Hello and welcome! I know we've a long while yet - a whole month! - but everyone's all signed up and since there are two players that aren't entirely sure what they're intending to play, I thought it might be best to give you all the opportunity to discuss party composition, marching order, and possibly botting partnerships.
That said, I'm basically a baby when it comes to pbp! I'm currently in the last few stages of running this same module for a non-PFS group. (It was my first toe-dip into GMing pbp since I wasn't sure what I'd be getting myself into!) This means that I've got most of the materials ready and I've got a pretty good idea how I'd like this to go. Given that this is the real world, however, and all sorts of odds and ends come up, I can't promise that I'll be the best GM ever, but I'll certainly give it my all.
As I mentioned in my sign-up sheet's instructions, I'd like to stick to a decently rapid pace. Since this is a module I'll have hopefully completed by the time we actually begin, that means I'm hoping to move along at a rate of two or three posts a day. I'm also hoping for high quality posts with interior monologue and meaningful team interactions.
I know, I know, I'm pretty demanding, right? Still, I'm also very much aware that everyone's got different lifestyles and some people might not be able to check everyday. What I've described is my hoped for scenario. I'm aware (painfully aware, even) that most PFS pbp games run at a rate of a post of day - if you're lucky.
So! In addition to discussion party composition, expectations, and other maintenance before PbP Gameday VI actually begins, I'd like to get an understanding of what you as players would like to see from me. One of my hopes is that I'll be able to keep an open line of communication with everyone, so if I'm being too demanding or outrageous, please don't ever be worried about telling me!
I'm at least 2/3rds compelled to do strange things in strange ways, so if you're even the slightest bit concerned, I'm probably doing something sideways so I'll definitely embrace your suggestions. c:
Anyways, in addition to responding here to open discussion, please dot/delete the campaign thread so you can keep track of what's going on until the game begins!

History: Dio of the Kalhun tribe of Grippli, the smallest of his tribe, saw his brethren slayed by the Hellknight Order of the Coil. Both disdainful and afraid of the Hellknights, Dio has learned to master his own body and avoid the use of armor. Hired as a guide by the Society, Dio has remained in to increase his own power in hopes of waging war against the Order of the Coil.

Sedoriku here! I'm thinking of bringing Menarul. He's almost completely ready for his first adventure at level two (I need to decide purchases and I forgot to go over his formulae list/add another.)
On a PSA-esque note I'm in Japan and on a bit of a bit of a different time zone than most people (i.e. most posting seems to happen while I'm sleeping.) I can post two or three times, but I may not be able to post multiple times without posting twice in a row... (That's not to say I have the best history with posting anyways, but I am going to challenge myself for this!) If you feel this will be an issue, I have no problem giving my seat up to someone who will definitely be able to post multiple times.

@Little Dio: Certainly! c:
Okay, then let's stick with once a day and just kinda... roll along if we get a lucky lot of posts. c:
We've got some pretty interesting locations o: I can't say I've been to either Israel or Iceland before - though I've been told both are super pretty. c: Japan was plain and simple awesome.
I would never kick someone just because they can't post more than once a day! As long as you can hit me up if you're going to miss more than say... 36-48 hours in a row, we're good. C:

Hello dear GM, and fellow adventurer's to be!
Eric Collins - France's PC here.
So, from Paris, France... now we're spanning the globe Timezone-wise for sure!
I am fine with strange things in strange ways, at least to experience what they are!
Chronicle #: 1 (out of the box) Since there are level 2's with us, no need to apply anything and I'll just play her as is
History: Penumbra hails from the Sargava Jungle. She was taken in as an apprentice in Absalom by Dark Archive Pathfinders, who trained her (her father worked w. them on expeditions in Sargava). And she is now ready to be part of the Society.
Player's Name: Eric Collins (Eric Collins - France for Paizo board name)
Character's Name: Penumbra
Faction: Dark Archive
PFS #: 101218-17
XP: 0
Prestige: 0
Fame: 0
Gold: 9 gp 9 sp
XP TRACK: FASSSSSSSSSST... err: Normal
Day Job roll: She can dance, she can dance, she...
...sure cannot dance!
So 0 it is for my Day Job roll. She's lucky anyone tipped her as she go go danced at the local Inn.
OOC: this lady will be a Shadow Dancer one day, and has the most extreme stat array I have ever done (-1 Will Save!)... we'll see if she survives.
Since I do not like to change things when I pass level 2 (other than gear) she is not very optimized (13 STR for a Fighter), since I intend to be Weapon Finesse later on... but I'd rather play her as she is and follow her as she grows.
So, anyone want to dance?!

