[NEXUS] OoC 21: Blackjack, But No Hookers

[Ashen Lilies]

WELCOME TO THE NEXUS!



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.

Inside - 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, 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 anything of the sort. 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.
LANTERN - Lawful Awesome Not-Neutral Truthful Anti-Evil Respectable Nothing Else. Good-Aligned group dedicated to fighting evil and crime of any sort.
NO - Neutralist Oganization. Neutral aligned organization, exists to perform mercenary contracts for other organizations and individuals in the Nexus without taking sides
WATCHTOWER - You Know What? Screw It. Non-aligned aligned organization. Exists to destroy threats to Nexus, whatever form they may take.
PACK - Perfectly Acceptable College for Kids. The local Nexus school. Class mostly occurs offscreen, though...
Aurora - Not really an ACRONYM, but the brainchild of several disgruntled LANTERN members, an organization dedicated to the betterment of the Nexus in general.


The Taverns
What kind of vaguely DnD-esque 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 What used to be Town but is now another part of the Inside. Taverna Generica, which is located near Inside's more NPC inhabited areas. Finally, there is Trog's Tavern, which is located, maddeningly enough, at every corner of the Nexus at the same time. There is also the Black Dragon's Den, it's located roughly between the docks and the slums of Inside, and is the local hive of scum and villainy.


General Nexus FAQs:

Is there a guide to getting started? Besides this post, which you're currently reading, you should also read post 3 of the stickied FFRP Central thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9241295&postcount=3). Once you've read both, you can ask any questions you ask in the current Nexus OOC thread. If you have no questions, post in the Nexus OOC anyway to introduce yourself. And welcome. :smallsmile:

What kind of character can I make? Any. There are no restrictions on genre, alignment, world of origin, etc.

Will my power work the way it does in the source setting? Almost certainly not. In your setting, you may have been the Mighty Zorlox, whose power to control the world's socks was absolute, but in the Nexus, you may run across Madam Bo Peep, who controls the world's wool.

If my power goes against your power, who wins? In combat or any type of adversarial situation, the defender has the final say. So if Zorlox tries to turn Bo Peep's wool socks purple, Peep's player gets to decide if her wool power prevails. But if Bo Peep tries to have a pair of wool socks strangle Zorlox, then his player gets to decide if his sock power wins.

Oh no! Someone's already using my character concept! In the Nexus, all cosmologies are true. Just because someone is playing the incarnation of Death doesn't mean you can't as well. You are very unlikely to come up with a character concept that is wholly unique while remaining playable; there is nothing new under the sun, and so on.

Sometimes you'll say 'I just came up with a great character idea - they have x race and y abilities and z backstory and I'll call her Linda' and someone will say 'You mean like my character Lynda over there that I introduced last week?' No one really knows why these sort of coincidences occur, but the Nexus seems especially prone to them. When they do, the best thing to do is to fiddle with your character concept a bit to set them apart.

Where should I start? Long answer, you can start in any thread that isn't a private thread or a plot thread. Short answer, Trog's. Just start at Trog's.

Do I need to get pre-approval for my character, or fill in a registry form before I start? Nope. You can if you like, but it's not required. And sometimes it's better to get a feel for your character first, before deciding all the details about them.

Your first character (copied from FFRP Central)
So, you're ready to make your first character. One of the hardest things to get used to in ffrp is that you don't start out in an adventuring party, and there's no DM to push characters together. You'll have to actually find people to interact with on your own. Here are some tips (not requirements!) for making that easier on your first character:

