[1982] that was nice

Community imports went smoothly and quickly! Looks like everything is nicely settled over at DW now. We even have our shiny layout back! There's still some tweaking going on but it should all work.

http://grid-lined.dreamwidth.org/

http://grid-lined-ooc.dreamwidth.org/

Please go join both and continue tagging over there. If anything did not import, please let me know. I'll do a second one just to make sure no tags got missed. Any new posts should be made over there.

The only downside is that icons won't show up with the import unless you have them associated with an openID account... and even then it's questionable whether that will work. But all tags are there now!

I'm sorry for all the stress and drama that was caused by this, but hopefully we can make the transition easily now. If you do not wish to make a DW account, tagging can still be done with OpenID on any posts that exist or are made.

Because it seems we could use some random fluff...

Aaaalright.  As we've probably all noticed, LJ decided to enact it's broken-as-fuck changes to the commenting system.

I figured I'd just make a default/dummy thread here so we can all get the hang of the new system.  >:/  Guess since we're stuck with it, we should learn how to make the best of it, eh?

Plot Idea!

Alright, so I got a pretty positive reaction to this idea on Plurk, so here's the promised OOC post.

Hi, remember when I was the worst at de-hiatusing?

Well, the game I was at kind of... went comatose? Haha, well, so no activity there. I've just been meme-ing about with other accounts, but anywho. So like.

Feel free to glitch me in the face. XD;;;; But BUT Tron shenanigans sound like fun and I do miss you guys, sooo. Hey.

completely irrelevant but I managed to get a sweet ass electric guitar with my last paycheck haha

Permissions Post (general)
Rinzler - surrender
notglitching
Hey peoples. So, plurkery has once again led to strange and unusual opinions. One of which is that a permissions post would be really useful for some of us.

tl;dr explanation below the cut...Collapse )

tl;dr, it'd help a lot if you fill out the little form and comment with it. This isn't a plotting post; it's a reference so people can look up what you as a player are okay with before say, tagging an unhappy Rinzler at you. Thanks to all!



If you've got more than one character, just double the copy-paste. Again, thanks muchly to all of you willing to fill this out; it could help a lot for some of us.

An update
Surgery went much better and more quickly than expected, and less than 30 hours after surgery, she was already back on solid food.
There was a minor setback overnight/early this morning, in that she was having seizures brought on by noise and light, this was because the anti-seizure medication she takes daily hasn't been administered to her since she was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday. But they've got her back on it now, and another one to make up for the lost time.
Other than that, prognosis and outlook are both good.

Hello everyone, Sterling here, just posting to let you all know that tomorrow morning (8:45am, PST, Wednesday Nov 2nd) my mum is going in for brain surgery, her third invasive and fourth total brain surgery.

She hates them, as would anyone. But she's optimistic, as is her surgeon, and pretty much everyone else around her. Mostly I'm just posting this here because if anyone has good vibes to send her way, I'm sure she'd appreciate it, and also to let you all know that I might be tense/spazzy/not-here for the next while, depending on how things go.

I'll do my best to keep you all updated, if anyone wants to talk to me directly I'm usually on AIM: JediGorse, and I'm pretty much always available by emails: HexenmeisterNarrin{at}Gmail{dot}com.

Acronym competition winding down
Default
voiceless_anon
Okay, Grid_Liners! The acronym competition will be closing at 12 o'clock midday, EST, on Tuesday 1st November. (That's 4pm or 16:00 GMT, currently.) Any late entries should be submitted before then, as anything that comes in afterwards won't be added to the poll. Have fun!

You wait years for a muse, and then four come along at once . . .
solarnaut
Hi, all! This is Crystal, aka Anon-mun, with another new muse. This is Yori who, despite the icons, is a fully fledged Legacy-era program. She's also got a very different backstory from our lovely current Yori, so say hello all over again :D

Going to be away for a bit

Hey guys. This is Flynn/Tron/Clu mun here.  I'll be leaving tomorrow to go on holiday so I might be a little slow replying for a while. I do have limited net where I am going but it will be on a dongle and it's pretty slow. I'll do my best but I can't promise I'll be able to reply. Anyway, I'm loving the new Abaraxus post. Should be good :D

See you all soon. Back on Sunday.

Um, hello. My name is Angel, and thanks to notglitching I have been enabled over here with one (1) Abraxas/Jalen muse.
I haven't introed to the main comm yet, mostly because I'm still getting some RL things squared away, but I am very excited to be here!

Please Note: I have a permissions post up on this journal, and would love for any, and everybody to make use of it!

I don't use AIM much, but you can almost always reach me on Plurk. My timeline is friend's locked, however, so if you'd like me to add you please let me know!

