OKAY here is the deal with the sburb thing! I have only heard from: -Drew -Icon -Hunter -RT -Terra And if you see this list and go "WAIT A MINUTE I TOTALLY SENT YOU MY LONG, INCREDIBLY DETAILED PROFILE" - yeah, you probably did, and I misplaced it or my PM box ate it or something. Please send it again. ; At this point? I don't need all this info to start the game. So if you haven't decided on everything, that's okay. BUT: I do need to know whether you are going to be Prospit or Derse. I'm not gonna try to make it perfectly even, because that'd be crazy and I don't want to go "OKAY THERE'S 10 PEOPLE ON PROSPIT AND 8 ON DERSE, ONE PERSON NEEDS TO SWITCH." Buuuuut if it turns out that, like, everyone is on Derse except for one person, it'd be good to know that ahead of time before we all start dreaming and the one lonely Prospitian is like "waaaaait a minute."

Oh yeah, one more thing! It would be super awesome helpful if you guys would figure out what RP style you prefer. Do you want to do this in accurate Homestuck style (e.g. second person, character commands) or just make it a regular RP? DISCUSS AMONGST YOURSELVES
(also I just noticed that Selm's account is gone :c does anyone know what is going on there? I feel like I am prying but now I don't know if she'll be playing after all. Which would mean the order for team 1 would change to Robyn --> Gold.)

I think it'd be fun to do it Homestuck-style, but I don't really care that much. All I want are pesterlogs. Yesss. =D

aaaaaaah sorry Elcie I forgot about this *sends* Also, I vote for second-person, character-command RP style. It'd make things feel more authentic and unique. Also also, character art! Eeyup.

Okay, so... my timing was pretty bad on this. I'm starting to realize we may have a problem here. ^_^;
Basically: a week from tomorrow I'm flying off to study abroad in London for three months. I will have internet access, but it'll be limited, and obviously I'll be pretty busy. I may be able to still handle the RP, since it's gonna be a pretty casual one, but there's a chance I may not.
So... you guys have a couple options: 1) I hand off the RP to someone else. I probably wouldn't be able to participate, but it'd get the ball rolling faster, hopefully. 2) I wait a couple weeks to see if I'd be able to run the RP while in London. This could put the start date at mid-January at best, or... worst case scenario, it wouldn't start until early April.
yeah I didn't... really think this through oops

Elycien and I were just talking about this on Skype, but I thought it'd be good to post here so other people could have some input. ^_^
Here's what I was thinking: Maybe the RP doesn't need to have one person running the whole thing. Elycien said she would mostly be NPC-ing the game constructs, citizens of Prospit and Derse, and stuff like that (though the players would RP their own sprites and Exiles, if they want them). Maybe, instead of one person playing all these roles, they could be split between the players, so we don't put too much pressure on one person. So, people could take the roles of the White and Black Kings and Queens and Jack Noir and stuff like that. That'd be fun, right? =D
If we do decide to do something like this, would anyone want to help compile a preliminary list of the sorts of roles we'd need? I don't think I'd be able to remember everything on my own. We can always add things as they come up, as well.

Well, I've been not paying the attention that I should have been lately, so - as bad as this may be - I'm a little relieved... ^^;
As for option one, I can say right now that I wouldn't be the one... I'll just sit back and watch for now~

Completely random question with no relation to anything else currently being discussed:
Are we allowed to use Rose's walkthrough? Or would that be considered unfair? (To what extent do things that exist in Homestuck canon exist in the world we're playing in? Like, I assume that the entirety of Homestuck, as a webcomic, would not exist [though it'd be pretty funny if it did], but maybe SBaHJ would?)

I think it's safe to say that to a certain extent, the events of Homestuck are real things that are happening or have happened in another universe very much like ours. So in-universe stuff like Rose's walkthrough and SBaHJ would exist. I say "to a certain extent" because if something happens in Homestuck canon that would affect our session (like "they destroy all Sburb sessions ever" or "really truly blow up the Green Sun" or "all the Horrorterrors die") then I think we could handwave that away to make sure our session is normal. As normal as Sburb ever is, anyway XD

I think that splitting up the required NPCs for more than one person to RP sounds like a pretty good plan. Although honestly, there really aren't a whole lot of characters that we absolutely need to have- I mean, there are the canon Prospitians and Dersites, right, but I get the feeling that some of you guys have plans to include noncanon agents, consorts, and all sorts of things like that. But with that said: Black King and Queen White King and Queen Jack Noir Draconian Dignitary Courtyard Droll Hedgemonic Brute Any other Prospitians and Dersites Horrorterrors Sprites Consorts (Cult of the Secret Wizard, etc.)
I feel like the success of this thing is going to be based on how much or how little we put into it: rather than have one person controlling the entire RP, it might be a bit easier for everyone if we decide to have each person be in charge of their own little part of their world? If a few people have their own little characters wandering around, it'll make for more interesting interactions than having one person in control of it all, not to mention less work on Elcie's part. xD; Also, I think that having some of the canon things exist might be amusing, but we shouldn't include every single thing? I mean, if it's for humorous purposes like SB&HJ or Game Bro magazine that should be okay, but if we're using something like the actual Homestuck Webcomic itself as a guide might be pushing it a little bit. >>; Of course, there are some of you who I know could pull off having that in there to a hilarious effect. tl;dr, Just use your best judgement on that sort of thing.
