In my honest opinion, I don't really think any of your posts have been tardy, Corp. Nor anyone's for that matter. This RP has been remarkably fast paced as far as posting goes. At this rate, we may be well over 100 by the end of the month....

Anyways... just a heads up for everyone: I won't be posting tomorrow because I'm going to be rollercoastering with some buds all day. So do try to behave yourselves.

....Is she/he gone?

WOOOOT

PAAARTTAAAAAYYYY

Of course, that doesn't mean we can't post. I may even make a new character soon.

On another note I am going to be traveling starting tomorrow, but where I am I will have internet access and there should be no disruption.

That was a kind of absurdly high amount of money.. I don't think that many people would pay that many rupees for that long. Sure, maybe you had 23 people, and maybe it lasted for 73 minutes, but I doubt you'd have had 23 people for all 73 minutes. That would be a serious crew. And mean you're about to get robbed.

10 rupees a minute?

Try 10 rupees an hour.

Or 10 rupees to join the dance circle. Heck, I highly doubt everyone even bothered to pay-- there were probably plenty of people that would just start dancing for a bit with everybody and then leave. It's not like he had a studio or a stand he was dancing at, so unless he was being really stingy and shooing away every dance move moocher, he'd have far less than that. Nobody in their right mind would pay that much money to dance for a minute and I'd prefer the inhabitants of Hyrule kingdom not be dubbed as complete idiots... and rich idiots no less.

Feel free to rework his math or else I can't promise a thief won't "bump" into him and then disappear with a very fat wallet...

Well... uh... this... shouldn't have come as a surprise :< He said that since the beginning, ten rupees a minute. I feel a bit upset that you ask me to change it now when you hadn't had an issue with it before. By all means, have a thief swipe it away, whatever. If you have a problem with the prices I have for Jira then please tell me before I carefully calculate everything so that nothing would be unexplained. And that was your rule, that nothing should be unexplained or else this would happen. In this case, everything was explained, so excuse me if I feel that is a bit unfair. Again, whatever. Have a thief run off with it.

Well, I think that situation resolved itself in the IC... Oh, and by the way,

GUYS. GUYS. I FOUND MILA IN REAL LIFE. JUST WATCH THE VIDEO.



I made Mila as a character back before the Guild went down. This video came out just last month.

...Can you guys and gals be honest with me for a second? ...Am I in the Matrix?

Sigh. So it would seem it has.

Him just saying that and all those people actually forking over that kind of money are two entirely different things....

You also never made any mention of him collecting money whilst teaching them to dance and also beatboxing. I didn't say you can't have him sell at those kinds of prices. I'm saying it's illogical to think that many people would fall for such a scam and also illogical to think he'd be able to teach his dance while collecting money every 60 seconds, assuming people didn't want to just jump in during the middle of his "lesson". I'm sorry that you had to do all that math for nothing, but it's not my fault if you didn't logically consider how people tend to handle money on a regular basis. If he was capable of making that kind of money in one hour, I don't think he'd still be a simple merchant like he is.

Having a thief swipe from him really wouldn't be all that farfetched either. Especially if they're watching a guy like Jira rake in that much cash whilst, if you REALLY want to get technical, lugging around all that stuff you put in his inventory. I already had the discussion about carrying stuff. While Jira may be able to carry all that, it's unlikely he'd be all that fast with it on his person (if even able to dance at all). If he's got a wagon or cart with him, you never made mention of it.

And I haven't even gotten into the fact that your character just skipped ahead an hour whilst it's only been like ten minutes for everyone else. After 30 minutes (at most!), everyone who witnessed the light would probably have moved on, so he would have lost his main lead, which was "Ohh! Spooky light means danger! Better dance!" I mean, unless these supremely overpriced dance sessions are something he does on the regular. (In which case I refer, again, to my statement about how he shouldn't even be having to peddle his own wares with that kind of money. Heck, he probably wouldn't even have to pick his own nose-- he'd be the richest man in Hyrule.)

I'm going to be making a small interaction post tomorrow morning. I am saying this because I will regret not making it the proper length.

It's resolved itself anyways. Sorry to be such a damn bother.

Honestly, I was slightly tempted to have Magus rob our dancing fool. Stupid people shouldn't have money.

Oh joy... passive aggression. Note to self: next time don't give people courtesy warnings when they decide not to follow my rules (Rule #2: It's your responsibility to be logical and think before you post-- not mine.) Whatever. Let's move on. And Ops, don't beat the dead horse.

Everyone, I'll have a post up tomorrow.

Corpy Corp: That totes reminds me of Mila... although I imagine her to be a bit more articulate. I mean, considering she's roughly 10 times that little girl's age. Haha....

Reap, I'll note that I usually take your side, but, you did kind of deserve this one. Saying you're charging that much is one thing, that many people falling for it is another. Just because the GM is fine with you charging that much doesn't mean he's fine with that many people falling for it for that long.

When you make a post that doesn't fit, and the GM tells you why, accept it and move on with a gracious smile. Give yourself one post worth of debate if you absolutely must, if that too be refuted, accept it without bitterness.

Bitterness destroys you. Not the people you're bitter at.

I think we can leave this whole business behind us and come out a little bit wiser. No use in beating a dead horse.

On another note, I must admit that I am taking a cue or two from Sherlock with Cain's personality and abilities. Analytic, brilliant, manipulative. Hopefully will make up for him not having a corporeal body. I trust that I'm not being too metagamey with my deductions? My general plan is for Cain to have an educated guess about what's going on, but also include other possibilities and a few mistakes to avoid just always knowing everything, which is not fun for anyone.

I don't think that metagamed anything...

Hey everybody, make sure you're updating your character's inventory with things they acquire/lose. And make sure you use exact numbers. (i.e. 5 apples, 20 sunflower seeds, 10 Deku Nuts, 9 condoms)

Just to be clear, Magus hasn't arrived at the graveyard yet. He is merely on route there.

How many additional characters can we make again?

Mila's inventory has been edited to reflect changes, along with her post. The little event where she was pushed and shoved around was everyone rushing to the small mountain of Rupees being spilled, if anyone was curious, although it's not explicitly stated.

Your go, Axel, although I don't think that Magus would still be there when Elder Lyontus arrived... but I bet he has questions as to why the Kokiri child is brewing up some homemade explosives.

EDIT: Almost forgot. Something I didn't state before, and I hope it's okay that I threw it in there, but a "Tumbleweed" would be a Kokiri slur for another Kokiri who leaves the forest. It is not a kind word.

"Tumbleweed"

Lulz. Das cute.
