OOC-Chapter 1-The Beginning of the End-General Discussion

[Mr. Handy]

Yes, that's right.

[Raiko]

It looks like we've lost Dave, who hasn't logged in for well over a month. Raiko hasn't posted much here lately, but he is around, so he's probably still catching up on things. I'm about to update tonight, and I plan to keep doing so at least once or twice per week.

Yes I'm still around, just really struggling to post anywhere.

I'll do my very best to post again in the next day or two. I'm desperate to get Chapter One of Masks running though, which might take up most of my spare time for the next couple of days. Certainly don't wait around for me though - I'll resume posting as soon as I'm able, regardless of what situation my characters have gotten into.

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome back! I should have time to update tomorrow night, which may give you a chance to post before then.

[Dave Syrinx]

Hi guys! I´m still kicking, just having troubke posting. Damn that "I´ll do it tomorrow". Just want to say that I´ll check in and post. It is easy to get lost by the wayside and neglect getting back on the road. Great to see you guys are OK.
Ta!

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome back, Dave! I've been running your characters as NPCs, but they're yours again now once you're ready to post. Borderline also hasn't posted here in a while but is still around and posting in other games.

[Mr. Handy]

Is there some reason people haven't been posting? Since the last update almost a week ago, only one player has posted, and only for one character. Please post when you can. I'd like to update within two days, while I have time.

[Silver Priest]

I don't really have anything to add for Tish at the moment, though I'll try and say that from now on. And I did mean to respond to Sean but seem to have forgotten. Will correct that now.

[Mr. Handy]

Thank you. Please do post for Tisha as well. You should post for each character, even if you're not doing anything. I haven't advanced that thread because nobody has posted in it.

[Silver Priest]

Done, sorry about that. Just want you to know I'm really enjoying the game.

[Mr. Handy]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying it. I plan to update tomorrow regardless of whether or not anyone else posts. While things may seem relatively quiet now, they won't stay that way. The purpose of the last half hour or so was to get people acclimated to the game and give characters time to prepare for what's coming. We'll see how well everyone has used it soon enough.

[Mr. Handy]

There's a rather messy combat taking place in some of the threads, so I'll hold off on updating other threads that are nearby but not involved in order to keep them all in sync.

[Silver Priest]

I was just thinking we were doing pretty good at keeping all the characters alive, but I suspect that's due to change soon.

[Mr. Handy]

Yeah, I've been amazed that none of the characters have died yet, and it's not for lack of danger. You're right, that probably will change soon.

I hope its ok for me to do a practice roll here, I had a problem the first time and ended up getting a double result, and my last roll is not showing for me, so I want to type out the code as per the instructions in the orientation forum one more time.

Test Roll,[dice]0[/dice]

[Leonulf]

Hmm weird, that worked fine but in the IC thread it says

Code: Select all

[dice]0[/dice]

.
Last time I edited it and type 1d100 but then it generated 2 rolls all of a sudden - this is on the submited post not a preview as well.

[Mr. Handy]

I don't know what happened when you rolled the first time, but you did it right above. You can try editing the 0 in your post into 1d100 this time, which should work okay.

[Leonulf]

I have done that now, it did make a double roll though, its weird as its doing two rolls the first one must have been valid code again. Strange as it works here, I am sure its a glitch as I did no different to my test post in this thread. I will log out and log back in next time I need to do one in case that makes a difference.

[Starspawn338]

I had that problem in the beginning but now I just put in the "[dice](1d100)[/dice]' (parentheses excluded) and hit submit and then look at the number and go back to "edit" my actions based upon whether I succeeded or not. If you try to preview your message before submitting, it places a 0 or 1 or 2 in the "[dice]0[/dice]" code like this to reflect it but as soon as you submit, the 0 or 1 or 2 becomes the actual roll (like it's doing on this post).

[Mr. Handy]

I'm back from the convention, though I'm still getting caught up and don't have time to update. I hope I will during the week at some point, but it's going to be a while.

We do have new players coming to join us.
