Given that the events set to be in my character's first RP sample are objectively in the past, I'm finding writing it in present tense rather difficult. Also with the whole "your character doesn't remember this stuff and won't remember that they've forgotten it, but you must write about it anyway!" thing. Bah.

Edit: I just don't think I can do this. I'd love to play the game, because this is a concept I've never quite had the chance to put down on paper and because it's a sweet setting, but I just can't handle the tense. If it takes me this long to just create a simple background, I don't think I could handle it in a game. The last thing I want to do is slow everything down.

Have fun.

I think I'm going to withdraw my application after all. I don't have the time to do the game justice.

Lastly, I need a new last name. I don't want it to be so... obviously not arabic. I'm thinking I may simply leave the last name as nothing, and have it exposed at an opportune moment.
If they walk in and you both surprise each other, then yes, a higher initiative would give you the jump on them. Also, no last name is fine. This is Arabic themed but it's very far from being realistic.

As I told another player, it only takes a little practice. But if you find it a little annoying then I'm glad I made that a part of the requirements for posting so that everyone gets a taste for it.

I know how hard it is to make an application with so many ideas and so many other people applying. You always want that 'right' idea that's also unique. I'll keep your slots open incase you change your mind in the last moment.

24.5 hours away, everyone!

Any feedback or concerns about my app? I see you saw it as I made it to the bottom of the table! Thanks.

As we come down the home stretch to the deadline, I'd like to say good luck to everyone. The game theme is so cool I wish we could all get in, but that can't be so. It's too bad, considering I've read the applications (at least the text that wasn't secreted) and each one, IMHO, shows real promise.

Still, PIG has been good enough to offer to create a Narrative Thread for this campaign, and I know I'll be taking advantage of it whether I get in the game or not. Some games are just plain fun to follow and read-along with. This game, however, won't have non-players feeling left on the sidelines. Together, we can make something special. Let's do it!

I was pleased with it! There is a sincerity and humbleness that I see in your character that I don't see in the other applications. It really grounded the character for me and made him more realistic. He seemed to have many challenges in life but always strived to come out on top. Also, I love the picture. We were talking about inspiration for the theme and movies or documentaries were mentioned. There are a variety of pictures in the apps but yours struck true.

You guys are not making this easy for me and then some new comers come along to toss it up again lol

Just a note. I was dead bent against doing this but I've narrowed down my pick to a choice few. I will be picking 5 players rather than 4.

Ooh, that's a lucky fifth player you've got there. I'm sure they'll be most pleased.
