Marblehead, I really wouldn't wait that much longer for all the original character makers. The reason why is because a lot of them have the new-person stank about them, and there's a pretty good chance they will just dissappear on us.

Its really sad if you make a judgement on someone because of thier post date. You know its comments like that which make people leave a board.

They have new-person stank because I recruited them from a different forum, so they had to sign up just for this game. Still, tomorrow morning the plot goes BOOM.

Hopefully.

Do I really have new person stank?

*sniff* It's a pleasing musk...

Well, new people that rp tend to just go up and disappear on us, so the whole stank thing is to refer to possible vanishers. But I try not too dicriminate (If I did I probably wouldn't even have joined the rp)

DOn't worry... if they vanish, I get to post their grisly death in-game, then hire some new people. :)

I meant no offense by the statement but the way you say it makes it sound that way.

Really its not the board, nor is that the general opinion of the frequent RPers, it's just history. You can't even begin to comprehend the amount of people that pop in to a signup with a join date that still says Today, post a character or sign-up (usually in really horrible, awful, mind-gouging eye-ripping anal-fisting syntax), and then disappear.

We've just sort of become jaded when it comes to new people. Of course, if you do stick around and post intelligibly you basically become an instant member of the cool crowd and people like you and your clothes are instantly cooler and all the [opposite gender]'s are asking you to the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance. I can see most of the 'new recruits' sticking around in that fashion.

Three letters, my friend: P D freakin' As.

130 years into the future, personal organizers would be more advanced than ever, allowing you to carry a media station, encyclopedia, checkbook balancer, etc. in your pocket. This will allow any knowledge required to be accessed easily.

Also, being from Wall Street and all, he could bargain with people for supplies well. Sound good?
