The edit button is your friend, Tuypo.
Also, Harry you probably should have mentioned the whole "serious" thing in the OP... whoops. >.>

Actually...

EDIT: Maybe I will go for all lowercase letters as well, as a commitment to seriousness and minimalism.

I think Harry might have been sarcastic when he said it would be serious due to this quote.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

My understanding is that stating its seriousness would undermine the challenge he had set for himself.

How do you guys deal with the problem of keeping all your players in the same timeframes so you don't have 1 person doing 5 actions in 1 day and another doing an action for each 5 minutes

Mind rephrasing that question? Do you, for example, mean how does one make it so each player is in the same time frame?
If yes, there's a few solutions; have it so each turn takes a set amount of in-game time, or don't specify the amount of time.

The simplest solutioin is to not let players post more than 1 post per update, with exceptions being tipically given to dialogue.

Well, Mister Baldman, it would appear your minimalist experiment has already spawned probably more IC discussion between players than I have ever seen in an RTD, with the possible exception of ER. Definitely the most IC discussion I've seen in an RTD over such a short span of time!

Well played, well played indeed.

And I sadly am to busy gathering leaches to participate but I agree it is impressive

How's this sound for a fun game a (literal) space opera

Apologys for typos I'm not used to typing on an iphone I would much rather be at home at a keyboard or at least typing on android but punctuation is something I will definitely need to work on the game will be better written don't worry

A famous opera (yet to be decided) is showing tonight at the space theatre (it's like a regular theatre but it floats in space (I am yet to decide if it will be in orbit around something or just floating there)) the organisers have learnt that somebody is planing to do something sinister during the opera it's you and your teams job to find out who find out what they plan to do and stop it (not necessarily in that order)

The benefit of this is the short time frame it allows us to work in so there will be a definite end and allows me to plan well in advance what's going on its just a matter of if they successfully stop it or not due to the short length the game after you die your out of the game for good I will allow people to enter mid game they are agents that couldn't make it in time but better late then never I have yet to decide on most of the story but I'm working on ideas biggest problem will be naming npcs I am horrible at naming things

so bay12 what do you think

Yeah, I am thoroughly enjoying it. Definitely both minimalist and serious, high I doubted it at the beginning.

Who would be interested if I tried to get something like this going again? I enjoyed the heavy RP aspect, and it seemed fairly well set up. Let me know.

OOC
IC

I'd only be interested in running it if people were interested in roleplaying a character with realistic motivations. The people in the game were great examples, but it slowed down quickly. I'm faster at making maps, so most geographies would be possible, as well as lots of travel. Mechanics might change a little

Let me know what you're level of interest is.
