RedCommissar

Right, it was quite a busy evening, got plenty of people now I think who'll be regulars there.

So now the time has been moved to 9PM.

Thanks Stalingrad. Have a Kitten. Of Evil.

The Clocktower is South West from Fort Darwin, excuse my poor directional skills.

I arrived a bit late last night and, despite it being a quiet night, Tress had a great conversation with Iceflame. Learned some interesting things about him...

RC, give it a chance - it's still early days. You guys chose a good location so, fingers crossed it'll get more attendees soon.

[/ QUOTE ]
Gah, I really hope so HotHead, I really need to stay with RC due to the upcoming Requiem stuff and I don't want the place to die...

Tonights turn out was real quiet, I fall on my knee's and beg the RP Super Groups of COV to really help out with this one...

RP carries a Canteen of excellent 'medical' Vodka, nothing can beat that .

OOC:

So Doc, when do the missions go out?

The juicy juicy missions....

Red Commissars Torgo FAQ

Q: Is Torgo an Original Creation?:

A: Sadly nope, he was a minor character from a Movie Flop Called Manos The Hands of Fate played by the deceased actor John Reynolds.

Q: Why does he speak lIkE tHiS?

A: In the movie, Whether Hal Warren had asked for it or John Reynolds simply let it slip (The man was into using the recreative drug of the sixties, LSD) and made Torgo speak in a halting stilted manner much like the G-Man from Half Life. I'm also trying to recreate the twitches and walking style of Reynalds, but that requires more research .

Q: What is Torgo?

A: Is Mid-Western American Satyr, and damn pRoUd oF iT. Actually, nobody knows. The Film's Protaganist was a Cultist Leader with a Freddy Mercury moustache and way too many wives who worshipped Manos.

Q: Is Torgo that really strong?

A: Not sure, I think this might by the old Comic Bookness leaking into things, the guy knocked out the main Character Hal Warren played by smacking him with a giant stick (His walking stick? staff? due to the film quality, we're not sure).

Q: Will Torgo change?

A: Of course, Torgo will not exactly be like the REAL Torgo, he himself is just a dimensional Carbon Copy of many. Some mannerisms also were inspired by Terry Pratchett's version of Igor in Discworld, Including the ability to appear from nowhere, make food in nano-seconds and a lovely sense of self preservation.

Q: This Torgo intrigues me further, where can I find out more about him?:

A: To see Torgo, you need to watch Mystery Science Theater 3000: Manos The Hands of Fate, which is avaliable on DVD or in little segments on YouTube (get the DVD folks though, BestBrains will love ya for it).

Q: Who is Torgo's current mAsTeR? And what is his job?

A: Recluse, Duh. He did bust Torgo out of the join. His job is to watch the Clocktower grounds and serve the guests there. He also knows it's mystical secret, but can't mention it because: iT vOiDs mY coNtraCT...

Q: Isn't Torgo copyrighted?

A: Nope, He and most of Manos: The Hands of Fate is now Public Domain (The film was made in the early sixties) and I'm not the first or last person to parody to make fun of the guy. Infact, Hal Warren, The youngest Daughter made contact with The Agony Booth last year (a major Bad Movie review website) and expressed great happiness of the cult following Manos has been given and her sadness that her father was not around to see it.

Q: Does Torgo have his own theme musc?:

A: Why yes, he does. Listen.

Q: Where can I learn more about Torgo/John Reynolds/Manos?

A: Here, Wikipedia will serve.

Torgo was cool, but I think he needs more quirks

Sorry I wasn't interacting much. Tiredness got the better of me. Leprechaun's accent was superb though.

[/ QUOTE ]
Oh he has quirks. Look for Manos The Hands of Fate of YouTube. You'll see.

I just wish there was a Stalker Powerset with a Stick...

Well, except number three; that one's kinda nullified by a certain story arc at level 15.

So she says.... Could be the Sands of Time for Scirocco

or Even...

The Countdown to Doomsday for Paragon..

Or her knickers secretly kept at the bottom of Synapse's sock drawer .

I liked the sinister power in the Clocktower Idea (As well as my alternate suggestion) the best.

By the way, did you all enjoy meeting Torgo tonight?

Quite, but at the moment this just the testing and concept thread .

Keeping rolling in the idea's on why we're here in the first place.

Right, I've just realised what this RP forum has been lacking all the time. A big stickied list of all the current RPers in game at the moment on the Isles and in Paragon. I'll get the ball rolling by posting my information in the desired easy to read format.

Just thinking, do we want to have a GG-esque thread? If we do, I think it should be posted here in the RP forum rather than the general villains forum... Although I must say I'm not sure we really need to actually have one...

[/ QUOTE ]
Depends on what the Villain RPers feel like it. I say it's up to them.

[ QUOTE ]
Aye. Should be there for a little while at least but how will GG cope without its resident Stoic Soviet Super Soldier?


Or should that be Soviet Super Stoic Soldier... or maybe... no, I'll stop.

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm there from 9PM, spend an hour at the Clocktower to keep things rolling, then come back at 11PM.

Slighty exhausting, but fun never the less.

Well, It's quite easy. Just say and do what you think your character would do. For example, if you own a large brooding gothic tank, it may be OOC (Or not, depending on the view) if made a cheerful comment and did a random emote. Instead, act like a Large Cheerless Slab of meat who likes smacking things. Rawr.

Oh, and most OOC comments and actions are typed in this format (()) though must of us use GGOOC or CTOOC channels for that sort of stuff.

Here, check out this easy to understand FAQ about GG RPing:

I'll pop by again tonight at 10PM with Torgo, anyone going to be present?

Another excellent night of quality Villain RP. I sadly was having so much fun, I forgot to screenie.

Tonight, Dr Spelimino and his Mercenary Army entered and secured the Clocktower. Causing a little bit of a stir with the other Villains as well as his dumb and long suffering Henchmen, Dr S wanted to know who was the slimeball nicking Spielcorp's Medical Supplies.

After chatting with some locals, handing out stickers and badges and generally abusing his Minions, he got to work.

He eventually got somewhere and paid two Villains to keep an eye out for the tall bald well dressed man rumoured to be doing it. I prey somebody has a transcript of tonights Hilarity because playing with MM Villains is incredibly fun in RP.

Oh, and Mr N showed up a little bit later sensing some punk dissing him as kids say today and bribed one of the Villains who told him about Dr S.

Tommorow, I shall reveal: Torgo.

NPC?? and is he a villain or hero?

[/ QUOTE ]
Creating an NPC is RP is simply creating a oneshot expendable character (For instance, a Policeman that needs to lead Heroes somewhere or the Doctor).

And he's a Hero. Posts on the forums.

Well, of you check Community links, there are several International Sites that host in game comics. They have been around for ages, so I think that would answer your question.

Keep the guy dude. GG has one, why not Clocktower?

There's quite a few COH Webcomics (City of Zeroes)...

But you have the wrong forum, you are looking for Creative.

Send a PM to Temporis, he might need NPC's for the Requiem storyline...

Anywho, we need some die hard regulars to keep the place running while GGer's are at GG.

Any volunteers?

RC.. lets go to the beach to avoid the tools. You know, the one with the badge.

IC.. there a secret boat service.. just a thought.

[/ QUOTE ]
Not everyone can have easy acess to the beach, and the newer players who might want to join in may have never seen it. The Clocktower was chosen because it's easy to find.