Don't be the quiet person in the shadowy corner. If you roleplay as someone who is outgoing and talkative, you'll find it easier to make IC friends. Someone who is curious or greedy will be more open to plot hooks and adventure opportunities. But if you roleplay someone who is shy or quiet or wary of other people, you're likely to be left alone.
Don't be openly evil. If you walk into the tavern and start murdering npcs, you are unlikely to make a lot of friends and very likely to get jumped on by a bunch of PCs who were looking for a fight.
Consider starting low-powered. It's tempting in a freeform system with no scores or points to decide that your character is the best at everything, but where will they go from there? They can always gain powers or magic items or skills as they go on.
Don't be too needy. Remember in ffrp, you are not THE hero of the story. You are A hero, and there are many stories. The characters you meet at first are likely to be involved in their own affairs. Some players start by having their character immediately in need of rescue, healing, training, attention, etc. This can work well, but make sure you have a plan B in case there is no one willing to drop everything to devote themselves to being your rescuer! Can your character make it if they receive only a minimal amount of help, or none at all?
Don't be too self-sufficient. Remember in ffrp, you are not THE hero of the story. You are A hero, and there are many stories. If you are a combat powerhouse and a healer and a master of obscure lore and a spellcaster, people are likely to get weary of their characters taking a back seat to yours and decide you can do just fine without them.
Be aware of deadtimes and real life. Sometimes, not many people are online and active. Sometimes the people who are may only have a limited time to play and want to use it to progress their favorite storyline instead of meeting new people. Try to be patient and remember that it won't be long before you'll be the one wrapped up in your own favorite storylines. Talk to people in the ooc thread while you wait for your character to get 'stuck in'.
Have fun! Remember this is a game, and if it isn't fun, you aren't doing it right. :smallsmile:


Note: This is the OOC thread. Not a roleplaying thread. That's what the actual roleplaying threads and SMBG are for. :smallwink:

[Land of Pavement and Possibility]

A young adult female stands in the middle of the road, surrounded by the infinite possibility of the city Inside. She has brown hair, a somewhat pale complexion, and rather ordinary street clothes.
On this particular day, she decided to finally explore the city.

What is this young woman's name?

>Enter Name

"Florence Valentine"


Your name is FLORENCE. You are not particularly fond of the nickname FLO and frequently insist that everyone use the entirety of your first name.
Sometimes you allow friends to call you VAL instead.

You have spent most of your life STUDYING, particularly the arts of ENGINEERING and FORENSICS. You're MUCH BETTER with the former, but you find the latter EXTREMELY INTERESTING.
Lately you've had odd BURSTS OF INSPIRATION and created many strange and complicated APPARATUSES. One such apparatus sits on your shoulder, a CLOCKWORK HAWK.
You have decided to go out into the world to see if you can find any more INSPIRATION or use for your amateur FORENSIC TALENTS.

>Florence: Wander streets.

I see someone's been reading a bit too much MS Paint Adventures. :smalltongue:

[Chaotic Bob]

Ayup.
There's been a few MSPA-based characters (TE's trolls and Rebo had a PC using some abilities modeled off the detective story), but I don't recall anyone going full-bore with the narrative style.

So I'm giving it a go. >.>

[ThirdEmperor]

The reason I don't use the narrative style when playing my troll characters is that it's really, really difficult. Heck, I'm having trouble playing the two troll characters as properly bizarre as it is.

[Chaotic Bob]

I think it shouldn't be /too/ difficult, unless people demand proper not-third-person talking.
One-way chat-clienting could be a bother.

[Earl of Purple]

Nope. I like my Roman Numerals. When you make the thread, you can use the hindu-arabic. :smallsmile:

And through my lifetime, I've never seen VIIII = 8. I have seen IV or IIII = 4. But V has always = 5, so VIIII would be 9.

Now, if we wish to travel in time, and find out how the Romans really did it; get me a TARDIS, and I'll happily do so. :smallsmile:

Discussion ended on my side.

EDIT: And I used a Roman Numeral generator. So that's as accurate as I can get it.

I have discalculia; it's like dyslexia but with numbers rather than letters. I miscounted the Is in VIII to make eight.

I'm not here yet, just catching up. And now I'm gone again.

[Beans]

I'm first. And back. Maybe.

