Paradox Discussion 1: Because the sign-up thread is beyond full

[Toastburner B]

Have any other nightmare inducing monsters to inflict on each other? This is the place to talk about it!


EDIT:

And just in case it isn't clear, the italics in the opening post is when Isaac is remembering what happened at the Hampington Animal Shelter, as mentioned in the flavor text in the sign-up thread.

[Overcast]

Hmm, probably one of my worst posts. Definitely need some more flesh time before I put up my next one.

[Toastburner B]

Well, after the literary masterpiece that was the opening post, it can't be that bad.

[Aerozord]

sad how you basically described my own home city

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Oh good, just what we needed, a bit of attempted rape to bring back the shiny happy joyfulness of this rp...

[Toastburner B]

Oh good, just what we needed, a bit of attempted rape to bring back the shiny happy joyfulness of this rp...

...This really makes me want to read the RP thread to see what is going on. :wtf:

Shame I have to go to class.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Oh don't worry Toasty, it'll still be there when you come back, waiting for you, its evil vileness growing exponentially, until it reaches critical mass and becomes a sentient force of pure malevolence that YOU unleashed upon the internet.

Shame on you for creating such a monster!

[lazy man]

Ah, it's not much. Just gruesome transformations, attempted rape, brutal murder...

So about par for the course really. Although the attempted rape is definitely new.

[batgirl]

It seems like gross and violent stuff is just par for the course in this rp.

I have a feeling Amanda will be eating more of her patients...

[Overcast]

There, that felt much better.

[Teal Mage]

It occurs to me that Beatrice (Girasol) will probably encounter Riley (Overcast) sooner or later, given they seem to occupy similar hunting grounds.

In fact, I'd be surprised if they hadn't already met.

[Aerozord]

and here I was worried that graphically describing a skull being crushed was too much

[Teal Mage]

Well one of us has to be normal.

Bloody angsty angsters. Stop being so depressed, so you turned into monsters in a mind-bendingly painful transformation and ate someone. Get over it! Asher totally doesn't remember it at all has.

Seriously! You can take over a third world country with those powers.

In conclusion: Babies, QQ more.

Incidentially: The cherry sparks are clearly a result of his Sue-ness. All the Sues do it!

Other girl's his sister, by the way.

[Toastburner B]

There is no normal! Just bad memories, bloody murder, attempted rape, bloody murder, drug abuse, and apparently bloody murder!

We already have a bit of a different dynamic from the last RP in that (and someone correct me if I am wrong) we already have people who have gone, for lack of a better term, dark side in the sense that they aren't really trying to hold back their monsters. It makes me wonder if it would have one that way last time if not for the fact I was holding summoners as a trump card against such things.

Don't take that as to say I'm not allowing it. If you wish to go dark side, feel free to. And don't take it to mean that I want you to go dark side, either! Just go about as you wish. I have various and assorted plans in the wings, and I can adapt them to however things shake out.

[Astral Harmony]

Yeesh, you wanted me to be a horrific monster.

If you weren't going for bloody murder, I would've created a monster than simply knocked people silly by hitting them with wiffleball bats.

...

Evil wiffleball bats.

Kinda sucks, though. I think that first post is the first and last chance Kaitlyn will have as far as sexual encounters go, romantic or not.

Incidentally, I've got some ideas for enemy characters, though I'm uncertain about how to fit 'em in the story right yet.

[Teal Mage]

Curious, how long ago would you all say it has been since you started changing? I know some of you have said in your posts - mostly asking to get the other's information. I'm putting my character at maaaaybe a week. Probably a little less. Six days sounds right.

I don't see why you can't re-add Summoners, in some form or another, to the game.

Alternatively: SECA and the Society from the Mother of Hell (hahahaha, I suggest more crossovers!) could totally work here. Magic apparently exists enough to allow the later, and it would be a little strange if the Governments didn't have some department devoted to monster busting. Secret Societies in general are all the rage in these settings too, or so I hear!

PS: I'll make a point to run any posts by you regarding the Police Investigations of the killings and disappearances, to make sure whatever quote-on-quote "leads" they may have, in-character.

On that note, have the Murderers been publicized to the wider population? If so, what is the current "Official" explanation?

