Any questions, out of character discussion, problems, conflicts, sillyness, meta-comments, and or whatever for The Skies have no Limit takes place here.
Note that we are set some unspecified amount of time after the end of the Burning Skies!
-
I might participate on a regular basis if my summer is boring enough. Otherwise I'll pop in every once in a while. I can't really get that much dedication into an RP.
-
It's not the columbia record club, you can come and go as you please!
-
Yeah we'll see. I might not wanna end my part on that sad ending.
-
I haven't RPed in a long while, and never on a forum. I think I'll give a try, why not, right?

Anyone need a gunner on their ship? *wide grin*
-
To be clear, this is freeform RP. There are no 'rules' or 'roles'.
I think Lord Dick Tim is making an actual D20 ruleset or something.

Yeah, this is a forum RP, not a tabletop. Which makes it 20% cooler.
-
I've actually done TableTop PbP over forums (before roll20 was a thing).
It was like, super slow. But fun. It becomes more of a writing exposition determined by dice. Which is also fun.
-
I'm up for it, I'll have to come up with a new character, but it'l be cool.
-
as this is my chance to nudge myself in, finally, I was hoping to have some previous contact between my and other RPCs, so that I could hop on in. :)
-
I want in, and I will make as many references to Arcanum as possible
-
Love me some Arcanum.
If any of you forum MUD players get a chance I may need some help with some social interaction dice stuff. I'd like to weigh the ability of just good role play next to what kind of modifiers that might get you in dice form. Essentially have somebody "set the scene" so to speak, allowing an example for my dice players to follow.
-
So when abouts will the RP thread be open?
-
Sometime after this weekend.
-
I can drink to that.
-
We are now open. Have at!
Until I close, that is. Or BrdLine does.
-
Pieman, we're set 9-10 months after the business in Anvala, just fyi! ;)
-
Oh don't worry I know, I run a scavenging operation anyways, if we can edit the dating somehow that would be great.
-
I feel like an idiot.
For some reason I thought you were going Dr.Who. (Or segue-ing from the Epilogues)
Disregard! (It's been a long day)
-
XD, I don't go Dr.Who in an RP unless you know, Dr.Who RP............. in my case my characters are from out of town, way out of town, hearing about the battle they spent some time getting there and have been around ever since. And by that I mean we now operate out of Cathedral.
-
Or it could be on the outskirts of the city where there are till downed ships in the sand
-
Naw, I read it twice more and it totally makes sense.
My head is just in the sand at the moment.
-
So day two is almost to a close I feel.
-
Yup, I will be closing it pretty soon! ;)
-
What is with this "open-close" business, what is the goal of it? :)
-
What is with this "open-close" business, what is the goal of it? :)
It's a tyrranical rule to hinder non-americans from joining in the fun -.-
Srsly though, Yiski had it so that there wouldn't be a ton of new posts made during the night, for them to read every morning. I guess it's probably kinda good to have that rule with a bit stricter times when more people are on to continue the story, and to pause it to give people time to come up with their new parts.
-
Let me do a quick poll here then.
Have you (so far) been prevented from contributing by this open-close business?
If so, what times (I'm EST, so we're GMT -4 I think) would you rather I opened/closed at?
We could maybe set it up so that BdrLine closes if he's willing and I open.
Still pretty US-centric. Personally, I've got a wide range of time pockets I can fire off a post in, I know other are not so lucky.
-
Oh I was just joking around, heh seems like I forgot to mention that. Sure, the times are a bit annoying for me, but I imagine them being pretty good for US people (which makes up the big mayority)
it's not awful for me either
-
The open-close system itself is not such a problem for me, the only problem for me being the fact that here in London, its around 3 in the morning when stuff starts closing up. It's not a major problem but still somewhat annoying sometimes.
-
Well, I am GMT +3 currently, so the thread ends up being closed when I am awake. If the majority are americans, this system is understandable, but for me it limits my posts to two or three per day, absolute maximum. :)
-
Well, I'll see what I can do to maximize the hours, maybe make it 24/6 or something. I'd be willing to experiment, but I do like the enforced advancement. We could shift to a advance model instead of open-close.
But yeah, I'm just not awake as late as I used to be. I'll take a look at TZ mappings and see if I can't find a way to accommodate everyone.

Why not just make a post that declares another day instead of having several hours of downtime?
-
That is what I meant by "advance model".
But yeah, backlogs. We'll try it and see if I can deal with the backlogs.
-
So are we trying this tonight?
-
If you don't mind. I'm a bit... incapable at the moment.
Let's just say these two lines took far too much effort.
-
Wait, no closing then?
-
Unless you want to. I'll advance when I wake up.
-
Sorry guys, it's been a rough couple of days at work!
Last few tho.
I should be back semi-reliably after the weekend.
-
I hope you're back to your old self Plasma, I would recommend you get some rest though.
-
Oh and I almost forgot BrdLine, yay for Nelson and Bell. Glad to see them back :D
To make it clarify though.. who is Courage and who is Charles in terms of the last names?
-
Oh it is Charles Nelson and Courage Bell, story goes, after the Anvalan Battle with the Barons, Bell and Nelson got out off the Defenders once their contracts were up and BdrLine hired them.
-
Ah, it's nice to see them again. I've really come to liking the names as well.
-
First they were just nameless guards who chased us down on our Wild Winds episodes, and now here they are.
-
So this takes place after where Burning Skies ended?
-
Yes. Yes it does.
-
Token posts???
-
Token posts???
I don't even know what that means.
But I am now back semi-regularly and will advance the day tonight (if I remember. BdrLine, if it hits 11 your time and I haven't advanced, please take the reigns!)
-
Plasma, what armaments does your ship have?
-
"It can be whatever you want it to, baby"
But yeah, whatever you want. Plasma probs just got guns when the price was right.
-
I must ask, how long is the festival going to be?
-
As long as it needs to be/until BrdLine or I get bored of it. :P
But probably not too too long. Maybe too long. Probably exactly right.
IRP, about a week or so.
-
Sounds like a plan.
-
Oh yeah, the legendary rocket race. Haha, now that almost made me get back into this.
-
Oh and even the Great Dayral makes a cameo :D
-
Pieman do you play Ace Combat? Cause The Falken and Zypher.
-
Pieman do you play Ace Combat? Cause The Falken and Zypher.
hehe, Obviously not, I'm not just making those references ;P
I don't recall the Zypher as a craft in there, The Falken was a conscious decision though.
-
Magical engines, magical engines everywhere!
-
So much engine.
And nondescript rooms. :P
-
If these engines find their way into the AI planes in Adventure Mode, then we will have a very bad time :p

Guns of Icarus: F-16 edition.

