Rebirth of Discussion 2: Wherein the GM is Annoyed.
 

RMB--Listen to IHMN.

Also: That spell would have worked exactly like that even if it WERE a PC. It's an instant spell with no projectile. It is effectively undodgable but easily resisted/weak. It's not a problem for someone with six magic to cast that. Especially a FAE (who are basically made of magic) casting it on someone that's got a total of 3 ranged and no magic, as per the stats of commanders/archers/etc. as set forth in the last discussion.

FURTHER--If I am not in the mood to talk to you, I will not talk to you. If you can not figure out a way to interact meaningfully with the plot without pestering me when I am, frankly, in no mood to talk to you (or most people), when everyone else (Vlad aside--though IHMN hasn't had internet, or I'm sure he'd have figured it out) has had no problem integrating themselves.

Here's a few ideas: Go do assassin guild stuff until the attack. There WILL be a quest hook for you at that time. Hell, go try to kill Vlad on a contract or some shit. Then you'll both have something to do other than bother me. (Note: Vlad will be able to telepathically bitch slap you).

Disguise as an inhuman draftee, join in Asid's unit.

Go find a bordello and hire out a feles slave girl for 'fun times'.

I honestly don't care. I don't want to deal with it right now.

P.S. The general is an NPC, you can control him. Just keep in mind that he's an NPC that is stronger than any current PC, and keep his personality up until now intact (nice to your face, but a racist conniving prick).


Trie--While I'm ranting: stop being so damn insane. You're becoming more trouble than you're worth, with the whole random attacks out of nowhere and what have you.

FURTHER:

PF--because I tend to talk to her alot (and thus she knows what the hell is going on, and what is/isn't ok), shall be considered as co-GM as of now. If she does or says something it is inviolable unless I over-ride it. Do not question her. ESPECIALLY if she says she's already talked to me.

IHMN--Same, but for different reasons. He's just right about damn near everything. If he says something take it as law unless I contradict it. He also gets a cookie if he does that thing where he finds all the character profiles and makes a post with all of them summarized and sorted for easy reading. I've not felt up to par lately and thus haven't had the energy to do it. (Or deal with people)

Neither of them will have story telling abilities or anything like that, it's just easier for me if you guys don't argue with them.

NOW THEN: If PF and Funka would please finish up I could get to the more engaging parts of the storyline...

EDIT: In lighter news, I have decided that sign-ups shall be open indefinately.

http://www.nuklearforums.com/showthread.php?t=23137 sign-up info link here. I'll be adding that to all successive discussions.

Edit 2: New characters now get 17 points for creation, to put them on par with experienced characters.

Heh, I was making this since I noticed the post limit, but I went back to quote Aero and noticed it was closed.

Anyway, krylo ended up missing that, so,
Except he isn't a ranked commander.
However, to get yourself in the story (And because this makes sense), just have one of your actually ranked guildmates inform you that you've been selected for a special mission of great honor (The suicide mission). Makes sense because your guild hates you, and this gets rid of you without them having to actually remove you.

So the 'going ons' he could know about are the suicide mission (He would have to figure that out himself, he would be told it's simply a special mission), or anything your normal soldier would know (Which is nothing).

Also: I imagine pretty much everyone will know that Ark fired on another commander pretty soon, as that he wasn't exactly secretive about it.

Edit:

See what I mean? He does my job before I have to half the time.

well, I was making a post toa ddress a few things, but Krylo summed it up better than I could have, so that's that!

now, sorry for the delay, I don't mean to hog all the dialogue. honestly I feel PF and I could have been done with the introductions by this point, but complications ensue and so forth.

I'll try to tie it up now then, sorry for the delay.

Once we get done with this last bit of dialogue, Krylo can take it from there, and then we'll all get to dive into bloody combat!

Hurrah for all.

Bah.

Not quite. Should edit to say "a not suicide mission and actually help the non-humans survive. Could care less about what happens to the human draftees."

Now that the talky-talky is done with, you all have about a half hour to an hour, depending on how long it takes me to write the next post, before we warp two days into the future.

I just did a bit of comparison and Hashel is only like the third highest melee fighter of the bunch, so I've decided that whatever awesomeness he unleashes will be "average"

everyone with higher melee scores must keep up with me. or I'll feel like I"m cheating. :(

Oh right, I should have included those scores (Well, the high ones, since everyone specializes)

Edit - Also, just to make sure. RMB, you realize in base form a Dopple can do most of the metascience things by their nature (I/II level I assume), so those psionic points and skills you have mean he can use those in other forms right?

Edit 2 - Funka, VIII is beyond average. An Ogre Chief with their ogre bonus is at VIII (Though as a half-elf your effective melee score is probably VII)
