I'd rather we just skip the formalities. However, I must admit that I am perplexed by the notion that we, as Nobodies, even have names. Does this 'change' simply reflect a shift in my title, or have I truly adopted a new persona? I suppose only time will tell, though I guess I should avoid putting too much faith in that gamble...
At the risk of being stalked (and making countless women (and men?) across the forum swoon,) here's a picture of me from my mom's wedding. Spoilered linked, of course, because I don't want to look at my face every time I scroll down this blog. Pic. The woman over my right shoulder is my oldest sister, Courtney. And the blur around her is not due to any photo editing, surprisingly enough. edit: fine, dv. :\
Day Run... is officially over.... Well, it's been a fun.... geez, over a year? My gosh... that explains so much! Anyway, I'll have an official Night Ride-style character wrap-up list type thing written soon, and it'll be posted here for anyone interested in it. Stay tuned--and hopefully everyone who participated in DR can get together in a future game.
Hey, players of RotR! I have a question for you! So, Rise of the Rockets has been going on for over two years now, yes? Yes. And it now spans over 200 pages in total. That said, if you could choose any of the plots that have happened--any at all, however many you need--which ones would you say compose the main storyline of the RPG? Obviously, a lot of stuff has happened, but admittedly, a lot of it has been filler--the Killer Hypno arc, for instance, or a lot of the recruitment missions. So
Okay... I'm going to be honest here: The deeper we get into Day Run's finale and its last week, the less and less motivated I feel to finish it. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm realizing as things go along that the gigantic down times really screwed up a lot of the plot and that things have evolved at this point so far beyond what I had initially conceived that I'm finding it impossible to figure out how any of it ties together in any sort of coherent way. If there's a lesson to be
Just got a potential idea for a new Day Run-related-but-not-quite-sequel RPG. While it obviously won't be entered in this contest, I may have it ready by September, if I decide to do it at all. If not, you'll still hear about it.
OH MY GOD. Thank the spirits for that stop button--I was one second away from going to a different page and losing this really large Day Run post. Phew. Guess I'd better copy it in case something like that happens again... Now back to work...
So I may be meeting with a published author on Tuesday to discuss novel writing tips. As you can imagine, this is flippin' awesome. The only downside is that the meeting would be in Eugene, which is like... a couple of hours away from here. But you know what? I'm cool with that. The only issue is whether I can get a ride up there...
Oh boy. I'm giving myself goosebumps now. And it's only going to get worse from here. X3 Much worse. Though I have to say, this plotline has been fun to play.
Wow, it's been two years already? Where did the time go... Anyway, happy anniversary to Rise of the Rockets! It's been a long, strange trip, spanning well over 200 pages, and I'm excited for whatever else is to come--regardless of how good or bad it is. As a treat, everyone gets a freebie reward--as per tradition! So use it however you want, whenever you want, and on (almost) whatever you want!
Chapter 3, "The Mime", has been posted in Broken Unity. You guys should all go read it--so far I have only one regular reviewer and one occasional reviewer. And that's bad. Aaanyway, I really like this chapter. So go read it.
12 Legendary Pokémon (Rayquaza, Kyogre, Groudon, the Deoxys Matriarch, three other specialist Deoxys, three Latios, and three Latias) vs. 9 super powerful ancient Darkrai with power over time and space. WHO WILL WIN THE TITLE OF DEADLIEST POHKAMOHN (TEAM)!? >:0
Okay... So I'm under the impression that there was a mistake in the grade that was entered into the database for my essay; I just checked the website and the 5 was removed and my grade is back where it was on Monday, so I'm guessing my teacher accidentally entered the wrong thing--which, considering that literally everyone else I talked to in class today said that they also got really low grades, seems more likely than the idea that he just decided to fail everyone. Still, I won't find out for
So, I'd say this was a good first day in regards to Day Run's return. Already there's a lot of stuff going on, so that's good. I want to thank everyone again for voting for it in the finals; without all 27 of you, I wouldn't have this chance to finish the story. So thanks. Only problem is that RotR seems to have slowed down again. Hopefully I can start balancing the two RPGs better now that Day Run has taken that first step out of hibernation. If not... Well, I'll figure something out.
