[Nexus] OOC 29: Since When Have Titles Been All That Important, Anyway?

[Morty]

Any offer that'd piss off Remnant too much might be poorly viewed by Dipsnig. He enjoys being in cahoots with the government. Still, he'd be willing to consider the offer.

[Hattish Thing]

Inspector Thenadier has worked with Remnant. Together Remnant has placed a bounty on Marty Aceford. Below is the bounty:

Name: Marty Aceford

Bounty: 5,000 GP

Crime: Murder, Assault

Looks: Marty is often seen wearing a magenta suit with a silver vest and white cuffs. He is blonde with blue eyes.

Danger Rating (1-10): 2, but Marty surrounds himself with powerful friends.

Details: Aceford was witnessed by a man named Inspector Thenadier, Aceford supposedly burnt down his own house, killing an employee, and almost murdered the Inspector. Acefords friends attacked the Inspector, probably under his orders. Aceford is a fugitive from Cylar. He is armed. He is usually seen in his inn, The Sleeping Goblin.

I'm going to repost this because I believe I posted this at the bottom of a page 4 pages ago, so no one saw it.

[Chezmarine]

Oh... My... God...

THEY EXIST.

BELT FED AUTOMATIC SHOTGUNS.

[Mindfreak]

Singingnoodle, that was very uncool with what you just did in DFI with Marciano. I was waiting for Mee, and you should have as well. After all, she was engaged in the conversation as well.

[Hattish Thing]

She was? I must have missed the post.

[Mindfreak]

She was? I must have missed the post.

She hasn't posted since you tried to have Marciabo ride the cockroach up her leg.

[Hattish Thing]

Oh....I was confused under the barrage of other posts...

[Zefir]

You should first look for posts that are related to your chars, for example Fade asked the other halfling a question and never got an answer. I made two other IC post to tell it you, but you obviously ignored it.

[The Alexandrian]

@ Mind/BR! Has BR/Have you posted in DFI for the scene-thing we were working on there yet?

On another note, looks like the job is going to go to NO. And I don't think the job will irk Remnant much. Not if they wade through the rubble of the building to discover what really was happening there, which NO will already know of beforehand.

Let's leave it at some really terrible things are going on there. And that's an understatement!

[Mindfreak]

I do believe I did post for it.

[ThirdEmperor]

So, as the actual post was rather unclear, Magtok's robo-bits cause him to spin around and keep tracking Prometheus, right?

[Lord Magtok]

If simply turning his head or something isn't enough, then yes.

[The Bushranger]

Speaking of Prommie, where did his trucks go after leaving Erin's?
He might be followed.

[ThirdEmperor]

They haven't gone anywhere yet, seeing as you never replied to my last post for the scene.

[FireFox]

Oh, wow, I just remembered something about that fight that should have been brought up earlier...

Erin's Emporium
Timeline B

Theo's vision is obstructed, but he just patiently waits for a clear shot. If one or both of the trucks are out of the cloud, then he'll fire a few rounds at the tires in order to prevent the soldiers from escaping.

Erin's Emporium- Timeline B

He's successful in shooting the right tires of the uncrashed truck, for all the good doing so will do.

So did Prometheus have enough Fore-thought to make tires out of kevlar, or are they merely capable of resealing and reinflating holes?

[ThirdEmperor]

Erm, yep, both trucks are outta commission. So I guess they're making their escape via the armored transports instead.

[Earl of Purple]

Bulletproof tyres do exist. The British used them on several WWII-era armoured scout cars, namely the Daimler Dingo and possibly others. I believe they are solid rubber, so aren't so good for the suspension, but putting a hole in it won't slow it down significantly as there's no air to be released. Kevlar therefore is not required to make a tyre bulletproof.

[Mindfreak]

The heck Singingnoodle?
I just said that I was waiting for Mee to continue the scene with Marciano and Songdancer in DFI!
So not cool, man.

[Hattish Thing]

I figured he could have a side conversation with the new member. I guess not. Deleted.

