sunnydaleosi comm / osiooc ooc comm / arcology Lab Arc news and updates



Now's the time to join sunnydaleosi if you are looking to get in on a good plot! Our Blood Rush plot is just starting - when a vampiric sorority takes up residence on the UCSD campus, can the OSI Initiative ferret them out before they meet-and-eat the student body?

YOUR characters and their actions affect the world, the way it should be, so come and be a part of the plot!

Current Wants:
Initiative members (canon or original) are especially wanted for this plot, particularly those of college age who live in the OSI campus house. We could also use some regular college students and professor.

We'd also love to see the following canons:
Riley
Giles
Cordelia
Oz
Angel

check here for the full list

and any quality originals! Come join us


Summary:
The year is 1998 - a government agency named OSI (think Initiative + Watchers Council) has control of the Hellmouth area in Sunnydale, California. The events of the the Buffy series never happened, but the mythology is the same. Join a world full of intrigues and plots, new twists on old canon favorites, and dynamic original characters! All we're missing is YOU. Friendly mods, excellent players, plots, storylines, character development questions, character spotlights, live chats, and more!

What we don't have:
We don't have drama, Mary Sues, post length requirements, purple prose, set 'ships', controlling mods, or pre-planned plot outcomes.

Don't know the Buffyverse? No problem! Since we're not following the events of the actual series, you don't need to know the show well to play.


Original characters very welcome!

You. You and I played once. It was when I first joined and you were 'feeling active.' As it turns out, you like to dissapear for months at a time, citing anything from mysterious illnesses to 'lack of muse.'

Whatever. Happens, and I've given up bitching. If that's the way you play, then cool. It's not the way I play. I'm an RP nut. I lack an RL, so I play.

You have people to play with on this site. Quite a few of them are your RL friends and have jumped all over me for wondering in annoyance why you dissapear so much. So I figured you were covered and found my own little group of overactive players. My characters have moved on from the scene we did together lo those many months ago and are now embroiled in some other shit.

So please, when you come online for your thrice-yearly RP fix, go find someone else. Stop popping up to IM me like we're best pals and just a week or so has gone by, instead of four to five months. I am not here to be turned on and off at your convenience. I do not play by your schedule. I do am not a toy you can pull out of the closet and wind up whenever the mood happens to strike you. I am not your friend. I am not your partner. I am a ship that has passed you in the night and has moved on.

For the love of God, I do not revolve around your time, your muse, or anything to do with you. We do not get along. I do not like you. Leave me alone, because I do not want to start another storyline with you just so I can be shanghied in the middle of it while you go 'find your muse' for another six months. There are people willing to play like that. I'm not one.

Goodbye.

You know, when you write this: "she hides her eyes from those around her. Picked up a napkin at the bar and whiped off the red lipstick. She never wore the stuff before and felt a little slutty wearing it . "

After writing this: "winks at Innocent Bystander and heads upstairs for a moment . Leaving her mug of heavy spirits on teh bar. She changes iotu of knickers and tunic top. OH what was going to become of the innocent . She walks downstairs dressed in a pair of 9 inch stelleto high heals. IN black.. she also wore a knee lenght black skirt and a bodice that was clasped down the front in gold lotus blossoms. She had done up her hair in tight curls "

It is my only thought that you clearly have no idea of how much of a slut you've written. It's not just make-up that makes the slut. It's the wardrobe, too.

Don't try to hide your intentions. They're woefully obvious.

You. Please. Cut it out.

You are brand new to the com. Brand freakin' new. So new, the group that you'll be play with only has two other people in (one myself) and hasn't even spoken of plot ideas.

Now, you seem to write well. You picked an alien character, which is WONDERFUL, as this is deep space sci-fi, and we need more aliens. You've been bouncing ideas off of me, which is cool. I'm glad you want to be involved, that really is good. Hell, you've even started to make a skin for our com. Honestly, I like you - no, I freaking adore you.

But. Seriously. Stop asking to be an admin. I have no use for another staff member right now, as the game is small and manageable at this size. If I need an admin, or a mod, or whatever, I may ask you. But if you ask EVERY TIME I speak to you, it just annoys me. CUT IT OUT.

I rp over email. Recently I've had a lot of people contact me about roleplaying, set something up, then never send any posts. WHY?
The worst is when they send just the one message. "Hi, would you like to rp? (insert details here)"
"Sure!" I say. "What about (insert more details here)?"
No reply.
WHY?

Or what about the people that change email addresses and don't bother to tell you? Then three months later you get this awkward message "Oh my God! I'm so sorry I forgot about you! I changed emails and didn't tell you, lol!"

Edit: Also (general you) get my character's name right. If her name is Loraine, nicknamed Lor, don't call her Lar. If his name is Brandon don't call him Brendan. If his name is Ryan don't call him Cale (every other message, WTF?)
Worse, don't get your (general you) own character's name wrong. Zack is not interchangable with Zach. Again, Brendan is not interchangable with Brandon. And you, specific you, don't get me started on your "Domonic" that you sometimes spell "Demonic."

( UNE MEME. )

I don't really know what to write about the past couple days. Better than Friday, but they've still been coming on and off. Probably mostly because it's on my brain now, so I've been worrying about it. I read up on it, which helped, but, yeah.

I'm just trying to relax and keep my mind off it, mostly, so hopefully things will be better soon. ♥

Okay, to two RPers I know, in an RP I'm still sort-of in:

When your characters are having so much sex that it becomes unintentionally hilarious, you might want to realize that not every thread can be about the two of the humping like bunnies.

