X-MEN ANNOUNCEMENTS



The official page for updates and announcements relating to the X-Men RP.





[Figgy]

Alright guys, so most of you indicated that a time skip of 9 months to a year (guessing that just means a year) would be ideal, if we go through with that. Next week, I'm going to try to start getting things back in order and planning some stuff. All I need to know right now is how many of you are still interested in sticking around? This will help me out when deciding how big to make changes and events.

2014-06-29 [Figgy]: Halo would definitely have to have some extra strong material to keep it from falling apart after vibrating too much :>

2014-06-29 [Figgy]: Anymore uniform enhancements?

2014-06-29 [Figgy]: Also, might be streaming here shortly if anyone wants to join. Doing X-Men ish stuff, maybe finishing up sketches.

2014-06-29 [ancienteye]: Yay! :D

2014-06-29 [Ms. Steel]: I was also thinking protective head gear for Halo. Doesn't much help if she collapses something then dies because she got hit on the head. Heh

2014-06-29 [ancienteye]: Does that mean we don't get to watch you sketch? <img:stuff/mood21-gif.gif>

2014-06-29 [Figgy]: No, no, I'm back on Picarto. It's finally working.

2014-06-29 [ancienteye]: Ok, then. ^-^

2014-06-29 [Flisky]: I have uniform enhancements, but I want to work on them before I actually tell you all. (I'm doing art and stuff.)

2014-06-29 [ancienteye]: *excited*

2014-06-30 [Figgy]: Ok, stream over. Dinner time :3

2014-06-30 [ancienteye]: XD Ok.

2014-06-30 [Figgy]: Very undynamic pose, but I just wanted to get his uniform design down (courtesy of Dur). Tis a unisex outfit that conforms to his size/gender :>

<img300*0:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15498925/x-men/cper.png>

2014-06-30 [Ms. Steel]: Not found :****(

2014-06-30 [Duredhel]: Works now ;D

2014-06-30 [Ms. Steel]: yay!

2014-06-30 [~Valkyrie~]: He's so cute! lol

2014-06-30 [ancienteye]: Inversed colors~ Cool! :D

2014-06-30 [Figgy]: Thanks :3 That was Dur's idea.

2014-06-30 [ancienteye]: It definitely suits Casper. :P My compliments to both Dur for the idea and Figgy for the execution.

2014-06-30 [Figgy]: XD Thanks

2014-07-14 [Figgy]: Okay, guys, remind me of the GM-y shit I need to do, including places where I've neglected to post. Gonna try to get it all done by tomorrow night.

2014-07-14 [ancienteye]: Rene and Light haven't responded at the Pool...

2014-07-14 [Figgy]: That one is on my list.

2014-07-15 [ancienteye]: Hm... *thinking face* I feel like Coral would /want/ to teach something. XD

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: She could do some swimming courses, or Photography :> or both

2014-07-15 [twitchboy]: Mark could do a comp course, or even physics.
And maybe justin could help be an assistant to Rook? For more western forms of combat(its been established that rook can kick his ass though even in the future)

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: Justin can sign up for the class and volunteer to be a teacher's assistant XD Rook can decide if he lets him.

2014-07-15 [Lirerial]: I kinda wish Lire would teach something or be an assistant...

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: She's not even living at the mansion >_>

2014-07-15 [Lirerial]: yea I know :/ Which is why I can only wish lol

2014-07-15 [twitchboy]: actually im willing to double duty Mark in physics and math.

2014-07-15 [Evolution X]: Mark can't teach I'm afraid, has to have an actual teaching degree thing.

2014-07-15 [twitchboy]: dude was raised to build military tech, many specialized teachers come in through lateral entry

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: I mean, he can offer the class, but without proper certification, the class won't present any credit XD So people might not take it.

2014-07-15 [Flisky]: Addy could teach biology if that was the case. And Rook would love to have someone helping. ^_^

2014-07-15 [twitchboy]: i was only offering because i actually have a degree in physics and took up to calc 4 and differential equations

2014-07-15 [CuteCommander]: Maria and Val could double team as teachers for dance :)

2014-07-15 [Flisky]: And I have a degree in accounting but that doesn't help anything if our characters don't.

2014-07-15 [Ms. Steel]: Rage is also a dancer. The three of them could start the Xavier dance troupe...

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: Hahaha XD

Now that you guys mention it, who SHOULD teach the class, officially? Who would have the credentials?

2014-07-15 [Flisky]: Unfortunately I'm pretty sure the only person with the credentials is Tory.

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: Probably so, but I bet there are teaching certificate courses they could take online over a few months :>

2014-07-15 [Flisky]: ...there are assistant teacher certificates. But if you don't have a degree, you can't get a certificate for actual teaching. A substitute teaching certificate can be earned in like a year. :/ (As far as I have checked.)

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: Technically (and this is coming from my Spanish professor, who apparently inquired about this stuff), you don't even have to take the courses mandated in order to earn the certificate. As long as you pass the Praxis, you can legally teach. Or so he said.

