Nexus OoC IV: We're All Mad Here

[Trobby]

Due to general agreement between people on both sides of the line, TOWN and ACRO have been merged. Thus, all threads which previously would have fallen in once category or another, should now be tagged [NEXUS].



LONG LIVE THE NEXUS!

:wink:

So, what is Nexus?
Well, the Nexus itself is like a rift, a single, brilliant point where all the universes in this strange thing we call 'reality' meet. Traveling to, from, and between any world or cosmology is theoretically possible here, and the Nexus itself seems to encourage this happening, often sucking beings and locations out of other universes at random, and dumping them on the world that lies at its center. It was not always like this, however. Once there were two worlds at the Nexus' heart, separate and distinct, though somewhat similar in ways. Similar enough that they slowly and eventually merged, so that only one remained. Here in this world the Nexus' influence reigns supreme, and as such the world has defied almost all attempts at classification. Here, knights of old may engage with Jedi knights. Gleaming spaceships land in Dark Age hamlets. Cowboys and samurai quest together to find holy sandwich boxes. And in the heavens above, Xi Wangmu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster meet every Woden's Day to play bowls with Pelor (it gets pretty epic). Here the possibilities are endless, and the universe without rules (except the Forum Rules, and the general FFRP rules, and the Individual Thread Rules, and oh whatever). Welcome to Nexus. Fun is had here.

Major Locales

For an endless world that defies all logic and classification, Nexus can be pretty darn consistent at times. As such, several locations have survived the test of time, remaining (somewhat) constant amidst the chaos of the rest of the world.

Town - At the heart of the Nexus lies the city-state of Town. Self-governed by an elected council, Town can most accurately be described as a city's planner's worst nightmare. A sump of urban madness, here spires of glass and steel can be seen next to Ancient Babylonian slum. Where Hellenistic Temples co-exist with Gothic Cathedrals and the odd Oriental Pagoda. Where crumbling, zombie infested crypts lie untouched in the middle of verdant parkland. It's craaaaaazy. It's Town.

Inside - A sister city to Town, the City of Inside is less chaotic than its close relative. Inside mostly resembles a modern city, with high-rise buildings and apartments, alleyways and roads, though the odd Demonic Monument can still be seen rising up above the surrounding suburb, teeming with dark cultists. Inside is the current seat of the Acronymian Empire, which controls much of the surrounding area.

Outside - If you ain't Inside (or in Town), you're OUTSIDE! :smallamused: Simple as that. Outside is a meta-thread for all those wildernessy type areas that don't merit their own threads, be it wood or lake or tiny shack.

ACRONYMS - Home to adventurers, these complexes provide headquarters and occasionally living space for like-minded Player Characters. Invariably equipped with cheesy names, these structures provide a place for their various members to fight crime, cause chaos, or have kinky lesbian sex. Current Acronyms include:

AMEN - Association for the Malicious, Evil and Nefarious. Evil aligned organization, exists to be EVIL! And sometimes Ebil.
HALO - Heroic, Anti-evil and Lawbreaking Organization. Non-Evil aligned organization, exists to smite wrong-doers.
GLoG - Good League of Good. Good aligned organization, exists to redeem evil-doers.
NO - Neutralist Oganization. Neutral aligned organization, exists to arbitrate between other organizations, and occasionally do their dirty work.
WATCHTOWER - You Know What? Screw It. Non-aligned aligned organization. Exists to destroy threats to Nexus, whatever form they may take.


The Taverns
What kind of vaguely DnDesque adventurer would you be if you didn't visit one of these places at least once? The various Taverns, Grills, Hotels, Cantinas and Restaurant provide meeting places for the Player Characters, areas for quest givers to stand mysteriously in, and also places for people to eat and spend the money they seem to have infinite amounts of. Though there are a vast number of such places in Nexus, some with their own thread and some without, throughout history three major hubs have existed, without which Nexus as we know it wouldn't exist. The Dancing Fox Inn, which is located in Town. Taverna Generica, which is located near Inside. And Trog's Tavern, which is located, maddeningly enough, in Town and Inside at the same time.

As many times as Rein has double crossed everyone, it would still surprise me if he were going to do it now.

{{What sort of stuff happened?}}
There's a Digest for this stuff! :smallmad:
But I'm putting it here cause I might need it for a post later anyways.

