OOC chat thread (Participants only pls)

[chalice]

Works for me.

Josh has a nerve - first persuading Heldrik not to dash off to Amber, now slagging him off to Roland for not doing so;)

[Wired*Nun]

It's been three hours or so, which objectively is still just two minutes in Amber, but Josh is just trying to refocus everyone for the task ahead.

[Shutter]

Ok, I edited my post slightly, and I'll go back in a moment to edit it a bit further to bring it comfortably in line with the agreed upon view of things.

Dave, do you think you could move the OOC posts over here? Or could we just delete them. More fun to have a "clean" thread. Just an idea.

...Now I also get to figure out how Roland expresses his anger at Gray for that...fun fun fun...

Yeah, I just love my character being turned into a liar by back-editing when she was being totally honest, as she thought, at the time. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm going to be deleting her earlier statement right now - she may be many things, but she is not a pointless liar, and I am not twisting her character so that she becomes one.

Get mad at her for something else - she usually throws people enough excuses;)

[chalice]

Gray:"Thank you. Others in Amber are already aware of Landon's loss and presumably taking whatever action they feel appropriate."

Deleted.

But it appears as aquote in the Roland message which responded, and I can't edit that

Shutter, please alter to :" Benedict is already aware of Landon's loss and presumably taking whatever action he feels appropriate."

[Shutter]

Gray: ok, I'll go edit accordingly.

As for Roland being pissed, nothing to do with editing, it's for the "I'm going to point out how you guys are being rude" part. He's not a fan of that kind of thing.

[LynMars]

I get the feeling our characters' different upbringings are going to clash spectacularly soon....

[chalice]

Gray: ok, I'll go edit accordingly.

That's cool. Gray isn't a fan of people being rude to her and her friends.

[Shutter]

I get the feeling our characters' different upbringings are going to clash spectacularly soon....
Reckon so. What fun:)

[Wired*Nun]

GTG, presume Josh is as good as his word and won't say anything unless directly asked or attacked, and go to town without me. See you all in eleven hours.

[Shutter]

Heh. I forget who's in the room and I get Roland in all kinds of trouble. Poor guy:)

[chalice]

Back soon - must have fooood!

[Thanos]

->Thanos' mind boggles at the huge amount of text in the other thread.

Wow and people are expecting me to wade into this? ;-)

[LynMars]

I'm not; just commenting to myself, in my little corner, hoping it doesn't blow up...though I wanna know how Heldrik reacts to having this version of Gray messing with his hair...

[Thanos]

LoL....and a few giggles later.

Ah, I am happy I got all of that out in a reasonably short fashion... still a monster post.

[Thanos]

I will be back to post, as I have a busy night, around 10 PST.
The site says its 16:38 and its about 4:45 for me now. so that will be in 5:15 hours from this post :-)

Was very fun to read all of the posts and having something to say after it all :-)

[Icebird]

I think hiding in the corner is a good idea, although Arrotel would much rather be hiding outside at this point. He wasn't intentionally being rude- people were just debating who should talk to Asmundson, and he voluntered.

[LynMars]

The timing and manner in which he did it was poorly chosen, however; didn't earn him many cool points, I think. Ah well. It's done. But now that Arrotel's left the room, Heldrik and Roland will likely adjourn for the time being, since Kat isn't around either. Rae kinda wants to get out of there herself at this point; not much one for confronation, and she's about given up trying to keep the peace when family seems determined, if not predisposed, to infighting. :)

[Wired*Nun]

I'd like to forward the plot a bit, and get people back into smaller groups, because we end up with IC conversations ostensibly with everyone there but sometimes (like this time with Kat) when the player is not. It's just a bit unwieldly. I thought I've been dropping hints IC to try to get the groups on their way, but maybe not enough.

I'd like to see the Amber contact get started or finished, either IC or in summary, Heldrik and Roland's players should decide how. I'd like to see the Heldrik group and the Roland group go forward towards their respective lines of investigation. As some may or may not know, Trey/Landon has rejoined us and is RPing on his own, and will continue to play as far as I know. Rebis is out there to be encountered, but no hurry. I eventually foresee a minimum of three groups, maybe more, for the sake of my sanity.

[chalice]

Yay! for Trey being back around the place - 'lo, Trey!

And definitely 'yay!' to getting on with things :nod: I won't post anything for Gray until the Amber contact is out the way, so as not to slow things down or interfere with any 'fast-forwards'.

[Wired*Nun]

I don't think posting for Gray will interfere with anything unless it involves the two leaders of the groups, so she could continue to RP other things like with Arrotel, Asmundson, or anyone else on the periphery right now...

[chalice]

OK, boss. Also wanted to add - thanks for the clear direction. I'm better with that than with IC hints - as a player it was obvious Josh was passing on GM hints, but it was hard as Gray not to react with 'what's he playing at? - first telling us to slow down, then to speed up' - never sure whether to gloss over that stuff or not. Sometime you gloss and then it comes back to bite you...;)

[TreyKincaide]

Thanks for the cheer chalice. Now that Dave let the cat out of the bag, I guess I can post here again. :)

Hi all.

[Tamarind]

Welcome back Trey - looking forward to meeting IC sometime :smiling:

[Wired*Nun]

Might be sooner than later...gloomy foreshadowing...

[TreyKincaide]

Spooookkkyyyyyy......

[Tamarind]

Is it just me or is there foreboding music in the background...:paranoid:

[TreyKincaide]

No there's foreboding music in the background. I'm at the campus union and they're playing songs that would put an elevator to shame.

Nice meeting you btw, Tamarind. Should be fun. :)

[Tamarind]

No there's foreboding music in the background. I'm at the campus union and they're playing songs that would put an elevator to shame.
My condolences - you could try sabotaging their PA...

Nice meeting you btw, Tamarind. Should be fun. :)
Likewise, I mean how bad can gloomy foreshadowing really be?

[TreyKincaide]

I would be outside so I could smoke while I'm working on a stupid XML/XSL assignment but I need to keep my laptop's battery charged up.

Oh well. If they start playing rock like the campus station is supposed to I'll survive at least until I'm done.

Gloomy foreshadowing....You had to ask didn't you? Now we're soooo screwed. The gloomy misadventures of Rebis and Landon some how doesn't sound like it'd make it to primetime.