*prods LOTRfan to the railgun victim thing, for Morty*

[happyturtle]

As expected, I have crashed hard after arriving home. I'm just glad the crash waited and let me have a couple of frenzied days with the family as we rushed to get everything done (including a very last minute mexican meal on Sat lunch, from which we left directly for the airport!) and two trips to the fabric store in two days! I'm also grateful that I didn't crash while travelling.

I won't be posting today. I may not be posting tomorrow either. We'll just have to see how it goes. As always, if my characters are in the way, feel free to godmod them (within reason) to allow rp to progress. Though I can't remember at all if that's a factor.

Mhmm. I was thinking of having her either end up in Trogs, or the Black Dragon. Hadn't decided yet. Will probably take a short break then post in whichever one she ends up in. :smallsmile:

[Halae]

I actually wouldn't mind putting one of my characters in her way. How would she feel about meeting a psychic?

[celtois]

Short break ended up being a bit longer then short. :smallsmile: Ah well.

I doubt she'd have much of a reaction to psychic given that limited psychic powers are normal among her people.

And off to post in Trogs.

Welcome back! :smallsmile:

Eileen's unconsious in an upstairs room at Trog's if anybody cares to visit her.

Thank you. I had the day off of everything that's been chewing time up so I figured I'd post.

Hmm Alexis or Coralie could visit her. If either would know where to find her.

[The Bushranger]

Hmm. I suppose I could have her stumble downstairs, the better to make finding her easier. :smalltongue:

Sure! The trolls managed to crash their session by throwing a timeclone of Nix from a doomed timeline into a kernelsprite, then prototyping that kernelsprite with all the others (as well as trying to hack the beta discs and a few other epicly stupid decisions) ending with them crash-landing in the Nexus, pursued by imps with time-powers. I never actually stated how many trolls were playing though, so if you want to use that incident as an excuse to introduce a troll character, go ahead.:smallsmile:

He does. At the moment, he doesn't know what to do with it, so he's stashed it at his apartment.

Did you want something to be done with it?

[The Alexandrian]

*Pokes Morty to GLoG.*

[Earl of Purple]

The D20 Artifacts want to be used, like the Objects. Unlike the Objects, the D20 Artifacts don't compell owners of one to collect more; rather, they teleport somewhere else if left alone for long enough. Generally somewhere there's a possibility they'll be found. Incidently, if Eric ever drops it, chances are it will land point-down and completely vertical, often sinking slightly into the floor if the floor is softer than, say, the swordblade. So basically any unenchanted material besides adamantine/adamantium, mithril, orichalcum etc.

The odd, stonelike not-stone some statues I post (Gabriel's dancer, the harpy statue Harnel found his D20 Artifact, GLoG's Rain Statue and the D20 Door) are magically reinforced and hence harder than the swordblade.

[Halae]

In that case, I'll have him trying to interact with it, to see if he can't use it for something other than injecting himself with poison :smalltongue:

@ThirdEmperor: Maybe the Church of the Burning Light know that the Cult of Telasur is a Cult because a cathedral is built and suddenly everybody in Eastside is devoutly religious and never miss a service? Because even with magic to disguise the mind-control, the effects are easy to notice.

Or maybe it's because cults can identify other cults.

I was just going to say the very same thing Earl... except the cult part. They are more of a religion with cult-ish tendencies.

[Earl of Purple]

One definition of 'cult' is a small, underground religion, often persecuted and nearly always secret. Worshipping demons is not a necessary part of a cult. By this definition what the Cult of Telasur is less a cult and more a very small religion, whilst the Church of the Burning Light is much closer to being a cult than a small religion.

[ThirdEmperor]

You're missing an important fact. Dalev brought most of his followers with him, and they were already devout believers in his new religion when they arrived. Everyone didn't just start suddenly worshiping Telasur, a bunch of people who already believed in him moved to Eastside, built the cathedral and started to convert the locals, by offering the more desperate ones shelter, food, and various other charities if they agreed to convert or at least listen to the services every now and then. In short, it wasn't an instant takeover, it was fast but not unnaturally so. And who said no-one ever misses a service? Plenty of people do, some people only go to the cathedral once a month or so, and there's still people who don't worship Telasur at all. Heck, the priests specifically try not to convert everyone, because that would look suspicious.