"SIR THAT PLANE IS A FORTRESS!!!"
"Nonsense, it's just a plane, what threat can it give?"
"IT IS AS BIG AS A GALLEON, BIGGER IN FACT!!!"
"Ha, it can't be that big, come lets hunt it."
Many moons later
"IT IS LAUNCHING MINI PLANES!!!!!!!"
-
haha, I've combined this man in the non-descriptive with a person with an almost dead organisation, and I made it work. haha again
-
*kneels on ground, opens rage to heavens*
"BdrLiiiiiiiinnnnnneeeeeee!"
-
Someone is going to have to fill me in, also, looks like my characters daughter has misinterpreted the entire situation.
-
*kneels on ground, opens rage to heavens*
"BdrLiiiiiiiinnnnnneeeeeee!"
So umm, yeah, umm...... hai *waves*
(but is that a good thing or a bad thing that i posted that?)
-
Oh, this has little to do with the RP.
We are in the pit. But naw, do what you feel man. I support that.
I just like BdrLine being my nemesis.
Also I will be cycling over the day soon. Probably tomorrow AM EST, unless BdrLine want's to do it later tonight (PM PST).
TL;DR = Carry on chaps.
-
I apologize for my unparticipation, been quite sapping lately. Will try to have writing done in the near future. :\
-
Hope you'll be back to posting Mill, on another point I've just driven Courage into a pretty bad spot hehe. I feel like a devious little bastard :D
-
Pie you should read around page 45 of the original thread and see the akawardness from there. :P
-
--Saloon--
*Ny-Lee blushes at the comment and accepts*
*She and Roland heads to the dance floor*
--Somewhere in Anvala--
*A group of guards are now on the lookout for Spoon*
*Each of the are equipped with tranquilliser darts and rifles*
*The two guards who were on the BdrLine chase are amount them*
What's with people going crazy this week huh? First it's BdrLine, now.... this guy
Don't ask me. We are just here to keep order. And the damaged he cause yesterday. This does deviently need order
Ugh let's just get this over with and find him. Once we get him, it's the hospitals problem now
You said it... hey you see that over here?
*the group stops and turn to where the guard pointed to*
*It was a calm alley way where there was nothing out of the ordinary, until Spoon crashes out of a window screaming words that the guards couldn't understand*
Looks like it's our man... QUICK AFTER HIM!
*A chase erupts around the city as the guards were chasing Spoon*
good times
-
Drunkards!
-
Did I just...not get shot?
-
Yes, yes you did not just get shot.
-
The rocket race has started! Have a spectacular
crash, er, run!
-
SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is why I love these forums
...I was just planning on making that short "cameo" but we'll see, got a bit tempted to continue.
-
That is enough to warrant a scroll bar on this tiny screen. So much excitement.
-
So much excitement, also we have a slight mess on our hands!
-
So I want in on this. But how do I go about it?
-
You just hop in. Pick a good time and write yourself into the action. It's a collaborative thing, so you just add something to the story and see how other people react to it. I wrote a character in a while ago, but never got around to doing anything else due to laziness. I imagine he's still puttering around Cathedral, making huge profits from the Festival crowd.
-
My character will be in it for bounties. He wants to crew a ship that'll make him cash.
-

Is the name of the ship going to be the Bebop?

Oh that would be wonderful.
-
Actually that's something I thought of. He might eventually become a helmsman or have someone else be Jet and be helmsman.
-
I quite like my Sky Runner personally but then again that's just me.
-
Same here, but the way my Starlight was made up to now, lets just say many explosions and stuff.
-
Sooo, advance to next day, or you guys still have stuff?
-
Nor really, but I can't speak for everyone else.
-
Go for it, I should be back tomorrow.
Packed weekends for me.
-
I will most likely be cycling the day pretty soon...
-
Hello, I am interested and I would like to join. How do I do so without breaking everything?
-
Plasma correct me if I am wrong, but TrueQuaggan you can join by making an opening post entering the Wild Winds Inn in Cathedral where I believe Newt is still there.
-
Yeah Newt is still running the inn while the rest of us are out and about.
-
Hello ! So i wanted to participate, if y´all are ok with that :)
I´ll post a bio here soon(ish).

Bios have never been necessary in the past, usually it's just literally the character dropping into the story.

-
Is my post acceptable?
-
Is my post acceptable?
Not a problem, I recommend reading through the entire thread to get up to speed, and it's also enjoyable to read :P
-
OFC, I need to get some time to do so.
-
I might still post one here, just for the lulz
Also, are there Airplanes in GoI ?
-

Kind of I guess, the pirates used them back in the days of GoI, the original, we haven't seen them in GoIO yet but they are making an appearance in Adventure Mode. Also we just had the rocket race, it was pretty hectic.

Oh that rocket race, but I think there are planes in the RP, for sure there is an Air Corp in Anvala and I think someone touch Yesha having one.
-
How do i have to imagine them, crimson skies like or more ww1 or older ?

If I remember there was a concept art by Muse for planes, but mainly WW1 planes but a bit faster and some monoplanes in the mix.

Ok, the first pic is ... meh. The second your require a DL, and i don´t really have the net to do so atm, but ... well, they aren´t too cool.

Last Exile EVERTHING!!!
-
I'd focus less on planes. My understand is they are an experimental and temperamental technology at this point and not at all common. That said, it is an RP, do what you feel man.
I'm working on wrapping up the birdman story, and then we should all be getting back to the Wild winds in short order.
But yeah, just drop in anytime.
-
There is something I don't get. Can you control other people's characters in the story???
-
To a degree, like if your character and 1 of mine are doing something together then you can do that to continue the story but I doubt you can kill someones character off, that would be rude.
-
yeah, I get that. I would never wanna kill you, especially after you mentioned me in the story. Please let me know if Nova becomes too much for the story. I'll try to not go overboard, but I wanted to do something unique.
-
BTW I'm effed
-
So long as you can come up with a way for a six foot blue bird to fit with the lore, I see no problem.
-
I do. She has an explanation behind, no worries
-
Is it possible to start a quest with someone else? Or does everyone mind their own business?
-
Is it possible to start a quest with someone else? Or does everyone mind their own business?
if you've been reading (Which I hope you have) a few members of the RP are doing a mission or something like that together, Plasma and BdrLine are facing off against the birdmen (Wankers the lot of them)

Wait, Plasma and I or the Birdmen?
But Quaggan, besides being an Inn, it's also a place to find bounties. So maybe you can make up, explore the city and interact with Alex, or wait for the others to come back.

