Revival?
Awash with nostalgia,I began to regret how this experiment ended. The Escapist was a good time back in the day, and here were gathered a lot of the people I miss the most. I doubt this will work, but since I was clearing up some of my guilt over High One's Gambit I thought I might as well give it a shot. Is anyone interested in starting up the old ( Read more... ) -
Queen of Hearts: IT LIVES!!!
Corev sat in a hard chair staring at a terminal screen. Searching through the archives was a tedious task and he had grown bored of it in the first hour. Drev was off somewhere talking with the librarians trying to find out what he could about the subject while Corev had to stay in the uncomfortable chair and read through report after report on ( Read more... ) -
High One's Gambit
My idea was to create a sort of Action/adventure RP; so yes, you're overthrowing a king, defeating a vast army, and solving puzzles, which I hope won't be too hard.
What I'm looking for in a character is something powerful; again, entire friggin' armies. That's not to say you aren't going to start out fighting elevendy billion people, just that you ( Read more... ) -

Still no started RPs, but we have an upcoming one below;
Upcoming/Potential RPs:
High One's Gambit;
The planet is torn apart by war. A tyrant king, Lord Halberd, sits upon his throne, his army subjecting the people of his lands to unthinkable horrors. No one will stand up against this man. No one could. Until now.

In the absence of an RP...
The alley
A scanner buzzing overhead on pre-programmed circuits, its regimented path. Police sirens dopplering in the distance. For this kind of city, it was the sounds of night getting off to a good start.
She giggles, pulling him towards an alcove. Old tenement building, brick and mortar, soft rattling of her braids ( Read more... ) -
How do I use this thing?
You think I'm an oldbie on the Escapist? Pish posh! I've been on LJ since you all were running around in your Spiderman underoos. (If you are still wearing your Spiderman underoos, that's a personal lifestyle choice you are perfectly entitled to make.)
Yes, mshcher, you are old, we get it. Old, old, old. Yes. Now. You were saying?I imagine ( Read more... ) -

Ah. There would be a Battlestar Galactica Lyncher here, but upon writing out a full intro, both in and out of character - multiple NPCs, in fact, I realised ( Read more... ) -
Using tags for spoilers and formatting
A lot of the formatting tags are the same as the BBCode used on the Escapist, but because LJ uses actual HTML, the syntax is a bit different.
I used < b> (without the space of course) to make this bold, and < /b> to end it.
Same goes with < i> and < /i> for italics
You can even cross things out using < strike> and < /strike>if you want to be ( Read more... ) -
Welcome to our 'home away from home'. (My 'comments')
Mshcher has used something called 'dollars' to pay for two months of advert-free viewing, so we should indeed be thankful for her generous donation of 5 of these papers.
This is of course going to be a little hard to get used to, as it is rather different from the 'Pist. There are no boards as such, but I am told that it is still very easy to ( Read more... )
