Assemblage OOC Thread

It is cold. Very cold.
You struggle to move. This is difficult, as you can see and feel nothing around you, but a series of beeps cuts through the chilly air.
With great effort, you manage to stand up, slumping against some metal object. It is the size and shape of a refrigerator, but it has sharper edges, is obviously made of thick metal, and has a heavily secured door. You are in a small, brightly lit rectangular room, made of the same metal. In one end is a sliding door recessed in the wall. It has a small window.

There is something in your pocket.

Keep your wits.
This is where the five players of Assemblage should post their questions, comments on how the sudden acquisition of thermoblades (sorry, Dustan), and general speculation about Assemblage. You can also be added to the waitlist here. There are five players at a time. Glass has left, so at this point the first person to join the waitlist will immediately be added to the game.
You should read all the spoilers below.
Group A is Juni, Nix, and [vacancy]. Group B is Dustan, Bob, and [vacancy].

Spoiler: Rules Specific to Assembly (click to show/hide)

- Played with a normal six-sided die.
- Checking the Item In Your Pocket (as it shall be called because I don't have a dictionary immediately available) is a free action. You can only do it once per turn, but you can do your normal turn regardless of the Item. Using the Item still constitutes a normal turn.
- You can have conditional turns. I.e. "Unlock the door. If it succeeds, open it. If it fails, go back." They cannot be nested.
- Profanity or otherwise questionable content will cause me to immediately remove you from the game. I have noted with great satisfaction that Toady's forum guidelines themselves prohibit "vulgar, obscene, or profane" content.

Spoiler: Character Sheet Template (click to show/hide)

- A name to call you:
- Gender:
- Some useful (but not too godlike) ability. (Has to be something a person could actually attain without magic or technology.):
- Appearance: eye color, hair color. You're all wearing the same thing right now, so no need to describe that.:
- A guess as to what's going on here, so I can gauge your thoughts:

[NRDL]

Gotta say, I'm liking the setting. Very horror sci fi, feels almost like SCP.

[Eschar]

The normal Assemblage thread has moved off the front page. Eat !!flaming death!!, Unsanity mongrels!

[Glass]

It's the nature of RTDs, mate. They move around quickly, especially when compared to the Community Games and Stories board.

[Eschar]

As Gatleos said, 'Not on my watch, thread!'

[Dustan Hache]

I'm waiting for the next turn.

[Eschar]

So am I. We have only Bob's action left.

[Dustan Hache]

So am I. We have only Bob's action left.

Skip him if he doesn't post.

[Eschar]

How long should I wait, or should I just post the next turn now?

[Dustan Hache]

How long should I wait, or should I just post the next turn now?

If you feel you have waited long enough, post the turn. As a general rule, people won't complain if you have 80% of the players posted already when you do it.

[Glass]

I'm sorry, but I'm thinking I'll drop out. If anyone wants my character, they're free to have it, but I'm not really feeling that this is too terribly interesting, at least not to me. Sorry, and good luck to you all.

[Eschar]

Well, we'll see you later. I'm ...disturbed?... disappointed? some word, anyway, that Assemblage has failed to retain its interest, and I'll try to run it better in the future. Do you have any suggestions on what specifically I could make more interesting?

Bona fortune tibi.

Post scriptum: Technically, shouldn't the Orator zap your character now?

[Glass]

If nobody else wants to take ownership of them, sure.

[Eschar]

I'll ask Coolrune, NRDL, Dustan, and crazyabe about it.

[Eschar]

I believe the IC thread has...stuck...temporarily. We need to decide about Glass.
