Armageddan

    Looking back, I can't help but laugh at the first page or two of Fallout - it was like someone try to play Dungeons and Dragons for the first time. But the entire RP was loads of fun for everyone involved, and I'm very happy at the way it turned out, especially considering it was my first attempt. Hey, even my little brother enjoyed reading it.

    Armageddan started Fallout: A Post-Apocalyptic Adventure, and was thus the first person to join. He wrote 41.74% of the story, doing so in forty-three posts. He now goes by the username Trauma Advocate.

CaviosDaryll

    This was definitely the best RP I have ever been in. And after re-reading it, I can safely say that this is the best RP I have ever read. No other RP will ever be nearly as high on my list as this one is. The entire RP was funny and fun, but three particular things in Fallout: A Post-Apocalyptic Adventure will always stick with me in my mind. And they are, from my least favorite one to my most favorite one:
    1: A post by RoboOfProtoDome. RoboOfProtoDome's character is Dart, he has a very high charisma score, and is like a Jedi in the way that he can convince people. He has just joined and they are now heading to a nest to kill some Radscorpions.

   Dart: As far as taking down those Radscorpions, I think I've got it *taps the M16 a couple times, and it fires off unintentionally*
    Tom: Hey! Watch it!!
    Dart: I did nothing.
    Tom:.....you did nothi--Stop that!!

     2: A post by Armageddan. Bailey was nauseous and had stumbled into some guy's house, he bumps into a bookshelf and knocks a bunch of books over. He begins flipping through one of them he is interested in.

   Man: Say, did you want to just keep that book? I've got a few things to take care of, and I don't really need i-
    Bailey (Looks up quickly): Really? Oh, geez, thanks! I'm sure we could really use this.
    Man: "we?"

    3: Any scene that involved the mutants Larry, Gary, Sally, and Harry.

    CaviosDaryll was the fourth person to join the role-play. He wrote 20.44% of the story with twenty posts. He now goes by the username BoomerangFlash.
Warrior Frog     The Post-Apocalyptic Adventure was my first RP. It was a lot of fun as well. All of the character's creators worked well together, which I saw as a huge plus. It had a great story, and I enjoyed using Scott to help the storyline along. My favorite part of the RP was probably when we were caught in this gang's bunker, and the gang leader had all of the team's good weaponry (like the Pack and Flamethrower). Scott had shot open the Pack and there was gasoline all over the place, and the Boss took out the flamethrower and lit the whole place on fire. That was some good times.

    Warrior Frog was the sixth person to join the role-play. He wrote 13.19% of the story with eleven posts.
Mr. Snowguy     Though I joined the first one more than halfway through as a ghoul, I was really pleased that I could be part of such a delightfully different RP. This was the first RP that I had ever joined- which is probably for the best, since working with Dan has been a lot of fun.

    Mr. Snowguy was the seventh person to join Fallout: A Post-Apocalyptic Adventure. He wrote 8.40% of the story in thirteen posts. He now goes by the username Snowguy.
gamerman     I think the best part was the giant chicken. The way we took care of it was golden. The constant bickering between Cavios and Tom was fun too.

    gamerman was the third person to join Fallout: A Post-Apocalyptic Adventure. He wrote 5.33% of the story in twenty posts. He now goes by the username Zuntrios.
Wizard     It was unfortunate that I joined at such a late point in the first one, and to my dismay, I made a huge error in my first post. But thank goodness for Armageddan's generosity in letting me stay. Although I wasn't as bad "certain" individuals...

    Wizard was the eighth and last person to join the role-play. He wrote 5.08% of the story, doing so in only four posts.
Dr. Destructo     Dr. Destructo was unavailable for comment. He was the second person to join the role-play. He wrote 3.80% of the story, doing so in eight posts. He now goes by the username Darksteel Titan.
RoboOfProtoDome

    Well, it was an experience that was....well, let's just say original. I liked the effect of adding certain attributes to the characters, especially traits such as persuasion and the like. The cast was quite interesting as well, like Ash and Cavios, who brought severe comic relief to an otherwise intense and serious plot. It would not have been quite the same without everyone who was involved in it.

    RoboOfProtoDome was the fifth person to join Fallout: A Post-Apocalyptic Adventure. He wrote 1.97% of the story in just four posts.

Matthias     Fallout was an RP that had a blend of great elements: good action sequences, a varied cast of characters, and a very good (if somewhat dark) sense of humor. Witty and exciting to read, this was a very strong RP for a freshman effort. Thumbs up to Armageddan and all the cast! October 12, 2005
Ricky     This RP was done very well. The banter of the characters, especially Tom and Cavios, was hilarious, and done correctly- it never descended into a hate-fest. There was a lot of humor, which was an excellent touch to the seriousness of the story. The pacing was pretty good, though I have to admit that final battle with the super mutants seemed to come out of nowhere. To me, it really served no purpose other than giving this RP a "final battle". Besides that, though, I found this story to be written well, and I must give kudos to everybody involved, especially Armageddan for pushing it so hard when everybody kinda disappeared on him for a couple weeks. Great job! October 17, 2005
