Then again, it might take some practice making a purposly boring character interesting to read. I can see it being done, though.

Wow, Delmor has existed for about a year, and I ust realized we haven't ripped off any adventurer's tavern type place yet.
This will have to be rectified.

mayday22 Then again, it might take some practice making a purposly boring character interesting to read. I can see it being done, though. You've probably never read about a celebrity being mobbed by people with bizarre wristbands and being aided by two obsessed fangirls who are part of a dying mock-political party. Or a girl having fruit (especially pineapples) thrown at her for the simple reason that she was a freak. But mark my words, it's been done. By me. *shudder* Only Toshimi has read the full extent of these frankly awful stories. Don't ask about the celebrity one. I was a fangirl when I wrote that. Besides, the actions will actually make it interesting. If I can ever think of any actions. ^.^ But once I do, it'll be interesting.

Hello League. Since I haven't been around for awhile, I just wanted to ask a question I thought would be fine for the commentary topic. I just wanted a quick recap of what's been going on with some key characters in the RP after Doctor Clean's death and what is currently going on in the world of LoSI. Of course I have looked at some story plots, but with all of these new characters and what not... some of it is just getting confusing. Anyone ready to recap me?
(Please... I am looking for someone who can recap more than just what their character is doing.)

Hmm. Forst of all, I like the new character, Clean. (You don't mind if I call you Clean, do you?)
Hmm, off to sub-plot land. Forgive me if I get something wrong, I've been keeping a rather light watch on a lot of plot lines, so I could get confused myself.
After Doctor Jones leaves (which was right after The Politician and his followers leave) and most of the possible future League leaves too... Austin/Eagle Eye leaves for Area 42 to go get communicators, only to find out from General Spanky that they were Politician-made, so they should be destroyed. Shayne/The Spoon/Whatever he's going to be now follows him to Area 42, however, his crotch rocket breaks down, but he still gets to speak to General Spanky as planned. Then he goes to the Stop&P and stops some robbers with powers. Right afterwards, Black Rain decides to roam around Area 42. So far, he's only thought of what he might do. Meanwhile, Cait/Duct Tape Girl and Josh/Captain Pasty are leaving Channel Q, each profusely apologizing for what they had done before (You ought to know about this, it's the Cait-dating-Zack thing, I think. I missed some of this.). Natasha/The Mitt was basically apologizing to the people who died during the Channel Q incident for NOT catching them. Louis robs the restricted section of the Stop&P to go to Austin's house and reveal that Austin's father is his biological father. Austin freaks out when Lucas Aires confirms this and goes to the Mieux Theater to think. Stone decides to go to the DWHAM to search for some artifact, it is unclear what. He is planning a theft however, he has a sandbag for the pressure sensors. (Notice I'm trying to keep the storyline I'm in kind of quiet until the end. It's intentional, I don't want to shove a story I'm most familiar with in the middle. I might confuse you. Or myself. sweatdrop ) Mother Superior is planning to take Gore down as well as investigate Doctor Jones as an alias of Lex Lutheran. Mother Naomi Vica wants to take Superior down, but her guest at the monestary tells her to calm down and be patient. (The last post is a touch unclear, but that's what I got from it.) Scott/The Fridge goes home, wondered why he even thought a THING about heroism, and then fell asleep. Rich/Chuckles uses his father's Timepiece to go back to a fateful day in his past (though not much has happened for us to read). Garth leaves Josh's house and decides to leave the Muddle Way area, so as not to draw suspicion. Well, I think I've exhausted all remaining characters, so I think you need to hear about my mini-story line. Maria/Wall Shadow went home and got ready for supper, the Costas shared a boring evening, Maria went to bed early, then woke up and went to the Chicken Wing in the middle of the night. Later on, Lyra goes to Maria's, then Maria gets caught in costume and is forced to reveal her identity. The two go to adopt four kittens once the whole fiasco is over. Edit: I forgot Super Duper Broadway Man and Area 42! scream SDBM is seriously injured after the car accident at Channel Q, all results pending. Area 42 is actually being dismantled... And I guess Mayday's post ought to explain the rest.
That's kind of the Up-to-the-Delmor-Minute summary. I only missed one character who has been playing at THIS moment, but if you don't know what your own character is doing, God help you. EDIT: Maria/Lyra profile-y things shortened. By a lot. I got a little narrator-ish.
Did that help you?