[LynMars]

....So how come I'm the last to know, huh? Last I heard, Trey was just reading along, and occasionally chatting with Dave...:|

Anyway, I think Landon and Rebis would be great prime time! Though the special effects budget would be enormous...:fun:

[TreyKincaide]

Because, my dear, I lied. You should come to expect that from me by now. I am a sneaky git after all. :)

As far as primetime goes. Well, it might be okay if it wasn't toooo gloomy. Maybe it could be called "The maudlin misadventures of Landon and Rebis."

Landon afterall would insist on top billing. =P

[chalice]

How about 'The Mildly Maudlin Misadventures...'

[LynMars]

......I See. Well then. Two can play at these sort of games, my dear. :evil:

And yes, yes Landon would, the pretentious little...I mean, uh...

[TreyKincaide]

Hey now. I had my reasons.

Nice idea chalice. Alliteration makes everything better. :)

[LynMars]

Trey: yes, I know you did...
Guardians of Order now has the Amber RPG books available online at DriveThruRPG, at reasonable prices:

http://www.iguardians.net/boards/showthread.php?t=2979

I personally like Nisarg's comments in the next post down; I'm sure there is a way to copy them to back them up, he just hasn't found it yet...

And yeah, I know; DTRPG probably has good reason to assume such...

[Wired*Nun]

Hey, don't beat Trey up too much, he needed the break and to RP at his own pace, and to do a little "character shaping."

I think it should be "Rebis and Landon Lee..." haha.

[chalice]

And Arthur! Arthur should be in the cartoon, in his Sherlock Holmes outfit!

[chalice]

OOC clarification, please: Ice, you've posted a response to Raevyn checking up on Arrotel. I thought Gray was doing that - have we both done it, or did you mean Gray?

[TreyKincaide]

LMAO. That's awesome. Thanks for the back up Dave. I appreciate it.

[Shutter]

Nothing for me to post yet in main thread....Going to follow Thanos and Dave's lead on how long the Trump call to Flora needs to be. Can be two lines, could easily be two pages. Either way works for me.

[Wired*Nun]

OOC clarification, please: Ice, you've posted a response to Raevyn checking up on Arrotel. I thought Gray was doing that - have we both done it, or did you mean Gray?
It has to be Gray, and I fixed it.

[Shutter]

Ok so, me, the player, has at various times in his past been an avid martial artist. Used to be video-game character good with the fancy moves, was very fun. Since then, injuries + real life = no time for fancy. I use a variety of schools, styles etc. Ok, so. The Point. I came accross this excersive for forearm strength. It is:

Fully open and fully clench your fist as rapidly as possible for thirty seconds.

So, how many times can you guys do it in thirty seconds? 'Cause holy crap is it hard! Far harder than I'd thought it would be, and I only manage to go about half the speed that the author reccomends as a starting point.

Man...work is really frustrating today...

[Wired*Nun]

Shutter, I have no lead. I need you and Heldrik to agree on either doing it IC, or in summary form. If Heldrik doesn't get on soon enough for your taste, just make the decision for him.

[Thanos]

Sorry, will post here shortly.

[Shutter]

Well, Heldrik is allegedly on right now, I'm just waiting on him to do something...

heh....there he is.

[Tamarind]

And Arthur! Arthur should be in the cartoon, in his Sherlock Holmes outfit!
Very dangerous :roll: We'd have the pilot of "Landon & Rebis' Mildly Maudlin Adventures" and then we'd be back in Season One as "Arthur Holmes and His Maudlin Companions..." - assuming the networks didn't just ditch us completely in favour of the "Adventures of Arthur Holmes - Canine Sleuth" ;)

[TreyKincaide]

"He's a high class fop with something to hide and a loyal dog, he's (insert Rebis's description here).... They fight Crime!!!!!

[Tamarind]

"He's a high class fop with something to hide and a loyal dog, he's an idealistic young man with a shadowy past searching for answers.... They fight Crime!!!!!"

[Thanos]

OOC question. Did Landon have one of those ruby rings of pattern explosion? I could have sword he did and that we had talked about it IC, but I just can't seem to find it. Maybe I am confused about the other group?

Trey?

[chalice]

I was sure Flora gave him one of these, and that he told us he had it. Yep, here we go:

Flora's image comes in. "How are things? I have something for you. Fiona just got done making it, and I can vouch for its safety - to you - as far as I can." She hands Landon a ruby ring. "Wear this, and if you need to activate it with a strong mental command. It will emit a burst and beacon of Pattern energy, which we will interpret as a call for aid. Only use it if you can't use the usual means to contact us, or if you get into dire trouble. Don't let anyone not of the Blood wear it, I prefer you keep it on yourself." She will close the contact after any further conversation.

Soon afterwards, Arrotel asked about it and was told:

“Originally Posted by Icebird [Assuming Landon takes the ring, and isn't trying to hide it]
"Interesting trinket. Who'd it come from and what does it do?" ”As Landon slips the ring on he replies, "As it was explained to me it's a distress beacon that Fiona made. When activated, it shoots up a small flare powered by the Pattern. We're only to use it in the most direst of emergencies when all other means fail." Landon smiles and seems to be in a bit of a better mood than previously.

[Wired*Nun]

Nite all. See you in 12 hours or so. Anyone heard from pygysis?

[Shutter]

Heh. It makes me chuckle that PCs blame Roland for the Thari whispering when he was just replying to Josh.

[chalice]

Heh. It makes me chuckle that PCs blame Roland for the Thari whispering when he was just replying to Josh.
Is it's any consolation, Gray blames both of 'em;)

[Shutter]

At least she's got fairness with the craziness :)

Yeah, that would actualy be of consolation to Roland. He's not quite as tough as he ought to be, still gets upset about false accusation. Needs to grow a thicker skin methinks.

[chalice]

At least she's got fairness with the craziness :)
WOW - did someone just call Gray well-balanced???

[Shutter]

WOW - did someone just call Gray well-balanced???
Well...maybe not well balanced :)

But, sure, there are elements of balance...somewhere...sort of....:P

[TreyKincaide]

The answer to Thanos's question as Gray posted. Yes. However, the answer to that question isn't very useful when one takes into account the innumerable amount of things that could have happened to him.

