I'm just repeating this here since it seems to have been overlooked in the wake of the new thread:

Could I just make a personal request that people stop putting their logs in swap-tags? It's rather bothersome when I have to highlight text (because it's too dark, or whatever) and end up closing the tag by accident, losing my place in the process.

[CODE] tags work for cutting down on length, and the box for it is conveniently exactly as wide as standard MSPA images.

Geminex
02-06-2011, 12:38 PM
Hmm...
Code tags do have the downside that any long text stretches the box, so you need to scroll horizonally as well as vertically.
But Swap can be annoying as well.

Guys, let's give CODE a try. Everyone use it for a few posts, then we'll see how well it works. If we don't like it, we can always go back to SWAPing.

Bard The 5th LW
02-07-2011, 03:15 PM
I also support the use of CODE tags for now.

Geminex
02-07-2011, 03:35 PM
I think his support is unwavering. But the proposal he's supporting is a preliminary one. That is to say, it's not necessarily permanent.

In other words, use code tags until we say you can stop. Oh yeah. Use them. Use them gooooood.

POS Industries
02-07-2011, 03:45 PM
I need to see about bringing back the TL;DR tags or something operationally similar.

Geminex
02-07-2011, 03:50 PM
That might be useful. Neither Spoiler or Code are really ideal.

SO YES.
DO THAT.
I COMMAND IT.

POS Industries
02-07-2011, 05:07 PM
A compromise has been reached and a change to the swap tag has been made. They are now activated by double-clicking instead of single-clicking. Hopefully that should be more convenient than it is inconvenient.

Flarecobra
02-07-2011, 05:10 PM
That would be excellent, POS.

Geminex
02-07-2011, 05:17 PM
HUGE BITCH

This is working very well indeed. Thanks.

That addresses the problem nicely, soooooo we will henceforth go back to SWAPing like a collection of bosses. Or trolls, as that may be.

...

And now I'm stuck making a Trollslum version of "Like a Boss". Thanks, guys.

Loyal
02-16-2011, 01:15 PM
I just grabbed one of the panels on the MSPA site. Specifically one of the earlier conversations between Vriska and Doc Scratch. (Ctrl+F "highlight" should help). And then I edit it as necessary.

[edit]As a note, Ovie, my post was written from the perspective of past Burgun, before she connected to you. My next post is her getting Leraje into the medium.

I am both relieved and dismayed that only the triangular structure at the bottom will actually be teleported into the medium.

But if I knew how, I'd totally draw the entire thing crumbling from the simultaneous effects of Burgun's hive not being there anymore, and the meteor impact.

Dude, I've been here working on a new post this entire time! Day after day, toiling away over a pit of red-hot words, picking them out to use in sculpting this literary masterpiece. Clutching these searing letter jumbles with nary a bit cloth between them and my palm, listening them sizzle as I hurriedly place them down upon the page. And how I would love to just let them go. To let these fresh words fall down and hit the floor and start a fire.

But I don't. And I continue on with my post-craft, aching and weary but never ceasing!

Okay, maybe I ceased a few times for a soda break. And then a sandwich break. Not to mention the dance breaks.

Alright, so I'm just working on it off and on between bouts of slothfulness and playing Persona. It's not my fault, The Answer is real stinking hard.

@Token post: Wait what

I didn't overstep or anything, did I? I had planned for Tergum to slowly begin to lose it, and Black Text Tergum is going to be the eventual outcome of that. He won't directly interfere with the events, if you're worried about that; just sort of be a douche to Tergum because he's become a jaded, nihilistic asshole.

Is this one of those choose-your-own-demise type stories?

To be fair, Tergum is a writer.

Okay guys, nows the time where I encourage speeding up entries. The real plot will only begin once I feel a sufficient number have reached the medium. If you are next in line to enter, send me a PM and I will inform you of your Cruxite artifact/test of character.

I don't have any Aldurin posts going, but I can try for an exile or something.

Bard The 5th LW
03-14-2011, 07:32 PM
The exiles can't really carry any communication until the medium.

Maybe we can do things a bit differently. Since there's a bit of slowing and its holding up the whole line, maybe some of the players can elect to break up into 4 sessions of 4 for a brief amount of time and then connect up with the other groups afterward? I'd still prefer two teams, but different entrie groups may speed it up.

It would likely go like this:

1.)Tergum, Ballaa, Iropha, Scalis
2.)Reztek, Vintag, Nasryl, Aldurin
3)Caoway, Leraje, Burgun, Piron
4.)Glissa, Zebrek, Gorrma, Sharl

What do you all think?

Aldurin
03-14-2011, 07:50 PM
Reasonable, Aldurin could notice while tracking the meteors that they'll impact to early for the procession, and order a split for both teams to speedline the process.

