Spoiler For "ONLY READ IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE END OF THE STORY (AND I AM NOT KIDDING)":
How else are you supposed to defeat alien lobsters?

Make DJ be the Luke Skywalker, he reminds me of him.

I've got something else in mind for them both...

Hum... I wanna be someone too!
Hmm...I guess we'll need a boy scout to pop up at random.

Since this is going to be all text, it shouldn't be too hard for me--I'm a proliftic writer of fiction, have been since the dawn of time.

I'm sure Boy Scout will save the world from lobsters in the end!
FYI: Your character's name is Dominic Jones.

That's exactly what it means.
Can you be more specific with the [NAME]'s, then? Am I yunhua98's second in command, or Netham45's? I am part of LOPN.
Title: Re: The Axe Files RPG
Post by: holmes221b on December 20, 2010, 03:03:46 pm
You are Netham45's second-in-command (you can tell by the order in the list).
By the way, what do you mean by "I am part of LOPN"?

I'll put you on the waitlist, feerik. I don't know you well enough to be able to write you into the storyline just yet.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 21, 2010, 03:04:47 pm
Seems like an interesting project. I am curious in what group I would be tho x.x

I think Graph should be some sort of a king and happybobjr prince, but again, maybe you had something else in mind.

Right now, I'm thinking of making you a solider from New France. Why, yes, I am thinking of having time travel in this...

Alien lobsters have a complex social structure, which is remarkably simillar to the Indian caste system in some ways.

i want in on this!
still, i suppose it might not be easy for you as my activity dropped a bit right around when you joined... meh.

maybe i could be a sort of Statler and Waldorf-esque character who only appears every now and then to make condescending remarks?
Title: Re: The Axe Files RPG

Someone who sends someone a link of "the chipmunk song" instead of "Never gonna give you up"

But in game I can be a spy or something ;)  An elven spy, with no shirt and very long white hair and a knife for a weapon (lol one of trio and niko's characters)

well, i suppose a wait will allow for more time to read things on the forums and generally become more acquainted, thus resulting in a better end product, but still...

ima join in on the prodding XD

good luck with whatever it may be that is making you too busy for side-projects!
Title: Re: The Axe Files RPG
Post by: holmes221b on January 10, 2011, 08:17:21 am
It's not that I'm too busy to work on it, it's just that my writing muse wants to focus on writing humorous poetry, a webcomic about a female calculator programmer, and Star Trek fanfiction right now instead of the storyline for this RPG.

Still on hold, but I have the rough outline done, and it looks like the storyline will be too large to be programmed in TI-Basic. Anyone interested in coding from a flowchart next summer?

Wow O.o super necropost. And I missed this thread <_<
I might have time next summer but then, I can't look in future. Also I thought you stopped programming or so.

aeTIos: I changed my mind, I guess? I don't remember ever saying that I had stopped programming....

saintrunner: TI Basic was what I was originally planning to code it in.

By the way welcome back. I hope you stay for a while this time :D

Glad this is not dead. :) I think aeTIos said that because when someone vanishes from the forums all of a sudden, showing no more sign of life, it generally means that the person left due to losing interest in calc-related stuff or Omnimaga itself.