[Riin Whitewind]

Fortunately, Rawli doesn't remember yet.

Unfortunately for her, she didn't eat her mother.





... Though it could still happen.

[Teal Mage]

That would be one lunch I could forgive.

The rest of you get no such forgiveness. :D

None.

[Girasol of Chaos]

Bea has been letting the days and nights blend together, so she's having some trouble.

I'd estimate about 9 days though.

Also, clearly drugs vs poison is the best encounter ever. I see that going over well.

[Toastburner B]

Incidentally, I've got some ideas for enemy characters, though I'm uncertain about how to fit 'em in the story right yet.

Well, if you are concerned about that, shoot me a PM and I'll help you fit them in, if they fit in, of course. This goes for everyone, really.

(hahahaha, I suggest more crossovers!)

Oh, that's a shame. Your character suddenly has a heart attack and dies. Alas, poor whathisname, he died so young...

Magic apparently exists enough to allow the later, and it would be a little strange if the Governments didn't have some department devoted to monster busting. Secret Societies in general are all the rage in these settings too, or so I hear!

I can neither confirm or deny that something like this was already planned.

That said, I didn't want something like the summoners of the last RP to limit you guys this time around. If you want to be brutal, murdering, one-eyed one-horned flying people eater, that's up to you.

On that note, have the Murderers been publicized to the wider population? If so, what is the current "Official" explanation?

Well, stuff like what happened at the Animal Shelter is going to catch a lot of media attention. But since some of the others are hunting transients and such, it might not draw as much attetion. The media has also caught wind of the rapid rise in "missing-person-cases" as of late, and some are linking them to the rash of brutal murders, but right now that's more to draw ratings than based on any actual evidence. The police have instated a policy of making no comment on active cases (which is to say that Nearstaph is being saddled with most of the murders so the rest of the department can keep on with business as usual, and he doesn't have time to jibber jabber with the press).

[Aerozord]

that got me thinking, decent chance, sudden brutal murders with simular patterns, decent chance the police would expect a single serial killer, assuming they were far enough apart to allow it

[Teal Mage]

What patterns are you referring to exactly?

Because there aren't any.

Well, unless you mean the bodies seem butchered by something that isn't human. But, the thing is? The amount of ritualization that kind of killing suggests would make it difficult to believe that the killer would change their 'ritual' between corpses on a whim. Case and point, Lazy Man's 'victim' was electrocuted (then eaten), while any that Riley killed would probably appear to have overdosed (heavily) before being eaten. Each Paradox seems to kill differently.

It isn't likely that these murders/incidents were committed by the same person. They're also appearing all over the city - its rather unthinkable that someone who works so hard to simulate animal attacks (ritualized killers tend to like routine) changes his hunting grounds so fast. Further, the victims have no link to one another, that we can see. Yes, its suspicious that all these deaths/missing person reports are occurring at once, but its far more likely to be the work of multiple (possibly related) killers, than any single person.

The scale involved is, quite simply, too big for one person. Before this week (a lot of us went Paradox this week), perhaps a single killer would be reasonable, but the sudden spike (and it would be sudden) would rule out a single killer effectively. Plus, the police should have been aware of the sudden sites of slaughter in the back-allies, even if they're not receiving much publicity, before hand. My discussions with Overcast suggest these are...very bloody, and have been happening for a month. Rather difficult to over look consistantly.

In conclusion: Maybe it's a Gang War, maybe it's a Copy Cat Killer, maybe it's a Murder Cult – the fact remains, it is very, very, very, unlikely that one person is behind all this.

[Riin Whitewind]

What's the style of updates in a Toastburner B game?

One post each, then wait for a GM post?

Or is it post as inspiration strikes unless a conflict occurs?

Or another form I'm unfamiliar with (perhaps one that grows tentacle legs and eats you)?

[Krylo]

Or is it post as inspiration strikes unless a conflict occurs?This one.

Or another form I'm unfamiliar with (perhaps one that grows tentacle legs and eats you)?Though this works well.

[Toastburner B]

True, but outside of the brutality of the attacks, and the fact the corpses were devoured, the actual methods of attacks vary pretty wildly. Incognito’s killing of the girl is nothing like what Fiend does to his prey, which is different from what Sorm did in the animal shelter. So while similar, the different methods of execution would probably be enough to dispel the idea of a single killer (at least, if what TV leads me to believe is true and serial killers tend to adopt a favored method of killing).


