We'll definintely have to take some measures in ensuring some kind of continuity from segment to segment. Great fun though the SS Craven game is, there's been a lot of lapses in logic regarding the plot and characters.
This is something we'll have to work on for the next game. |

Well I enjoyed the S.S.Craven trip, despite dying, so if there's any room in one of the groups I'm in. Unless I get shunned and spend the time wandering alone in the barren landscapes of this once great planet, forever fearing the day I come across a crazed animal with only a pointy stick to defend myself. |

OK, sounds like a plan. I'm sure there can be some killer animals wanering the barren landscape anyway.
I'm in, damnit!
Please keep me the Hell away from NYC though...I'm not a big fan of the big city... |

Count me in. Do we follow the same guidelines of writing characterization? |

This sounds fantastic...like a "Close Encounters" back in the day Everyone was so compelled to be at that mountain... I would also like to take part in this...but as Orange mentioned, I do want to ensure that there is room for others who would like to play that haven't been involved before....so I'm in for now, but will happily bow for another to have a chance to play. This gives me "Shiva"....rs |

I love words and the fact that when the page is blank...there's nothing there until words are formulated in my brain. Those thoughts...rushing through my viens and out my finger tips, find "life" on the page.
When people and places come to life...that to me is exciting.
MBCgirl =) My finger nails should look nice while I type - Red works! |

Sounds like a great idea.
From the 16th of Dec. How long will it be on for? As I'll be going away for christmas to see the family. I'm not sure if I'll have internet access from where I'm going.
For me, I wonder what animal will spring to mind? |

I think it will be one primary "animal being" that has the ability to draw us to it...but it will effect all creatures...and some of those intentions will be deadly... I'm probably a goof...but that's sort of what I understood. Cornetto will fill us in...you are right though...it will be hard for some during the holidays. ~m~ |

Do you think it will be a problem to have this over the holidays? I thought it would give people more time. I can always schedule this a week earlier if people want - let me know.
Anyway, in response to Gabe, you won't be doing an introduction this time - just background. Here is what I have on character background.
Character backgrounds should be a paragraph or two about your character. It should provide enough information about your character to assist anyone introducing them or writing for them.
Your character should have a weakness or fear that they will overcome during the course of the story or your character should have some other kind of arc. This arc should be apparent in your background. You don’t have to say exactly what the arc is just hinting at it should be sufficient.
Your character will also need to take a stance on the creature, either kill or worship, even if they are unsure at the start. You should mention their stance in your background no matter what it is. You are welcome to work with other authors to develop relationships with other characters and you can mention these relationships in your background but please leave room for some reveals. However, since most people would not have known each other before they banded into tribes it is not likely that you want that much of a relationship with other characters, also you won’t be certain who is in your character’s tribe until the start of the game. |

From the 24th of December, I'll definitely be gone. Will bring the laptop to find an internet cafe. From mid-Jan I'll be fine. |

I'd say that anything between 12/19-1/2 will be an issue for most people. Not sure what my Holiday plans will be looking like, but chances are slim that I'll be able to do much writing during that time.
The sooner we can get started, the better for me at least. |

Me too MBCgirl. I will make plans according to what is presented here and as it works with other people's schedules. The only thing I'm battling with besides time is illness, but God willing, I'm with you- name the time and I will be there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vY1peG8gHQBig smiles!!! Sandra |
