Sorry for not posting guys, it's been really unmotivating to post here. I feel like it's been all about chatting instead of some action. Do you guys wanna play a backyard game to get things going?

Well, Flukely just saved Tesla from the snapping bungee cord on his homemade hot air balloon. It was caused by the placement of the cord. When Flukely landed, it put more pressure on the cord and it snapped up from under the handle. So in other words, let's go outside!

Let's all make balloons like Flukely's and play Quidditch! :D


Seriously though, I agree. Let's get this RP moving again. :) Let's not stagnate. Everyone get posting! We can start by admiring the balloon and then someone can suggest a game to pass the time until the soda shop opens.

Lawn Darts, I believe. They're heavy and very dangerous if we're referring to the old ones.

Oh yeah! I forgot to say that the original plan was to have the cord snap off while Flukely was still in air. Then I realized that would end in him getting hurt and I didn't want to hurt my science child anymore. So I settled for the cord snapping on land.

So just assume that Koa walked off somewhere and for Kousa I can play her if there is any need, but right now I don't see any need or contribution that Koa can make so I'm going to take a small hiatus for a bit.

Aw. No need for that, LC! He's still av ery useful character to have around!
He and Pyre could be umpires for the game. Or Koa can play since you don't need to run around for this game.
Plus there's plenty of pets to talk to. Flynn, Nadia and Kilo will be out in a minute too.

None other than the sometimes not always lovable Senka! I'm thinking of revising her sheet again, changing things here and there now with the assumption she's a bit more domesticated.

I wonder if there's a problem sever side then. I'll get Diss to look into it. In the meantime I suggest trying to log in at least every other day because there's usually some posts.

Do you guys get the notifications via email or the RSS feeds?

this is actually not the first time this happened , same thing happened to me and Marine Fox as well , but the timing of each of us is different from each other , so I don't think it's technically a server-related bug or anything , beside it's pretty minor and I rarely had it happen . But yeh , the quickest solution is like hlaoroo said , try to log in a check yourself once a day or two days , that's what I always do

It is odd. It could be that a script is buggy. I'll definitely make sure it's looked into.

So, Diss tells me that our forum software is not compatible with some email providers. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about that until PHPBB sorts everything out on their end. It's possible there may always be problems though simply due to the large number of email providers out there. If you set up a second email account with a different provider and change things over to go there and set them to be forwarded to your main email address that might solve the problem. Unfortunately I couldn't tell you which providers do and don't work since it seems to be a bit variable.

The only other option I can suggest is logging in every other day to check manually. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Re: HPU:Richmond Acres OOC

Post by Roarin »

Hope the updated version is alright. Tell me if I need to change anything.
-Name-
Senka Sparagmos

-Character Type-
Main Character

-Species-
Mountain Lion (Rawr!)

-Age-
5.2 Human Years (18 Cougar Years)

-Neighborhood-
Richmond Acres

-Appearance-
Like many other mountain lions Senka's fur is a tan/orangish color. Her irises is a bright green color. For a cougar, she is on the slightly shortish(er) size. She has has a lithe body type and a runner's build. Senka has the typical brown marks on her muzzle that is seen on many cougars. She also has a scar that runs down the side of the body, slightly visible because of the short mountain lion fur. She now wears a jacket with the Forest Ranger emblem emblazoned on the shoulder.
-Personality-
You wouldn't really call Senka a team player... Brave and independent, Senka carries herself with a slight pride that comes from being a feral (as opposed to being a pet). She prides herself in the fact that she was raised in the wild and won't have anything to do with things that can associate her to domesticity. Her pride enables her to speak what's on her mind and tell the truth most of the time. Her history of life in the wild makes it difficult for her to form friendly relationships with others and will usually respond negatively to strangers and newcomers (until she warms up to them). Instincts still control most of her thought process when faced with a problem and her paranoia streak with humans is making it hard to integrate her into this new life. Though Senka is pretty straightforward thinking, she is able to interprets the mood of something based on their body language (this is a trait she develops during her life in the wild).
But despite her perceptiveness of others she lacks the ability to comprehend human technology, usually leading to broken TV sets and wrecked radios (she's learning, but its a slow process). Among other things movie/TV references, historical references, and witty puns usually float over her head. She also lacks the ability to read the English language.

Update: Since her initiation into human society Senka is more or less borderline adapted with life in the small town. The pet classes that she has been going to have done wonders to increase her knowledge on human culture (though she still sees some daily rituals as strange and outright stupid). Her pride and anger issues have been muted to an extent and have been replaced mostly by disdain, which she uses to tackle all the things she believes are a waste of her time.
Update 2.0:It's been another week and Senka has grown a bit more comfortable to living in the slow paced farm-town. One of the benefits of living on the outskirts with Kandi was that she could get use to the town-life as slowly or quickly as she wanted. Surprisingly, the sound of cars and automated doors no longer scare her, though the rare backfiring tailpipe'll give her a jump (the TV shows she's been watching at home has done wonders to help her figure out what the norm is in human society. Though Kandi has been stressing that it's not as dramatic). Despite her own advances, the community itself is still more than hesitant to accept her as "just another pet". She still wears the red tag that accompanies her collar to show that she is a potential threat. Kids on the other hand tends to be more accepting of her than adults, which really only causes more worry among concerned parents. No drastic legal action has been taken yet, but some ignorant (as she likes to put it) people still have their sights on getting rid of her from the community for good.
Since the fire incident in the forest Senka has gone out of her way to try and join the forest rangers. Seeing herself in a unique position as an ex-forest animal and in an attempt to keep some connection with her feral roots she was able to score a spot as a Volunteer Forest Ranger's Assistant In-Training, with the help of Kandi pulling some strings. She's still very much in the first phrases of her job, and has been diligently putting as many hours in as she can (mostly to keep away from the paranoia in the town, and to spend time in the forest), but with some bugging and persuasion from her owner, she's back to "prowling" the streets of Richmond Acres.
-SPECIAL-
S - 8 "Nah, I got it."
P - 9 "Something doesn't seem right..."
E - 7 "Wait... So there's a guy in that pink bunny suit?!"
C - 3 "I like to tackle conversations head on, with brute force."
I - 4 "If it don't help you eat or sleep, why bother?"
A - 6 "If three rights turns make a left, I would have made them all"
L - 5 "Some days are good. Some days... aren't so good."

I do like the updates. The only issue though is that it hasn't been that long in RP time. It's a maximum of three weeks since she was introduced so I'm not sre how that will affect things or how you want to make that fit with her character.

Alright, how's that?
Summary:

- change in season
- acceptance of community

+ in training
-------------------
I can change stuff again if needed ^w^
And if Keeshah doesn't accept the Kandi things. Kandi is still his character after all ^~^'