[Thanos]

Not a fact in dispute by the player :-)

But to Heldrik if something very bad had happened to Landon, he would have expected Landon to be strong/bright enough to get the Ruby Ring to work and let people know he was in danger. Then again he might be trying to talk his way out of it still ;-) nobody knows.

I always seem to be getting in here a bit late for all of you :-(

[chalice]

Darn - you were first too late, then too early for me....

[LynMars]

chalice is Lucifer! Until she posts something else...

[Thanos]

LOL!

She could be Lucifer ;-)

[Wired*Nun]

Chalice, like foosball, is da debil!

[Wired*Nun]

Need to clarify some things, as people keep losing track of the asic layout of Jorden:

art Studio (not study) - on the second floor
Waiting room - second floor, down the hall
Dining room, kitchens, library, main hall - first floor
Josh's study - third floor
Personal rooms - third floor
fencing salle - basement, with a side open to the balcony on the cliff
Cupola - fourth floor, round observation tower

Also, since Raevyn is down on the beach with A, you may want to forward Kat to finding her (it's pretty easy, ask any of the servants or observe from the cupola).

[chalice]

Get thee behind me, Lucifer!

Somebody else's turn to be devilish...

[chalice]

Tamarind's employers have sent him off to a meeting in London, so he won't be around to post before this evening.

[Icebird]

My internet access this week will be sparadic- expect me on only 2-3 times. I'm spending the week in NM, and my dad doesn't have internet at home, so I'll only be able to do stuff when I go to work with him.

[Wired*Nun]

Your what doesn't have what at what? That's like, not having a TV or something. Positively stone age! Try the local library, they usually have free internet access.

[Icebird]

I would use the library, but it's about an hour and a half hike (not walk) from the house, and I have neither car nor bike.

[LynMars]

I've noticed that it's nearly impossible to live without net access, especially now that I'm back in school; all my classes use it, as well as general school admin stuff. When Trey and I lived in a house without it for a time, he practically lived on campus. Like not having a phone; you have no contact with the rest of the world without it anymore...

[Wired*Nun]

Where in NM does he live? Must be wayy out in the sticks. At least it's Zelazny country, eh?

[chalice]

I would use the library, but it's about an hour and a half hike (not walk) from the house, and I have neither car nor bike.
I initially misread this as 'I have neither CAT nor bike' (loooong day at work, OK?) and had a fleeting mental image of you in a cart drawn by large ginger kitties....

[Wired*Nun]

You people are teasing me! I see "one viewing" and the no post? What's up with that!

[Tamarind]

Forgot to copy into Word before the post (again!) so it ate it :( ...reposted now though :)

[Thanos]

Dave,

I am usually online, but at the site, not in this section when I am at work...however, its often hard to get away and post :-(

[Wired*Nun]

OOps!

[LynMars]

....Methinks Thanos' post just got eaten...

...and there it is!

[Thanos]

Thats what happens when you try and hit shift and hit enter instead :-P

[Wired*Nun]

We got most of the crew here, lets see if we can get this party ended, so to speak.

[Thanos]

We could summarize the Roland/Josh convo?

I know Heldrik will be 100% in the morning, regardless of what happens during the night (which seems to be a lot of crying and remembering dead people).

[Wired*Nun]

Not sure what that means...

[Thanos]

Heldrik and Gray are having a conversation in her room, which Chalice and I are doing by PM so that we can post it as one long post. We figured it would take a few days (or a couple of real time AIM conversations) to work through the entire thing with Eric, Finndo, and Holly. We didn't want to slow the entire game down for that time period.

[Shutter]

Boy, Roland's going to feel like an ass in the morning if he has to be mean to people who are emotionaly drained from a night of trudging through the past...That could be interesting.

[Wired*Nun]

Closing up shop, see you all in the morning. Expect Heldrik's group to launch in the game morning, wherever that may be.

[Shutter]

No, GM can't leave us!....ah, fair enough. g'night Dave.

[Thanos]

Heldrik delt with his problems a long time ago (over a century) when it comes to his wife and friends and 'kids'. He delt with Finndo soon after he escaped as he tried to find him and soon figured out that he left his sword behind because he knew he was going to get killed. That was a few years ago...so Heldrik is cool with all that. Gray on the other hand has had 2-4 days since she found out that her family, mother, father, packmates are all dead and gone.

[Shutter]

Yeah...wasn't Heldrik I was really worried about;) Roland might wander into another talkin-to I reckon....We'll see though, maybe he'll get lucky?

[chalice]

Gray was doing pretty well keeping things at bay until she started reading that book of Lintra's...Nasty, Horrid Book!

Don't worry for Roland - Gray will probably be more sleepy than anything in the morning, and may not actually come to the breakfast meeting at all.

[Thanos]

Dave

You must be having a rough night or somethingto be up again online?

[Pygysys]

Right, I'm off to vote, wish me luck... okay not me, I'm just hoping our current PM gets ousted from office. So go the Opposition!

Back in a couple of hours - gotta do curtain shopping too. :)

[Tamarind]

Exercising your democratic right to vote and your inalienable right to shop too - busy day :P

Hopr you find some you like - we're off to buy trees, shrubs and power-tools :evil: later, tremble ye lavender beds!

[Tamarind]

Waha! I'm a ghoul! At last the hours of shambling around malls as a mere zombie are over :fun:

[chalice]

Test - found the link to his character description that Roland uses as a sig so useful that I've attempted to create one for Gray. No techno disasters so far...

[Pygysys]

We managed to secure curtain rods and fittings before eventually settling on curtains as well! I got to use the power drill! Mwahahaha...

Find me a shrubbery!

Meanwhile... it's grown awfully dark here and looks like it's going to pour down with rain. I think that's an omen that the evil government is going to remain in power. *Cries again*

[chalice]

Power tools are FUN!

[Wired*Nun]

Dave

You must be having a rough night or somethingto be up again online?
What mean you? I left at 2200 or so my time, just getting sleepy.

[Thanos]

I just saw your post about going to bed earlier during the day, then saw you logged in at various times later on much later after that....I was still at work.

[Wired*Nun]

My wife uses my login too, to communicate with me in the private GM forum. So, sometimes it's not me.

[Shutter]

Dave: That's quite cute.

Pygysys: My condolences on the election.

