Sorry Raiko, I did get your character, I just didn't put your name down. It looks like I have received everyones...

I am going to start the IC thread(assuming I can pull my self away from City of Heroes), but before you jump to joy I need to let you in on some ground rules.

Post once a day if you can. Please no obscenities or profanity. The GM has the final say on everything, please no arguing with me about TNs or other crap.

I know there is something else... oh yeah, no posting IC till I give the all clear. I like to open with a short.
Fortune
And try to keep sigs out of the IC thread. wink.gif

Wait ....

Shadow, you play CoH?!?!?! eek.gif

Shadow, you play CoH?!?!?! eek.gif

I just got it yesterday, and oh boy it is fun. I am on Infinity server playing a character called Raven Cry.
Morgannah
Infinity, huh? Maybe I'll make a trip over there next time I manage to hijack my friend's computer.... If you ever make it to Virtue, though, look for Ms Permafrost and I'll run some wicked crowd control for you.
Digital Heroin
Finally kicked my brain into spending the last of that cash.

Regarding CoH... I played The Perfect Specime on Protector for a while, until I got sick of groups dropping out in the middle of a mission, and getting my ass kicked when I went solo. Fun game, still.
Morgannah
*nodsnods* I hear that! I've pretty much given up on grouping with anyone I don't know these days, even re-speced my controller for soloing (not all that easy a task). What ATs are you guys playing? I can help with char builds too, if anyone has any questions.
Digital Heroin
Not playing anymore... I'm considering MxO, since my computer meets the specs, but otherwise I'm staying away from MMORPGs.

PS was a Mutant Tanker, built to soak anything. Then all of his missions turned to magic foes, and he got torn to hell. I kind of lost my desire to play after my fifth cape quest went to pot.
Morgannah
Well .. damn. I'm sorry to hear that, DH. It's a good game, even if a lot of the players tend to be jerks (and on Virtue, they tend to be 'elitest roleplayer' jerks).

Good luck with MxO if you decide to invest. smile.gif
Whizbang
I've heard good things about City of Heroes, but I haven't had the time or money to invest in a game you have to pay to play. Used to play Neverwinter Nights, but it isn't as much fun when you don't have friends to play with, and all my friends are hooked on CoH now.
Ol' Scratch
Bah. I'm too much of a bitter old man to handle any type of MMORPG. I'd lose it the first time one of those [CENSORED] irked the living [CENSORED] out of me. They need to start making more cool games targeted at grumpy curmudgeony hermits like myself, [CENSORED]! <rattles his cane in the air dramatically> [CENSORED] [BEEP] [CENSORED]

But who knows. 400 Karma/20,000,000¥ Shadowrun characters come pretty gosh-darn close to being more than your mild-mannered shadowrruner, so I might just get my superhero fix here. biggrin.gif
Digital Heroin
I miss the days of playing Ultima Online on a free server run by a guy who stole the code from the company, but couldn't get charged because he lived in another country and never set foot in the US to make the steal.
Shadow
Post away.
Tanka
I keep checking back here because my mind doesn't believe that you did say to go ahead and post.

I swear, I'm only halfway insane. silly.gif
Shadow
I didn't want to vomit a bunch of info in the IC post. So I will show it to you here.

The meeting is in Downtown Seattle. It has come to you by your most trusted contact. Apparently some very rich people are looking for your special talents. They only want the best. Posers need not apply. Everyone must come in person, and bring whatever precautions they need to bring to feel safe.


Once everyone has posted, or Wednesday morning rolls around, we will move on to the meet.
Morgannah
AACK! Chores .. that'll have to do for now, post-wise, but I'll elaborate as soon as I manage to wrestle the computer away from my uncle/sister/aunt/mom.