Bard The 5th LW
03-14-2011, 08:03 PM
Alright then, we're picking up this crazy train. Speeded entry is a go. Earl, go ahead and have Aldurin make his declaration in like a memo or something. Don't bother putting it in the pad. Just have him send the message out so it can be posted in character quickly.

I'd guess the first person of the small group. But that would make some people change their server/client for a short period.

Arcanum
03-15-2011, 12:13 PM
Nah the small groups are only temporary. We keep the original chain order, it's just there will be more people entering at the same time. So Scalis would still link up with Reztek and Piron would still link up with Glissa.

Then let me put that smile right back on your face. 'm outta here.

I guess life is just... well, catching up to me. Stuff's been happening, there's been some major changes, there's just been so much to deal with; school, health, family. Arc spotted me on TF2 yesterday, and that was literally the second time in weeks that I've had the time and energy to actually do anything not involving work of some sort. Now's particuarly intense, for a couple of reasons I'd rather not go into, and it'll get better. But I don't think by much.

It's not that I don't have fun here. I do. Hell, I feel at home here! And I'll certainly lurk a bit, and maaaybe throw in a post here or there (though I doubt it). And I'm sure you all have chat clients. I certainly hope so, I wanna keep in touch. But I can't promise that I'll be around at all, and I really don't think I can keep up with commitments. That includes umbral and trollslum. And I'm really, really sorry about that, particuarly the latter. People have been putting work into this, I've made a commitment to be part of it, and I feel like crap for leaving like this. But there's things I have to put first. And I'm honestly sorry.

I'll spend time putting stuff in order, getting your IM screennames, that sort of thing. I can make that much time. Bard, AB, my characters are yours. I'll make one more post for both, you tell me what it should contain. My inbox is empty again (had no idea that it was full, that was just stupid coincidence), so a PM would work.

Bard, I wanna talk to you in particular. I think we can at least finalize a couple of things, and then it'll just be poor little Scalis I'm abandoning. And maybe we can work something out for him, some... clean break, one that doesn't hurt the RP. There's gotta be something. I don't wanna spoil other people's work any more than I'm already doing.

AB, you've always seemed to have a pretty good picture of Impact. Not the picture I intended, but eh. Treat him as an NPC, have him go about his world-dominating ways, or don't. Hey, maybe this'll be Pierce's big break.

Like I said above, I wanna stay in touch with you guys. All of you wait fuck Drac's gonna read this Most of you are great people. I actually feel I've learned quite a bit from and I don't wanna break off all contact, cause I just know I'd regret that.

Hell, I regret this already. But it's necessary. I've been vague as to why but... bluh. Just trust me on this one? Please?

Huh. Is that already it? I'm sorry, I've got to go, I'm sorry...
Ah, yes, one last thing. Thank you, all of you. Like I said, you've impressed me, made me laugh, made me think. I've learned a lot here, I've changed in a few ways (for the better, I think, I hope), I respect many of you, and you deserve it. Keep being awesome.

And I think that wraps it up.

If I can, if time frees up, if I just get better at dealing with stuff, if I can help it, I'll be back. Like I said, I feel at home here, this place makes me laugh. I want to return. But it might be months or a year or three.

And until then, ladies and gentlemen, this has been Geminex, wannabe strategist, master of overeloquence and hopefully not too much of an asshole. And if I may be permitted one last bit of self-indulgence, allow me to play myself out. (http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/showtime-piano-refrain?permalink)

So, on the subject of dropping out, I'm gonna make another rolecall.Anyone not still in, let me know so I can sort of streamline the entries more. If you don't respond by... lets say the 17th then I may just oust you from the RP.

I might write something up today and edit in the memos/trollogs later, if that's okay. I can't access the edupad right now thanks to my currently available interweb technology.

Arcanum
04-11-2011, 08:54 PM
I'm here, as evidence of my recent post :D

However part 2 has been delayed thanks to the plague that is exams. Stupid school making me study in order to do good on tests.

It's like they make the assumption that we have the mental fortitude and time to handle such study, it's ridiculous.

Still in the game, just been particularly lazy lately.

Bard The 5th LW
04-14-2011, 09:31 PM
This makes OC, Mauve, Earl, Flare, SSB, Arc, Ahrha, and Ninsie still in. I assume Drac is still about what with his eduPad presence.

I might need to move the deadline back or there's going to be a lot of purges.

Burgun and Sharl suddenly die of heart attacks immediately after entering the game, and everyone else continues to play.

Loyal's been around, just busy.

04-17-2011, 12:55 PM
Alright, I'm going to extend this more because I didn't get as many responses as I'd like. If you are still interested, just give a post here. This will probably extend to Friday. Fail that, and the purges will begin.

Actually, never mind, thats enough. Today can be considered the last day for role-call. I'll send a PM to those who failed to respond.

