    Does this mean if I ask a question in music (using solresol) it has to be answered in music? And, I'll sign up as Nelek.

    Mirror's Edge is one of my favourite games of all time and one of the only games I have played to completion multiple times over. It is fantastic, and as cheap as it is right now, buy it.

    The coolest. Without a doubt. (Though Elsecallers are still better :D)

    A system is like the rules you're playing by, so like D&D or Pathfinder. If you're using a homebrew, which it seems you are, could I get like, a brief outline of the rules and stuff? Sounds good to me What would the rules for the Willshapers look like?

    @Assassin in Burgundy I have some questions as well Namely: What system are we using? (D&D, GURPS, Generic D20, homebrew, etc.) Where are we going to be playing? and What class would I be?

    If there's still a spot, can I be an Edgedancer? I think you said 5. EDIT: Actually I mean, I guess I can be any order needed.

    Currently learning how to play it as well. Really nice bass line to it.
  8. AliasSheep
    Yeah that's kinda how I played it. There are definitely ways through that avoid all people, some pretty fun ones too.
  9. AliasSheep
    How are you playing it?

    So I spent most of last week reading Scott Pilgrim multiple times. Which was pretty awesome.

    So the teams, at least Dinosaur Team, are turning into voting blocs. A point in Meta's favour I'd say. But, the more interesting thing is, why did @Alvron pull the lynch off Meta? I'm sure there could be a benign reason behind it, but, you know, paranoia and stuff. @Magestar, Orlok's reflect is probably a night attack only ability, and Alv's evade is probably a lynch only ability
  12. AliasSheep
    Which Pokémon did Alv say he had? Digi something or whatever? I don't think it's likely that multiple people would have the same one, is it?

    My latest book haul consists of: The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks A Hydrogen Sonata by Iain M. Banks Hyperion by Dan Simmons And Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson The culture series is definitely going to be my next port of call after I read the rest of the Kim Stanley Robinson books I have.

    @Magestar, basic roles can do damage to 2/3 of other basic roles. I'd call that danger, though whether the “not very effective ” damage is a danger is of course debateable. And yeah, they are being weird. I blame mobile. @Amanuensis Yay vote tally <3
  15. AliasSheep
    Right. I'm not even going to try quoting on mobile. @Eolhondras, I'd like to address some of the points you raised in your response to Meta. First, you claim that without factions, the game would have no intrigue. The whole Pokémon mechanic kinda defeats this in that the game is not about picking people off one by one, but instead finding out who has which Pokémon in order to maximise efficiency. Otherwise you're likely to just die. And given the lack of PMs, alliances don't increase the information, and if anything decrease it, as you don't find out what Pokémon your team have, which means you're going to struggle when your team is all that's left. Meta raises a valid criticism of the alliances as voting blocs. I imagine the non aggression isn't going to last very long either. You also downplay the power a bloc of 5 people has. The largest minority is still the biggest group, and a fifth of the village is a large fraction. Being able to direct the vote in such a way, quite naturally, would make a player not therein uncomfortable. You also seem to misrepresent what Meta meant by favouritism. From what I can tell, he was referring to what happens once the alliance begins to fall apart, at which point favouritism decides who lives and who dies. Who is allowed to join is irrelevant. I'd even argue that having a blanket invitation could be cover for tricking players into one sided non aggression, increasing some players' information about their teammates, at said teammates' expense. That all being said, I agree with you about Meta dividing the village, but in this kind of game, it might be better that way, due to the issues I mentioned earlier. I haven't played a factionless game, so I'm not sure, but the lack of formalization of factions makes them easily exploitable. Anyway @Magestar, I'm sure it was just an offhand thing, but your statement about not being a danger to anyone at the moment makes me think you have an unown role, given all basic roles are effectively a threat to 2/3 of players. And with that out of the way, I'm also going to declare myself Neutral. I'm of course willing to work with people to the ends of increasing information, but I'm not going to join any non aggression pacts. (Also all this talk of Non aggression pacts (NAPs ) just reminds me of Ayn Rand D:< (NAP also stands for non aggression principle, and they sound similar and stuff)).

    Can I join as Ash, a 10 year old adamant that he was not named after “that childish TV show” (but we all know he was really.) Also, by Unknown Pokémon...
  17. AliasSheep
    That... yes, I need to change that I kind of disagree with you on this on a rather fundemenetal level, and it would feel really weird to me to have my character that's cast off their gender (along with all other aspects of their identity) using a gendered pronoun. Thank you I can probably make that a bit clearer, yeah. In essence, it's a close friend of Cael who they "need" to kill in order to get power which they use to attack Teylan with, who's there for... arbitrary reasons that I didn't really think through Thanks for your criticism, I'll be sure to keep it in mind when I go back to edit it

    Hey! This is my first thing submitted to the writing group, so first things first, I hope you enjoy. Secondly, specifically interested in whether you think the combat scene fit, and whether the length was appropriate, and also your opinion on the scene after Death kills the first guy, whether that was too long, and how, disturbing, you found it. Thanks!
  19. AliasSheep
    You're very insistent about being Detained. Do you think you're in danger or something....?
  20. AliasSheep
    I've been quiet for a while now. I was on a school trip and the game kind of got out from under my feet and now I'm not sure how to catch up, meaning I haven't really read anything. No, I haven't been Corrupted.
  21. AliasSheep
    Can I join the spec doc?
  22. AliasSheep
    I just finished A Memory of Light. Wow. Not sure what to read next, but it's looking to be between Red Mars, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Steelheart. But just wow.
  23. AliasSheep
    Can I get a slot for the week after next (I think next week is full up)?
  24. AliasSheep
    I detained Meta last night. To be honest, I was exhausted and wanted to do something, so kind of a low-reasoning decision.
  25. AliasSheep
    Starting A Memory of Light. Hype!
