[OOC] Non-game specific matters

[ridin gaijin]

Thanks much guys--you're all sweethearts (even Phoenix, never mind what the other moderators say). Have a terrific Friday night, and I'll catch up over the weekend OK?

My flight leaves at 11:30 pm tonight and arrives at 5:50 am tomorrow...

That is so sick, and completely...wrong given the fact someone's grandma just died.

lol! I dont know, it may be sick and wrong because its a cartoon. Not sure but whatever floats your boat.

[ridin gaijin]

So the world knows:

I am totally easy to DM.

[ForceofGreed]

ok, so now that he DOESN'T want any, can we have everyone on the site constantly giving it to him to bug him?

{grin} People do. I can't control anyone's behavior; only create incentives. So I've edited the first post in the thread. :biggrin:

Lol, ya I'm with Ridin on the whole XP thing. I made the majority of my posts back inthe day when dinosaurs roamed the earth and RPXP didn't exist. I'm always seeing epole with 400 posts and 3000xp! I'm just like "Man, what am I doing wrong?" Then I realize that I'm a poor little sap and the only people who ever gave me rpxp are the people who give it at like 100xp a pop. So clearly only the older members like me. What am I getting at? I've no clue. I'm just going to walk away with my handful of xp and pretend like the dinosaurs are still roaming the earth.

Rebel.

P.S. It also may be because my spelling sucks >.<
P.S.S. I think that panther finally digested Shi'ssirax

What will Negative RPXP be rewarded with?

Negative RPXP will result in two consecutive, after distributing some and waiting a day, hits of positive RPXP!

Yeah, see, that I'm not so worried about. But my overall hope is that people will just eventually stop taking an interest in it, at least as the whole thing applies to me.

!! I STILL truck him out as the example of the just-plain-stone-unluckiest character I ever, ever played! That campaign was really fun while it lasted, I had a blast. So what's your activity level on the site these days, Reb...?

[Rebel-Soldier]

Co-DMing mostly. I like the behind the scenes writting mad amounts of pages of info just for someone else to use. I don't know, I fid it less demanding even though its more work 8)

That and on the 24th of april I'm going Sailing on a tallship for 2 and 1/2 weeks so I'm keeping my activity low until I get back 8D

Remember tho 40 pages of info i had on that game? Lol I refuse to let it go to waste, in fact it is now 50 pages long and the language we started I've been working on. Not too much, but every now and then I add a few words 8)

What's shacking with you, aside from the obvious?

[ridin gaijin]

Hey, good for you. Sailing on a tall ship, eh? Sounds like a cool getaway, I hope the weather's great and you have a fun time. Me, I'm just sort of slouching around...playing or guest-ing in maybe a dozen games, DMing none except these quickies, which there will be more of. That's about the right gameload for me now.

It's good you kept the info going on your game setting. Who knows when stuff like that will come in handy? At the very least you've got a homebrew world swamp for whenever you feel like running a long or short adventure.

[Rebel-Soldier]

Hah, yeah. A very BIG swamp.

Actually I just found out that the weather down in old new york there is terrible. I fear I might just end up doing deck duty on a mastless ship >.<

[ridin gaijin]

Had to edit the first post again, dammit.

Well, as long as people are having fun, that's why we're here, right? OK, so let's make it funner:

If you see my xp at a non-0 number, and you correctly calculate, based on your post count,* that by assigning me positive or negative xp you can make me hit exactly zero, then I will xp YOU (positively!). How's that...? And Admins can't play, since all I want from them is to keep my xp at 0, or better yet, have it not show at all.

*Last I saw, the amount of xp you give is ((your post count) / 100) +1. You can take away half that.

Poor Ridin...
