Yes. Give us more points. You know you want to.

If you give us more points, my HP will only move a little. My int, dex, and appearance will go up a lot though.

I don't mind having low hp... I plan on hiding behind Demon's character. Which is to say... running right behind him and blindly shooting behind me. In other words... make sure you guys run faster than I do.

I'll wait for some more input, but since most of you have very high POW, INT, or other skills like that already, I might instead of adding more general points might just add a flat 3 HP to every char or something.

And our side does suck... The point is we fight on despite the fact that we suck. And despite the fact that we suck, I never said we couldn't use spells, or even technology of our opponents... I know that skimming through the Magic Grimore, as long as this RP goes on long enough for us to learn them (Learning a spell can take anywhere from a few hours to a week game time to learn, and many take at least an hour to cast GT...), there are spells that would be very, very useful to battle evil...

The battle took 5 RP sessions. Yes magic. Lots of magic and other deities. As for the spells lets just say it involved creativity and EVERYONE having a very good POW score (wee all started at 18), oh and lets just say it invovled a Time Gate, Dismiss Deity and Death by Flames amongst others (thats what I was to do...) Oh yeah and my HP was also really nice at the time way better than my current one... Yes some more HP would be nice...

Now that is an epic battle... I need to start looking up those spell...

If you wanted to know the main strategy it wa called by our "leader" (if leader means wuss that hides in back...) Flaming Diseased Zombie Death Fom Above... And I will delve into it no further because we will all fail our sanity checks if I do so...

Alright, I'm going to make a character, but I'll keep him in reserve and see how the RP goes before/if I actually introduce him. If it stays at current numbers, he will stay out, but if enough people end up dropping out once the RP starts I may put him in...

YES, MORE POINTS!

I've been busy and I'm trying to make a balanced charater, so more points would be nice.

No points. If the low HP is annoying, just add more HP to each character.

Hmm, it is a dead heat, and I still like the add HP idea more then more points, so that is how it's going. I'll decide once the scenario is planned and everyone has their characters in, but I'm still thinking of adding 3-5 HP.

Hope this works...

Name: Sgt. Mike Owens
Sex: Male
Age: 36
Occupation: Soldier
College Degrees: none
Birthplace: U.S.A.
Background: Living a normal life up until the Great War, Mike decided to join the army in one of the nation’s many moments of need. He climbed the ranks rather quickly and was a Corporal after his first few battles. During an assignment to gain command over a small town that was a good vantage point, when nearly half of the troops in the group were wiped out by the enemy soldiers occupying the town. The horrors of that battle always haunted him deep down, but he doesn’t show it.

Right now he is being given his break, so anything can happen to him…

Where did the plus 40 and plus 10 come from?

I think he used some sort of stat builder or something, since Rifle starts at 25% and dodge starts at DEX x2. Drop those odd stat bonuses, and add in your items, and you're good. I may alter the Skills sheet however to show what all your Skills start at, although it will be a nasty mess at this point, so I might not...

Personal skills. Just added them to show they were there, but I'll do it if I have to.

You used all your personal skills...

EDIT: Nevermind, I see what you did now. It just looks wierd. You could have just dropped the Personal skills and added those straight into your O.S. you know...

Alright, I cleared it up...I think.

*Pokes lazy man with a stick* Items, what items does he carry...

Dammit, forgot about that. Alright, back to work.

EDIT- Is that good or do I have to go into more detail?

That's good.

Woah! Lazy has 20 points less than my blind monk did at listening! Umm why? I also would like to know this now. FZ are we going to do a leader? If so could you make sure he has the best POW and INT the last time I played (3 years ago) Our leader was incomptent and got us into more crap then it was worth...(Both OOC and IC...)

Verdict on adding points - Fine either way. But they're all going into DRINKING SKILL!

Verdict on J Man - Just another guy, somewhere between JAD and IHMN.

Verdict on how to win CoC - DO NOT JUMP ON THE ACTIVELY USED ALTAR TO CTHULHU.

