-	~~Written by: The Sandman~~	+
-		+
-	~~(in alphabetical order)~~	+
-		+
-	~~Break~~ - ~~The one who was the most serious about the RP~~, ~~his posts were a careful balance between humor and drama.~~	+
-		+
-	~~Flamuck - A different kind of character, Flamuck played the anachronistic cultist in the RP. He occasionally provided comedic relief.~~	+
-		+
-	~~Grimlock - The one who posted the least in the RP, Grim brought a few Halo references and some broken continuity. He usually had short posts, and overall did not contribute much to the story.~~	+
-		+
-	~~Tydraad - In my opinion the funniest RPer, Tydraad kept the RP funny, simple as that. He was also (probably) the best writer.~~	+
-		+
-	~~Zero - The reason~~ I'm ~~writing this. Zero~~'s ~~posts and character were extremely unbalanced and filled with more overrated anime references than I thought were possible. On the whole~~, ~~his posts were~~ the ~~best examples of poor writing, utter lack of originality~~, and ~~were generally an offense~~ to ~~every decent human literary aesthetic~~.	+

-	~~As is discernable from the title, this page contains various ramblings and comments about the Space RP that ran on AC [http://azure~~-~~chaotic.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=467&view=findpost&p=10580], starting on Jul 19 2006, 08:27 PM (so start reading there). It is highly recommended that you read the complete RP (itself~~ a great example of the best and worst of storytelling) first before reading this. You can certainly continue you reading this article, if you like, but you won't get all the humor or understand all the references made. So... go ahead, sit back, relax, get yourself a drink, take a few hours and read the RP. I'll wait.....	+
-		+
-	Are you done? Good. Let's hope you weren't too scarred for life, yes? So, now that you've read the RP, you probably have a few questions that you want answered. If so, then just put them in the section entitled "The Mind FAQ" and either Break or I will answer them as soon as humanly possible.	+
-		+
-	I can answer one possible question right now, though. If, by chance, you are wondering as to why Break and I are writing this, then look no further than the next sentence. There are several reasons why we want to devote this space to the RP: One, because we want to talk and reminisce about the top-notch humor it was written with. Two, because we want to discuss about how the story and the events in it developed and evolved over time. Three, because we want to spread the word about the RP to those who never read the eerie mix of humor, drama, absurdity, and general chaos. But finally, and most importantly, we want to write this as a word of caution, a warning, and a guide to poor RPers everywhere. This is not just an excellent opportunity for ~~us to bash Zero (fun though that may be ^_^), but also to point out~~ the ~~faults of the n00bs who ruin a good RP with poor writing skills and characters, and how to spot them in your own RP~~. ~~So, that said, let's get started~~. ~~Thank you for sitting through this exhaustive note and for taking the time to read this analysis. See you later Space Cowboy.~~	+

-	I probably don't have as high of an opinion of the RP itself as Sandman does (seeing as I actually participated), but yeah, what he said. The RP itself is shoddily done at points - hell, I'll be the first to admit it. There's broken continuity (though not quite a broken plot), there's bad RPing from every member at one point or another (but not to the point where most of us summon powerful-yet-easily bindable demons or use thirteen Evas cough, cough), and there's our own brand of references from us all (though not to the point where we end up having Cloud Strife unleashing Bankais or something horrible like that).	+
-		+
-	~~Eat my parenthetical writing.~~	+
-		+
-	But it was entertaining! God, indeed, I had a lot of fun with the RP - until Zero came in and murdered Plot Bunny for all he was worth. Still, picking up the fallen pieces of what could have become something great....	+
-		+
-	Yes, I probably had my bad moments as well. Tifa was the same in name only, and Reilina had the same personality (and name) as my D&D monk. And how did Break reach the Masamune from Mars, much less the Asuka? Hm....	+
