Serial Killer Round 39: Return of the Doubles Round (Cycle 12: We Have A Winner!)

[staika]

@Lost: Hmm makes sense to me. That just means I'll have to put more thought into a plot now and do less of making it up as you go.

 

[Lost In The Void]

@stalkia: I don't think it's wrong to make some up. That's part of the unpredictability of players. However there needs to be an idea of where you're going or you lose focus. Example I have about 10-11 players in my RP. I have arcs all planned for them as well as the over arcing plot. I also have 5-6 characters I'm writing myself that need arcs written. Basically heavy planning commitment and on the fly decisions keep these suckers going

 

[staika]

@Lost: Well I am good at making on the fly decisions so I should be fine with that. I always liked to keep players together in my RP's but I think I should try and separate them more and let them do their own arc from time to time. So far I'm thinking of making a FEAR RP or something based off of it. If I do that I'm probably going to spend some time reading up on horror type stories so I can get the hang of how to write a horror environment.

@staika Lovecraftian-style horror ? Or classic horror?

 

[staika]

@berenzen: I went to my sister since shes really into horror and she lent me the shining and another Stephen king short story book that I forget the name of. I'm open to anything if you have suggestions.

 

[Malyc]

@Staika: For a good horror environment, play Amnesia. Then, write Amnesia. Seriosly tho, I put that game down forever when I opened a door, turned around to make sure I didn't miss anything, and a wraith faded as soon as I looked at it. It didn't say or do anything, it... was just... floating there. Looking scary as fuck... And then vanished... Like some kind of ghost... Or something.

Seriously though, that was a VERY well played moment by the game. Very well played.

 

[Berenzen]

@staika Pick up GRRMs dream songs collections. He wrote a good chunk of horror/sci fi before writing A Song of Ice and Fire. The Stone City, A Song for Lya and The Second Kind of Loneliness are all incredible, and extremely depressing stories. It's a lot more Lovecraftian rather than classic horror though.

 

[staika]

@mal: sadly my computer can't play amnesia so I'll have to stick with books for now

 

[Jak23]

@Malyc: I really want to play Amnesia, but sadly my computer can't handle it, hence me being mostly a console gamer.

 

[staika]

@Berenzen: Whoops sorry about the late reply, I was out bowling and I only checked my phone for a sec and I didn't notice your comment >.>

Thanks for the help I'll be sure to check them out. I'm not really picky on what type of horror book it is as long as it's horror. I just really need to learn the writing style since I haven't really read any horror books before so I'd like to learn how they write them in books and such since that usually helps me with my writing.

 

[RaNDM G]

@staika: Forget Lovecraft. His work is way too dry to appeal to anyone outside of the snooty English intellectual audience.

I'd go with Poe. "Bernice", "Pit and the Pendulum", and "Murders in the Rue Morgue" are all good reads.

@RaNDM G: The internet seems to beg to differ. Then again, it is the internet.

@Nouw: New avatar... nice. Stupid Question Time: is that you? =P

 

[Nouw]

@CA: Thanks ^^. No question is a stupid question! It's a rather fair question since all you know about me is that I'm young and Korean. As much as I'd love to say it is me, it is not me. It's a dancer, you may take offence to that statement, from Youtube. Linky. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLL6ue3Wa5g]

 

[CounterAttack]

@Nouw: I'm not offended... why would I be? =/

It's just that my preferred form of dance is different, is all. I definitely don't have the flexibility that that person does... maybe that's why I get slightly lower marks in my Latin American medal tests than I do for my Ballroom. In the latter I can use my long legs to my advantage; I can cover a good portion of the dance floor if I'm allowed to.

Slight Tangent: In a sense, I'm like Garrus in Mass Effect 2. I have reach, but my partners have flexibility. Disregarding any sexual themes in that quote, of course... >.<

 

[Lost In The Void]

@CA: Lol innuendo.

In other news, my death is canon now because I can't be fucked to go over it

 

[Nouw]

@CA: Must...ignore...innuendo. Yeah I understand what you mean and I apologize for assuming you'd be offended. Interesting how different dances use different skills. I assumed otherwise about flexibility and dance.

 

[CounterAttack]

@Nouw: Yup. There's a world of difference between Ballroom and Latin. Different steps require different methods of execution: in Ballroom dances there's a much stronger focus on which part of the foot you use, such as the heel, toe or inside edge. In most Latin dances you're meant to look much less rigid, and use your arms a heck of a lot more as opposed to Ballroom's standard dancing hold.

Oh, and my Latin shoes add an extra inch or two to my 6'5" figure, while my Ballroom ones feel more like my regular everyday shoes.

 

[Nouw]

@CA: Thanks. I just learnt the difference between Ballroom and Latin ^^.
