DOUBLE KILL POST
I went through and checked up on my old posts here, namely since I never bothered recording the experience marks (Why Past-Koch? Why.)


Hooooly crap did I do so much stuff wrong not that I've read through the main rulebook much more closely.


1st off, I totally didn't know I could arbitrarily pick people to "know better" even if I never interacted with people. Is it okay if I retroactively pick a few people for the Chapters I was in?


2nd, Not To Be Fucked With specifies you count as a gang in Battle, am I correct in understanding that's battle like...the big Battle or is it just any ol' conflict where people start to kill each other?


3rd, Present Koch. Remember you moves >__> Your cool stat is just Hard when you're under some fire.


4th, I totally have -just- enough xp marks for an advancement and I'd like to buy Pack Alpha. Which could be used for an explanation of why I was MIA for a bit. That or studying (worshiping) the atoma-chan.

@DeusExAlice, your questions:

  1. Sure thing. Let me know who and how you know them.
  2. I've always read it as it has to be more than a fight, it has to be a battle. But I've ALWAYS left it up to the group to decide and have played it both ways because of it. Here to keep it simple, choose what you'd prefer, let me know, and we'll run it that way.
  3. Hell yeah! Missed you, Koch. Rock those moves.
  4. Cool. Do it.

Does the Horseman have any Starting EXP, because of the Level of everyone else in the party, by the way?

No starting XP. This isn't D&D, you don't need it to be awesome and you have to earn it. But, we do have to do Hx. When you're finished with making the character, we'll nail that down.

I'm back. I'm just being generally unpleasant and hermitish after this past semester. But I'll catch up! I swear!

Awesome. So glad you're back and I was gone longer than you, so you're more than fine. I'm just glad you're going to play still!

Is this Hx just for the new characters? I know I had upped some Hx for those around Sister Red.

Yeah, just Hx for Angelica (@SephirothSage).

SephirothSage said:
So. HX. Lets do this. Where do I do this?

Here's how it works on page 184:


NEW CHARACTERS’ HX


The new character will need Hx with everybody else and everybody else will need Hx with her. Here’s how:


- The player introduces her new character, by name, look and outlook.


- She goes through her Hx rules and makes all the requisite decisions — it’s her “your turn.”


- Everybody else takes a turn, but just tells her Hx-1 if their characters aren’t acquainted, Hx+1 if they are.


- Sum as normal, and ta da.


Use this procedure whenever someone creates a new character.


When a new player joins a game already underway, everybody else will have to introduce their characters too, naturally.





So, introduce yourself, Angelica, by name, look, and outlook, as normal.
 
In here? Alright!


Name: Angelica Walker, and don't ever Forget it!


Look: Well, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm a Female, and not at all ambiguous about it. Cept for the Cowboy Apparel, that might confuse some folks. I got a truly noble face, like an ancient lord from times long, long past and dead. My eyes have been referred to as "Eagle Eyes", most likely due to my pinpoint accuracy. Or maybe it's the part where they look like I'm looking into your soul and rummagin' for what's inside. I might Deign to add that I am /cut/. That is, I got me a good musculature, with lotsa scars on the lean, trim, fighting machine that is my body.


Outlook: The World's gone to hell. The Apocalypse came, and it isn't quite done yet. World's full of shitty people, but why /not/ try and be the exception to that rule? Just because the world's actively trying to kill us, doesn't mean we should all turn on each other to extend our meager lives. On the contrary, doesn't that mean we should band together, to make em richer, /and/ longer? Yeah. Yeah, that seem's real good to me. 8Grin*


As for HX:


One of you Bastard's has Ridden my Horse- with my permission, though, we where in a tight ass scrap back in that fight. Haven't seen you since, but gosh damn it's good to see you again. Hx +2. - Koch


One of you caught me lieing, one time, to a group I was guiding across the wastes- and you called me on it To. Now, that took some real Balls, and I respect that- but it pisses me off too. You scared the shit out of the rest of the group, when they didn't believe me about the harmlessness of them Scorpions anymore. Hx +2. -Claire


To the rest of yah? I'm not at all that sneaky, so I'm pretty well known. Hx +1.


Oh, and I've seen one of you at you're most vulnerable, but I do that during your turns. Hehe. Heh.

Call out who these people are. It'll go faster and make it more interesting. Then you can decide together how and what.
 
SephirothSage said:
I thought I did call out the people. Koch, Cl- Oh, you mean the players, right.
@DreamingofRoses @DeusExAlice . I HX'ed you in my Post.
Click to expand...
Oh no, you did. At the end. I missed it like an idiot. Sorry.


Now, EVERYONE, do this:


- Everybody else takes a turn, but just tells her Hx-1 if their characters aren’t acquainted, Hx+1 if they are.


Play threads soon.
 
I very much know her, took a spin on that thing. I...I felt dirty doing it truthfully, like I was cheating on Heckler during it. He forgave me eventually, I think he felt bad for crossing the line when he jammed in a firefight as payback and almost got me killed.


Edit: Ohwait, everyone else. Oops
 
We met. Maybe two years ago. You ran away from the group I was with. You could sense them, the strangeness, their kindness, the intrinsic danger. You fled. Probably the reason you are alive. Most people never sensed it until it was too late to get away. Hx +1.
 
I've created several threads. Jump into any that apply:


- Howl Itzahs is for those headed to meet the cult of the giant guns


- New Hardware is for those who wish to meet with the gun dealer for weapons


- Diplomacy is for those that wish to meet with the communities outside the holding


- Homefront is for everyone staying inside the holding and preparing
 
Query... where would you like me to be? I was thinking, wherever Alice is going to be as she has the biggest HX on me so far- speaking of which. Highlight one of my stats!
 
*Red Bean, she does. It's Read Bean. played by @Solyflair who has ended up with the most HX on me... Oh! And it's the Skinner, Claire, I've seen at her most Vulnerable. Thats a +3HX, and I ignore any HX she puts on me- it's a flat +3. @DreamingofRoses
 
Truthfully...I kinda wanna go to all the places...too many things too see, nowhere near enough bullets
 
Hm, kinda want Graves to negotiate, but he's more like to stay home and turtle up. So I'll ponder that and post in a while.

You'd best not be telling anyone about that if you don't want Joyeuse placed somewhere you won't like.


( ;) Welcome to the game)

Your choice. Where ever you'd like to fit. Go for it. If you need help, let me know.


Also, for my highlight, I'd like you to be HARD.

You know, I could take off the whole "next day" bit in each thread and we could make each time ambiguous. Shall I do that? Then you can just jump into any? Hooper (@Teh Frixz) already tied two of them together by saying the gun shop was on the way to the cult.


Never mind. I'm pulling that phrase off regardless. Feel free to jump into any. Just give a good reason and/or help me tie them together as we move forward. It may not even be an issue to resolve "time", but if it comes up, we'll work together to resolve it. That's how this game works anyway.