Way too much stuff to quote
Has anyone told you you might be thinking too hard about this?

Also, while you make some good points, keep in mind that not all the victims have been found. batgirl's first kill went up in a fire, AB's is out in the woods, etc. So while it has spiked in the last few days, it might not be as noticeable as you think.

This one.

Though this works well.

For crying out loud, now people who aren’t even in the RP are answering questions before I get a chance to.

But yes, I tend to post when I think I need to rather than any set time table or anything. If things are humming along without me, I’ll let it go for awhile.

That said, I'll like post in one way or another tomorrow.


This is the first TB RP I haven't been in. Just didn't feel like wangst monsters

We are crawling in our skins, and our wounds, they do not heal.

[Steel Shadow]

Has anyone told you you might be thinking too hard about this?


No such thing! We must think of every loop hole to overtax your brain into madness! You've GMed us before, you should know this.

MustnotdropoutbeforeI'veevenpostedmustnotdropoutbe foreI'veevenpostedmustnotdropoutbeforeI'veevenpost ed...

Working on getting the post I've been working on done for today!

[Teal Mage]

Upon further reflection, I'm afraid I simply don't have the time or energy to participate in this RP, I'm afraid.

It may actually be highly detrimental to my health if I try to pay attention, so, I'm going to drop!

I apologize to those of you who were looking forward to playing with me, but I certainly hope you can get something out of the RP. May make an effort to return later on, but that depends on how far it gets before circumstances improve!

Good luck!

[batgirl]

I attributed Amanda's change being 2 weeks previous because she was then in the hospital recovering.

Also, I'm kind of wondering if our monsters can be picky about killing. I can see Eldonna dissecting her prey and eating certain organs, just to keep the medical theme going with her.

[Overcast]

Well Fiend only takes their fluids, not just blood mind you but everything liquid in their body. Follows his substance addiction theme.

[Girasol of Chaos]

Rift is not picky and will eat everything she can, excluding most thicker bones. Doesn't stop her from chewing on them.

Method would be disemboweling or throat-slitting, with poison as secondary. It doesn't taste as good if you are clean about it.

[Aerozord]

I just hope Incognito's method of eating the shadow, and thus eating its analog is kosher

I would threaten to find some even angstier music, but that would be an empty threat as I don't want to inflict that on myself.

Well Fiend only takes their fluids, not just blood mind you but everything liquid in their body. Follows his substance addiction theme. Sure, I don’t see why not. I wasn’t really expecting monsters with themes, but since I gave Steel Shadow a theme song, I suppose I should have seen this coming.

You know? I totally missed that. That’s what I get for checking this thread mostly in the middle of the night, I guess.

For the time being, please refrain from shadow eating. While I can see how you could see it as progression of your ability to move objects by manipulating their shadow, “moving things” and “eating things” isn’t quite the same thing. We can add shadow eating back into your skills at a later time (when everyone gets a new skill), but for the time being it’s too much like a different skill for me to allow right now.




I didn’t have as much time as I had hoped today, so the update will have to wait until tomorrow evening. My apologizes.

[Girasol of Chaos]

Oh not at all. It's part of my job to spew ideas at a mere suggestion.

Also I assure you Bea is quite friendly when she isn't hungry. I swear!

[Arcanum]

Been busy studying for my exams, hence my lack of posting. My last one is on the 20th, so I'll post shortly after that at the very latest. The more likely possibility is that I'll end up neglecting studying at one point and write my intro post because I hate studying for long periods of time.

[Astral Harmony]

@ Toastburner B: There are no physical witnesses to Kaitlyn's first murder and, unless you GM it otherwise, no witnesses to her second kill, either.

Though there are two people involved in her particular adventures.

The first one is the detective, the same detective I PM'd you about.

The second is Trevor Wales, Kaitlyn's charming, handsome and yet nerdy older brother. He knows about Kaitlyn's Paradox because she told him directly that she killed and devoured Jeffery Woods. Trevor has always been like a knight in shining armor to Kaitlyn, and Kaitlyn has confided in him time and time again about all of her problems (except for that kind of problem, knowwhatimean?) and Kaitlyn turned to him immediately with her latest and greatest dilemma yet.

