The Traitor Game Application/Discussion/Enquiries Thread

Al-Bob: Don’t worry. From the time you posted three posts away from this one, the timezone I have in my personal clock should be accurate.

Nexas: Shout out to Nexas for his nice introductory post! You could add those conversations if you want to; they might enlighten us more into Randall’s personality. :wink:

Great job nexas!!! Keep it up…

Quick Q’s-WBoon are we going to stay in this thread or move out to start the game?

Well, actually, for now, I won’t post much in the game thread, as, originally, the host won’t address his guests till the characters had made interactions among each other.

So, right now, all you guys have to do is to post any available prologues (get it right, Nexas :stuck_out_tongue: Joking) you might or might not have and post your entrance into Syndrome’s laboratory. From there, just have your character(s)… chat. Seriously. Have them make small talks with the other characters. :laughing:

oh oky dokie dude…on my way to change the prologue (again :laughing: )

Great way to kick off the main thread, WBoon! You have an excellent command of English, wish I could write as good as you! Your style is very ‘novel’-like! Love how gleefully evil you’ve made Syndrome, like he can’t wait to unleash his dastardly plan upon the Pixar universe!
Very nice prologue, Nexas! You’ve described Randall’s character and mannerisms in great detail! I like the ‘secret scene’ where he fumbles to talk with Celia Mae again. Is that a hint of a possible crush? Anyway, like you, this is my first writing to appear on the forum.
When you’re ready, check my prologue out at the main thread now! :smiley:

If they aren’t taken. I like to be either our stretchy friend Slinky Dog, and space hero Buzz Lightyear, or our little green army buddy Sarge

Also, I live in the Central Standard Time Zone

thedriveintheater: Don’t forget those “OoCs (Out of Context)” and “BICs (Back In Context)”- even when you’re just writing your prologue - to indicate those comments meant for the gamers, and those meant as part of the RP, in respective order. :wink:

So, your post should look something like this:

Of course, try and keep OoC comments to a minimum, as indicated in the General Information posted in the first post of this thread. :wink: Thanks.

As for Nexas’ prologue, I PMed him about it, telling him how he have to put those two separate parts of his prologue together in one post as they are not in chronological order and might, therefore, confuse people (it confused me :stuck_out_tongue: ), meaning that after Randall was sucked in through that portal, he couldn’t had possibly had time to court with little miss Celia. :wink:

It’s acceptable to copy his writing style, if you want, but do remember to keep those posts in chronological order, unless you want to have your character(s) have a flashback or something of the past, then you can do something like what Nexas did.

nightwheel: Erm, you need to make a confirmation which of those three you would like to play (you can pick more than one character, but you can only have one of them participate in the voting sessions).

As for your timezone, please indicate a country name and your preferred time of posting, thank you. :slight_smile:

Thanks to…Theatre for the comments ^^ Since it might not be noted in this, Randall never much pursued a relationship with Celia, as he has his reasons for why he’s waiting to form any kind of relationship. But they were friends at one time. In fact, Randall and Sullivan were on the verge of friends at the time, but like Celia, as time droned on to the film, both possible friendships kind of dwindled away. And I wanted to show that ^^

I am a bit flattered my style is having an effect. Then again not like it hasn’t inspired people before :slight_smile:

Oh by the way Boon, if we have any trouble with uhh…“organizing” meetings between the characters I have a solution on standby.

Nexas: What solution? Please share. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well this would mostly happen when the charcters get together before the game begins, first impressions of each other. Their posts would be split. Like for me…

Ran’s impressions of Lightning MeQueen (and the others)

Ran’s impressions of Violet/Helen

Ran’s impressions of Remy

And so on. and from there, the replies would do the same and respond in the section:

Lightning’s impressions of Ran / comments to Ran’s impressions

Violet/Helen’s impressions of Ran / comments to Ran’s impressions

And so on. I know…a little confusing in describing it maybe, but good in execution :slight_smile:

Since I don’t want to be scorned for over OOCing…I’ll post my comments here :laughing:

Comment for A113s prologue:
Ahh script writing ^^ That takes me back hehehe. Nicely organized ^^ For some reason I got a scene from Contact in my head reaing it ^0^ That bit where the main character is in the alien device and the walls disappear to show the galaxy. Nice work for visualizing :slight_smile:

Comment for Star Swordsman’s prologue:
I read this all before you took it off ^^ Only changed a small bit so not much missed :laughing: But it was good and left allot of open imagination for one to use. And you brought back that little device like the one Mirage used ^^ Like I told Boon, thought your characters would get an interesting treatment since they come from the similiar place of the host, hence the package they recieved. Good sorta “preview” there :slight_smile:

Ha! Weird how all three of us so far had someone talking to someone else ^0^
Ran: Celia
Captain: AUTO AND Computer
Violet: Bob

Alright, time to address the gamers.

Good morning, afternoon and evening, gamers of The Traitor Game. Here in sunny Singapore right now, the sun is shining brightly and the air as fresh as ever. Today’s specials are double posts cereal, bunnying-chop and, your favorite, cramped-paragraph spaghetti! :stuck_out_tongue:

Jokes, everyone.

