Liberty nods at this, slowly considering whether to accept the job or not.

"Hmm... money is a good number of it. I will... can do this, but I need the... told what you have us for working with. And against."

Wibblo, obviously growing annoyed, responded, "Well, working with us *gestures to Zaire* and working against the current government! Will you please stop with that thing! *gestures at the evident lack of mental capabilities of Liberty*

@Ricocheting Windrunner that works great :D!

No offense @ChickenLiberty that is just how my character is responding. Nothing wrong with you, my character just can't really tolerate "dumb" people. Especially when they choose to by filling a metalmind. Wibblo will respond much more positively when you use the mental mind.

Umm, something seems wrong with the site. I can't edit and when I scroll left, then it shows the background fading into black. Doesn't fix when I reload. It might be Internet on my end, though.

Are you using Grammarly? It causes problems with the site.

After taking a little while to realize that Wibblo was referring to him, Liberty protests, "No... that's not a... what for me. It's a good thing... I need that it's good."

Liberty turns back to Corvus, accepting the job. "What this thing is... easier than think... I can do it. You understand... I'm not of same way I seem."

@GoWibble, did you try turning off Grammarly? Does it work now?

What other resources will you provide?  Information?  Specialists?  Security? 

"Well the thing is..." Corvus appears slightly uncomfortable. "I was hoping you three would be our specialist. We have little experience in this so far as the rebellion has for the most part been insignificant. Information we can provide how much depending on the mission. Security? If you mean a secure hideout to operate from then yes we can provide that. Your asking a lot of specifics can you not trust our operation to give you what you need?"

Zaire mentally does the calculations.  "400 gold would be my standard rate for such conditions."

So @ChickenLiberty had come up with an idea that steelrunners store speed/  time^2. is that the standard for the purposes of this RPG or just speed / time? Also, compounding would make me move faster, but not any longer, right? Or the other way around?

Quote

What? I said that steelrunners store distance, not that. In fact, what you just said is a unit called "jerk," which is your change in acceleration. Plus, although I said distance then, I'm now leaning more towards speed multiplier×time.

Compounding releases 10× the amount of attribute you burn, and it would make you move faster. However, you can make it last longer by storing the attribute from burning back into a metalmind, as you can control the speed those are tapped at.

Also, standard for the RPG is definitely not speed / time, which would be acceleration. I assume that the standard for an RPG would just be to follow the description in the books, without necessarily needing to know the underlying mechanics.

@ChickenLiberty @GoWibble All of those maths are beyond me so just follow the book standard and agree with how to work your compounding and storing.

When and where do I start?

"If you please you can come with me to my safe house and rest there tonight for it is approaching evening. Then I will have your first job in the morning." Corvus then turned to Zaire. "300 for the first job and if your talents live up to your fame I'll raise it to 400. This is the last offer." 

 

@Feruchemical Skybreaker "Haven't you seen the things they do?" said the skybreaker who you remember is named Jarson. "The government takes food and living space, kills those who try to advance in life, blackmails all the inversture users into their services. All the ones that don't straight sell their soul that is." he looks at you meaningfully.

I'm interested! That seems cool, but make sure that you have time to do this! :D Generally, most (if not all) RPGs turn out to be lumped under Sanderson Elimination. You could ask @Fifth Scholar or @Elbereth for some pointers

uh....

not really...

Sanderson Elimination is a very specific type of roleplay.

So yes, if you want to do a mafia game, good! But i really don't think that's what this is.

No this is a standard cosmere role play

Sorry to word it like this but could you not post on the thread as it can confuse with the role playing and dialogue. Sorry to be that guy.

"If you are implying that I 'sold my soul' then you are very much incorrect. besides just because there are... corrupt figures in the government doesn't mean that the law itself is flawed."

I walk away.

Jarson shoots past you on a lashing and lands in front of you summoning his spren in shardblade form. "The law allows the government to do this which makes it corrupt as well. We are the enforcers not just of the city law but of the cosmere law. This breaks it. Now I've made my choice with those who want to change it and you stand in our way. Now you can choose the law or I'll be forced to remove you." he levels his shardblade at you eyes hard.

...

no. you can't just tell me not to post, when what i was doing is perfectly rational.

Anyway, the general usage, in the alleyverse and many of the smaller roleplays, is qoute boxes. That clarifies quite quickly whether it is in or out of character.

Don't be rude.

I'm here. Just insert me into the scene however you please.

Coda stumbled out of a dark alley and ran towards the shop. Somehow, he had gone into the wrong sector three times, misplaced his Essence Marks, and gotten trampled by a horse. At the entrance, he rolled up his sleeve and stamped himself with his people-skills mark. He walked in, confidence settling around him like a suit of armor. He turned to the merchant and said, "I am here for a meeting."