[chalice]

Dave: That's quite cute.

Pygysys: My condolences on the election.
On the other hand...Pygysys, do you realise that if we time this right, we can both be using power tools on opposite sides of the world at the same time...? Mwah-hah-ha-ha-ha...

[LynMars]

That is a frightening thought, Chalice....I like it....Maybe I should find me some power tools and we can all use them; I'll be the midway point! :)

[Wired*Nun]

OK, I am out for the night, looks like y'all posted once and left. That's ok too! I have someone waiting to use the comp anyway.

[LynMars]

I was afraid I'd missed a lot today, too....Wasn't able to get online until 2:30pm here, and then only after swiping Trey's laptop (cuz he needed the desktop for LARP influence). Have a good night, Dave!

[Thanos]

Good night Dave.

Read up on Heldrik and Gray in the morning ;-)

[chalice]

That is a frightening thought, Chalice....I like it....Maybe I should find me some power tools and we can all use them; I'll be the midway point! :)
oh yes. YES!

Techno-lasses of the world, unite!

[chalice]

And the Landon/Rebis theme tune starts up in the background....'if you go down in the wooooooods today...'

[LynMars]

Is there anyone else who finds describing that short story as the "Heldrik and Gray Bedroom Scene" as slightly wrong? ;) I just thought, "well, if that couldn't be taken the wrong way...."

But I'm just being silly. :D

I used to have Rae's description linked in my signature; where Shutter and I have played before, it's curtesy to have it available for all the other players and GMs, but I don't see much need of that here at this point.

Landon and Rebis have a theme song? Moving up in the world. :)

We-ell. It's accurate in the sense that it did happen in Gray's bedroom..maybe Heldrik just had second thoughts about taking advantage of a 17-year-old...?
I like the sig thing. I am dead easily impressed by technology:smiling:

And can't wait to see the double-act...

[LynMars]

Me neither; which reminds me, I may need to make an alternate card for Landon; he's let me know a little of what's happened to him, asking advice on how to write a response occasionally. All I have to say about it?

Dave is Eeeeeeevvviiiiiilllllll :evil:

[Pygysys]

On the other hand...Pygysys, do you realise that if we time this right, we can both be using power tools on opposite sides of the world at the same time...? Mwah-hah-ha-ha-ha...
You never know but I won't be using power tools for some time now. I did manage to put up one set of curtains in my room, but was planning on doing the other set today...

Except last night on the job I fell in someone's driveway (Long story) and I have broken my ankle. So now I'm swinging around the house on crutches with my right leg in a cast. Very swollen, very painful and very inconvenient.

Oh and in politics the government won by an increased majority. I am sad but saw it coming and at least, if nothing else, am a realist. My party will win at the next election in 3-4 years, as the PM will retire about a year or a year and a bit into his term of office and his second who will take over has the charm of an eel, and hence will lose the next election. :)

Okay maybe the painkillers haven't exactly worn off yet...

[chalice]

Oh noooooo! Poor you! Take more drugs!

[Pygysys]

I'm trying to avoid the drugs for the moment, I don't want to get hooked on painkillers over something trivial like a broken ankle. I want something extreme! Something spectacular! Or depending on how I feel come later today, it could be the ankle. ;)

[Tamarind]

Aaargghh! No! Chalice is right - take more drugs, preferably with Cherry Brandy for proper effect - and get better soon!

Hugs,
Tam

[Pygysys]

Thanks! I have this current cast on till the 19th and then it will be replaced with a permanent cast. The doctor seems to think that I'll probably be in a cast for 4-6 weeks. So no driving. *Cries* No work. *Cries some more* The hardest thing will be uni, as there are lectures and practicals and the like. Exams are also 5 weeks or so away, so study at least will be fun and I'll have more time for it without distraction. Not to mention more time at home on the computer for posting to the game. :)

[LynMars]

Poor Pygysys; Hope you feel better soon. :(

[Thanos]

Shutter, you goobe.... delete some of your PM's so we can have our DUEL!

When you decide to get rid of some messages I can send you a PM.

[Thanos]

Is there anyone else who finds describing that short story as the "Heldrik and Gray Bedroom Scene" as slightly wrong? ;) I just thought, "well, if that couldn't be taken the wrong way...."

But I'm just being silly. :D

ok oK OK
There is few ways of looking at this.....

A) Heldrik got cold feet when Gray said she was 17 and didn't want to rob the cradle consider he is 10 times older than Gray.
B) Heldrik got turned off when he figured he was going to have to break in a virgin.
C)Heldrik is just a really nice sensitive guy concerned about his young friend and companion.

Now for those of you who are thinking A or B, get your mind out of the gutter and go read C again....


Regardless, it got your attention to go read it ;-)

[Shutter]

Box: clear
Goobe status: intact

[Shutter]

Also: Heal well Pygysys!

[Wired*Nun]

Pyg, sorry to hear about your injury. I am fortunate to only have broken one thing in my life, which was my right thumb joint shattered in an SCA practice, and it wasn't fun. At least we shall have the pleasure of your company more often.

And yes, I have an evil side...kind of like the Star Trek episode that split Kirk in two...just have to keep it in check. Good thing I have this outlet.

[LynMars]

Broke my right wrist when I was six (good thing I'm a lefty); that was fun, especially as it was right before spending a week in San Antonio with my Aunt's family...and my Dad neglected to mention it before I arrived...She was not happy. I had a great time, went swimming and everything--which was really bad for the cast by the time that week was over....

Stay out of the gutter? But Thanos, it's nice and comfy and dirty down here...

And if my posts make next to no sense, it's post-LARP, and I'm wiped out; if I have to edit in the morning, I will...

And the new Landon card is done. May tweak it a bit here and there, trim it to avatar size; only stuff I'll likely notice, but whatever...I rather like it. You all don't get to see it until Dave and Jon say you can, though!

[Pygysys]

Until this injury the only thing I had ever broken was the little toe on my left foot and that was due to laziness on my part.

The hardest thing at the moment is dealing with the crutches and getting around slowly. It's reminding me of all the things I normally take for granted.

[Thanos]

Injury and Sickness are often God's way of reminding us what is important in life :-)

[Wired*Nun]

Deployment too. One of my favorite quotes from C.S. Lewis: "It is our suffering that defines us." Thanks to everyone here, and regular contact with my family, I am not suffering too badly.

