I'm sorry, I've been having issues at home. We are having to get rid of our dog who we've had for almost 8 years, and this week is midterms, and I have been to upset and busy to think about Escapist RPing.
I swear I will have my sheet finished tomorrow.
I just have to write a description, and decide a gang alias.

OK. I was getting pretty grumpy with the lack of sheetage, which is holding up the RP.

Bit snappish, you seem to roll in short facts and rather basic sentences. PLus a few grammatical errors. If you put a bit more bulk into your writing, ease the flow somewhat, you'll be great. As it is you're in.
I have decided that for my own purposes, namely the good of the RP, ease of reading and common courtesy I will only allow RP posts with proper grammar. I'm not expecting people to spell everything right or type perfectly, but I'm expecting capitals, commas and basic grammar such as quotes and speech.
I will also expect a comparatively high level of detail in posts.
Thing like "He drew a knife and stabbed the guy, then stabbed another guy and then got in a car and then drove off". I want some detail in about individual occurrences. I don't expect emotions and entire essays coming into play, but when you add some description and a little originality to an RP post it makes a massive difference.
Xero Scythe: okay, but i assume that in character we can talk funny, so to keep in character?
Ah, so you can give 'er the ol' one-two punch, know what I mean? Eh? Know what I mean? Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge! Know what I mean? Say no more! A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat, say no more, say no more!
(Completely unrelated note: The Independent Film Channel has had a Monty Python marathon all week.)

I don't think i've laughed this much at a post. How i wish we had the independent Film channel in England *sob*
Sentinel10: When are we going to start this thing? I've been waiting for a week!
When Dastardos turns a character in.
And, on the same timeframe, when I reckon that the writing's going to be up to RP standards of yore. Back in my day, only about forty people actually RPed and that was about 20% of the site's population. Admittedly though, that made it much harder to get characters to play.

About Dastardos, he hasn't been online at all lately(the dog and the midterms) I'm not sure how long it will take him to get a sheet up. Just a bit of a heads up, perhaps he can just jump in a little later? I am fine waiting but everyone seems to be getting impatient.

I expect you're right. I'm planning a specific set-piece to start this off and a new character could be woven into it, but it would really have to happen relatively soon. Partway through would be OK, shit, near the end would be workable, but any character entering after the first section of the RP would require some explanation.

We could start him in hospital? Birras was looking for the opportunity to maim someone I think. Then all we really need for him to begin with is a name.

Err...Maybe I shouldn't be the one doing the maiming, considering I would most likely leave the person without vision or the ability to move in any way, shape or form.

That could be why he's not there at the start. We're waiting for them to legalise stem cell research.

Oh yeah? Bring it on biatch!
Maybe I'll just kill off some of ur dudes and ur base! Behold my mighty GM power, mere CoGM!
My chap is a hardcore fighter Birras. Your guy is just a bit weak and seedy if I'm honest.

Aha, but I know your weakness! You, like your alter-ego Haz-Man, haz no shoes! All I have to do I lay thumbtacks and Lego bricks around mah base, making it impossible for you to kill mah doods due to blinding pain.

B-b-but! Hazman has no shoes! And I think you'll find, equal opportunities man, that Cyclops does indeed have three legs and every one of them is swimming in size 12 boots!

Sentinel10: STOP STOP! This has gotten far too silly.
Now, no one appreciates a good joke like me....
[sorry, watching monty python too much as well. DAMN YOU IFC!!!]
Might I continue with my silliness?
ALBATROSS!
No No! Jokes must have structure. Set-ups, punchlines, that sort. None of this silliness.
Very well. A man who enjoys roleplaying walks into a bar. He recognizes his CoGM from a recent roleplay. The man gets his eye gouged out with a splintered pool cue. The CoGM says "This is what you get when you try to tamper with my silliness. Now is someone going to buy this bloody ALBATROSS?!?!"

I talked to Dastardos on MSN, he said he will not be submitting a sheet, I find it odd, and rather rude that he didnt tell you, but either way he said it is not happening.

I was informed, but it slipped my mind. I haven't been very active recently because of school and some interesting house guests of mine.
I have two reservations for a spot in the RP and one post that is to be continued.
I'll accept this sheet above me and only one other, the first reservation made.
Dastardos, you're in, and I apologise to the two guys who missed out.
