Shouldn't we put a bit of trust in each other and hope that no one will abuse 'insta-dodge' just because their sprint and agility stat is high? I mean, it's not like the purpose of the roleplay is killing one another. The purpose is defeating bosses and improving our characters (even when theres certain characters who whouldn't work well with the word together, heh). Putting too much stress on that type of subject is a quick way to become disinterested in the roleplay- I mean, even if you're doing it for the roleplay's good. If a problem arises regarding that, I'm certain the competent GMs will handle it swiftly, if it indeed becomes too problematic, I'm sure a way will be found of fixing it. But for now, let's just relax and try to trust that it won't be abused, we have nice players after all. It's not like this is a competition to show who's the most badass (if it was, I clearly won by far) or who's the strongest fighter and all that.

Agreed. When it comes down to it, this is a roleplay. We're not going to over complicate it and turn things into a number crunching fiasco - things can get very boring and frustrating quite quickly if we do that. Your stats are only a small part of what makes your character strong. When it comes down to it, it all depends on how well you write it out. Because that's what roleplaying is at it's root.

I'm pretty sure no ones going to take into calculation all of that... I think just do what feels right and believable?

[TheLonePup]

im sorry I'm just gonna shut up for the night... it seems I have hit the time where my brain over processes EVERYTHING... and in this state, I am seeing the average of speed/agility as the simplest thing in the world... but I've gotten accustomed to tabletop RPing over the last few months playing Call of Cthulhu... which of course teaches you to be afraid of literally everything.... even the other players because theres a damn good chance they'll go insane and try to kill you for no good reason.

so just ignore me from this post on, I'm gonna go try to get the thoughts I had for the IC into a coherent post and shove that out there for kylie to see whenever she gets back, and then im gonna go to bed...

@Alice - your profession stats are completely wrong. As a level 10, you get 300 points in total to distribute among all of your profession skills.

Your current total makes it 900 points. Please correct this as soon as possible.

You have 470 more points to use for your General stats

I hope to see your revised CS soon^^

Edit: You also have 4 healing crystals listed. please change this to three

[Lillium]

Alright everyone, brace yourself for a GM rant.

New rule:

From here on, please list your character's current items in a spoiler at the bottom of your posts.

You do not have to list inconsequential things such as specific monster loot (bat wings/beast hide etc) if that takes too much work. This is just so we can keep track of your healing items, teleport crystals and such. If you've run out of a potions, they do not magically appear in your next post. (For example, you're in the middle of dungeon and suddenly, potions just pop up in your inventory.) If you acquire new ones, please type out at least one sentence about how you got it. Healing/Antidote/Teleport crystals or potions do not drop in dungeons or from mobs. I'm aware that this will make things more difficult, but really. This is a death game. What's the point if healing items are popping up from everywhere? Use your items wisely~

Alright. Please add them after you've gotten some sleep, then.

[Shadowcatcher]

wow, you guys talked about alot of stuff. Though Lillium, may i ask one thing?

in regards to putting items at the bottom of posts, can that be simply for those in battle/outside where mobs spawn? the reason i ask is because if someone is in a safezone for example, wouldn't it be fine if they didn't add that to the bottom?

@Robo

after the boss raid, Kei will need to part ways with Siren and Kiyomi, that is unless you want to be a 'bad guy'.

[Lillium]

Okay *takes a deep breath* Third GM announcement of the day.

It seems that I need to step in and write down a bunch of rules for each and every little thing^^

Sword Skills.

Do NOT list more than one sword skill for your character. You are only level 15. You're obviously not going to have unlocked all the skills or even half of them. To unlock your second skill, you will need to discuss it with a GM and use an RP opportunity to do so. They aren't automatically transferred to your brain just because you waved your sword around.

Now, to make this very clear.

Everyone gets one sword skill by default. To unlock your second one, you have to be level 15 and get GM permission for it. Write out an exciting quest or mini boss fight. Make it something worthwhile. And hey, if you're lucky, character development! These skills are something you have to work hard for.

And yes, before the ranting starts, I know that the skills listed in the wiki are unbalanced. One handed sword users get a bajillion while Dagger users get two. I assure you that we will fix this problem by... creating new skills when it comes to that. All good? Happy? Great^^

Those of you who have listed sword kills, please go update your CS.
Just call me Lili, Assassin of Fun

It would be fine, but I'd still like it if you did. Helps to keep track of them. Easier to do when needed than scrolling back every time to your last post which listed the items.

[Shadowcatcher]

okay. i understand and agree with you. i'll have Kiyomi stop off and buy some items before the meeting, then i'll list it at the bottom. upon leaving the safezone, i'll start keeping it at the bottom.

that said...should i make a post about Kiyomi's dream or just wait until it hits -the next day-? either is fine....i just feel like half the IC posts belong to me... ^^;

Thank you c:

If you feel like posting, go for it! I like how Kiyomi's turning out.

"Will she become a misguidedly tragic hero? Or the sort of villain that invokes empathy and understanding? Read on for this exciting new development!"

[Shadowcatcher]

@lillium

i think i ended up using/giving away all Kiyomi's crystals and one potion. but other than crystals, what would be like, key items to list?

edit: okay i used all three healing crystals and one healing potion. i forgot antidote crystals/potions were different than healing ones

haha and im glad to know you support Kiyomi's position ^^ i think i might drag Alice's character into it as well. When i suggested it she seemed excited about it. lol

i see many collabs in the future XD

[Shadowcatcher]

i posted ^^

[Lillium]

That dream was very touching. A little more insight into Kiyomi's mind, hm?

Nice post! *hugs*

[Shadowcatcher]

thank you! *hugs back* i was hoping you guys would like it ^^

[Toaw]

I don't have a problem with the fact that the one handed sword users have a lot more skills then me, but i would like to know what the two skills they did list do as they aren't mentioned on the wiki...

[TheLonePup]

I was thinking about making up a couple abilities for dagger that revolve around crippling and DOT effects seeing as daggers are normally meant for causing crippling damage rather than straight up killing in combat.

Like have one called "hamstring" where you slash at the target's legs to decrease their movement speed...

Or lacerate where you slice at the enemy's arteries and cause them to take bleeding damage over time.

And I wanna say again that I'm sorry for the minor insanity I showed last night... I haven't been up that late in a loooong time >.> forgot how loopy I get when tired... That tends to be when I get my best ideas though as lillium got to see >.>

Did I miss anything uber important in the last three pages of ooc?

You did. Three GM announcements.

Read from page 29 on wards. Or. Read the very first page. I've added most GM announcements to it.
