Just an idea I had... (Foxcroft Preparation Thread)

[Felina Noctis]

Hi guys and girls,

as I'm going to have an English exam soon, and as English is one of the most common (and important) languages, I wondered, wether there would be some of you interested in an English RpG.
I have kind of an idea, maybe sort of reality, free written (so I'm not going to master a lot, I've got to other RpGs going on). For advanced Players, who would like to train their English, maybe?
My goal is to improve my English and help you improve yours. Everyone is asked to correct spelling or grammar mistakes that occur.
Just tell me, who is interested (at least five players, open end) and then we can go on discussing a topic.
I could also offer French, if asked.

Attention This Threat as well as the game threat should be written in English. If you don't know a word or expression, look it up or use another one!

Hope to get a feedback soon!

[Felicat]

I'd like to participate. That's a great idea, Felina.

[Peace]

why not, I don´t think that I´m able to correct someone else but I would like to raise my english on an higher level. And if you think I could be called an advanced player, I would like to take part.

[Felina Noctis]

Welcome Felicat, welcome Peace!
As long as you are able to write in whole sentences and maybe more than just one or two, I will gladly accept you as an advanced player.

[Foxx]

Third one on the team would be me .

I really like the idea and am looking forward to it, though I don't have a clue yet, what the game will basically be about apart from writing in English.

[Felina Noctis]

@ Peace and Foxx... I'm quite confused with your prepositions allready... is it really "to raise sth. on a higher level" oder "raise sth. to..."? I tried to look it up. Also the expression "on the team" maybe "in the team"? I don't know, sounds strange... Thanx god, I decided agains being a teacher... Confused allready!

But I know the counting... we are four, not three! Because I'm going to be a regular player as well.

My basic idea was something like going to the same Highschool / University. No Mary Sues or Gary Stews, but everyday people, bothering with everyday problems like akne or the freak from Math class.
Mixture of Blog, Conversation, and so on... Something really different to what we play usually. I would like to be the man detesting bitch (that's what I was in Highschool, so I'm trained), maybe Goth Freak... something like that.
We can play in any country and School System you wish, but I like the American Highschoolsystem because we could have several courses together, making up others on our own.... And I think every German pupil has been fed up with the British and American School System, so we know the topic.

Example:
"Man, Math was so boring today. Saw that nerd Foxx again, allways telling the right answers... he pisses me off, really... but then I found out that my friend Felicat and I take part in the same Artclass. Great!"

I mean, we know each other, more or less, but this is to be a mixture between diary stile and active playing... Thoughts, wishes, everything you like to chair with the other players!
Try to use a appropriate writing style. Agressive might fit to someone like me, but someone like Foxx might use nice expressions!

Please tell me, if you like the idea basically, or what you would like... We can also start of with the four of us, because others can join any time. In real life you meet new people everyday, too!

[Foxx]

So I'm a nerd and a nice guy - well, well...

[Felina Noctis]

Mhm... well, you make me feel bad every examperiod because you show me, how lazy I am and how much other students learn --> Nerd!
And you are so perfect that it is a miracle, why you talk to someone like me --> Nice guy!

[Peace]

the thing is that I use English more or less just for writing songs, so the words and sentences have to be strong and have to sound well. AndI´ve written the word wrong, I meant to rise.



I like the story idea you explained

[Felina Noctis]

Sorry, Peace, but that wouldn't make sense either! Rising can't be used that way you intend...

"The sun ist rising" but "to raise a fond". I forgot, what you call it... but another example is: "I'm rising from the grave", "I raise a child on my one"

I don't think you can rise sth. ... Can you?

[Foxx]

And you are so perfect that it is a miracle, why you talk to someone like me --> Nice guy!

"I wonder why", or "it is a miracle that".

But thanks anyway.

[Felina Noctis]

Told ya, you're perfect making me feel bad about my lack of knowledge
Could I say "It is a miracle to me, why..." or is it still "that" and I'm just a German dumphead running into the "false-friends"-trap? (Talking 'bout English, not you, so don't you dare feel accused!)

But the two of us could discuss all that in the messanger, with less afford. So would you bother to tell us, if you like the idea, or if you are just stunned with my opinion about your personality (which should be known to you for quite a time now )

What about the others? Do you like the idea of the highschool? Of 'course you can chose, what you want to be: "Wannabe", "Highschoolqueen", "Bitch", "Leader of spelling group", "Bully", "Freak", "Nerd", "Mr. Nice Guy", "Freak", "Goth", "Punk" or a mixture or whatever you expect to meet in an highschool.

Or do you have other ideas that you'd prefer? We can decide by majority (me having twice as many votes as all of you together )

[Blue Lion]

I would like to take a role in this game, I have a high knowledge of vocables, but several problems considering grammar/tenses.

I like the idea of highschool although I'm not too much into that, except from what I got watching this or that show on TV.

My role would be Freak/Goth as that's the only one in the school system I ever played and never knew how to take another role, so maybe there is a little "wannabe" within, too.

[Felina Noctis]

Hey, I was the Goth/Freak! There's no place for two of us *harharhar*

My Zodiac says "You don't like rivals and probably you ask yourself why you haven't sacrificed them to Satan yet." Not kidding!

Well, ok, than we might have a Cat-Fight about it... Or just be in the same gang or different age or something like that.

Could also play the manhating bitch... but that's to close to real life, wouldn't have to play a lot, no challenge!
Hey, so I should play "the most beautifull and popular girl at school" but that's a Mary Sue (or not really, 'cause that girls suck!)

Welcome to the game Blue Lion.

So, if everyone else accepts HighSchool... I've got the Charakter in my head allready!
I will look for American Highschools in Big Citys, with a Campus plan and Timetables. So we don't need to invent anything We can decide between Big City or Small Town, between Boarding School (which would imply obligatory afterscholl activitys) and days school.

Can't wait to start! I'm so looking forward to write freestyle with some of my friends! (Yeah, I mean you guys!)

[Foxx]

Hey, I was the Goth/Freak! There's no place for two of us *harharhar*

I always thought those of your kind were tolerant...

Well, ok, than we might have a Cat-Fight about it...

How very goth-minded.

So, if everyone else accepts HighSchool... I've got the Charakter in my head allready!

I'm fine with the highschool concept. Consider me in!

[Felicat]

High School's fine with me. Boarding school would maybe best so we can hang out with each other for whole days...or plan to kill each other. *grins*
Hey, I know! I'll play a little satanist. Maybe manhating? Nah, better not. Most of my characters have already problems with men, no need for another one.

I'm sure the play will be lots of fun.

[Peace]

for sure I can... It´s not my weak, it is raise, like raise you fist for heavy metal!!

I´ll play the wannabe-rockstar-badass-ladysman-dude.
some groupies around??

[Felina Noctis]

Well, let's call the game "Gothik Highschool" (We are three of five).
I love being a Vamp, on special occasions, but usually I'm known as the "nice, allways smiling, polite, interactive, motivated, beloved pupil" to the teachers and other adults at school and as "nasty, manhating, crazy, freaky bitch" to most of the students. My friends describe me as "crazy, lovely, too much too fast talking, positive freaky" something. My Gothfriends at "terrible entuthiastic" or "Lovely pessimistic and depressiv".
So I'm a mixture
~~~~~
Eeeek We Love you Peace, you are our

[Felicat]

I´ll play the wannabe-rockstar-badass-ladysman-dude.
some groupies around??

Sure. Where did I leave my knife? It'd like to meet your throat.

[Peace]

k, any bodyguards around?

[Foxx]

Hey, I know! I'll play a little satanist.

Two goths, one satanist. Oh my... sounds like I will be the outcast!

But as we are supposed to correct each other...

Most of my characters have already problems with men, no need for another one.

I'm not exactly sure if it's a real mistake, but "already have" it should be! "Have already" is a very german word order.

I'm sure the play will be lots of fun.

Hey, we're part of a play now - I always wanted to be an actor!

(It's "game". A "play" is a "Bühnenstück". )


@ Felina: Watch your double "l"s. Both, "beautiful" and "always" are supposed to have only one "l" within.

[Felina Noctis]

Outcast you will be! *hiss* No, I thought you would freak out, but if you don't want me to be a Goth in RL, maybe, at least, just a little? *please*

Ah well... I will stick to the nice girl, nose stuck in a book. The person I've been and will be for ever... Looser!

Ok, enough of chatting around, let's get the party started!
~~~~~
Age 15/16 I suggest. First love, first driving lessons, first drinking... a good age for being at a boarding school!

[Blue Lion]

I could delete goth, it's not that gothy anyway, more a little nerdy but hey XD Black is totally IN this winter!

Hey stop!

In america there is totally NO first drinking at the age of 16

[Felina Noctis]

Yeah, sure... no teenage pregnancy, no drinking, sure!

Schools I found and liked are

Foxcroft Acadamy in Maine

The Storm King School in New York State

The White Mountain School in New Hampshire

But most boarding schools I found are in the countryside. That's ok for me... If you want a big city, we can make one up, as well... But I'm not going to do it!

[Blue Lion]

I would like New York, as I know best about that city, but... otherwise we would have LOTS of black and wanna-be-black red haired children who try to be badass XD