Birdmen obviously
-
Yeah, I'm just waiting for Ser Gryphos to save me so I can start my quest. We are at a tense point and he hasn't written for 2 days :/
-

Soz man, been a tad busy. I'll get round to it in the morning.
-
Thanks :D
-
Murder ALL THE THINGS!
-
Thanks Gryphos, I'll continue the story today.
-
Just a heads up, for the rest of this week I'll be off camping, so I likely wont be able to contribute till sunday.
-
Well have fun and make sure the insects don't feast off you.
-
I'll be in Cornwall, the most I'll have to worry about is an overaggressive squirrel.
-
And caravans clogging the road :P
-
My god, I'm doomed...
-
Yes you are
-
Thread Bump, anyone plan on posting anything?
-
Thread Bump, anyone plan on posting anything?
Oops, hehe been so busy that I forgot to make one :o. Well time for me to whip up something.
-
Someone has to remind everyone, anyways.................
-
:p
-
The RP has been Plasma lite because studying for Finals. Hard to find time to post.
-
Totally understandable. Also, good news is I'm back from the forbidden realm of Cornwall, so I should be back to regular posts.
-
Ouch, what kind of finals?
-
Ouch, what kind of finals?
The bad kind.
-
Ouch, what kind of finals?
The bad kind.
The only kind.
-
Ouch, what kind of finals?
The bad kind.
The only kind.
There's also the finals of a tournament. As in, the final match between the first seed and the second seed.
-
Day cycle imminent!
-
Sorry BrdLine, I'm afraid Althea will have to die...
..no I'm just kidding, I don't want to kill her. But considering how I endend my Burning Skies part, it'd be mighty wierd to just pretend like nothing happened.
Urmm... let's see how this goes. I haven't come up with a good solution to ending that argument without a kill, but I'll hopefully come up with something, hehe
EDIT: crap, shouldn't have done that before a day cycle
-
Hmm I can just knock you out with the butt of the pistol, knock you out unconscious (like the numerous times you were :P ), bring you to a room and tell you the story of what the miscommunication was between the orders.
-
Alright, sounds good. hehe I've stopped counting how many times I've been knocked out by now :D
-
Brain damage imminent!
-
Brain damage imminent!
Imminent? He's been suffering from it since half way through Burning Skies.
-
hah, that's like half someone else's fault as well
-
Heh, looks like someone has a minor case of serious brain damage.
-
Heh, looks like someone has a minor case of serious brain damage.
Say "apple"! Ok... You jumped...
-
Heh, looks like someone has a minor case of serious brain damage.
Say "apple"! Ok... You jumped...
Ok stick out your tongue.... Ok don't stick out that finger.
-
Digging this back up right now!
-
oh right.. I'm supposed to do stuff
-
Remember Spoon, you are still unconscious :P
-
Maybe he can do unconscious stuff, like 3000 words on what it's like to be unconscious.
-
Do a life changing revelation of sorts where he figures out life, the universe, and everything.
-
Ah unconsiousness, my one true ally.
...allly in the sense that I can join an RP without having to write that much ;)
-
Oh Spoon
-
there, I contributed something!
-
Contribution!
-
I'd just realised that I keep putting S instead of A in YIA
-
Oh my.
-
I know, I'm a horrible person
-
I just realized that my vessel keeps seeming larger in my head.
-
Bet you get that a lot from girls.
Heyoooooooooooo. (http://www.hiyoooo.com/)
-
Don't make me turn you into a PLASMA cannon.
-
Touche?
-
I don't know.
-
I don't know.
Guys do you sometimes feel like... we are part of something greater? Like we are just small beings in a much greater scheme that what we call life. And what is life, where do we go and what do we do
......wait......what are we talking about again, because if it is something highly different, forget what I said before.
-
I don't...I'm not...what?
-
I don't usually do serious things in RP's cause... well I really suck at them ::)
-
"Sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something"
-Adventure Time
-
I suppose, but of course... I don't usually RP at all either, hehe
-
thread bump
-
Just got back from Cali. Need another day or so to get my life back together. Will post soon.
-
No problem, deal with life bro.
-
So question, does anyone know what time of day it is currently in the RP?
-
I would say around mid-afternoon or the sun is setting down.
-
I know that most people have school starting back up and that there is life to deal with, which I can understand since things been busy. Should we continue on with this day or start the next one anew?
-
I should probably pull the fleet into Garrow first, give me a few moments, maybe an hour.
-
Unless people object I'm fairly certain it's safe to end this day and begin the next.
-
I'll get on to it, give me until the marrow and it shall be done.
-
It shall be done.
-
Is this a revive? Yes it is.
-
oh yeah... I should probably get around posting something as well. Once I get some spare time...
-
Hmm, I'll try to make a post.
-
It's hard when ye gots no time to do things.
-
So Yiski, coming back in or just a small filler post? Plus, if I have some time, I'll post tomorrow.
-
Honestly, is this what happens when I don't run a RP? It dies?
What's going on?
-
I believe it's mostly due to the lack of people we have participating, It's mostly been me, Gryphos, BdrLineAzn, and Plasma.
-
Know it's been a little rough, but just a bump.
-
Getting the ball rolling again sometime? That sounds like a good idea considering...
-
Well, the idea for the post came up randomly and I decided it was nice to do. You all need to actively recruit (force) more people into the rp.
I did it with great success.
-
Yes we need more people, anyone free to join, just add an entry post of sorts, wether entering the Inn or a prologue for your character.
-
Hell it doesn't even have to be a prologue, it could be you running into one of our ships on the sky routes and saying "Huh, that was interesting" before promptly popping us a salute. On another note is Plasma anywhere to be seen? I haven't seen him around in weeks.
-
He had a computer hiccup, it's up and running, may need some fixing still
-
Oh yeah I remember that, right me and my forgetful memory.
-
How about Gryphos? Anyone saw him, I know he is still busy with the VN
-
In game from time to time but I'm mostly only ever on during weekends due to school during the week so that isn't really much to go by. And the forums really, a lot in the forums actually.
-
I am here.
-
I'll see about getting a post out sunday afternoon or monday.
-
The Cantina seems a bit too quiet, as well as the RP Thread. Should we continue with this current storyline or have a wrap up and start with another. A wrap being I close this current story with a long chapter of sorts from where we left off to a conclusion.
Thoughts.
-
I'd really like to see this wrapped up and molded by the posters, but I agree that the Cantina is extremely vacant at the moment, I'm for either side really, hope the others get on the ball and get involved in the discussion.
On another note we really need to recruit more people to RP in the forum.
-
I might as well do some roleplay, as of the fact that I have to work on in-universe/with limitations writing styles...
-
I'm for either option. If the ball were to get rolling again I would gladly recontribute.
-
Hmm, a little bump.
But yes I'll try and start with a ending, putting it in chapter form.
-
Sounds good BdrLine.
-
Decided to hurry up and post; Prepare for a cake arc...
-
I really hope we can get this RP rolling again, I really do, it was really fun when we had people contributing.
-
If there is gonna be a Cake arc, I can continue with the original story.
I may have to use Gryphos characters to continue if its alright with him.
-
I have decided upon the significance of the Mobula fleet guarded by Pyramidions and led by a Goldfish flagship described in my post: Each unit of 17 ships is sent out to scout out and determine if a city is suitable for setting up a trade outpost at.
-
Pie, wasn't there schematics of the modular in your character's warehouse?
-
There was, a copy was sent off to Firnfeld in fact for testing purposes, it was a minor thing, though when my characters get back (Eventually) they'll have those waiting for them.
-
Secondary note for Mac, the Militia HQ is a separate building, the customs office handles trade for the larger docks however an office for militia adviser in matters pertaining to city security, it also serves as an access point to the larger militia communications network. Notice how I didn't refer to the customs house during that conversation. I can make this work though, that will be easy.
-
Yeah, kinda thought they were all one amalgamated body, just separate divisions.
-
Can we remap the city, I forgot where was most of the buildings.
Ok in the south is Alex's warehouse and a military section that I can't remember
West have the inn and I think more decking sections for cargo ships
The north have more space and another military section
The middle are shop sand other accommodations
Anything else I'm missing or need more clarification?
-
someone needs to make a google doc for the finer details such as layouts, etc.
-
I have a draft of the city layout, any comments will be welcome
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G3ML8UvdVCsefZF2-apPZInoZXqmPwuSrUlTAuM9Av8/edit
-
With free time on my plate, I'll be all too happy to jump back in