Looking forward to playing with all of you soon!


Oh my god we're back again
legacyguardian
O hai there! I think I might actually be able to breathe now. As you may have noticed from the several weeks old I'm sorry! tags in your inbox. I didn't actually expect, when I got back from Dragon*Con, that it would be that hard to catch back up to everything again.

ANYWAY. So, hi, it's sys_operator!Clu/legacywarrior!Tron/Alan's mun here (along with, um, a couple other Tronpups who see even less of the light of day than these boys, these days), coming back from an unannounced slowatus. And trying to remember what all plots I was involved in. If I remember right there was going to be

a) some stuff with Alan and Flynn building a holding area for Rinzler(s) that seems to be still under discussion and not yet playing out

and b) something I just heard about involving Castor, Rinzler, and Clu playing dueling shenanigans?

Let there be plottiness! And I'm sorry about the incredibly slowness of me, you guys, I'll try and give you a heads up next time so if there are any plots going on they can go on without me/in slow time/whatever needs to happen. And. Stuff. Things. Still kind of zonked due to prepping for two incoming trade shows on top of each other and therefore not likely actually getting a weekend this weekend, but somehow everything else has eased up and I'm able to catch up on tags.

/tl;dr

I'm still alive don't you worry! Hehe

Hey all!

I don't know if anyone noticed - but my usual quick tagging has slowed lately due to upped hours at work, and the fact that on my days off I've been looking for a new job. XD I actually have a good chance at landing a full time job that's a little closer to my art background which I'm excited about. I got my second interview for that coming up today (Wednesday). I figured I'd better give a heads up to everyone just in case people were wondering if I was still around!

This doesn't mean that I'm on a hiatus or that I can't play! I'm just not as prompt as I normally am with answering my tags. They all save in my inbox so I can keep track so none will be forgotten or left out. Wednesday and Thursday are pretty full schedule wise - so I aim to keep Friday  open so I can just write, draw and be lazy on my day off! (it's been go go go for a couple weeks XD) I'll keep you all posted!!

See ya in the games!

. . . Naaaaah.

Okay! What we need here are some better suggestions for that acronym.

This is a mini-competition dreamed up by Copper (Drive-mun) and I. Post suggestions here, and after a week or so we'll put up a poll for people to vote on their favourites. If there are lots of suggestions, we'll winnow them down over the course of more than one poll.

Whoever wins will get a drabble from me about whichever of their muses that they choose, and three icons from Copper for whichever of their muses they like - the drabble and icons can be for the same muses or different ones, so if you want icons for one and a drabble for another, no problem!

Well, what are you waiting for? Get to the acronyms!

Edit: Yes, you can post more than one suggestion if you happen to have plenty of good ones.

Sam is new to all this
Worried
flynn_sam
Hello everyone. This is Sam's mun here. I haven't introduced him to G_L yet so this would be a good time to say hi. I was thinking of having Sam being rezzed into the Grid by laser 'accidentally' while looking through some of Flynn's files. He gets totally bewildered as he often does. He's a good guy really, and Sam is just Sam. I'd be interested in plotting with anyone if anyone wanted to talk with my Sam. Grid adventures are what he likes best even if sometimes he gets confused where he is and what's going on.

That's about it. Nice to be here.

Possible Rinzler plottiness
Two discs
discsof_stealth
Ok, so I thought of possibly introducing Rinzler into the system. He's a new Rinzler so doesn't really know what's going on apart from being rezzed in from his own system. He doesn't have any objectives as such, perhaps finding others like himself might help. The other *coughcough* Rinzlers might be able to guide him somehow. I just thought perhaps I could plot for Rinzler's rezz in and his aimless wandering might be for nothing afterall. I thought about him rezzing from his system during a light cycle match when he was chasing Sam and Quorra in the Arena. Just before they got away and zoomed off into the Outlands to find Flynn.

He was on orders from Clu to derezz them both but failed. So, after that moment bam! He gets rezzed into the new system. I just thought perhaps he could plot with anyone just to get the ball rolling. Just an idea. May be posting with him sometime soon when I get everything together.

Blame Plurk for this...
[Emotion] » Neutral
whatsauser
...because certain people (you know who you are) enabled me to bring this character here. This is Eden, an ISO that was beginning to emerge from the Sea when it was poisoned. She derezzed before ever making it to land, meaning that she is a complete blank slate now that the Portal has seen fit to rerezz her into this Grid. She has no memories to go on, and no real knowledge of the Grid. In short, she is all the innocence and naivety ever. She also tires easily for a program as a result of coming into contact with the virus, so try not to break her on her first day, mmkay?

(And for those not on Plurk, this is Copper, Drive and gang's player.)