BTW, Asmundson does carry arround his paintings in a small folio, I think I mentioned it a while back, but in case I didn't, now I do. His paintings all tend to be about 5x8 (inches) , since he hasn't developed the tradition or precision to do card-sized Trumps.

[Wired*Nun]

It's midnight, my time, time for this kid to hit the hay. The ball is all yours, gang. Enjoy.

[LynMars]

I think Heldrik's comment got missed, if it was, due to being on page 9, and so many people posting between then and now.

Lots of stuff going on; Rae's definately not going to try and be sneaky for a long time; she wasn't even really trying to, there, but it came out that way, apparently, and now she feels bad...ah well. She'll learn, maybe.

And I tried to make a card for our friend Asmundson; not a lot of description of him, so I did what I could; let me know what you all think. :)

[Wired*Nun]

Asmundson looks like Mr. French on Family Affair, if any of you youngsters ever saw that show. Alternatively, a younger Orson Welles, with a beard.

Let me see if I can find a picture on the net:

Hope this helps.

[chalice]

This is almost exactly how I'd been picturing him...weird.

[chalice]

Am I imagining things, or has Rae's avatar changed?

[LynMars]

Our internet was really intermittant yesterday, and I was bored. After doing the alternate Landon card, Asmundson card, and one other, I went back and looked at a few older ones I did and made some minor adjustments to things like hair coloring and few lines that didn't look quite right. I pretty much went back and completely re-did my own; then just flipped it to see who noticed. Gold star for Chalice!

As for Asmundson, I couldn't find any description of his colorations, so I went with a darker reddish color to be different; so many people with dark hair! Least I've gotten better at shading different tones of black...I could alter it a bit more, easily. I think I was pretty much imagining something similar to the photos there.

[chalice]

Well, I think the 'new Rae' looks adorable:smiling:

[Shutter]

< Player wanders into the forum grumbling about stubborn characters >

Sorry for the delay, Roland and I are having a bit of a disagreement right now on what he wants to say...

[chalice]

Ha! And people say Gray has a split personality...;)

[Shutter]

Heh...Roland is being surprisingly tight-lipped these passed few days. I don't think he wants to make anything remotely speech-like...I'm trying to get him to talk, but he's stubborn when I don't have my coffee....Again, sorry for the delay, should have something up soon.

[Shutter]

Ok, I've posted....it's lame, but it's up. bleh.

[LynMars]

Thanks, Chalice. I don't dare mess with Agraynel's card at all; I don't think I can do anything more to that one.http://www.online-roleplaying.com/forums/images/smilies/smiley%20-%20wink.gif

And it wasn't terrible lame, Shutter; it works for me. But you see what I mean about some characters being stubborn about what they say or do? Rae and I haven't had any real disagreements yet.:fun:

[TreyKincaide]

Landon and I seem strange enemies. I think he's saying one thing and he always seems to be saying something else. :)

[chalice]

Thanks, Chalice. I don't dare mess with Agraynel's card at all; I don't think I can do anything more to that one.http://www.online-roleplaying.com/forums/images/smilies/smiley%20-%20wink.gif
No, don't - I love it just the way it is!

And it wasn't terrible lame, Shutter; it works for me. But you see what I mean about some characters being stubborn about what they say or do? Rae and I haven't had any real disagreements yet.:fun:
I didn't think it was lame either. I'd hate to be in Roland's position (or his player's).

Gray doesn't always cooperate either - I mean, I really planned for her to be good and quiett this morning, but the Kat comment just happened along anyhow. Sigh.

[LynMars]

Kat's just trying to get into character, but I do think Asmundson knows who she is. Debating whether or not to say anything about the comment, but that "spark of mischeif" I think I'll take as a teasing tone and leave it go. Rae's already shot herself in the foot once this morning just doing as she was asked; no need to make things worse when just trying to help. :)

Rae's already shot herself in the foot once this morning just doing as she was asked; no need to make things worse when just trying to help. :)Given that Kat greeted Arrotel with a 'well met, brother' on arrival, and later informed him that Siodmak was 'our brother', both times in front of Asmundsen, who is not deaf, Gray assumes this charade is not meant to deceive anyone. Her comment is teasing, but with a serious side to it if anyone wants to pay attention - namely that the pretence isn't going to be very successful if this is how well the rest of her group support Kat in her role. Have added a 'thought' to this effect to the post to clarify. (Thanks, Lyn.)

[LynMars]

Just gotta be careful with thoughts, since they are just that, and no one else can hear them ICly, though they do help clarify a little, accentuating tone some, I think, in a way that's hard to get across in this medium. And they do add to the narrative, and a character's POV. :)

[Shutter]

Hmm...first I couldn't get him to talk, now he just keeps yapping.

[Shutter]

Just double checking here: Roland has no idea that Gray is a shapeshifter right? I don't think he has a clue about that, just wanted to make sure.

[chalice]

Just double checking here: Roland has no idea that Gray is a shapeshifter right? I don't think he has a clue about that, just wanted to make sure.She certainly hasn't said 'Roland, I am a shapeshifter' - it hasn't exactly come up in conversation. She shifted right in front of him when they were talking the other night, though, when she changed her aspect and eye colour - she made no effort to hide it. And she has spoken frequently of recognising people, or tracking them, by scent. She spoke to Telloth in raptor language in front of some people, while Josh and Arrotel were juggling Trumps - I can't recall if Roland was there? She has certainly referred more than once to 'packs' and other wolf-related stuff. What, if anything, Roland has worked out from this is not for me to say.

[Shutter]

He's certainly noticed something is up with her. I don't think he's come to the shapeshifter conclusion though. Such things are a bit beyond his experience and I think he's more likely to reach for an explanation that's a little more tangible to him (some sort of druid maybe? Maybe some appearance spell?) Although, it did just occur to me that he read Lintra's book...perhaps that is enough for him to put one and one together?...hmmm...

[chalice]

he read Lintra's book...perhaps that is enough for him to put one and one together?...hmmm...
...but add them together to make what...?;)

[Wired*Nun]

In this case they make three, or maybe four...oh heck, maybe five.

[Shutter]

eleven?

[chalice]

fish?


