Why is it so difficult to join a game in the messageboards, am I doing something wrong?

I'm getting my character sheet on my profile cleaned up.
How many of us are still in, and what are your characters classes? What do you all think the party will look like? I've got a Sorcerer / Oracle
I live in Washington State USA, so its -8 Pacific time. I'm posting this @ 12:48 on the 10th. For the three spells the trait gives a +1 bouns to I think I'll go with
We are getting a big group of people in here, and the due date is getting close.
My Application: Character name: Draig Tywod Race and Sex: Half-elf Male Classes: Sorcerer / Oracle Alignment: Neutral Good Backstory: (In profile and above post) Personality: Young and bold, a little hot tempered, a lot of passion for what is important to him. Writing sample (optional): Character sheet draft: Your experience with being in long-term PBPs (at least three months-ish): Have done a couple, one with a friend running a home made game after I moved away. The last one broke up when the GM was having marital problems. Anything extra you wish to write or questions you want to ask:
@ GM Arkwright I still have that question about the Outlander trait:
If I take the campaign trait Outlander: Lore Seeker are the three spells on my spell list the trait modifies chosen from the spells I have at level 1, or do they change as the game progresses? If they are set when I take the trait can I pick ones I will learn later, or do I have to choose from the couple level 1 and 0 level spells I start with? I would like to take Scribe as my profession Please let me know what you think, and let me know if there is anything else you need.
Backstory: Draig's mother was a wanderer, a half-elf who spent most of her life traveling as a free spirit. She earned most of her work as a sellsword or treasure hunter, but earned money in many odd jobs. She met and traveled with another voyager and gave birth to Draig. Over the years she transitioned to the sedentary life, and found a place to call home and raise her child. Draig has hazy brief memories of his father, seeing him only a few times when moving; and only when he was at a very young age. Draig had magical power manifest early in his life, often drawing mixed reactions from mundane citizens in some settlements they lived in, adding strain to the already displaced half-elves. Power that his mother did not share, and he was told that it came from his father; a figure in his life she spoke of little. As a boy Draig's heritage often served to his benefit, his half-elf blood often noted as being fairer than many of his peers, but there was also something else responsible for his hair having a honey color, and the molten gold flecks he has in his eyes. He aged and matured a little slower than the humans around him, but he always had talent, and often was well known; earning himself nicknames like 'little salamander' because of his now obvious connection to fire. Through the Church of Sarenrae Draig learned the beauty and purity of fire, and was considered to be blessed by the priests. He also learned his letters, and began to read and write as a scribe for Sarenrae, getting an opportunity for education.
There where too many questions that his mother either could not or would not answer, about his father
He got the chance he was looking for with a band of traveling priests. Draig Set out into the world boldly, but encountered trouble on the road.
Draig has traveled to Sandpoint seeking new knowledge. He hunts for ancient secrets, hoping to find arcane wisdom and divine texts.
retyping what backstory I lost, got the early life done. Time for me to go to bed.