You're worse than a parent in a furniture store. Don't jump on this, don't jump on that...

I don't plan on there being a specific leader, I figured it would all work on group vote. However if that doesn't work, I'll bring in an NPC to lead, or make a full fledged character the leader.

And you asked about your drinking skill as a weapon. It would fit under small clubs.

Fine krylo, but I for one am not responsible for what happens when you do...

Cthulu has tentacles, right? ...Can I change my character to a japanese school girl?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!! DON'T GO INTO THAT TOPIC!!

You're going to be a fucking cultist, right? Can I join Cthulhu too if krylo does?

Hmm... good point. I think it'd be better to convince Celes to make a japanese school girl instead of my doing it. Far less disturbing to the general masses... plus we could add "Tentacle Rape" to the list of jokes at her expense.

First you need to delete those post so she won't know why we want her to be a japanese school girl, and we will have to make up logical reasons for it...

... Oh yeah, krylo has the mindset of a cultist if nothing else... IHMN too...

You know, as GM I would be inclined to put a stop to it. And seriously, Occupation: Japanese School Girl? Why no, that isn't suspicious at all...

Actually, despite it always being in anime and such, no one from anime every looks Japanese. So really it should be some other race school girl.

Just to make sure you two know, if we ever face Cthulhu, I'm sure you two can guess who would fail their luck roles first...

Convince lazy to delete his quotes of mine, and I'll delete mine.

And as for a good reason... umm... well, if this weren't the 1920s I'm sure I could think of something, but being as they didn't even get to wear the cute little fukus (the sailor uniforms), I'm drawing a blank.

But IHMN and I have rather high luck rolls...

If you roll it enough times, you always get a critical failure eventually...

Alright, deleted posts, coming up.

EDIT- Which ones should I delete? Just those two?

Aww... the GM is gonna cheat to get us eaten by a great old one... somehow, I don't feel safe anymore.

However, if I'm going to fail my luck roll anyway, I might as well just switch over to a japanese school girl, just so I can look forward to eventually disturbing the hell out of everyone in the RP as the tentacle monster attacks.

Damn you, you are evil... It's a lose-lose situation... Unless something without tentacles eats you before we ever reach Cthulhu...

EDIT: I probably won't, I'm just in a sadistic, vile, angry mood cause I'm doing homework right now.

Do you really want to make me seed disturbing images of things other than tentacled monsters and school girls into your mind just to cover all my bases?

Edit: Anything that mentions school girls. Dante should delete the one quote too.

From CoC to La Blue Girl, eh?

"No! Stop! Get away from me!"

"HA HA HA NOW I SHALL THOROUGHLY VIOLATE YOUR BODY!"

"No! Get away! It stinks!"

"NONSENSE, FOOL GIRL! YOU KNOW YOU LIKE IT!"

Hmm... I'm weakend by school work, so I don't know if I would pass my Insanity Check... Your good... But I have the manual as my aid, so I will think up something...

EDIT: Damn, there goes thought of homework out the window as I think up how to counter you...

No matter what you think up I shall type this as my death post:

"Mitsuru's breathing was labored heavily, causing her ample bosom to rise and fall with each breath, as the _____[...]"

Well, you get the idea. If William Golding can make a rape scene out of a bunch of kids stabbing a pig, I can make one out of anything you throw at me.

Um, so, when is this starting?

The CoC manual covers yinjutsu and shikima?

This coming up Monday, aka basically one week. I have a really messed up schedule at home, so I won't be able to do anything over the weekends, and I don't want to start it up now because I'm not totally ready. And I'll be busy the rest of the week cranking out my 26 page project due friday...

I laugh at jo0! Jo0 who must do homework! I left such things behind long ago...

...wait, I have work too. Damn nation.

And you have to deal with mosquitos the size of bread loaves... I think I'll take my books, thank you very much.

I didn't realize he was coming to Minnesota for his exercises... I thought it was Taiwan. Now I'll have to lock down the house and get ma guns ready.