Player 1 plays a teenaged guy, Player 2 plays a teeanged girl. I play as Player 1's younger teenaged brother, while Modly Person plays Player 2's younger teenaged sister.

Player 1 and 2's characters fuck like there's no tomorrow. In basically every thread. They're also cousins, for a little extra strangeness (don't ask).

Well, my character and Modly Person's character start 'fooling around', not really knowing what they;re doing. Player 1's character finds out, gets Player 2's character, and they proceed to flip out on their siblings.

For the first fifteen tags of this thread, it's Player 1 and 2 having their characters flip the fuck out on their siblings for having sex, because they're too young and are cousins and how could they.

And then, because they are so stressed out by this, their characters (who are only a year older and are, again, also cousins) go into the next room and fuck each other senseless. For the next thirty tags.

Yes, they stopped lecturing their siblings on not having cousinly sex...so that they could have cousinly sex.

Player 1 and 2 do not seem to recognize the funniness, though it has kind of become an ongoing joke for a few of us. But still. You can't have every thread turn into sex, especially ones with other characters.

And when you do it like this, you can't expect people not to find it a little funny.

I know this is off topic and mods feel free to delete it but I am in desperate need of your help BRPS.

My bf and I used to have a great skypirates rp that was on sorcery. We had over 20-30 players at the time before we shut it down due to real life getting in the way, complications, and so on, but we were wanting to bring it back. The thing is...we're wanting to bring it back somewhere other than sorcery and he and I pretty much grew -up- on sorcery so we're unaware of any other gaming venues we could go to. 

BRPS, you're from all over the internet so I have to ask, where would be a good place for us to pick up our Chat-based roleplay back? 


And to skirt the law and keep this On topic *shifty eyes*  Actually Ive been around a number of rpers lately in the 13-17 age range, and I'm not sure, but why exactly must they all be emo both in and out of character?  It's the most depressing stuff I've ever read, and the attention whoring has gotten -horrid-. Case in point, my BF and I had our characters snuggling in the room, amidst conversation and one of them threw a fit both ooc and IC that they couldnt join in (our reaction of course was lol what?)  and that "couple stuff" shouldnt be done in public because it made people 'feel bad" if they werent in a relationship themselves. I dont think my jaw has ever dropped so far, seeing as how 60 percent of the room was in a relationship, committed or not.  Heaven forbid our highly committed couple snuggle in front of someone in that 40 percent, or this person in particular who believes everyone should cuddle her, whether they like her chara or not.

KK, so ...
is not a girl, but needs help with hair anyhoo.


I'm cutting my friends hair soon, cause she hasn't gone to the haridressers in so long she's embarrassed about the state of her hair, which is such a mess of mane that it's hot. It's well past her shoulders and has a natural curl to it. She has straightners and wants to go short but is worried her hair won't behave.

How should I cut it? I can cut hair reasonably well but don't give me a challange that's basically the equivalent of flying myself to the moon, cause it ain't gonna happen.

    
 

Every summer I chop off my hair and let it grow out until next summer, but this time I decided to be daring and let it continue to grow! I know this is the cut short community, but I am showing a little bit of opposite.

Also, I want to sort of keep the length, but my hair hates me after all of the dying I've done. So if any of you have cool ideas for a new cut, lemme know!

Hey all. I just joined.
I'm in desperate need of a hair cut.
Here's my hair time line.

( picture heavy )


I'm letting my natural hair color grow out, but I really like my hair darker.
I also think it looks better shorter, but I tend to keep it longer because it's easier to throw up and not have to deal with- which makes me look like crap.
So I want to maybe cut it a LOT shorter and dye it a dark brown?
My hair is really thick and crazy/wavy/tangly/terrible.
Any suggestions on a cut or color would be greatly appreciated, as it's long over due.

Have a lovely day!

Dude. You do not need to be a part of every post.

Every plot does NOT need to revolve around you or one of your characters. And the fact that every time we call you on this you go in your corner and sulk because OMG WE DON'T LOVE YOU. When we call you on it it's because we're tired of you twinking it up.

Your character can't read minds. Make sure you're responding to something that's in quotes.

We've gone over the outline for one of my character's weddings multiple times. The fact that you suddenly decided that you wanted to have one of your characters - out of the blue - hit another WITH A FOLDING CHAIR for NO REASON is not cool. Thank God you brought this up in chat before you decided to do it in the thread.

Also, your other character? Stop thinking that everyone will let you do anything you want with them. You won't be granted access to advanced technology because you're the new guy! Someone is not going to give you access to something that could make their child paralyzed again just because you think your character should have it.

Also, don't act so surprised that the character you wanted to ship yours with went and dumped your character's ass. Because HE WAS SLEEPING AROUND. For your information? There isn't a girl in the world that would take that news and be like, "OMG DO ME NOW, I LUV YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING!"

Most girls wouldn't have let you get the conversation as far as you did. Most girls would've hung up on you instantly, likely after a lot of swearing and screaming.

Seriously. Things will go so much better for you if you stop trying to make every plot and every thread The Amazing Adventures of Your Character (and his collection of not as cool or awesome friends).

Just knock it off. You're a decent writer. You're just the Chuck Austin of RP'ers at the moment.

Stop the twinking. For the love of god, just stop.