Also, aren't the servants new to Eastside themselves?:smallconfused:

By this definition what the Cult of Telasur is less a cult and more a very small religion, whilst the Church of the Burning Light is much closer to being a cult than a small religion.

I'm not sure I'm following you here. There are a lot of definitions of a cult, basically all religions could be called 'cults' using certain definitions. Heck, most organizations could be called cults by that.

Anyway, we shouldn't really discuss this. <.<

[Earl of Purple]

@ThirdEmperor: Sorry, it just seemed to occur nigh-instantaneously.

@Shadowcaller: Good point. Both of them.

[TechnoScrabble]

Hey earl, how should Garrett go about finding out about the well of creepy necromantic crap that'll reverse vampirism?

[Morty]

I appear to have missed your post. Silly me. Editing now.

[Earl of Purple]

He could find it in a library, if he's researching it. Or if he's questioning other vampires then he could hear it through word of mouth, or if he's summoning evil extraplanar beings they can furnish him with a rough location as well.

Basically, put him in a library or something and poke me.

[Halae]

Can someone tell me what's going on in the dragon fight in Trog's? I'm a bit confused

[ThirdEmperor]

I actually had the Brothers (Lowest rank of priest, pretty much just handle charity and other things that the higher-ups can't be bothered with) go around trying to convert people for a bit, but there wasn't actually a lot of PCs in Eastside at the time, so most of it took place of screen.

@ Harnel: Evil rich guy has enslaved a dragon, Alistair tried to convince him to release it, which ended with the dragon being ordered to attack him. The paladin-lady who's name I forget is trying to fight the dragon, while Alistair is pretending to flee while really trying to get a clear shot at the nameless ruch dude.

[Halae]

Alrighty then, I shall post there in a second

[The Alexandrian]

So, as I understand it, Dalev's cult just marched into town one day and decided to setup shop?:smallconfused:

If Dalev brought most of his clergy to Riverside with him, wouldn't the massive influx of immigrants be a clear sign of something going (too well or) awry?

Some of the members of the Order of Cunningham live in Eastside, but their Cathedral is in Westside. If anyone had showed up at their doors to convert them, they would have invited them in, offered them cookies or banana bread or something else nice, given them a copy of the Book of Arnold, and tried to convert them instead. :smallsmile:

My friend showed me two songs from that.
One is the... the one with the ridiculous story involving the frog, the man with the odd nose, the death by dysentery, and being REALLY [words]ING POLITE TO EVERYBODY!

The other was "Hasa Diga Eebowai".

I laughed to the point of mild nausea.

[celtois]

You should look up Turn it Off, or Making Stuff Up Again.

They're both cruelly hilarious. It was a Tony well deserved.
The entire musical is just too funny for its own good.

I can see Magtok putting on a musical as part of public relations. It would be a hoot.

[happyturtle]

Yay musical theatre nerd points for me! :smallbiggrin:
I'm actually listening to the broadway recording of it at the moment! :smallcool:

I was pretty amazed to see a reference to the Book of Mormon here.. of all places. You're so fabulous. :smallwink:

I listened to the soundtrack about a zillion times.

Then I went to visit my parents for a month, with small children visiting at random intervals. It's such a sweet musical with a good heart, but far far too filthy to play around young children, or my dad who I have never heard utter a curse word in his entire life.

"Compassion! Courtesy! Let's be really **** polite to everybody!" is the official motto of the Nexus Order of Cunningham (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=11067549&postcount=445). :smallbiggrin:

*starts playing soundtrack again*

[celtois]

Two of my friends went to New York to see it on Broadway. It was apparently absolutely astounding.