New Quorra is new!
Awkwaaard.

GREETINGS PROGRAMS.

Uh, so, I'm Rhi, and I believe I know quite a few of you already. To those I don't: Hi! I play a Quorra. Obviously. I've been floating around games for a while but now I've decided to give G_L a try! :D

Just to make things interesting, Q here has memories right up to the End of Line fight and getting her arm lopped off. After that, she's a blank slate. I may update her at a later point to the end of the movie but for now, that's all she wrote. Muahaha.

I'll post her waking up in the Grid!Arcade first. Feel free to have programs and Users alike stumble across the confused wee ISO.

I am very addable via Plurk and contactable via AIM (Quorralated) and email, so harass me! Please! I'm only just getting back into the swing of things RP-wise, so I'm open to plottage and whatnot. All of the plottage. :D

Anyway, that's me! Any questions? /hides

ETA: Q's IC intro is up! Have at! :D

All the victory, it is mine. \o/

Hello brograms! Guess who got their computer fixed. ME! Turns out that it really was just a power supply failure and NOT a total system meltdown. My Grid system is back to full operating status and now it is time for me to TAG ALL THE THINGS once I get caught up in all the things I have missed on the interwebs since I have been gone.

Also, I went and joined this mysterious Plurk thing people keep talking about here. My username over there is PhoenixDown. ADD ME. :D

What the heck has Tron been up to?
[game] p-p-p-poker face, [game] listening
fight4theusers
Since some people were wondering, and since some of this happened in the waaay old comm, I'm giving an update for what this Tron here has been trying to do in the system.

He started out by taking over the Arena management, and tried to bring the Games back into the way Flynn had originally designed them... as they're seen in the Betrayal comic. Hence, no more derezzing to finish matches, and if it looks like a match is GOING to end that way, he'll put a quick stop to it. (I notice that some people have written matches ending with derezzing... this is not happening in these Games as they are now. Tron would shut them down.)

With managing the Arena, Tron found himself taking on more and more admin responsibilities of the Grid as a whole, as well as organizing the Security forces. Poor program is taking on far too much, and it's starting to show... he was never written as an admin, and he's barely able to hang on.

Future plot idea: He sees the Portal as the source of the problems with the system, and may attempt to do something... drastic to solve the problem. (Obviously it would not work, as I would not do anything game-changing, but it's just a thought.) I know other people have various plots going on right now, so this is on hold at the moment, but. Just a thought for later. >:D

Programs have been disappearing; there's unrest out there...
Rinzler - weapon
notglitching
Hey guys: PLOTTING POST.

So. Team Rinzler has been doing stuff. Which partly involves nefarious plotting, partly involves terrible unique ideas and partly involves just straight up murder. Y'know. When they're bored.

HOWEVER. The grid is filled with a strange number of do-gooder types who inexplicably object to them freeing up system resources. There will be intervention.

tl;dr, purpose of this plurk widget is to explain to everyone ooc exactly what's been going on, what they've likely noticed, and (if wanted), create a place for people to discuss how their characters will organize/respond to the Orange-Red Menace.

Hi, all! I'm taking a brief hiatus from now until Sunday - I'll have some internet time today (Wednesday), but I don't know how much I'll get after today. I'm off on holiday deep in the sticks, and there's no guarantee of having wi-fi where I'm going. I should be back sometime on Sunday.

This affects Anon, Fire, and Krypton. Sorry for holding up any threads, but hopefully (given my delays in tagging anyway) it won't be too noticeable.

See you later!

Plotty things! :3
Clu with Bit
tanks4thememory
Because I'm lame and don't have AIM/plurk yet! X3 This is primarily for the muns of Tron tronja307020, Lizor disc_warrior, and Anon voiceless_anon, but anybody can comment who wants to. :3

OK! You all may or may not be aware, depending ont what threads you've been reading, that Clu's been planning a hacker-type mission to hunt down a few of the hostile Rinzlers' weapons caches. Flynn creator_man has already been told about and approved the plan ICly, but made Clu promise that he wouldn't go alone.

Which of course, is where Tron, Lizor, and Anon come in. Who else is Clu gonna call in for potentially dangerous work than the only three security programs he really knows? :3

But I'm rather stuck on how to have him approach them. Should he seek them out individually and tell them about the plan? Or just send a message to all three with the details, asking if they want in? And would Anon really have time to join in on the main part of such a hunt, or would he more likely be just be in on it so security knows what's up, and can take care of it if/when they find something?

So what do you guys think? Any ideas?  Thoughts? Either about this or about the 'mission' itself? :3 Just trying to get the lightcycle rolling, as I figure this mini-plot will be a good way to kill some time until the big kidnapping plot can happen. :3