You went way too far with the Lyra/Maria profile. Probably because you're so used to them. If you wanted that much detail on every mini plot line, you would ha ve went every single step of Louis's plot to kill Lucas, make it look accidental, and then get Austin on his side, the failure, and his trip home. He is back on his way to Stop&P now.
You would have explained the details that not only is Doctor Jones and Lex Lutheran the same person, but it is Don the Baptist that is still in captivity and spitting out these truths.
You would have explained that Super Duper Broadway Man is injured horribly due to his car accident underneath. He hasn't posted since, but I don't think it would be too hard to say that his condition is...less perfered.
You would have said that at Area 42 is being packed up and General Spanky is being dishonorably discharged.
And there's probably something I missed. The fact is, when you summarize, just try to put in all that is actually neccessary. I know how it feels to get proud of your own plot lines, but I learned slowly that even if you make them, they are no more important than any other plot line. But don't get that confused. They may not be any more important, yet they still aren't any less important. Don't work yourself up, but never sell yourself short.
Think of it as writing something about the life of Elvis. I'm fairly comfortable saying that you had no part in Elvis's life, which means it is going to be a lot easier to decide how much of a role everyone that did influence him played. However, if you were some sort of best friend to him telling the story, you may end up trying to make yourself more influential than you actually ever were.
Remember, Gatta, when I say 'you,' I mean people in general. Not just you. I'm that way as well. Try not to feel like I'm lecturing you. Just because I've been here longer doesn't make me any better. It isn't my place to point out faults. I just saw it as any average person's mistake (again, myself included).

You know, now I want to find that!

Listen, Gatta, if you were Elvis' best friend, I'd let you throw in all the bullshit about yourself that you wanted to when describing his life.
I mean, who am I to argue with Elvis's best friend, that's so awesome!

sweatdrop I had really missed some of those. But yeah, I'm so used to character narratives. It's one of those writers' problems, you get way too used to it. I suppose I SHOULD make it 1-2 sentences. >.< Damn this writers habit!
Oh, and Toshimi... That story's way better off lost.
Way too much JM FANGIRLINESS!
scream
-Going off to change the overlong summary- I repeat, I'm way too used to writing. But LosI's too cool not to make sacrifices for.
And I know that the you is a GENERAL you. It just happens to be in a comment directed at me.
Trust me, I'm very used to general yous. I use them too much too.

I need to say, the creation of The DIPSHIT by Doctor Clean was amazing. I'd try to make guesses at what it was for, but I already know.

Toshimi, I don't mind that you used my NPCs, they're NPCs after all, but I do have one request: please PM or IM or somehow contact me so that I can give you a bit better of an idea of how the character would react to such an event.
Since they ARE NPCs (Touch Maria and die a most painful death though...), I'll let you (any of you all) use them for minor roles on the condition that if you're unsure about their reactions, that you ask me how they'd react. And yes, I'd be honest even if it shoves my character into hell... I did create the characters, after all... --- By the way, Toshimi, I have a plan for an old roleplaying joke of ours to make it in here...
Maybe some book or something on Q. Yes, Q. (*laughs loudly, remembering one particular incident with an algebra teacher, a pop star, Flame, a bottle of hot sauce, and Q*)
You all ought to like the joke, basically Q's a rather pathetic hero who can only use 'Q'-related weaponry (The grappling hook never worked, lol...). The joke ought to be pretty funny in a cameo comic book appearance.

hehe! Q! That was pretty funny! Even when someone suggested another idea for the grappling hook. She never changed it... so are you doing something that has to d with Q's? o.0
Anyway, I'm glad you don't mind!
Also you guys can be my cameos though. Just do the same as Gatta and PM me or something first. Although I should have dopne that yesterday. Damn my impatientness!!!
(I was in a very bad mood yesterday and I became very impatient about everything...)

And it's okay, you did a decent roleplay of her, the only comment I have is to make her a bit more nosy... I think she would be a bit more 'Well, what's she doing? More details, please...'

In improvisation, the first rule is Never say "no," never contradict the other player.
At least, that is,when you're beginning; more experienced actors will be able to say "no", in order to improvise an argument, but they will never correct someone else to the point of making a scene less believable.
In roleplaying, this is a good idea to keep in mind, and a very difficult one to actually implement to its full capacity, since we all tend to have different set plans as to what needs to happen next. I would beg you all to try not to let these plans define you, to loosen your hold on the certainty with which you enter a situation. Unfortunately, to beg such would be hypocrisy, as I myself am guilty of planning in the most devious of degrees.
Nonetheless, its advice that needs to be imparted, on myself as much as anyone else here. Now, I must attempt to salvage my own ideas without calling those of others inccorrect in a manner which will make the scene unbelievable. Here's hoping we who are involved have the strength of character to do this.
Edit: (Ludo) I've corrected you to the point of view that this scene is more believable.
