Hiatus

[brigadeleader]

Hey guys,  Simme here. Taking a hiatus for about one week, maybe longer, it is unclear at this point. I'll try to have Haruhi's roleplaying plot planned for soon after I come back.

In the meantime, please assume that Phoenix is doing his law thing and Haruhi's doing her annoying thing.

drop

I'm really sorry to do this, especially to Claudio and Pickles, but I'm going to have to drop the game. It's a little too fast-paced for me now and Cambria's voice is more and more difficult the more she's without Coheed.

THAT BEING SAID I do love SP, so when things settle down and I get my RP mojo back, you'll probably see me around and see me be more active. Thanks for the awesome game, guys!

MARCH ACTIVITY CHECK #26

[thepull_mods]

Hello, all! Welcome to the 26th activity check for Siren's Pull!

The Activity Check is something that will be happening every month, just to check in with players, make sure that all the characters who've been accepted into the game are participating, and get a quick rundown of what characters are up to!

Some Activity Check guidelines:

1. Any character who fails to reply to the Activity Check will be removed from the game for inactivity, in order to free up the character for someone else who may wish to play them. You have ONE WEEK to reply to Activity Check until we post the removal list.

2. Any character listed as on hiatus on the Hiatus Page will be exempt from the Activity Check. PLEASE USE THE HIATUS PAGE!
REMINDER, NEW RULES FOR MARCH: If you are going to be on hiatus the entire length of the Activity Check period, please check in before you leave. "Retroactive" hiatuses will not excuse you from checking in!

3. In order to apply for more than two characters you have to give a link to a completed Activity Check on your next application.

How to Pass the Activity Check

All you have to do to pass the Activity Check is post a link to one of the following that has occurred within the past 3 weeks (since February 25th):
- An entry your character has made on sirenspull
- A log in which your character has participated on sirenspull_logs
- A comment thread on sirenspull in which your character has posted 10 or more comments
- An action log in which your character has participated on sirenspull that is 5 or more comments long, total
- Note: IC Contact threads do not count towards your activity check because it is not publicly seen on the game communities.

Additionally, we'd like a short rundown of what your character is currently up to.

This doesn't have to be a long summary, just a general idea, and you're more than welcome to keep secret plots secret, so long as you give us something.

If you can't make activity check within the last three weeks there is still the seven days that AC's are open to post. This gives you four weeks in a month to post at least once.

Here is a handy-dandy HTML-coded textbox, just to make things easier:

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Journal:</b> <user name=""> <b>Activity Link:</b> <a href="paste your link here" target="_blank">HERE</a> <b>Brief Summary of Character's Plot:</b>

Any questions are more than welcome.

Thanks for participating, everyone!

HMD: Constructive & Positive Feedback! (March)

[thepull_mods]

How's My Driving: Con-crit & Pos-crit!

This post is for providing Constructive AND Positive feedback for fellow players regarding how they play their characters in Siren's Pull.

Constructive criticism should be just that - please avoid bashing or being rude. If you have critique for a characterization, please support it as much as possible and offer as much help as you can to the player. Remember - the point of the HMD Meme is to help fellow players, not to discourage or insult them. This goes for both giving and receiving critique.

Positive feedback is a genuine compliment or other positive aspects of how that character is played. Please avoid empty praises or general fangirling/fanboying, and try to give a viable reason that you're complimenting the fellow player - well thought out compliments always mean more, after all!

If anyone notices anything going wrong on this meme, please get hold of a mod via IM, PM, or email and let us know right away so we can deal with it appropriately.

To participate in HMD:

- copy the HTML-coded information in the handy textbox below
- paste it into a new comment and fill in your character or characters' names, journal names, and canon information
- other players will respond with comments or compliments for your character
- reply to other posts with compliments for other players!

<b>Player Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Journal:</b> <user name=""> <b>Character Canon Source:</b> <i>(A short summary of what your character's been up to in Port this month may be helpful. If you'd like to ask for any specific feedback or advice, You can do it here, too)</i>

Thanks for participating, guys!