The only reason our group had to take on the Cthulu was our leader was a dips#!t First we chased after THE WRONG CULT thanks to him then He waslked up to a Column He opened the book (Dante IHMN and Zero probably know what I mean) after we told him not to open it and started reading it in a very annoying accent. Then in order to test it out he said that "Cthuey" (as he called him) was overcompensating for something other than size... Then He came up wiht this half baked plan that I altered (he got to name it though to shut up) based all off a last ditch.
My freinds you really can't win Cthulu unless your the DM.... of course that doesn'tprevent you from having any fun however... Mosquitos the size of bread huh? At least thats better than the Mothra attack we suffer here in Illinois...

Lock up your daughters and your gold, good people! Something wicked this way comes!

And no, I'm in Kanchanaburi now. As for the mosquitos... well, let's just say that you can go to sleep with baby skin one night and wake up looking like a smallpox victim the next day.

Minnesota is the same way in the spring and summer months. Land of ten thousand lakes means there's also ten thousand mosquito breeding grounds. Luckily, I have natural immunity to mosquitos... they think my blood tastes horrible or something. My sister, however, ends up looking like she has some horrible disease every year.

Bah, and the swampland of Florida isn't a breeding ground for mosquitos? They may not be big, but they make up for it in numbers... Luckily, I spend most of my time indoors out of that big glowing thing outside and away from the large amounts of wet stuff, and I generally stay unbitten.

Who?

I met a commando medic the other day who said he was immune. Lucky bastard. And while mosquitos are bad, sandflies are worse. One of my warrants was bitten so bad his hand swelled up like a ham and when we poked it clear liquid oozed out of the bites. My boss ahd to give him a shot to make it go down...

...I think we need to start typing out Call instead of CoC. Everytime I see CoC I sound it out instinctively, and get cock. Now, this doesn't particularily bother me too much... but we all know how disturbing my mind can be, and I can't promise it won't be shared.

Anyway...
Yah, Florida is pretty bad too, although Minnesota has this "Mosquitos are the state bird" joke going on, so I felt compelled to mention them there.

Edit: Dante, eat lots of garlic. Mosquitos hate garlic... they also hate spicy foods. I don't really have to do either to get them to leave me alone, but the lesser folks tell me that it helps.

I work all day, pack up stuff for a few minutes, check what's been going on and THIS is what I have to come home to?!

Seriously! Wow!

If the RP is as fast paced as this, I'll be lucky if I can do anything as a character. Work and Moving suck!

Actually, no, that's not true. You all suck for apparently not working or moving.

And what happened to the 'no spam' rule? Are the mods just going to let us get away with all this?

*vikings chant away* Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam!

*Demon is exhasperated* I don't like SPAM!

*sigh* On topic: Go Lounge singer. Go Demon not hitting on Celes. Go interpersonal communication. Go team.

Hey, at least you'll be around. I don't even know when they'll tell me to up and leave (I'm actually supposed to move out this afternoon, but if some moron decides to hurt himself, guess who has to hold his hand, make it better, and wrathfully castigate his stupidity?)

Thank you, Demon. I realize now that I'm overseas for no reason in particular, I stayed up until 1 AM last night packing my medic pouch for nothing, and that I don't have to go out on exercise for a full week. Thank you.

WOT?! Yooo don't like SPAM?

Dude, (did I just say Dude?! WTF!!!!!) I was just being a hard ass, totally just kidding. I thought the Monty Python reference would help illustrate that. Whoops. Next time I'll quote "The Holy Grail" to better lighten the mood.

Bygones people, bygones. Demon is a jerk. Remember that. But I'm grammatical about it. Ecumenically, I think we can all appreciate concise writing as opposed to Teenybopper145@AOL.com's haggard writing patterns.

And I'm not IHMN. And that's good for all of us.

"A Duck!"

Meh. Everyone's going to hit on Celes' character once or twice I bet. Unless she happens to be a journalist, and then my character will probably bicker with her a lot.

Bleh..maybe we should creat a new discussion thread? I have it showing 40 posts a page, and I'm already on page six.
