[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Lady Seraphina]

Hey @Prince of Seraphs, are you the one who keeps changing my credits on the conference doc? Lugubrious said:

@Guess Who

Lugubrious is not the antagonist for that mission so it's not his decision how many credits you get and if you read the rest of that conversation you'd realize that I mistook how the scale was graded and which way meant harder and which meant easier. If I had understood it correctly I would have say it was more like a C-ranking then the A you gave yourself. That would be worth 2 credits but that is neither my decision nor Lugubrious. You need to ask @Multi_Media_Man how many credits he thought your performance warranted. It's the reason we have antagonists, so we don't get people giving themselves credits willy nilly cause they've been saving up for something.

[Sho Minazuki]

So that's like, 3 credits @Guess Who?

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

Frankly, I'm going to give them a B on that one. I intended to go full-S, but after seeing how much the other missions (looking at you, Lucius, you sunuva) played out, I realized I went a little too easy, despite bringing in Banesaw.

Also, with how borked everything got with the titanpad and Daniel's disappearance halfway through, there was no way I could go all-out. It wouldn't have been fair for the first mission.

So, TL;DR that mission gets a B. Three credits.

[Lucius Cypher]

Thank you, thank you, I like bringing suffering to my playthings players.

[Lady Seraphina]

Dance monkey's dance.

[Agent B52]

Now I'm curious what MODA's mission is going to be worth. I'm guessing A rank, not so much because of the enemies involved but due to other difficulties (blatantly incorrect intelligence, hostage situation, and [SPOILER]).

[Lucius Cypher]

[Agent B52]

It's an honest question, not a complaint. I'm enjoying the challenge myself.

[Forsythe]

It begs the question whether we should still put up mission rating on the roster if it's going to be developed in any way whatsoever regardless of what was written there xD

[Lady Seraphina]

I think the ones on the roster are expected ranks but things can develop unexpectedly.

[Abillioncats]

A for effort!

[Lady Seraphina]

SSS for effort.

[Forsythe]

@Prince of Seraphs

I would have said to be more of a topol to help develop a character in the boundaries you want. Hard to play a coward-ish character (looking at you Jaune) if every C mission gets turned into A regardless of what you do and not having said character die horribly.

[Lucius Cypher]

Truth be told I didn't really bother with the rank system myself. I just figured I'd work up a scenario and see how you all handle it. Admittedly, I do tailor some of my missions to not only ensure that those involved can do something which allows them to shine, but also situations were they have to think outside the box (Of their abilities) if they want a good end.

Additionally I also see the ranks as what the administrators of Beacon think the difficulty is, not necessarily what actually occurs. An example if y'all would remember would be way back in the beginning of Naruto where team 7 has to escort that bridge builder. I think that was a D or C rank mission? However things turned out to be really complicated and elevated things to at least an A rank mission. Similar instance. It's not that all my low rank missions are actually really tough ones in disguise, but if that's how the wind blows...

[Abillioncats]

I didn't know Gren had begonias.

[Lucius Cypher]

Why did you think he went to the gardens? To hunt down meat? No. But he does have a secret stash of mozzarella being persevered in brine near the gardens. He'd have to see if the tomatoes are finished growing before he makes himself a poor salad, since I doubt Beacon also grows basil.

Of course if Emmy wants to bring some snacks, that would be fine too...

[Lady Seraphina]

Is anyone else planning on making a contest entree? Chances are you'd win second place. Maybe even first if it's more interesting then Lug's.

[Forsythe]

Not this time although the premise is interesting. Had to focus on other sutff this week and now i need to breathe xD

[Guess Who]

<Snipped quote by Guess Who>

Who was the antagonist for that mission? They decide whether the mission was difficult enough to be worth 4 credits.

@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN

Alright, that makes sense. If someone hasn't already done so then I'll change it to 8 total.

I made a contest entree.