[Mindfreak]

Well, I don't know why you thought that as my last post involving him had Songdancer levitating him and talking to him while he's still ant size.
Do you think Songdancer would do nothing if he suddenly grew to such a huge size again?
Do you think Naku would do nothing if he got to such a size again?
No! They would do something!
You do have some sort of obligation at least to finish the scene that you started. And you do have an obligation to wait for Mee to put in his post.

[Earl of Purple]

Deadtime now, goodnight everyone. Sleep tight, and don't let the flobberworms bite.

BR, please post for Sawyer's Inn.

TE please post for the Swamp of Not-Quite-Sanity.

[UncleWolf]

Okay, Noodle, now that the scenes in Remnant are over, I'd like to bring up several issues. I didn't bring them up before as I believed it best that we finished the scene as quickly as possible. There's quite a bit I wish to talk about, so I'll go in chronological order to make it as orderly as possible.

First, the deal with the halfling. If the Halfling had just passed on the message, it would have made it easier and simpler all around, but you had a sudden explosion of gore before revealing Celesto to complicate things. Most times, Remnant would have opened fire without a second thought, but because this was your first time, I figured I shouldn't do that and see where you were headed with it.

Next, the treasure chest. When I said the amount of fifteen thousand gold, it was supposed to be a bit of a roadblock for you that you could eventually get around with minor difficulty. But then you suddenly had one of the Duer'gar have a treasure chest packed with the gold? Specifically 15 thousand? Pulling that out of thin air...it doesn't make any sense and made that entire part meaningless.

There's a bit more, but for now, those are the two main issues I'm having at the moment.

[JadeVamp]

So... uhh... I'm not sure If I was supposed to post here before walking in on the RP (I posted on the introductory thread, but I kinda skipped to the tavern). Do I need to post a character summary anywhere or do anything special?

[Slii Arhem]

Well hey and good day.

As far as character summaries go, you can certainly post one here although they're not required.

If you haven't read them already, there are these two guides to FFRP, and our own special little corner of it.

And finally, if you have any questions, that's what we're here for. Glad to have another face join the Nexus.

I realize now that the message idea was simpler. I have come to realize simpler is better here. But it wasn't like I could undo it.


The chest; I have only one answer to this. Maaaaaagic.


That was my first scene where currency meant anything and I had no idea what to do...

[UncleWolf]

@Phantom: I only bring this up since TE will post before Magtok does, but Magtok's moving a hell of a lot faster than Gordon's ability to breath in and then exhale. After all, he just broke the sound barrier. By the time he's even heard Magtok, he's far past him. Not only that, but you've forgotten to post how all three of the remaining toxins/diseases are working on Gordon again.

EDIT: Of course, you know your PC's capabilities more than I, and at the end of it all, the breath thing is just my opinion of the matter.

@Noodle: You don't have anything to worry about, as I figured that was the case, but I was just trying to explain so you can keep it in mind in the future. As for undoing scenes, you can if the other players involved don't mind what's called a RetCon. I don't mind doing them if they had been something small like right after Celesto appeared, but now you know for next time.

Noodle, any time you aren't sure what to do, you can always come to the OOC thread and ask. That's what it's here for.

That and cute animal pictures.

[Mindfreak]

Singingnoodle, the posts in DFI where Marciano grows big again and where he's getting ignored by the girl need to be deleted.
It's uncool for you to have posted them in the first place, and doubly uncool for them to still be up after I talked about them to you.

Gordon knows how to aim ahead. As the toxins, about the only thing left to be resulted by their presense is either Gordon getting healed of them or dying. He can hardly move right now thanks to them.

[Lord Magtok]

Gordon knows how to aim ahead.

Even so, even if Gordon has supersonic reflexes, he's taking the time to take a big, deep breath beforehand.

Mach 1 is fast. In that time, if everything goes according to the cyborg's improvisations and crude impromptu nonsense plans, Magtok's probably going to be at least within spitting range of Prometheus when Gordon gets around to vomiting his lightning bolt.
