While I think of it, isn't it a bit odd to not be posting up profiles where the other players can see them when Hivebent mainly revolves around the ridiculously complex relationships between all the participating trolls?

Well, I thought we'd get signups done first, then we'd all do our intro posts, then we'd start on the relationships. All we need to see each other's character sheets for is to work out who's had a relationship with whom in the past. And we could even wing that, if it comes to it!
But if we start with the second-person intro posts already, that'd probably discourage the people who're still joining.

But eh, that's just me.

Re-did it. Not in second person, because I'm lame, but this should be an improvement. Changed a couple of things around as well. If it's still bad, let me know.
Yeah, definitely an improvement.
Though your first one wasn't bad! I liked it, it was pretty good. It's just even better now.

Also, how're we gonna make the chatlogs? I like the idea of just having the conversations between our characters happen in real-time, without any (or much) pre-planning. If that happens, would we just use pesterchum? There's no trollian client, so we'd probably have to.

Bard?

Your name is BALLAA DEHIAN.

You are an avid fan of ILLUSTRATED SERIALIZED PERIODICALS, particularly those involving EXCEPTIONAL HEROIC TROLLS OF VARYING SPECIAL ABILITIES. Your all-time favorite, however, is the NOCTURNAL WINGEDRAT VIGILANTE, who has no extraodinary powers beyond his own WILL, INGENUITY, AND PREPAREDNESS. So much do you look up to this heroic troll that you strive everyday to be just like him, donning a HOMEMADE REPLICA COSTUME and training ever so hard to live up to your idol.

Sadly, you are not very good at it, as your ability to intimidate the SUPERSTITIOUS AND COWARDLY LOT leaves much to be desired, you are absolutely terrible at maintaining a SECRET IDENTITY, and you possess neither the VAST FORTUNE of the Vigilante's superior bloodcaste, the GENIUS INTELLECT, the many years of DISCIPLINED TRAINING, nor a MAJOR METROPOLITAN HIVEBLOCK in which to patrol. To make matters worse, you are of the rare breed of troll capable of braving the light of the HARSH ALTERNIAN SUN, and as a result you don't like to stay up too late otherwise you just feel groggy all day.

Still, the honing of your DETECTIVE SKILLS is coming along nicely and you boast an IMPRESSIVE HEARING ABILITY.

Your trolltag is vengefulRodentia and you speak in a... haltingly GRUFF and... INTENSE... goddamn bat-manner.

What will you do?

synkr0nized 11-02-2010 01:13 PM

I would probably suck anyway.
 
I'd post here saying I want to add a character and participate, as this is probably going to be a lot of fun, but I am heading out of town soon for a family-related issue. I do not expect to be around a computer enough to do my part/participate, and I'll be gone for a while.


You all had better be entertaining. I will be reading the thread when I get back.

Wizardcat 11-02-2010 01:40 PM

Actually, nevermind. I don't think I'll be able to properly contribute given circumstances. Just delete the PM I sent you, Bard.

I'll second synk's, "You all had better be entertaining."

You mean that fan-made chat client thingie you guys were talking about a while back? But we'd have to be online at the same time as other people in order to do that, as well as be on a computer that can download persterchum or however it is you access that thing.

That... uh... doesn't always work for me. I do a lot of rp-ing on my lunch break at work, and at home when I get off work at midnight. At work I'm on a computer that can't handle much more than the usual "reply to post" function. I won't even be able to upload and post images from there. And at home, I have like half an hour before work and however long I choose to stay up after work (usually midnight to two or three AM), there's rarely anybody around for me to talk to. So if we end up using that pesterchum thing, I'm afraid I'll be all alone.


I kinda think it'd be better to do the chatlogging like a normal RP, and if you want a full conversation chatlog like in MSPA, do it in PMs or arrange it with the other person beforehand in whatever way you want.

But I dunno.

Overcast 11-02-2010 02:09 PM

AP: I don't live on your...whim? I am, nobody's own. So fuck entertaining you. I have a life, to live...

Token 11-02-2010 02:16 PM

AH: Your ineptitude would astound me if I weren't a|_ready resigned to the inescapab|_e truth that you are a bu|_gegu|_ping hoofbeast fucker ^|^

Bard The 5th LW 11-02-2010 02:18 PM

Whats with the intro posts?

I never said you had to do those yet.:crossarms:

Doesn't seem any avid problems with Ahrha's but I'd like a CS.

Will try to start the thread today. And to everyone: try using you're blood color for typing. Maybe an odball here or there, but I'd like it minimal.

This is probably how we'd handle most conversations.

-- pandorasArchivist [PA] has begun trolling vengefulRodentia [VR] --

PA: [Talk talk talk so much!]
PA: [MORE TALKING]


Then wait, and later VR's player will post and be all like:

VR: [Response]
VR: [Responding so hard right now!]


I have a site that is very good for collaborative troll-logs as well, that I'll post later on. If you want to converse with future=selves, you can do so in memos. If it is important, try to run it by me first.

Edit: I am sad to hear that Sync/Wizzy.

Edit2: So anyone want to be the time dude?

I've had the Tennessee Tuxedo theme song stuck in my head ever since seeing this name on the trollian list, thank you very much.

I will now be forced to imagine mC's voice as Chumley the Walrus' every time they make a post. XD

Arcanum 11-02-2010 03:16 PM

Right, all caught up. Damn Homestuck is awesome. I'll start working on my CS soon. I was going to ask which titles have been taken so I don't accidentally pick something similar, but since you mentioned that Time is still available I will graciously volunteer for that (also because time travel is awesome and so is orchestrating stable, and possibly not-so-stable, time loops). So yeah, I'll try my best to get my CS finished by tonight, but I probably won't be able to post until Thursday night due to school.
