Crossed Swords Discussion

[BrookSkimmer]

Just a reminder to heed my request about how you respond to your results. I don't want the good mood of this tournament to be spoiled by over scrutinizing. That said, you all have made excellent posts. Seeing the improvement from the first tourney is so great!! You guys have come a long way and it makes me proud to be a role player here!

(I thought I posted this already, but I can't find that post now, so....)
All day yesterday, I was constantly checking to see if the theme polls had gone up yet or not. I got really excited when they finally went up!
Then, I listened to the music.......
I CAN'T DECIDE!!!!!! Great choices everyone. They all have something that fits the theme.

[BrookSkimmer]

Yep it's hard to pick as lots of them fit really well!

[Rainshadow]

  Wow!  I'm amazed I got such a good score!  Good job, everyone!

[BloodGullet]

wow, great music selections everyone! -- I totally agree with Ice, very hard to pick just one! I could see having another tab open and putting the music on loop while reading and posting - very cool idea!

[Romsca]

When can we start posting again?

[BrookSkimmer]

The new round will be up probably on the 4th.

drat, after submitting my entry for the theme song for the BloodSpine, I remembered another even more epic theme - the soundtrack to Conan The Barbarian  -- listen here:

Thanks  for the help Romsca!

[Icefire]

We could probably still add it in the soundtrack if you can think it fits with a scene...
Just a reminder, I'm looking for individual character themes as well as music for specific scenes. Pm me if you ideas! Note: I would prefer if music for scenes is limited to scenes we've already played. If you have a song you think will fit a future scene...hold that thought.

Ok everyone, here's the deal.

I work at a Christian kid's camp in the east county San Diego. This week we are running our refugee camp where we see kids from all over the world who are placed with their families as refugees in a part of San Diego called City Heights. I am the program director of our camp, Indian Hills Camp, which means I make sure all the fun stuff like zip line, and hayrides, and games, and swimming happen during the day. It's a busy job for sure, especially at camps like this.

I'm telling you this because I need until this weekend to get Round 2 going. I'm sorry for the delay, but on this one I need to put all these great camper kids first. My post to start off the second round will be much better and I'll have more time to read and keep up with your posts if I wait until this weekend. My job gets a lot less busy next week!

Thanks for your understanding and cheers to the new round coming this weekend!

I'm also going to have a writing contest off shoot oft he tournament starting soon. You will be able to write a six hundred word or less story involving your character from this tournament. The stories will be judged and winners will be chosen by audience participation. If you want to get writing on that for now, go for it! The actual thread for this contest will also be coming up this weekend!

I also have not forgot about art for the first mini contest... this weekend!

[Dannflower Reguba]

Having worked at camp myself, that's completely understandable. 

[Icefire]

Have fun, Brook! That sounds like a crazy job and a fun job at the same time!

Question about the story thing...I'm assuming it's supposed to be set before the tournament and we shouldn't use the other tournament characters, right?

....Another thing we can do while we wait is finish up the round one part of the soundtrack.  

[Rainshadow]

  Wow, sounds like you're gonna have a crazy yet fun week!  Good luck! 

  @Ice:  I believe the story we'd write is the backstory of our characters.  Correct, Brook?

[BrookSkimmer]

Yep, anything that happened before the role play took place works for the story.
