No worries. We're all just trying to work together and create an epic story here right? I expect others to criticize my work as well, in particular the flow, design, dialogue, and actions in my scenes.
Interesting, does that mean you live in the general vicinity of Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the western part of Indonesia? Either that of central Russia.
Ehm...
You won't believe how happy I was to come on this website and realize I had almost complete creative control over roleplay.
It's well worth the read Quintessa I assure you!
Who's Jack?
Do I need to link a theme song in that case?Who's Jack?
Also, it's good to hear people are enjoying this. I'm glad you decided to give it a read. How far did you get?
-
Also, if you check the link in my signature, you'll find that every character so far has his/her own theme song.
It's Ny's job to assign theme songs to players usually.
This bothered me a little because I'm a stickler when it comes to technicalities, but Trace only copies the opponent's ability, not moves, Astral.
You may, but so far it's really just been my pet project to try and get a feel for the characters and assign them songs. It seems most of the people here are pretty happy with what I came up with. I'll be thinking for Knox and Jasper and their Pokemon as well of course, but I need to get to know them better first. The better you portray your characters the easier and more accurately I can match a song to them.
Wow, I seriously do not remember a Jack, he must have been gone before he even made a real impression... Wait, was he the guy with the Gengar?
That's the one, owned a Gengar and I distinctly remember something about sea sickness....ah well.
I would expect nothing less. Though I might fight you on the point that often times the character you have in your head and the character you portray to others aren't necessarily the same person. So far I've had no complaints from anyone but myself thoughtif I feel you pick an unsuitable song I will be requesting you change it
That's fair enough but I'm kinda picky about such things so just don't be too surprised if I'm not happy with your first choice, but hey anything else I'll be chill aboutI would expect nothing less.

Might you be interested in joining us, Quintessa? I saw your post in The Region of Adanac and I must say, you have some potential. I found myself quite impressed by your sentence structure and wording, and frankly we need more female players in here. This is the last call before we close up shop, what do you say?

Yeah, no harm done. ^^ I was just a bit of a stickler.
I think this would be perfectly fine, Mozza. Less encounters for Astral to write with the characters bunched together, and it's awesome that you guys will have each other to interact it. It gets dull without any interaction with others, really. Fun fact, I also live in SEA, and I'm still waiting for those edits. I can hunt you down.I live in South East Asia ^.^ However if I delved deeper into where I lived...I'd have to kill you
Also, if @Quintessa is joining, @Jake Acker and I talked about having Knox and Jasper meet up with her character at some point (newbies unite!) so none of the new people have to be roleplaying by themselves. Is that alright?
You'd be glad to know that reading the entire roleplay is one of the criterias then. The others being creating a very detailed and in-depth profile for the character you're roleplaying as, the pokemon you will travel with, and its four moves. In your first post, we expect to see the activities of your character during the first day, how they arrived, what they did, and later, how they survived in the jungle on the first day, what pokemon they encountered (if any), and the character's nightmare. I saw you have great style in your writing already, but, make sure you can keep up with the length. Aside from that, you're golden.

I was secretly waiting for this comment.
No need to hunt me down! I've edited my post, I hope that it's better although I still feel a bit iffy about it. Also it's pretty great knowing that there's someone else who lives in the best part of Asia here.
Well, I've read through, and I'm so glad we let you in the roleplay, both of you. Bastille is just the most adorable creature splashing around in the water like that, and Jasper is just the best, all his dialogues are pure gold. This one especially is my favorite so far.
Nygenn made them!
Awesome, right? He's really spoiling us rotten here in DT, first giving our characters and character's pokemon their own theme songs, and then making us these coins. He'll probably make some for you too once he deems you worthy. Thanks for the praise Pen, I will try increase my level of commas and keep the posts coming!Well, I've read through, and I'm so glad we let you in the roleplay, both of you.

Both your grammars and sentence structures are great, and your vocabulary is extensive. The punctuation in both posts are very good (perhaps still needs a little work on your end, Jake, you don't use your commas enough), and overall, I'm quite happy.
Jake, though your post was quite short in length, I thoroughly enjoyed all your little detailing of the scenery; how the gravel crunches beneath Bastille's feet, the sunlight through the leaves, that little memory of Unova, and the revelation of the burn. We really learn lots about both Knox and Bastille here, and I love that.
Mozza, I'm very impressed with the way you detailed the first day (laughed quite often actually), you kept very well to the flow, but am quite underwhelmed by the amount you wrote for the second, as by now everyone should be well into 10 AM, though we could just assume Jasper slept in. You're also quite privy to details I notice, and your writing style is very unique. I'm quite fond of it actually. No problems there.
So, perhaps after two more posts for quality check, I'll stop hounding you two.

The answer is as soon as I can get my hands on good visual representation of your character. Since you decided to use an anime character for Jasper you should be pretty set. The other two will need to give me a bit more of description of their characters, or I need to get a better sense for them at least, and I'll choose something I deem appropriate much like the theme songs.
Glad to hear you like the coins though. It's always nice to have your toys appreciated. There's a link in my signature to the page where i'm keeping them online if you hadn't noticed that yet.
We inspire greatness in others.
I remember when Nova was timidly asking us how he could write longer and better entries, and no 3 posts later he's outdoing everyone. We really can't take any credit for it, since it's all his effort and enthusiasm, but I can't help but feel proud every time he posts.

That brings me to the final part of this post. If anyone is struggling with content or direction or how to have his character respond or what have you, feel free to ask. You can always ask here and probably expect multiple people to answer, or if you're okay with just my take on things feel free to start a conversation with me and I'll help you where I can.

And I was more or less going for my first post detailing the first day and my second day being detailed in the next post.It's a great story told by great writers, but if you're anything like me then the real reward is how it invites you to be a active participant in the events, and how it seems to push your writing to new heights.
