*huge cake gets wheeled in*

Happy birthday Dante!

*Somehow, we managed to coxe CJ into going inside of the cake*

ALL RUN FROM THE WHIP OF AUTHORITY!

Thank you everyone for your kind words... No, I have not been reborn, however much my birthday may have been on Easter...

Anyways. I have been brainstorming over the past one or two days, and so far I only see one way to deal with the problem of having so many people...

...That is, dictate the circumstances for everyone, then let you guys RP among yourselves and get into Bad Craziness(TM) until I feel there is a need to push the plot forward. E.g., let's say you;re all at someone's funeral. I'll set the scene, then you guys can talk, plot, cry, and sneak whoopee cushions under people until I arbitrarily decide that zombies rise from the earth. It's kinda like real life in that respect - nobody really explains anything to you IRL, you just get a batch of circumstances and people and then you have to live with it.

That way is is a variant how the original Casual RP handled itself. When Neverwhere vanished for inexplicable reasons, I was eventually forced to shape his world to my liking, and Tenjin, Mr.V, Gato and so on crafted their own storylines to eventually join into mine and LWM's. The only difference now is that my presence in the game is delocalized into multiple NPCs, and that I'm not really participating, though I'll have to play a coordinator of sorts.

Is this a good way of handling the HR problem? Just post your paragraphs in this thread. It's not a strict requirement, anyway, but it might be good to pass the time.

*CJ whips Dante like the Romans scourging Jesus in The Passion*

"Never... knew... pain.... felt so... gooood...."

How have I missed this sign up? Curse me not being around a lot... I want to sign up, if it's not too late... Since it looks like just a humorous one, I don't htink it would be too late.

And I just so happened to come into the RP after this post:

Weird. I guess I did come in with the cake. O_o *eye twitches*

Oh yes, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANTE!

We already have 16 (Would be 17, but Mr. Wind Up is a pussy) people, so one more won't hurt.



And again, it's just a day closer to dieing, yippee.

The irony isn't lost on us...

And Dante is Head GM, and he hasn't officially started it up yet, so go ahead and join.

EDIT: Hey look, it's IHMN, the bearer of good will and cheer!

Well, death is coming weither we like it or not, so what's the point in being pessimistic about it? You have two choices
1. Celebrate anyway for being alive, since it's a struggle for others to make it to their next birthday. Celebrate good health and friends.
2. Be pissy about it. Like one of those mean old men down the road who chase people away who try to be nice to them.

Well... there's always more choices, but I'll leave it at that. ^^

I will not be that one. I will own rifles and shotguns by then. No chasing here. Just sit on my pourch in a rocking chair.

Actually...unless you believe in Fate, your birthday isn't a day closer to death. It's more like with each passing day comes a greater chance of dying of natural causes in the days that are after, because the day before there was a greater amount of days that you could die in that you.

Hope that made sense.

PS - Hey...I know my mind's in the gutter right now, but I can't help but wonder what a girl covered in birthday cake would taste like.

Everyday is a day closer to death. Your birthday is no more obvious, but it is a bigger reminder.

Cake...

Wow, then your going to be the Uncles from Secondhand Lions.

Man - "Excuse me sir, I was wondering if -"
*BLAM*
*Man running in fear*


And seriously, it would just taste like cake. I don't care how far in the gutter your mind is, keep your common sense.