Held captive for about 6 weeks was the least of it. Escaped to get recaptured and interrogated by Watchtower. Found out his son was coming back from hell to destroy everything. Found Phoenix was a vampire. Only quasi-rescued him. Went BSOD on a gnome NPC after going ballistic on him. Had to fight and kill his son again, in part making him wonder if it won't just happen again and again. Found Anshu was a egotiscal creep who let Ebon Mirror run rampant. Found Melody in Coma. Jezebelle was shot and killed. Happy nearly died, Lyanna nearly died, Estia had to grieve. Jack gave him a complete head trip and pressed all the right buttons about how he's a monster. Then Tanker raped him and birthed some hideous monster. Then was forced to face that fact that as a clone, his life may not have any meaning before he topped it all off by sending his newest friend into a coma fighting such a fate.

I give no guarantees of any actions. But when have I ever?

[The Bushranger]

Bah. I strained my neck earlier today (http://the-interstitial-spaces.blogspot.com/2009/04/warbler-neck.html), and it's making me feel pretty miserable. So I probably won't be on for too long tonight. :smallfrown:

[Artemis97]

(Oh why, oh why can I not do anything that doesn't make people upset? Oh, that's right, my own personality. No way to do the only way to fix this without godmoding. I should have not tried using the old AMEN style on anyone, cause everyone is willing to hold a grude, and not willing to let bye-gones be bye-gones

Stupid willingness to try to salve the last bits of my idea of Gordon's story.)


I've got no problem with what you did as a player.

Ilpholin has a HUGE problem with what you did and is going to take herself and her potential drow army support and hoof it.

It's all IC reaction, sadly.


So, what do you two say, Reinholdt and Artemis97? Will you give me another chance, a replay? Please. I'm sorry, about this, its the overheating problem again.

So... I'm confused as to what all the trouble's about... and since I Ninja'd Phantom on the first one, I don't think it has anything to do with Raril's reaction...

[ThePhantom]

Its a problem I have every now and again. I get overheated, and my sense of what's okay and what is not okay goes down.

All I'm asking is to just recon the showing of the video.

[horngeek]

...I'm a bit confused. So, you want to retcon because of IC reactions?

Because, as Reinholdt stated, he has no problem OOC with Gordon's actions. Unless you think they were out of character for Gordon's personality, there's no real reason to retcon, in my opinion./third party opinion, ignore if you want

[Artemis97]

How did you get overheated? And did you seriously write that whole post in under a minute? o.O

[Moff Chumley]

I think its a fun vs integrity thing. Everyone was acting IC, but I don't think the outcome would be fun for anyone...

[horngeek]

Okay, yeah. That's the other reason that a retcon should happen.

[ThePhantom]

It is a little out of character for him. He doesn't like waste, and that wastes the video use for blackmail.

[Reinholdt]

The thing is... it was totally ok to show the video. I don't think Moff should have gotten involved, but it was quite In Character. And Ilpholin's reaction is coming from IC as well. She hadn't had a chance to discuss possibilities with Gordon since this is the first she's heard of his plans. And she hates him with a passion now for showing the video. And she's going to temper-tantrum. She's always been sort of a spoiled little girl at heart despite the tough guy act she puts on.

But... it was all IC. There was no bile to my knowledge, nor OCC reactions. I'm not sure it should be retconned based on that.

... Also GEEZE you people are fast.

[happyturtle]

It's sort of up to Art and Rein. The rest of us should let them decide.

[ThePhantom]

How did you get overheated? And did you seriously write that whole post in under a minute? o.O


I think its a fun vs integrity thing. Everyone was acting IC, but I don't think the outcome would be fun for anyone...

I get overheated by being in a closed room with too many computers for too long. And I type fast.

And thank you for that Moff, its not very fun if the video is played.

[Artemis97]

I'm going to say no to the retcon. I mean, seriously, how did you honestly expect them to react well to that?

Saving it for blackmail later, not a good enough reason for me. Honestly, I don't think it would make good blackmail material anyways, considering the particular moral standings (or lack their of) of Illy and Raril.

[Moff Chumley]

Sorry about jumping in, wasn't a good idea.

[ThePhantom]

Okay then. No recon, I'll just try and fix this in character.

[Artemis97]

Raril's not getting hostile, yet. Honestly, you've got the upperhand, there. Being a big mean dragon and all.

