So, I couldn’t just send a PM saying “Hey, how are you,” and boom, I get two boxings? Do they have to be a certain length? Who's to say whether or not sending "Hey, how are you" is game related? Maybe such a one-line message is secretly just a really lazy attempt at pocketing Anyways, if you send me such a message, I will absolutely take that as an invitation to strike up more game-related conversation in response. I can't answer for Striker so take what I'm saying here with one more grain of salt than however many you would usually take it with, but I'm pretty sure that any PM sent to another player counts. If there were additional requirements, I think the rules would have said so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Windwhisperer did that last time but that seems to have changed. I don’t think so. 9 hours ago, Ashbringer said: Are there any non-secret ways of distorting the Sparker’s or the Investigator’s alignment scan results, besides them running into a Slider or Pulser? Smokers only block Seeking/Soothing/Rioting here. I mean there’s roleblocks and redirects. Can’t remember how much of those there are. 6 hours ago, Szeth_Pancakes said: Just to clarify @StrikerEZ, to get boxings PMs need to be game related, right?

I mean, the way we did it last game is we just checked a box off in the spreadsheet if you’d PM’d once in the turn. Technically all you would have to do is say something like that, though it’s more fun for everyone if you put more effort into the PMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danex Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) I wasn’t going to sign up for this game. The setting didn’t seem all that interesting, the boxing gimmick seemed a bit weird, and a very brief skim of the rules revealed nothing that immediately caught my attention. But upon a reread, I noticed two things that have changed my mind. 1. There are wayyyy more roles than there will be players, so a ton of roles will be left out. That’s interesting. And 2. There are secrets. Secrets are usually fun. Conclusion, I’ll join. No character since this setting doesn’t really click with me.

Mat Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Pfft, whatever Dannex This is one of the most iconic games out there. Not only was it the birthplace of AraRaash, it’s why my pfp and my cover image in my profile are what they are. And that’s not even mentioning the Shouty-Shout Agency. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Shouty Shout Agency was really fun. I feel a bit bad limiting PMs to just one-on-one this game...but I think it's necessary since this game has a tendency to be really solvable through mechanics alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there was this one group PM where they started only communicating in "shouts," aka in all caps. And they would post transcripts from the PMs in the thread as ways to get RP boxings. I don't remember who all was involved in the PM anymore, but it was really funny to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrakeMarshall Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) I think Ash was also in on it? Looking back, also Elandera and Magestar. Wow, that was one ridiculous group PM. Very, very ridiculous. For what it's worth, there was some game discussion It looks like one of my last messages in there before I died was saying something about the probability of the SHOUTY SHOUT AGENCY including some eliminators (which it most certainly did).

Mist Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 *pulls fire alarm* DID YOU SAY SHOUTY-SHOUT AGENCY?!? Hehehe that was fun. And also yes this game feels iconic to me. Partly because I think it was my first LG, and also Ararash. hyyyyyype! And yeah there was a little game discussion. A very little. Also transcripts are interspersed in the LG66 thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules don't specifically say, and it was already PAFOd if they start with an Allomantic ability. They probably start with an item or two, if I were to guess. But they don't have any abilities on their own other than choosing a player to be their successor that I'm aware of or you will be able to be aware of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, that reminds me that I need to make an announcement: my wisdom teeth surgery got moved up to the exact time that I was planning on starting this game, rather than later in the day. So I'm thinking I'll probably push the start of this game at least 12 hours back. It depends on what time works for Young Bard. I should have an official time by the end of the day Wednesday for sure, if not earlier. @Ashbringer @Biplet @Szeth_Pancakes @Lotus @Araris Valerian @The Unknown Order @DrakeMarshall @Jondesu @Archer @Ventyl @Experience @Devotary of Spontaneity @Azmine_king @Mist @|TJ| @manukos @Dannex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
