h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

.. to play a role in a role-playing scenario that I am setting up. It's not quite done yet (haven't managed to get all of the character
descriptions up yet), but the scenario description is here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A598386
It will point you to a general information and rules page, so be sure to read that too. The character you will be playing, if you want to play, is the Ship's Cook. I have gotten his/your private thread up, so you can read your character description.

Note that for this thing, you must stay in character. And it's only one pre-defined character. I know you are a good actor, but I'm not sure if you will be interested, given these restrictions. I think you would enjoy it, even if it is a departure from your usual h2g2 persona. Anyway, it is up to you - I would certainly welcome your participation. Especially after your graceful exit from the murder thread. This is the first similar thing that I have been involved with and I wanted to be sure to give you the chance to participate.

While everyone is waiting for the thing to start, they have gathered in a thread called: "Pre-start conversation" on the main scenario page. Not too many there yet, but the crowd will grow as I scan/edit in more of the character descriptions.

Let me know (either here or on the private thread) if you do or don't want to participate.

[YK] Er, do we get to choose our character's name?

Um, nope. Sorry. Read the stuff though - I think you'd enjoy playing and I think you would be good at it.

I'll do it.

Yay!!!!!!

Wait, D'OH! I just remembered: I have to leave around the tenth and I won't be able to play for a while around then. Sorry.

How long will you be gone for? More than a week?

I dunno, I forget. But I don't think I'll really want to play, anyway: I think that it would be too hard to a) stay in character, b) complete many of my mission objectives, and c) resisting temptation to look at pages/fora I'm not supposed to. Er, Lizzie's Initiation hasn't died down yet: it's moved to a Trance Zone here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F13649?thread=129799

Okay, then. I'll check with you next time we do one of these to see if you want to participate then.

I know Lizzie's initiation hasn't died down, but I have been busy getting this role-playing going. I'll be away next week, too. Time for some PAG, I think.

Righto.
