It's up to a mod's discretion whether a sample is required or not. Generally speaking, veteran players who have been around for a long time and have consistently proven themselves to be good writers do not need to supply a sample anymore. Brand new players or those who haven't been around for awhile still need to provide a sample until more experience is gained. Also, if two or more players are applying for the same character a sample will be needed from each to help make a final decision regardless if said players are veterans or rookies.

Furthermore, please use the "Chatterbox" or "Questions about the RPG thread" to ask questions in the future. The Applications thread is only for apps. Thanks.

Ok sorry for posting in the wrong area lol. Thanks!

Things have been rather hectic as of late…even more so than usual. December proved to be very heavy work-wise. I’m the main sub for three programs and I was working my ass off nearly every week covering.

When January came around I thought, “Great! I get time to relax and recover.” WRONG! Subbing did not dry up like I had expected.

With the uptake in work I’ve also been studying for my Group Fitness Certification exam which is on February 6th. I’ve also had to take some time to become certified in CPR.

With all of that I’ve also been practicing 2 or more hours a day for our new launches all happening this coming week.

But don’t fret! I’ve had a couple of posts in the works (they’re not done but they are started) that I’m hoping to get up ASAP. *fingers crossed*

Ok awesome! Can't wait to see!

Just a heads up to everyone. I've shortened and modified the second part of my last Razorclaw post in the Thanatos thread in order to simplify things a bit. The content I took out should appear in a future post. Just FYI.

Btw Sid and Smokey, I have had an application for a new character up for almost a week now on the applications thread. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=44548&p=1761743#p1761743 Just a reminder.

RPG Menasor's long-awaited concept pic:



Still uncolored and such but it's getting there.

Be sure to check out the forum topic I made for RPG fan-art and concept art! I am not planning on cluttering up this thread for too long, just long enough for people to check out the RPG art thread! Remember, this art thread is not exclusively MY thread, so anyone can post their RPG art there!

So, okay, things are now super hectic as of late (again). I took my exam last week but I won't have any new on the results for 2 to 3 weeks. So I'm anxious about that.

To the meat of the matter, one of the instructors was involved in a head-on collision this past Tuesdsay. She made it out with just two broken ribs a fractured wrist a bad laceration and some bruises. But that just means she won't be able to teach anything for the foreseeable future. I'll be covering 4 of her classes. On top of my own I'll be teaching 7 classes a week for lord knows how long. A couple of those days I'll be teaching two or three classes a day so that means I'll be worn out both physically and mentally.

Now, just as an FYI I have posts written up for 11 of my characters and all I just need to do is find the time to actually sit down and type the hand-written things up on my lappy. Maybe expect one or two tonight but once all of them are up it'll be a bit before I can respond again.

Sure! Thanks for the heads up!

Figure I may as well try my hand at RP here, as well; so I'll probably pick up Side Burn as a first character.

EDIT: Oops, made a newbie mistake. My bad! Posting the sample post where it's appropriate.

It was brought to my attention that Bludgeon is listed as available on the roster list. He is, most certainly, not avaialble, and I'd like to avoid another incident like I had with Perceptor being accidently taken away from me, so if you could just smoosh the Metallikato Master down to taken, I'd love it.

Perceptor was not accidentally taken away from you. You dropped out of the game for what ended up being a short period of time and thus your canon characters were made available during that period. Perceptor was then applied for by another player and approved.

As for Bludgeon, he has been moved to the appropriate area on the roster list.

Smokey... splitting hairs a bit, but I had already spoken to you about returning when it all happened.. so, from my perspective it looked like an accident.

Maybe a little barb-like, sorry, you know me, I'm like that.

I'm not splitting hairs at all. You officially quit the RPG on July 13th of last year. Perceptor was applied for by another player on the 14th and then approved on the 15th. You didn't ask me if you could return until the 19th. You then officially returned on July 24th when you said you would start posting for your characters again soon except for Perceptor and you even said he had a better home. So, I don't see how you thought he was accidentally taken from you when you knew back then that wasn't the case.

I applied for Astrotrain before since he was not in the taken characters list, even though he had been taken for a little while. Even without weird incidences like that it's hard sometimes to know whether or not they're available.

Just FYI. Hook is now available for application, and the roster list has been updated accordingly.

Since I have 3 characters now, I can't apply for him. (Sad face)

As long as us you stay regular with the 3 you have for a while, you can eventually apply for more.

I think I need to confess something...

When I am nervous, when I feel threatened, when I feel stress, I put up a shell around me and deal with the world in very acidic responses. Sometimes they're jokes, sometimes little jabs and barbs that aren't really meant to be, but it’s my way of telling you I may feel hurt by something, but it’s actually a little thing that can be moved beyond quite easily.

Is it effective? Not always. And I do try to handle this other ways, but I’m not very good at that. Bludgeon being listed as available even though I had been approved for him 4 months prior kind of was a stressy thing.

I feel like I upset Smokey on Friday, which wasn't my intention. I did PM him and apologize because it wasn't my intention. I’m sorry, I know I said I wouldn't speak of it publicly but stuff happened over the weekend that I didn't expect. *looks to Emperor Phaze*

The comment about Percy was one of those barbs. This is mostly because I swear, even though time stamps prove me wrong, it happened in a chronologically different order (we’re blaming time stamp pixies here, they changed things).

For me it was a way to put an end to a grumble (on the mad scale, grumble is the lowest and most easily put aside), it may not have been for Smokey. It ended up I rattled some cages, I guess it can be said intentionally… but I’m used to cages be rattled in a benign way… and not everyone feels that way. So I decided it needed a public apology too.

I misstep a lot around here, I get that. I guess it’s the old story of text based mediums. With the Emperor around you're likely to see more of me as well (mostly because when I had Bludgeon, i could move so fast I was in danger of getting too far ahead, so since between some life things and all that, I made point to slow down with Bludgeon’s crew) so I really want to make sure every one understands that I didn't mean to offend, seriously didn’t, I'd use swear words if that were the case

CtrlFrequency has let Astrotrain throw a punch at either Vertigo or Feedback. The punch will land, she's gonna decide how hard.

Feedback says "not in the face!"

Would someone switch Bludgeon's ownership back to Phaze on the taken/available list?

I am dying to apply for Cliffjumper. Requesting permission.

Just FYI. Punch/Counterpunch, Snarler, Overkill, Divebomb, Snarl, Swindle, Beachcomber and Blades are now available for application. The roster list has been updated accordingly.

Where is Cliffjumper currently located in the RPG?