BTW, I am being thick. Roland might well know about the shapeshifting if it was in the report given by Heldrik (I don't know if it was). Kat should definitely know because I can't see Darius and co not including it in their report, and Kat might or might not have told Roland ('cos poor Pygysys was distracted by having a broken limb round about then).

[Thanos]

Heldrik did not include it in his report, that is fluff, and a needless distraction from the shadow being a prison and finding the trump of Joakim.

[Shutter]

Ah, good points there Chalice...hmm...reckon I'll assume that Roland does not know now, but he'll learn of it quite soon.

[Wired*Nun]

This may just be one of those cases where everyone assumes someone knows something but they don't.

BTW, shutter, what are you waiting for to post?

[Wired*Nun]

-and there it is, simulposted. lol.

[Shutter]

Had to figure out what I wanted to say, and how I wanted to say it....also, got this "job" thing I keep trying to do...Union guys just came by trying to shake me down for money and I have to decide if I want to pay them or not.

[Wired*Nun]

Hope your kneecaps are ok.

[Wired*Nun]

Nice to see so many on. We desperately need to get the main group split up, pleeease.

[Thanos]

Oh, yes, please.......

3-4 posts with all of us here is all that it will take I think.

[LynMars]

Agreed. While it's only been less than a day in Jorden, it's been over week in the real world. Still moves a heck of a lot faster than the Nice forums, though, or even some of the other RP's here. Anyway, let's get this meeting over with and be on our respective ways. :)

[Shutter]

Almost there...as far as I can tell they can split up now. No drawn out goodbyes are needed as far as I'm concerned. Just more opportunity for them to piss each other off. Darn kids.

[Pygysys]

Actually the 'Bodyguard' comment was to serve two purposes, 1) getting into character for Kat, and 2) a very subtle warning to Asmundson and the others. Stuff has passed between Roland, Raevyn and Kat, which she takes very seriously. Josh just gets included in the umbrella due to other factors.

[Thanos]

I have one more intended post to make in the Conference thread and I think Chalice will be making one more there after that....then we can either go back to the old thread or start another one.

Please note that Heldrik is not getting Kat's men, nor asked for them to be along for the ride this time.

[Wired*Nun]

Roger, I will make starters for the threads, switch to them when ready.

[Wired*Nun]

Pygysys, please note Heldrik's post above about the Orphans. Looks like they are all with you this time.

[Thanos]

Posted it IC now as well ;-)

[Pygysys]

Yeah got the IC post first and will deal with that ICly when they arrive to report their dismissal from Heldrik. Got something else planned for them now. :)

[Wired*Nun]

1 am here, I am going beddy-bye. Nite all. I feel good about things now.

[Shutter]

G'night Dave. Suspect that we feel good now too.


....hrm...hope Icebird is ok with all this...reckon he will be.

[chalice]

G'night, then, Happy Dave!

[Thanos]

Yeah, only crinkle in the plan is Arrotel.

[Pygysys]

Night Dave, sleep well.

[Shutter]

Not sure if I read Kat correctly...is she speaking at the end to Roland et al. or to the Orphans? How many Orphans are there total, 5 or 6? Is Quinn already gone?....I think that summarizes my confusion...

[Pygysys]

The five show up at the door, Darius comes in and tells her they were dismissed by Heldrik and then she turns to the others - meaning you guys. :) Sorry, should have made that clearer. There are 5 in total (Orphans), Quinn can't leave without assistance, which is why Kat is putting it to you guys for suggestions - Trump or Shadow? :)

[Shutter]

Gotcha. Thanks:)

[Pygysys]

I also did a quick edit of the post as well. :)

[chalice]

Just to check:

I think that Arrotel, Rae and Kat gave Trumps of themselves to Gray, but Roland and Josh didn't. But it's late, so can I check I've got that right with you folks?

[Pygysys]

Kat gave a Trump of herself to Gray, yes.

[Shutter]

Without digging through to see what I wrote, I certainly meant for Roland to hand a Trump of himself to Heldrik, Gray, Arrotel, Kat, Josh, and Raevyn. I'll edit it when I get around to compiling that section of things (whenever that happens).

[LynMars]

I'm pretty sure Asmundson left of his power, didn't he, just staying long enough to say goodbye to Gray? Or did he end up staying?

And I think we all exchanged Trumps in the initial meetings and such; I'm pretty sure the intent was for everyone to get a copy of the Trumps made.

[Thanos]

He was pacing in the courtyard after Heldrik asked him to wait there ;-)

[Thanos]

Guys and gals,
Just something nagging in my brain ;-)
I am not sure where anybody is getting the idea that they are a Prince or Princess. As far as I know OOCly the only progeny of any king in the party is Gray (Eric was king in Amber before he died). The only others that carry the title of Prince(ss) are the Elders and Martin (Crowned Prince as his dad is the current king).

In the novels Bill Roth asks Merlin what his titles are and the only one he gives for Amber, to my recollection, is Earl of Kolvir. Somebody correct me if I am wrong though.

[Pygysys]

My men don't know that though Thanos. :) And given none of us were ICly advised of our titles (If any), it just saves a whole lot of time for Kat to say: Here's Prince Roland as this stresses the importance of the individual without having to say anything further.

Remember not all that transpires ICly is transpiring because of obvious reasons.

[Shutter]

Remember not all that transpires ICly is transpiring because of obvious reasons.
Such an interesting fine line isn't it? Do we assume that the player or the character is messing up when something happens that we don't understand, or that we find offensive...Man, you could do some psych or sociology papers on this....reminds me of the economist who started studying Everquest.

[Thanos]

Good good, it was just an annoying fly buzzing about my brain being noisy ;-)

[Shutter]

I know the feeling. There've been more than a few times so far when I've had to ask someone where the misunderstanding was originating. I suspect it will occur to us less and less as time goes on and we're all more comfortable with how we all play.

[Pygysys]

I'm with Shutter on that, as time goes on, we'll get a handle on how each of us does things.

