[OOC] The Pit Stop

Yes! Race against the clock, not against each other. We will all be celebrating when you guys win. One across the finish line is very inspiring!

I feel like we need some sort of winners thread where we can go check out time spent and who's completed the game already, and we can congratulate them without it getting lost in the OOC here. Is that a decent suggestion, or am I just stuck in "I missed my game thread start because of lots of threads only I can see" headspace?

[lostcheerio]

I am keeping track of the start/finish times in a table in Race Headquarters (it's the second post), and will be adding more data there (# of posts, word count totals, who rolled what on the tables, etc) as more emerges. Also all the announcements are collected there (in the third post) for if they slide by in this OOC.

I think a Finish Line thread is a great idea though! Where we can spray champagne and do post-race interviews. Because what we need in this folder is at least three or four more threads, right? lol! I'll put it up when we get our first finishers.

[Aethera]

Note to self: actually read the threads that I'm supposed/allowed to before making comments.

Looking forward to the Finish Line thread! If I had a decent cheerleading gif I'd post it here, but perhaps that's a bit much. Good luck, stepanxol and bananabadger! Or somebody else's leg?Break a leg and all that!

Yeesh, looks like zev and I are off to a late start. Good news: we have settled on a team name:

"Retro-Futuristic, Film-Noir Fantasy Elves iinnn SPAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaace..."

Now we are just working out the details on our setting and then I think we'll be ready to go

[lostcheerio]

That’s awesome! I’m AFK right now but will set up your game thread when I get back. Did you just want to go ahead and start? Then I can “release” the pre-gens and tables and stuff.

I just posted #42. Really crazy things happened. Love and death, betrayal and sacrifice, horror and pulp

edit: only problem is, I can't NOT write Vulvarius instead of Larvarvus. It's really impossible for me

[Aethera]

Vulvarius, hmm? *Adds to list of things to ramble about in her game*

[Fillyjonk]

Science name: Vulvarius Larvaroram

[lostcheerio]

Ok! rhaiber and zevonian -- I have your team name. Is that also your game name?

Trying to figure out which genre you have chosen. Your player will see the characters and premise from your chosen genre. Your GM will also see settings, monsters, and the tables for rolling after post 12, 24, and 36. There is a steampunk one, a scifi one, and a fantasy one. It sounds like your team name is a mix of all three? Do you want to just be added to all three of the GM threads so you can see all three sets of info?

[stepanxol]

Guys: IT'S DONE

Not bad indeed... and some of the scenes even have a certain charm, if i can say so myself

[lostcheerio]

CONGRATULATIONS!

[AnotherDragoon]

I am astonished you absolute loons!

[stepanxol]

thanks, guys. it's been... weird
At risk of turning this into an oscar speech, I HAVE to say that banana did the most work, and of course cheerio and filly deserve all the praise for the great idea and (most of all) for the hard hours they must've put in to make this crazy thing a reality. And in three different genres, too!

Now, like my character, I want to see the other ones...