Trevor remains a steadfast protector, and is busting his ass to get Kaitlyn the answers she needs to the questions she would probably never be able to answer on her own. They remain in active contact, though Trevor will likely stay in Kaitlyn's hometown the entire story.

[lazy man]

Since you asked, Ryan was a "witness" in his case. And he's not very pleased about it, either.

[Overcast]

Sorry spent the last four hours working out a character sheet. NUMBERS DEAR GOD THE NUMBERS.

Anyway, witnesses include one lucky crackhead named Avram Groberkoltz who happened to be on crack that day and took off running like his life depended on it(it did). An unreliable source at the best of times what you get out of him will be peppered with his own substance abuse stories. Since Riley has forced control though there hasn't been any notable witnesses.

I'm not looking for people who witnessed you, only if your character is counted as a "witness" to an attack that the cops know about. Given your history, I don't think you went running to the police. I probably didn't make that very clear, sorry.

[Riin Whitewind]

Rawli counts!

I do have her first hunt written up, but since she doesn't yet remember what happened I left it out of her introduction.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I have always had it in my mind that James' first transformation is distinctly murky and vague, so that even he doesn't know who or what he may have killed. He just woke up somewhere covered in blood (possibly his own, possibly not) with no real idea of anything. So he is not considered a "witness" because even he's not clear on any particular crimes he may have commited.

[batgirl]

Considering that she crashed and burned an ambulance and survived, amanda is definitely a witness.

[SinrXIII]

Darrius is a witness as well, seeing how he woke up in a hospital bed after a tattoo artist was found mangled and half chewed up.

[Girasol of Chaos]

Beatrice is not a witness, but is probably assumed dead.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I was going to try and get a post up sometime today but my pc is on the fritz and I lost all emphusiasm for doing much with it today. I'll get something up tomorrow hopefully.

Any idea how long it'll be before you throw some plot advancement at us Toasty? I have an idea in mind that may take up 2 posts but I can squeeze it all into 1 if you want to move things along a bit sooner.

[Overcast]

Will be advancing the inevitable subplot, "Murder Cult" some time today.

[Toastburner B]

Sorry that I kind of disappeared over the weekend, turned out to be a bit busier than I thought it would be.

AB: Sorry I haven’t responded back to your PM yet. I’ll get back to you soon.

@Everyone Else: Than you for the responses. The next update (which will be up…er…sometime? Tonight if I’m lucky, tomorrow night more likely) will likely feature a general call in for the known witnesses of the attacks. I’m still working on something to draw the attention of the non-witnesses, but don’t worry, you won’t be left out.

[Girasol of Chaos]

Hey I just realized that Overcast and I are hogging up a bit of space.

I'm more than willing to hold the phone for a while if someone is trying to type something up, just let us know.

Edit: Edited my most recent post so the scene can slow and/or close. Original saved and put on the backburner just in case.

Meh, it's not like there's a limited amount of space or anything. If this thread fills up, we can start another one. Don't worry about it.

Well, at least not in the sense you are worrying about it. You'll see what I'm talking about if I ever get done with this update.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Well that came out longer than expected, I do love to ramble on sometimes. Sorry about not taking your bait on the circus there Toasty, but James has a plan, and when James has a plan nothing gets in the way. Last time one of these plans almost destroyed a zoo and killed a couple of elephants, so watch out! Though I doubt that will happen this time... >.>

But yeah, I have 1 more post to make and then I can be wherever I need to be on the way back.

[Steel Shadow]

I'm only almost a week late! That's perfectly reasonable for me! Yeah!

Took a while because I kept scrapping what I was working on. It's annoying when what you're writing just doesn't click. In the end, short introduction post of Charlie, which explains almost nothing about him! Flashbacks and exposition are for posers, yo!

Also, can anyone tell me where I stole the name Charlie Heat from? I can only remember the name, and it's been bugging me. I know it has something to do with Cheating...

Well anyways, I am finally on board! Let the madness begi- Wait, you guys have made good progress there. Damn. Well, carry on, carry on.

[Toastburner B]

Sorry for the lack of updates. Between work and school, I'm having less time for this than I thought. Hopefully people don't mind the slow burn method.

