The Meeting Place - Discussions and so forth

I'm so confused.. huh what?

Wizo Pounamu I had just resently watched a show that classified itself as a cyberpunk based show and for what we are doing I think it may be the best example. This show I'm refering to is the new Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex , which aired on Cartoon Network Saturday at 9:30pm eastern time, 12:30am western time. I feel that if you and those setting up TMP watch a few episodes of this show that the general idea of Cyberpunk will be established. Also I noticed the reference to rape as a previously bad subject on these boards and can't help but feel my last post to this thread was the likely source of the mention in your resent post. If this is so then I apologise for mentioning such a subject in my last post. Any way, their's my two cents for the night, till next time

Sorry Nathan, but as television is not the same worldwide including Cartoon Network which has at least 4 different bases internationally, whoever wishes the cyberpunk aspect to be officially in the setting still must write something up on it for the site. Setting info must be able to stand alone, not simply refer to other media or sources.
And you'd be correct on the assumtion about my previous post.

Donny, I think what Jet means is could he please have The Blast Zone moved down to 105th street? The other direction would take him right off the map.

Wish my scanner was working. If it was I'd take some pertaining information straight fromt the CP 2020 books and post it up. I can sort through the info and write some stuff up, of course leaving out setting specific info that apparantly would offend a few people, and post it here if people are interested in finding out about the theme behind cyberpunk.

Something I have been wondering about is just how many players are interested in this setting now? I know at one point players were foaming at the bit to get a chance to play in the new setting. Alot of those that were wanting this room up and running have left for one reason or another. Does this room still have the player support to warrant the work put in by players, WizO's and site devs?

I'd like to offer my appoligies for the cyberpunk reference since everyone just seemed to run with it. I simply ment that for current events, we could/should create a few corperations with some shady dealings/happenings that had a major impact on day to day life and could be used for current events, news, and as a base to build RPing adventures from/in.

As for advanced tech, I think what we've previously decided has become lost in the jumble. If Pounamu would be kind enough to enlighten us as to what was decided (and if there's a big enough uproar, we could discuss moving it up or down a bit).

 

[Fenmarel]

Guess the silence to the question speaks very loudly.

Well I hope it does, because I just started building the website. Once I get the all clear on the final URL, I was going to pass it out publically so you could see progress in real time. I don't expect that for another week or two, so please be patient.

At this point it wouldn't be all that much additional work to create the room, build the site and let it have a trial period to build a new following. But advertising would be largely word of mouth as I don't think all that many people check the boards or ISRP mailing list.

 

[WizO_Pounamu]

I kinda thought the ISRP email list was dead because I haven't noticed anything over it in... ergh. I don't want to think how long.

How's those maps, Dontella?

Ok folks, I got a situation. In a couple of weeks time, I'm going to be on the road for a bit so my internet availability is going to be... erratic. This will stretch from about Dec 8 through to Jan 7, give or take a day.

Might I assume that whetever Adele's able to get up and going, you'd be happy to be toying with it while I'm gone? This means that if something playable were up, I wouldn't be around to nudge together a grand opening or anything, but I think (hope ) you lot are mature enough to behave yourselves?

What say ye?

- Pounamu

ps, yes I'll have an IC excuse for my absence... hehehe!

{edit: fix da smilie. This is the board, not a messenger damnit!}

 

[Fenmarel]

Well Adele I'm not sure how you took my meaning of that statement but I was referring to my last remarks in the statement I had made previously asking about the player support. That post was up for longer than the date at the top(considering the day it says it was posted I was engaged in other matters and never logged onto any puter) and not a single person posted they had any interest in the setting. Now I know Donny does of course, if she didn't she wouldn't be making maps and such. I figure the majority of folks don't reply to threads and was hoping for a WizO to make a reply like "I've been receiving emails from numerous sources expressing their interest in the new setting. With the amount of email I say that it more than warrants the work" you know something like that.

I'm glad to see that it appears to be in its final stages. When it gets up and running I'll have to pass this along to a few people I stay in contact with that at one time expressed a keen interest in seeing this up and running.

Hello y'all, it's been awhile since I checked in(emails from wizards had been getting caught in my spam filter, and had a prob. getting the to the messages boards ) any way, check up and voice my oppinion time. First, I'd really like to see the cyberpunk theme played out in some way to the theme of this new room, second, hope Donny's got my other character's business site loaded onto the maps, third, Don't worry pounamu, I'll be checking out the site once it's up , and last but not least, JOY TO THE WORLD, THE SITE IS COME, LET WIZARDS, RECEIVE, TMP... , at last it's being built. Can't wait to try it out, till next time I visit, peace.
