| | @Magus: Getting a bit militant, eh 
Anyway, since I'll be playing an independant, just for the sole purpose of messing with Magus  I'll forego that stuff. The reason I say that, is because ym character will not be any major portian of the story (ie// Will not be a hero, notable figure or the deciding factor in any major conflict he is in). The sole purpose behind my character will be to pop in from time to time, and just be there for a bit. Right now, I'm not sure what class or even species my character will be, but I'll try to make it as interesting as possible. |

| | Eh, perhaps.  I really don't want a cluttered character thread, if that's what we're going to use to list inventory. Since edits can't be seen without checking each individual message, too many messages mean a serious pain in ass. The "being accurate to your stats" issue is also very important, since the essence of all of this is, after all, roleplaying and not "be good at everything and anything"-ing (been there, done that ).

| | Magus, I agree with all the propositions you mentioned. The "waves of criticism and angry replies" seem to be more like ripples. 
The important thing everyone needs to remember is that this is a story, not just a RPG. We don't have to roll dice. We don't have to keep track of HPs, we don't have to say "my character doesn't have the pursuade skill so he couldn't convince anyone of anything". It's a story. Create your character in your head, especially their personality. Put your character on paper (character thread) so everyone else has a general idea of his/her strengths and weaknesses and possessions. we don't have to roll initiative every round. Just tell us what your character does and what happens then. Be flexible with other writers. We're all in this together. If someone writes something about your character, roll with it. If it's slightly out of character, roll with it. If it's TREMENDOUSLY out of character, PM them and see if they can change things a bit.
Above all else, this is to be fun for everyone! You don't have to be a great writer. You don't even have to be a good writer. You just have to enjoy writing and interracting with other writers. (Key word: Enjoy)

IMO, that is just more fun to read, it shouldn't take you hours and hours to write it though.

| | | Ok, now I'm confused.
Have there been changes that I don't know about?
What's going on?