For those of you just joining us let us give you a summery of recent events:
Several government officials in the Yeshan Empire are planning a covert operation to take over the guild, several of our characters have latched onto this plan and strive to end it, this includes Bdrline's characters, Gryphos's characters, and a portion of mine (I really need to cut down my cast, hopefully without killing anyone off) My main set of characters is currently off escorting a Militia Galleon as they move to retrieve replacement ships for the guard, another one of my set of characters is on their way to inform them of the Yeshan plot and have them head towards the guild as soon as the ships are picked up.
-
Gryphos is back :) . Now I won't have to commendeer his characters and make them out of place.
And I will make a post soon later in the day.
Finally if those who want to join feel free and write in.
-
Already done. I've managed to find time to get back into the Cantina, and unleash Lockheart back into the World of guns of Icarus.
-
Welcome Aboard Lockheart

-
Glad to be back in. I loved being involved in the latter part of the Burning skies, even though my entry brief. But i have a nice story planned...
-
Ah, thanks for the map BdrLine, people can use that now.
-
No problem, and sorry with the name mix up Gryphos been a while since I wrote.
-
Think of it this way, we can have call signs now :P
-
True, but it will be the name of his old character.
Hmm I think I can work with it, idea time
-
I Get the sudden urge to copy/paste the whole Skies have no limit content (up to now) to a google doc to put down as a reference source that can be easily accessed, without having to change pages...
-
I just open a second tab and navigate to the right page, though a list of characters I've created could be in order.
-
Do I have to do the "print" thing again?
-
I'm not familiar, you're gonna have to explain.
-
I just wanna say WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOW
Kthx.
Oh also I'm joining bc I'm late to parties like that :D
Now back to your conversation.
-
Nice to have ya Colt. Just like Pie said, just hope in.
Also take a look at the original Burning Skies, it's a good read.
-
^ Okei!!! :D
Also Pieman omg have you read a book called The Maze Runner? D:
-
I've read the series, good books.
-
YAAAAAY :D I recognized the name Newt, don't see it very often... aw now I'm sad :P :-X
WHOOPS I FORGOT WHAT I WAS GONNA ASK XD
Ok so I was thinking I could have just arrived to Cathedral and I'm in the Southern Docks because everyone seems to be there and I wanna be a cool kid... Is that ok or would that ruin the whole plot? I'm sorry, I feel lost and scared, and a little hungry too... :D I've never been in an RP like this one
-
Placing yourself in Cathedral should be fine.
-
I got bored so I try to make ships that would go with Lockheart's post.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bv7lbtp0ihdqc1z/k1M01cZxF6
Also I didn't have the shapes or parts to make the pyra on the back of the second ship, but you can scale the ship size if you imagine it on there.
-
Another note, am I the only feeling we're getting to the end of this day?
Also that's pretty cool FellowAzn (:P) what program is this?
-
On the end of the day, it is around 6 PM, dusk to night.
Also Pie, it's a IPad app called Battleship Craft, but the company discontinued the game. It's not in the store anymore, but to those who haven't deleted it can keep it. And these are the smallest ships I made, I have a fleet worth of ships three times the size 8)
-
You and your hulking fleets :P
-
Thats very impressive Bdr!, i was actually drawing some art for certain parts of peoples stories...
-
I will come up with a days end post, but it will be a little different.
-
Also, quick question.
Is it Glowwater, Glowater or Glow water bay?
-
The city is called Glowwater, and then there is it's bay.
-
I actually enjoyed writing my tidbit into the night stories segment, good idea Bdr.
-
meh, I did just a nighttime 'reporting back progress' section, with a bit of warehouse shopping involved.
-
I like how you portrayed my introduction as a serious character, have you ever seen me serious? I get aggressive when I'm serious.
-
Teehee...
-
maybe I have to get into the story just to go after lockheart and kill him...
-
Not you again.
-
Not you again.
Yes, mark muy words lockheart.
-
I'm not familiar, you're gonna have to explain.
What I meant:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vzefvl1ldq8gb4h/Print%20Page%20-%20The%20Skies%20have%20no%20Limit.pdf
did this for the Burning skies thing too...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4mjq90xlxyuuh6w/Burning%20Skies%20Saloon.pdf
for those interested
-
Lockheart, I'm a little confused. Did you write Anvala as part of the Guild or that it's like it's own guild?
-
Dang, i need to clarify. Part of its own guild. Is that correct, i was having a conversation with skrim and we were talking about the map and Anvala is, disputed to where its alliances lie.
Lockheart means, he wishes to see the Mercantile Guild, not Accounting for Anvala. Sorry. Reading it back it is a bit confusing...
-
The Metcantile Guild has a Guildhall in Anvala, as it does almost every major city, but Anvala is not part of the Mercantile Guild.
-

