That definitely explains why I had not seen your post in the RP then. So I guess it is just the four us then until you can get through your writer's block. Lai posted, though it is not completed from what I can tell. When you get a minute Lai come in here and let us know what are you planning in your post. I need to know if I should be waiting to post until later or just move on if you are planning to interact with my character.

Well tomorrow for me is episode writing day, so I will not be doing much in terms of creativity on the RP. I am going to be closing the sign ups for the Tournament soon as well, so if there was anyone here that wanted to join the Tournament now is the time to do it before it is closed. At which point I will be getting together things to start up it up. Once that is off the ground, it will be one less thing on my mind, until the second round.

Holy crap, theres like a sudden surge of activity in here. Its 4AM in the morning and I just worked 12 hrs straight so my mind is a bit on the overwhelmed side at the moment. I quickly read over this whole topic to catch myself up, so if I missed something... don't shoot me.

Medival RP: Not to sound like a critic or anything, but give me a moment of your time: People start developing magic, which they don't understand and are shunned by the mass population who are afraid of these powers and wish to erradicate them off of 'their' planet. While most of those with newfangled powers want to peacefully co-exist with the rest of mankind, hell some would rather be 'normal', there are a select few who wish to exploit the powers and take revenge on those attempting to erradicate them. The epic struggle between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' can only lead to bloodshed on both sides, the innocent caught in the crossfire. Will they find a way to live together? Will magic cover the whole world and forever change the human race as we know it? Or will those with power take over the world? It can become very predictable rather quickly. If you haven't seen the pattern yet... it sounds very much like X-Men.

In any case, there are ways to avoid it becoming rather boorish and predictable, but alas my brain is half asleep so all I can't suggest anything substantive at this point in time. One thing to keep in mind, you can have foreign influence in another way: Celestial bodies in space. Why say its some alien or god? I'd think it would be interesting to have cults and the like pop up that believe its aliens, etc... but realistically it could be a celestial body that is harming the earth. Theoretically, an object on the right trajectory and speed could enter into an orbit around a planet. That object could be emitting toxins that affect the planet. Notice I said orbit rather than smashing into the planet. The old 'asteroid smashing into the earth and corrupting the planet' bit was old before the FF:SW movie. The toxins would be similar to radioactive particles in that they have a bizzare effect on the body and the affects are not always equal. Heck it would be awesome if the particles, at high enough concentration would distort you so bad you died. Or if you want to go a more Stephen King route, you either are slowly/quickly being transformed by the particles or they will kill you eventually. Give me magic or give me death!

Just some random thoughts from my tired brain. Now onto the other RP. I dont recall saying that I would not participate in it but frankly I don't remember. It sounds interesting nonetheless and I will look into it more when I am more awake. I have been interested in RPing for some time... my brain is always thinking of story ideas, even at the most inconvienient times. Why haven't I ever started the other? I've changed the intro about 20X literally. I keep coming up with new ways to make it cooler. I should just post it already, but with these two starting up and the Tourney... I suppose I'll hold off posting it. XD
