Nexus OoC V: Suxen Eht Nioj!

[Moff Chumley]

AMEN doesn't have secrets. Its members might, but the last person you wanna trust is a card carrying villian...

[Maxios]

Good point. Plus, Maxios' only files include: 27 grocery lists, a picture of the Loch Ness Monster kissing Bigfoot, and the plans for a henchman railgun

[Moff Chumley]

Which only works within AMEN, and if you're a member.

[Maxios]

True. How he aquirred so many grocery lists is still a mystery to him. Also, he did find a file on how to shut off all power in the base.

IT'S A PLANT. [/Ackbar]

... I'm pretty sure copypasting text from the Wikipedia article on General Sherman doesn't count as posting political material, right?
It's not really supporting any one political side... I think...

I can, like, get rid of it and stuff... mostly I wanted to have someone write lots and lots of things on the Wall.

Bleh, I'm all paranoid now.
Whatever. It's nothing but silliness now.

Apparently the Confederate Army hid on the moon.

[ThePhantom]

Yes, HALO is finally doing stuff.
Now go back to saving the world, you boring, boring thing that's a thing and ohhh man it's a thing.
*waits until the Nexus economy is based on lesbians... HALO will be at least well-off*

What? Where did this happen?

[Beans]

Organization Wall Tag.
HALO tried to tag AMEN.
No tagbacks.

So nothing's really happening.

[Boo]

I read "tag" and thought you meant HALO was tagging AMEN on Facebook. Is this bad?

Also: I can no longer be indecisive.

Also Also: @Magpie: Niiiiiiice.

(He wasn't Exalted when the Moff de-magicized him. He stored his Exaltation in his book because he was confident he could win without it. And he's not entirely Exalted, he's kind of a prototype for his original universe's Exalts.)

Um...whaaat? I realize it's your character, but why are you even bothering to call it Exalt with a capital 'E' if it's something that totally different?

[ThirdEmperor]

Because it's the easiest way to explain. Essentialy he just lacks charms. However, if you take offence I'll refer to him as a Proto-Exalt from now on.

Proto-Exalt, like how Alchemicals canonically are the prototypes of Exalts?

I mean, Exalts only have two non-charm powers, right? Anima and being tough. And being hated by the Moff, but that's not really a power.

@V: That too.

[horngeek]

Further nitpick: Exaltation is bonded to the soul, only breakable by death, or the po soul no longer classifying as human.

...storing in book not possible.

[ThirdEmperor]

He's from a universe where the gods tried to copy the Exalted. Edgar was their first (failed) attempt.and I know, that's why I edited the post to explain it was his abilities (all two of them) he sealed away, not his actual Exaltation.

Stop picking at the giant holes in backstory!

[Recaiden]

Well, if you lay any claim to a common story or official universe and then don't follow it, it's noticeable.

But a sort of pseudoexalted, half-only, from a rather different universe, actually makes enough sense.

Though I still can't see any way it would allow him to make a scroll of teleportation.

[ThirdEmperor]

The scroll doesn't work, he was attempting to trick Moff with a over-compicated paln. It didn't work either.

[Gullara]

I'm sad, Nite really wanted to kill Prince

[ThirdEmperor]

Then rescue him so you can! Please?

[Recaiden]

I kind of like the idea of a character being trapped on the Road forever.
But then, this isn't mine...

[Gullara]

Then rescue him so you can! Please?

No dice, but if The Moff were to let Nite know about the imprisonment it might make him feel better

[ThirdEmperor]

I kind of like the idea of a character being trapped on the Road forever.
But then, this isn't mine...

Problem is he's trapped in one small area, so it's as good as permadeath and with less ways out. If he could get to the rest of the Road he'd just wait till Moff used it then stab him.

...Charity, don't start arguing about morality when you're talking about gods in Creation...

oh, wait. You've done it already. And to a No Moon.

{{Essentially, there is no meaning to a Good/Evil morality system in Exalted. At all. Part of what I like about the game.

Also, badmouthing a deity to a priest of the deity in question never ends well. }}

That said, I want Charity to encounter Long Tooth some time, because he'd be the best at answering that question.

There is totally meaning to it. Or there can be. Good and evil aren't absolutes like in D&D, say, but they still exist. People can still believe in them. There is still morality to actions, or no one would care that much of anything. I can't believe that all Exalted-related things are totally amoral.

Luna is a sneaky, treacherous thing. But loyal and protective too, and commits good and evil acts, at different times. The morality of being a literal god in its setting...totally relative. But it exists, in that relative context.

Besides, what's so bad that he's a No Moon, and not any old deist?

@EDIT: What question would that be?

[horngeek]

No Moons are priests of Luna.

The question would be 'what gives them the right to call themselves gods?'

Quite simple: they oversee something on a metaphysical level, so they're gods of that particular thing.

...well, Zamira or Meidani could do it, too.

[Recaiden]

Right, right. He'll get the hang of that 'priest' thing one of these days.

[happyturtle]

And Charity's answer would be that qualifies him to call himself an overseer, and entitles him to the obedience of underlings in the performance of his tasks, just as any other supervisor / employee relationship. But that it doesn't entitle him to worship or to obedience of anyone in areas outside that domain.

She's very militantly atheist, though she normally has better sense than to randomly engage in religious arguments. She wasn't at her best though after the ptsd flashback, and arguing helped get her out of it.

Magtok is still dead meat though, once she finds out it was him. Figuratively, of course. Militant pacifist as well as militant atheist.

[Ashen Lilies]

Killing ≠ Murder?
As far as I remember, Jazirian's shot a couple of soldiers, who were busy trying to kill everyone in GLoG. And hit an innocent bystander once, though only because Maralah purposefully deflected his fireball into said bystander.
...
That was a pretty bitchy move, actually.

Phoenix... I can't recall? Certainly while acting as Lucretia's mindslave, but I don't remember him killing anyone otherwise, though then again, he might well have. Kris' memory is fuzzy when it comes to Phoenix. He just keeps flip-flopping from your traditional smity paladin to ultra-pacifistic über-wimp, and back again. =(

Not trying to make a big deal of things, I'm just wondering if there are any holes in my memory that need fixing.

[Reinholdt]

Murder = What in KK's definition?

Jazirian never had to fend off his horde from adventurers or something?

Phoenix killed zombie Irene, though not even I count that one.
The vampire thing definitely works against him though.

@EDIT: What question would that be?

I think D&D is the only major RPG system that still clings to a black-and-white Good vs. Evil mortality system. So it's not that original.

[happyturtle]

I hope you aren't asking me to fill memory holes.

Sunny is very child like in a lot of ways, and children tend to see morality as black or white. Shades of gray and necessary killing are hard for her to judge.
