just a side note:
Godmod is technically when you do something godlike, in my opinion - though there are some that would debate that.
I prefer powerplay to fit into a different category, as someone who affects other's characters unduly without prior authorization or consent (like words or actions that the character's player did not write).
PRP (Power RolePlay) is debated for both terms. Some say it is effectively godmodding, others the act of using PC or off-limits NPCs of someone else's ownership.
edit:
Honestly, it's been so long since I've had to use the terms, I'm almost unsure if I'VE mixed them up too...

Me = Kailae from the old VotS, which was also my first thread. I left for a year after it petered out, and when it came back I changed my handle (I felt uncomfortable having characters named after my handle, since I personally don't like to think of my characters as 'me').
Cerulean Skies was 'my' thread. Back then, although it was everyone's decision to start a VotS sequel, I was very insistent on trying to GM it and quite hung up on the idea of the thread being 'mine' - which sounds really childish now, but that was how things were then. That thread died due to my fault, but I think it was a good thing, at least for me. It taught me that there was a lot I needed to learn, and not just about writing, either.
I was also here for Endless Skies, which was Geco's reboot. I think I had a few good ideas come out of that, but towards the end, I just kind of lost my compass. I wasn't really sure where I wanted to go with my characters, and started just making posts for the sakes of it.

Ah, Kailae - of course I remember, now. Incidentally I chose to rp a female character to man the helm in Skysail, in part as an homage to Kailae. Good times.
I've unearthed saved Cerulean Skies documents - I somehow don't remember it carrying on for 5 IC threads. Not to mention all the facepalming at my own writing.
-
Heavens - I'm loving the back and forth between The Belgariad and Saoirse (Dangerous Angel!).
I think my Sunday will be spent reading VotS and CS in their entirety.
-
don't worry phoenix, we're all facepalming at your writing from those days... JK! It's at ALL our scribbling...
I lost all the archives I used to have, harddrive crashes and what not. Can you email em to me? jollyren at g m ail dot com.

I remember Cerulean skies being Phoenix' invention because of a discussion about leonardo de vinci, who we both adored at the time (I still do). I think we voted on it though.
perhaps i am mistaken though.

Phoenix, I would love if you could send them to me too :)

Incidentally I don't seem to have the original VotS. Shari, do you still have those word docs to possibly distribute?
____
Sent. It's something like 12 or 13 word docs. Hopefully everything went through fine.
-
I don't, unfortunately. They were on a pin drive that my dog decided was an appropriate toy. I can see if Bel still has them, though.
-
Just a note that no one answered of Phoenix's...
Yes, GI was the one why used molotovs in the first thread. ^_^ lol
And, as a side note, I never really left the boards. My thread has just been so inactive recently that I have lost the will to read it...that, and eeeevil college classes...midterms....and finals...yick! ^_^

Being an aspiring new utopia rp this was a good read, Ty!
