The OOC Thread

[Midas]

I am interested in joining... However I have zero knowledge of how FBL works so I am a little lost here... Should I just keep a eye out and follow others lead and wing it?

That's what I was gonna say!

Go into a thread that you want to apply for a job for, and tell them so. when Powers responds he's responding as that character. It's up to you to respond to everything pretty much. We're playing roles. In this case Powers is assuming the role of Game master and does all the NPCs, you as the player assume the role of a club president and make decisions. I mean you can quickly skim over some FBL threads, but what Rob, Prancy, Stoner, and I have done is pretty much what is expected in this format of game.

Thanks bud

Do we respect boundaries and not apply for a club if someone else has?

[Justin]

Hmmm...there are only ten clubs so I would say go for it. Looks as though Powers is doing an interview process so the owner might like you better.

[T-Bonizzle]

So far we're respecting boundaries, but there are still two clubs unanswered, so certainly you can get first crack at something.

[Mike Powers]

It's an iterview process. Feel free to pop into any thread. The owners have things that they're looking for, some obvious, some not. So even if it looks like someone has a job locked up, feel free to apply.

Glad to see new blood interested! Ask any and all questions, I and other vets of this style of game are willing to help.

Also as an FYI, I'm heading into work. If I have downtime here, I'll try to update threads. So if it's staggered oddly throughout the night, that's why.

And Fnord....I'll get my FWL pick in soon!

[Midas]

So could or should we apply for different clubs?

[Fnord]

hahaha, I was gonna say that about your pick!  So it's just posting and posting more? I don't need any actual skill to do this?

[Mike Powers]

@Midas - Feel free to apply for any club you want, regardless of if anyone is already there.  The hiring process is NOT first come, first hired.  It is an interview, and I am prepared to speak to multiple people at the same time in the threads.


@Fnord - At it's core you are basically managing personalities.  Each character in the TCW universe has an individual personality, and it is up to you to work with them to reach their maximum potential.  You don't need to have any special skills or knowledge to play. 

[Mike Powers]

Also, I highly recommend reading the "How TCW Works" thread, even for guys with FBL experience.  Although the game is structured similarly, there are new wrinkles in there.  If something is left out, or vague, or just plain doesn't make sense, feel free to ask for clarification!