Oh yeah It isn't the sort of musical you want to play for your family. I listen to with head phones or in a tiny room in the basement. But still such a good musical.
(I'm going to see Wicked in six days. :smallbiggrin: )

Woah that is fantastic! I love your faction page. :smallsmile:

What it comes down to is that he moves forward. This would make it difficult to finish what she started in order to push him in the way of the magic. Effectively, she just got a bite on him but the pushing failed.

No Longer Abandoned Mansion

A magical ritual is cast here, impelling undead towards it. Most sentient/sapient undead should be unaffected by this spell, but it is entirely possible that some young and weak-willed may be unable to resist the magic.

It also likely affects the entire Nexus.

Look, magic! Likely all undead can feel it and associate it with a powerful necromancer, plus others with a strong tie with death, undeath, or similar energies/magics/etc.

[ThirdEmperor]

Nah, the bolt of energy couldn't kill a full grown dragon. The worst it'll do is give the dragon some rather nasty burns and possibly disrupt the mind-control.

Well bad for the seer she is pushed to the side by Harnel, what may cause Harnel to get hit. She still isn't falling to her side, they are at an equal strength but she hasn't find a place to grap herself.

The man let's himself get kicked, but tried in the same moment to stab her with the dagger, she may notice that he got faster and stronger.

The black dragons necklace slowly returns getting brighter again

Zefir, Sarah didn't kick the man, she attempted to push him off the dragon and she isn't going to let him swing with that dagger. If he isn't pushed off, she will attempt to get it out of his grip with both her hands.

[Zefir]

Didn't she kicked him in the stormatch? I thought I read that

[Shadowcaller]

She kneed him in the stomach yes but that was only after she pushed him, that was her main action. I'm a bit confused wherever they are on top of the black dragon or not.

Eh no Harnel he is up on the dragons back all the time. He apeared there after the transforming and he hided behind a backhorn of the black dragon. We just ignored tha fact that the dragon is fighting Harnel at the same time.

Then I guess we are all confused. :smalleek:

It was so:
The fight starts and while she shapeshifts to a dragon the rich man got on her back.
And you char said she just appeared by the man.
So your char is on the back the whole time and both of us have ignored that there ground(the black dragon) is moving/fighting.
I'm sorry if this thing messed up a bit, but I never imagined the fight going this way or even that he was forced to fight since the fight starts because the rich man was forced to. (That's his sight)

[Zefir]

Ok shadowcall I think I know what the problem is in Trog's... It's me. So I try to clear this now:
Your char is a dragon right?
She is in human form?
Doesn't that mean she is weak? Well not not so weak, but only as strong as the Human limits are. Thats the problem cause the rich man isn't so normal either imagine that his goldon necklace is another one to controll him.

Futhermore I have to ask the 5 players included in this. Mainly TE, Celtios, Harnel, Shadowcaller and I thin BR is a bit included as well.
I would make the fight stop in the post after my next post since I didn't really want to let her die here. So the man who created the Items will show up taking his servant(the rich man) and talking a bit. It would include a bit godmodding, he won't, hurt anyone, steal anthing, or do any other thing expect keeping you unmoveable until he is there. So I ask for permission to keep your chars frozen for his action.

And after I would ask if these players are willing to start a plot chasing this man. Harnel could choose someone for replace or we just say it happens after the wedding if that is OK.

[Halae]

I don't think SC meant for her character to be as strong as a strong human. I Think she meant for the human form to be as strong as the dragon form.

Regardless, if you have a plausible way of getting him out of there, go for it. However, Harnel, at this point, is attempting bite off the restraining bands, to attempt to set free the dragon.

[Zefir]

Well that's the thing Harnel I imagine dragons in human forma are weaker.^^

Also I have to wait for TE so I got poke him:
*poke TE to Trog's*
*pke TE to Outside*

[celtois]

In all fairness. My character isn't trying to kill yours. Incapacitate would be the term. Dead people can't learn from their mistakes.

