  1. Five years. Outlaw had counted each and every one of them. Five years of sweat, labor, and pain. Five years of trail dust and the drudgery of the open road. Five years of combing the deserts of Oregon, not even knowing where his next meal would come from. All of it was now past. Some friends were worth fighting for, but none were worth dying for. Outlaw's last brush in Keizer had nearly cost him his life. He saw that as a sign: He had fulfilled his obligation to try and find Orange Crush, and could finally move on. So it was with a relieved resignation that Outlaw prodded Shadowfax towards the center of Salem that day, seeking out the local saloon. His horse drew stares as it plodded along. Outlaw wasn't surprised. In the wild places of Oregon, drifters turned out to be enemies as often as friends, attacking the communities that gave them shelter and slaughtering the townsfolk. Outlaw had actually done that himself a few times, with his posse, and found it to be quite exhilarating. That wasn't his current intention, however. It was time to make something of himself, and that meant Outlaw was going straight. He obligingly tipped his hat to the sheriff as he passed by. A voice sounded behind him. "You new here, buddy?" Outlaw turned his horse around. The sheriff had taken notice of him. Well, sparks. I hope I'm not recognized. "I've been roundabouts before," he answered in a voice laced with Western drawl, "But I haven't really made an impression in Salem yet." The sheriff grinned, then said in a mocking tone "Well, you're making quite an impression now, I'd say." He paused. "You've got to be an Epic, right?" Outlaw spat. "I don't need no sparking Indian magics to get an edge in a fight, if that's what you're asking." "So you're... not?" The sheriff blinked. "You do realize you're riding around on a sparking moose, right?" Moose? What? Outlaw was tempted to believe that this officer of the law had just insulted his mount. "You got a name, son?" The sheriff paused, then muttered something to himself about delusional Epics. "I'm Mouldbreaker, Chief Aide to Soulcaster, the Ruler of Salem. Got that?" Outlaw nodded. "I don't know if you plan to cause trouble here, but if you do, I suggest you save it for the fights. There are a lot of legends about this place, but the real Salem is a relatively stable town, and I'm authorized to maintain that stability by whatever means necessary, even if it means murder. You do know what transfersion is, right?" Outlaw appreciated the man's directness. "I reckon I do, Sheriff Breaker." "Well, let's just say that I can deliberately transfersate non-organic matter into a very powerful, very deadly substance, and if you start causing trouble, you will find yourself drowning in a pool of it." "Crystal clear, Sheriff. I do respect your authority here, so you've got nothin' to worry about." The Sheriff narrowed his eyes, as if trying to piece together Outlaw's intentions. "Well, we can get you into the fights if you're interested. Just go to the bar and write down your powerset. The prizes are good, and well worth it." "Good? Like fifty bucks and a free lunch good?" Breaker's face relaxed, and then he laughed. "More like everything you've ever wanted good. Keep heading down Main Street and you'll find that bar. I hope to see you in the Arena sometime."
  2. We have a WOB that states that Odium pretty much wets himself whenever he thinks about Harmony's level of power.
  3. So, in Salem, I think I'm going to introduce Mouldbreaker as an Epic who works for Soulcaster, if that's okay. I'll use Cutie Pie and Blasting Cap as NPC's and the perspective I'm writing from is an Epic named Desperado (who you'll understand pretty soon.)
  4. Here's a new Epic- Pops Power: He can sanitize and refill old soda bottles and bags of chips with the desired drink or snack. He can only recreate actual copyrighted snack products. Appearance: An old man with long, dark-grey hair and beard. Think Gandalf except with suspenders Obsessive Personality Flaw(s): Megalomania As can be imagined, Pops is a much sought-after Epic, both for practical and recreational reasons. He's willing to play a support role in most groups so long as he's given power later on
  5. I thought so because Araris was keeping his vote on me without stating a reason for doing so. I decided that it was probably because he was trying to unconditionally defend Orlok that cycle, which would have meant he was uniquely aligned with him. I was completely wrong, of course, and my wrongness this game is really starting to bum me out. That being said, I think I've made my thought process there pretty clear.
  6. Well, I wasn't necessarily gunning for a lynch in there. As you probably found in the PM, I'm pretty candid with my opinions when it's a 1-on-1 conversation (though I obviously wouldn't tell someone that I suspected them to their face, which is why this is probably coming out of left field for you.) Basically, I just told Wilson what I thought of Cycle 2, and I included what I thought about you. Looking at her posts, I think I might have not been completely clear on what I meant (for example, I mentioned phishing for roles when referring to what I perceived as an attempt to start an information network centered around you, but she apparently took it to mean you asked me my role, which you didn't.) The main reasons for my suspicion are, yes, what I interpreted as you attempting to get people to spread information through you, but also the fact that I was contacted for theories the cycle immediately after the Eliminators apparently killed someone who I had practically suggested as a target (but shouldn't have.) Also, the way you responded to my thoughts on the cycle sort of reminded me of the PM of you, me, and Meta in LG10 where you sort of quickly agreed to most of the explanations I suggested (that one's mostly circumstantial, though.) Perhaps most importantly, when I asked you if there was anybody "I could trust" (shamelessly trying to get names,) it took you over 2 hours after reading it to respond, which I kind of assumed was from you conspiring on the Doc as to how to manipulate me (ultimately, you responded moderately but evasively, which is what I expected no matter what your alignment was.) It's a lot of little things, all of which are circumstantial. My suspicions have wavered over the past few cycles, especially towards the end of Day Two, but at the time I wrote the PM to Wilson, I was about 70% sure (man, I am way too into percentages .) I tried to bait you into killing me by telling you early on that I was a pirate with a somewhat random hostage (which would have pretty much sealed the deal on your guilt, something I mentioned to Wilson,) but I ended up not dying. Wilson apparently decided to drive the lynch home once some other players started it, something I'm not necessarily opposed to... Let me assure you: If I end up being wrong, I will feel like a complete cremcake for starting this. For the third cycle in a row, however, I'm going to cast a last-minute vote. Maill As to Meta's concerns, I don't have a good answer to them. He brings up some good points, some of which I haven't even thought of myself. I would actually consider the one about me thinking Orlok was a lover to be half-decent grounds for lynching, if not suspicion, at the very least.
