Greetings Players!
Welcome to what hopefully will be a fun filled time.
Expectations:
Have Fun Seriously, if your not having fun why are you playing? If for some reason you are not having fun, message me and I'll see if I can fix the situation.
Roleplay This is possibly an old Cam adage that follows me, this is a roleplaying game not a "roll" playing game, we do both but one helps the other. Try and describe a bit of what you are doing, this is one of the advantages of PbP -- you can internal monologue, you can describe your weapon flourishes, ect and your not slowing down the game. Talk among yourselves in character - it's fun!
Vital Statistics This is to make everyone's life a bit easier, this puts everything in your tagline to help adjudication situations where the GM rolls for the whole party. I've added a how to guide for joining on the signup page.
Posting I'm going to aim for non-Weekends once every 24 hours. This doesn't mean I ignore you on the weekend, or it will take 24 hours per round of posting. If everyone has posted, I'll move things on.
Rolling I will roll the following to set up things and only really to keep things moving.
- Initiative
- Perception (hidden)
- Saving throws

Realized I forgot this part above because I've mostly run for people when I've moved a few years ago and thus have a set of phone numbers to text people to remind them.
Botting:
I will Bot under the following circumstances:
* It's combat, and 24 hours have passed;
* You tell me that you will be gone for a few days, and ask me to bot you.
I prefer not to bot, but I want the game to keep moving. If I do bot you, it will likely be minimal. I won't use player non-renewable resources except in dire situations.

Some helpful information so we don't forget it in having fun.

Player Name/Alias: Michael Hallet
Character Name: Favian Aldori
Character Level: 10
PFS # / Character #: 2608-9
Faction: Sovereign Court
Perception Modifier: -1
Initiative Modifier: +14
Favorite Color: Royal Purple
Day Job Roll (if any)
Some combat notes:
Favian's AC plummets when flat-footed. However, to combat this, he will use his ability to take attacks of opportunity while flat-footed (kensai ability iaijutsu) to use the Flamboyant Arcana deed Opportune Parry and Riposte against the first eligible attack while flat-footed.
While traveling for long periods, Favian will wear his suit of +1 darkleaf cloth studded leather, which carries a 5% arcane spell failure chance. When he knows his going into a dangerous situation or somewhere he'll spend hours rather than days exploring, he'll UMD his wand of mage armor to replace the AC bonus and get rid of the spell failure chance.
Favian's monkey familiar, Desmond, has the bodyguard archetype. He can use the bodyguard feat 3 times per round to protect Favian. I will roll them on Desmond's turn, but as Desmond has Combat Reflexes, he can still use them even when flat-footed. When either Favian or Desmond take damage, I can choose to split the damage between the two of them.

I also have 2-3 characters at high tier...
a level 10 Dragoon/Cavalier with AxeBeak... pure beat stick with a lance
a level 9 evoker/cleric Mystic theurge - blow crap up buff and a little healing
i could bring my level 10 counterspell abjurer... but the immediate actions get very tedious on PbP. but he shuts down opposing mages.

Player Name/Alias: Redelia
Character Name: Hania
Character Level: 11
PFS # / Character #: 184425-1
Faction: Silver Crusade
Perception Modifier: 0
Initiative Modifier: +4
Favorite Color: purple or aqua
Day Job Roll: [dice=perform(sing)]1d20+
The alias needs to be updated from level 9 to level 11, but the work is done on paper. I will take care of the alias as soon as I get the kids tucked into bed for the night.
Hania is a relatively easy paladin to work with, and has been known to sometimes walk away for a moment while her friends tell a necessary lie.
Illmakis!
I too have a couple characters, a 10th level gunslinger, and an 11th level archeaologist.

According to signups we have:
Magus 10
Paladin 11
Cavalier 10
Psychic 10
We have a decent amount of melee with that mix, a bit of magic and a splash of healing.
I like the idea of adding a gunslinger and bard/oracle myself, but that's just my opinon. Not sure what our skill coverage would look like.

Alias is fixed. I'm sorry I didn't get to it yesterday; the website was not cooperating when I tried.
Note to the GM: Hania has memorized the spell paladin's sacrifice. It lets her as an immediate action take the effects of an attack on another to herself. I can't give you any rule exactly when she would use it, but she at least considers it when there's a scary critical hit on a squishy or any situation like that. It's rather a hard spell to make run smoothly in play by post, but it's saved a character's life at least once.
In terms of what everyone should play, I agree, bring what's fun for you. I don't enjoy in game conflict with other players, so I hope no one brings a necromancer or other almost evil character, but that's just my hope.

Player Name/Alias: Hawkwen Agricola
Character Name: Ryster
Character Level: 10
PFS # / Character #: 65114-7
Faction: Scarab Sages
Perception Modifier: +17 (19 to notice stonework)
Initiative Modifier: +7
Favorite Color: Sand
Day Job Roll: [dice=Day Job (Craft Alchemy)]1d20+
I need to level Ryster to 10, but it shouldn't take very long, I've already done it on paper. Also, I'm out of town this weekend, so posting may be spare.

As I see your character introductions, I'm a bit concerned that Hania may be a very poor fit for this party. It seems the party as a whole is solidly neutral, rather than good. Do you guys think we can make this work? Hania is a bit flexible, but she does have to adhere to a paladin code...
Might make it more of an interesting story!

Yeah, my concern isn't you guys doing evil things, it's that this scenario may be one that offers a choice between the easy way and the good way.
I also have gotten used to finding a CG friend in each scenario. They tend to be the ones who can tell the almost-truths that Hania can just turn away or remain silent during, if it's necessary.
It sounds like we'll just have to work it out if something comes up, though.

Your paladin can't be any more conflict than a couple arrogant high intelligence casters :D
As for the one scroll of life bubble.... 5 pcs and an npc want benefit... so 6 way share of 700... 560 if gm allows my boon to discount it. Which equates to 93.3 gold per target.... 186.6 for fabian.
But only caster level 5 so 10 hours divided by 6 targets... 100 minutes each.
Two scrolls total 1260 with discount on one.... 210 gold per target... 420 for fabian.
And someone does have to keep the unused scrolls in the end and reimburse the others.
Or the monkey can get delay poison with Draa.

4th level spell means caster level 7 minimum, so 14 hours split like Favian said: 6 hours for him, then 8 hours to split between two other buyers; covering all 5 party members would require that 8 hour duration to be split in 2 hour increments, so: Favian and pet 3 hours each, then everyone else at 2 hours each.
Cheap solution:
Favian plus pet: 300gp (6 hours)
Everyone else: 100gp each (2 hours each)

Altogether, probably about on par with Hania.
About 75% of Hania's base hp, but I can choose to shift some damage to my familiar. I tend to have ablative barrier up which allows me to convert 5 damage from each hit to nonlethal.
My base AC seems to be better than Hania's and my touch AC is a lot better plus I have ways of increasing it.

^^^ A lot of that.
Every time I would write everything up and post even if I got past the server goblins, it would immediately log me out and not post what I just sent. Log back in, paste what I had copied, immediately logged out.
A few of us were about to have who ever manages to get it to post to let everyone's games know its the website. It wasn't just a 10 min thing, it was anytime we hit submit across many browsers, even my phone.
