Welcome to Ryslig's test drive meme! If you're considering apping here, this is where you can try your characters out in the game's setting. A few things to note:
You can only app ONE character per round so choose wisely.
We now have a Quick Game Facts that simplifies the basic information about the game. Good if you want to see what the game is at a glance!
Lots of people have asked good questions on the FAQ, so do take a look.
The reserve date has been announced (it was changed to the 30th to allow a maximum number of people compared to a Friday).
Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample!
NEW! Players with characters already in the game can earn up to a maximum of 3 coins by replying to potential character threads! You will need to have your normal 20 comment AC in the game. You cannot use this to go over the bonus 10 coins per month total, but you can use it if you are missing some threads to reach that coin total. Same rules as normal bonuses apply.
Sample scenarios:
SCENARIO ONE: So you've just arrived, fresh out of the hospital, and already the natives are trying to get on your good side. Offers of food, shelter and other luxuries in return for hoping you don't eat them. They even have some helpful pamphlets to share with you. "How To Deal With Changes", "Alternatives to Human Flesh", "What to Expect When You're Expecting (to turn into a monster)" are all great pamphlets. There's even some detailing certain monsters, and the changes they go through.
Among these however, are some... not so helpful ones. "Bunnyipyips And You", "Axe Thief Axehounds," and "So you're becoming a Fur Bearing Trout" among others.
SCENARIO TWO: You've become hopelessly lost in Lager Woods. Paths don't seem to lead where you remember them leading, and you feel as if you're going around in circles. Childlike giggling can be heard from no direction in particular. Suddenly, you stumble upon another character, who seems to be just as lost as you! Perhaps you can find a way out together. Or maybe they want you for lunch...
SCENARIO THREE: You've heard about the fog, but you've never seen it before. Now, the mist surrounds you. Barely able to see before you, you need to get home - and fast. It's far too dangerous in this situation.
SCENARIO FOUR: The time has come and you've found yourself becoming a monster. Is the change instant, or gradual? Are you familiar enough with monsters to know what's happening, or is it a complete shock? NOTE: Feel free to pick any monster type for this prompt, but note that you may not get the same one in game.
okAY THEN, i GIVE UP, oN GUESSING YOUR IDENTITY, bECAUSE i DIDN'T CARE THAT MUCH ANYWAY, aND ALSO THINK THAT YOU ARE WRONG, bECAUSE i THINK THAT i AM EMPLOYING GOOD FORESIGHT IN MY ATTEMPTS TO KEEP PEACE, wITH THE VILLAGERS, aND ALSO GETTING A TAILOR,
That was a short-lived attempt, but really, I didn't expect more from you. It is no matter. My identity is of no concern. I don't disagree about getting a tailor for your unique situation. Yet if it is true that in order to survive, we must eat their kind, peace between us is impossible. They will always fear us.
oKAY BUT, yOU KNOW MY NAME, aND i FEEL LIKE, iT'S DISINGENUOUS FOR YOU TO KNOW WHO i AM AND FOR ME NOT TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE, bUT ALSO, i DISAGREE, bECAUSE, iF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, iT WASN'T THAT DIFFERENT ON aLTERNIA, iF YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS, mR vANILLAmILKSHAKE, (i AM ASSUMING YOU DO, aND iF YOU DON'T THEN, fUCK YOUR LIMITED CULTURAL UNDERSTANDINGS,) iT'S SORT OF LIKE, eVEN IF YOU FEAR THEM YOU CAN BE NICE, aCTUALLY IT'S PROBABLY BETTER TO BE NICE, wHEN THEY'RE AFRAID, sINCE THAT MEANS THEY WON'T WANT TO FIGHT BACK, oR MAKE IT DIFFICULT, aND BEING NICE TO THEM MAKES THAT FEAR NOT AS BAD, uNLESS, yOU DO A NICE THING AND THEN A MEAN THING TO THAT SAME PERSON, wHICH IS JUST RUDE, aND ALSO MAKES YOU A BAD PERSON,
I'm far more genuine than the majority of the company you keep, Nitram. And my understanding of Alternian culture is far more vast, precise, and accurate than yours, I assure you. If anyone has limited understanding of Alternian culture between the two of us, it really would be you. Which is why I must point out that your reasoning does not even fit Alternia's cultural standards. The troll race was built on controlling others with fear, under a kill or be killed mentality. I'm sure Miss Serket has taught this lesson to you countless times by now. Though I must point out I had said I do not disagree with your suggested actions. However, it is naive to think that kindness alone would deter their fear or their hatred, especially if we still must prey upon them.
