Snakes and Ladders: Now Serving Ducks To Each New Player

EDIT: Cookies for new players. How can you pass that up?

Hey there! Nan here, putting up another of these Infernal (pun not intended) recruiting threads because the last one was poorly phrased and is now well beyond editing.

Rather than presenting you with a link and a very enthusiastic GO FORTH, I'm actually going to pitch my roleplay to you, so give me just a minute, kiddies! If you'd rather find out the info for yourself, though, just go here...

...and that should give you something to occupy your afternoon. Or evening! Or whatever time of day it is on whatever planet you're reading this from.

Wait a second, Nan! What are you on about?!
Why, a roleplay, of course. Why else would I be here? What other reason would I have to grace this forum with my ridiculous presence? In short, I'm here to tell you why you should encourage your Internet addiction and spend some time online with our darling little troupe rather than going out into the world to hang out with your real friends. Don't worry, I promise, you'll like it. It's messy.

Okay, okay, but it better be really messy. What's the concept?
Demons!

Ah, wait, no, stop reaching for the salt! That's the concept, not a warning shout. The roleplay is set in Hell, and focuses entirely on the life and times of the demons that reside within--in a sort of black-comedy demons-are-people-too kind of way. We're starting at a low level of power, in a place called the Sandlot, where young demons devour damned souls and duke it out for survival, and damned souls scramble to devour the five hearts(I told you it was messy) required to become demons themselves (and therefore remove their names from the menu.)

There are also positions available for characters of higher power, if you think you'd like to play a more impressive demon and invite these ridiculous, incompetent demon babies under your wing. That requires PM approval, but I'm a pretty lax GM. If you're willing to work with me and your writing is up to scratch, then you'll have a lot of wiggle room to make a character that's right for you.

Yeah, but what's the plot?!
Ahh, never satisfied, are you? But that's what I like about you lot, always hungry for information. Brace yourselves, loves--this answer is something of a bumpy one.

There isn't a plot.

That's not to say that there won't be in due time. I've noticed those sorts of things tend to coalesce. But the roleplay revolves around character driven and user generated content, such as subplot ideas that you, the player, submit. Right now there's something of an overlying redemption/damnation theme going on (it's Hell, what did you expect?), but characters may make motions towards any sort of end--even world domination, if they find the Overworld to be unsatisfactory. Or if they're just plain power hungry.

If that's going to be a problem for you, I suppose you should turn back now--but if you're willing to give it a shot, then keep reading!

Alright, crazy lady, what can I expect in this "super cool roleplay of awesome doom"?
You know, my friend, I'm really glad you asked that. Here, let me give you what I consider to be a handy-dandy list, filled with magic, glitter, and wonderment, to ease your troubled mind. This roleplay includes, but is not limited to, the following features:

1. A fully developed world that will unfold before your eyes as your characters and the rest begin to explore it.
2. Active OOC discussion with super mega fun people (who know what they're doing).
3. Reasonable post lengths (between 300 and 1500 words of excellent prose for any given post).
4. A helpful GM who thinks about too many things.
5. Detailed character crits upon request.
6. Ridiculous banter.
7. Lighthearted black comedy (wait, what?).
8. A reasonable system of character growth and power levels, without all the math and silliness.
9. A free duck. I've just sent it, but to save on postage, I've let it fly on its own, so there's no telling when it will show up. Be patient. The duck knows your heart.
10. A free-use chatroom for quick OOC discussion and silliness.
11. Helpful overuse of OOC threads.
12. And most importantly, a good time!

And anything you (yes, YOU) can bring to the table! We're also having a swimming pool put in, so, you know, there's that.

So come on down. We're waiting for you. We've got all the best composers here in Hell.

You know you want to.

We'll be seeing you there, yeah? Yeah. I thought so.

Thanks all!

Fantastic Roleplayers Wanted thread! Best of luck to you! I know I have to check back in with this story eventually ..

Much appreciated! No hurry on checking back in--while we'd love to have you about, the roleplay is moving at about the speed of "All our RPers are in college and don't always have time to post OH NO" right now.

Now if only folks were looking for this sort of roleplay. ALAS.

Haha, I'm in college as well. Definitely feel ya. GOOD LUCK. BE AWESOME. BREAK ALL OF THE LEGS.

Bumping because it's been just under a month.

Alright, kids, finals time is approaching--which means that in the next few weeks, some of you will have time to pick up a new roleplay! So, uhh, you should definitely pick ours. We have violence and murder.

And uhh.

Butts! :P

Seriously, guys--ducks, butts, cookies, and murder. I don't know about you, but that sounds like the greatest roleplay of all time. OF ALL TIME.

It's pretty swell. Really. Join and be merry.

We also have group ping pong tournaments, if that sways anyone.

I would totally be interested in this! I'm in college also, but usually I'm pretty good about logging in at least once a day and posting at least once a week, if nothing else. I'm checking out the RP tab right now!