This is why I need to put you down lockheart, you're too confusing
-
I have a question! is the Wild Winds Inn in Cathedral? also is it still up or did it get wrecked at some point? If not, are there any more inns in that city? I can't really read everything bc college (see what you guys do to me, I should be doing homework xD)
-
Wild Wind Ale are located at Burning Skies Saloon, Anvala (while supplies last) and Crimson Skies Saloon, Chang-ning.
WWA is a specialty drink only made by Yiski.
-
Ah but I meant the place, I thought it was a place because of this https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,1483.msg25967.html#msg25967 but I could use some Ale as well! :D *heads to the saloon*
-
Yes the Wild Winds Inn is located in Cathedral, and there is no major damage of sorts.
As for inns in Cathedral, you can join the inn or make a new one up.
Edit: Also Anvala is still open if anyone journeys there. And if you value your sanity, don't drink the ale.
-
Edit: Also Anvala is still open if anyone journeys there. And if you value your sanity, don't drink the ale.
O.O
-
I've read the Burning Skies Saloon, don't drink the ale.
-
Wait, I mean go ahead and drink Yiski's special drinks if you are in the Burning Skies or Crimson Skies area. I'll write the
effects deliciousness of the drinks.
-
<3 Ya Bdr, good idea
-
Oh lord, I remember the ale... I remember hallucinations and vomit...
Also, one or two of the drinks containing lochnagar powder.
-
Also, one or two of the drinks containing lochnagar powder.
The key term here is ALL my drinks had varying amounts of loch powder.
-
Sounds fun.
-
I'll get a post in sometime this afternoon.
-
can someone make lockheart drink 1 barrel of plushies that has been rescued from the Burning Skies Salloon?
-
JUST LEAVE MY ARCS ALONE
-
Who runs the inn now, Plasma still?
-
Plasma owns it, but most likely I'll be writing for him. I'll make a post soon
-
I'm working on a post, expect something in about 30 or so minutes, if not I LIE!!!!
-
wait is that inn the burning skies salloon?
-
No we're in Cathedral.
-
online tabletop version of the burning skies salloon...
-
That would be hilarious and I would so buy that.
-
www.roll20.net make one yourself.
-
Pieman or Bdr, end the day already, I can't post until the next day, as of the Flamer montage that's going on with my characters.
-
I'm fairly certain it's around early to mid afternoon.
-
...Days take annums then...
-
It all depends on the frequency of posts. Sometimes its quick, others its not. Just the way it is...
-
Oh damn I thought it was like one post for the morning, then one for the afternoon and one for the night xD
-
It used to be a ton of post with interactions between people that actually takes a whole day from start to finish.
But I'll make a post soon, maybe in the afternoon, but I'll write one.
-
As it stands there isn't much room for interaction considering the current state things (RP wise) Our characters are scattered and not really connected to one another. However the moment we all set foot onto Guild soil is where things will hopefully get interesting.
-
I would say 2 days, including this one, the technical stuff will start.
-
So whereabouts exactly is the Vyshtorg bound convoy? By this point I'd imagine they'd be over the Abyssal Gulf nearing the Vastness.
-
With the timeframe that Pie put in for his set, I would say over the town of Albys, around nightfall would be over the middle of the Gulf and morning we will hit land at Starostrog.
-
So knowing that, what is the current status of all our characters, where do we all stand and when do we think we will arrive? Considering my characters are not escorting a Galleon anymore it should take them a day and a half, however considering how damaged it is I would expect sometime by mid afternoon the next day.
-
Hmm, I'm thinking of editing a lot of the material in the Burning skies, and then the Skies Have no limits, so that they could fit within 'Books'
I.e. Book 1: The Burning Skies; Book 2: The Skies Have No Limit.
Good Idea or not?
-
They're more like self contained entities that interact with one another.
-
meh; the title of the "Series" is 'Guns of Icarus'
-
Plus mac you have to figure out where the other two adventures fit in the original one.
-
You mean the Side Quests? I can handle that; the paraphrase of the first will be a bit of a pain, or some creative liberty; I could just do a narration of the after events.
-
Want to see a part I did (in 10 mins or so, had to format; from the first page (also had to change tenses/some nouns)
-
Note, the fact that I introduced a character with the family name Lockheart was a coincidence.
-
Lol, Pie
When I first read that I was like huh in my head.
Oh and mac, if you are nearing the epilouges, there is some dates needing to change to fit in with both RP's.
-
...Formatted/Regrammarized/Etc. Preview version of "the Burning Skies"
No dates in the thing as of yet; Damnit, my system clipboard doesn't support the size of the whole print page copy/paste; might have to PDF it, and format it from there.
-
Nice one mac, now over 200 pages of posts to go :P
But nice, it looks much more cleaner.
-
149 for main; I'll quickly exceed the Minuscule upload limit... Is that cap reconfigurable? I think it'd end with at leas a meg of text.
Mmh, Copperplate's the most "steampunk-esque" font I have atm...
-
Oh, and Bdr, thanks for the grammar; I'm going to have to grapple with it.
-
Well I mean, I introduced Amelia before Captain Lockheart joined the RP so I mean it really is a coincidence.
-
ehh, he was in the Burning skies.
-
Got more done; Bdr, I hate you. You're grammar makes my editing life hell.
-
ehh, he was in the Burning skies.
Well it's not like I paid attention you know :P I was never part of that anyways so I don't know who the major players were other then Zill, Yiski, and Bdrline.
-
Sorry, if it were a school report, then it would be better.
Wait until you read the others, mine would be mild.
-
read it, but you are the most consistent error-maker; all those tenses, etc..
-
This is already in progress Mac, well. The Burning Skies at least.
Me and a few others have been working on a more, sort of book feel. And a Audio book for around half a year now...
-
...Damn why wasn't I informed?
-
because it never started off in a great way.
we need to ask gilder to help us, he can organise it.
-
Pulling this up here. I'm not entirely sure if I should post right now, kind of waiting on someone to advance the time frame just little bit.
-
Shall I? How far do you need it pushed forwards?
I'm sure I can do a narration for the events in cathedral, yesha, and with the party.
-
Nah, it should be fine really, I'll work something out.
-
Bdr, It appears you have some "big Tiger is watching you" things going on.
-
has the timeline sufficiently advanced yet, pieman?
-
Fair enough actually. And Mac you do have an inkling of what's going on right?
-
Yes, a covert invasion and takeover of the Mercantile Guild, by the Yeshan Empire. The Guild, which is still recovering after its defeat in the battle of Anvalia, where its fleet was obliterated completely.
-
Mac, it was a group of Baron Lords who overthrow Greger that tried to take Anvala. The Guild is in the most part fine after the Guild-Baronies Conflict, time wise happened before the the original RP.
-
derp, got those mixed up, was thinking I had something wrong... been about 3 months since I last read the Burning skies (late at night, which makes my memory worse.)
-
Unformatted, Copy-pasted, the Skies has no Limits thus far would take up 585 8.5 by 11 inch paper sheets.
-
Currently writing how Alex and Richard gained command of the Sky Runner expect it up sometime in the next week or so.
-
Oakenshield? Really?
-
Mainly unformatted, the Burning skies takes up 1,433 8.5x11 in pages, not including the sidequests.
-
Also, the unfinished copy/paste version is already 1.8 megabytes... and it's all PLAINTEXT.
-
How does that make you feel, member who is scarily younger then me.
-
It feels like something that's going to be a pain in the ass to format, but worth it in the end.
-
bdr, your grammar gives me nightmares, with its quantity.
-
I write what pops into my head, if it is still understandable and can be read, I call it a good days work.
If the basic outline of a plot is there, then it is fine by me.
-
there is a little part that doesn't make much sense. minuscule. (also, were you typing on like an iPod with spellcheck off?)
-
I'll try and get a post in later today.
-
Just saying Gryphos, Oakenshield....
I haven't actually seen the hobbit....
I got Oakenshield from Game of Thrones (not that its any better), Its a Island off the mouth of the river Mander.
-
Psst Colt... post...
Oh and mac, show me where it is.
-
Remember how I mentioned a story? Well it's turning into something much bigger then I intended and I might have to release it on a chapter by chapter basis, if anyone is willing to provide feedback as I write the chapters feel free to send me a PM.
Also on page 15 of the RP I made a post setting the time table back 5 years for a flash back, I am retconning this to 2 years, as Dahlia joined the crew after the "Hellfire Event" assume at least 1 year prior to the Event of this RP as the date of her joining the crew.
-
I added a small Anvalan part just to have more content. I may do one for the Wild Winds and Crimson Skies as well. Just to note, these places are still open for people to join the RP.
-
The Document for the Skies have no Limit is getting laggy for some odd reason... Probably need to check if its the huge amount of text, a memory leak, or if I just need to update my word processor.
-
Bdrline, where's Roland during this return? Thinking about making the rare, once-in-a-blue-moon post.
-
He is back at the manor, I did write him as riding back home with Shen and Liu.
-
Been a bit busy, but I'll try and post one later on in the day.
-
Can I have a link to the map we are working with? Also, do I have to make up my own characters or are multiple people doing the same character? Just sorta confused about how forum-wide RP works XD thanks!
-
Boop:
http://i.imgur.com/jVubc.jpg
As for characters, we all have our own set of characters, though should the situation require it we can use other peoples characters to advance the story, like if two characters from two different posters are having a conversation, one of the posters can use the other to continue or add context to the conversation.
For instance poster A:
Dave
"Should we open the door?"
Dave was excited to enter their new house, the two of them had waited years to start a real family together. Susie stood quietly for a few moments.
Susie
"Not yet, there's something I have to do first."
She ran back to the car to grab something.
Followed by poster b:
Susie wanted to immortalize this moment, as she and Dave stood by the door she was nearly entranced by the key in his hand.
Dave
"Should we open the door?"
Susie was snapped out of her trance. She thought for a few moments before speaking.
Susie
"Not yet, there's something I have to do first."
She turned back and ran towards the car parked on the driveway, digging through its trunk she found the camera, she turned back to Dave standing by the door and smiled, before pressing the capture button.
-
Mainly, just make you own character and/or crew and jump right in. Also with interactions with other character, we usually quote the last thing that person says to you and go on from there. Time to time we may take some control, but it is very limited.
-
...Also, don't make many spelling errors, otherwise i'll be pissed... Bad enough as it is Dealing with Bdr's spelling, making it a pain to format it into a document. (It's at 613 Pages now, guys!)
...Damn, I wish I could set up an automator workflow to format the document...
-
...Also, don't make many spelling errors, otherwise i'll be pissed... Bad enough as it is Dealing with Bdr's spelling, making it a pain to format it into a document. (It's at 613 Pages now, guys!)
:P
But mac, do you have a link for it? I really want to see it.
-
...I'm still dealing with formatting, I just added the recent posts, and am looking at certain fonts to make the thought portions count, as unfortunately, copperplate lacks an italicized or oblique font face (italicized: Slanted, usually with different serifs; Oblique: Slanted)(Yes, I deal with fonts a large amount of the time.)
-
Aw sweet! Thanks, Pie!
Shouldn't be a problem, Mac XD
And for all of you? I am brand new to the forums, but if anyone could write me a synopsis of the entirety of the RP, that would be great. Because I have no clue who all these characters are or what "Cathedral" is.
I am basically very excited but very dazed at the same time XD
Thanks!
-
The current situation can boiled down into the following.
We are currently trying to prevent the total takeover of the guild from the inside out by rouge members of the Yeshan Empire, while we have arrived we are currently trying to assess the current situation and how to go and actually deal with the situation.
-
I don't know what any of that means XD
-
It's exactly what it says, officials high in the Yeshan Empire are attempting a covert take over of the Guild (refer to the map for this). Our characters have been alerted of the plot through a letter that was stolen from the office of one such official. Realizing the damage this could cause it was decided that we would try and prevent this from happening, so we packed up and flew over to the Guild capital of Vyshtorg and are now trying to avoid attention while we figure out what to do.
-
Lol, basically, two of the six Factions in game are involved. One wants to expand through any means necessary, Yesha Empire, the other is the target for they have a hold of finances and trading, Mercantile Guild. So far, there are a few groups involved trying to stop this plot, one in Yesha, the others already in the Guild.
If that is too much, you can always start off in Anvala at the Burning Skies Saloon, Cathedral at the Wild Winds Inn, or at Chang-ning at the Crimson Skies Saloon.
-
Nope! I think I'm good! Thanks! So should I just be a random character at first or something?
-
Create a character, making sure they are not using the same name as another (avoiding confusion) and then a good way to start is by coming in on an airship to say cathedral, then maybe getting a room to stay in at the Wild winds inn in cathedral.
-
Have an idea of who your character is, and then have them do something, whether they're on their way to work or just wandering the streets, arriving in one of the current cities we are currently focusing on, or even just have a snack on a roadside bench. It's up to you.
-
So I was reading the most recent page, and I got a bit confused. So, Pie, I am familiar with your crew of Alex, Richard, Phillip, and others in Vyghtorg, but who are the other crews like Gareth, Hector, And Lyre or Captain Oakenshield and Julius Lockheart?
Where is Griffinheart? Where is Cathedral? Where is Chang-ning?
-
Refer to you map for a second, Ching-ning is located off to the west of Cathedral, Cathedral is located near the center of the map, Griffinheart is the name of Gareth, Hector, and Lyre's ship. I'm not familiar with Captain Lockheart's characters so I can't really help you on those.
-
Ok thank you! I'm excited :) I've never done anything like this before (:
-
Pieman, that linked version of the map is of such low resolution that it is almost impossible to read the names of the cities
-
This was the one we had at the time, unless someone has the HD version from the digital art book.
-
There's one on google images with a width of like 1600 pixels.
-
I have that one downloaded however I have no idea where to upload it.
so for now here http://www.mobbly.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Guns_of_Icarus_Map.jpg
-
Yup, that's the one I found on google images.
-
There was a copy somewhere on the forum, no idea where anymore though.
-
The world section i think.
-
Skies Above know...
-
I look at both of the maps, majority of the city names are the same, but there are a few where they differ.
An example is the northeastern city from Chang-ning, one says Yan Tower, the other Ho Tower.
-
Meh, Which one should we use? the higher resolution one or the lower resolution one?
-
I reckon the Higher Resolution one.
-
Bdr suggested that we just keep those three-ish old names.
-
Any more posts? I'm gonna end the day soon.
-
I'm going to give them a job first before anything else.
-
Ok, Just to clear things up. My list of Characters and their current locations:
- Julius Lockheart A.K.A me. (often referred to as just Lockheart, when other family isn't present.) Currently in Averna, Chaladon.
- Alexander Lockheart: Julius' Younger brother. Currently in Averna, Chaladon.
- Adrian Lockheart: Julius' Father, head of the household. Currently in Averna, Chaladon.
- Cecelia Lockheart: Julius' Wife, Currently in Averna, Chaladon.
-Captain Oakenshield: Captain of the Glowwater Fleet. Last seen: Cathedral, Current whereabouts: to be updated.
There are my main characters anyone else I introduce tends to be for 1 or two posts with minor relevance.
-
That clears a few things up, thanks Lockheart.
-
I'll have my post soon, but most likely is is just a time stamp of where the day actually ends.
-
...I'll start writing a post in ≈30 minutes.
-
You should totally post in the RP thread mac.
-
...I'm working on a long one, just decided to forgo using pages in favor of textedit (it's a surprisingly powerful tool)
-
I'm almost done on my side so closing may come soon.
-
...good, then I can do some posting, due to the writer's block I got not doing something the next day.
-
...I think I'll release a Pink Comic Sans Edition of the RP Doc for you guys :P
-
Oh dear mac, why?
-
To quote some random guy,"Because, Why not?"
-
Anyways, I'll roll out a post tomorrow, also I'll be working on chapter two which I hope to get out Sunday.
-
Question: Does Roland know Ny-Lee left for Guild negotiations?
If not, then I have a post in mind.
-
Ok, just looking back, Roland knows that she has to leave when they return, but he doesn't know exactly what time. So far only Ny's parents know that she actually left.
-
Fair enough. I can still work with that.
-
Any updates?
-
I'll probably post today. I was really busy this past week, so i had no time to post.
-
Gonna try and get a post in sometime tomorrow, btw I posted chapter 2, not as good as chapter 1 but I think it's alright.
-
If someone would be able to, please make a post in the RP with the events and then get me a cliffhanger with the characters setting foot on the guild's soil. (For that doc of mine, so I can maybe split it and have a pretty damn good ending point to start the third, which would begin with the conflict.) (Hell, I might have to consolidate the burning skies doc into parts along with the skies have no limits.) (Yes, I'm still working on the docs.)
-
You know, you could, oh, I don't know, also post something as well? I have a post coming together, hopefully tomorrow.
-
...meh, I prefer to work on the formatting.
-
._. Correcting bdr's grammar is tedious, I'm just glad pages has intelligent spell-check this version (It even notices misspellings in learnt words!)
-
Let's get the ball rolling again.
-
I've been really busy with a ton of choir and school stuff in general, so sorry for the lack of posts.
-
It's all good, I know the hardships of being in school and having tons of work.
-
I would, but i made my post for today, I could just create some filler, for the voyage towards Cathedral.
-
More edits. Dropbox link for PDF here, along with Word file (.docx, not compatible with word 2003/earlier) (damn you word, why no copperplate support?) if you want to edit it. 2.1 Megabytes of glorious Plain text in PDF format.

