Article: Website Review—The Furthermost Rubifavovitch
By Cyra
Looking for that special role-player—creative, slightly
psychotic, out of the box. Sense of humor (even if it’s only a small amount) is
a must. A Swedish accent wouldn’t be half-bad, too. Those who don’t know how to
have fun shall be turned away at the door, and possibly beheaded. Apply within.

You see that ad? A country needs your help. Do your duty,
brave RPer, and make the journey.
The FR is an original roleplay proudly brought to you by the
Fates*. We’ve finished our move from Livejournal to Invisionfree forums, and
we’re searching for role-players who are willing to go where few have ventured
before—the Furthermost Rubifavovitch, an original fantasy world that mocks our
own, where slightly mad fifteen year olds rule countries and there’s a License
required for pretty much everything (including breathing).
The site is definitely lacking design-wise—it is just a
little message-board, after all—but it makes up for it when it comes to matters
of role-play. Sure, things can get enormously silly—what, did you expect otherwise
from us?—but we’re proud to have some of the best writers around on our team.
We’re looking for more of that sort of folk.
It’s been compared to 1) traditional stories of derring-do
and faraway kingdoms with a modern, humorous sort of twist, 2) Terry
Pratchett’s “Discworld” series, 3) an increasingly odd Monty Python skit, and
4) Oz gone very, very wrong. The FR is a great place to let your imagination
go—there aren’t a whole lot of limits on what you can do, unlike a lot of
role-plays nowadays. Where else would you find a character like a pig farmer
who has accidentally married his swine, or an inverse
pickpocket**?
Basically, the entire point of this is to lure you in to
going—so go on, pack up those bags (and don’t forget your umbrella). The
Furthermost Rubifavovitch is waiting***.

* A fancy name for Cyra, Fidget, and Rystan.
** Basically, a normal pickpocket—only, instead of taking
anything, he’ll slyly try to slip money into your pockets.
*** And it happens to be very impatient.
