A better grade on my Math quiz.

I think there is one (it's under the moderator thread for DCW IRL). When I first started DCW IRL, I wasn't aiming to cause trouble, just have something fun to do on the side. Personally speaking, I would hope it wouldn't get too messy and while a subforum would definitely be nice, I don't think that it's something we should put a lot of effort into at the moment. Generally speaking, we have enough roleplayers to fill most of the ranks (not including special rounds) and having a roleplaying subforum (in my opinion) will not change too much. We try to explain roleplay as much as possible, though to really understand you actually have to participate (like many things in life). I think that those who are curious will try it if other members are encouraging. Since we're only doing one round at a time, there's really no need in a subforum at this point. All we would see would be old DCW IRL rounds (which thanks to Moho, can be found in a compiled thread). Perhaps the reason why DCW IRL seems to crowd up so much of the chatroom is due to the fact that there are rarely any new threads created in the chatroom other than DCW IRL threads. If we ever got into roleplaying to a greater extent with several rounds at the same time (or more, or a great deal of unmoderated threads), then organization would be more key. I'd say that until we've reached a point where DCW IRL has expanded past the "one round a time, 8 players per round" stage, we should put this matter to rest. Again...my point is, it would be nice. It actually would. But again...DCW wasn't built as an RP website and I think that if DCW IRL gets too big, it should be moved to somewhere separate. I don't think nor want DCW IRL to become the only purpose of DCW...DCW is a wiki forum at heart, not RP forum. I love that DCW IRL made a lot of you guys happy and entertained all of you, but I don't want to cause trouble for DCW either. Forcing DCW to become something other than what Maurice set out to do would be trouble. If you guys are really interested in RPing, you could always try out a site called HexRPG. I know, it won't be the same. DCW is a community, a tight-knit one. But I'm not sure taking RPing to another level will help that.

Dear Anonymous, You know what really sucks about the internet and forums and whatever it is? People always end up leaving and once they do, you have next to no way of getting them back. You were fantastic. Amazing. Great. You still are. And I could never despise anybody for anything. At least I haven't so far. The scary thing is, I don't think I've ever been truly angry. That makes me worried about what might happen if that ever happens. People don't want to get close because they're afraid of breaking again. I just feel that I can't be there. I can't stay here. I will never be as committed to being your friend and to being there for you as I would like to, as I used to and in the end, I know that it'll crumble away. Our friendship was good. I'd like to think that after it, you were happier. Maybe, maybe not. But everything ends. And every beginning is just another beginning's end. If you're going to start again, you have to let go of something. You can't hold onto everything forever. I forgive you. And I'm sorry as well. It's not always easy asking for forgiveness. Good luck. I'm sure you'll be amazing. ~ Jean

Dear Anonymous, Remember when we were friends? I remember. I remember how you were when I first met you...so bitter...going nowhere in life. Depressed, melancholy. I tried to help, I really did. And for a while, everything seemed okay. You seemed more cheerful. Happier. Ready to do something...anything. But then things started to go wrong again. I don't know you well enough but you know the specifics. And then when things settled down again, life got busy. I got busy. We drifted apart. But you stayed my friend and I stayed yours. I'd occasionally wonder how you were and I never forgot. And then that day... I hated how you had begun to sink into a depression again, how you threw yourself down for the sake of others, how you based your life around others' opinions. I probably shouldn't have cared that much--after all, in a way I barely knew you--but I did care. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I did. Maybe it was because in my mind, you were my friend. Maybe it's because I'd been there before...I'd tried to please everyone and in the end, when everyone left, I was just there...feeling empty. Maybe I didn't want you to go through that as well, to become the girl who did everything and felt like nothing. So I got angry. I was desperate. I tried so hard to tell you that I cared about what happened to you and that I wanted you to be happy. I tried so hard to tell you that you needed to get a grip and stop molding yourself to fit other people. Because I don't want you to be someone I like, I want you to be you. That would've been enough. But you took my anger the wrong way. Our friendship ended that way. Yet, I don't regret what I said. I don't take those words back because I meant them and I would still say them again if I got to choose again. I don't want you to feel empty, like what you're doing is meaningless. Maybe once, I was good at giving advice. Maybe once, I was good at making people feel better about themselves. Maybe I still could be. But inside, I feel that those days are gone. I never did give good advice. Someone once told me never to say I was good at advising others. For a while, I thought he was scoffing at the idea that someone my age could be "wise" or give "advice" and was offended. But I've come to realize that what he says is true. When you advise others, you become responsible for what happens to them because of your advice. Yet still... Maybe it would've been better if we never met. Maybe... I don't want to mend our friendship. Not because I'm angry or bitter or sad or mad. I don't want to mend our friendship because in the end, I can't do anything but hurt you. I don't usually get into arguments with friends. Is that because I'm not close enough to them? Because I push them away? All I want is for you to be happy and to live a life worth remembering. To not be constrained by what others think of you. Because you could be so much greater and better and more amazing. You could do so much. This isn't my apology. This is my goodbye. My farewell to our friendship and my trust that somehow you'll find a way to be amazing. ~ A friend "If I lay here. If I just lay here. Would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

