Title: The Bttf Rpg Discussion Thread
Aaron - August 6, 2006 02:31 PM (GMT)
This is a thread to talk about the RPG, so that anyone involved can share their opinions and what they think of the game, and also to discuss the occurances of the game. Also to ask any questions as related to the game.
First, I wanted to ask how everyone was enjoying it and if anyone has any suggestions for improvement?
LonePineKath - August 6, 2006 03:08 PM (GMT)
Well all I have to say so far is that I absolutely love it! I can't wait to see what happens next! :D
discokev - August 6, 2006 03:46 PM (GMT)
Enjoying it so far, just wish everyone was in the same time zone so I don't miss half the action while I'm asleep!!

Glad you like it. Yep, Marty + Doc + terrorists = action-packed! But I'm sure that George and Lorraine are on their way to their own crazy adventures! :88:
BTW, does anyone have any suggestions for a possible new level-up attribute to add to "Time Travel Skill," "Intelligence," "Dexterity," and "Missions Accomplished?"
Hot_For_Dockie - August 6, 2006 06:17 PM (GMT)
I gotta say, some of your plot twists are absolutely nuts. :P Linda really needs to pick her boyfriends better. . . . :docs2:

I only wish I'd seen it earlier!
Better late than never though and I'm loving it! I'm totally addicted! :D
I love reading what everybody else is up to as well. It's great!
I take it we can improvise as needed? For example, George is already way braver than wimpy original George and I think Lorraine will be very impressed by this and feel the need to smarten herself up a bit, maybe even cut out the drinking!

Yeah, I noticed George is acting a lot more Lone Pine than Twin Pines already. Interesting. . . . :george:
(Of course, the Libyans are acting even stranger than George -- styrofoam?! :libyen: :D )
LonePineKath - August 6, 2006 07:41 PM (GMT)
I've just realised how lucky it is that George and I are on the same time zone. That'll give us more chance to interact. Shame I'm hardly going to see my own son though! (10 hours ahead) :rolleyes: Kids today... :lol:

LOL! I'm just waiting for the day when our son turns up home with an oil rig in his pocket!!!!! :lol:
LonePineKath - August 6, 2006 07:47 PM (GMT)
^ :lol: LOL!
Well at least he's our son, so hopefully that means we are rich too! :lol:
All I can say is he doesn't get that sort of behaviour from his Mother! Must be his Father's influence!! ;) :P
Hot_For_Dockie - August 6, 2006 07:50 PM (GMT)
*chuckle*
Though you guys make a good point. Maybe everyone should put down what time zones we're in, just so the other players know roughly when we'll be on. I'll go first:
Hot For Dockie
Plays Doc Brown
Time Zone: Eastern Standard
discokev - August 6, 2006 07:54 PM (GMT)
I'm on British Summer Time at the moment (nearly 9pm at the minute) and I'm George McFly in the game!
LonePineKath - August 6, 2006 08:11 PM (GMT)
^ Me too and I'm Lorraine :) What time is it for you now, HFD?
Hot_For_Dockie - August 6, 2006 08:16 PM (GMT)
4:16 P.M. -- I ended up staying up to 2 A.M. last night because of this. :)
LonePineKath - August 6, 2006 08:23 PM (GMT)
^ So you are 5 hours behind us then :)
At least we three will often be on together, hopefully! I'm usually on around 2-5pm your time, HFD, maybe 6pm.
Hot_For_Dockie - August 6, 2006 08:26 PM (GMT)
Ahh, good. And I overlap some with Shandy too (though that depends on whether it's a weekend or weekday -- can't stay up too late Monday-Thursday, I have work.)
LonePineKath - August 6, 2006 08:33 PM (GMT)
^ Yeah, if I want to overlap with Shandy, either he has to get up at 6am or I end up staying up past midnight. I have to be up earlyevery morning except Saurday though so I can't do that often, which is a shame!
The game seems to be working really well though. I'm always excited to see what's going to happen next!
Shandy - August 6, 2006 09:09 PM (GMT)
I'm in Australia. It's 709 AM here on Monday the 7th.
So you should be able to look at the time I posted this and judge from there.
Oh, and I am Loving this game! :88:
Aaron - August 6, 2006 10:39 PM (GMT)
I'm in the same time zone as HFD and I will try to be on the game whenever I have a spare moment. Right now I'm not too busy but in about a month when classes start I won't have as much time.
BTW, am I the only one who thinks this is turning into the world's greatest time traveling soap opera?
Hot_For_Dockie - August 7, 2006 01:53 AM (GMT)
Sounds more to me like a time-travel version of the X-Files. Hill Valley seems to be hosting a bit of a conspiracy here. O.o
Aaron - August 7, 2006 02:27 AM (GMT)
^ Perhaps more like Lost, in the sense that the story's being made up as it goes along, and is snowballing completely and utterly out of control with no end in sight! :D
Shandy - August 7, 2006 02:31 AM (GMT)
^ I think that's it's appeal, though :)
I love the twists, and the feeling that all the players are connected. Even though we are working towards different things.
Jennifer Mcfly - August 7, 2006 02:47 AM (GMT)
this is a realy fun game so far!