Alrighty seeing as we have people from multiple different time zones (and in retrospect I'm noticing people in the states don't stop posting until around noon here I guess some of the games I've been in just move slow), why don't we try for the original two posts a day? I'm going to try at least. Sorry for the concern!
That sounds good to me, too. c: It looks like we're going to have an interesting crowd of people! :D
Okay, my loves, I have to announce that the there'll be at least one weirdly timed week. My fiance and family have conspired to surprise me with a cruise from September 30th to October 7th. During that period of time, I will have internet access, but the scheduling may be weird. That said, here are the options I have for you --
1. Post once a day
2. Hiatus until I come back
Please let me know your preference for that period of time. c: I'm 100% okay with either since I've already paid for the internet. c:
As there are four days remaining until the start of the game, please go ahead and begin dropping your information in here if you haven't already. c: I'd like to give our secondaries an opportunity to play if the slated group isn't all present. Thank you!
Apologies for the delay! Instead of just my usual PFS game today, I got hauled in for both PFS and SFS so I've been out all day. I'll try to be a bit more prompt with notices when I realize I'm screwed for posting, though - I really did think I'd be able to squeeze a post in during lunch, but, uh... It didn't happen. @_@
Sorry for the delay! Had a busy morning. c:
I'll be out of town from the 1st to the 3rd! Please enjoy your weekend. c: I'll try to re-up the tempo from the 4th onwards, but I'll have a Swede over, so we may end up doing more sightseeing. c:

Alrighty, it seems we have a choice as to what to do next, and some people want to do the stealth/non-leathal hunting down the documents and some people are wanting to shake down the alchemist. Menarul is definitely for taking care of the alchemist giving his kind a bad name, and personally it would be better to take out the source of the drugs versus the shipping but that is me. What does everyone else feel we should do?
Is there anything I can help with? o: I don't wanna lose anyone b/c of pacing or whatnot. @_@
It looks like we've got 1 vote for the alchemist and 1 for the ship so far. c:
I'm going to be at a local game tonight, so a post might be really late, but I want to be sure everyone's on the same page. ^^
Okay, and the good bard sorts us! The ship it is! I'm a bit excited, since I've only played this scenario once and we didn't do the ship either. c: Also, I'll be busy most of tomorrow (taking my friend to the airport!) so take the time to decide how you wanna take this bit on. c:
Ahahaaaa, but now that my friend's gone, I can go back to dedicating all of my glorious hours to the game, eh? :D
Also, it appears you're still in the planning phase! c: I'll post a reaction/advancement as soon as I see someone engaging. c:
Giving the others a chance to interact and RP through the encounter. c:
You know what? Go for it. I totally didn't expect the 'burn ittttt' path to come up, but, yeah. Okay. c: Acid's always fun to play with, right? I will ask for sleight of Hand for that - to keep from getting any of the acid on yourselves. c:
Menarul, yes! c: I came up with it in middle school and have been using it as my online/gaming handle ever since. c: I think you're the first person that's ever mentioned it to me! :D
Is there anyone else interested in acting with the acid or trying for the Disable Device/other methods? I'd like to advance soon, but I can't if I don't know what you guys are looking to do. c:
That said, I'll be at a Renn Faire all day tomorrow (a friend is proposing so I'm excited~), so talk it over and see what works best for you guys. ^^

Yes, there are real mistakes, but not ones that make you misunderstand.
For example:
"I can't swim readily, so i need your help with...."
that was well translated, fine
"Non! Non! Non! Reste en arrière! J'ai besoin d'une arme si nécessaire!"
that came across with a mistake in the verb (Reste is singular whereas it should've been Restez since plural, but in English it's the same, so...) and the "J'ai besoin d'une arme si nécessaire!" means I "NEED" a weapon if necessary (so that's the opposite actually)
At first I thought you were French Canadian! )))
I don't appreciate racist jokes like that. If you apologize I'll chalk it up to a natural one at Perform Comedy...
I'm French Canadian and so are many of my friends here in Canada.
Not only have I defended France's honor against English Canadians when they make jokes against the French, but I have done so against Americans as well.
So... to have someone from France making fun of French Canadians is doubly insulting. I'm not going to join the rest of the world and make jokes about France, because I find it to be a racist and cowardly act of 'gang-up against the French' conformity. All I ask is that you don't entertain jokes like that against Canadians, French or otherwise.