Maybe it is just my slightly agitated state right now. But my current answer to the godmode request is no.

[Halae]

Well that's the thing Harnel I imagine dragons in human forma are weaker.^^

Understandably so, and that's how I'd play it as well, but you have to remember that different people play different, right? I've seen people play full strength from their dragon forms despite being much smaller

[Zefir]

And that's the thing why I ask her OOC.

celtois I just ask cause your char is involved in the fight the killing is, as it seems more caused by the Mindcontroll and the fact harnel is hitting her hard. The man would just stop all included in the fight to pass it without getting hurt himself.

[Shadowcaller]

Sarah is beyond human strength in her current human form. She might not be as strong as she is in her true form but she would be far stronger then any normal human. She always gives herself some perks in every form she uses.

Anyhow, Sarah isn't trying to kill either the rich man or the dragon, she is just attempting to subdue him.
It really depends on how he is planning to freeze everyone.

[celtois]

Again, I don't like it. I understand the reasons. I still don't like it.

[Zefir]

He would use magic like powerword Stop or Time Stop or an simular higher spell.

It's clear that both have no chance as I said I don't thought the fight goes like this.

[ThirdEmperor]

I'm cool with the whole Time-Stop thing actually. Seems like an interesting plot.:smallsmile:

I haven't seen any like that with dragons, but I had one who would attack any undead that she saw. Eventually I quit playing her because it got boring (to me) to always be in fights. If that wouldn't be boring to you, and if you make sure to give the players of dragon PCs space to roleplay things that aren't fights, then go for it. Or he could always experience ... character growth! *le gasp!*

[celtois]

I haven't been able to follow what's going on. As she hasn't done much of anything.

I'll post an intervention post by her.

[Shadowcaller]

Sarah can't resist a time stop in her current form, if he does cast that, she can't do anything.

[Mindfreak]

To get things straight:
There's a bunch of dragons I Trog's tavern, right?
Are they attacking people?
Because here comes Kathrine Wyrmhunter, The Last Wyrmhunter.
Dragons tremble in her prescence, men bow down to her, she's killed tons of dragons, she is a pinnacle of heroicness......
....and is afraid of people from the future.

[Halae]

Only one of the dragons, the black one, is attacking people. As a matter of fact, the red dragon is attempting to stop the black one from hurting people, which should be obvious in the way he's trying to pin her

[Shadowcaller]

Also, one of the dragons, Sarah, is still in human form.

[Zefir]

Ww The other two launch threats at the rich man drawing their weapons and he decide to use his dragon as defence well and then the others jumped in.

Alright, Kathrine is now attacking the black dragon. How big is this black dragon?

[Halae]

Harnel, the Red dragon, is about 55 feet long, and Zefir stated the black to be about the same size

[Zefir]

Yep well they are both full grown dragons and a man with sword and shield should rethink things. The black one is stilll much hurt since magic attacks and harnels claw in the side isn't healthy. and they are in a grapling attack flames breath fly around and much spells I'm sorry if I miss something in my next post.

Mindfreak586 I have to ask you the same as the other. The man controlling both will show up and to start a maybe plot(not sure if people want to enter ir) he would use some kind of time stop spell.

The important thing is that I would godmod your char a bit. and I ask for premission. your char won't die or be hurt or things won't be stolen or destroyed, well expect the spell on the rich man and the dragon.

Well, he hasn't time stopped trog's - he's just frozen an area, and not even the whole thing

[Shadowcaller]

Zefir, I kind of assumed you were going to do everything in one cut scene, not freeze everyone for an undetermined amount of time. :smallsigh:

[Zefir]

As Harnel said i just include the people who where in the fight closing celtios out for now to have her react as she want. The spell thing is just meant in DnD terms you know verbal components won't work even if they can talk.

I'm sorry I could end this, but that yould cause Celtios char beeing totally ignored.

