Nexus OoC V: Suxen Eht Nioj!

[Reinholdt]

ION: I find it funny how other settings, to differentiate themselves from Nexus, point out that they don't have sniper kitties

Teehee.

TekTek has failed me once again. I'm having trouble finding boots that could pass as red dragonscale...
...
I have no idea how KR is going to react, actually. >.<

Yeah. What I just said there. ^

[Haruki-kun]

Alex pauses for another long time, and shakes it's head.

No, I do not wish to pay either of those prices. I do not wish to exchange one lack of control for another. I apologize for wasting your time.

Oh, noes. I got rejected.

[Gullara]

Sorry man - I'm busy as it is atm, and don't have good computer access right now.

No problem. Nite never had anything to urgent to get too.

I have to warn you though, after Friday morning I won't have internet access until Sunday night.

[Morty]

Obviously, Wenomir also needs to buy KR a gift. A hat, maybe?
Anyway, I gave some thought to the goblin colony plot and while I still need to ask Rabbit about whether it can be located near Glass Citadel, I know that the first stage of the plot will be a monster hunt. Several characters will delve into the cave complex in the mountain to slay monsters there and make the caves safe for goblins. The goblins will obviously come to NO looking for people who'd do it, but all characters are welcome, especiallly since NO doesn't really have members specialized in this kind of thing. It'd be a perfect opportunity for a witcher character to shine, if there were any.

[Gullara]

So how does plot cloning work exactly?

Wenomir lost his chance to buy anyone a hat when he refused to get one on Cal's world.

Probably better off with the MagCave I'm reasonably sure that locating it near the Glass Citadel is just asking for repeated undead invasions culling the goblin population. I'd like to say I'm kidding too...

Basically, if your character is involved in a plot but you want him or her to appear somewhere else at the same time, it's called a "plot clone".

Well, he might always notice a bowler hat at Cecily's shop, you know.

Well, maybe. That's one of the things I'll have to ask Rabbit when I get around to writing that PM. Some rivalry would be neat and keep the plot from being boring, but too much might not be fun.

[happyturtle]

Indeed, human right now. And Murkus is deadtimed it seems.

"I get the itching feeling in the back of my head that somewhere, someplace else, a bunch of people are fighting over treasure at this very moment."
...
"Granted, that's probably happening all the time."
*shrugs*

How long has it been since Reinholdt has actually hunted for some treasure?

Also, as far as I can tell, he's decided Watchtower = Worse than AMEN because Jeremy tried to kill him. Does he have any reason other than that?

Just a week or two ago when he worked on digging up his old rifle.

Of course he's got other reasons. In addition to his already tenuous relationship with Watchtower to begin with (they did capture him and tie him down and interrogate him after all), he heard that Watchtower was attacking Magtok for no reason other than kicks. It's a very poor way to treat one's allies.

[happyturtle]

To be fair, Magtok attacked Watchtower for kicks before. It's almost like a courtship ritual.

So if you cancel that out, then basically the only thing Reinholdt has is 'they were mean to me'. It takes a real narcissist to decide that is worse than the mass murder AMEN engages in.

You don't cancel things out. You stoop to a lower level. And you can believe that only if you choose to absolutely ignore the fact that it was Reinholdt speaking. I would have imagined you'd realize by now what comes out of his mouth is generally far from the truth. And if you were paying attention, he was clearly trying to get a rise out of Wenomir. He was prepared to throw water on him for no reason after all.

Of course, I'm kinda tired of you overanalyzing and second-guessing my characters all the time too. If you want to insult Reinholdt OOC, do it in big chat.

[happyturtle]

I thought his opinions on that were stated in narrative text as well, not just dialogue. But, um, this is the ooc thread. OOC stuff gets talked about here. And HT the player is allowed to have opinions about Reinholdt the character.

[Darkcomet]

Well, Reinholdt, you've kinda encouraged such analysis and second-guessing in the past.

*looks at the sheer amount of stuff that ended up being tools of Calublufiok, etc*

Also, oddly enough, DC wouldn't have approved of randomly attacking Magtok. Good thing no one told him.

Of course, he'll probably find out eventually.

Assuming the 'get rid of most everything DC-the-player has' plan of Gordon's doesn't get him.

You are of course.
It's just far less fun for me to play with you when you do stuff like this.

You personally once told me that like that indicates how much more knowledgeable of the subject you were. And how incredibly smug and insulting it is. Think about that.

And you don't even want to get me analyzing and second-guessing YOUR characters DC. That'd only end very badly.

[happyturtle]

*thinks about it* Nope, pretty sure I never said that is 'incredibly smug and insulting'. I probably said it could come across that way in some contexts.

