I propose starting off every new OOC thread page with an Exalted related picture.


In other news: From the admin.

It looks like the issues I was having are fixed. I don't expect any more substantial downtime in the near future. Of course, I've just jinxed myself by saying this...

I know there are repeat posts on the group thread. However, I tried to delete had to undo as it nixed more than I intended. I'll try again later.

It seems like the last two posts of page 1 are stuck on page 2, now. I have no idea how to fix that. Rillard, would you please move your post to be after mine when you edit it?
 
A thread I found on RPG.net:


999 dirty Gm tricks


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Let's list stupid/wrong things a GM can do to piss off his/her players.


1) Increasing the number of foes by the Fibonacci Sequence


2) Reversing the Fibonacci Sequence to start with a huge number and end with one enemy


3) increasing enemy encounters by a power of ten every session.


3A) Corollary: The above are acceptable if you are playing Exalted.


4) Sawing down one of the legs of the table just enough to make the player's side unlevel.


5) Using a shoe buffer to make the dice always land on 20.

Rillard, this scene is for the sole purpose of getting you in the same room to experience the Oath spell. Hopefully this will start the Circle off with some variation such as Balthazar hiring you and Noisy Cricket as sailor and cook respectively, but I don't really know how you'll all decide to be a party. Play your characters truthfully, I trust they're curious enough about arcane connections to find an excuse to be in each other's company for a least a little while to work on the mystery.

Just to clarify, I don't know if fluff has some negative connotation to it. I'm just saying I have no problems with not having dice rolls and continuing to role play.
 
Fluff has a positive connotation when it's not being used to mean 'slow gameplay'. I must have thought you meant that by the looks of my response.


I'm hoping by revealing the purpose of the scene that I have a point at which I will end it and move to the next scene and we won't be shooting the shit in the Four Winds Tavern in February.


That said I'm having wonderful fun in the Four Winds Tavern.
 
I figured I would post a picture of Toku Saru.


Also, I'm wondering if anyone has looked up his name yet. >.>

Hey Tik, did Charles mention that I'll be gone for a week and a half starting next friday? Cuz if you thought my posting was slow already, it might get worse once I'm back in WA and surrounded by famliy *L*. I will however try to check it everyday, but it might be really early AM or PM. Just thought I'd give ya a heads up.
 
As a statistician with a (currently) slow job I may or may not have had the time to go take several time points of the forums, calculated the average post rate per day, and average rate difference for the other games on the forums, and then extrapolate the date at which our game will eclipse the other games.


Needless to say our average posts per day is amazing, and we'll be in 4th place by summer at this rate (and the top spot is only a year out! =D).


What I'm really trying to say is that you guys are doing inconceivably awesome in both rate of posting and quality of posts and I wanted to make a post congratulating you on it. Keep posting daily!
 
Writing up a post right now; girlfriend + snow + WoW got to me last night.


Apologies.


Also, I was completely incorrect about how Talismans work. As per the Core rulebook, warding talismans cause the offender to lose 1 to 3 dice on all rolls to affect the holder of the talisman. I'm assuming, however, that we're rolling with the definition in the house rules where Talismans instead add to the holder's DV. Does this work for MDV as well?
 
Sorry, work got ridiculous, I just got home and I'm goin out tonight. I'll have a post in late tonight


EDIT: No work, Pbp!<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2009_03/motivator8044661.jpg.2a7347a8af8ac22bd272f6540054dcab.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="23457" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2009_03/motivator8044661.jpg.2a7347a8af8ac22bd272f6540054dcab.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

Forgiven on both counts. Talismans will add to the pool that calculates DV just as much as Core says they should take away. In most cases this will result in the bonus being halfed before adding to DV. Yes it does work for MDV as well.
 
Just want to make sure everybody's clear on penalties, they can be confusing:


-x internal penalty means you lose dice before you roll them. Multiple action penalties are internal penalties.


-x external penalty means you lose successes after you've rolled the dice. There have been several examples in play already. It basically means the task is harder due to external circumstances.
 
Rillard, Noisy Cricket, Balthazar and Isomaru, please look at the picture on the second page of Balthazar's thread (the docks description). Your characters know this information.


Winter Breeze, I don't believe you've spent much time in Gateway proper, so you don't in character know this information.

I don't particularly think it's a problem for the older charisma 5 solar to be driving. Have no fear, I take charge when I feel like it ;)
 
Good to know. If/when it gets to be too much, just grab the reigns. I'll be more than happy to yes-and while you call the tune.