Whoops, I dropped the ball! :D

[failedparenting]

So, John's account ran out, and Dreamwidth left me with almost all young!John icons (woo hoo!). So for the next week or so, all replies from John will be coming from parentingfail instead of this one!

Thanks for the patience, y'all.

introducing the most out of touch person ever. me.

[mulletrock]

HEY GURL HEY.

You might remember me as dat one Ash player from Supernatural, right? Well, I dropped Ash due to some time constraints and once life cooled off for me was immediately enabled back in as THIS GUY right here.

His name is Dean, in case you didn't know. Dean Winchester which is also synonymous for great big dick, but he tries to do the right thing. He throws around a lot of pop culture references and sarcasm seems to be a second language for him. He's your run of the mill middle-aged hunting badass and is coming to you from the series smack dab after 5x03 "Free to Be You and Me."

( spoilers abound )

My name is Nic! In case you didn't meet me the first time around and I can only be found at profoundbong because I'm unreliable everywhere else. AIM shy, space out on PMs, and just about all other formats of communication. Sorry. :|b You can add me here, no problem! I'm friendly! Private plurks are totally welcome also. Never hesitate to get in contact with me. 8D

I should probably note here that I'll be slow at first and you might not see any intro for a little bit even though I'll be playing on the welcome post. You see, I was on vacation when I wrote and submitted my app and I still need to travel 2300 miles back to the mid-west in the next four days. Kill me now.

BUT I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY EXCITED TO BE PLAYING HIM HERE WITH ALL YOU GUYS. So excited. You have no idea. :')

So, here's a video that sums up my characterization. Enjoy. ♥

I (Fishbone) want to tell you that you have been privileged. Tony Stark is here to rock your world, SP. o/ Please, please, no requests for autographs.
So here's a Tony, played by Robert Downey Jr. who is awesome and like 5'8" okay, so that means he is from the filmverse, Iron Man 2 to be precise. For those of you who have seen it, he's showing up right before he figures out that new element so he's starting out on the look out for a suitable metal for.....spoilery reasons. Is it okay to be vague? I feel like I shouldn't paste a spoiler smack in the center of the comm.
He's also arriving in his Iron Man suit and may be needing some help getting it all off. Not that he's really going to want to ask, but there you have it.

Expect to see the name STARK plastered across awesome pieces of technological genius that show up around the island after Tony's all settled in. :|b

That about does it. See you soon!



Little edit here for those of you who may have no idea who this man is: Tony Stark is a Marvel character who is a genius that invents awesome weapons and tech, who can pretty much walk into a room and have all technology bow down and worship him because of his genius brain. So if you need something hacked or MASSIVELY IMPROVED.. well, don't ask Tony because he probably won't want to do it for you even though he COULD. He has a miniaturized arc reactor in his chest (IT GLOWS) to keep him alive because of a little mishap in Afghanistan. He also made a flashy suit of armor that can fly and make stuff blow up. This is totally his theme song, btw.

Yup, Another Intro

[replicamodel]

Hey everyone! Kris here, the mun behind Ventus, Chloe Sullivan, and Takiko Okuda, bringing in character number four. This is Luke fon Fabre, the main hero from Tales of the Abyss. For those of you who don't know him, he's the son a Duke, was once a complete asshat, and is now a much nicer so and so after he caused a MAJOR TRAGEDY. So he is actually quite endearing these days.

Luke is coming in from pretty much end game, so at least his self esteem issues are somewhat resolved? Don't be surprised if he suddenly starts going on about self worth, it's sort of his thing. Also, ToA is about six years old now, but if you want me to avoid spoilers for any reason, just PM me and let me know.

Anyways, same as always, if you need to chat with me about anything my AIM is isofonia. Expect Luke's IC intro sometime later tonight! :D
