Nice! I get to have no feelings, yes! :D

That sounds like an excellent sort of question for your character to be asking if you ask me Blink

Let's see...

Sepherim: Tin Man

Telegram Sam: Scarecrow

Adreena: Dorothy

Me: Lion. >:3


So does that mean I am the wicked witch or the wonderful wizard?

...or bothTwisted

Okay, I was treating it as the classical issue you have to accept because it's meant to keep the players as a starting point. Seph will start wondering about it from now on. :)

But yes, both. :D

Okay, just edited my previous post (not the last one), to correct some major misunderstandings on my part. Shouldn't affect you guys, as its all "inside Seph's head" but just in case I thought I should tell you all.

Hello, I can't believe I just noticed that this thread is still active. I've just been following the IC one all this time. Oops

I like those Oz assignments. They kind of fit. I'd agree, SF is definitely the Wizard and the Wicked Witch of the West. And maybe also the Good Witch of the East (applying game rule advantages for us when we're too noob/uninformed to do that ourselves). We have some rogue drones appearing as the flying monkeys, too. But where's Toto? Smile

I have to say, this RP game is going pretty excellently. An interesting and puzzling scenario and good entries from the players. Much fun.

You'll probably see an 'Edited by:' on every one of my posts. When I reread them I can't help rewording something or trimming something down. No changes to the substance of the post, just fixing typos or OCDing about the wording.

I usually edit my own too, but in this case I had to make some major adjustments to the core of Seph's thoughts because I had missunderstood the situation, and I thought it would have been appropriate to warn you guys, just in case you too became paranoid with those things when they were just a misunderstanding. :)

Usually when I edit, it's either because I have mistypes or I jack up the quote macro. -__-

Great stuff!
One question though: will there be a new adventure after this so other people can join? I totally want in!

I don't think we're close to the finish, and play by post usually advances rather slowly. Maybe (if all the rest agree, and San Francisco can/wants manage another player) you should create your character and get introduced in this story as a good ocasion comes for it?

Would be awesome, however as I understand it would be kinda hard to introduce new characters into the story at this moment, w/o resolving to any deus-ex-machina solutions.
Anyway, it would be cool to hear what San Fransisco thinks about it.

I would be happy to include you if I can. (Same goes for anyone interested) I’ll send you an Eve-mail and we can talk about how to include your character.

Okay, my three advantage points will be:

+1 in all rolls for scouting

+1 in all rolls for analyzing information (looking for patterns and the like)

+1 in all rolls for flying

I thought I best keep it simple, so here they are. When you can, you should edit the post that has my character sheet and add these, if it's okay with you. :)

I have a few questions concerning the rules we're using...

Is it possible to claim a disadvantage during the game -an area of skill or knowledge our character is incompetent at- the same way we can claim an advantage ?
Specifically, I was toying with the idea of claiming "The safe spot is the target" to reflect Adreena's clumsiness when it comes to firearms.

Are those advantages the one you mentionned early in the "Who am I ?" thread :

San Fransisco wrote:

Each character has three chances to proclaim that they are particularly skilled in a certain situation and receive a bonus (+1 or +2, depending) to the action. From then on they will keep that bonus and be able to use it on future rolls of the same kind of action.

My Advantage points then:
+1 hacking (computers/electronics)
+1 Interest in virtual neurology/AI
+1 blind recklessness/banzai/berserk/Leeroy Jenkins (the flip side of usually being a calm, low-key personality)Smile

I haven't looked at the games system yet, but I'd be up for joining after brushing up.