Well, as you can tell, those are some of the mistakes some of our gamers have made today. But, no worries, ladies and gentlemen, as mistakes are much expected in such a new environment. They are good opportunities for learning. Make more of these mistakes, I say! xD Of course, that’s just a figure of speech, try and avoid them in the future. :wink:

Nexas: Cramped-paragraphs - You can do better without them. Try and leave spaces between each paragraphs so that it won’t be so much of an… well, eye-sore. :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, it’s alright to send Randall to another part of the island; just don’t deter from the main story.

Good idea on using a dotted line to separate different impressions meant for different characters, though. Keep it up.

A113: As I have mentioned before a few posts back, don’t forget those “OoCs” and “BICs” to mark out those comments meant for the gamers and those meant as part of the RP-ing, making your post looking like this instead:

Neat and tidy. :wink:

Also, from the look of your post, I hope you’re not bringing the entire crew of AXIOM to the laboratory; it won’t fit! :laughing: And you claimed to be playing the Captain only, so, yeah.

TSS: Nice job on the prologue, there, keep it up.

points at prologue Where cramped? :laughing:

Well I hoped the description was enough to show it was the same place Syndrome started but Ran wasn’t there for very long ^0^

As said, can be used so that replies for indivual remarks can be made at once with no confusion :slight_smile:

I’ll be Sarge and Slinky Dog

Also, I live in th USA

Nexas: points at prologue Dere! See! Still say no cramped?! :stuck_out_tongue:

Singlish FTW.

nightwheel: Good enough, Sargent. Move along to the making of your prologue if you desire! :laughing:

Edit: Just noticed something; USA’s not really a country - more like a whole mass of countries, but, never mind if you want to keep your location private; I’ll just try and work out a timezone from here. :wink:

Edit 2: Don’t worry if you guys don’t want to put in your country name from now; just give me the title of your timezone (Central Standard Time, Arizona Standard Time, etc.) and I’ll just input a country under the timezone.

Also, the gamers who have given me a timezone AND their preferred schedule are only The Star Swordsman and thedriveintheater. Al-Bob only gave me a timezone but not the time he would post more oftenly. The rest haven’t given me either of those. :laughing:

Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Ok then, I live in Western Kentucky. That more localized for ya?

Good enough, though I don’t really need it any longer… he he, sorry for the trouble.

Now, your preferred time of posting, please, nightwheel. :wink:

Well WBoon, Sydney is in Australia, in case you were wondering. :laughing: But yeah, Oz is a bit like US, one mass of a continent, so I think Sydney is a fairly accurate timezone to refer to. And I totally agree, Singlish For The Win!
I’ll go correct my post now. How do I describe the meeting room for all the characters, is it the same room as described in your prologue and Nexas (the giant room with a single computer in it)? Randall seems to have fallen out of that room into another place before getting to meet the other characters in Nexas’ prologue, so I’m not sure where to go next…
And once the characters meet, are we able to write other people’s responses to what our own characters do? ie

Sally yelled to AUTO “Who are you?”
AUTO replied, “I’m AUTO, autopilot of the Axiom.”

or are we just limited to writing only our characters’ thoughts on others and their responses only? ie Turn-based…

Sally saw a huge robot, shaped like a captain’s wheel, hovering in front of her. She regarded its menacing red eye, unsure of how to introduce herself. She thought it looked cold, mechanical, almost deadly.

Sally yelled to AUTO “Who are you?” She waited the droid’s reply…

I know the rules said we can’t ‘bunny’, but if we are meant to interact with another persons’ characters, does this mean that we have to wait for their reply next time they sign in before posting our characters’ next response for simple actions like talking? That would take a long time…how do I proceed?

:confused:

thedriveintheatre: Your post seems alright to me; which part of it are you going to ‘correct?’ :confused:

The room will be the laboratory described in the first post of the game thread (that’s not Syndrome’s prologue because… well, he’s not one of the playing characters, so he doesn’t have one…) and in Nexas’ post.

You can explore as much of the island as you want; just don’t digress from the main story (The Traitor Game). In other words, don’t take control of my role as the main narrator. :stuck_out_tongue:

As for the interactions taken, turns must be taken to prevent a gamer (Gamer A, for example) from role-playing another gamer (Gamer B)'s character in a manner that gamer (Gamer B) didn’t intend to play him (the character) out as. This allows room for every gamer’s creativity in role-playing out their character(s), and from there, recognition of their writing styles.

Though it might take a certain amount of time, it is, unfortunately, necessary and it’s a traditional way of writing many professional RP-ers (such as myself XDDD) have used.

Actually I thought that meeting in the computer room would be suggestibly something Syndrome wouldn’t want, as with combined efforts, the characters could operate the rift machine and go back home, or mistakenly destroy it.
I got a SAW 2 feeling with the characters in one room and when the game begins, they’re sorta “free” as the action occurs ^^
Actually I had thought that Ran’s “Drop” was a sort of opener Theatre. It may leave him to fall into another room, perhaps impacting another character in-play or arriving in “the meeting room” as it were. Or I would still continue from there if nobody thinks of a place to us it ^
^

Well I had thought what I described would remedy the situation ^^ With the “split up sections”, a player could still reply to other characters while waiting for one they haven’t gotten a reply from ^^ Of course execution is more better than telling it :slight_smile:
