Ahahaha yes let's see it! XD

<blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>rosebarks</dt><dd>&nbsp;</dd></dl><div>What if the confrontation is more in a curious way than a way to make him change it? Ie: whatcha taking..oh.. why that?

Kinda more of a curiosity thing from other students than a rude:

You shouldn't be taking that...[/quote]
Sorry rosebarks, not sure how I missed this one. It's going to depend a lot on how they ask, obviously, as the more aggressive/obnoxious they are about it the more defensive he's going to be about it. He'll create reasons to push those who are trying to push him away, but for those merely showing a casual interest he probably won't know what to say as Vito does not really know why he chose this subject at all. "A voice in my head told me to" sounds quite worrying if you actually think about it :P

In my latest post I've taken control of one of the teachers. I talked to rosebarks a little about this and (I think) that we both agreed that it would be very difficult for her to control all of the teachers in the school, so I've decided to take on some. I would encourage others to do the same as it will allow you to interact with other people's characters in a different way as well as interact with characters that you might not see much of otherwise.

Swix, as the only other person in my class you're welcome to share control of this teacher with me. My idea was for the teacher to be a program based solely in the simulator without any physical form, who would direct and instruct students using only it's voice. It's capable of controlling everything within the room, including the desks and chairs and such, but at the same time it should be fairly limited in some interesting ways. I thought that the program could be called 'Charwin' (for obvious reasons, given the class :P) but if you've got a better idea for a name (or a teacher - it's not too late to change it&#33;) I'd love to hear it :)

Yes there was an agreement to that, I can do a few teachers but considering there are about a good 16 classes each of us could take it if wanted that's a lot of teachers...Also: maybe not so much a voice...but, perhaps, something inside him told him to take the class?

Perhaps, yeah. I guess the point that I was trying to make is that Vito will not think too deeply on it if people press him too hard. It'll require a soft touch to get him to really contemplate why he decided to enrol in such an unusual subject.

Grah&#33; Apologies for the mistakes, that'll teach me to phone post when I'm in a hurry. I will probably edit the post tomorrow.

Paolas family is so complicated XD

I'm sorry, but I'm going to be bowing out of this RP. I don't find Vannis interesting enough, nor do I find the plot that intriguing.

The eldest, youngest and her father are all GBEs chars, that's why there's only the three in my profile list. Paolas mother's not up there yet though.

Also 3kul, sorry if I'm putting you under any undue pressure by relying on you to post for the other students. I will bring some others over later, I swear XD

This RP is going to be fine for the first period or so, but soon we're going to find that some of us are suffering from some serious RP lag - what happens if, for example, Swix and I finish RPing our current lesson while you're still halfway through yours? Do we just have to wait for a few pages until you're done, or do you have to play catch up as we move on to our next classes?

The way I see it there are two possible solutions. The first is to strip back the curriculum and create several broad subjects that we much all attend. This would be much easier to manage, and give us all a lot more time to interact with each other, but would probably feel severely limiting.

The other potential solution is to play things out Harry Potter style, Did you notice how in the later books you barely ever read about their classes? This solution would see us treating our subjects as 'off screen' elements - we don't roleplay our classes, but acknowledge them as something that exists and something that we're regularly attending, and instead roleplay before, between and after classes while focusing on over-arching plots relating to the school or our characters. This would make the roleplay move forward a lot quicker, but some people may miss the classroom elements.

Of course, there are probably other ways to do this, so don't feel like these two suggestions of mine are the only possibilities; they're just all that I can think of atm ;)

And don't worry about it Swix, seems like we'll be relying on NPCs quite a bit for this class so I don't mind at all, I'll check out your post and respond later this evening.

I do like the Harry potter Idea, after first class we could go to a lunch, after school and stuff like that. as for personal plots perhaps we can co-ordinate them together to interact better some how? Sorry if that isn't much help, I've been sick and with headache/ lack of thinking skills tha last 3 days.. Today being day 3 going onto day 4 here xD

Thanks, GBE B-) [/quote]Great to see you joining this RP GBE :D

(Note: that second Nanotechnology is meant to be Pyrotechnics)

You've got a lot of subjects that the rest of us don't have, so it should be fairly easy to work out a timetable for you. Basically your timetable is going to look a bit like this:

P1: Gym
P2: ???
P3: ???
P4: Nanotechnology
Lunch: Lunch
P5: Flight
P6: ???
P7: ???
P8: ???

I think that it'd be alright if you spread the rest out however you see fit to save rosebarks the trouble, but you might want to post it here first just in case.

EDIT: Hey rosebarks, just out of curiosity, will this school have houses? Or teams or whatever you want to call them?

EDIT2: Evolutionary biology begins&#33; Swix, feel free to share control of CHARWIN with me if you like :)
