Hi, sorry about posting :L Its my first post and I haven't gotten used to this forum and its rules, I'm reeeally sorry about it and I won't make the mistake again. I'd like to join

Name: Barry McGrath
Age: 28
Species: Black bull
Weapons: One large, gold handled, ironwood club. Large Iron studs in said club, designed for smashing, exactly like its owner, slow and strong.
Clothes: Long black cloak which covers all but the handle of the club on his back, a 'white', or once was in a past life, ruffled shirt along with black trousers.
Bio: Illegitimate son of a pirate, or a barman, or a tavern goer, or the dog outside for all he knew, his mother gave him up as soon as he could live on his own, at the age of six, his slow, ponderous nature didn't give him much of a chance as a thief, but he survived, through a combination of determination, a strong right hook, a resilience to grog and kicks, he survived, despite the odds. At the age of fifteen he was hired as muscle for a wannabe pirate, and was shown, like his employer, the error of his ways, "inducted" into a new crew he worked hard to actually start getting paid, and was on his way to first mate after saving his captains life, when it happened, a mutiny, on the ship, whilst all the pirates loyal to the captain were out getting drunk, the ship was past the horizon by morning, leaving him, and the other crew members stranded, and looking for a crew to join...

Hey, dont worry

I'm seriously laid back and you said sorry, and especially seeing as its your first post i understand

Anyway, your in! Enjoy yourself, though this is a serious RP i'm not a very serious person, so there arent a great number of rules here, other than having fun and being a pirate of course!

Anyway, hopefully i can reveal more about the storyline before Captain Black gets killed by a certain fox

... yeah im looking at you Spike

... but once i'm done with introducing the story, full on mutiny boys n' girls!

Oh god! I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I read the part about the seagull.

KittKat chunky~ · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2010, 02:31:38 PM »

Okay, by the way guys... can nobody kill Captain Black just yet! I still need him to introduce some more of the main story... but dont worry, that swine is gonna be gone soon

Though personally i'm gonna miss his random flintlock outbursts

I figured that deed was up to Spike and not anyone else.

And a matter of business... Who is going to kill seagulls in his passing?

Entaru · « **Reply #21 on:** June 17, 2010, 07:26:24 PM »

Probably me...except I'll probably take out a whole flock with my blunderbuss.

Moongaze · « **Reply #22 on:** June 17, 2010, 10:49:27 PM »

Haha, I like the way you think.

I think everything is coming along quite nicely so far. There a nice even flow about things.

KittKat chunky~ · « **Reply #23 on:** June 18, 2010, 09:06:12 AM »

Thanks, im trying to keep it flowing without leaving anyone too far behind... rather hard when theres no posting order but i'd rather not impose that kinda thing simply because im too laid back

Please, any helpful criticism, ideas, or anything that would benefit the Rp is welcome

---Okay... I'm really hesitant about this, but do people feel the Rp requires some kind of post order, or rule about how much posting goes on without other people posting?

I just feel some people might be getting left behind... and it is hard to try and make sure we dont race ahead of other people accidentally.... So what do you guys think, seeing as your the ones its gonna affect, do you think a post order or rule is needed?

Righteousbro · « **Reply #24 on:** June 18, 2010, 08:47:05 PM »

Not necessarily a posting order, just common courtesy. If someone is involved in something then don't continue on without them and if someone goes a while without posting and you think they should contribute then tell people to hold if for a bit. If people are doing a side action, like me taking in rum and food while your talking to Luna, then that isn't a problem, but if someone starts talking to you while you're talking to someone, then they should wait.

KittKat chunky~ · « **Reply #25 on:** June 18, 2010, 08:49:11 PM »

Personally i agree with righteousbro.. that sounds like the best way, not being too strict, but give other people commong courtesy...

Obviously, anyone else wants to say anything, EVER, about the Rp i'm am more than happy to listen and take on board what you say... this is really my first Rp that i'm running (bar the first time i tried this RP) and so help is good

Personally I don't like posting orders. I feel they don't give a chance for the others to catch up and don't let you post as often...for example, if one char says something to another char that's important, they'd have to wait all the way until the wheel turned around again for a reply, and by then something totally different may be going on in the story.

But that's just me...

So long as people post regularly, I'm usually all good.

KittKat chunky~ · « **Reply #27 on:** June 19, 2010, 10:31:26 AM »

Okay.... i think anyone else who is gonna be joining, has until the ship sets sail from the dock... after that we got enough people to make this Rp work, without it getting overcomplicated...

White Wolf Guardian · « **Reply #28 on:** June 19, 2010, 02:17:12 PM »

Yeah I agree with the magic chinchilla, we must has free posting powa! As long as of course we don't speed too quickly from a couple character perspectives, thus the "Don't leave people behind" rule x.x
