Okay, after some deliberation, I'm in.

CarrieVS wrote:you are strongly encouraged to at least be animate


Uh... my name will be Abdul. Paul A. Abdul, actually. And I will be, ummm- ah! A "human statue"! Yes! You know, one of those street performers who stands perfectly still and just pretends to be inanimate while drunk people make lewd sexual gestures behind him and tourists take pictures.

I mean- I guess you might think there wouldn't be much tourism in the Middle Ages- especially what with people running around different continents lopping each other's heads off in the name of one another's one true god- but maybe the whole "the more things change..." rule applies here? In any event, there certainly was art and performance, and I have to think at some point someone got it into their head to just stand there with a fig-leaf on their junk next to the other REAL statues and see if anyone else would toss them coins for the thrill of it, right?

CarrieVS wrote:Something approximating to rough historical accuracy and a lack of really glaring anachronisms is encouraged


This is like at work, where they always say "participation in company sensitivity training is encouraged", but they really mean "do it or eat shit in the unemployment line, asshole!", right? Look- just like I told Paula in Accounts Receivable that I will try my hardest to stop wearing my "I'm With Stupid" shirt and the matching hat that says "Paula is Stupid" on the very same day -I can't promise that Paul A. Abdul won't eventually get bored and build something into his performance that remotely resembles what modern people would call "The Robot", though. But to be clear, this will NOT at all be The Robot- understood? Stiff, herky-jerky dance moves and a moonwalk was merely how people greeted each other in this time period. What, you don't believe me? Look it up! Just, ah, just wait a few minutes before doing so...

Hey! I put the emphasis on really, not lack. That changes my meaning. I basically meant no mobile phones &c.

Glad to have you, Butts.

Ah, damn quote system didn't "Carrie" over the italics, so I just stuck 'em where I thought they belonged. Okay cool. But be forewarned, Paul A. Abdul is pretty ingenuitive, and might get around to inventing the mobile phone if he collects enough donations. He's pretty gun-shy though after his whole "laptop abacus" start-up went up in smoke. We'll see.

I'm Fareez, a 14 year old camel herder like my father before me. My big dream is to be a page for the Egyptian Army and to take care of their great horses. Horses don't spit at you. Or kick you out of spite.
At least that's what I've heard.

I thought you were too busy, Orange? Great to have you though.

Midas and Chrysler, it's great to have some fresh blood as well as the regulars; I hope you enjoy it and I'm sure you'll both do great.

Midas disappeared after Superheros. Never did say why, though. Hmmmm

Alright, I confess! I did it! I killed the real Midas and burried him under the floorboards! I thought this duplicate make the pounding stop, but it didn't work. Please, make the infernal noise stop!

Actually, I kind of ragequit the games out of frustration. See, the post I just dredged up on the superhero game I originally posted right after the game ended. However, as happens to me at times, the forum logged me out when I posted it. When I logged in, the post had been lost and there was no way to retrieve it. Being kind of an idiot, I'd put a stupid amount of work into that post (the original was a lot longer) and seeing it gone for such a stupid reason pissed me off to no end. But I found a draft of it I'd saved out of sheer paranoia, put in a little prologue and feel like getting back into things.

Also, Moo's crazy. I'm not buried under the floorboards; I'm walled off in the cellar with a starving cat.

Yeah, I used to have that problem with some forums. It's happened to me a couple of times here too; I'm going to have to start a text file for writing posts in, so I don't lose all my work if something breaks.

Ah... a time of violence and religious intolerance, perpetuated by people who were alive when King Louis VII reigned. But enough about my family Thanksgiving dinners, let's talk about the crusades!

Since it's Friday the Thirteenth I figure my character will be one unlucky son of a bitch.

I'll be a dashing young frenchman with long flowing hair named LaChaise Rouge Chemise. Rouge always wears red, as is the fashion in his home town, and is seemingly always in peril. He's always the first to be sent into battle and the last to be called out (sometimes days after the battle has ended). He was voted "most likely to die in a horrific manner" by the local chapter of his sword juggling guild and was also voted "most expendable" by every single group or club that he has ever joined.

I sure hope I live past the first page!
