Yes, it does.

*chuckles* I was playing on the postmodern/vintage flavor of Big O. Back in the 40s and 50s, a flatfoot was a patrolman who walked a beat on foot, thus they thot of him having fallen arches and flat feet from walking so much. Eventually that sort of became synonimous with a cop. The horn is the radio, if you were wondering that too.

Hmm... if Wazpy doesn't show up soon, maybe we could gloss over that scene by having Evan/Dastun order him to give Snake a warning, maybe? I don't want to push Bustems off tho, he can make things interesting and festive. Wink Besides, Julia and I already skated around him once. Maybe if we all send a telepathic message...

*clears throat* Wazpy... Wazpy... come in... testing one two three... Wazpy, what up? Your mom says you don't have to clean your room if you help out with the RP... Big Grin

That was a stroke of brilliance to have Dastun make that comment, stryker.

Okay, I PMed Hanyou about his Nathaniel Lancaster character to see if he was still interested, just because I could.

I'm also kind of wondering about Solitha_Sil, a.k.a. Schwarzwald, a.k.a. R. Frederick O'Reilly....

Okay, here's the big thing I wanted to say: I'm willing to give up either Alex OR Vera to any (extremely, insanely, ridiculously, overly talented writer-type) person who wants one of them (who hasn't been in the RPG up to this point). Not both, just one.

And I guess that's it.
evanASF27 09-02-2004 07:11 PM
why not try Big Fau. He's really damn good at being Rosewater. You should have seen him in the Union RPG....and in the MFL but that's beside the point Wink
I recommend him for Rosewater. btw...I may post a Dastun move tonight. I dunno I got some school work to do >_<;;
snakemarcato13 09-02-2004 09:11 PM
I hope Wazpy doesn't mind if I take some of his part, but things are dragging with his absence. Once there is a message from Datsun (since he kinda knows who I am), then I think I'll make my move. It won't be anything major, just a line or two of me doing improv for bustems.

To quote Carl, from Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Awesome. Awesome! Fricking awesome! What an absolutely perfect post, Tifaria! Why do you people make it continaully harder for me to measure up?
Tifaria 09-02-2004 10:34 PM
Aww, shucks. Anime Smile You give me way too much credit. Besides, now that I've finally caught up with Vera, I am freaking terrified.

Well, okay, I'm excited too, because practically everyone's heading for the bridge and this is going to be a way cool showdown, but still.. freaking terrified.
The Big Finale 09-02-2004 10:36 PM
Still... when do my posts ever compare to yours, or stryker's, or pen's, or (well, nobody's compares to his) FP's? I mean, come on. I'm just the person with the few random ideas and average writing ability that... set it all up... in the first place... Okay, so I am important...

Speaking of my posts...I decided to expand on what I already had...you will, without a doubt (yes, I know it's been delayed, but I swear you will be pleased with the results) see it Monday the absolute latest.

Anyway, right now it's over 10,000 characters long, so...yeah, when I do post, it'll probably be two...

Just giving fair warning in advance...
The Big Finale 09-02-2004 10:41 PM
Rock on so hard. I don't need you to tell me I'll be pleased with one of your posts, FP. However sparse, they're by far some of the best I've ever seen.

I am unimportant! Big Grin I just have random ideas and do them all there on the spot! Which causes problems, so I might have to rethink some stuff...lol. But Snake's finally back (which is good for me in more reasons than the RPG...Wink ) which means it'll be a bit easier for me to play my own part.

Don't make me wave these pom-poms at you! Cheer up! You started this, your posts are awesome, and I won't have anyone being hard on themselves! So there! Everyone participating is bringing in some really, really neat ideas, and everyone has their own writing style. That's what makes it so neat! So, no being down on yourselves, or you all get a mouthfull of pom-pom, because I'm going to be obnoxiously upbeat about this and play cheerleader. Big Grin

Holy wow. 0_0 And I was worried that my posts were too long!

Thanks for the lift-up, Cheerleader Tifaria. Tongue

Emm, you can't really catch up to Roger now, JA. He's driving away in his Griffon and besides, the bridge where the others are meeting is really far away. Alan and Angel have both been driving for about.. what is it, like two or three hours in RPG time.
Christina Perry 09-02-2004 11:47 PM
Big Finale, Do have Roxy Smith in the list? I'll be Roxy Smith if you don't mind.
The Big Finale 09-02-2004 11:56 PM
You mean Roxanne Smith, the Reciprocal Paradigm version of Roger?

Sorry to be both rude and blunt, but that's not going to happen.
Christina Perry 09-02-2004 11:59 PM
No. The last name is different when she married about 3 years ago on my darkangel's story "This Is Planet Paradigm."
The Big Finale 09-03-2004 12:28 AM
Sorry, no.

Ditto, lady,seconded and thirded! Darn you Big F, you started this monster in an eye opening way! I love the mix of writing styles here, the different views, almost like this was a real life scene from our beloved Paradigm. You have nothing to be disappointed in, and every reason to be proud of your contributions! Gosh, I appreciate being put on a pedestal and all, but I pick over everything, drinking in everyone's style and phrasing, and I delight in them. I love my own writing style but I'm constantly thinking I can learn from everyone here... you don't mind if I assimilate a bit of you guys, do you? Big Grin And I do agree, I'm as in awe and anticipating of Fallen Phoenix's post as anyone. He rocks our world, and I hope he rocks Paradigm more gently than that other incarnation... Wink

I haven't gone to the posts yet because I kind of collapsed like I have all week this week, and this is what I woke up to, and from what everyone said... this is almost nervewracking! I know it's late and all... but I have to know!!

I am seriously looking forward to this weekend! Man, you guys SO rock!
----------------------------------
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh... why did I fall asleep! Oh man, what a scene! What the heck am I gonna do! This is just... oh my gosh!

I know somehow that my dreams are going to be restless tonight... Big Grin