Pdf link now shows updated version.
-
I see mac, I see.
-
I need to officially solidify the layout of the Sky Runner sometime, how I do that is beyond me, but I'll figure something out.
-
Bdr has it all worked out for the way I set it up.
-
Well pie, at least they are in Vystorg.
Ok, got something working for mac's Firfeld
The "Diplomatic Fleet" is on its way
Got something for the Ball
Yiski is working on his bit with Roland
Gryphos character I may need to read on
Plus may add random bits for Cathedral and Anvala with Wild Wind Inn and Burning Skies Saloon
-
Where is Gryphos anyway?
-
I don't know where he is, but i've got his characters with mine.
-
so yeah, *evil giggle* going to pull an Agatha Christie style plot mechanic.
-
Ah, so zee plot thickens.
-
Myes, INDEED!
-
Do not worry. Though sometimes it may seem as though I am distant, I am always watching.
-
Vigilo Confido?
-
Bump.
And it may seem overwhelming, but if wanting to join, the Burning Skies is open.
-
Will try and post soon, have had no motivation to do so recently.
-
Another Edition of Pieman Retcons:
On page twelve of the RP I stated that Lorena was 12 when she and her father arrived in Firnfeld, that information is no longer correct and has been changed to 6.
-
...Pieman, Get me a list of the Retcons and message them to me.
-
Hey pie, think you can put your post? I'm going to advance toward a few days so that the ships are in Vystorg.
-
Getting the internet back only recently I've been a bit preoccupied, I do however have an unfinished copy saved on my hard drive, give me a little bit to actually finish it and I'll put it up.
-
heh, I really need to do some writing again.
-
QUICKLY YOU LOT! IT'S TIME TO BEGIN POSTING ONCE MORE!
-
Funny how I have two forms of writing,the Skies RP format and a traditional narrative.
-
...Bdr, a traditional narrative for the RP doc would be interesting. However, the RP format is like a TV or movie script...
-
What I mean is I use the the script form for the RP, the RP format, and another writing I do outside of the is more of a traditional sense.
Also, mac get back into this.
-
Mac stop being productive and join us you fool!
-
Sorry, going to be gone until the 18th. I promise I'll write up a post while I'm gone. (I'm bringing pen & paper, along with a GOIO map printout)
-
With my departure, may I ask one of the mods to lock "The Skies have no Limit" thread. Once I have free time when I return, I will make a large narrative to wrap this entire quest up.

