[Nexus] OoC III: May Contain Nuts

[happyturtle]

Yay Uncle Wolfy!

In equally unrelated, though less exciting news, the Trickster rabbit who is tampering with drinks is the lead up to an upcoming minor event of much silliness that will be open to everyone.

[Project_Mayhem]

Oh Good :D

[Darkcomet]

Except, as I said, continuing it after that will be distinctly Not Fun. Nice to see you're still ignoring most of what I'm saying.

And I don't recall that issue ever being cleared up. All that we discussed, according to my memory of it, consisted of you not knowing the cyborgs existed before. Not much else.

And even if you think I'm acting a certain way, there are better and more subtle ways to go about informing me of it than blatant insults.

Insults which, incidentally, are only digging you a deeper grave with regards to trying to salvage this trainwreck.

Final Form Ride: S-S-S-S-SUBJECT CHANGE!!!

I've been wondering where the Shin Megami Tensei franchise fits in cosmology-wise, if it even exists.

[Lord Iames Osari]

The size of the explosion was cleared up very quickly, as I recall.
However, now I see I'm accused of not just ignoring you IC but OOC as well? What am I ignoring now, DC? I just apologized for ignoring the explosion IC. Here, I'll even quote where I did it.

I apologize for not explicitly saying that Shanghai evaded the explosion.

That was your given problem. Nobody else ignored the explosions, it was all me, and I apologized right there in black and white. Now you're shifting the goalposts to justify your continued anger.

If you're referring to my lack of response to your response to my 4 points, then I can only say that I thought Shrimp's response covered that pretty well, and I didn't want to risk making you more mad, since you always feel like you're being persecuted and targeted by everybody else. So I apologize for trying not to piss you off - but I guess that's a meaningless apology, since from what I can tell you really like being pissed off, seeing as how you're pissed off a good majority of the time. So since I can't win (I'm either ganging up on you or ignoring you), here's my response to your four counterpoints:

You didn't respond to the explosion at all, hence ignoring. But since you see it fit to list reasons, here are my counters, put briefly:

1. I used them before. Not my fault you didn't see that.
2. Yet they can be killed, as has been demonstrated. Moff didn't have that hard a time.
3. I did give you an out. I don't care if getting away in that short a time is unrealistic. It's just rather irritating when you don't get any response.
4. Note the cyborgs that cloaked. Gee, I wonder who could've taken those weapons...

1.

any one of those things is reasonable by itself

2.

or even in combination with one of the others

3. I explained the way that post resulted from a misunderstanding and my reasoning for not editing.
4. You mean these cyborgs -

The two quite living cyborgs vanish, cloaking. That combined with the darkness will make it quite difficult to track them. Wonder what's going on...?

Either way, it seems they've avoided the knives. And it might be noted that the two dead cyborgs' scatterguns are gone.

- who cloaked in the middle of the drop bay and were suddenly able to undetectably snatch the dropped scatterguns in the entry hall two lines later in the same post without anybody being able to detect them doing it? Yes, that's very fair.

Iames, care to tone it down a bit? I'm not saying your point is invalid, and I'm just as frustrated with this situation as you, but flaming isn't gonna accomplish anything whatsoever. DC, I understand if you don't want to carry on with this. All I'm requesting is some form of offscreen resolution that isn't an insult to my/our characters. Is that acceptable?

Moff: Petty spite? It is less petty spite and more the fact that if everything I do gets ignored to death, then there's no point in even bothering posting.

Sorry, poor word choice. Especially given what went on after it. Ignore that comment.

I honestly haven't noticed anyone treating Ilyena as comic relief. KR and DC are always mildly annoyed at everyone. That said, if you feel he should leave, noone will stop you. No real idea where he might end up, though. And characters not accomplishing anything isn't restricted to your characters, IMO. Seriously, how many times has NO actually managed to get something done?

Again, I worded that poorly. It's not that Ilyena is percieved as comic relief, it's just that I felt he wasn't being taken as seriously as I was trying to play him. Honestly, it's not a big deal.

We're totally getting that burning sword.

HA! Ah hahahah. Heh. Right, that'll happen...

[Project_Mayhem]

We have stuff to trade now :D

Post toned down, thanks to Happy's intervention. An offscreen resolution is acceptable to me. Otherwise we'd just be stuck in deadtime forever, and I imagine none of us want that to happen.

[Darkcomet]

So...I suppose I have to ask.

This looks like I might essentially be choosing between 'get people angrier with me' and 'they get it' as far as an offscreen resolution goes. I hope I'm wrong...?

What if... they got the blueprints or schematics?

That wouldn't be giving them the ship directly, but still rewarding them for their effort.

Doesn't have to be an all or nothing deal.

[Moff Chumley]

Not at all. Say... The Moff sneaks around the ship for a while, and then is discovered somehow. He heroically fights his way back to Shanghai's ship, and something explodes, causing mild cosmetic damage and providing a cool backdrop for the ship to escape, being persued by a handful of flying cyborgs, picked off one by one by The Moff and Shanghai's crew?

I dunno. I guess that way, you hang on to the ship, and everyone else gets to feel kinda badass, and swears vengeance?

[Lord Iames Osari]

Or a combination of the two? /not quite out the door yet

[Reinholdt]

Awww...
*pets the kitty*
*whispers apocalyptic mutterings into it's ear*
Join us...

[InyutheBeatIs]

Awww...

Hope you get better soon man. *thumbs up*

[Moff Chumley]

Feel better, BR. We need more lulz at the moment.

[Murkus]

Aw, poor BR.

Aw, Moff, don't leave.

Aw, arguments.

Christ, you miss a lot in a day around here.

[VampireRot]

Aw, poor BR.

Aw, Moff, don't leave.

Aw, arguments.

Christ, you miss a lot in a day around here.

"Your hat is ready, kind sir."

[Darkcomet]

Hm...what about this? Combine Moff's thing with a limited set of schematics lacking in the department of the stealth systems, engines, and weapons. The idea is that AMEN will have to fill in the tech gaps themselves (would certainly give Magtok something to do) while still getting something of a base for it.

[The Bushranger]

Thanks all. I'm alright, just had a rather "/RAGEQUIT LIFE"-y evening, and when coming here to unwind, found all this. Was...rather distressing.

Off to watch the football game for a bit. Will probably feel rather better afterwards.

For now, though I give you, for cheering-uppers, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Daleks.

No objections. Besides, The Moff wouldn't even know what to look for when it came to schematics.

Hah! I don't watch Dr. Who, but that was a good laugh anyway.

[InyutheBeatIs]

@Bushranger: Aww...I know what you're feeling. Hope you feel good soon.

I've been wondering where the Shin Megami Tensei franchise fits in cosmology-wise, if it even exists.

No comments on this?

[happyturtle]

Whatever it is, it exists if anyone plays a character from that world, and doesn't exist otherwise.

[UncleWolf]

The demon hunters better not hurt Fluffy's pixie mother.

Good luck with the Megaten idea. I think it'd be a neat addition. Which one would you be thinking of?

Demon hunters? Mummy? Where is this?

Well, I think my main focus would be on Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne for now, although I was also wondering whether the others could have a place in the Nexus. I was considering it for upgrades for the most part, as I'm a bit stretched character-wise.

My main concern was the potentially controversial nature of the "demons" throughout the Megaten series and spin-offs.

[happyturtle]

Maybe you should explain what you think might be controversial. There's no way most of us are going to read that wiki.

This.

Four or more Japanese/big and foreign words in the title really makes me fear a show. Don't know why, just don't like em.
