Edgedancer he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Let's raise money for charity! Dart Throwing Booth Goal: $5,000 Money Raised: $50 Horseshoe Toss Goal: $5,000 Money Raised: $12 Timeport Punching Booth Goal: $5,000 Money Raised: $14,689,423.68 Point made: Everyone wants to punch Timeport. And I don't mind it when other people write WHOOCs for my characters. Seeing their take on them is fun. Maybe we should sell some of his organs as well, you know for charity. 2
Voidus Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Maybe we should sell some of his organs as well, you know for charity. As long as we sell it to people who plan on incinerating them. I don't think anyone would want to live with a piece of Timeport inside of them. 2
Comatose he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Argon will be happy to meet with Buttercup and Kenshin If they approach peacefully, there will be cake, if not they won't get any Anyway, I have plans for the evening/night including Summer, Drainer and Argon, but we're still far away from that. If most of our plans are for the evening, we could always time jump forward a few hours. Right now it seems like the major action for the next bit will be Buttercup, Kenshin, and Argon, so when that's wrapped up we could jump to supper time? Would anyone be opposed?

Kobold King he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 The WHOOCs are great, Voidus. And I'm loving your Christmas avatar, Edge. :lol: Who's up next in Portland? 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 3, 2015 Author Posted December 3, 2015 Who's up next in Portland? We were trying to decide that, actually.
Voidus Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 The WHOOCs are great, Voidus. And I'm loving your Christmas avatar, Edge. :lol: Who's up next in Portland? Thanks. Either you or Edge at the museum with the Jägers or Backtrack I think.
Kobold King he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Thanks. Either you or Edge at the museum with the Jägers or Backtrack I think. Backtrack will probably just grab MV and hide in a dumpster when he sees the Jagers, so I'd say to let them get to the ground and go about their business first.

If you don't want them to interact you can really just go ahead without my characters doing anything on screen/just have them walk by.

So are we no longer concerned with keeping time with the other threads? I have a feeling that the recent hour jump puts us a fair bit ahead of the others already, but I know that the previous day's end was lined up between all the threads at the time.

I have a feeling that the recent hour jump puts us a fair bit ahead of the others already, but I know that the previous day's end was lined up between all the threads at the time. Actually this is a good point, the Dalles and Portland are both still relatively early in the morning. And Astoria is too I think.
mail-mi he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Not sure if he can still teleport through it as long as he doesn't start drowning so I knocked him out so that I didn't have to guess what exact effect the water would have on him. (Yes, it was all for the plot I tell you, that's the only reason I punched Timeport. ) Also sorry for butchering everyone's character, if anyone has any appropriate dialog I'd love to include it. I hate writing for other people's character but I strangely enjoy watching other people write mine so I can see their take on the character. Half immersion cancels his teleportation, and full immersion cancels his resurrection. So I'm imagining this giant ball of water that Timeport is engulfed in. And it is beautiful.
Comatose he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 No objections on my end. So by the way, did you decide on who to kidnap with Insight? I'll keep thinking about it, and make a decision closer to when it is actually time for that to happen. Since it won't be until the next game day, I'd like to see what all happens in the mean time. Everyone should feel free to keep coming up with ideas though! I like brainstorming . So are we no longer concerned with keeping time with the other threads? I have a feeling that the recent hour jump puts us a fair bit ahead of the others already, but I know that the previous day's end was lined up between all the threads at the time. I think as long as the day end lines up, we should be fine. That's a good point though, we don't want to get too far ahead and then have to wait a long time for the other threads to catch up. We can pack the evening with a lot of action to compensate, but perhaps we should see where the other threads are up to when the Argon, Buttercup, Kenshin interaction is done before making a final decision regarding the jump. Once I have more time, I could also insert Legacy and Peregrine into the game. We can also always just come up with some more plots to fill time with

We can also always just come up with some more plots to fill time with Right, I just realized that recently a lot of people are teasing with kidnapping my characters and then not delivering. Anyway, we'll see how Kenshin's outing goes. I'd generally agree, although nothing so far has set them on the same time line as for example portland, so one day more or less wouldn't make that much of a difference.
Voidus Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 There's another potential opening in the Wastelands should anyone want it. Though at the rate we're losing players it might not survive for long.
Comatose he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Well I did have an idea for an army led by a teleporting gifter but that might be a bit too big of a plot point and it'd kind of detract from Corvallis' more intrigue-centered plot. Keep that in the vault. As we get later into the story, maybe we could set up a Well of Ascension situation where Corvallis's rulers must negotiate between two powerful invading forces (Iconoclast and Teleporter). I agree though that it might be too much for the current time. RE: Kenshin - If we want to lock that in, I'm fine with it. I'd still like to hold off planning the specific details until later, but if the kidnapping is something we definitely want to do in the near future, I'm fine with confirming it .

