Sanctuary
-
So, I'm not staff or even friends with staff (that I know of) but since there's no thread for this game and there was such excitement over Spirit Lake (now closed to apps) that I thought I'd bring this to peoples' attention.
Sanctuary: modern urban fantasy though set in a small town in the same vein as Midnight, Texas the show and the books. Here's the link to the wiki. Check it out and app cause I just apped there and it's still very small and more people to play with would be cool.

Ooooh.
-
Yes this looks super fun.
-
I have just gotten started here and the staff were super helpful in assistant with theme, so don't be intimidated by a lack of knowledge in Midnight Texas. I haven't seen the show but I don't feel like I NEED to in order to understand anything. (Although I absolutely intend to watch a few episodes. The second season is on Hulu in the United States.)
That said...I have a very hard time connecting to the game. I can log into multiple other games with multiple logins and Sanctuary stops me dead. My troubleshooting is pointing to to DNS somesuch on my end but I'm not that kind of nerd. I have to kind of reset the connection in my Network settings a few times and then it'll work until I get idle kicked. It's a mess.
So, barring those issues, seems like a cool place.

That wiki of locking everything down to the public reminds me of a certain group or pair of staffers that create a lot of games. They did that twilight mu and some teen ones. Can't remember their names.

@doozer Is this a good or a bad thing?

@tinuviel I don't know. I've met some cool people but they are not long lasting games. Maybe a few months to a year? Some folks have opinions of the game runners both good and bad.
-
I was looking at the wiki last night and far as I could tell nothing was locked down. Some you just gotta scroll further because, for some reason, it does not line up with the info box.
-
@icanbeyourmuse A great deal of it is locked down, if you aren't a member.

I doubt it's that particular couple: they often host their own mediawiki (not wikidot) and had a specific template they used each time.
ETA: I do find it super weird that they locked down the character pages. Those weren't locked to the public the other day.

Makes it hard for considering char concepts, which I've been mulling over for a few days. -
I've been pondering a concept too. I likely never noticed the character page stuff because that does not matter to me. I don't really look at them.
Anyone considering playing Sanctuary, if you're game, I'd be 100% willing to do a thing together.
-
I am considering a Fallen Angel who got bored with the war in heaven (the 'fell in love' FA concept doesn't really speak to me) and opted to fall for that reason. If anyone wants to work in something with that or have met after they Fell, lemme know. That might help me kickstart my idea-making a little.
Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

@auspice I was considering a similar concept. A Fallen Angel who wanted. And it was the appeal of actually having choice for once that precipitated the fall.

Could be they goaded (passively, as it were) each other into it. Sort of over time. That kind of water cooler talk. Just sort of turns eventually into it happening. Yours with the being able to choose and mine with being sick of fighting the war that s/he follows suit, perhaps.
'Well, if you're going to do it, I might as well. You're the only one worth talking to up here anymore after all.'
-
@Auspice @Tinuviel I'm trying to decide between Fallen Angel, Ghost, Siren, and Half Demon. I could go for Fallen Angel if you two wanna create something together.

@icanbeyourmuse Entire angel squad goes rogue. Caught behind enemy lines with no hope of rescue. Hated by their enemies, abandoned by their allies. The only ones left to turn to... each other.
This fall, on NBC. Reach Out and Touched by an Angel.

@tinuviel lol. That would be an awesome show to watch, not gonna lie.

I mean, in that situ, at least one person has to play the snarky Half Demon who shows them the ropes in modern-day earth.

lol. I can do the snarky half demon. Half Demon is one of the concepts I'm considering, after all.
