[announcement] We're almost there! Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp will soon be open for the summer! ... in January!
Don't ask questions about that, it's not important. What is important is anything you'd like to ask us about the game itself!
IT'S SUMMER WHERE I AM
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE IN WHACKY DOWNUNDERLAND.
But yes, hi guys! Reserves aren't open just yet, because we're doing some finishing touches, but soon!
oh goodness
Check it out, Whispering Rock is going to be an AU game based on Psychonauts.
You don't need to know the canon, since we've got a LOT of info for you to go over, so no worries about that!
liking for future reference. psychonauts is one of my favorite games.
excellent. come to us
yes i have a question
can you open this jar of dip for me
only if i can eat the dip
If you had psychic powers maybe you could open it yourself.

OH I WAS so confused at first, because when I saw WR I thought Witch's Reign and like this was gonna be an event for it...

We've got a handful of people working on apps already that are almost done it's kind of boggling.
it's so excitiiiiiiiiiiiiiing
Milla is actually not appable right now because of plot reasons! I NEED TO LIST THAT ON THERE
I AM REALLY SORRY SHOOT
If only I wasn't terrible at AUs!!!
i am sorely tempted for a counselor. since i have all the time in the world.
We could use counselors..*~
ahaha 
we are editing the taken page now
we are editing the taken page now
see this is why i waited to put this up on like atp or something. fix all this whoopies now
Well tbf we only recently cemented that aspect.

No see all the credit goes to everyone else I'm just the code jockey.

"WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH THIS." "MAYBE THIS SHOULD GO HERE" "CAN YOU CHANGE THE COLOR OF THIS" "I THINK THIS SHOULD BE SMALLER" "SNOW I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW TO MAKE A TEXT AREA"
aus are my favorite
AUs are the best.
Also I am so proud of u James you learned how to textarea.
omg
AUs are amazing
oh snap James you textarea'd what a good way to start the year
we're proud of you
App everyone even if they're terrible.
Especially if they're terrible.
yes we need terror around the camp
kdklsdlsd
well the person i had in mind is pretty terrible
hopefully no one gets to him before i do. BUT THANKFULLY i have a backup plan just in case.
/takes a curious peek
oh my god yesss
I can't app just yet because haha me and canons, but replurking the shit out of this
We're not sure when it'll be open for apps yet, but it'll be there waiting with welcome arms when you want to join. c:
I shall have to take a bigger peek once I thaw. (just got in from class)
Whoa neatest game idea.
OH no worries. Just put what their name is in the AU and if its different in canon just add the canon one in parenthesis
(thanks i will go fix that slkfjdsdls)
screech
BUMPS
this is relative to my interests
I need to finish the last portion of my app still woops
You are a beast, Lucario.
wow
I'm actually tempted to throw in an OC.
Bonus points: he'd totally work as camp counselor for telepathy.
I'm a beast of app-eating clearly
>We're currently not accepting OCs, however.
oh well
we are considering revising that one! check back in a day or two
oooo
oh good 
i have an OC who's got a history i need to fully refine and writing him up for an AU game would set me up for this perfectly
the reason why i decided against it was because i haven't run any games with ocs yet. i wanted to see where the interest was first
oh okay!
it's just basically you have to put a bit more trust in the player to not go full retard, but in an AU game I never quite understood the limit on OCs
>psychic seeking to control your powers
>.../looks at Sniper journal
NO. NO, SELF. NO.
YES SELF YES
er
YES YOU YES
Junior Campers: 8-13
Senior Campers and Junior Counselors: 14-18
Psychonauts: 19+
Senior Campers and Junior Counselors: 14-18
Psychonauts: 19+
take your pick: teenager sniper, or psychonaut sniper
......
stop
i'm going to cry
i cannot imagine why
If he's a Psychonaut he gets to give lectures.
omfg
yes
8D
.....HAHAHAHAHA
OH GOD
socially awkward turtle
oh hey...
i just realized...
spy would fit the best... for invisibility counselor...
someone go get a spy
Run, Yusuke, Run. XD. Yusuke VS Hagiri Kaname (Snipe... this is not a guy who gives lectures
spy as in tf2 spy uwu
you should still do it tho
maybe someday when life stops beating me over the head
god knows nobody else plays the guy
good luck
but yes if the games ever allows OCs I AM SO IN
I help run another game that allows OCs and we haven't had any problems, so I'm inclined towards allowing them. BUT LIKE JAMES SAID.
We'll get back to you on the official status of that in a bit.
Writing Hell
is
this real life? 
It is not fantasy!
this totally made my day. now to figure out who to bring.
omg you guys 
oh golgothas do you mind me asking you questions about canon for this oc app i am making preemptively in case you guys change policy, under the premise these are questions that people will want to know anyway
i'll probably drop a line on the faq if your faq works that way but does me asking questions about my oc inherently offend you in some fashion
y/n
He's currently at work rn but I'm going to wager that the answer to that is "no," so if you'd like you can go ahead and drop the questions off on the FAQ entry.
kk, can do!
OMG... if I had the time to join another game... 
Nonhumanoid OC's, may I ask on those?
FAQ seems to be the place to put those questions!
IIRC it's an AU game tho so
Ah, hokay, thanks!
As a general rule, all nonhumanoid characters should be humanized unless given permission otherwise. But if you want to double check, FAQ is the place to do it.
Ah, I see. Thanks though.
question asked
:33
c:
...!!!!!
MY HEART
/collects rainbows
Whether I join or not, I am going to read the stuff here because I am a sucker for kickass writing.
I AM A RAINBOW FACTORY 
THE EXCITEMENT EVERYONE IS SHOWING NOURISHES US and makes us squeal like five year old girls tbh.
and roll around like two year olds
;A; I wanna play so badly but my activity sucks and I've never played in an AU game before.
these are not good things
We would be willing to work with you on all these things, promise!
It's just so...beautiful. 
Our Norman will flip.
he'll be screeching and flailing and flipping no doubt
omg
the real question I have is why you guys don't have a Milla
Plot reasons.
Everyone will find out later. (8
:3
THIS IS EXCITING
/barfs rainbows everywhere
AGGIE
FLIES INTO THIS PLURK
HELLO
I AM THE NORMAN
or maybe 
for some reason i want to play ender from ender's game here Wow
dipper
likes
this for future purposes..............
i ship a great many things
(but no i am the sort of person who is open to any ship so long as it develops that way)
(also i imagine they are probably not related in this au)
(THEY WOULD MAKE ADORABLE TWINS but that would really change their backstories and probably their personalities )
you guys are being cute. 
/creeps on this 
I'm not sure who I'd bring here... hmmm.
everyone
i can't seem to find the rules for AC (though i might just be too tired to notice) so???
they're on the rules page itself!
oh really wow i must be
blind as a bat
ASKFJAL ITS OK
OH WOW FOUND IT
thanks 
ok sflals ahaha i was about to give you the number but yay
oh my god 
if you'd like to IM me at Jamadadayo we can talk plotty cr stuff ouo
yiss 
you don't need to section of the app dedicated for counselors! A junior counselor is a camper thats earned 8 or more badges and is not yet a psychonaut
basically they are TAs and coffee runners for the counselors and they act as a go between for the campers and counselors.
basically in the history section tell us about what they did in camp up to getting junior counselor
np! you can also choose which counselor or specialty you want them to work under
yess
senior campers are the bums of camp that are over 15 and still don't have 8 badges
does this include bums that are just too lazy to get badges
yes
tempting
i mean. bobby zilch somehow wasn't kicked out of camp so
point.
I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS THROUGH D_M AND I'M SO EXCITED
I want to talk to a friend about us apping together Lucas and Claus from Mother 3 /chinhands
omg
i feel the need t add that if you get 8 badges you don't have to be a jr. counselor, but it's a perk.
what if it's your first year at whispering rock? would you still have a badge then?
... actually that raises an interesting question, will basic braining be a thing that happens to newcomers or no
no, if you're new no badges.
\o/
so cool
Also, query:
basic braining will be a thing with newcomers.
when you guys make a solid decision for/against OCs can you ping me because the impression i got was that's still being decided
or no I must just stalk you all 
can do!
sweet you guys are the best
great! i have some questions about how to adapt the history of the character i'm thinking of apping into the au. do you mind if I private plurk you guys?
go for it! we may be a touch bit slow but we are happy to help.
casually stalking this group because aaaaaa it looks awesome
ufufufu steeples fingers over basic braining plans
quietly bumps this plurk again to ask about those still interested
If any of you interested in apping play Jake the Dog from adventure time you should TOTALLY app them to reward a Finn I might have enabled
end AT plug
Psychonauts. 
/grabby hands for a Jake the Dog
oh a question! since some campers won't be first timers what's the policy on making some characters know each other beforehand???
There'll be pre-existing CR, of course. If it's any help, we plan on having a test drive meme go up the same time we open reserves.
So some people can figure out if they should know certain characters or not.
<:
oooh a test-drive meme would be lovely
/quietly stalks because good reading
rinonoka We've talked over the OC question and we have ultimately decided to wait before we open the game up to OCs.
As it stands right now we have a lot to prepare for the game opening up. And we're going to have our hands full as it is with canon applicants
why would you do this, I already don't have time but I want to play
We want to be able to give proper attention to OC appers and right now at game start wouldn't be a good time.
OCs may be open later in the game though so keep an eye out!
/makes note of this and stalks for more good writing because I am liking what I read here
AT plug huh :|a
We've got Prince Gumball, Marshall Lee, Marceline, Fionna, and Lumpy Space Princess definitely apping. There's a Finn interested and I'm trying to enable more, mighta enabled a Bubblegum but I have no idea.
i'm not a mod or anything I'm just far too invested in our AT cast sobs lemme stop
It's all good, I'm super invested in my AT cast too
Where's yours at?
Gargleblasted
......wait are you bonni
...Yes! :>
because I'm princeblowpop
HAHA
HI THERE
SMALL WORLD
YEAH YOUR PB ROCKS YOU SHOULD APP HER
Snow stop creepin'
that one's our Marshall and one of the mods
quietly adds and attempts to enable u
/blocks /blocks /blocks
aw crud I pressed accept :/
It's okay the sentiment was there I felt the intense antimagnetism
:3c
RESERVES ARE OPEN GUYS
GET TO IT
Yep, if you haven't seen this plurk yet!
bump
WhisperingRockMods sounds like a plan to me! I can stalk and bide my time. :V
/grabby hands for a Bonnie
I'm sort of hoping that just means 'OCs open after first app cycle', like they rolled it at Strings
But I can wait! Hopefully, the Telepathy counselor position doesn't get taken while he's inappable.
:>
BUMPS THIS ONE TOO
