NPF Avatars Discussion: Beware the random monsters! - Page 5

I find it ironic that the organising to split up has been finalised at a time when it isn't as necessary any more. Still, anything that aids clarity is good I guess.

So, Newb, I take it EST stands for European Standard Time?

If so, it looks like I'm with you.

Toastburner B · 01-19-2006, 01:57 PM

I'm not sure if splitting by timezone is an equal way of doing it.

Here's what I got so far:

TWWDI: GMT-6
Mauve Mage: GMT-8
Toastburner B: GMT-7
Melfice: GMT+1
GAURD: GMT+10
Rhiya: GMT+10(?)
Newb: GMT-5 (EST is Eastern I would assume)

The majority of those who posted their time zone are hanging out in the US (Mauve, Twiddy, Newb, and myself). Rhiya and GARUD are pretty much in the same timezone (the chart I'm looking stuff off of sucks, so please forgive my inability to tell Aussie timezones apart

)

If we went by timezones, chances are one group would be far larger than the rest, due to the fact that most NPFers live in the Americas.

Then again...I'm just here for the ride...don't me me. :yarr:

In my opinion, time zones really don't matter, since we're all on at different times anyway. Things have quieted down here, so the way I see it, anybody could be in a group with anybody else and it would work out okay. But that's just me. And as we all know, I'm a freak.

Well, yes, you are, but is that necessarily a bad thing?

Anywho... yeah, things have slowed down enough that the original reason for splitting up has been lost, though that doesn't mean we can't still split up.

Having three different scenes going all at once can get somewhat confusing (though we did pretty well in the last avatar RP), so if it seems like a good idea, I'd like to make a suggestion. In the past, whenever I split my RP players into separate teams, I would have the members of each team all posting in a particular color to make it easier to remember where a post was taking place and who was involved. Worked like a charm, too. If you think this is a good plan, then once everyone has chosen a path, we'll assign a color to each team. How about it?

Rhiya Ravenwing · 01-20-2006, 04:03 AM

that would be a good idea.

Left Tunnel: Blue (team 1)
Middle Tunnel: red (team 2)
Right tunnel: yellow (team 3)

or will people dispute the distribution of the primary colors?

Bailey · 01-20-2006, 07:34 AM

Hey!

I wanted blue!

(is already going left) :p

And you can't think of an advantage to follow me?

I'm hurt!

Melfice · 01-20-2006, 10:44 AM

Also, will our mono/dialogue be the coloured text, or the entire blur of text?
'Cause I'm already using cyan as my speech-bubble, as it were.

Seriously, Newb. What have you to offer? I had to pick between a god, somebody who sort of knows the way and you.

But, if it makes you feel better, I did roll a d6, and it did roll a 4.

Bailey · 01-20-2006, 11:27 AM

I might pull candy out of my bag!

That's an advantage!

Hey, I might even pull out some fancy new thingymawhatsit that you could use.

Or I might cut my hand on a shaving razor when I reach in and end up pulling out a tissue!

Oh, wait, that's a bad thing.

Not here, apparently.

Good idea with the color coordinating, MT. That'll be helpful.
