"April" is some random Suicide Girl actually... I was going to go with a girl with a righteous mohawk but liked this pic better. She's got a star tatoo which is a good rocker thing to have, along w/a rainbow which of course means she's probably bi like April

And April will be the first one to tell ya she's easy... is there somefin wrong with that?

By the way, everyone has to make sure you stay at the jam location for the full four hours but it looks like we can talk to each other while we're jammin along. Also... I want to claim victory as I got an update like ten minutes before I left

You beat the system!

Look at my recent diary events!

Trick or treat! I just LOVE Halloween. It makes me so happy to go and scare people!

Not many people seem to "re-interact." I have been going up to people just for the fun of it, and no one has ever done anything in return.

I guess I'm a loser.

I interact with everyone of you guys in the band every chance I have.

As for you being a loser....

...most likely.

So masked amigos; how ya like that for a mood boost?? If you have a mask you should give it to a non-masked group member maybe they'll get lucky and still get the boost before Halloween is over

They'll have to put it on, though.

The people who don't have one haven't been on all day.

Anyone want a pin? According to the ninny at home, I need to give something to someone. Although, you'll first have to inform me of how to give an item to someone... because I can't figure it out.

Post by **inSTAALed** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 3:25 am

I'll take it!

-Go to whatever location I am at (right now it's the jam session) and click my name.

-Go to Items.

-Under my items should be a list of your items.

-Find the item you want to give me and click Give.

-Woo! Your mother is happy!

Thanks InSTALLed

I was getting tired of seeing the same wishes everytime, and most of them I can't do. This opened a hole and now I reached 16 complete

Can I join?

EDIT: if I want to join do I just post my name here or do I have to register online with my character's name?

thecoolstuff · Post by **thecoolstuff** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 5:46 am

Okay, now you should start following your 'Mothers Wishes' list. And add us to your friends list.

Read through this thread and you'll pick up a lot of tips and pointers.

The Great Schism is upon us

I've left Never Dies.

Actually I think we have enough people playing we get two bands going, maybe we'll even have our own TBL based Lalapalooza Tour

But I think from the results of our jam session we see that having so many members to learn songs is going to be tough; we learned 6% of 4 songs in four hours rehearsal time

So I think we should split up... so Joe I leave you to front Never Dies if you'd like.

Anyone who has gotten their feet wet witht he game and knows they'll want to play for the near future checking in at least with their characters daily can join me in The Dead Generation if they'd like. This leaves spots for people newer to the game to still have a place with Never Dies.

We can still of course share songs and everything it will just be practice (jams) and shows that will work separate. We'll be like Uncle Tupelo becoming Wilco and Son Volt; just on a much quicker and much less hostile scale. We can also play more shows and generate more money so we can help each other out more, get more skills and just have a whole big teaching community of apprentices. I think we can pull it off

EDIT: The name comes from a track by a Chicago band Sister Machine Gun who were members of the Ministry/KMFDM/My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult scene/era at Wax Trax records back in the day. You can download the track for free actually: http://www.sistermachinegun.com/audio/posi004.jsp

With the influx of bass guitarists, I think I too will jump ship to April's new band. (Follow my head.

)

This game is 'simple' enough that I can spend the half hour or so required twice a day to keep up. Nice find JoeHelmer.

I have got a job now and getting some money. I don't get paid untill friday. Im doing alright with my points also. I have pushed up my vocals and music talents up. This game is brill. I am just going round chatting to people while earning points and trying to get money from a job.

Post by **Calv** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 2:21 pm

I've got basic composing as a free skill from my mum. I'm getting paid $450 every friday

so I should be able to afford a guitar in 2 weeks and still have a little bit left over to start learning how to play it

Post by **Minstrel** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 3:33 pm

I think that while it might sound backward you should save up for or learn your basic instrument skill before buying your instrument because the skill is probably more expensive; and if you spend all the money to get the instrument it will take that much longer to get the skill then. Also if one of us gets the skill since we have multiple guitarists you can apprentice each other because then you are both learning and teaching at the same time so it's like a double effect. I don't think you'll need an actual instrument until you do a gig.

someone invited me to join the 'easy girl' group.... is this the your new group Minty? also, will I be able to take part in multiple band in this game?

EDIT: turns out to be a naked girl (literally) wanting members for her band...

Heh. You can only be in one band at a time which is why I had to leave Never Dies to form The Dead Generation

Btw Shad666 is playing as John Estrada and so he's another person that can join in and then Archi is coming back from holiday soon and he'll probably hop in with Never Dies too Joe just needs to get you guys invites. So really it just came down to that we were all just having too much fun and I don't want anyone left out

I also don't want it to become something that people feel there isn't room for them to join if they want to play.

As I messaged B72 ingame just now It's no big deal I just think we have anough dedicated people to run two bands and it will be easier to not have to have 12 members learning songs. We can get more accomplished by having two successful bands as we can make twice the money and gain twice the resources! So we'll just have two hot bands instead of one!

It also leaves room for Never Dies to be a larger band that can still have oportunities for new people, hopefully Joe will be able to invite you and Shadd aboard.

I think it's going to be me (the Fabulous April 'gives ya' Sherwood), Calv (Cyril Walden), Tom (Jeb Hughes), Ox (Kyle Guillory) and Bruins72 (Palmer Haskins) with TDG still leaving a good core group plus Archi when he comes back to bring Never Dies to stardom along with us... we'll have one hell of a party bus!!

Who knows maybe we'll be able to do our own festival tour with multiple stages all with just TBL spawned bands some day!