[Gullara]

Well, for the record, all time effects ever should most definitely be avoided at all costs. It just doesn't work in ffrp, and is almost always godmodding.

And Zefir, you can't just freeze someone's characters like that. You should have not used the effect when Celtios disagreed with the idea. That's the kind of thing all players involved have to agree with to go through with it.

[Halae]

I have to admit agreeing with Ghar there.

How about we go for this: targeted paralysis spells rather than an area-freezing effect? That way someone could conceivably resist the effect.

[Zefir]

I didn't freez Celtios char here if you read well.. but I see the problem and know what forget the post the problem is that paralyze will cause near a dozen people around to throught there chars in killing him and I just wanted to avoid this. I would have ended this thing in one post so all get there char's free and nothing really happenend, but since I have to wait for celtios I can't do that.

[The Alexandrian]

I only have one two things to write about the goings on in Trog's.

Hooray for Zee!

And...

Timestop is, by far, the most OP move of all time. Warping the characters to another plane would serve the (Baby, you're a) rich man's purpose better (not an OP move, more privacy, less chance of a certain reality bending lawyer or other such character coming in and attacking the other him and his master).

On a somewhat unrelated note, with all these dragons and legendary characters running around, I think I might have to power up my more aggressive/borderline genocidal characters again (which, by Nexus standards, aren't very aggressive/powerful at all).

Additionally, I have just completed the scheme for my DOOM! apocalypse plot.

Now I'm off to write about The Hatter's new weapons which shall be tested on the fake population of a replicated city in Outside.

Heroes are welcome, but this is more of a show of power than an actual fight scene. If heroes get involved, there is a possibility of them being killed off.

Excelsior!

[Lost_Deep]

Does Magtok check this thread? Well, it's worth a shot.

*Pokes Magtok toward MagMart*

Fun fact: the GitP spellchecker wants to fix "Magtok" into "Magneto." When even the spellcheck is irredeemably geeky you know that you have a good forum.

[Zefir]

I'm off it's 3 and I wait for the guys involved to speak up, at all I#m sorry to not end it in one post,but I still keep it as it is.

[Earl of Purple]

Hey, ThirdEmperor, did Sol stay outside the spacecraft and give Quinn & Andy directions or did he lead them inside?

Also, Shadowcaller, there's a dwarf poking Sarah with an antlered helmet.

I know, but I can't react since that guy basically froze her in time or something. :smallsigh:

Can't zee just eat that stupid effect so I don't need to deadtime my character until Celtios character posts?

Sol led them into the spacecraft. I'll go post in Outside.

[Gullara]

Oh, people in AMEN? I forgot a very important detail for my guy's description, and I edited it into my last post. A very important detail. >.>

Also, I'm waiting for Ruki there.

[ThirdEmperor]

Well, gee, wonder how everyone missed the fact he had giant angel wings.:smalltongue:

Also, why is it the moment I make an angel character and have him visit AMEN, there's suddenly a whole flock of celestial beings there? Same thing happened with Nero, one second he thinks he's the only Fae in the entire Nexus, next thing you know its FaerieCon 20000 in Trog's.

Same thing happened when Harnel turned into a dragon! I hadn't even seen another one in the nexus beyond Feia.

[Earl of Purple]

Actually, this is the second angel uprising I can remember. Nephrim was quite an early one in that, too. I can't remember how many exactly popped up, but at least four, with three played by Je dit Viola, who left just over a year ago. One fell into GLoG's lake clutching a baby angel and died, just before Quinn ressurected her, and another was named Mizeri Cordo (or something similar) and was corrupted by a demon. Also was a mortal kind of angel, and thus different from the other two.

There's been a large number of fae around for long before Nero showed up. :smallconfused:

[ThirdEmperor]

Yeah, I know that, but most of them really weren't doing much. Then all of a sudden they all converged upon Trog's and shattered Nero's dreams of being the only one of his kind.

