Ptesan-Wi Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 For a whole slew of reasons - #1 being lack of free time - I'm going to be sticking it out in 2018, rather than kicking off new or re-imagined characters in the re-boot forums.If other folks want to keep this going, give a shout of some sort; I'm up for collaborative stories with Ptesan-Wi, Sandcaster, and/or The Crusader (and, if you want to do the alternate-universe thing, with Timeslip as well).

Long Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well of course I'm still playin in 2018, and 2010, just haven't had the inspiration lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Rat Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I may just do it too. I have had WR sitting in Chrysalis for 6+ months, and to just end it in favor of another forum is heart breaking. There was so much to write about in the intervening time, but doe to character integrity, I felt it necessary for him to leave for the intervening period. Se you guys in a couple of months.

Jager Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 For a variety of reasons (one being only a cast of three characters), I will be here with most of my people for the forseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weft Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm definitely sticking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have never played in 2018. I have 2 approved characters in 2008 but have not so much as posted yet so I may consider porting one.Main thing is there is a shit ton of history here. I was kinda looking forward to the reboot if only cuz I could get in on the ground floor of somfin' knowImean? Im a bit intimidated to play in this here forum but maybe some o' y'all could share some wisdom. Drop some knowledge. Give a li'l understanding to a brother that might be a tad more welcoming for a n00b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well, it's quite easy. Post an intro thread, pop into chat a few times, and pretty soon we should be able to work something out interaction-wise. And read some old threads, Psetan-Wi's and Waki's in particular - they were responsible for the most recent shitload of history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seph OOC Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'll still use 2018 to tell stories with ronin and Machina, I'll just do so with about the same frequency I do now. Which is to say, not a whole fucking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Rat Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If you play a Terat, White Rat needs a friend. He's a Harvester, so you might be teased if you look too human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have a neat idea for a Terat. Maybe two. Im just not sure how buff I should make them since there are NO guifdlines here and even I can agree that some of the sheets floating around are just rediculous... Whats a good level to start at? 75 NPs? 100? More? Less? Some guidlines for chargen would help as for how to fit in well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Rat Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Whatever floats your boat. I started Whitie with 50 NP's, and gave him 1 xp every week that I posted. I also gave him 3 xp upon completion of a fiction. Go balls out if you want, I always found it more exciting to grow into power than have it created from the start. Also, no Q6 to start, you have to have played awhile.You have time. The sociopathic madman has been in Chrysalis for 7 months, and he has about two left. I need to check exactly when that will be. I had him down for 42 weeks. I started him with 7 taint. He has as many aberrations as someone with 12 taint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 All my characters are 70 NP or under. They increase when I randomly feel like giving them a few more NP. Which hasn't occured yet.Edit: with the notable exception of Sleepy River. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Velvet's first fic (and official IC post!) was on 14 March, 2006. She started with 96NP, and I honestly could not convince myself, in all of the time I've written for her, that any sort of increase was necessary. I wish I'd started her out differently, but I'll probably still write with her from time to time in the 2018 section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 What are those things you would have done differently? Your hindsight sounds very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 For starters, that I'd not caved to the (perceived) pressure of using such a high NP build. As I've said elsewhere, I can count on my hands the number of times her powers were actually used, because anything short of Planck Scaling was all but laughable with many of the people in that setting. (That's a bit of an exaggeration, but not much.) I would also have spent more time thinking about/developing a couple of her fictions (one, notably, is nothing but angst presented in a very un-Velvety way) to make them more satisfying to me in terms of how she developed as a "person," and to readers in terms of small and large story arcs.I would also have put forth more effort to complete co-op fics which were stumbling or slow, because some of them would have had lingering effects on Vv and her virtual life. (Procyon's date and Sean's mental trauma are both good examples.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Endeavor will be my primary focus for the near future dealing with 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptesan-Wi Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 As I'm finding myself with incredibly limited free time, and as 2018 has effectively dried up, I'm moving my activities over to the Middle Children of History chronicle (which has the advantage of being able to keep my established history for PW pretty nicely intact).Goodbye, N!Prime 2018.

The White Rat Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I was hoping to write WR's emergence from chrysalis and start reposting with him. Alas, between the PbP games and other things, I have not had any motivation left. I hope to get it done eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