Menarker
04-17-2011, 01:07 PM
Sorry, I didn't know there was a rolecall. I'm still in, given how I'm contributed to the Edupad trying to work things out with Mauve recently.

I'm out.

Bard The 5th LW
04-17-2011, 01:30 PM
Alright, waiting for Loyal, but I'll give him a benefit of doubt given Flare's reassurance.

I'll NPC Ballaa for now. Get him in the medium. After that Ill figure out something

Menarker
04-17-2011, 01:34 PM
Actually, can I drop out?

I came to realize that I didn't have any particular ideas of what I was going to do with Sharl later. It has became increasingly hard to think of new concepts nevermind write them, especially since zaniness and trolling and messing with time has never been a strong suit of mine.

I habitually said I'd stay in because I contributed like yesturday or the day before.

But yeah, the character isn't as much fun to write as I thought it would be. Sorry guys.

You can still use him to get Gorrma in or whatever.

Flarecobra
04-17-2011, 01:48 PM
Does this mean it's dying off?

Bard The 5th LW
04-17-2011, 01:57 PM
Hopefully not. Its just 2 people. As long as you guys are still interested, it'll keep going.

For those who need entry, Like Gorrma and Iropha, you can go ahead and NPC Ballaa/Sharl on your own, or I can help you out with it. If you want me to help you out, try to be on the edupad at the same time as me.

Aldurin
04-17-2011, 10:19 PM
Can this justify permadeathing some of the characters then?

Loyal
04-17-2011, 10:48 PM
I'll stick around.

Bard The 5th LW
04-18-2011, 02:29 PM
Ballaa will likely survive, but in the background, and Scalis will have stuff to do before being removed plot-wise.

Still sorta figuring out Sharl.

Aldurin
04-19-2011, 11:17 PM
I've been lying to everyone (including myself) about being able to stay in the rp. It appears as though it's one of those periods for me where my productivity gets infinitely closer to 0 as time passes.

As much as I would like to continue with this, I know that I won't be able to get around to it. Sorry.

And then there were 12(?).

Flarecobra
04-19-2011, 11:45 PM
I don't think I can continue... just too much of life crapping on me to really get into this.

Sorry.

This is starting to look more set on going on hiatus until the crew can get their lives back with every passing moment.

Bard The 5th LW
04-20-2011, 07:15 PM
Uggh this is tough. I'm not going to say it won't die.

Anyone want to accelerate to the point that they're in? Just skip the collab parts of the entries? I can just give you all the names and descriptions of the challenges and lands. Have a little montage that lets things speed up.

04-20-2011, 07:16 PM
Do you have the appropriate music to montage with?

Arcanum
04-20-2011, 10:24 PM
Well I was going to post again tomorrow with my entry regardless, since I'm done exams. If you want to pm me Rez's land and a description of it, and possibly what will happen to him the moment he enters then I can incorporate that all into my post.

I refuse to let this die until I have time powers and start abusing them.

mauve
04-21-2011, 12:34 AM
And I refuse to let this die until Gorrma has entered her land and started eating the scenery.

Aldurin
04-21-2011, 01:50 AM
Come on, Gorrma could clearly eat the entire medium and then the green sun in order to make a proper death for the rp.

Bard The 5th LW
04-21-2011, 03:28 PM
Alright then, this will happen. I will send you guys the Land description and Names systematically as I make them up. As for Piron, Aldurin, Baalla, and Scalis, their lands and tests shall remain a super mystery.

That is the most pervasive of mysteries.

Aldurin
04-21-2011, 04:58 PM
Actually I realized that I'm not as much out as it is that the shitload of stuff that's keeping me away from this will die in late march.

I can try to respond to logs and stuff every so often when I remind myself to bookmark the pads on my laptop, but at most I may get one full post for the next few weeks.

I guess part of this is I don't want anyone driving my character.

So hiatus then?

A pity. I was going to have Aldurin go God Tier first and antagonize the other players. But now that you're here to enjoy such a thing Im afraid it cannot be.

Aldurin
04-21-2011, 10:48 PM
I meant MAY. Fuck.

So yeah like a 1 month hiatus because anybody in the education system is currently being shitted on by their courses. Also fuck Calculus and the fact that it's required for any sort of tech direction, also fuck the fact my high school only had AP Calculus instead of regular Calculus.

Apologies to people who haven't yet gotten land/test. On the last ones I think.

Oh, and the montage will likely star this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e056R97svz8) little track.

Mauve, just a heads-up in that I updated the Sharl/Gorrma conversation on the pad.

Update on my currently non-existent post!

So it turns out writing about a character creating a song is kind of a pain in the ass for me. I've started over four times already. It will get done but I don't have a definite ETA for now.