In the meantime though, if someone isn't sure of why I have done/said something in character, feel free to ask me about it via the OOC board or PM. If it's possible to explain without putting my character at a disadvantage (Because I could be doing something sneaky!), then I will. :)

[Thanos]

I actually did a Psychology term paper on Roleplaying Game Characters and personality arch-types. I sampled 10 gamers on the campus and had them describe their favorite character that they had played and why. I had each one take one of those 30 question quizzes that identifies the 16 different arch-types and then compared what I found to what the computer concluded. It was only 45% accurate if it was looking for the persons actual arch-type. However, it was 85% effective if you factored in that people like to play what they are attracted to (ie their arch-types perfect match). The degree of the type of trait was not in question though as I was not cool enough to figure that out with a 1 page character description.
My prof said that what I did was outside the scope of what he was looking for as a project, but the implications of what I did was worth an A to him as a professional as he had never seen that approach.

[Shutter]

Sneakiness?...Sneakiness? But...You act so nice? How could you be sneaky?...

[Pygysys]

That sounds like a very interesting study. Makes me wonder if I'm within the 45% effective range and the 85% effective range. :)

[Thanos]

Shutter, its the nice ones that you have to keep an eye one. You never know when they will turn on you ;-)

[Pygysys]

And bite the hand that feeds it? Never. :P

But this would explain why Heldrik's keeping a close eye on Gray... she's nice and crazy. :P

[Thanos]

Whats the old saying, "keep your friends close and your enemies closer". Where did Landon get himself off to anyways ;-) j/k

[LynMars]

Sneaky? Kat? You've got to be kidding me!:O

We've seen what happens when Raevyn tries to be even a little sneaky....:nervous:

[Wired*Nun]

Josh gave out trumps of himself to all the PCs, extras to Kat if she wants to give to Ophans. Others, it's up to them.

[Icebird]

Yay- I'm back, at least for now. Just finished a bit of catching up- a lot of posting done in the last two days.

[Thanos]

Yeah Icebird, most everybody was getting tired of the weeklong conference ;-)

Good to see you back, sorry we dragged out around so much ;-)

[chalice]

Yeah Icebird, most everybody was getting tired of the weeklong conference ;-)
Yeah, it was dull once Gray ran out of people to annoy :nod: Now we can go find some new people to annoy...and find Landon and Arthur andhave a Fluffy Happy Reunion. Maybe with ice cream.

[Wired*Nun]

Ooh boy are you all gonna have some fun. :devious: Heh heh heh...:evil:

[Icebird]

If anything that breaths fire tries to melt my ice cream, there'll be hell to pay.

[Icebird]

The stuff in the book was Lintra's story, correct?

[chalice]

The stuff in the book was Lintra's story, correct?
Yes.

[Wired*Nun]

I'm going to call it an early night, since not too many are on right now. See you all in the morning!

[Wired*Nun]

I'm going to be lazy and ask, does anyone remember Josh or Raevyn making trumps of Gray? I'm pretty sure that they did NOT take the time to make more trumps once they got into Jorden, I could look, but I'm just asking - especially Chalice. I don't think there are any of Heldrik or Gray in circulation yet, except the one Asmundson just made.

[chalice]

I am absolutely sure no one has said in open posting that they are making Trumps of Gray. What Raevyn and Josh may have done behind the scenes, of course, I have no clue ;)

Gray certainly believes the Asmundson one is the only one that exists.

[LynMars]

Rae tried to make a trump in Amber, but it didn't work; she didn't take the time while still in Jorden to make any after spending time with Gray--too much other stuff was going on, and I didn't want to slow things down more. So unless Josh made one or two at some point, as far as I know, nope.

[Wired*Nun]

OK, that's what I thought. Thanks.

[Wired*Nun]

For Roland group, I'm going to assume Kat agrees and go on with the post, as I am going to head "home" to my trailer soon. That way, you guys can do some discussion.

For Heldrik group, I will set you up as well, for as much discussion as you need.

[Shutter]

Roland made a Sketch of Gray, but no full-blooded Trump.

[chalice]

I'm off for the night.

Just before I go - can I confirm that no one told us the man Rae saw during Joss's assassination was Rinaldo? I'm starting to lose track of all the stuff we don't know:x-eyed: and since Gray has just raised to possibility of talking with Rinaldo, I'd like to be clear whether we know this or not.

[LynMars]

I was under the impression that we had disclosed all info that we had learned, but I could be wrong, there; Rae left that up to Roland's discretion, so you'd have to ask Shutter about what he disclosed and didn't to Heldrik and the others. It might have ended up lost among the details, with all the jabbing.

[chalice]

A short list would be brilliant, if that were possible, as I tend to assume things haven't been done, or said, or changed hands, unless specific statements are mad - and half the time, I miss those too.

Eg for such a list - Lintra's book - given by Josh to Gray, who gave it to Heldrik, who gave it to Arrotel.

[Thanos]

It will be given back to Josh in our next conference call, likely with a note updating your team.

[Pygysys]

For the next few nights, I probably won't be on late my time so if I'm not around when the rest of you are, please feel free to continue as if Kat has agreed with whatever is going on. I don't want to slow down our group with my absence from time to time.

[Thanos]

It is to bad that our guests do not make comments as often when they come and read some of our fiction section or the main storylines. I have noticed a lot of 'guests' of late in the fiction section which is why I comment.

[LynMars]

I know at least one guest for a bit was a fellow from the GG IRC Chat, thinking of joining in; he'd found the link to my Karina story, which I have in her description post on those boards, and read along. He's not sure if he'd have the time to devote to such a fast-running game, though.

A lot of "Guests" likely don't want to create an account just to comment on the threads they read. :)

[Pygysys]

I'm off to bed all, g'night. For the most part, just consider Kat getting a feel for playing second fiddle and protector of Royal sprogs by listening and speaking when spoken to... ;)

[TreyKincaide]

g'night

[Wired*Nun]

What's a sprog?

[Tamarind]

What's a sprog?
Kiddie, at least that's what it means over here :)

[TreyKincaide]

What can't anyone speak American? :cool:

I'm glad that class this week is only 3 days long. Stupid papers. Oh well. One last one, and quick classes tomorrow and I'm finished for the week then it's resume/cover letter submitting time.

[Shutter]

I keep trying to figure out where I first heard the term sprog...I'm failing completely...But, I'm not all that convinced it's an American term at any rate.

I'd like to take this opportunity to mention in OOC space that my father had his prostate taken out yesterday, and there are no signs that the cancer had spread. He's recovering well, all important nerve bundles were spared and my family and I can breathe a Deep sigh of relief...So that's pretty great news. Count me as content.

