...Are you fucking kidding me...

[Mr.Beyond]

Wait WHAT? I'm getting confused. Okay. So are there TWO of us? Or is it like just the ENVIRONMENT time-shifted and all the people stayed the same? What about dead people and characters/npc's, like Adrian's wife and the bus driver and Jean's friend?

...I am so confused.

ENVIRONMENT

[Deimos]

I dont like this myself. if your charcter wants to get out of beams creek, find a way for him to leave

[SickSlickMan]

...No. No. No. I'm sorry. I can't do this. It's like watching someone beat their head against a brick wall, then go off to the hospital to get it wrapped, only to come back and beat their head some more.

This is completely and utterly ridiculous. I was planning on finding out a way for us to get out of that place in a little bit, something that didn't involve ripping off Final Destination. Sending us all back to the beginning when we've already invested all this time and effort into what we have is like knocking down the Great Wall of China right after they finished building it. There's just too much that needs to be taken into account, and the story has already progressed too far.

And I don't mean to insult anyone, but...REALLY?! You honestly thought this was a good idea?

[SlenderSniper]

Geez, I leave, and come back to this?!? Anyway, yeah, I don't really get it, but I don't like any of the ways that it's going. Regardless, there are better ways to get this across. I know it was a huge post, but it really messes with storylines. I apologize if I am coming off as an ass. However, this is stupid.

It was an OK idea, but you need to get the idea out there. You can't just say that all that happened in the RP is, if I understand, not going to happen in this..... alternate.... time shift..... reality thing. It would've saved a lot of time if you had asked everyone specifically what you were going to do.

Still, the reactions stunned me the most. Even though I was mad when I came back, I am actually disgusted about how some of us reacted. No offense to anyone, but calling it stupid, and saying simply that it needed to be changed in a short post would've been sufficient. There really wasn't a need to insult blahblah's intelligence, because he had an idea. I am against the idea, but there is no need to be so pity about it.

[blahblah]

Haha its cool. I deleted the post. I still think its a pretty B.A. idea, but so is Jesus coming to save everyone, and i dont think anyone would put that in the story so....

I just really, like really want to get out of Beam's Creek. No offense but its getting kind of boring. The place has been dissected enough.

[Mr.Beyond]

I hope I didn't offend anyone- I certainly wasn't trying to insult you, Chris, I just didn't know how to roll with the idea. It was interesting, definitely interesting, I just think it screwed with a lot of stuff.

And I agree that there isn't much to the environment of Beam's creek, but I think our characters are too at odds to end up traveling together and end up in the same place. If any of us found a way to go somewhere, i think we'd all end up in different places and the plot would be pretty hard to maintain then. Not only that, but having them all trapped together at least helps fuel the relationships between players- if they're traveling, I doubt they'd stick together.

Thanks for changing it. I know it's tough when you have a cool thing planned and everyone shoots it down. I was worried I was going to have to do that with badbri, too.

[SickSlickMan]

I too am apologizing. I can be a jerk and an asshole, and while I don't intend to change my ways anytime soon, I could have handled that a lot better than I did.

It is a cool idea, do not get me wrong. I just feel that it doesn't really work well into the context of what's going on, and at this stage of the game, it just feels like it's taking twenty steps backwards by time-travelling back to the beginning.

I too wish to get out of Beam's Creek. I am, however, saying opposite of Mr. Beyond by saying I wouldn't mind the group start travelling, either vehicularly or on foot. I understand that that's going to be tricky, and there's no guarantee everyone sticks together, but I feel as though we have taken our current location as far as we possibly could, unless someone else wants to bring something new to light.

[blahblah]

Haha theres a MILLION different ways I can take Beams Creek and put it into a new light. Will I? Nahh

[Mr.Beyond]

See, my problem with traveling is just this: Bri just turned bad and tried to KILL someone. Is there ANY way the main group would be like, "Hey crazy bitch, we're about to walk until we hit New York. You wanna come with us?"

So if you guys travel, I have to do something like sneak along behind you or something. Which isn't TOO hard now that I'm on the Slendyside, I suppose.

[SlenderSniper]

I don't want slendy in front of Lily if anyone had that idea. The shovel is for either Bri charging her, Adrian trying to stop her, or Chris..... doing something, or if I decide she wants to intervene in Bri and Adrian's.... "talk".

[SickSlickMan]

True, your making Bri evil definitely stops that idea. Can we at least move it out of this little motel, maybe move into the town itself? Would that be a possibility?

[N Spencer]

First of all, what the fuck is going on now? are we back at the start, or in present time, or something? could someone explain it in idiots terms for me?

Also, seeing as I don't play RP's very often, any hints on integrating my character with the others? I'm not sure who suspects me of clubbing Bri for fun, or whatever, and as the guy no-one really knows I don't know what to do from here.

I apologise for this OOC cry for help.

[Mr.Beyond]

Hey, N- Here's what's going on.

Chris DID post a long post in which he timeshifted the entire environment back to the start of all the events, but that obviously didn't go over too well, so he went back and edited his post to something that doesn't so drastically affect everyone. So in-game, everything's the same as it is last time you posted- for the most part. Bri and Adrian are about to have a talk, but other than that nothing's gone down that could affect you, as far as I know.

On integrating your character with the others- it's tricky, and I'd just suggest trying to engage in more conversations with the other characters, ask them for help, etc. I mean, Chris is STILL at odds with almost everyone else on the playing field, and he's one of the biggest players in the game, but it's the monkey wrench that he throws in everything that makes him someone who's really necessary for the story. Because you know Bri from the past, you might be someone really helpful now that she's evil. I give you permission to add in any details about her past that you think might be useful for the game, so long as you double check that they're not too OOC.

And SickSlick- Yeah, I'm getting pretty damn tired of the hotel, too. If all the characters want to move off to the main hub of town, I can surely creep behind them like a creepy stalker or something. Hell, if we need it, I'll draw another crappy diagram of Beam's Creek so we can keep track of where everyone is. In fact, everyone being scattered throughout the main hub of town would make things more interesting for my character, too.
