Best bump ever.

[GlyphGryph]

Hey, I wouldn't mind a spot in the backup roster. Especially since some players may need to be... killed for inactivity, if you catch my drift.

Keeping in mind your requests, I've decided to go with a recognizable character from a/two TV show(s)!

Martha Jones, reporting for duty.

Though party of that might be that we could use a Cleric, and she IS a doctor!

However, considering the lineup...  actually, forget that. I love Martha, but clearly what this adventure needs isn't a healer, no. What this adventure needs is another fighter.

Captain Jack Harkness. 133 Squadron, Royal Air Force, or something thereabouts I suppose, reporting for duty.

Spoiler: A bit of flavour (click to show/hide)

Jack: Okay computer, how long can we keep the bomb in stasis?
Computer: Stasis decaying at 90% cycle. Detonation in three minutes.
Jack: Can we jettison it?
Computer: Any attempt to jettison the device will precipitate detonation. 100% probability.
Jack: We could stick it in an escape pod.
Computer: There is no escape pod on board.
Jack: Okay, see the flaw in that. I'll get in the escape pod.
Computer: There is no escape pod on board.
Jack: Did you check everywhere?
Computer: Affirmative.
Jack: Under the sink!
Computer: Affirmative.
Jack: Okay, out of 100, exactly how dead am I?
Computer: Termination of Captain Jack Harkness in under two minutes. 100% probability.
Jack: Lovely. Thanks. Good to know the numbers.
Computer: You're welcome.
Jack: Okay then. Think we better initiate emergency protocol 417.
Computer: Affirmative.
Jack: Oo. A little too much vermouth. See if I come here again! laughs. Funny thing. Last time I was sentenced to death I ordered four hyper-vodkas for my breakfast. All a bit of a blur after that. Woke up in bed with both my executioners. Lovely couple. They stayed in touch. Can't say that about most executioners. Anyway. Thanks for everything, computer. It's been great.

Doesn't have a tropes page, but see http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Torchwood for some basics, I suppose.
http://www.planetclaire.org/quotes/doctorwho/jack-harkness/ is probably more useful.

Also, I just wanted to add that I found it odd the OP requires popular well known characters and then, for narrator, picks a nobody from a series no one has ever heard of.

Kyon, a nobody?
I wouldn't exactly say that...

[Myroc]

: That dragon is starting to annoy me. But moving on. We better be going to Sokal Keep in the near future, or I swear I will make you go there. I mean, it's been around since the beginning of the game, whatever is guarding it is likely going to be as weak as Axel's masculinity.

[LordBucket]

Captain Jack Harkness

Accep---

...wait.

133 Squadron, Royal Air Force

You don't really mean the guy who was in one episode of Torchwood and then died, do you? I assume you want the bi(well, more like any)-sexual time traveling con artist who assumed his identity, right?

some players may need to be... killed for inactivity

Let's hope not. There's a finite number of low level questing material in the game, and if people use them up and leave, replacements will be thrust into higher level zones at low level. I can accommodate one or two people here and there provided there are higher level characters to babysit them, but if half the party were to suddenly vanish on us, that would be inconvenient.

odd the OP requires popular well known characters and then, for narrator,

That's just your regional bias. I may happen to recognize a few BBC characters, but in my part of the world if you were to ask the average passerby who Captain Jack is, they'd think you were talking about Johnny Depp. And if you explained that he was one of the Doctor's companions, they'd probably ask "doctor who?" and not understand why you'd laugh at that.

a nobody from a series no one has ever heard of.

Kyon is the primary protagonist of a verse that consists of...

 * 11 novels
 * 2 separate manga series, one of which has been running since 2005 and is still in production
 * A 28 episode anime
 * A 25 episode spinoff series
 * 3 radio dramas
 * A movie
 * 8 video games

It's possible that none of that happens to be popular in your part of the world, but like FuzzyZergling says, he's not exactly a nobody.

: Lets find Norris Gray and make him pay for what he did. Also, that Hanz guy looked funny at me, let me make him bleed to death. I could use the experience hehe

[GlyphGryph]

And yes, I was just going with his original getting from Dr.Who, I'm not talking about the guy he replaced. The "or something thereabouts I suppose" was supposed to indicate the dubious veracity of such a statement.

I assume you want the bi(well, more like any)-sexual time traveling con artist who assumed his identity, right?

Don't forget his ability to spring back to life immediately after dying! That's an important bit.

And you don't actually need to kill someone to replace them! I mean, 90% of the party is fighters, most of 'em are pretty interchangeable, right? Heheh.

And I was just kidding about the Kyon thing as well. Man, sometimes you think the smileys would be enough to indicate someone wasn't being 100% serious.
(I had never heard of him before, but I did look him up)

[LordBucket]

yes

Ok. Jack Harkness accepted.

you don't actually need to kill someone to replace them!

I've been considering that. But at the moment it looks like half the party just randomly decided to stop posting. But maybe we just need to give it more time. I said I'd do two updates a week, and it's actually been considerably more than that.

Lets find Norris Gray and make him pay for what he did.

That was the vote from episode 3. Norris was turned in about five days and four official updates ago.

I want to see a female half-elven cleric/magic-user named Ritsuko Akagi who was forced to come here by a friend who had a crush on one of the players but the friend ditched at the last moment. Unfortunately I don't feel like RPing them at the moment, any takers?

[LordBucket]

Ritsuko Akagi

I'm familiar with the source material. And TARDIS + Eva definitely opens up some new possibilities. However, I notice that at the moment we seem to be more short on players than characters.

I don't feel like RPing them at the moment

Can you at least show up regularly to vote? I'm starting to worry that we may have lost half our party.

[FuzzyZergling]

Have you tried PMing them?

[RAM]

It seems that neither of your original missions have been completed. Much of the slums has already been cleared, you should finish with that.

[LordBucket]

Have you tried PMing them?

I've been sending out mass emails to all players every time an episode is released, but I'll send a reminder to people we haven't heard from recently.

New rule: Anyone who doesn't vote after a voting question is submitted will be bumped from active into the roster in the following episode. Should conflicts arise, priority will generally be given to players who've been active most recently.

Players currently marked active:
Sturm, Laharl, Raynor

Players currently marked inactive:
Gimli, Max, Axel

Players from the backup roster currently active and ready for promotion to active party:
Jack, Ritsuko

Wildcard:
Alex: has posted recently, but submitted a vote from a question posted a week ago.


If I don't get votes from inactives within the next few days, I'll bump them to the roster and we'll proceed with however many players we have available. As for Alex, since he's still posting in the thread, I'll just play him as being confused, since that would be in character for him. That will give us six players, plus Hanz.