Hey, if this game becomes as popular as Lost I'm all for it! ;)
Really, I'm just throwing stuff out there to keep the story moving. It's certainly turning out much different than I expected, but in a fun, over-the-top sorta way! I'm really interested to see what happens once you all start time traveling. B)
Aaron - August 7, 2006 03:29 AM (GMT)
Also, at the time poor Jason dies I have only an hour passing in the game, but I'm thinking maybe I should speed it up. You guys think it would be better to have, say, 3 hours to have passed by now? 2? Or leave it at 1?
Hot_For_Dockie - August 7, 2006 03:40 AM (GMT)
It DOES seem a little oddly-compressed to me. Perhaps 2 hours.
Shandy - August 7, 2006 04:06 AM (GMT)
Yes, I think 2 would make more sense.
Let Jason be alive for a little longer to smell the flowers.
Jennifer Mcfly - August 7, 2006 04:29 AM (GMT)
posted my last reply for the night will post again tommrow goodnight evreyone.
Hot_For_Dockie - August 7, 2006 04:39 AM (GMT)
Night! I'll be up for a while yet (good thing). Seems that I have a conspiracy to try and unravel. I also have some plutonium to find -- I think it might be a good time to get out of the current time period.
Aaron - August 7, 2006 05:00 PM (GMT)
Okay, I updated the times in
the chronology. More than 2 hours and 10 minutes has officially passed in the game.
Also updated the
Leader Board if that's interesting to anyone. HFD's in the lead at the moment. :happydoc:
Jennifer Mcfly - August 7, 2006 05:17 PM (GMT)
should i post for jennifer or is too soon yet?

If you have any input on the current situation, like if you think Doc should trust the police officer, then go ahead and voice your opinion.
Doc will probably have to make the ulitmate decission to follow the guy or not.
Shandy - August 7, 2006 08:58 PM (GMT)
Thanks Aaron for the updated chronology and Character Event Chronology. I feel like I'm a part of the game now :)

Haha, I wouldn't call the
Character Event Chronology updated! The timeline one is bad enough!
Aaron - August 7, 2006 10:24 PM (GMT)
I know I made a tentative decision to not have any semi-main unclaimed characters in the game, but, eh screw it. For some reason no one else seems to want to join in on the fun. So maybe guys like Biff and Strickland will show up in the future under my control (unless anyone wants to play multiple characters, but that could be more trouble than it's worth).
Shandy - August 7, 2006 10:36 PM (GMT)
^ yeah, kind of like playing chess with yourself
"I Win!"
But I think it's a good idea to bring people like Strickland and Biff in.
And, I don't know, maybe Linda, if the need arises.
LonePineKath - August 7, 2006 10:41 PM (GMT)
I think it's a good idea to play them under your control, Aaron, until someone claims them.
Maybe Trank, Spotty or Flux might have a go when they see the game next time they're here?
bttf44 - August 7, 2006 11:25 PM (GMT)
Okay, I'll claim Biff. I held off on joining in, because I wasn't sure how to play the game.
Shandy - August 7, 2006 11:36 PM (GMT)
^ it's pretty easy.
You just say what you want to do and where you want to go.
And then Aaron will reply to your post and tell you your options.
:)
Welcome again!
