If you think about it, if you got online at least once a day, to not be "addicted" you would have to be on for less than an hour and a half each day. Not that much time.

Television is a perfectly good example of a 'bad addiction.' (Drugs notwithstanding). The average family watches at least 8 hours of tv a day (As a combined family, mind you. All the individual totals added up). And most of that is just brainless non-information.

At least with the internet there is a certain level of interpersonal interactivity.

The internet has given me a little bit of knowledge about everything. Just enough to make other people look stupid. Which is how I like it... so the internet can't be that bad.

Also... TV isn't bad either, so long as you're just watching Cartoon Network.

The internet has a very well deserved motto, due to an incredible service it has provided for years:

The Internet. Giving any old idiot a voice since 19XX.

Goes to show how negative people can be towards eachother sometimes.

That is the easiest way to describe the internet in one sentance, Demon...

And semi-back on topic, does anyone have any last minute questions about the RP before it starts monday, since I may not be able to get on during the weekend?

Yes. Where is it set and how hard do you want Gabriel to work to get there? He's a Canadian, living in a frontier town just above where Seattle is today.

Your going to have to work... It starts in Boston. Everyone starts off having recieved a letter from an old friend who is dying in a hospital in Boston, and all of you are heading there as his final request.

We'll be role playing from third person view as usual, right? Although first person might involve a li'l more insanity. And how do we know when something happens like we lose insanity points or something? Do we post our character stats at the beginning of each mission and at the end? I think that would be a pretty good idea, myself.

Haha, that loser's dying. *coughs* Erm, sorry.

Ok I put them in occupation skills and I noticed I had left out 4 occupation points as well so I added them. The new break down is:

Occupation skills:
Chemistry-40
Electrical Repair-48
Geology-35
Library Use-70
Mechanical Repair-55
Operate Heavy Machine-55
Physics-60
Craft-50

Personal Skills:
Throw-99
Saber-32
Dodge-32

Boston, eh?

Well, I'm more than equipped to tackle any challenges you send my way, Zero. I'll see if I can pull up a map of the America circa 1920. Might be useful to have ...

I will keep track of all stat details, and will either PM you, or tell you in the RP when something happens, like...

Everyone enters a room, to find the previous owner ripped to bloody pieces and smeared on the walls. I will do everyone's insanity chack for them, and I will say who fails it, who fails and is temperarily insane, and who fails and is indefinitly insane. Everyone else will be assumed to have passed it. I will also have a sheet I will update with everyone's vital stats, like HP, MP, SP, and Stats. I will update it and make notations as it goes on (For instance, doing certain things might earn you more skill points to apply at the end of a mission, or as people shoot their guns, I will keep track of number of bullets in the gun, and number of bullets total.)

I will also say, try to limit you actions in combat. Thing like talking are alright, but reloading your gun is one round/post, you can shoot a limited number of shots per post, and every extra shot is harder then the last decreasing chances of hitting, etc. I may post a text with combat rules on it at some point soon.)

One more quick note, to all people with a revolver, you start off every battle with 5 bullets and not 6, because Revolvers were known to go off on their own if fully loaded. If you decide to always carry a fully loaded revolver with 6 bullets, you wll recieve a luck roll for every post for the chance that your gun just went off and shot you...

EDIT: Alright Sithdarth, I got it down. Don't go toss happy in the RP I will warn you, since there are melee fighters, and there will be indoor fighting with no where to run, so explosives will be very dangerous to use most of the time...

Ow. Jeez, that would suck. Oh, and I think I forgot to include how many bullets I had for my rifle. How 'bout you decide. And for my personal skills, could you put the rest of the points in to driving? I kinda forgot that.....

Map Quest hasn't yeilded too too much. Mostly vague territorial maps. Are you working off a map of Boston from the Call of Cthulhu Rp book, Zero?

If so, we're better off using that for reference then anything I could dredge up.

Bolt action huh, hmm. Alright, I think about 25 bullets should be good, without being too restricting or too gun crazy either.

And you want 60 points in driving? Alright, if we ever need to outdrive cultists chasing us, you will be the desiganted driver...