He will probably suggest Illy move out of AMEN though.

[Moff Chumley]

On a related note, Gordon, when do you think you can get that secondary base thing going? I've thought of a brilliant name. Ready? RAMEN. :smallbiggrin:

[ThePhantom]

Soon, but not tonight, causes I'm deadtiming.

This Raven/Ingi thing is way over my head now. :smalleek:

[happyturtle]

Huh? Ingi had a kid before he died. The kid showed up in the Nexus and found Jazirian because Jazirian got a blood transfusion from Ingi. How is that complicated? :smallconfused:

[Morty]

Reelshka's going to fawn over a cute little baby dragon. >.>

[Reinholdt]

Huh? Ingi had a kid before he died. The kid showed up in the Nexus and found Jazirian because Jazirian got a blood transfusion from Ingi. How is that complicated? :smallconfused:

Cause I'm trying to figure out how Raven had it with Ingi and who shapeshifted for whom.

[happyturtle]

:tongue:

Step 1: Figure out a way for two different species to reproduce.
Step 2: Figure out a way for two males to reproduce.
Step 3: Somehow undo Raven's asexuality.

After you've managed all three, I suppose Raven would be the one shapeshifting, because Ingi never took human form.

[Reinholdt]

SEE?! See how far over my head that is? It's like... up here.

Compared to here.

Or something.

Na na na na na na na na PLOT CLONES!

(sing to the tune of Adam West Batman)

[Trobby]

I haven't even gotten any of them involved enough in a single plot to warrant said clones yet.

Heck, Kris doesn't even belong to any of the groups yet! And Tobias is just following Val around at the moment. Heck, he could have an airship any day now!

I could do something with Katie maybe, but she doesn't know enough people yet to really have anything she could do.

That, and I want Project Mayhem to describe his "sorcery" a little more to me before deciding whether or not to give her the power.

[happyturtle]

Just stick one of them in a tavern and chat with people.

We probably should just rename them 'thread clones' or 'tavern clones' rather than 'plot clones'.

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Justifying the existence of plot clones. That's a good one.

[Trobby]

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Justifying the existence of plot clones. That's a good one.

;w;

But I...I'M LOGICAL! D=

...Wait, no I'm not. <.<;

Well, I'm semi-consistent at least. And I firmly believe that unless a character literally has a clone or is somehow experiencing multiple universe syndrome, then there should be a limit to one "you" or less.

So if I ever do "clone" any of my characters, you can bet it will be in reference to what they would or could have been doing in the past or future.

[Snares]

What're the plot clones about, out of curiosity? Are they like handy rules-of-existence-benders that allow you to randomly mooch around taverns while you're also off slaying the evils of the universe or something?

I'm thinking of bringing in a new character myself too. One with scope for accidentally interfering in all sorts of things! :3

[Trobby]

I was thinking of doing that, but then I realized I'm way too lazy to get involved in the scope of things. ;p

Also, I think it's just a way of allowing characters to interact with more than one person at once, so that you aren't left with a character who isn't going anywhere...maybe.

[billtodamax]

Basically, yeah. Say if your character is conversing with someone that's deadtimed, and you wanted to play them somewhere else, you just do, jabs at continuity's rotting corpse optional.

[Earl of Purple]

@ Snares: Yes, basically. Or also to partake in multiple plots simultaneously.

@ Introbulous: I really enjoyed the plot-clone-conversation-thing.

[Trobby]

Thanks. :3 I wanted to make it as absurd as I possibly could.

Of course it can become a pain if used foolishly to clone someone say... 5 or 6 times at the same time and eventually something bad happens to one and you have to decide how it affects the others.

I don't have experience in this field at all. Honest.

[billtodamax]

GAH!

Reinhoooooldt!

Can you change the link you have in your signature so it isn't that wide? I keep accidentally clicking it and it's really annoying.

[happyturtle]

The safest cloning is a tavern clone that just hangs out in one of the tavern threads to interact with people while another clone is off adventuring. The most extreme can have you with multiple clones in the same thread. Not recommended for first time cloners.

[billtodamax]

Do not clone if you suffer from spinal injury, if you are pregnant, or if you think you might become pregnant.

Consult your doctor before cloning.

The implication is that, since you know my opinion and seem to be going on with the DOOM anyway, you clearly don't care about it.

