DM themed play-by-post D&D game : OOC thread

[Ameena]

Ohh yeah lol, I'd been meaning to say "Woo, 100 pages!" or similar since this page first started, but I kept forgetting .

[oh_brother]

And you just missed your chance, we are now on page 101.

What is this about melting Deephold to the floor? He's no good to me dead. I have not read the IC thread for a bit, it might be time to catch up!

[beowuuf]

Not to fear, the party are just walking through a berautiful underground area with a beautiful river and some beautiful plants and beautiful grass and some beautiful wildlife and, oh yes, Chaos's power is causing flora and fauna to bleed together. No biggie.

So yeah, Deephold used some magic and now his boots have started to bleed in to the ground, and vice versa. Luckily, some quick work means his feet are fine Deephold'#s trying to fill in for you, but without the uber-heal ability, kick ass turning, and silver tongue, he's a pale substitute. I can't wait to actually get you guys together again! Or, you know, kill you all. Both are acceptable...

[beowuuf]

Oh, and Ian, when did you get over 2000 posts and become a High Lord? Congrats!

[ian_scho]

2000 posts but very little content added
I really am just one of those people that seem to be always there, every day, when you go down your local bar.

[beowuuf]

Lol, I think you need more posts to hit the 'part pf the furniture' post count

And bollocks, most of your Haynuus posts are a work of genius. Or a madman. Hard to tell, really.

[raixel]

Lol, I think you need more posts to hit the 'part pf the furniture' post count

Says the guy with 17000(!) posts.

[beowuuf]

Long since passed that rank :p I am probably the peeling paint on all the walls by now

[Ameena]

Bloody hell, over 17k posts?!?! I never really look at people's info on the left side of the screen, just the avatar (or occasionally the username) to see whose post it is I'm reading. I didn't know you'd made quite so many...wow that's pretty cool .

[beowuuf]

That's one word for it!

[ian_scho]

And imagine if Beo was someone like.... kentaro, I think that's it. Every time this guy posts he has an update or a bug fix. He's probably only got about 150 posts but mucho respeto!

[beowuuf]

Exact- ...wait a second...

[raixel]

Someone comment on my glitteryness so i can notice it!

[beowuuf]

Lol, Ameena did in her first post

"Um...Petal..." she says, diverting herself from her previous train of thought. "Is that...have you gone sort of...sparkly? It's like lots of little stars from the night sky have all sort of...attached themselves to you. It's quite pretty...but..."

[raixel]

Ahh, yes. Hitting refresh on a browser is a good idea if you fall asleep with it open. Actually, I realized that didnt matter because i had it set to page 84, so no matter how many times I refreshed, it didnt add any new posts, which were on page 85. Now dont I feel SMERT

[beowuuf]

At least you don't open webpages before your router has restarted, and wonder why you have a 'new' post that you can't get to load!

[beowuuf]

By the way, you guys in the main thread have a gift from OB. Westian prayed for the other group's safety, which narratively would have timed probably around about Ameena and the stone. So Westian helped Ameena get well, even a little bit! Meta-game wise, that means you guys can snag a +1 bonus to the next roll you think is important. I'll even let you retcon which roll that is, after you rolled it.

[ian_scho]

Nice work Mister Westian! I can feel a handy boon coming along real soon.

[beowuuf]

The count down to a yeah and a half is already started to tick away! Technically, it's been ticking away since you started, but you guys know what I mean, right?

Anyway, as a 'woohoo' for the year and a half, and as we slowly but surely gather momentum for a gigantic show down (hmm, better play that one down), feel free to ask for any one plot point you wish to have come up and be resolved at the end. Anything trailing that you fear won't be addressed? Anything personal you want to be added for your character's sake?

Ask away!

[Ameena]

How do you mean? Do you mean stuff that's happened earlier which hasn't been resolved or that we're just generally wondering about and want explained, or do you mean extra stuff we might want to happen just because it's cool or something?

[ian_scho]

Oitu. Haynuus needs one for his screamer farming. Try and work that one into the plot!

[beowuuf]

@Ameena: Yeah, if there's a plot point you wanted revised, or if there's somethign extra you wanted to happen for your character.

@Ian: Oitu. Got it.

[raixel]

Ok. Mad confusion about this bank issue.

Ok, so theres like a channel comin off diagonally from the main river and it goes into an overhanging rock ledge thing. Right?! I would draw a symle ANSI map of whats in my head, but I remember trying to draw a simple ANSI map for a room in Petal's prologue game and it didnt come out cuz of the way BBCode works. Or something. So, I'm imagining something kinda like the japanese kana "to" (if you know what that is), but mirror imaged. And the swan-things are across the main bank from us, and the channel is in front of us, and its also the thing the floating swan-thing floated down and had to duck under the rock overhang.

Is that even close? I left Petals edited remarks purpousfully vague, cuz I thought I got it, based on what Ameena and beo said, untilbeo corrected Ameena. Now im confused again.

[raixel]

Oh and about plot points. If it diesnt get resolved in this game, it might later *hint hint hint hint ... nevermind*

[Ameena]

Hmm, stuff I might want for my character...well, I can't think of anything "uber-special" I want to happen, but I would like to find that Helm is okay and doesn't think Ameena abandoned him and so hate her for it - she'd feel so guilty and horrible if she found he was dead/really badly injured and/or if he wouldn't listen to her explanation of what happened, despite how far-fetched it must sound. Anyway, he's a thief, and if he's been in Soorec's little area of the dungeon (maybe the soldiers took him there, or something), he might have managed to get some kind of look around and notice things that might possibly be quite important .

[beowuuf]

Lol, sorry I mixed everything up. Ameena had it dead on, except the direction of flow of the channel you guys have come to. The channel is going through the wall, though there is an oversized opening it is flowing through, so the swan creature can swim through ok, (it just had to duck a little sicne its neck is that long) and you guys could probably scramble alone one of the sides and go throug hthe wall if you really wanted and ducked yourselves

So sounds like you guys get the basic gist of it.

[Ameena]

I'm pretty sure Ameena wouldn't need to duck, somehow .

[beowuuf]

Too true

[raixel]

Just letting you guys know, I am having net issues. I have a modem that runs off cellphone towers. Its the cheapest service in Seattle, for broadband. Prob is, there are 5 green lights on the top of said modem that tll you the strength of your connection. I *always* have 5, maybe 4 for like 30 secs. This gives me a connection speed of around 700K/sec. Today when I got home from work there was 1. This gives me a connection speed of about 30k/sec, and the signal is weak enough that it wont stay connected for very long. I dicked with it for like 4 hrs and got it up to two bars by HANGING IT OUT THE WINDOW OF MY APT WHILE I TYPE THIS, where it is jovially swinging in the breeze. Anyway, im hoping its a temp issue and they will have it fixed soon.

Even yelling *there are 5 lights!* at it didnt seem to help

[ian_scho]

Blimey. Sounds like you need someone from the guild of wizards to help with your connectivity issues. Good luck!