Dinner with family is always such a hassle. biggrin.gif
Shadow
Loved your post Morg! Now everyone else!
Digital Heroin
Can you believe I spent so long on cash spending, and didn't buy a katana... grr...
Ol' Scratch
BWAHAHAHAHA! Err, ahem, that's not <snicker> funny.
Fortune
It tickles my funny bone. biggrin.gif

Posting soon ... I had one done, but the power died here and I have to reconstruct it ... frown.gif
Shadow
The month is November, year, 2064. The meeting is at 10 am.
Digital Heroin
Also forgot a normal pistol, and street armor. Hence the 'naked' meet.
Ol' Scratch
That's pretty sad, man. smile.gif

I'll hopefully be posting sometime tonight. Sorry for taking so long, I'm just having a hell of a time coming up with this first post. I swear, my hair is going to go grey prematurely not because of work-related stress, but because of my roleplaying hobby. Oy!
Fortune
I find it humorous how much the Doc and I have in common on occasion. eek.gif

Getting there ... smile.gif
Sabosect
I won't be posting until tomorrow. Busy with Thanksgiving stuff.
Digital Heroin
You know, it's not altogether unsuprising I forgot normal stuff for my character... I mean, I can't find my pants RL-wise....
Morgannah
QUOTE (Digital Heroin)

I hate it when that happens .... (And I'm absolutely NOT kidding .. been there too many times to count.)

I've forgotten a couple of things as well, dagnabbit. All the more reason to take this run, I guess. wink.gif

Now, Shadow, is the meet still scheduled for today or will our deadline be extended in light of, ahh, recent events?
Fortune

Uhm yeah, because of the boards untimly demises, and the fact that several of the players emailed me about Holliday departures, were going to delay the meeting until Monday frown.gif

You mean like yesterday? I tried my best for two hours to get on here.

Okay, time for my post here.

Frag! I just found a problem in my character that will effectively make an entire part of him useless. Shadow, I will need to make a couple of alterations. I'll send them to you by email.
Shadow
I know its the hollidays but I would like everyone to get there intro posts in as soon as possible.
Shadow
Just a friendly reminder: Harsh penalties will be sanctioned against people who have sigs in the IC thread.... Harsh penalties.

Spellcasting (if you care! wink.gif)

[ Spoiler ]
Tanka
*gawk, sputter, cough, spit, jawdrop*

Yay for 13 dice in Spellcasting. I didn't come close to hitting that high in any skill. Granted, half of my karma went to money and the other half to increasing various Attributes and several Skills instead of just one or two.

Ah, well. Good thing I'm not a front-runner when it comes to killing things! biggrin.gif
Ol' Scratch
Think that's bad? Wait'll you see how disgusting my conjuring is. biggrin.gif
Fortune
I have no doubt. I could have gone higher, but there are always other choices. smile.gif

I figure I didn't need to use a Focus to cast those. biggrin.gif

Although, I probably would if I needed to cast multiple Fix spells in rapid succession.
Morgannah
Tossing off a mere 22 dice for a Makeover spell?!

How am I the vain one again? wobble.gif

Doc: I'd like to see those rolls. grinbig.gif
Ol' Scratch
If I ever finish my next post, you probably will. wink.gif It just sucks that we poor conjurers don't have any pool to use. It's so not fair. <pouts a bit>
Fortune
That is actually a drag at some times. I guess they figured the addition would result in too many services per attempt.

You poor, poor soul .... sarcastic.gif

*brings out a plate of cookies*

I'm sure your 400 MILLION dice will be more than adequate, you crazy conjuring types. wink.gif
Ol' Scratch
There's never too many services. Or more correctly, there's never enough. biggrin.gif

EDIT:

Hey, it's only 350 million dice, thank you. Well, 360 if I do a little dance first.
Morgannah
Ooooooh.

So hurry up and post, already! grinbig.gif
Ol' Scratch
You can't rush art, baby. With "art" defined as "totally sucky writing" for purposes of this discussion.
Morgannah
"Don't call me baby."

nyahnyah.gif LOL, no worries, then. I suppose it's worth waiting for.... ohplease.gif
Ol' Scratch
Ah ha! <quietly adds a note to his Book of Pet Peeves, this one added right below tanka's knee-jerk stabbing reaction ot lame Mastercard commercials> My master plan to annoy the world to death is one step closer. Mouhahaha...
Tanka
Noooooooooo!

I shall use my team of Ninja to hunt you down and burn that vile book, then spit on you in your sleep!
Morgannah
....

Shut up! *pouts and goes back to some of those last-minute modifications*