Oh. So if my characters don't all act in a manner aligning with your opinion, suddenly I don't have any care for it? Interesting.

I can promise Cal's not coming back. I don't like interacting with you people with him. You should have no concern of him coming back. Hence the silly swan princess tutu comment.

[Darkcomet]

The sentiment seems quite common, though, if I may say so myself.

Even though we care about your opinion, some of us do enjoy DOOM-ful plots. So we have some anyway, and you don't have to be involved.

Why are you still talking about this?

[Darkcomet]

To specify, I meant the constant end-of-the-world stuff in general.

Or maybe it's just bad memories of the last ones you did getting to my head.

Out of curiousity, what happened, and what problem did you have with it?

[Trobby]

I know about the world ending - I just don't know *how*. He seems an ordinary cat. That can turn pink and float.

Are you asking how a harmless-looking, powerless character could ever become an apocalyptic threat?

You want me to PM you instead, Murkus? It doesn't seem like I'm allowed to discuss it openly.

[happyturtle]

Out of curiousity, what happened, and what problem did you have with it?

Lots of ooc unpleasantness, which is why Rein wants to drop it. Though I'm sure he ninja'd you and you didn't see his post before asking.

So let's have some lolcats. Or lolowls in this case.

[InyutheBeatIs]

CHUMLEY Says: what it be an apocalypse plot if I flooded Nexus with a neverending army of Moffclones? :smallconfused:

Well, with the sheer destruction value that would inevitably come from a large concentration of Moffs in any given area...

Probably, yes. :smalltongue:

[Recaiden]

Hey Iames, isn't that Exalted writing Anshu has (high realm script?) written top to bottom?


CHUMLEY Says: what it be an apocalypse plot if I flooded Nexus with a neverending army of Moffclones? :smallconfused:

When you consider what a single Moff can do to it...yeah, I'd say so.

[Moff Chumley]

I think the Law of Conversion of Moffishness applies here, though. Each Moff would only have the destructive power of a tipsy dachshund, but with enough Moffs... :smalltongue:

[KerfuffleMach2]

Okay, so I'm considering tossing a young Zel into PACK.

Anybody got any ideas how to go about this? Besides her just popping into existence next to somebody.

[The Bushranger]

Yay Zel!

Have her just wander up, accompanied by parent/guardian? :smalltongue:

[InyutheBeatIs]

I think the Law of Conversion of Moffishness applies here, though. Each Moff would only have the destructive power of a tipsy dachshund, but with enough Moffs... :smalltongue:

Yeah, with enough Moffs it really doesn't matter if they all have the power of an ant, they'd still cause enough destruction to make it on "Modern Marvels". :smalltongue:

[KerfuffleMach2]

Orphanage representative.

Could I get somebody to act as a tour guide like person for her? Show her the dorm and stuff.

It's for me and her.

[Trobby]

Hmm...

I have the sudden desire to add an English Teacher to the PACK.

[The Bushranger]

Doooooo eeeeet.

And they could show Zel around.

And then she could meet the Magical Girls! :smalltongue:

[KerfuffleMach2]

Doooooo eeeeet.

And then she could meet the Magical Girls! :smalltongue:

That...would be interesting...

Alright! I'm off to make her first appearance...post...thingy...

[Trobby]

It would be a he, actually. ;p And I haven't even begun to build his character.

He would either have to be a "Normal", or an "epic badass".

....Oh, and there's a distinct possbility that this character will be an expy of myself.

Only thing I had a problem with as well. <.<; I might have to change his quirk to be more workable.

[Zefir]

Hey people,

I already made an char but I dont now what to do now. Can somebody help me ?

[Project_Mayhem]

Having him wander into a bar helps. Have you read all the new players advice stuff?

[Zefir]

I have read most of the FFRP Central: All players start here! Spoilers but i am quiet not sure how I bring him on. I am a bit confused which thread I need to post or should post.

[FireFox]

Oh right, I have a literature teacher at PACK. >.>
I still have that lesson plan, so if anyone wants to be taught about the importance of Milton and Dante in the cosmologies of the Nexus, just say so and I'll get around to posting.

[happyturtle]

Best place to start is in Trog's Tavern. Just have him wander in for a drink.

[Trobby]

I actually did notice that. ;p Hence why I quickly added a few other areas of expertise like language to give him something to do besides "another English teacher."

