[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Lugubrious]

@Lugubrious I know I won the contest but is there any criticism you can offer me or anything you especially liked? I am attempting to improve my writing so feedback both positive and negative is important.

Did we receive three credits for our mission at the Shelter? Cause I'm adding up my total from the contests and my calculations show I should have ten credits while the doc says I have thirteen.

@Prince of Seraphs

I'll take another look at the entries and let you both know.

Yes, we received those credits.

And that is exactly why everyone is telling you Ebon is overpowered. The Ogdoad is a Riesen Class Grimm. No one is supposed to be able to defeat it on there own without five years of Beacon training and a great deal of field experience. The last Riesen Class that was encountered in this RP took a god damn tank to deal with it.

Also it has a bit of an obsession with devouring his R-Types so avoiding being targeted might not be an option.

@Prince of Seraphs

Doesn't mean Ebon can't try. Besides, defeating the Ogdoad is mostly secondary: he's after the daggers. Unless they're inside the monster itself I figured Ebon could try to use his R-Types to distract it and use one or two to scourer the lake bed for her daggers. The fact that everyone else might also be helping fighting it just makes things easier.

Quick question about the new contest:

I'm assuming you're wanting us to make new CSes, in which case what fields do you want and do you need stuff like Backstory added to it?

[Ryonara]

Figures. Ebon is still there so if any of the swimmers want to try to talk strategy they should do so before Ebon decides to try on his own. I'm not just going to let him serve as a distraction. I'd also appreciate it if his R-Types don't just get one-shotted for the sake of giving everyone else a chance. They aren't so slow that they can't avoid an attack, especially not the ones that have a radar for better perception.

Uh crud I'll go and put in a sheet.

@Ryonara

The Ogdoad isn't stupid enough to go above water without a good reason. While in the water he has the advantage and his perception of water flow is more accurate than an Ogdoad's natural sight. The R-Types are easily slow enough to snag on his barbed tongue once under the water. Besides I thought you had a couple hundred of them, what's four or five lost.

[Ryonara]

The R-Types aren't that big; certainly smaller and would produce less drag then the others. Even if the Ogdoad is focusing on them, with Ebon's undivided attention on the R-Types themselves they're still fairly agile, even underwater.

The reason I'm being nitpicky about this is because I don't want people to think that just because he can swarm most people with superior numbers that he's just going to wastefully throw them all away. Having a hundred R-Types doesn't mean anything if they're just heading straight for the grinder.

@Lugubrious Could we have some more time for the Ogdoad/Dagger mission and to actually get out into Vale and party. I mean when we have missions on Fridays we usually get anywhere upwards of a month to complete them, it has been nine days since the party/dagger mission started. This is off the cuff IC inspired interaction. I think we should give it a little more time to grow and develop. There's only so many kinds of interacting and bonding you can do on a mission. Usually coming down to "I trust you to make this decision for the crew" or "we had each other's backs in that fight, our social link raised to level three". I think the spontaneous let's hang out as a large group thing should be given more time simply because it is not governed by any sort of rules. Literally anything could happen.

Does anyone involved in the dagger retrieval mission want to collab the rest of it?

@Prince of Seraphs

Starting up a group PM and Titanpad.

[Krayzikk]

I could get behind PoS' suggestion as well, largely because BASL's barely out the door.

We're productive.

I swear.

Don't you f***king lie to us.

[Crimmy]

Tfw your use of symbolism in writing can't be understood.

None of you permanently killed off characters.

Come on man, there were crematory urns for all the members of VGNB, and one last one for Gratia at the end.

@Crimmy

See I thought that the urns were the ashes of the dead teammates until there was a forth one and I spent the rest of the story wondering who else that had died would be put in the Vignoble dorm room.

[Lady Seraphina]

Watching Brave right now, must download soundtrack.

[Lugubrious]

People complain we aren't moving fast enough or doing anything exciting, so I suggest we go to missions, but then people aren't done interacting and don't know how to interact during missions. How am I supposed to win!?

I could give a few days?

[Onarax]

I think the problem is that complaints are levied towards classes and stuff.

The sort of natural interaction going on outside of classes is actually fun.

Might be a strange suggestion, but we could always just have the knife mission end in a collab as they suggested and move on to missions in the IC? Might make timing seem strange, but it would get the RP moving in a way you suggested earlier and still allow the affected parties to finish the knife mission?

@Write

The knife mission isn't the only thing on the line. We'd also like to have our party night in central Vale.
