You know how everyone hates those ***** that come into an app thread just to say this RPG is not their cup of tea?

Well, I'm one of those!

Not my cup of tea, LOLZ!!111

[SenseiofCheese]

We all know your cups of tea have semen in them, so we're very happy we're not one of them. :cmad:

This game has something in common with exercise equipment. Who knew?!

[absonic93]

so would players make up their own character? or play a character from the show?

Self-created. Characters. Are. Allowed. :up:

[NamesAreUseless]

This RPG is going to rule! :D

By the way, I'm working on my application for Boone. I think it'd be awesome if someone picked up Locke (Boone is 100x cooler with Locke :up:).

I'm not that fat. I could lose about 10 pounds.

The game still has to be approved before folks can start posting their character applications. And, since Twy's been scarce and MB is a ghost, that'll be pretty difficult.

Yeah I know, just getting a head start ;)

Excellante, dude. My personal interest lies with jack.

well i didn't want to read the spoiler tag cause it might have given something away :woot:

[Matt Murdock]

lol.

'sok, man. :up:

[Sentry2005]

Yo, would love to get involved if that's cool? This would provide the perfect outlet for writing as I never seem to have a motivation... playing with the lost universe in a small way is motivation :D

[Catman_prb]

I'm in.

[Mercy]

Can't wait :up:

[Gallagher]

I'd just like to express my interest in Noel Gallagh- Uh, I mean Charlie before I dissapear for a month. :up:

[Electro UK]

I'll be the black smoke.

YEAH!!! F--- YOU CHARACTERS THE WRITERS GOT BORED OF!! F---. YOU.

I'll be the giant vaccuum that sucks you up.

GG n00b! :o

[Sentry2005]

OK, I can't decide if i want to play Desmond or Daniel. Suggestions? I mean, this begs me to ask what is overpower in the RPG... Daniel probably is as he knows so mch about the Dharma Intiative... but then again I don't, so that's going to be tough to role play.

Screw this, I want first dibs on Desmond :D

We're starting at the time of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. Perhaps, if one of the original castaways from the central section of the fuselage could sustain you till Desmond is found, that might be a wiser choice. It's up to you though.

[Sentry2005]

Yeah, that sounds fine; I could just use a made up character, or (and i'm not sure how useful this is)... I could totally be Boone up til then. But if Boone's been called, then I'll think of something else.

We're gonna deviate from the show right? I'm assuming it'll basically play with solid facts about the Island and anything pre-crash is established, and from that point on its up to us... that about right? (i.e. just because the Losties found Desmond at the beginning of season 2, we might find him earlier, or even later, dependent on when we find the swan.)

Darn right he's been called! Don't even think of laying a finger on him :o (even though dibs don't count ...)

I'd agree that Desmond might not be a great choice to start. You'd pretty much be stuck doing solo monologues until we find you. Well, unless Desmond left the hatch himself real early ... which actually COULD work depending on how you played it out. Actually I think it might be an interesting twist if the survivors discovered the hatch much sooner then on the show :up:

[Sentry2005]

Well, if it gets accepted, I'd be more than happy to play solo Desmond, quietly going insane by himself as he gets used to living with out Kalvin after murdering him in self defense...

Not that i'm that inclined or anything *shifty eyes*

[SenseiofCheese]

So, as of right now, we have 9 interested players. I have a hard time believing we'll have to get approval from twy, since she hasn't been around in forever. So, MB, whattya say?

[Catman_prb]

His internet's dead isn't it?

[absonic93]

well that's a downer

[SenseiofCheese]

And, like, totally unfair. What alternatives are there to two Mods who are down for the count?

Edit: Hell, if we've got the players, and both people who have the power to approve us are away for the foreseeable future, can't we just start up?

[Catman_prb]

You mean...rebel against the system? :wow:

Sensei, you're my hero :heart:

In the event of both "RPG Mods" going missing. I am to ascend to the ranks of dicta- I mean, RPG Mod. :O

[Batman]

No, you're not. I'll elect a new RPG judge (or judges) when I can get on full time.

As for this application, go for it. You have my full approval. But out of a mixed feeling to the premise, I'd like to advise to the GM's to give the game serious concentration, because with a concept alone, I don't see this lasting. It'll take more bang for the players' buck, so you guys'll need to be dedicated to both keep people interested and keep the game from getting stale.

Best of luck to ya'z and godspeed, gentlemen.

[Byrd Man]

No, you're not. I'll elect a new RPG judge (or judges) when I can get on full time.

I'm staging a coup, mofo! :cmad:

[Batman]

...What, is this the fifth one this month?

[Byrd Man]

Fourth one, that last time wasn't really a coup, it was more a rigged election.