I MUST GET ONE LAST POST IN TO SET UP WHERE RICHARD AND ALEX ARE!
Edit: Done, feel free to lock the thread now.
-
Just for some little fun for those who know how to write them and know the timeline of both RP Threads. Courage Bell and Charles Nelson are free to be used for any sort of writing. May it be during their time as Anvalan Guards, origin stories about them, or after this whole situation in the Guild.
-
The thread is now locked. I'm just going to assume you have that kind of authority over the thread even though you aren't the original poster. Look at me being the irresponsible mod.
-
So, I'm back with some free time on my hands, so should we open the Skies again and go forth as usual, or has this plot been going on for so long that it has died to a point that it needs to be wrapped up and move on. Comments.
-
But-But- I wanna join a roleplay-
I like reading the story. I want to continue it!
-
You can join Roach, what I ment is to finish this whole Mercantile plot and start up again in either the Wild Winds Inn or the Burning Skies Saloon
-
I like having my internet up again, I'm all for something, while this current plot has somewhat outstayed it's welcome it still needs a conclusion, which I assume you have?
Also I love you Bdr, always remember that.
-
It maybe a bit complicated and I didn't have something in mind. But since I left for basic I have to plot things down again. I may pm a rough outline of it to people.
-
...Hell, I have a really decent idea for the next portion, along with the Tula intrigue.
-
If you have anything run it by us Bdrline, I'm rather eager to get this up an running again.
-
Hmm, so far I havent written any content, but with the knowledge of the Tiger and Deer arriving, BdrLine needs to think of something with his sister. As for Alex and the others, I may need a small summary of what's to happen at the dinner party. The rest can be sorted out if we get a call going or so. As of now this whole thing is going to be thought out instead of the spontaneous writing that we usually do. So once it is finished with a ending, we can go back to the old routine.
-
The idea with Alex and Richard was that they were going to infiltrate as servants (someone had to do it right?) without the full knowledge of what the others were doing. I kind of wanted to give them a more impulsive personality but that's beside the point.
Points From The Beginning:
-Infiltrate the Compound (Achieved)
-Assume identity (Achieved)
-Suddenly enter the dinner party and see Bdrline and find that their plan for total and unabashed destruction has failed (Yet to be achieved)
Pretty much all I had, Alex and Richard at this point are only armed with side weapons (Alex's Revolver and Richard has a pistol) and really are only going to get themselves in a ton of trouble in the long run, the rest of the crew can only follow whatever plan is decided in the meeting under Zankeif's warehouse.

