Well of course. Everyone knows that anything not nailed to the ground belongs to the hero. (That's you!) You'll just take this, not like anyone's using it. I mean, why would they even put it in a chest if they didn't mean for you specifically to come in here and grab it? That's quite considerate of them, actually.

Let's see... a CLEAR CLEAVER, a pair of DYNAMO DERRINGERS, a TREE THRASHER, a suit of PLATED PLAIT, and a REVOLVING REVOLVER. Looks like you can't use most of that, but you suppose you can sell it off later or whatever you do with...er, "minor loot" in this game.

> SM: Don FORESHADOWED ARMOR.

Alright, let's analyze this loot.
Clear Clever: Might as well just ad this to our ever growing collection of swords, it's not the greatest sword out there, but it's probably pretty good.
Dynamo Derringers: Get these to BH as soon as you can. Duel wielding pistols gives you lots of good ways to build up Action points.
Tree Thrasher: Maybe Reginald can use it? Otherwise, just hang onto it.
Plated Plait: Is this Armor? It's probably an upgrade to whatever your currently wearing, so you might as well hang onto it.
Revolving Revolver: Though BH could use this, she'll get more out of the Dynamo Derringers. Give this to MG, she can use it to make a Gearbox Gunslinger.
Say, some of those inventory items have a little Plus in the corner, what does that indicate?

who the heck is Reginald?

Reginald Caddybear.

Actually, I don't think the Clear Cleaver counts as a sword. It's inventory icon looks more like an axe of some sort, and it's got a big "X" through it, indicating SM can't equip it.

No, that's the Tree Thrasher.

thats the Tree Thrasher. the Clear Cleaver is the thing two slots to the left

Ah. Makes sense, then. Still, when I think of "cleaver," I generally think of a meat cleaver, so you can't blame me for randomly guessing.

That's a lie. When I think "cleaver," I really think of that DKC 2 boss.

Eh, I'm probably to blame for that. Ever since I introduced the terms "Action Agent" and "Suave Spy", apparently all GenGame Mechanics needs to be Alliterative.

Maybe you could put images up on Photobucket or something like that until your main site's back up?

>Matey, what you can't see can still kill you, examine off screen blindness.


>Kill they Pranking Pirate that screwed up those commands

Egad! If I do not miss my guess, SM is wearing the Plated Plait in the wallpaper uploaded a wee bit back. This is preplanned looting!

I'd prefer to avoid that, as photobucket is highly unreliable. I thought i had the site back up today, but noooo... it has to be unreasonable and endlessly load something. Time for some new site software to get hold of that, i'd say. :smallannoyed:

Host off imageshack while you get things sorted out?

Edit: Ah, we just covered this. Never mind then.

The server issues continue to occur and the weekend has arrived. This may be on hold until monday. Maybe not. I can't tell what's wrong with it. :smallannoyed:

>Domo - Realize the servers seem to be working again.

Mmm, you really love those foreshadows, they really make the PLAITS stand out. It's amazing how much graphics have improved. I mean, 50 years ago they didn't even have quad grafting! Not that you actually know what that means, but it sure sounds like it makes things look cooler.

Well, it's a bit brighter now, but there's really not all that much in here. It just feels...empty. Also very quiet. Shouldn't there be spooky background music or something? Or at least some floorboards creaking or water dripping or heavy breathing. You'd feel much better if there was some nice dark whisperings going on.

For your amazing speed in defeating the mighty SERVANT of the LORD OF SHADOWS, you've earned a GREATER REWARD!

A SACRIFICIAL SCYTHE and a AUGUST AEGIS? How worthless.

For your great cunning and bravery in defeating this mighty SERVANT of the LORD OF SHADOWS, you have earned an EVEN GREATER REWARD!

A SERPENTIS SHANK and an AUTOMATIC KILLGUN. You're not even sure if BH or MG can use either of those.

> GenGame: Continue

>Now get the hell out of dodge before this unearned reward bites you in the ass.

>Servant of Lord of Shadows: Appearify.

:smallbiggrin: Some of my commands have been used! My life is now complete!

Let's see if lightning strikes twice...

> SHADOWEGG: HATCH, revealing a mighty SERVANT of the LORD OF SHADOWS.

CB: Light that last torch, you lazy bum!

SM: Make for that door opening in the bottom right to see what boss you skipped getting all this PHAT LOOT.

>SM: is that a balcony? look for a STAIRCASE

>SM: go ahead and TOUCH the ORB again to face HUGE ARSE MOB OF SHADOWBEARS

>SM: LOOT PARTAYYY!!!

>CB: Politely ask SM if you may wield the SERPENTIS SHANK and the AUGUST AEGIS. May as well be able to defend yourself so your mistress needent bother herself in defending you!

or mabe CB should ask for the SICKLE. IDK.

(Deep, booming voice) Out of the mobs he came, and into them he will go. Let the CADDYBEAR charge into the masses, slaying all with his KILLGUN! (cleverly disguised as a golfbag)

> GenGame: LEVEL UP all enemies in the region to match this player's inexplicably vast power!

> SM: CRAFT your loot.

The Shank seems like something BH can use. The Killgun would be a nice weapon to put on a Clockwork Construct.

We still arn't entirely sure what class SM is, so we don't know what type of minion Reginald Caddybear is.
If, for example, he's a Squire, then he can use the same weapon types that we use, primarily swords. If he's a minion, he'll have to stick to his natural attacks (Which we can upgrade). If he's a Follower, he's just there for support, and probably can't attack at all. He's probably not a Bodyguard or Honor Guard, since those tend to attach themselves to Support Casters or Leadership based classes.
Personally, I think he's currently a Servant, but we could easily designate him a Lieutenant. Normally, by this point our Mechanofortress would have provided us with some minions, and we would have spawned three Lieutenant's (One for each player on our team), and the type of Lieutenants we picked would have indicated what types of minions our Mechanofortress built. More Lieutenant's would need to be created either by capturing Keeps, or increasing our Renown.
However, since we never spawned our Lieutenant, we can designate Reginald Caddybear as if we'd gained enough Renown to designate (In fact, some people intentionally hold off on spawning their Lieutenant, instead picking up a Servant, Squire, or Follower in one of their lands, and designating them, though this cuts down the types of troops your mechanofortress can create, so few people do it).

Technically, we don't have any troops for him to lead yet, but he can still be useful in combat.
At least I think, this is mainly fuzzy memories from the brief period where I played Warlords/briefly skimming Genguide.

I say
SM: Exercise your Second Amendment Right to Arm Bears, declare CB your Lieutenant and give him the Automatic Killgun.

I can hear you talking "But BRC, shouldn't we give him a Melee Weapon so he can become an Ursaknight!" I respond NO!
You see, Shadowbears have both the Bear and Shadowed subtype. If a team includes a Spy, then any Shadowed minions they have become capable of using Stealth (Even if they can't use it very well, what's important here is that they have the ability). A Bear subtype lieutenant who wields Firearms and is capable of using Stealth (once again, it dosn't matter if they are so bad at it that pretty much anything could see through them, they just need it), means we can gain a very rare, and very effective type of Minion, the Green Bearet.
