I don't think I've posted here yet, so I'll just right out and say it - this is one of the most fantastic things I've seen come from BZP in all my time on it, as guest and member. It's clever, silly, fun, captivating, and I can hardly wait for the next update every time.Really looking forward to seeing where you guys take this next, I never know what to expect next!

InnerRayg Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 He's not Black Six the administrator of BZPower.He is a fictional character I made who wears a Black Six on his chest whose name sounds a lot like BlackSix the administrator's, and also is probably gone mad with power. Poor guy.Anyway sorry for the delay folks, trying to get a flash to you - hoping it will be up soon. Quote Latest Update: STORM AND SAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Noise Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Bulltop is based on Black Six, Ray is based on InnerRayg, Brian is based on Makaru, Hannah is based on LehvakLah, and Andrew is functionally indistinguishable from McSmeag.

InnerRayg Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Bulltop is based on Black Six, Ray is based on InnerRayg, Brian is based on Makaru, Hannah is based on LehvakLah, and Andrew is functionally indistinguishable from McSmeag.Well, it is important to clarify that there are two types of characters we are talking about here - Players are like me, Makaru, LehvakLah, and this guy up here ^. Their characters are all either written directly by them or sometimes written by me with their signature of approval - it's roleplaying. Bulltop is based on Black Six, but Black Six is not playing - everything written that is attributed to his character is by me or one of the other story contributors and is not seen by him before it is posted. Now, he does read the comic and he is a good friend of mine IRL so I try to play it somewhat close to his personality, but with the ordinary cartoonish overexaggeration you'd expect of such a silly enterprise.So that's the deal. There's eight total players, six of which are staff and two of which are special guests. HOWEVER, there are other characters you'll be meeting down the road who are based on members, and while it will hopefully become pretty obvious who they are, they won't be directly referenced as that member and that member will have little to no real influence on what happens with the characters.

Queen of Noise Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 omg SNORE ALERT wow ray actually i wouldn't call any of this "role-playing" - the characters are facsimiles of us and our friends (some are nearly-identical to the actual person; others have some major differences) we've been pretty carefully crafting a narrative with specific discernible plot and character arcs and recurring motifs and themes (many of which haven't been introduced yet). there's some element of immediacy and interaction in it, but that's through the readers more than us. this isn't role-playing any more than richard ii is "monarchizing" So that's the deal. There's eight total players, six of which are staff and two of which are special guests. five and three, not six and two :/ Quote bring back "an cool dude" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InnerRayg Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Wow I can't believe I missed the black six.How long does it typically take you to make a batch of these updates?It really depends on the update. I'll be honest, if it's just me writing and drawing I can have a good five to ten panels done every night no sweat. The delays happen because this is a collaborative effort, and for some reason not everyone is as lucky as I am (read: unemployed) to have so much free time . So if say Makaru's writing an update, he's gotta write what he wants to happen, send it to me, wait for me to finish drawing, then I send it back to him to approve everything, and assuming there are no alterations we then post it. There are rarely no alterations. This process usually takes at least a couple days, but in practice usually ends up being more like a week. Then there are the chatlogs. Oh goodness the chatlogs. They usually take at least a couple hours to get finished, and obviously they have to wait until both parties are available which is often not the case. Then they have to be edited, formatted, and coded for the forums.I do so hate chatlogs.Luckily all these delays do give me time to work on flash animations. That's why there's about to be a pretty big couple of ones all together at once. Quote Latest Update: STORM AND SAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
