Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
It doesn't affect the entirety of Inside or conflict with other places that already exist, but since it's a sort of "bubble zone" with special rules, it might be better to put it in a different thread, while letting it still physically be part of Inside. Otherwise, players who see posts in the Paintball Zone might think they can just jump in and interact as usual.

You answered my rhetorical not actually a question, but missed Happy's post with Kell. Also, mysterious light! Maybe you should go investigate that! >.>Originally Posted by Lord Magtok

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
I'm trying to figure out just how sensitive I've had Trium being in the past, and whether or not if she's sensitive enough to see the magic here will affect another scene she's in. And I'm leaving the mysterious light for Manticore or one of the other members right now, though Trium will tag along if Kell goes to look at it, or head over that way if no-one else posts for it after a while.

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
Oh noes! Character inconsistencies between plot clones? Ability retcon / handwaves? That must NEVER BE!

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
I'd poke C'nor towards Outside, but that'd be a tad hypocritical since I'm about five minues away from collapsing onto my desk. Yup.

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
From what Mee has said in the past, it's more that fights are strongly discouraged. Not to mention that the staff will immediately try to stop any fights happening. Such as Mee already having Naku asking them to stop fighting outside her Inn. But that's just from my forgetful memory. I've been forgetting and misremembering things a lot recently XD

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
Either way, there are exactly three threads in the Nexus which are "no combat" zones. It's not that hard to keep fighting out of them.

Serph, I'm afraid I'm totally lost on the SRW plot. Could you please repose your last reply for the scene the triplets are in?

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
You know, I think it's about time I ttried to start doping avatars of my characters...nya. I'll get better. Anyway, here's one of Marciano in his shiny new evil halfling guy suit! The eye thing will be addressed later in his roleplays. (Rather largeish.)

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
Try making the torso and legs shorter to make him look like a halfling.

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
Those are all valid points. The stray droplet/puddle thing was intentional, but do you think its a little harsh? As for armor... I guess a ruling could be made where the paint would have to touch skin rather than clothing in order to qualify for being expelled (that would get rid of the puddle problem), but that would make people with sealed and/or pressurized suits invulnerable to attack. Any suggestions on this? Also, it just crossed my mind that incorporeal people have a massive advantage as well. I'm going to rule that paintballs tune into the exact phase variance of incorporeal creatures when fired at them, so they can be affected.
I've been thinking about magic and psionics, and I think that they could be permitted. But they would be dumbed down in some way by the arena. Not sure by how much, though.
And as for the last part, yeah, I would love to. I made a post in the Welcome/Say Hello post, but I don't think I actually said it here, so; I am very sorry about the large absence with no warning whatsoever. I would have asked about plots that were going on a year ago, but I thought it would seem rude to be gone for so long and then ask to have the plots I was in before continue.Extended Homebrew Signature

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
Right now he kinda just looks like a really short guy... I'll fix it eventually.

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
Actually, I like it, mostly because he looks like he's standing on a box. Which is funny and indicates that he's short.

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
Noodle, I'm going to be blunt - I, as a player, don't want to deal with Marciano again, so I'm going to have Dipsnig refuse the woman's offer.

As an alternative, if you're willing, Dipsnig could accept it for NO and Jit could take the job.

Hey Hydranova, do you still need someone to be that Wyvern in the Hunting Grounds, or did someone else take on that role already?

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
First of all, Wolfy has put the Inside thread-making back under my helm. Though that doesn't mean I control it by any means. It isn't MY thread, it's a community project.
That said!
The paintball war zone, because it operates under weird rules that diverge from the rest of Inside (and the Nexus for that matter) would probably be best as its own thread. Same general idea as the Temperance Teahouse. Even though the Teahouse is Inside violence is impossible there and as such it would be kinda confusing to plop it down Inside.
That's my take on it! Though I think seeing what other peoples think would be valuable as well.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
Alrighty.
I'll make it it's own thread as soon as I make a couple more decisions (mainly how armor affects paintballing and how badly magic is suppressed in the area).Extended Homebrew Signature

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
Magic is converted to paint? Fireball >> Paintball?
I think the perma-"death" aspect might be a mistake. Either people will have their characters dodge everything, or you'll eat through the pool of interested PCs too fast. Maybe have some sort of mechanism for allowing re-entry? Earning bonus lives? Something...My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
Maybe everyone has 5 lives (max), and when you hit someone you get one of their lives. You get lives back at a rate of 1 every [given] days, but never go over the max of 5.

Re: [Nexus] OoC XXXI
If I'm not mistaken, BR is referring to the scene between Becky and the bunker lady who thought the world was going to end if she didn't continually press a button until the end of time.
Yep! The Hatter and The Hatteress still need to get those appointments tended to! Pavel is permadeadtimed forever, though, so he should probably be removed from the list whenever it is convenient. If you'd like I could send them in sometime this weekend. I finally wrapped up the last of my homework for this quarter, so I have more time than I had actually planned for this weekend.
I'm happy to see you back, LOTR!
I think that the armor factor thing might not pan out so well. Anyone stuck in a Big Daddy suit would win the contest hands down with no talent or strategy at all if that were so. That and a whole lot of the fun of waging paintball warfare is derived from being sneaky and avoiding being hit! Blending in with snowy tundra in blizzards and renditions of such masterful tactics are things that I personally find extremely cool! Instead, I'd recommend that, while intentional head shots might be disallowed for safety reasons, torso shots, upper leg shots, and upper arm shots be counted as serious/lethal hits while things like shoe shots be ignored and lower arm and lower leg shots be scored as maiming hits that will only "kill" if they pile up and such or something akin to that.
Of course, that's just my take on it, and I'm certainly no pro when it comes to paintball (meaning that, while I've listened to many stories on the topic, I've never went out and played it myself).

I also finally posted another piece of the theater scene in the last Inside thread today on the last page or next to last page just so the players involved know.Last edited by The Alexandrian; 2012-06-02 at 05:29 PM.
