Title: Welcome!
Post by: Opal on September 14, 2011, 01:46:30 AM
Welcome to RV6, everyone! You may notice that there is not a main site for RV6 yet. Well. There will be. I just couldn't wait to get this up and running!

There is a prologue, as well as several pinned topics that I highly recommend you all read before applying. They will (I hope) be very informative and helpful. Also, please check out the updated rules and regulations in the General Discussion board.

So for now, kick back, relax, and speculate the night away!

Also, if you're trying to register but your account gets rejected, it's not because I hate you! It's probably because I get a ton of spambots registering, which is why I had previously disabled new registrations (aaand I got about five within the hour of me reopening registrations just now) sooo sometimes I may accidentally delete an actual, real account whilst wading through all the duds. If you get rejected, lemme know in an email at redventureATgmailDOTcom. Thanks for your patience, and may all spammers die painful deaths. :)

Woo, Redventure 6! Just going by the application categories, this looks like it's going to be an interesting contest.

Aww, c'mon, a beaver is just like a big fat otter with an even weirder tail.

Does the PG thing mean that Seth Devonshire esq characters will be smushed?

Depends, really. If it's more downplayed, and there are other aspects about your character that take the spotlight, then it's probably fine. I mainly just don't want to see authors use risque things as a crutch, to be edgy, or what have you. Sex jokes are mindlessly easy to make; I just want people to get more creative than that.

It seems like forever since I've logged onto the ROC, almost 8 or 9 months.  Anyways, although it'll probably hurt my school grades and my motivation for my art, I'll give this one a shot maybe.  If not, I'll review and do some fanart maybe. 

Nice to be back, I look forward  to seeing all the nice writing to follow and that owl role just... beckons to me...

After two days of trial and error I finally remembered my password *is slightly ashamed.*

Hi, everyone! Can I just say I think the beaver inclusion is awesome? It makes me feel all patriotic.

I'm just bummed I already burned through my beaver app in an otter category last time!! Curses!

Yay, opportunities to stretch my writing muscles :D

Sorry Dewy (and hi!!!)! Weirdly, I had already chosen to have a male beaver in this before R:R even started, so I was surprised to see one show up there! If Bernie had gotten in, I probably would've chosen something different for that category. Maybe.

(I actually had also planned on having a female wildcat and male bat in this too, but Dirge somehow read my mind or something on that one! Wacky coincidence, that. I guess that's what I get for planning this so ridiculously far in advance. XD)

I notice that there's a lot of species in here that are either rare in the books, or not mentioned at all: beavers, minks, owls, rabbits, and wolves. Could it be that they were at one point very common, and then died out? Wil the story establish this? Intrigue! Intriguing beavers!

Hey! Long time no see for quite a few folks. Maybe no see ever for some others, I don't know.

I don't know what to apply for and what my character should be. ARG!

Facebook is a root of all kinds of evils, 'tis.

Hey, if anyone else needs to register, I've installed a new mod to hopefully deter spambots (I mean, as fun as it is getting 20+ fake registrations a day...). Email me if you are real person and have any problems with it, and I can register you manually. :P
Title: Re: Welcome!

Aaaand added another anti-spam mod, because those spammers are persistent little buggers. Basically a series of what I hope are stupidly simple questions to answer. Let me know if you run into any problems or bugs.

Also, it's October 8th, guys! How 'bout some more apps then, eh?

Hallo everyone! Hope everyone have been doing since last I've seen you.  It's a pleasure to be back with you all, old and new and alike, and back in the ROC.


Don't think I've ever read pre-redwall fanfiction before; the plot is very intriguing. I'm really looking forward to this.
