Dumb question of the day. I do not see the pm option anymore and I have not changed anything, do I just post on your profile or something? The pm option was there a few days ago, because I pm'd Skirt. :banghead:

PM option is right under the users avatar, as well as on the users profile. If you're still having trouble, say which user you want to PM and s/he will PM you.. (Well, they better.. )

Edit: Oh yeah and Kettle, I really like what you did with Harlen, having him bunk with Jesse. Would improve their relationship, along with encourage house sharing. Something that might end up being necessary, and personally I think would be a good thing if each user has at least one other RP-er in their house. Gives us the feeling of actually playing a Fallout MMO or something.

Edit 2: Oh yeah and, I need one more picture for the group photo update. First come first serve! (Unless 3 people update their photos at once... Also, when thread 4 starts, I might even overhaul the photo to incorporate more..)

Edit 3: Okay, I updated the group photo but it's pretty sloppy. I'm thinking of doing a version 2.0. So if you all are interested, simply PM me a picture of your character so it's easier for me and it doesn't end up looking sloppy. Until then I'll post the new group photo shortly.

Edit 4: http://oi56.tinypic.com/2dmb1o0.jpg.

So does he need an in town job Kettle? Could he work at the diner eventually doing this n that?

I guess my thought was Pawnee tends to go "out of town" to scavenge, or whatever.

He can still wash dishes at the diner, that position is open, hehe

Assassin covered most of this. If your inbox is full, then this might be what is stopping you sending or recieving PMs. If this doesn't help, then as long as the message is about the RP' stick it in this thread.



Thanks Assassin. I did it for a couple of reasons. 1) It would cause Jesse and Harlon to talk. 2) Joe would see it as a way to keep both men out of his way. So Jesse may keep an eye on Harlon. As for house sharing, I don't see any problems with people moving in with each other if they want to.

With the photo. Starbug already has a photo linked at the end of her CS. :thumbsup:



I assume you mean Harlon's son here Wolfman? Yeah he'll need some kind of work. If you want him to work at the diner then you'll have to work that out with Skirt mate, she runs the place.

@Skirt- Is it a problem for you if Rusty does odd jobs around the diner for Celeste? Eventually, I'm thinking he might have a couple jobs left, but when he settles down, it might be immediately too, I already have an into worked out for him.

At first I thought Infantry shot himself with a rifle. It was a pistol. I have edited

Nope! She could use the help.



It's okay, just typical half-assed RP behaviour. Can't expect much more from us non-old-guard!

Hahahaha. I love it Surfer. Pawnee accidentally places the "murder" weapon in the doc's house. :thumbsup:

Alrighty, so I take it Rusty is accepted, and it's morning IC?

Oh, crud. Kettle didn't say explicitly, but I assume since you're okay with Valentine taking some kind of employment (even if it's at the diner) then you've met his condition and it would be okay. Yes, it's morning now. He probably meant to accept...?

Butchering what though? We have no livestock. Which brings me to my next idea which I think some of us might like, considering we have several Western inspired characters. Jesse, and maybe a few others should be sent out by Celeste to gather some Brahmin for the survival of the settlement. I was thinking Harlen could come along, thus further strengthening their bond, plus if Rusty shows up, it would be a nice occasion for a father-son reunion.

Perhaps while they are out in the Wastes, Rusty runs into the two, and after a brief staredown Harlen realizes it's his own son... What do you guys think?

Yeah, sorry mate, I did mean to accept. One thing though, Harlen has a feeling that there is "Something off" about Joe. I'm ok with this given Harlen's age and experience, (Same as Jesse). But I put in Joe's CS that he is a great liar and a better thief. So I'd rather Rusty didn't figure Joe out, not yet at least.

That ok with you mate?

Yeah, that's why I had Jesse fall for Joe's bluff. In RP's people have to respect each characters special talents. If one is a great liar, you have to accept that your character fell for it. If the other character is a better shooter, then you have to accept that he was shot first.

It is important for RP-ers to fall in love with the RP itself, and not their characters. Remember, your character isn't you. It's a member of the story you're controlling. If your character is shot down, or stumped, or one-upped by another, there's no dishonor in it.

(More of a general thing, not directed to anyone in particular. All you guys are doing excellent, as far as I can tell from my experience. )

I don't knooooooow, Assassin, use some imagination power. Butchering mole rats, bloatflies, feral dogs...

Cattle driver, huh? That could work. A bit below Jesse, though, but I suppose he's retired after all. That's when you pick up new hobbies...

Celeste won't come up with that on her own, though. Remember what you're working with, there, haha.

Have her mention a desire for Brahmin milk or something off-hand. It'll spark Jesse's own old mind. I don't know like; "I wish we had something fresh." or "I wonder what Brahmin milk tastes like." or something to that effect. If not Celeste, then Joe could, but I thought that would create an unbalance in the RP, giving Joe the constant mental high ground, ushering people off like sheeps all the time.

Once in a while someone else should give them a reason to be distracted, and Joe would be thankful that he's had such good fortune. But remember, this is only my personal opinion, not a omniscient perspective.

I was mostly teasing you. Accept my friend request already, friends make me feel special

Duncan already arranged with Celeste to provide the fresh dairy products, but she could easily think out loud towards having some fresh meat, I don't doubt that at all. Problem solving in that regard isn't quite her forte...or at least I am trying to demonstrate that, haha.

I like the cattle drive idea, Celeste wouldn't think of it. But if someone runs it by Joe IC, I have a feeling he'll jump at the chance to get both lawmen out of his town :thumbsup:

Awesome! Rusty actually would fall the bluff because he is young and inexperienced compared to his father, in a chain of wisdom it probably goes Rusty as Anakin, Jesse as Obi-Wan, and Harlen as Yoda. I will post the intro for him later, he will need water, and he might need a doc.

Oh, so Jesse gets to co-mentor Rusty? To add as a plot twist of sorts you could say Rusty and Jesse knew each other from before somehow.. :shrug:

just a suggestion :lightbulb: but ...

Jesse saw Rusty kill a man/woman ( you can decide why, were & who ) and chased him ( as a regulator ) but Rusty got away before Jesse could catch him....


EDIT: the dead person could be related / associated to someone in Town

Well I was thinking of something a little more positive. Like say, Rusty once had a hit on someone who Jesse was also pursuing. Someone tough. So they teamed up to kill him, and made a deal. Jesse gets the finger, while Rusty gets the ear.

Personally I prefer this idea.

We'll have to wait to see if Wolfman agrees.

Oh yeah and just a note, I really think all this communication is doing the RP a great deal of benefit. Keep it up folks, remember to bring up any and all RP-related issues here. No one man runs the show. It's a collective effort.

I know I'm not a host or mod or anything, but I'm pretty experienced, and know a good RP when I see one. I just want to make sure this one stays that way. Sorry for stealing your thunder, Skirt and Kettle.

I like your idea Holy, he would know about the anger the boy has too, Jesse and Harlan can try and help him with it, and Celeste too.
