I'm going crazy with how awesome this'd be, but I'll probably not be able to play due to timezones and lack of time. And also because I tend to get to fall into all SORTS of failure modes when trying to roleplay online and ruin things for everyone. :( Fuuuuuuuuuuu

If you can find a way that works regardless of timezone and that keeps things slow, I'll be all over this. Some other suggested play by post, which might work but don't tend to work well with systems intended for face-to-face.

P.S: damn you for linking TV tropes

The current provisional plan is for you, me, Raw_Power, and Konkvistador to play a game of Shock: using Play-by-Post.

Sounds awesome!

Where? Spamming LW with it doesn't seem like a good idea.

I'm trying to set up a play-by-post with Konkvistador. Care to join?

Am I also invited?

Certainly! Everybody who wants to play is invited up to maybe 5 or 6 people. More than that and it will get unweildly quickly.

I have the desire to join this, especially if it's slow. But if there are more interested I will opt out.

I've heard Google Wave, if it's still available, is excellent for internet RPing.

Welcome to the game! I'll PM you a link to the forum we're playing on.

I have RPed on Google Wave, and it was indeed excellent. However, it is dead. :(

Why? It seemed fairly redundant at the beginning, but I'm fairly certain it could ahve come on its own and supplant silly Facebook...

yea, wave was great... but sadly technical excellence and innovation is not sufficient for something like that to succeed.