I wouldn't want to force you into it, if a better option comes around, although I'm starting to like the idea more and more. Just noticed a starting trend, is all.
Blaze1616 he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 The thing is, we're approaching being 9 hours ahead, and because Corvallis, as a thread, is open to new players who want to come in and RP a lot, the pace is a bit faster. Should we stop and wait, even now, it'd likely be a couple weeks to a month before they catch up (no disrespect!). Now, I'm down with waiting, so either decision is fine with me, but it is something we should consider, particularly during times when the posts are flying. As a mildly related note, I'll try to get a post up today or tomorrow, but it might have to wait until next week.
18th Shard he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I'm fine either way - I agree with Blaze here. If someone wants to rescue Jumpdrive and Michael, that'd be great. There's only one ghoul on them. As far as Insight goes, kidnapping Jumpdrive makes sense, but kind of undermines the plot I had in mind for him. Plus, Coma said Insight would probably just try to kill Jumpdrive if he got to be dangerous, so there is that boring problem . If Insight wants to try and kill him, but fails and leaves instead of kidnapping him, I could see it working. Phoenix definitely is an option though, I think he could be very easily recruited and it would solve some of the problems with Converter's plotline vanishing. For wastelands, I can try and get a post up, but it would just be the Fates dealing with the agents, which I can do in an explanation/flashback on the next day when they visit the Immortal in Timeout. I think that's how I'll have the deal with him. Voidus Is there a time limit/ healing power limit for the Immortal, or is he virtually unkillable?
Comatose he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Nice Jumpdrive and Phoenix posts 18th Shard! The thing is, we're approaching being 9 hours ahead, and because Corvallis, as a thread, is open to new players who want to come in and RP a lot, the pace is a bit faster. Should we stop and wait, even now, it'd likely be a couple weeks to a month before they catch up (no disrespect!).

As a mildly related note, I'll try to get a post up today or tomorrow, but it might have to wait until next week. But if we channel that enthusiasm, and just include more stuff going on at once, we may be able to get things to equal out, no? Also, knowing me, I'm bound to hold things up from time to time, so I wouldn't count our chickens before they hatch. Once we start approaching the end of the day, then we can start discussing options for maintaining synchronization with the other threads. One option (if we end up having travel in between threads like what happened with Portland and the Dalles) would be to set the beginning of Corvallis a few days back. If a traveller reaches Portland, for example, before the present Portland day, we could use flashbacks or quick summary to show what the character has been doing up until that point. We could also just say the person took their time travelling. If the traveller reaches their destination later than the present day, they would just have to wait to arrive. The problem is for characters who want to travel from other locations to Corvallis. Since we don't have any yet, we can probably leave things be, and then just anchor Corvallis in the timeline as soon as this happens. Basically, if Shiny Sparkle, for example, teleports to Corvallis, that would synch Corvallis up with the Dalles, and however many days occured before her arrival would happen relative to whatever the present day in the Dalles is (so Day 3 in Corvallis could end up being Day 2 in the Dalles). Another option could be to introduce some sort of time-locking/manipulation epic to Corvallis, if someone is interested in playing one. Those are just a few ideas of how we could deal with plots moving at different speeds. Feel free to poke holes in any of them. Like I said before, it's really not an issue at the moment, and it only might become one in the future. I wouldn't want to force you into it, if a better option comes around, although I'm starting to like the idea more and more. Just noticed a starting trend, is all. I'm fine either way - I agree with Blaze here. If someone wants to rescue Jumpdrive and Michael, that'd be great. There's only one ghoul on them. As far as Insight goes, kidnapping Jumpdrive makes sense, but kind of undermines the plot I had in mind for him.

If Insight wants to try and kill him, but fails and leaves instead of kidnapping him, I could see it working. Phoenix definitely is an option though, I think he could be very easily recruited and it would solve some of the problems with Converter's plotline vanishing. I like the Phoenix idea! Did we ever decide if Jumpdrive's firewall could keep intangibles out? I can't remember. And yeah, if Insight thought he could recruit Jumpdrive, he might keep him alive, but given his loyalty to the Queen's he would have a tough time trusting him. Given Kenshin's distaste for Corvallis, and Phoenix's open rebellion, they are both much more likely candidates for recruitment. Insight could potentially capture both next game day (Corvallis Day 3), and then we could alternate flash backs as he views their memories. Another potential candidate would be Skinsaver. Like Jumpdrive, Insight would likely kill Skinsaver when he was done getting information from him but as long as it made sense for plot reasons, I would probably be fine with Skinsaver dying, so it's not as much of an issue as it is in Jumpdrive's case. Also, I had some ideas for two more Insight cronies (minor but useful epics). If anyone is interested in adopting them, let me know and I can provide more info. NPC #1 - Can read relationships between people, sensing affection, loyalty, hatred, indifference, etc. Used by Insight to recruit potential sympathizers within Corvallis. No other powers, so Insight controls him/her through threat of violence. NPC #2 - Helps Insight craft hideouts by using their powers together. More details if someone is interested, if not, you'll find out soon . I'm fine with them being NPC's, but thought I would give others the opportunity to play them if they wanted.
Blackhoof Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I think that moving ahead is necessary. Corvallis is a bit more active than any other thread (less players i guess), and i don't like the idea of waiting weeks or months to progress to the next day. I mean, Portland has only just started and Corvallis is near lunch time. There is no shame in different activity levels, but I would rather Judy move ahead and deal with the consequences. So far there hasn't been any crossover between Corvallis and the other cities other than one mention if the dome by Deathskull.
mail-mi he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 What if his head gets dunked in water? It has to be full body immersion or half body immmersion. So if it was just his head, he could teleport away.
