Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
I can't recall...was that title there before Rabbit had the foon in Lex's Dementia, or not?

AS: When Rabbit fought a dream version of Turtle in Lex's plot, she used a Foon.

Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
All we've stated so far is that there isn't footage of the bedrooms, and that Intergang was able to asplode some of it.
If you want to write up more specific rules, like the spork rules, go right ahead!
EDIT: Also, there are blank spots on the footage whenever Topsy is around. And Image-DC doesn't appear on it.
If anything else has happened in-story, then I can't remember it offhand.Last edited by happyturtle; 2008-11-04 at 02:00 PM.

Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
Rightyho. Security Cameras.
Locations
Two, on opposite walls, are in every room of the base, save the following exceptions. There are six security cameras in the Great Room, none in any bedroom or bathroom (however great the chance of evil being there is, our squeamish need for privacy outweighs it), and none in the rose garden. However, a security camera in the great room has the near Rose Garden in its sights. There are security cameras in the airbase. The security camera in the President's office is nearly always off, except when noted to be on. Where possible, they're located a little way beneath the ceiling, out of the way.
Dimensions and Capabilities
Each camera is roughly six inches (fifteen centimetres) wide and deep, and roughly twelve inches (thirty centrimeteres long). Each camera records sound, though the quality is somewhat grainy, and they cannot pick up very quiet whispering, and the like, or, for that matter, incredibly loud noises. They record in sepia tones, primarily, so colour is present, but dulled considerably. They can move roughly nine inches (22-23 cm) from side to side, and and the same up and down.
Other stuffs
Cameras stream footage directly to a central computer system via a wifi-like linkup. However, EMPs, and other anti-technological devices, can take down this link. Also, due to networking computer link, it is possible to put a virus into the camera networking system, or remotely meddle with the system from anywhere in the base's grounds, provided one has the necessary equipment and passwords/hacking ability. Cameras are fairly simple to destroy, they're made of metal and glass. It's not hard to work out what'll destroy them, guys. They're connected to wiring within the walls, that supply them with power. They could certainly lose power if you meddle with the base's electrics or wiring.

Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
I don't see a problem with it. We'll see what the more technically inclined players think.
I'll just add that while standard drones are not fitted with cameras, the two that follow Melody everywhere have had them added.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

I'd just like to add that the KR-15/DC conversations while they were in base were deleted as well.

Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
As for the Cameras. I have a few of questions.
- Why are they grainy? Is GLoG a low-tech group or something?
- Why Sepia? Can't we afford color? If we can only have one or the other, I vote for color. I already showed Caroline the pictures of DC-09 in his pretty pink glory!!
- Why not in the Rose Garden? We could have them attached to the trees.
They are just questions.

Right well, there's my image for my half-return. I'm still waiting for the big unpacking, and am writing on a laptop right now. Not used to laptops one bit and I am making TONS of mistakes... anyway! I got lots of thinking done, and I'm going to be playing my characters a bit differently. As well, I have two plot ideas for later this month (or the next) so be prepared. Be more prepared than the half-wit that made Surf Ninjas.
Let's see... New character idea so I don't have to make any more characters, and to honor my Grandfather (well, kinda). That's all settled. Nice history to him too that I won't ever be telling.
As well, I finally wrote down Topsy info. Now I won't be BS'ing my way through his scenes like I so gleefully do. I won't ever reveal any of it, but at least I have something written down for once.
Plots are fun. I have two plots. One involves Mista Quinne, and the other is mindless nonsense. The important one is with Mr. Quinne, which should be pronounced Monsier Quinne, but who the hell cares? That'll be happening on the 25th or so. It really depends on how much crap I have to do in real life. I'll be needing 2 people for that one. Maybe three depending on activity levels.
PEACE out!
P.S. What name sounds better?

P.P.S. Why do I have a sudden urge to yell "Chuuuuuuuu!"?
P.P.P.S. CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

1. Yay! You're (sort-of) back! It hasn't been the same without Mr Quinne.
2. Yay plotty plotness! I won't be around during that time, but I look forward to reading it when I get back.
3. Antony Smile

Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
1. No. Purely because they've been sporked up. And we've seen that you need to have good mental idea of how it should work. So I'm imagining Czernov's made all the recent ones, as he knows what they're like, has detailed knowledge of how those things work. So they're similar to the ones from his home. Grainy.
2. Meh. Ditto reasoning.
2. Note the thing about how they get power. Trees don't have wiring.

Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
The sporking up thing can be used to explain inconsistencies. If camera A was sporked by Tessa (who has spent a lot of time in the future) then it might be really advanced. Where camera B sporked by Czernov is rather grainy. Tessa wasn't around for the building of the main base, though Czernov was, so most of the cameras would be his. Tessa sporked the detention wing, but it's been partially destroyed since then, and rebuilt by others.
So what it comes down to is that if plot demands a few cameras with different capabilities than the others, then it won't stretch credibility too much to have them exist. But players should only invoke this for a plot they are running (or for the occasional non-plot silliness, like the pink wax). You shouldn't use it to try and beat someone else's plot.
Did all of that make any sense at all? I don't think it did.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
Quinsar has plots.
DC-09, Alex, and Wenomir are bored.
Could there possibly be any solution to this?

Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
I'm bored because I'm currently deprived of my main character. No one but GM's at AMEN and no one's posting at the trial plot either. And my other character (DC-09) is the guy-that's-always-there-but-is-ignored.

Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
Do something more productive that sitting on forum? In all seriousness though, I don't have any clever idea right now. I'll gladly see what Quinsar has in the sleeve.

Re: GLoG OOC Chat Thread I: Sporks vs Foons
Well, the trial is so messed up right now I am considering giving everyone a fine, five days of detention and closing the case.
And by everyone I mean almost everyone in the room.