Still working, but think its time to unlock the Skies have no Limit thread.
-
Sorry for the delay. I was traveling the past few days. Thread now unlocked.
-
Yay. RP'ing is starting back up. Though i'm very new to things so how do i go about contributing? I would very much like to be a part of this
-
Jester at the moment I am currently making an ending to tie up the current quest/adventure/thing-y-y-y. Once that is done, if you have read previous threads, people usually write themselves in, be it entering the Saloon looking for a swig or conversation, or just happen to be in the city where people are located. Simple or grand, that's just the jist, and it's formatted like a script or a scene. But once I wrap this ordeal up I may continue with the Skies thread, starting off either in the Saloon or Inn, or make another thread altogether.(Which I have an idea of where to go and what todo next)
-
If ya make a new thread, that'll make it stick in with my current document naming convention.
-
Okay, so I haven't been on the forums much in the past and I have no clue as to the state of No Limit.
I did have a chat with Bdr a while back and he did state he did have an end in mind, but I'm not sure how far off it was.
Having said that, Zill and myself have had small discussions here and there about possibly revamping the end of Burning Skies (I kinda need to fix the time span in the ending because I'm pretty sure I screwed that up royally when it was posted) and making a continuation of Burning Skies.
Now what does this mean for No Limit? Well, that's where it gets a bit tricky.
First, I realized I had no end game for the arc I had written in the thread. If Zill and I figure more things out, then that whole arc is non-cannon.
Second, for those who have posted in No Limit, it will likely have no impact due to the continuation of Burning Skies not affecting those characters (probably those who are not affiliated or loosely affiliated with Merry Men in that universe). However, there is a high chance that characters who have had substantial interaction with MM in this RP will be affected and as a consequence will cause conflicts between No Limit and the continuation. Which given how some parts might be okay and others not, brings me to...
Third, because of potential inconsistencies cause by a Burning Skies continuation, it could just cause the whole No Limit thread to be considered non-cannon. Zill and I recognize this is a worst-case scenario because of the time and effort you all have put into this since the end of Burning Skies.
So, if you made it this far, you're probably wondering what is the point of all of this and what am I asking. Well, two things. First, I'd like to hear from everyone that's posted their thoughts on a Burning Skies continuation. Second, I'd like to hear from you guys the state of No Limit and if there's any other issues I haven't noted.
Clear Skies,
Yiski

We can finish the Limit, and then link it back to the Burning Skies and go off it again...
-
I've passed the baton, but No Limits is still close to my heart.
That said, things change and evolve. I don't think the effort and content poured into No Limit is deminished if it becomes NonCanonical. Plasma was sorta hanging around the end of Burning Skies, but I would have no problem with a reboot/remix.
No Limits has belonged to Bdr for a while now. It's really up to him!
-
I wasn't around for/didn't do anything for either Burning Skies or No Limit, but I'd be interested in participating in a Burning Skies reboot after hearing the stories. :)
-
Same as Adria. Wasn't around for the Burning Skies back then, but I would love to be part of it now :)
-
I'd be willing to contribute with rather irregular posting schedules, probably with a different or similar cast of characters, probably scaled down a lot. It'll be fun.
-
i personally would like to bring a character aswell, itd be fun to have an anglean around, so much going on with the empire or the guild, barely anything from the republic
-
Finishing what has been started. Hopefully I'll do post every Saturday.
-
Just need a poll, Crane or Ox?
-

I voted Ox when we played together :P
