Quick Fix Game 12: The Time of Reckoning

[queensteph she/her]

Sign me up as Steph! 

[Orlok Tsubodai]

I've now recovered sufficiently that I'll be able to play this game - probably as Locke, but I might change that to something more fitting.

[Mystique Chameleon]

I'll sign up as Kamyle. Whoever you are, or whatever you are, I'd not suggest calling me a ca... a ca... That big animal that lives in the desert. Trust me, it's not safe.

[Elbereth she/her]

What, a cactus? What're you so scared of about a cactus?

Sorry. But that's exactly what my character's response would be. And he's completely serious about it. Not exactly the brightest pig in the pen.

[queensteph she/her]

I was going to play, but I haven't read Steelheart yet and don't want spoilers. Should I drop out or no?? I'm still deciding. 

[Kynedath]

By the way guys, I am not entirely sure about my activity levels in either this game, or in LG16. Not only do I have mid-terms, but I am also applying for a scholarship through air cadets. I will try my best to post twice a day, a moderate to long post in the morning and a final thought post after I get home from school. This is for MST.

[phattemer]

There won't be any spoilers in write-ups etc., so this section of the forum will be the same as any other. Parts of the rules are canon, parts aren't.

We are now in the final 24 hours of sign ups! If you've been thinking about joining but haven't decided, this is your last chance.

merged double post :)

[Burnt Spaghetti she/her]

Bah dang it all.

For those who don't know I have TERRIBLE passive perception, so I somehow missed the memo that I'm going away for about 8 days (20 jan to the 28th jan I think)....

I technically could still log on, but I doubt I would be active enough to be useful....

Which is annoying, cause I really wanted to play this game.

I think I'll be sort of able to manage the LG but the Qf isn't going to work that well for me.

Darn

Sorry. I thought I was only going to be away for about 4 days and that would have been manageable I thought but... 8? That complicates things.

Sorry for the last minute change but yeah, I'm going to have to back out of this game. Sorry Phatt. I'll sign up for the spectator doc though.

[queensteph she/her]

Ok, I'm staying then! I'm excited for the game! 

[Arraenae]

Can't wait for this game to start! In the words of someone who is probably not to be trusted, "I got so much pent-up SE in me."

I'm not entirely sure who you're referring to, however I reckon he is a kind fellow worthy of everyone's trust.

...says the person who has happily lied, murdered, and broken MR10. Yeah, he's definitely a trustworthy guy and not an utter slontz. Just ask his victims!

Emphasis mine.

 

Happy? You should know I regretted every moment of it

AWWWWWWWWWWWW you guys!! SO CUTE!!!

 

To hell with this. I'm joining, why not? I'll die anyway as soon as LG16 starts.

 

Sign me up as Kipper, a 17thSharder.

[phattemer]

Certainly, my good Kipper.

[Guest]

I find it somewhat amusing that I got put farther up on the signup list than half of you people.

[phattemer]

Cycle 1 will start about an hour and a quarter earlier than all forthcoming cycles. Anyone who decides they want to sign up between now and 6 PM can still do so, but in the interest of starting the game today, the topic will go up in a few minutes.

(If there are new people, then they will be added ~10:30 EST)

Cycle One: The Writing on the Wall

Perseus strode through his court. That building would need repairing, and this wall… he paused. What was that graffiti? It was hard to read, but it looked like it said “d0wn w1th P3r53u5”. Down… with… but the last word was illegible. He shrugged, and continued on his way. Strange. Typically only a few buildings were destroyed in a day, but that was the sixth right there. And the seventh. And- he counted for a moment- the twenty-first. And why did each one have a single wall left standing, with the same message? Down with something. The building, perhaps? Perseus couldn’t stand not knowing the reason for something. He teleported over to a young minion staring at the words. “Subject! Can you tell me what these words say?” he thundered.

“Well, Lord Perseus, th-th-they say… ‘Down with Perseus’” the mook stammered.

"Treason!” Perseus summoned a waterball and blew his head off. He turned to another subject. “You! What do the words say!?”

“Ah, Lord Perseus, the first one is ‘down’, the second is ‘with’, and the third is ‘Perseus’” said the woman hopefully.

“Did I ask what they said individually?!? Put them together!” he exclaimed!

“They say ‘Down With Perseus’” she said quietly.

“Treason!” he shouted! “Take her away and find the mastermind!” One of his most trusted lieutenants stepped forward.

“Lord Perseus. The words on the wall are a treasonous slogan that says ‘down with perseus’” he explained.

“Oh. I knew that. Just testing you!” Perseus quickly teleported away. Why would anyone have written that? The only people that hated the Epics were the Reckoners… and given that he never accepted new mundanes, they couldn’t hide. Perseus thought for a minute. And an hour. And a few more hours. Finally he hit on it. “Aha! They’re killing people and disguising themselves! Wait, no… Reckoners don’t kill mundanes…” Several hours passed. “Aha! They’re disguised as Epics! And that actually makes sense, what with the rumors of technology that grants powers…” Perseus immediately gathered all his Epics in the central room. “None of you are leaving until all the Reckoners are dead!”

Cycle One will end at 6:00 PM EST tomorrow.

The Mighty Lopen.

Needed to get this game started.

[TheMightyLopen he/him]

I meant to say this before the game started, but my RP character was going to have the power of invisibility. So, if I make my character disappear or anything, that's not me claiming invisibility. (Or is it?  ) No, it really isn't.

 

I ain't got time to post much right now, but I'll go ahead and put a vote down. Kynedath. I saw you viewing the thread earlier, but you didn't post.

 

Hey Emo Ren. Did you call for me?

Hey Emo Ren. Did you call for me?

I have about four minutes to look at the thread between classes at school, so when I saw that the thread had been started, I checked in to read the exposition. Also, I don't close my tabs when I leave, so I have about four going at a time per game, and when I need to use my computer, I have separate tabs open for those. If my viewing seems sporadic, then it is probably me googling something for one of my classes. My posts will probably be around 6:15 - 6:45 AM and another one at 3:50ish MST. I am not sure when you saw me but I was probably looking up the second law of thermodynamics at the time.

 

Edit: I should also mention that if I do not have time to post all of my thoughts just before roll-over, I promise to explain them on the next cycle. I only have 15 minutes to post by the time I get home to roll-over.

Alrighty. Thanks Kynedath. QueenSteph. 

 

@GM, do we need to green our votes out in the original post we voted in? Or just in the post we're removing the vote from? 

 

Also, I asked some questions in the sign-up thread that you haven't answered yet.

 

Here's some advice from me before I go: @Matter Disruptors, I think we should hold off on killing anyone just yet. In QF11, a bunch of villagers died from inactivity making it very easy for the eliminators to pull off the win. I'm hoping that kind of inactivity won't ever happen again, but I'd rather our kill roles don't go kill happy with that inactivity filter in play again. What do you guys think?