  7. Well, I only have my rusty lessons from High School Chemistry to guide me, so I assumed you would have to throw liquid water on it in order to set it off. In that case, let's make the statue out of Calcium. What? Are you going to say he's in danger of undergoing Helvetica Scenario now?
  8. Oh, it's creepy all right. My other plan for her was to have her live like a princess in some sort of fairy-tale castle out in the woods and have her boyfriend (a flying Epic) deliver her vanillas from nearby towns. It's like mixing Dr. Funtimes with the witch from Hansel and Gretel. Well, I like that, actually. Let's just say that that's what she did before Blasting Cap came by and killed the other guy
  9. Cutie Pie can turn any organic matter she's touching into piles of pastries (yes, that includes people.) Before you ask, she has absolutely lost her mind and does eat cakes and pies made out of vanillas she's "prepared." In fact, she prefers food made from people. Blasting Cap basically coughs up balls of organic explosives. He isn't immune to the explosions they cause but can turn himself into a large statue made of pure potassium (potassium. Yay!) Basically, they're a Bonnie and Clyde type couple who have been wandering around in the woods killing vanillas ever since they've met, but now they're in Salem and hope to win in the fights
  10. Actually, I'm not a fan of green Jell-O, so I'll say yes, he can.
  11. You know what? Forget it. I'm putting him in Salem. I'll also include Cutie Pie and Blasting Cap, the pair of Epics responsible for the craters of transferated jelly donuts mentioned in one of O-Crush's posts
  12. It would be a bit more specific than that, sort of like tensors but long range, but I suppose he could if he wanted to
  13. Well, it would exclude organics, of course, but yeah, just think about it: bullets and weapons would dissolve into blobs of green goo as soon as they approached him, he could transfersate the ground underneath peoples' feet and drown them... Plus: Free Jell-O! Unlimited Jell-O! Jell-O would litter the ground free for the taking after each and every one of his slaughters! Who cares if there's blood in it?
  14. I've never been too aware of the goings-on in Portland, so I wasn't quite sure if Backtrack was lying or not. All I know is that Frostfire randomly broke his nose when he was a bound captive. I was texting my cousin about this RPG, and he (as a joke, I think) told me that there should be an Epic that could turn anything within a 20-foot radius into green Jell-O. I responded that that was actually an extremely versatile ability and practically qualified as Prime Invincibility. I even gave him a great name: Mouldbreaker. I don't plan on creating him on the RPG, but I did come up with an Epic-rating system
  15. I actually felt pretty bad for Reader as I read the thread. Everyone was so cruel to him at the clinic. Sure, he was a little mean, but only when he was crossed.
  16. Well, except that Vapor Snake's squad is already written for... by Vapor Snake. I see him as sort of a rank-and-file soldier who leads a rank-and-file squad. He's interesting, but his main purpose is to provide a perspective on what The Dalles' finest are doing whenever something happens to the town. It's a perspective that was kind of missing during most of Day One, especially during the panda attack. Plus, there are, like, 2 vanilla perspectives right now in The Dalles (3 if you count the guy who apprehended Backtrack) so I think this will bring The Dalles a little bit back to its original intention of being more vanilla-centered (I feel bad for introducing another Epic, partially, now that I've realized just how many new Epics have been appearing on the outskirts of town)
  17. Well, what's his exact military rank? Does the National Guard still use the same ranks? The guy's name is going to be Mason Rubio, but he'd be referred to as __[rank]__ Rubio, so yeah. I'm just going to try to develop him the first time I write a post for him, though I have a vague idea in my mind. For one, I'm giving him a sweet goatee, so your facial hair woes are over
  18. Crush has to get picked up by the guys who take in Deathwish and brought to the clinic. Oh, by the way, I might introduce a vanilla character. What's Vondra's rank?
  19. I think that late bandwagons are just going to happen this game. The turnover time is slightly earlier than usual, which means it's relatively early in the night when we Americans hit it (about 10 PM for me.) People feel obligated to throw a vote onto somebody if they're on just before the cycle ends. Not to say that late-night bandwagons are a good thing, I'm just pointing out why they're happening right now.
  20. Good. You'll meet a whole bunch of Void-loving lamespren who think that Mistborn is the superior series, but stay true to your colors, man.
  21. I hope this isn't a deja vu moment, but I think I'll vote for Spencer, too. We have a lot of borderline inactives, but what sets him apart is that he's been relatively active in another place, signing up for Wyrm's "Heirs to the Final Empire" RP. Lightsworn is still on my list slightly. Wonko and Dowanx, the main targets today, are looking pretty innocent to me... Overall, I don't have any serious ideas for lynch, so I'll go with this EDIT: Aaand, Dowanx posts. I wasn't really responding to him, but whatever.
  22. At the clinic, which I will probably end up in soon.
