Good luck to all. I've got some really strong competition and I can only hope that my banality plays in my favor.
Yes, good luck to everyone. I know we will end up with a great party no matter who is picked.
ravenfall here. I wasn't able to update Gema's background before now because there was a Comcast outage most of the weekend, unfortunately. It's now been added to her profile for consideration, and I'll duplicate it here:
Such has been the constant struggle for Gema, an android from one of Numeria's many otherworldy ruins. Unable to remember to remember anything before her awakening on Golarion and left only with vague recollections and stray voices in her head, she can often be found staring up at the starry night sky, pondering what lies beyond. She was found by a pair of adventurers on the outskirts of the Felldales, still sleeping in her pod, undisturbed by the crash or the passage of time. Their intrusion and suspequent investigation accidentally awoke the android, who found herself without memory of who she was or where she had come from due to a malfunction in the pod caused by the crash. Rather than let her fall into the hands of the Technic League, the Kellid, or worse, one of the many ravagers of the Felldales, the adventurers took her with them back to Aaramor.
Unable to remember her true name or purpose, the android took the name "Gema", a malformation of a word etched on the pod she had been rescued from. Thankful to be free from her pod but confused and unnerved by her lack of memories and her nonexistant sense of palce, she stayed with the adventuring pair. In many ways became like a daughter to them, as they taught her of Numeria and of Golarion, of their gods and customs. She was smart and aware enough of her otherworldly origin to know she was not of Golarion, particularly once she was able to explore the ruins across Numeria with her adoptive parents. She longed to know what she had come from and who she was, and often spent long nights outdoors staring up at the sky ponderously. Anything she could find that might give her a hint of her origins in the ruins she would cherish, though most anything she found herself was damaged too far beyond repair to use.
Taking after her mother, she learned to harness Golarion's magical energies through hard study and sheer force of will. Her studies proved different than her mothers, however - wishing to help others the way she had been helped by her adoptive parents, and wishing to use her magical skills to impress others and curry their aid into helping her find out more about Numeria's ruins and their origins, she learned how to twist the magical energies she wielded into curative magic, so that she could help others and return life in a more meaningful way - so she could repay the compassion given to her in a way she could understand and express.
Often turned away from by the few other androids she's come into contact with, and chided for the current state of her being, Gema has finally left her adventurer parents and set out on her own in the hopes of finding what, exactly lies out in the stars - and where in the Dark Tapestry she came from to Golarion. The world may be her new home, but nothing would mean more than finding out about her true home. Now, all she can do is hope she can aid others well enough to accompany them on their expeditions into the ruins, and the answers that hopefully await her there.
Gema is hard working and industrious, usually determined to see something through once she puts her mind to it - regardless of how long it's going to take to accomplish whatever she's set her eyes on. She also exhibits a sense of curiosity somewhat uncommon in other androids; despite this, she still doesn't really have a grip on the idea of emotions, and often finds herself confused or frustrated when trying to express herself in a manner she feels like the other races of Golarion would appreciate or accept. She WANTS to move beyond simple and logical affirmations of gratitude or action, but finds herself unable to.
Despite this, she tries her hardest to show a sense of gratitude, compassion, and general positivity, even if she sometimes winds up way off the mark due to her inability to properly comprehend or express these emotions. Instead, she goes off the actions of others, something that can and many times does end with misunderstandings.
She often dresses in white or green clothing, often loose and somewhat flowing, with a hood to protect herself from the elements as needed. She likes to dye patterns into her otherwise plain clothes, often in her prefered colours, creating an odd bit of uniqueness to her otherwise typical android demeanor and appearance.
Hopefully I can still get in for consideration given the circumstances, but I understand if not. Either way, best of luck to everyone! I love the selection of characters for this one.
Techslinger small aasimar techslinger on a riding dog. Sort of a tecno hobbit with an attitude. He was stranded after a short run through this adventure, but I can keep what little I learned to myself and out of character knowledge separate.
Time zones are wicked... I keep getting excited because it's now Monday evening in Australia. >.>
Sorry, guys. Something came up and I've only been able to go through some of the applications. Selections are going to have to be tomorrow. Thanks for the patience!
It's alright! Take your time! One more day isn't going to kill us.

Says you. ;)
And here I was all worked up because I saw new posts. Ah well. Take your time, we'll all be eagerly waiting, I'm sure.
*chews fingernails anxiously*
yep, likewise. hope whatever it was has been sorted out ok.
Take all the time you need.
Gives me an opportunity to catch up on also wishing everyone good luck.
I'm guessing that I didn't get selected? If so, darn, but have fun, all.
I think the GM would let us know in the thread...

I can see that the Gameplay thread has been set up (unconnected to the Recruitment thread) but none of the players have checked in yet. I don't know if that means that PMs have been sent or if that was prep work.
If they haven't gone out yet, I'm sure it will be very soon. (I haven't gotten a PM, so I don't know either way.)
The Mummy's Mask thread played out the same way, but people have checked in. So I dunno? Congrats to anyone who has or does get in though.
I haven't heard anything either. Has anyone gotten a PM?
I'm guessing he's made the thread, but hasn't sent out PM's yet. Otherwise, someone would have checked into the game thread. At least, that's what I'm hoping for...
That was my assumption as well, after I saw the gameplay thread. That, or no one has checked in and just none of us got picked.
Since I haven't gotten a pm, I can assume that I didn't make it, but it's cool. I had a lot of fun designing my characters. Good luck and congrats to those who were picked and to the gm thanks for the opportunity!

Final decisions haven't been made yet. Those will be up tonight. I always forget how indecisive I am with recruitment and having two going at the same time has not improved that. Thanks for your patience, guys. :)
No worries, take the time you need! Picking players for a game is never easy @_@. I'm interested to see who's picked out of the pack of ideas we have this time.
Thanks for the heads-up. Take your time. :)

Oops! Threw in the towel a little early. I just assumed since the players for Mummy's mask had been picked that the players for iron gods had been picked as well. Sorry for jumping the gun there. :(
Thanks for letting us know, GM. :)
Yes, it is appreciated.
Thank you for letting us know and thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
Glad to hear it! I was wondering why no one had heard anything. Still hoping to be one of the lucky few.

Same here, although I feel like I shot myself in the foot by tossing in the towel earlier. Lol!
Still good luck everyone!
PMs sent. Thanks for applying, everybody!
congrats to those who got in... have a blast!
Congrats to those selected and thanks to Olmek for the opportunity.
You're welcome. Have fun to those who were picked. And to the gm thank you for doing these recruitments and the opportunities they presented.
Well, shucks. Good job those who got selected and have fun.