To Those it May Concern, I'm clingy, attached, a nuisance. Selfish, mean, judgmental. Envious, controlling, lazy, weird, a loner and lonely. I'm not smart enough, not good enough, not pretty enough, not great enough, not fast enough, not slow enough, not funny enough, not strong enough, not truthful enough, not kind enough. I don't try hard enough, don't force myself enough, don't hold back enough. And obviously, not perfect enough. Nothing about me is "enough" and I will never be perfect. I'm me. Deal with it.

Technically it's allowed as long as at least three of those players are posting regularly. However, you may discontinue it whenever you'd like.

Laptop, for convenience. And the concern over "we'll get stupider" has honestly been there every single time something new comes in history. We no longer rub sticks together for fire (generally speaking), we use fire lighters or matches...does that make us stupider because not everyone knows how to make a fire with natural materials anymore? Maybe, maybe not. That's a debate that's not going to end so we might as well forget about arguing it here. Besides this topic was made as a poll, not an "Oh, let's argue about what everyone thinks." Don't think Wicky was aiming for that, so let's move on.

Like I said, it's still up for debate and I haven't added it in officially yet. Sometimes people need to be forgiven. And if you think it has a bit too much red tape, I'd gladly listen to any ideas you have to adjust it or to scrap it.

Steven Moffat, you torture us.

Alright, so we're going to restart DCW IRL slowly, with some changes. Again, I'd like to say sorry for what I said before Christmas. First, we're going to try to avoid DCW IRL on the major holidays (New Years, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc.). If there are rounds during that time, they'll be paused for the holidays (New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, Easter Sunday, etc.). For longer holidays, we may pause for a week or more, subject to discussion amongst the moderators involved. If there are any rounds running at that time that players are concerned about, I'd ask you to refrain from signing up. We know that real life takes priority over an online game, but we'd like to keep this enjoyable for people who do want to join. Instead of kicking immediately (and this is still up for debate, any questions or suggestions should be put forth to me), players will be suspended if they do not post for three days. If they return within a period of three days after their suspension, the moderator of the round and global moderators (who keep everything in check) will listen to their explanation. The moderators will have a discussion and vote on whether or not the player may be allowed to resume playing. Past rounds may be considered during this discussion. When the moderators have come to an agreement, they will tell the player and either remove the suspension or kick the player. Hopefully everyone finds this more fair than it was before. Merry Belated Christmas and an Early Happy New Year!

*whistles* Well, I'm glad it turned out well! Thank you, Misaki, for the Christmas gift (and Ange-chan as well!).

!!! Thanks so much! I didn't really expect anything, but this is great! Love you! <333333333

This round, as per the updated rules above, has been put on hold until problems with accessing the site have been resolved. Any questions, comments, or suggestions should be messaged to me.

Update: If DCW is inaccessible or has messages of malware, the IRL round(s) in progress will be put on hold until messages are cleared and accessibility is restored. After messages are cleared and accessibility restored, players have three days to try to make it back. I'm really sorry for everything that's been happening to the players of the current round and would like to amend this as soon as possible. I'd also like to apologize to everyone for everything that's been happening and take full responsibility for it. In particular, I'd like to say sorry to Lovestruck, who I treated unfairly despite everything that was going on. Since things have become difficult to manage, DCW IRL is put on hold until after Christmas, and possibly even after that depending on the circumstances. Again, I'm sorry for the way I've been acting for the past couple of days. It was immature, irresponsible, and rude. Any questions should be messaged to me.

I'm not denying that you created your own character. I meant that your character did not plan to appear on the show, you were randomly selected. And I'm sorry if you were pissed off. Due to so many problems with Chrome and DCW, I'm putting this round on hold. It probably will be discontinued.

(By the way, by "completed the challenge" I mean your mini challenge, not the overall one. You get points for completing that challenge based on creativity, thoughtfulness, and luck [aka random.org]. This main challenge will end on Sunday midnight Eastern Standard Time and you'll learn what you "scored" then. The score isn't that important unless you want a hint as to how to win the Miracle Show.)

With a shock, Misaki teleports to the crystal ball. She falls to the floor, wincing in pain, then lighting up with surprise as she sees the crystal ball in front of her. "Congratulations, you've chosen the potion that sends you to the crystal ball!" the Voice shouted. "Now the only question is, how are you going to get everyone here?" ~~~ Misaki has completed her challenge. Congratulations! Now the question is, did she choose the one she wanted...