Incidentally, would it be more, less, or no change at all in how powerful he is if, instead of having precognition, he was simply able to notice everything around him?

Mind you, he wouldn't be like Encyclopedia Brown who notices only the important things, and he would not have the deductive reasoning skills of Sherlock Holmes. In fact, there's a good chance he wouldn't even know WHY he knows certain things, like whether everyone is in class or not, or that you are actually a gold dragon. But he wouldn't know WHY he knows that. Just that he does know it.

:/ Or maybe something else...now that I have him down as being in divination, I really want to make him be able to do something unique with that.

Exactly what this person says. Trog's is the standard place for a character to start.

The thing about this is that OoC Knowledge is a good way to raise the hackles of anyone here. Personally, so long as that is his specific power, I'd be fine with it, but others may take some exception. I have two ideas for you: When RPing, make sure you ask the other players for permission before you just have him stating things. Let them determine just how much they want said out loud. Some will prefer to keep their characters' secrets invisible to your diviner, but others will respond more amiably. The other suggestion is to give your character the flaw of self-doubt. A sort of Self-Cassandra Syndrome, as it were. Because he doesn't know WHY he knows what he knows, he may be more likely to disbelieve it.

For example: Jim Davidson's intuition/precognition/subconscious tells him that Aurea is a Gold Dragon. But he doesn't believe that because, really, she looks like a harmless young lady and there is no rational explanation why she should be anything but that, so this clearly must be his overactive imagination running away again.

*Shrugs* I hope this gives you a starting place, at least.

[Trobby]

I do fully intend to ask people before revealing the biographies of their characters. And I think self-doubt would be a great flaw to have him take, since it fits rather neatly into his current personality.

Thanks FF. :smallwink: I think pretty soon I'll have him as a working character.

[FireFox]

You're welcome.

I feel like the Carl von Clausewitz of FFRP though. I've got the theory down pat and can teach others, but I don't have the chance to practice any of it myself. :smallsigh::smalltongue:

[Trobby]

Do wish you could play more, because you really seem to know what you're doing. :smallwink:


Also, I've been soul-searching, and I thought of something that might be a solution to my problem.

Maybe I could make him normal.

I mean, it worked for Xander, it could work for him. With the way the Nexus works, he could run into any number of self-altering things that change who he is, but it might be just a little interesting to play someone who, despite being a part of the Nexus, has never had any military training, never had any special powers, and whose only real unique talent is an affinity for languages.

This...could have just as much potential.

[VampireRot]

If you're a Britlander like me, you'll know that Jim Davidson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Davidson_(comedian)#Controversies) is a bit of an unfortunate name... he's not very well liked in Britain.

[Trobby]

I am not, in fact. :smallfrown: That's unfortunate, since I was trying to base it partially off my own name. But I guess I can change it a little if it has bad connotations.

I'll just call him Matt instead. And I think I'll put him in the Pack too, even though I'm still not sure if he has any sort of divine sight yet.

Maybe I can get away with playing it by ear...

[horngeek]

What's the Pack?

[Trobby]

Er...sorry, I meant the PACK. o.o; *coughs* <.<; Darn you, acronyms! :smalltongue:

[FireFox]

Wenomir needs to tell the rest of WATCHTOWER that Toby and Reinholdt are working together to stop Ebon. >_>

And Ilyenna needs to finish that spell for Toby, so he has a chance at not being immediately slaughtered by the Exalted. :smalltongue:

[Moff Chumley]

Totally forgot about that. I'll do that for you, shall I? :smalltongue: *on it*

EDIT: Gotcha covered, good sir. :smallsmile: *points to WATCHTOWER*

[KerfuffleMach2]

Hey, um, may I request somebody in PACK to pick up with my intro post for Zel? Maybe play an NPC tour guide or something, what ever you want.

[Trobby]

Ah...I would offer something along those lines, but I'm new too. ^^;

Somebody go help out though! We don't want the poor students to be all alone when there are villains running about!

...Not that we'd know about that at all.

[KerfuffleMach2]

You know, it might be good for Kris and Krystal to meet. Sounds like might have a kind of similar past.

If you didn't know, Krystal is a mutant. Yes, the Marvel kind.

And I'll be back in a few minutes.

Anywho, yeah, your Kris. Just reading through what she's telling Rose, and I kinda figure it might be interesting for her to know Krystal. Fellow outcasts and all that. Well, past outcasts, anyways.

