I was writing out my Internet life story on the hrwiki forums, and I got up to the roleplay series I was in in 2002/3. And that's when I realised that roleplay sequels always make less sense than the originals. Or are exactly the same in every way, if I recall some of the roleplays on the KND forum correctly.

I shall call it Shwoo's Law of Roleplay Sequels! I'll be famous! (Is joking about the being famous part if it's not obvious)

I have never seen a roleplay sequel that doesn't fit that, with the only exception I can think of being the CAPTURED/FORTH/DEMON trilogy I did with Nathalie and Numbuh Double Zero. RPG and RPG 2, WARPED and DISTORTED, CHEER and whatever the sequel to CHEER was called, Anime Roleplay and Anime Roleplay 2... I'm not sure why this is, but I think it's something to do with the normal things being exhausted in the original plot, maybe? Or the players being more comfortable with each other after playing through a whole roleplay and are more likely to introduce weird things because they know the other players wouldn't be too freaked out by them.

CAPTURED, FORTH and DEMON stayed about as coherent as each other, except for a rough patch towards the end of FORTH, because the plot of FORTH was obvious from the events of CAPTURED, and the plot of DEMON was extremely obvious from the events of FORTH. Also, with people I roleplayed with a lot, the stories we did in the generalised, non-specific OC continuity tended to make less sense than the others, even if they weren't sequels to anything in particular. We were continually reaching for new ways for the characters to be portrayed to keep them interesting, I think. Unless someone else can think of a better reason for Numbuh 239 randomly deciding to take a trip to the future with Numbuh Six and Numbuh 88 when she shouldn't actually know how to make a functional time machine in such a short time, let alone ones that can take return trips.

Or maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about and should go to bed.

In other news, I'm more interested in the quite dark backstory to the villains in the Homestar Runner anime type story than the story itself. It practically writes itself. Pity it's so spoilery, and pity I had to change the characters' names because it bothered me to think of all this dark stuff as Homestar Runner related. Ah well, at least it's fun to write.

Hiatus from Internet = Not going very well so far.