It's funny, even with a doctorate and having taught at a university level for 10 or so years, HE can't teach high school Spanish because he never took the Praxis.

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: Though, you still have to have a completed education in the material you're going to teach. You just don't necessarily have to go through the 2-year education program.

2014-07-15 [Ms. Steel]: It's at a private institute. The same rules don't necessarily adhere from public to private school. I don't think there's any need to over analyze it. I also really don't care if Val teaches or not.

2014-07-15 [Ms. Steel]: 'cause she is a 19-year-old undergrad and junk.

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: I'm just discussing :> It won't really affect who is teaching.

2014-07-15 [Flisky]: "Requirements for becoming a teacher vary by state. However, all states require that you have a bachelor’s degree at a minimum, and have completed a traditional or alternative teacher preparation program. You’ll also need to take a certification exam and pass a background check. Many states require student teaching experience."

This is from teach.org

2014-07-15 [Flisky]: In the long run, as long as the class is supervised by a licensed teacher, it could still count for credits.

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: But the bachelor's degree can be in just one subject, rather than one subject AND education. And a teacher Prep program may cover many classes or may only cover the Praxis :>

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: Hell, as far as the state knows, Xavier's can just put Tory down as the teacher for all the classes, and the actual teachers as her assistants ;3

2014-07-15 [Lirerial]: Hey now, Rage should help out in theater!

2014-07-15 [Figgy]: Not dance?

2014-07-15 [Flisky]: Yes. But they still need one. Which most of the characters don't. But yeah...just saying. *smiles and wanders away*

2014-07-15 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: tory is the one that would be the teacher in all classes xD

2014-07-16 [Figgy]: Hey, guys, over at Wiki Nominations, I've nominated both X-Men RP and Winter of Wolves for the featured wiki. If you'd like, go add your name to the nominations to show your support :)

2014-07-17 [Ms. Steel]: Can X-Men RP win twice?

2014-07-17 [Ms. Steel]: I RESCIND MY QUESTION

2014-07-17 [Figgy]: Haahahaha

2014-07-18 [Figgy]: Gonna try to work on some more character sketches, after forever. Should I stream?

2014-07-18 [Flisky]: ...yes? ^^

2014-07-31 [The Black Goat]: Is offline

2014-07-31 [Figgy]: Should be on now

2014-07-31 [The Black Goat]: It is, but my phone said fuck it XD so I can't see the screen anyway

I'm sure whatever you're drawing is wonderful though

2014-08-06 [Figgy]: Hey, guys, the RP is moving pretty slowly the past few days, so I just wanna ask who everyone is waiting on so I can get an idea of what's slowing us down.

2014-08-06 [~Valkyrie~]: I'm just waiting for Twitch to post for Alexis but he said he would get to it. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with Kiora though...

2014-08-06 [Flisky]: I'm sure people are waiting on me. :/

2014-08-06 [Lirerial]: I'm waiting on Twitch

2014-08-06 [The Black Goat]: Waiting on you lire with rage

2014-08-06 [Lirerial]: Oh shit,lol I will get right on that XD

2014-08-07 [twitchboy]: twitch is back, sorry Clemson decided it needed to beat some one to death with extra paper work and inform them that housing was full and i was the lucky recipient. Been busy for the last two weeks

2014-08-07 [twitchboy]: lire where ya need me?

2014-08-07 [Lirerial]: I need you at the pools, Lire's currently perched on Justin's shoulders. Idk if we're waiting on Figgy though

2014-08-07 [Lirerial]: Sorry, about Clemson being an ass. I apologize on behalf of my state :(

2014-08-07 [twitchboy]: oh i thought we needed a faro and rene post before, and its not an ass lol just crazy work load trying to get in last minute. one minute an on campus house is open the next its not, ditto for classes, rinse repeat lol

2014-08-07 [Lirerial]: Lol I'm not sure, I just know I can't post without you. And idk, I always register very early so I've never had that problem

2014-08-07 [Lirerial]: But glad to hear you're coming to Clemson, I think you'll like it!

2014-08-08 [Figgy]: I''ll be posting with Rene after Steel posts with Val, guys. I don't want to leave her behind.

2014-08-08 [Ms. Steel]: I will try to post tonight. Currently in transit.

2014-08-08 [Figgy]: No rush :)
I doubt I'll post today anyways XD

2014-09-04 [The Black Goat]: Just arrived in Qatar but I've got one more flight to go, will post when I'm landed and in my room and not unconscious from sleep deprivation

2014-09-04 [Figgy]: Sooo, if you guys followed that X-Men RP blog Dur and I made a while back and never used... it's a nsfw blog now, so if you don't want porn on your Tumblr dash, you should unfollow :/

2014-09-04 [The Black Goat]: So flight delayed, still in Kuwait >_>

2014-09-04 [The Black Goat]: Also, kick ass. Link us please

2014-09-04 [~Valkyrie~]: Haha, Nox, I'm not surprised. My husband was supposed to be leaving Kewait a few days ago. Now he's not leaving for almost a week and his shit is all in Jordan already. He has one uniform and one set of civilian PTs. He's livid.

