*will read new apps in a second* SO YEAH. I don't know the Laws in California...and....Since the rp is based in California I'd imagine they'd have to abide by those laws? But....then again....it's a small town and I'd also imagine it would be like small towns anywhere else where....i know in my state (Delaware) I was with my dad the other week (well like....a while ago....) in walmart and there were tons of shotties and stuff. Uh. I didn't pay that close attention to what sort of selection they had (because I was there for windshield wipers and a new steering wheel cover...tis pink and fluffy...) but I'ma say yes...they'll have basic shot gun's for hunting...hand guns ('cause i remember they used to in walmarts but idk if they still do....and so lets just say they do?) and some bows. But. Not one of those whats-it-callits cross bows (unless walmarts have them? idk i dun pay that close attention, i just know regular bows are there) UHM. As for the law and stuff, lets just say this town had it's own law because lets say there's forest-ness all around and it's known for it's hunting as well as it's sweet suburban-ness? Oh. I should probably have added a 'how'd you get here' section...but....i'm too lazy to have everyone add that into the apps (or post em) so everyone just in your intro posts, add how you got to walmart. It's not like everyone was actually shopping at the time, so you're more than willing to take there anything you'd of had at home (and maybe there's also a weapon's store nearby? i know my town has/had a weapon's store that sold all sorts of crazy weapons) I know for sure my guy will have a hand gun though. And a baseball bat rofl. EDIT Wow I didn't see this extra page. uh...lemmie read this page and I may edit more. Edited Again rofl I'd love if you wanted to make a map I like the idea of everyone knowing exactly what we're working with instead of everyone guestimating. Uuuuhm i have no idea what to tell you to put for it though. I haven't exactly formulated the whole town in my head yet because...yeah i just haven't yet rofl. So if you wanna go wild with it, go for it. And other people can suggest things. I know that at the moment I'm thinking of the town having forest on at least one side of it (maybe not surrounding though....because that would be too creepy in my opinion) and in the woods there are cabins and stuff. I'd imagine our woodsy guys would possibly live near the forest so maybe a small cluster of houses out there? And then obviously a walmart either smack dab in the middle, or off to one side (not near the woods) and then clusters of different types of developments. Uh. I'd like a bad part of town and a good part of town so we can have all walks of earth. I'd also like a motel and a hotel and some gas stations and stuff. I think the gas stations should be near the walmart but not close enough that it would be easy to get to it. uh. does that work?

Okay, so the map will have: - Part of the forest on one side of the map, with cabins. - Walmart in the centre of the town - Some other smaller shops (Maybe hunting stores, clothes stores, stuff like that) - A hospital - Police station and fire brigade station - Residential areas - Town Hall + Square - Maybe a park if I have room Any more suggestions? I'll get to work on it when I'm free. |

i think we can kinda just pick and choose which parts are bad and which ones are good. I don't think it necessarily needs any sort of 'this is the bad neighborhood lol' stuff (rofl dun mind me i'm hyper) SO YEAH that sounds good. I wasn't even thinking of all the emergency places rofl /fail |

You know you could make links to posts so that it's all in one post? ;P That's what the blue "Post #(insert here)" is, so, you would do "[url=(url of the post)](name of character/roleplayer)[/url]". Just for later reference if you ever wanna do that instead. |

I was a bit 'too long; didn't read'. But then I went back and made myself at least skim it. I'm so lazy when it comes to reading character profiles ![]() I guess, then, that it happens that I discover the character as the role-play progresses? Who knows. |

I decided to make mine short n' sweet since I don't really have anything major for Chase, mainly as a break from my TL;DR profiles. |

No point in having long profiles, in my opinion. When you meet someone in real life, you don't know anything about them. I don't see why it should be any different for a role play. I mean, I understand stats and appearance, but not history and personality. That will be obvious during the rp, IF the character reveals it through normal interaction. Otherwise, the others won't and don't need to know. My 2 cents. |

Yeah, I can't stand histories anymore. Used to love them, but after years of making characters, it just gets harder and harder. Personality, I don't mind. Actually, it gives me guidelines to follow, which is good if I'm RP'ing more than one character at a time -- keep everyone IC. |

^ That's why I do long histories/personalities. It allows me to get into my character in-depth when I'm writing. Helps me stay away from OOC actions, too. |

I like it to for that, don't want to just get out of character but i agree with twisted. When you met someone no one knows who you are, so why should you in a role play? The only other reason i could see it being used for is to let the GM/DM know so you are not creating a god mod character. |

Exactly why it's needed, actually. It's one of the reasons why GM's have to accept/decline characters. |

Okay, I'm going to do that map now. Did anyone have any further suggestions? By the time I read them, they'll probably get to me when I'm about half-way done, but I guess there'll be space for whatever you're asking for. Just throw it out there. Put it on the stoop and see if the cat licks it up. Y'know what I'm saying. EDIT - Moved this info to the other post Edited by CinquantaSei, November 21, 2011, 4:52 pm.

No hotel. ![]() Hmm. Guess my guy could've gotten a cheap apartment, paying for it with various odd jobs. Maybe he was on his way out for an important interview for a job that wasn't horrible. But then the world ended... Stuff like this just writes itself. I ain't even gotta do shit. Just gonna sit back and sip this coffee. edit: Awesome map, btw.

I like the idea of everyone knowing exactly what we're working with instead of everyone guestimating. Uuuuhm i have no idea what to tell you to put for it though. I haven't exactly formulated the whole town in my head yet because...yeah i just haven't yet rofl. So if you wanna go wild with it, go for it. And other people can suggest things.