I've had a greater singing tendency today than I do normally.

First it was Beast and the Harlot in religion class, then it was What's This? from Nightmare Before Christmas, and now... A WHOLE NEWW WORRRRRRRRRRLLLLD.

Oooh...that would be interesting. Heh...though Kris isn't so much down and out on her outcast nature. Just around the humans from her old world who were racially insensitive. She's gotten better about it.

Still, she DOES love meeting new people.

"Er...could you try to keep the monochrome down just a little more? I think some people might get nervous if their colors get stolen."

Tobias isn't SURE if there are any chromatically powered beings in the Nexus, but then again, he wasn't sure there would be a talking blob creature. So there you go.

There's one at least. Her name is Charity, and she's around somewhere. But not being undeadtimed tonight.

[Trobby]

There's one at least. Her name is Charity, and she's around somewhere. But not being undeadtimed tonight.

See? Tobias is just being careful not to offend anyone. :smalltongue:

[happyturtle]

How/why does Tavlii dispel color anyway?

[Recaiden]

Why? It's a mild curse buried somewhere in Atorre's backstory.

How? :smalleek:

A wizard did it! With psychic powers. Actually, she offended, in a purely non-color related fashion, the beings who oversee color.
Um...a field that holds in decomposition to the entire visible and near-ultraviolet spectrum all electromagnetic waves within that spectrum.
The strength of the field is inversely proportional to the distance from the nearest living part of her.
Psionic in nature.
So lines of sight passing around her will contain less color. Anything that is, or that is seen by something that is, psi-proof will have full color.

[horngeek]

In other words, a Wizard Did It.

Can't you just say the Gods of Color don't like her? :smalltongue:

[happyturtle]

I have absolutely no idea what would happen if Charity stumbled across her. Though it isn't completely an opposite clash thing, since Charity's is an active control of color, not a passive creation of it.

[Trobby]

I imagine she'd have a very difficult time controlling what is not there, is all.

[ApeofLight]

Iames *cough* GLoG *cough* post there *cough* *cough* *hint hint* *cough*

[Recaiden]

Probably, Charity could force some color into the field, and/or use the little bit around the edges, her powers over color made more difficult/reduced, but not gone.

[Beans]

Iames *cough* GLoG *cough* post there *cough* *cough* *hint hint* *cough*

http://ludens.com/sites/default/files/images/ludens_home.jpg
Back, foul cough! Rid his throat of your presence!

[happyturtle]

I imagine Charity would be unable to make Tavlii colorful, and Tavlii would be unable to make Charity monochrome, but what if Charity was spraying color in Tavlii's sphere of influence?

Probably will never come up. I don't know when Charity's next round as an active PC will be.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Probably will never come up. I don't know when Charity's next round as an active PC will be.

Should we start placing bets?

Really? I seem to recall Jeremy/Vengeance threatening and evicting Gordon once, on the basis of 'I know what you've done' and assumed that it was due to contact with Gordon himself, and not one of Gordon's victims... :smallconfused:

True enough about the lack of survivors though. KR used to make Josef Mengele look like Mother Teresa by comparison... :smallyuk:

Look around the Nexus for a library. I don't know if we actually have one already though, so you might have to ask one of the more veteran RPers if we do, or if there are any other repositories of knowledge available.


Indeed.

...none of my characters have really nasty backstories-

"Right, there's a distinct difference between the two. Also, you have me to cheer you up now, so you'd better not get all mopey just because you had a tragic past. K?"

[Trobby]

Awww... Poor ReinholdtC

;p Well to be fair, none of MY characters ever met Reinholdt.

But the thing is, after reading that spoiler, I personally as a player cannot look at him the same way. :smalleek:



Which Slavic? There are a few, you know. :smalltongue:

I knew SOMEone would catch that. :smalltongue: I was mostly trying to assure people that he spoke quite a lot of languages, some of which would seem entirely unnecessary until you consider the nature of The Nexus. He's a native, you know. ;p

Also, to answer your question: Yes.

;p Well to be fair, none of MY characters ever met Reinholdt.

What few people remember or bother to bring up is that he was being all corrupted by an ancient force by the name of Astir that took advantage of his weakened mental state after having to shoot his own son.
So you're not confused, that's Reinholdt Prime, the Reinholdt who's not around.