Or if you do mind, let me and know and I'll do better.

I don't have time for an update tonight, but look for one tomorrow...hopefully.

[Overcast]

*whip whip* HYA! Back to work GM! Nah I kid, take your time. As long as you don't outright abandon it I'll keep posting.

[Steel Shadow]

No problemo. Don't worry, we'll still be here when you're ready.

[Toastburner B]

No update tonight I'm afraid (too tired to think of a good plot hook for the circus chasing people), but I'll update something or other tomorrow.

[Aerozord]

afraid I wont really be able to check in until monday, now if it hasn't updated too much I'll jump back in, but dont wait up

[batgirl]

Sorry, I was away at the parents down south and didn't get to update.

[Toastburner B]

My apologizes again. This week officially sucked. I was struck down with the flu, and that kinda sucked all the creative energy right out of me.

If anyone is still interested, I'll put together an update come Sunday or Monday.

[lazy man]

Take your time, Toasty. All of my time's been soaked up by school anyway, so it's not like I'm hurting for an update. Plus knowing it'll eventually come it better than you just suddenly disappearing.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I'm just waiting for others to post. Anyone really...

[Girasol of Chaos]

Mmmm, that's some mighty fine crunch time, ain't it people?

Seriously, I'm guessing everyone else is dealing with finals right? That's why no one has responded in so long?

In related news, I can likely reply this week and next week. The following week I will be in a living zombie mode, and will likely not respond due to how close to snapping I will be. That is, at least until the 20th.

[lazy man]

Now while I can't really post anything (mostly due to how I ended my last post), I will just say I'm still kinda paying attention. Beyond that I'm not surprised things got a little busy right around now for just about everyone.

[Overcast]

Still here, just waiting.

[Toastburner B]

Honestly, I haven't had this big of run of bad luck since I ran Avvy VII. Shortly after I got over the flu, my computer got hit by a virus, so on the day I was going to post something I instead had to clean off my computer, and haven't had a lot of time since then.

I'll try to get something up tonight...because if not tonight I probably won't have time until Friday >_<.

[Toastburner B]

Obviously, I didn't get around to updating on Friday. Seeming as I'll have even less time with midterms this week, I think it's probably past time to call this one officially dead. Sorry, everyone, with the way my school and work schedule shook out, I don't have time the time to run an RP. That's what I get for starting one during a quarter break, I guess.

[Girasol of Chaos]

Although I will admit I am fairly disappointed, I cannot fault you for that. I have not gotten around to my side projects myself due to finals.

Good luck.

[Overcast]

Send me your plot notes Toasty, I'm thinking of taking direct control.

[Toastburner B]

Send me your plot notes Toasty, I'm thinking of taking direct control.

Heeheeheeheee....plot notes...that's a good one.

....Wait, your serious, aren't you?

If you want to take over (assuming anyone is still paying attention to this) she's all yours and I wish you luck. But seriously, I don't have any notes to speak of. Things pretty much didn't go the way I expected from the start (from the sign-up thread even. I didn't expect so many people to go the eldtrich abomination route), so I was kind of making it up as I went along. I'll throw a PM your way of what ideas I had, but it's not by any means a cohesive plot.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Send me your plot notes Toasty, I'm thinking of taking direct control.

No no no, you're doing it wrong!

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NdPl3casSVs/TMhZQC5i1EI/AAAAAAAAAYs/6SMyMvcqdGA/s320/Collector-General-ASSUMING-DIRECT-CONTROL.jpg

There we go. But yes, if someelse wants to take over I have no problem with this and would look forward to continuing. Becuase it seems everything I join on here recently peters out and dies before completetion.

But seriously, I don't have any notes to speak of.

I am so totally not surprised by this. Like, at all.

[Girasol of Chaos]

I'll be more than happy to provide assistance when I get the time (read, after the 21st) to keep this alive. If I need to post before then I could probably do so on a break.

Just don't die yet. Please.

[Toastburner B]

I am so totally not surprised by this. Like, at all.

While I will freely admit that I try to wing things too much, in my defense writing up a concrete plot would be an exercise in futility around here. I can't tell you how many times I've read a post in an RP I was running and thought to myself: "why would they do that to me?"