Well the idea was completely unrelated to your angel actually. In fact, it was Ruki that inspired it. Besides, Nefrim and Ruki were there first. *nodnod*

[Earl of Purple]

Goodnight, everybody. I must Deadtime now. I wasn't planning on staying up so late; it's nearly three. Anyway, I'll type tomorrow.

[The Alexandrian]

Mind, you are godmodding quite a bit. Not just at Trog's. I've noticed that you don't use the words "attempt" or "try" when stating how your characters are attempting to effect/affect other characters.

When you are attacking/touching/influencing another character with anything except words, people get ticked if you don't use the words "attempt" or "try" because then you are controlling their character.

Just a heads up. I've seen many OoC arguments about this particular problem. I godmodded once. It's best if everyone learns from my mistakes as opposed to making them themselves.

And trust me, I've made a ton of mistakes.:smallsmile:

[Lost_Deep]

I once godmodded, went to bed, realized I godmodded, got back out of bed, and booted my computer back up just so I could remove the godmod.

It's worth nothing, and it would have changed nothing, but meh.

Well, I didn't think I needed to put an attempt like word into Simon's attack in GLoG because I though they were just beetles. But I changed that post. That's the one place where I should have put down an attempt into an attack. Keep in mind that I have been putting those attempt words in my attacks. Like with the battle between Megan and Shroomy. Or when Sting was on his own.
Also with Kathrine picking up Sarah and Harnel, I didn't think I needed to put down:
'Kathrine attempted to lift Harnel onto her shoulder'
And then wait for a response from Harnel is she did it because she can most likely do it. Also, Harnel said he wanted to be picked up, as did Sarah. I don't see where I've done wrong other then some posts that I deleted.

[Halae]

I think it's just a matter of courtesy, even if the effect that you're going for wouldn't more than a minor annoyance. Getting confirmation, in any way, whether it be through messages, posts, or the player outright saying "Yeah, go ahead and godmode my character for this" is generally required to do things without upsetting people

Alright then.
Harnel, Shadowdragon, may Kathrine easily put your characters on her shoulders?

[Halae]

I already agreed, as did shadowcaller. We're good to go - I just wanted to make a point and put down some explanation :smallsmile:

[The Alexandrian]

Yeah. What Harnel said (thanks Harnel :smallsmile:).

I'm not very good at explaining things OoC. >.<

I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, Mind. I apologize if it came across that way. It's just that I don't want you, anyone else, or myself picking up bad habits that could cause bad feelings to spread through this FFRP universe. I find frustration is hard to fix IRL, let alone over the internetz.

Speaking of which...

Everyone involved in Zefir's dragon fight thing is leaving a plotclone behind for him to interact with when he returns, right? I'm not trying to meddle in affairs that are not my own, but I know that it would upset me if I was all setup for a plot, deadtimed, and found out that all my posting was for naught because everyone I was interacting with left while I was sleeping or working.

Again, just trying to keep us all friends here. If you don't like what I'm writing, just ignore me or write something like "Curse you meddling kid! :smallfurious:".

Don't hurt me.

[Shadowcaller]

Uh yeah, sure. You can post in trog's by the way Harnel.

Another poker smiley, that's actually the size of the forum smileys. And a little less scary than my previous offering, for when you want to nudge instead of skewer. :smallbiggrin: (Bwahaha!

So I ended up locking myself out of my room for the third time today, but was too embarrassed to ask reception (for the third time!) to send someone to let me in.

In other news, I think the resort I'm staying in needs to invest in more secure locks for their doors. >.>

Edit: Addedededed!

Where were your lockpicks?

Or a Knock spell?

Force lightning blast the door open?

Teleport in?

I think exactly that happened. And it really pissed my. I asked for premission and what happenen people say oh no it doesn't effect me. the spell is no Time stop as some may thought it's a zone where people aren't able to move and the strange swordswoman walks in and out as she wants yeah uys I relly like this since making a plotclone is SOOOO hard.
