Hey George and Yohn,

Another two excellent characters!    

Innocence kind of gave me the shivers.


The name holds a beautiful paradox inside it. Maybe we can learn how she was given this name?

While we are creating characters, I think it might be a good time to also come up with the tribe names.   The tribe name will be used for tracking and you will not be referred to in your scene.  There will be three tribes.  Any suggestions.

A bit more on how tribes will be used.

The first three characters will each start at one of the three locations - they will also pick the starting members of their tribe.   When it is your turn, you will only be able to write about your tribe (unless otherwise specified).   This means you only have to focus on storyline of a few characters.   When you take your kill you will take it from your tribe (again unless otherwise specified).  This should isolate the game into manageable stories.

Not to be a downer, but I think the tribe names should be simple such as naming the tribes after the three cities that Michael mentioned before.  For example, I think one location Michael brought up was New York. Maybe that three person group can be called the New Yorkers.

I'm still down in giving a different name but simplicity is key.

This leads me to another part of the problem: where are the three locations that Michael mentioned? lol. I looked in this thread and at the collaborative/ suggestive idea thread and I can't find it.

The possible starting places are New York, New York,  Ottawa, Canada and Detroit, Michigan.

And I don't think you are being a downer at all - Using the starting places as tribe names is an excellent suggestion and I think we'll go with it.  Problem solved.


Cheers.

A reminder that there is only five days left to enter a character to play.

Or change your existing character.

Some bad news I am afraid...


Quoted Text

New York Times - Wednesday 26th Nov 2008

Australian tourist found mauled to death in lion cage at Central Park Zoo

The body of Hugh Jarse, a 29 year old Australian national was removed from the lion cage at Central Park Zoo this morning and taken to the city morgue where it is believed his brother, Bruce Jarse, 31, is on his way from Australia to identify the remains and take the body home.

It is not yet clear how or why Mr Jarse happened to be in the lion cage last night, but friends he was staying with said he has seemed depressed since arriving in the City from Las Vegas four days ago and may have been trying to take his own life.

Sheila Barnes, an Aussie living and working in New York told the Times that Mr Jarse had gone to Las Vegas to marry a girl he had met online. It turned out however that the girl he had met was actually a 57 year old stripper with a drug problem. Since his arrival in New York he seemed to be suffering from depression and according to Barnes had been plauged by nightmares, often waking his housemates up with screams in the middle of the night.

His brother Bruce, a nightclub bouncer from Sydney, is expected to arrive in the city within the next day or two.

There's always going to be another writing exercise in the future, Nik. Hope everything gets settled.

I was thinking of dropping out too as work is busy for me this time of year but I gather there aren't that many of us playing right, so I guess I should stick with it lol. Will we get a few days again to write our turn Michael?

Yes Alffy, This game will concentrate a bit more on quality rather than speed.  Also, you won't be dealing with that many characters at one time so you only really have to pay attention to what is going on with your tribe.