[Wired*Nun]

Great news, man. Forgive me if I offend, but we'll be praying for him. My mom died of cancer at 50, so I've been there, glad the technology has improved a lot since 1980. Thanks for the update.

On the game front, expect a third public storyline soon - and it's a doozy, thanks to Trey and Tam.

[chalice]

Wonderful news, Shutter. Thoughts with you and yours.

[chalice]

On the game front, expect a third public storyline soon - and it's a doozy, thanks to Trey and Tam.
Theme music! Theme music!

[TreyKincaide]

I've already said that I'm glad in PMs, but I'll do it again. I hope for a quick healthy recovery.

Woohooo!!!! I've always wanted my own theme music.

Dave, why are you giving me the feeling that something is about to go horribly, horribly wrong? :paranoid:

Well, enough procrastination for the moment. I'm back to working on my paper that's due at 1. I'll be hopping back in forth until around 12:20 or so.

[Shutter]

Thanks all:)

Dave, crack the whip and get those two posting! I want to see what's been going on behind the scenes...or at least what it leads to.

[Tamarind]

Oi - no whip needed, I've posted my stuff ;)

[TreyKincaide]

I have too. :fun: Just finished my paper too. (Damn, I'm good).

[LynMars]

I just want them to get moving so I can show off that spiffy new avatar...And I wanna hear the theme music too! ;)

[Shutter]

Lyn! Crack the whip! Quick, someone get over to Iraq and crack the whip at Dave too!

[Wired*Nun]

Fortunately, Trey has been quite active, as I was trying to get his story to the place where I wanted it, without hurrying too much. We could have done it slower and even more richly...but I think he likes the results, so far...

For all those in the two presently-public threads (Roland and Heldrik group), Shutter has suggested, and I concur, that we ought to declare all the basics of each others' storylines as having been passed to each others' group while they were all in Jorden. Anything meant to be secret, like parts of peoples' backgrounds, is still PC-secret, but narrative happenings shared by all (physical events, etc.) can be considered known by both, just to save people from too many misunderstandings. I think players will forget things on PCs' behalfs anyway.

The new thread I am going to start tonight, will begin from right about now, because I want the two principals to go in blind. Later on, I will copy some of their earlier stuff into a prequel thread, once it is more or less public knowledge. So, you all have that to look forward to. For the two guys, please post your instructions in your private thread, and I will post common knowledge in the public thread - kind of double-blind, for the nonce. I will try to edit it all into coherence as we go. Forgive me if it is a slower process, you two were getting a lot of individual attention lately, but now you'll have to share!

[TreyKincaide]

What's the deal yo with you and S&M? :S

[Wired*Nun]

I just want them to get moving so I can show off that spiffy new avatar...And I wanna hear the theme music too! ;)Is it possible to post a link to, or a real, wav file to make theme music play when you click it in this forum?

[TreyKincaide]

Should be. It works like any other hyper link.

[TreyKincaide]

Posted a bunch and just saw Dave's statement about the double-blind secret squirrelly stuff with Tam and me. It's cool.

[LynMars]

Hrm...Where did I put that riding crop...:P

[chalice]

For anyone waiting on Rebis - this is the hour when he drives over to collect me from work and then we drive home - so don't expect any post for at least an hour from now. Sorry - just sucky timing.

[TreyKincaide]

New Avatar commencing

[LynMars]

I put the full version, as well as the old one for comparison, up in the contributions forum; go take a look! I like the changes myself...Whatcha think?

[TreyKincaide]

I have to leave for class in about 20 minutes. :( Once I'm back, I'll update my character description.

[Shutter]

Beard? Black hair? Running around with swords and interesting people? Someone's been having an interesting day.

[TreyKincaide]

A day? Yeah. A day. That's the ticket.

[Shutter]

Well, the "day" figure came from rough head math. He left Heldrik et al. about 18 hours ago by Jorden time. Jorden is blasting along about as fast as can be, 18 hours there is about 10 minutes in Amber, so, I figured, maybe he's had a full day...or perhaps I'm just making a foray into obnoxious RulesLawyerhood...or maybe there are cool IC reasons that I, mere player who should be working, am ignorant of....either way I'm excited to see what's afoot.

[TreyKincaide]

I tried to tally it up, but unfortunately, my poor brain can't wrap around the conversion. Suffice to say, that it's been awhile. I'm sure that it'll all make sense when it leaves the realm of secret and is publicly posted as well as the drastic change.

[LynMars]

Well, Jorden was blasting along at warp speed time; try to go back there without Josh, though, and a day in Jorden turns into a lot of Amber time...Gotta love Shadow time warps...

And I'm pretty sure that neither Rebis nor Landon are on the same time scale we are anymore. :)

[Shutter]

Oh, I know. I'm pretty content with the idea that time's been moving much more rapidly for them...Just observing that, from our characters' perspectives, he's had a hell of a day. From our players' perspective, perhaps the rules on time flow are not as written in stone as we might have thought, an important thing to note before we start thinking we're safe for some reason and conferring this belief to our poor unsuspecting characters.

[TreyKincaide]

Or perceptions thereof. Landon's perception of time very well could have been altered for reasons that I can't disclose.


This should be pretty fun. I'm interested in what chalice's/Gray's reaction is going to be.

[Wired*Nun]

Even in conventional understanding, the 100-to-1 rule of thumb could let him have almost 100 days...but special circumstances, higher Powers, and, as he said, perceptions could change things...

[Wired*Nun]

By the way, I'll try to get something from both sides before I post in Rebis and Landon, at least, for a while.

[Shutter]

Well, the fun thing about the conventional 100-1 rule is the same fun thing that led to the notion of special relativity. If shadow X is going at 100:1 faster than Jorden, and Jorden is going 100:1 faster than Amber then system X is going 10,000:1 faster than Amber, which violates the 100:1 rule. 'Course, that's boring linnear logic. Much more entertaining is an image of time in more of a plane, or spherical geometry, or subject to similar rules to what we (real people) have for the speed of light...Woohoo metaphysics.

[TreyKincaide]

Kinda figured it'd only be fair that way. You might want to put a little OOC reminder in the thread so when Rebis sees it he knows to post in his private thread rather than his own if he misses your earlier OOC post.