But if you don't want to roleplay with me, then don't. *shrug*

In certain contexts, yes. Of course, you would never use it in those contexts, would you?

The thing is, I wasn't even RPing with you and you managed to throw a damper on things anyways. Which is why I asked you to keep it in big chat. If it was just something we were RPing together, sure I'd stop.

[Terumitsu]

So how does plot cloning work exactly?

It's where you have a separate instance of your character in a different thread. I personally don't do it but others do. It's so you can play your character across multiple threads.

Seriously, all of you pointing out faults and not giving the time of day to a person who asks... Sheesh.. *Wears a silly top hat and unicycles around to prove how serious the statement was.*

[happyturtle]

Sometimes the ooc thread will have ooc opinions of events involving your character, and sometimes those opinions will be negative. If that's going to ruin your roleplay experience, then I don't really know what to say except here's a lolcat:

[Reinholdt]

Oh no. It's generally the attitude behind the people who portray that opinion that ruins it for me.

[ThePhantom]

Darkcomet, relax. Its just that DC made it very clear that trying to take the city will mean fighting him, so its just a little something that will hopefully put him to sleep, for about three weeks.

[ThirdEmperor]

I'm the one DC should be worried about. The Arkenhat shall be mine!

[Ashen Lilies]

Well, he might always notice a bowler hat at Cecily's shop, you know.

A bowler hat? With red dragonscale? Are you trying to make KR look ridiculous!? O_o

Abandoned Meatpacking Plant in the Red Zone

"AAAAAAAAAGH!"

A man writhes and screams in agony, his arms very carefully caught on a pair of meat hooks, as a very quiet individual in a black suit and orange tie with a pumpkin for a head looks him over, as if conducting some sort of warped, sick, disgusting experiment.

What nods silently, waiting for the sedatives he administered earlier to take effect, to allow his captive to focus on something other than the agonizing pain and wasting all his energy on that pathetic screechy racket.

When the individual finally begins to settle down a tad, What reaches into a pocket. He takes out a handful of photographs, looks through them to make sure everything is still in place, and takes a moment to dab the wounded man's tears with a picture of Moff. Just when it looks like What is going to hold up the pictures and start interrogating the man, a lever is pulled, and the meat-hooks twist about in the NPC's arms, causing the man to burst into disgusting, blubbery, agonized screeches once more.

What shakes his head, checks the wounds briefly to ensure that the man will be fine for now, and then holds up a picture of Brendan.

"I...I'm sorry, I don't know who that is. Please let me go, I'm sorry, I swear I'll never do whatever I did ever again! Just...please, let me-"

What would frown at this pitiful display if he could, but instead, opts to show his disapproval by cutting a thin line down the center of the man's chest with a hunting knife. Naturally, this just provokes even more thunderous screeches of agony in the massive warehouse.

After it subsides though, even more copies of the pictures Magtok gave to SAINT are held in front of the man. The man tells him everything, all of which consists entirely of common knowledge anyone else probably would've just asked for. Warwick's address, Gordon's position as head of AMEN, Admiral's general appearance and tendency to play music at taverns, and Riv's paranoid freakouts in GLoG. Once What has all the information he needs though, he doesn't stop there.

Oh, on a related note, did you know that to eviscerate means "To remove one's viscera" or in simpler terms, one's internal organs? I didn't, actually. I always assumed it had something to do with just tearing someone up for some reason. What knows better than I do, though, and takes the time to harvest a set of lungs, a heart, and more, shoving it into a worn, barely-functional freezer room, before he heads out to go to work.

Oh god oh god oh god, someone PLEASE turn this into a case for NOIR. What is probably not too far off Raz's power level now he can't co-locate or teleport. This would be too cool

[Morty]

<_<
>_>
Maybe.
Also, I think Raz should tell Dipsnig that it's him who runs NOIR before the goblin throws a fit.

[Project_Mayhem]

Wait - how does Dipsnig know about NOIR?

Raz's plan is to ... hope he doesn't find out. Seriously. He was about two bottles of whiskey down when they agreed to do it.

[happyturtle]

Maybe the big ad you put on the Wall?

[Morty]

Dipsnig doesn't know about it yet. But he's bound to find out eventually - if only because of the ad Happy mentioned.

[Project_Mayhem]

*facepalm*

Forgot that was in-character. So Raz did as well. He was drunk and forgot. Hilarity ensues.

[happyturtle]

So basically their business plan relies on potential customers learning about them, potential rivals not learning about them, and lots of alcohol. Should be hilarious.

[Morty]

If Raz talks fast and promises Dipsnig to run the business under NO's logo, he might save himself from getting an angry goblin in his face.