Between classes and work today I went on my profile and typed out most of my back story. Just got on to find out it didn't save, there is some kind of timer or something that takes me to the homepage if I take too long to hit 'save'. I'll have to try again after I finish with dinner and homework.
Checkerwall here Rebuilding this character for this game, its a work in progress but here is what I have so far. Draig: Everything else done is on the profile, I'll keep working on it after I post this too. Sorcerer 1 / Oracle 1 Bloodline Draconic Gold / Oracle Mystery Flame - Oracle Curse Haunted Strength 10
Standing by the waterside Draig practices somatic spell components.
Draig leaves the inn to get a look outside and see the water, weather, and other flying conditions
?
"oh, um... I think I can make a horse fly."
"I'm sure I can make it, I've been flying for years and made riskier bets."
"If we each travel our own way, we might see more that way. Greater our chances to find trouble, for better or worse."
Draig is probably a little later out of his room than most, but looks refreshed, and much better than he did yesterday
GM: Draig casts Mage Armor before leaving the inn
Draig notices one of... no two the patrons from the bar following.
The other is the strange goblin keeping his space, but matching in pace. His nature and motive still a mystery.
"I've got the chance, so I'm going to find a decent room for the night. I'm heading for the inn, if anyone wants to camp we can find a place to meet up in the morning."
the sounds of whimpering gnome children that fill the air begin to fade out after just short of a minute after they started
"Theres a test first, to make sure he won't try and kill us when we are resting. I'm sure he has more uses than cleaning up bodies, or he would be dead by now."
Draig is clearly amused by his idea, with a big smile on his face
Magic:
Ghost Sound
behined the bar building or the opposite side of the kiosk out of view from Slin and the other players the sounds of two gnome children and a gnome baby cry out in distress.
"Shes better off, few of sound mind choose this life. Shame I don't have anything to write with, it would be a loss to forget the name of her shop."
looks at Marcy with a smile
@Ronin I saw Deiros, I'm cool with it. I don't mind group two catching up, but I think they have more posts than we do by now. @Xandar you can post actions, behaviors, or body language though. Just giving out ideas, not trying to force you into anything. @Slin I'm trying to post as a sorcerer elf within my experience int wis and cha scores. I had several concepts that ended up getting mashed together, thats why I added my holiday bonus to wis, because how I imagined Draig. I have another theory about where the cave is, but my character doesn't have that knowledge set, and I don't want to metagame.
Draig braced himself and waited for the goblin in front of him to lunge forward or another to attack from behind.
The grit points for the gunslinger is kind of a neat feature, I'd like to see more done with that. The ninja might be good for a stealth game, but its not my sort of class.
turns to Stump
"Poor strange creature, what brings it to a place like this?"
I live in Washington, I might be able to make it.
September 1st I'll be 25 Where is Paizocon? Do you need tickets?
the bottom of the mead is reached, not losing a drop
"If you wish the adventuring life, I can offer you a chance to test yourself."
"I've got about as much reason to trust the rebels as I do the Imperum."
"Can't agree so much about the fighting though. Everyone fights for something, its a necessary part of existence."
Wait goblins are a PC race?
I don't want to sound racist, but I hope we don't mistake you for a monster.
Draig was clearly hungry, and glad to start eating paying more attention to his food and drink that the surrounding conversation
I've lost two good posts to browser crashes now, going to go for a 3rd in a bit
page 30 in the core book table 3-1 This website is pretty handy too
"Do you worry I might hold some kind of kinship toward them?" "Because we are similar in nature or share a struggle?"
@Marcy
@Ronin
"I think the entrance might be hidden by an Illusion spell." "Woven to deceive the senses and mislead minds, a skilled illusionist can do amazing things; far greater than invisibility. It is reality redefined, experienced how the manipulator wants it perceived."
Draig takes point to lead the group to Meronia's Merriments
Draig touched ground in front of the party, and dispelled his invisibility in front of them as they caught up. Holding the wineskin in his hand. "I've seen the shoppes and the lake. I brought this back from Meronia's Merriments, it looks like the very thing you where looking for." looks at stump "Its just down there."
"I'd like to clean this out if I'm going to use it." adjusts his hair and coat from the flight "I didn't see the cave, but I could of missed it. I did see islands along the coast, and a small village to the east." "Some weather is coming in from the water too."
No problem, people mishear each other in real life all the time.
I know Arwin is still at work, and Raignik is really busy; but if theres a reason anyones not posting I think its good to say so.
Ok anyone who wants to make a request can make one at any time now for me to draw their weapons and possibly character for this rp. Can't promise the characters will look great, but I can say the weapons will look good currently working on Aria's weapons and mine and can do anyone else's who wants them done for no charge of course. :) Also Ronin would it be alright for Aria's gun to have a short dagger blade attached to the bottom of the barrel? I'd like to take you up on this if you have the time. I have been looking for a while, and haven't been able to find anything really great to use as a character pic. @Tristan Delacroix:
Almost everything I find for a sorcerer or a wizard is way to vibrant and gaudy. I'd like Draig to look more like a wonderer than a wizard especially since Ren has strict laws against magic practice, society seems to frown on it because its blamed for a great disaster, and its better to keep it a surprise if he needs to use it. Draig is an elf from the desert lands of Kri to the north. He spent most of his young (for an elf) life with his tribe on the road in a trading caravan. He is already experienced with adventuring and scouting parties, and seen battles where not everyone made it.

If your interested let me know.
GM: The spells last about seven minutes each, I cast Fly first on purpose so I'll know at least a little while before Invisibility cuts out. I'm looking anything of significance, and to get a lay of the land. Hopefully spot the Undine, the cave, the kiosks below, etc.
I'd like to swipe that ale/wine to bring back and leave that one or two coins, but safety first; and if I need to land id like to make it as close to the party as possible, near the bar, or the undine.
Looks like we are already pretty close.
pausing to make sure no one is watching
Magic:
Casts fly as he finishes the air around him moves Perception:
a close look would notice hes no longer walking but keeping pace with the group Draig prepares a spell Magic:
Casts Invisibility as soon as hes done with the first hes on the second, and just as quickly vanishes GM: I'd like to get about 40-50ft in the air and scout around, if I see it and time allows; I'd like to sneak away a unguarded wineskin. I'd leave a couple GP behind from my shirt pocket if I got the opportunity.
fly Percaption
"Surely we must, to live and be free in such a world."
@ Group 2
Is that okay with our GM?
"Not that I meant any offense to our two... pilgrims?" Taking care so other groups of travelers don't hear
"I've seen before priests that call amazing divine magics in Kri, but such displays are uncommon in Ren."
"Stumps got the right idea, we will all travel better after we get to know each other over some real food and drink."