EDIT: Demon, there is no city maps, it usually uses made up locations and general descriptions. You don't need to know hospital names and street locations or anything, you could just be pulling up to the hospital at the start of the RP after a long car drive or something... Maps are only vital for things like house descriptions and room locations.

EDIT2: And you only have your gun J Man. I meant for you to inlcude anything that could be of use under items. Housing won't be important I now realize, but things like watches, cars, books (Normal, non-occult), or maybe medical supplies since you have Medacine and First Aid, and are in a way one of the team medics...

Sweet, I'm gonna be a driver. And there'll be crazy car chases and stuff and I'll blow the crap out of the people in front of me with my rifle. Suckers!

Memories of the car chase scenes from The League of Extrodinary Waste of Fillm come to mind.

And my eyes begin to bleed ...

I never saw that, but it doesn't sound good... Sounds like that movie was infested with evil Mythos magic if it makes your eyes bleed...

Hellboy reminds me of The League (Through previews only since I did not see League/Have not seen Hellboy if it is even out).

And I suggest a new thread..

OKAAAAY switch topic!

I have an aribac version of LXG. It was obtained well umm lets say I bought it at a yard sale. Before the DVD came out. Anyhow the english subtitles, are hilarious. the League is called "Super Gentleman Alliance." It gets better dorian grays name in the movie is "space thunder sky f$%^er." And "elephantt" appears on the screen every so often.

I only saw about 20% of the damb thing. I got off lucky with the eye bleeding thing.

For a movie review article, I was 'forced' to watch Underworld. Needless to say that movie did worse things than just make my eyes bleed.

*shudder*

And I want my car to be one of those ol' fashion limos or something like that. Did they even have limos back then?

I will pretty much only toss in these situations:

1) We are running from a room, cave, ect. full of things we would not like to have following us.

2) We are out in the open and being cashed in cars

3) Running outside over a small bridge, wood not stone, and everyone is on the correct side and the bad guys are on the other.

Also, after we meet Vamps and other monsters with obivous weaknesses ill spend some time making weapons to use against them. For example, I might change my MCs to Hloly water if we know we are going up against Vamps or might be.

Only for the insanely rich.

And they were about the size of a Ugo. Ran about as well, too.

1. New discussion.

2. They were the Model A Raodster I believe, a steal at $600!

Maybe I should be insanely rich. But I want a good car though, which is good for chase scenes. Something fast.

Might I suggest the 'Corvette' of the 1920s:

A 1986 Pontiac Acadian.

You'll be getting so much ass, you won't have to be rich cause your friends will think you're bling bling anyways.

You do realize you said the 'corvette' of the 1920's was a 1986 vehicle...

The 'Corvette of the 1920's was the Mercedes-Benz SSK, a steal at only $8000 dollars! (And that is basically a small fotune in the 1920's...)

*rolls eyes* No, Zero. I was totally unaware of that I said a 1920s Corvette was a 1986 Hatchback.

Wow. I really feel like an idiot now. Where's IHMN? He should be here belittling me to make himself feel like a better person.

*rolls eyes even harder. They fall out and Demon collapses.*

*looks at eyes which fell out of Demon's eye sockets* *rolls sanity* *sanity check prevails* Yay, I'm not insane yet. *sees a cthulu* *pulls out pocket knife....*

*Tiny mole walks by, finds Demon's eyes with its paws, puts them into own eye sockets and proclaims "I can see! I can see!" before being beaten to a pulp with a bat weilded by a hungry redneck*

...........O.O

Okay, now I think I just failed my sanity check...

We're very lucky mods never come here... So many bans would happen. (I would start posting in the new thread by the way, since all your doing is random spammy crap, even more so then what I do)

Heh.

Godzilla vs Cthulhu

Marvel as Japanese extras run around a green screen set yelling 'Gojilaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!'

Marvel as Japanese extras run around a gree screen set yelling "Kujuluuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Marvel that I was the first (it would seem) to come up with this joke in this disscussion thread.

Hehe. Wonder who would win though. My money's on Godzilla. Go godzilla, go!

King of All monsters vs. the King of the elder gods

My money's on Cthulhu the whole telepathic power gives him a huge advantage

Eep! New Topic is open for business, Jad. Just a head's up!
