((I'd be up for another one of these entirely. This one was a blast. Bella was a character I'd already been tinkering with before even starting this RP, from a short story I was writing "Oldboy Network", but she wasn't a major character at the time, which is why I picked her. Because everything hadn't been completely planned for her yet, so I'd get to make some of it up as I went. Worked great.
She was a lot of fun to play, and I was pretty positive she'd die, I too thought didn't think she'd make it through until the end. But the way things had to end for her was too fitting, near perfect. She's one of those characters that just isn't destined to have a happy ending, no matter what. Too many problems. Too much drama from her background and she wasn't completely mentally stable either, though she (for the most part) hid it well.
It's been tremendous fun, and I feel like I was part of a huge epic here in having done this. If you can come up with a player pool and the time, please start another one when you're ready Vio! And also thanks to Alx for playing an absolutely devious character that was easy to hate at times and easy to relate to at others, and his artwork, excellent work there btw.))

I just wanted to thank you all for taking part! Especially to alx for supplying the artwork and to play the role of the villian - nevertheless when he died I took the reins of the Jordan Victim; and Dwz for being my partner in crime (he was roleplaying as the Victims - Brian, Kris, and Phineas) and I have to admit that his zeal did get Christian and Jordan killed, but hell it was exciting for me to watch him hunt you guys down as you explored the world and since I didn't know what he was going to do next. BTW, I love the UFO ending, who needs drama when you got giant fighting robots and copyrighted attack moves which are announced in advance - old school style. But, I have to give props to alx for creating practically all of the images for this game, which helps the immersion so much! I used to compose music files for these games however the MIDI sound quality is just too awful, and I am too poor to buy better software... I really wanted to give Bella and Jim a happy ending, and I was hoping that you guys would figure out the ritual in time, but oh well it is better this way. Toadkiller is right, a happy ending just doesn't fit the characters too well. Wait a minute, Jim is still alive, and in a mental hospital, that would make a perfect returning character if I put together another Castes RPG don't ya think? Well, I'm glad that someone got a happy ending out of this, James has a new start, so there my OtherWorld is not entirely evil, although you kinda have to forget that over a dozen people died, one lost his mind, and the End of Days almost happened... I'm glad you guys enjoyied the way I tried to place your characters in uncomfortable situations, to get them to grow. And about the monsters, I have always liked the kind of situations when the character has to outsmart the enemy - who is much stronger. For this kind of forum game, having the characters overpower the monsters becomes very boring and not very scary... About a sequel, I would need some time to get my life in order with all of this work in the Realworld, and there are a couple improvements that the administration is going to make to the Forum itself, and then I (and alx, help?) have to develop a new game - new levels, monsters, weapons, etc... Perhaps, I will make the next one shorter, this one got away from me, it lasted one year and nine months and was roughly 1,366 posts, I'm just happy you guys stayed with it and didn't get bored, I'll work on tightening up the pacing in the future, and cut down on the ambushes which got a bit repetitive in the middle. Well in order to make sure that the game stays well contained, I will close this thread and open a discussion thread so we can discuss the Ten Castes game, and bounce around suggestions for a sequel. I would love to hear critiques, suggestions, and general discussion about Nine Castes, Tenth Caste, and a possible future game! www.shfotherworld.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=576&page=1