[Teal Mage]

Though, for the record, there will be blood if you abandon this one. :D

I may not be playing any more, but, I think I need to keep my promise~!

This'll be fun! (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y296/clod_strife/Fanarts/ChainsawAerith.jpg)

[Overcast]

As a note the bastard is totally lying, he has plot notes up the wazoo, coming to an eventual arc climax. I'll see what I can do with it.

[Aerozord]

personally I think the mistake was telling us about the "witness" hook after our first posts. If you told us from the start about this we could have all integrated it into our posts and had reason to all become interconnected. Since it was after those of us that didn't happen to mention it were kind of left dangling

[Toastburner B]

As a note the bastard is totally lying, he has plot notes up the wazoo, coming to an eventual arc climax. I'll see what I can do with it.

Technically not lying, as I didn't have any of that written down until I wrote it to send to you.

It just kinda turned out it actually had a plot. In fact maybe I should write down stuff more often, because all of a sudden it had a plot.

[lazy man]

Just to note: I'll respond eventually. It's late and I have to do homework tomorrow, but I'll get on top of it in the next day or two.

[Overcast]

Noted, take your time. It is just good to see the activity.

[Girasol of Chaos]

I will be posting, just not until Thursday afternoon at the earliest. This is finals week.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Yeah I'm still here too, will try to get a post up either tonight or tomorrow sometime. Don't worry about Ifrit either, I knew when going off on this little "adventure" I'd have to get back to the main plot eventually, so I planned accordingly.

Circuses... Definitely not my idea of a good time. Oh, hey, remember me? I'm considering actually completing my character sheet and joining in on the 'fun'. If you'll allow it, of course, Mr. New GM.

[Overcast]

Of course! The more the merrier. The big explosion has yet to occur so nothing really holding you back.

[Wizardcat]

'Kay. Now do something about your inbox so my PM can get through.

[Overcast]

Hmph, you could have just put it here. I'll delete some messages, but don't think I'm doing it for you! I just need the space is all...

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Meh, not the greatest post ever, but at least I'm back in the game and on track. Now that I've got all the pointless exposition and internal monologuing out of the way I can start chilling out a bit until shit hits the fan and we can start wrecking the place.

[batgirl]

Sorry, kind of beyond bogged down right now with work and school. Solider on without me!

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Anyone else still in this then?

[Overcast]

I am, kinda hoping one of the people who is not separated from the two main events currently will drop in and say hi.

[lazy man]

...DOH! So yeah, I got so wrapped up in school and other bullshit in the last week that I've completely forgotten to post. I don't really wanna drop, just gotta remember to post... well, if I can.

[Overcast]

Post whenever dude its fine by me. I'll keep this shit goin like in the old days when I first joined an RP forum and people took weeks. WEEKS.

[Riin Whitewind]

I foolishly assumed that no one was playing after Toast peaced it, so I stopped checking in on these threads.

I'll have a post written up for Rawli before I leave for 'con today. :3:

[lazy man]

What's this? I posted? Things can... continue?

WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE?!

[Overcast]

Dear God, now I have to PROGRESS THE STORYLINE! My soul...it is crushed. But seriously I'll get on that soon enough, once my brain juices start working together. Expect things to go south quickly for the poor raggedy bastard.

Alright the following is about to get just a slight bit more complicated than I might enjoy. I imagine we'll be hitting a large degree of small action posts as Ryan starts tearing ass all over the police station. The other guy will be changing soon enough.

Also how long till our other so called witness changes over?

[Girasol of Chaos]

I'm almost disappointed that my character didn't hang around the police station. Oh well.

[Overcast]

It'll start getting BIG AND LOUD! I'd imagine it'll attract more than just our huntsmen.

[Girasol of Chaos]

So.....maybe I'm just being selfish because my most recent class just ended yesterday but.....

What's going on here? We haven't budged in forever. I know that a certain post(not gonna name names) is needed to progress but really? It's almost been a month.

I mean if it's dead it's dead, just tell me though. Now that I actually have time to do side projects I'm wondering if this is one I should keep on my list or not.

[Overcast]

Seems pretty dead right now, I could send out an all points bulletin and see if we can't rise it again. The Rp section has been more than a little dead lately.
