| This little newspaper-format announcement list was created for three reasons. 1-I'm bored. 2-It's an aniversary of something relating to the RPG. 3. I like newspapers and information and stuffity stuff. Therefore, If you think it's a good idea to try to keep making these brief 'news articles', then please say so. Or reply in this thread in general-FD is communications. |
1 Year Anniversary of FD
On Dec 3, 2006, we officially ending Deciding Factors, which is Part 2 of this RPG series. The transfer was a little bumpy due to ‘finals season’, and people updating their profiles before posting at FD. In addition, members began making new characters as Lerkurlians, in preparation of the very large new dimension we were going to. Member activity was still encouraged, along with multiple OOCs.
((I need to make an official timeline of the RPG…))
Welcome New Members!
Within this last month, Ashengard and TK have joined FD. We are currently helping them to make their characters, and hopefully will find the perfect place for them in the game to fit in with other members and characters that suit them. Therefore, older members should cooperate and help as much as you can.
Similarly, I suspect that as Kyle is more than likely not to return to FD. He was last seen online June 6, 2006, and had conspired with me and Jesse the night before. Therefore, a reminder to other members-if you suspect that you will not be able to RP anymore, please find a way to communicate this with us.
Return of Xmas OOC as Songs
12 Days of FDness?
A new type of OOC has popped up in spirit of the holidays. Members work together to modify standard Christmas songs into FD versions of them. Incorporating music is very rare in FD itself, although OOCs are not. Two years ago, a Xmas party themed OOC was created at DF, with varying success. It was also the first OOC to incorporate out-of-continuity Rping. The OOC game that would be best classified as first would be the What If Game, which is slowly continued at FD but in multiple forums.
Resurrection of Sprites
I know my progress in Spriting has been excessively slow. New members may not even know what I mean by a sprite (a small computer-created image of characters, based on the sprites from the Pokemon GBA games).
However, I’m trying on reviving my work on sprites. When Pokemon Pearl and Diamond came out in Japan, I found that while the sprites are in the same style as the GBA sprites, they are larger than the normal sprites by about a head, making it difficult to use the complete sprite (using portions of a sprite should be okay though). For my KH campaign, I’ve been creating sprites to print out and use as miniatures. Today, I’ve rearranged the work space on Paint so I can see both the current character sprites and the Pokemon Sprites, so I don’t have to flip between programs and documents.
All together, I should be able to get serious work on sprites done soon. Therefore, please, Post requests and suggestions for your sprites
The Changing State of Shayde
It was first heard during March 2006 that due to busyness, Shayde had to quit FD. He chose a replacement, Seuss, but he was also too busy to completely involve himself in the game. However, he returned in June and began initiating his conspiracies. However, once again in August, he had to leave, but distributed his characters among the members involved in his conspiracies to ensure they were carried out.
Recently, due to severe inactivity and subtle signs of member tension and fighting, Shayde has rejoined, taking back only some of his characters. He remains still relatively busy, but is more available on the IM.
Out-of-Date Info
I’ve come to notice that as our disorganized information for FD ages, it has become less member-friendly, creating complications for helping new members, or even general reference and research. We are working on improving this, and in the DF member forum, I’ve listed various projects.
If you need explanations for any sort of information, please ask in posts, PMs, or IMs. Thanks.
Return of Anime
A year ago in DF, we realized that there may be times where we need to RP some of the Anime characters, so we allowed members to chose which ones they wanted to play the most. Recently, the realization that the newer FD members should be allowed this same opportunity has resulted in the reposting of the Anime Character Claim List. There are no active plans now to bring in these characters, but this is primarily left to the RPer and situations in-game.
Attempts at Revival of RPing
Once again, I apologize for my lack of activity in September and October. I am very glad that everyone is still here, and even new people are joining. However, signs of this delayed activity are still evident. Therefore, I’ve created a brief list of current active threads and the locations, with links.
I wonder, in the future, would it be a good idea to maintain a list like this, and possibly include active RPers and/or characters, or current plot? However, I tend to be too busy for such a project so it would have to be another member’s responsibility (potentially with rewards)