Reinholdt Clone/Current didn't actually play any part in the Apocacon and like most Reinholdts are actually very much against the act and loathe the idea they even thought of it.

Like I said, read the whole Digest. It's all there.

^ Oh. Well... sorta. Each and every Reinholdt believes they're doing the best for everyone's sake and is helping out.
Calublufiok was just out for himself.
Depends on what you fear the most.

@^: To be fair, I only recently realized it. I was like "Hey, haven't I heard that song before?", and then I looked it up and was like "Oh hey, I did! And it's a really good song too. Long, and highly instrumental...I think I've found me a new song to listen to. :smallcool:"


Good. Then they won't be ready for...
Err...
I mean to say that you can extended deadtime with some of your characters. You don't HAVE to RP all of them at once and you'll quickly burn out on them if you do. I usually only RP one or two of them at a time if I can help it.

:smallconfused: But...I LOVE to role-play characters. :smalltongue:

But I think you're right...and to be fair I have basically DTed on Katie until a Plot appears to pick her up. Or rather, until something interesting happens with NO.

But I'll keep it in mind, in case I need to take a break.

*Rubs hands together*

And I surely hope that Reinholdt surprises them. I do like surprises. :smallbiggrin:

Probably not. If they talk to him, he'll likely just dribble angst on them until they go away. :smalltongue:

Presuming he even escapes the current encounter alive! One never knows!

[Project_Mayhem]

Raz'll take her for dinner or something as soon as this dagger trade is finished

[Trobby]

Note to self: Do not have Kris meet Reinholdt.

Take your time. :smallwink: I can basically keep Katie in the forge all day long and she'll be happy as a clam.

[Project_Mayhem]

Are clams especially happy?

[Trobby]

Usually. As long as they avoid walruses and carpenters.

Or was that oysters? :smallconfused:

But yes, she's perfectly happy.

[happyturtle]

Really? I seem to recall Jeremy/Vengeance threatening and evicting Gordon once, on the basis of 'I know what you've done' and assumed that it was due to contact with Gordon himself, and not one of Gordon's victims... :smallconfused:

True enough about the lack of survivors though. KR used to make Josef Mengele look like Mother Teresa by comparison... :smallyuk:

I could be mistaken in my interpretation of the character. I'll poke Wolfy here to clear it up when he logs on.


What few people remember or bother to bring up is that he was being all corrupted by an ancient force by the name of Astir that took advantage of his weakened mental state after having to shoot his own son.
So you're not confused, that's Reinholdt Prime, the Reinholdt who's not around.


The main PC victim of the Apocacon, Sunny, only knows of Astir's existence from the records of Reinholdt's announcing he was taking over the Nexus in Astir's name. Neither she nor Charity have any idea of Astir's mind corrupting mojo. But corrupted or not, he was still acting out a plan of his own design, of his own free will. Astir didn't ask for or even want what he did.

Never said those two knew. Was merely explaining to Intro the whole story since the Digest isn't being read.

[happyturtle]

Okay.

Also, Zefir, since Eternal Drifter hasn't been in ffrp for a while, you can probably just do a cut scene of him finding, or not finding, the information he's looking for at the library.

[Project_Mayhem]

Reinholdt's digest is an epic number of pages long by this point :smalltongue:

I should probably do one for Raz to save mistakes later ...

It's immensely useful for remembering details of plots past though.

Also for getting a good time estimate of when things happen so you can dig through and find the thread you need by comparing time stamps.

[happyturtle]

Everyone should use the Digest thread. *pokes everyone to it*

[Trobby]

I HAVE used the digest thread. ;p I just...only have gotten as far as a few pages into backstory. ;w; K?

Betcha you haven't seen my backstory link in my sig either, huh?

Also, you know I's good cause of my picture! I dyed my fur a bit first.

I am deeply suspicious of you now.

But also desire cuddles.

;w; Why must you be so cute, Reiny?

Oh wait...

*GLOMP*

That's right. =3 I'm affectionate towards you. ;3 *lick*

((Ahh, and you thought I'd forgotten about me shipping myself with you, hadn't you?))

[Zefir]

Okay.

Thank you but its hard to say if I find it there without knowing what the libary keeps. Is there another place that may help my research?

Andy search for information about airship engines.

[happyturtle]

The other option is to PM Eternal Drifter and ask if he wants to post. I know he's still on the forums, because he's in my werewolf game.