2014-09-04 [The Black Goat]: Yeah we are now waiting for a bus to take us to a different base so we can shower and nap until our new flight comes in tonight at eight, its currently ten am >_>

2014-09-04 [~Valkyrie~]: Godda love the Air Force. :p

2014-09-04 [The Black Goat]: well the bus failed.......

we are still here

2014-09-04 [Figgy]: Jeez >_>

2014-09-04 [The Black Goat]: Yeah

2014-09-04 [~Valkyrie~]: lol, yeah...I unfortunately can't say that I'm surprised. :/

2014-09-04 [Figgy]: Did you at least get to nap while you waited?

2014-09-05 [The Black Goat]: No such luck, we sat in the equivalent of a waiting room for 16 hours, crappy ac, concrete floors, uncomfortable chairs. Got in to all udeid at about 2:30 am last night, slept from 4:30 to almost six before we had to get up and get to our in processing stuff.

I'm gonna try posting tonight after a quick nap and a shower becausits hot as balls here >_>

2014-09-09 [Duredhel]: SO sorry guys, I'll post everywhere right now.

2014-10-02 [Figgy]: https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=duredure

Dur is streaming orc penis

2014-10-02 [The Black Goat]: orc penis is scary XD

2014-10-02 [~Valkyrie~]: Yeah...it's even scarier when you have to listen to your medic do the math to calculate the weight of his character's penis. *shakes head* Only my guys.

2014-10-04 [Duredhel]:

I've made a huge mistake. (Sorry not sorry.)

2014-10-08 [CuteCommander]: :D

2014-10-08 [Duredhel]: You people need to watch Arrested Development.

2014-10-08 [Flisky]: *dies laughing*

2014-10-08 [ancienteye]: *doesn't know the reference*

2014-10-08 [~Valkyrie~]: I'm...confused

2014-10-08 [Ms. Steel]: If you're unfamiliar with Arrested Development, you wouldn't get it.

2014-10-08 [Duredhel]: If you're unfamiliar with Arrested Development, you should try to remedy that a.s.a.p.

2014-10-08 [~Valkyrie~]: Ah

2014-10-08 [Figgy]: Also, please watch this show if you haven't already.

2014-10-08 [ancienteye]: XD XD XD Auditioning for the Blue Man Group?

2014-10-08 [Figgy]: Yep! It was exactly that, ancient. There's a lot more to it though, so you should watch :3

2014-10-08 [ancienteye]: XD Ok.

2014-10-09 [Figgy]: I had no choice.

<img200*0:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15498925/inktober/2014-10-09%2003.07.18.jpg>

2014-10-09 [CuteCommander]: I geekgasm'd :P

2014-10-09 [Figgy]: The quality on this one is really bad cause I was trying to rush and get commissions done. Sorry :/

2014-10-09 [twitchboy]: Gavin should be a chocobo! XD

2014-10-09 [ancienteye]: That'd be one colorful chocobo. XD

And David looks properly p*ssed off. XD

2014-10-10 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: how bout Tori as the fairy god mother?

2014-10-10 [Figgy]: Already did one for Flisk though :)
Trying to only do one per player, then the rest of the days are for myself ;)
I can't speak for Dur though.

2014-10-10 [Nikolai-Akaykam itana]: ok c:

2014-10-10 [ancienteye]: XD

2014-10-20 [Figgy]: Doing the thing again :>

2014-10-20 [Duredhel]: Zhu li, is that you?

2014-10-21 [Figgy]: I encourage you all to watch this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0u4M6vppCI

2014-10-21 [ancienteye]: ...Who's Shia LaBeouf? :o

2014-10-21 [Figgy]: .... are you serious >_>

2014-10-21 [ancienteye]: Ah...I don't really keep up with pop culture. Even when I like an actor/actress in a movie, I won't necessarily know his/her name or reputation. XD

2014-10-21 [Figgy]: I've known him since I was like 10 XD
Even Stevens, Holes, Transformers, Disturbia XD

2014-10-21 [ancienteye]: *reads the thing and looks him up on Wikipedia* Oh! From Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! /That's/ where I've seen those eyebrows! :D

2014-10-21 [ancienteye]: Holes and Even Steven I saw (although the second only in bits and pieces).

2014-10-21 [~Valkyrie~]: I'm the same way Ancient. I only know actors' names now because I had so many theater friends in college. Not that you're really missing much by not knowing who LaBeouf is. I think the only good movie he was in was Holes. *braces for impact*

2014-10-21 [Figgy]: Shia is a nutcase XD That's where the video gets its humor from.

2014-10-21 [ancienteye]: I thought it was funny even without knowing who he was. :P

2014-10-21 [~Valkyrie~]: Oh, I guess I should watch that video y'all were talking about, lol

2014-10-21 [~Valkyrie~]: ...o.O

2014-10-22 [twitchboy]: my god that was great, though he shoulda stolen something, more in character

2014-10-22 [Figgy]: "Hey, I wrote that song!"

2014-10-22 [The Black Goat]: Bahahhahahahha