[VampireRot]

A question for the Moff and stuff.

When is the NEXUSSTOCK going to start? Once a suitable magic-engineer to get everything set up is hired/kidnapped, or just whenever?

There's the Bronze Pyramid located Outside. I should probably get some of those dungeons of mine a location on the first post at some point. Not that the Bronze Pyramid or Dalachrech's Hermitage are dungeons, although somebody nearly turned the Pyramid into one.

Your character isn't scared of myriapods or other invertebrates, is he?

I believe you are looking for the term 'higher functioning autism', unless there's a new type of autism I'm unaware of. Alternately, you could use Asperger's syndrome, which isn't the same but very similar. Be careful when portraying it though; at least two regular players are Asperger's.

Yes, that IS what I meant and I am very embarrassed to have made that mistake. <.<; And don't worry. It doesn't really show very much. And it's actually meant to be a mis-diagnosis for his actual condition - being an unaware psychic.

Though...if anyone here who DOES have autism finds offense in that, please let me know and I will change his application to be more PC.

Isn't it just 'high-functioning'? And 'Introbulus'? :smalltongue:

Also, Intro specified 'diagnosed', at which point my mind jumped to thinking that he was misdiagnosed and the only thing 'wrong' with him is not knowing about his power of knowing things.

And here I am being ninjad by mere seconds. At least I was right.

[Trobby]

Yes, you were. I'm actually impressed, and kind of happy that I was able to portray that through text alone. :smallsmile:

[Earl of Purple]

Sorry I misspelt your name, Introbulus. And it might be high-functioning not higher functioning; I haven't looked at the wikipedia page recently.

As one of the two Asperger's people I mentioned, I don't find the misdiagnosis offensive.

[Trobby]

As one of the others, I think we should increase the count to three. :smallwink:

It's okay though, I didn't actually have any problem with how you spelt it. It's not like it's an actual word after all.

I'm pretty sure it is "high-functioning", though "higher-functioning" might also be acceptable. Dunno for sure. It is listed as "high-functioning", but seeing how I understood what you said anyway, I don't think it makes that much difference.

Thanks for the correction though. I'd prefer to be corrected than to keep being wrong. :smallsmile:

[Morty]

*pokes threads*
I feel like playing, but I don't know who or where... Wenomir and Dipsnig are trapped within the deadtimes of the people they're talking to or want to talk to.

Michalson. AMEN.

<.<
I thought about putting him there, but I'm not sure if he'd fit well... if only because he'd immediately set out to murder Rot.

And that's different from everyone else there... how? :smalltongue:

[Morty]

Good point. I guess I'll think about it some more, then. He still doesn't mesh well with AMEN's plans for global conquest.

[happyturtle]

He'd be all Srs Bsnz about it and wouldn't stop just because Gordon told him to.

Also, NexusStock (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=170560) thread for those interested.

[Trobby]

I am totally interested, but I have NO idea how any of my characters could fit in. o.o;

[happyturtle]

Then just wait for the actual concert and show up as concert goers.

[Morty]

As I said, I had an idea that Wenomir would become a metal guitarist... but he doesn't really have any way of getting there either and has more important stuff on his mind.

[Snares]

AMEN seems like a fun place, I plan to have a character in there at some point. I do have an evil character lined up, but I can't introduce them for a while, and besides, I'm not sure if they'd want to share global conquest with anyone but themselves... :smalltongue:

Also, small inquiry - can I conveniently have a few RL bands suddenly land in the Nexus to play NexusStock? >.>

[iElf]

hmm....this nexusstock thing looks interesting...maybe I should have a living and non depressed version of Din turn up there...or bring a one shot character out of perma deadtime again

[The Bushranger]

Welcome back Moofin!

[Eternal Drifter]

Drifter's back... for now...

I really ought to have the Eternal Library's description updated, with a notice of if wishing to contact Drifter to PM me to get my attention.

...Any luck with the destroyer of those books of his? I stopped paying attention...

[Morty]

Hm. BR? Could you have Shawna meet Wenomir in WATCHTOWER so he can tell her about Ebon Mirror, Tobias and Reinholdt all quick-like so she can then tell the others? I don't have much time and I'd like to get this done...

[happyturtle]

No, Kael seems to have vanished into deadtimicus again. :smallfrown:

[The Bushranger]

Consider it done!
