[JessieTargaryen]

@Jasonhero

it's been three days u cunt

[JessieTargaryen]

@Ammokkx I know, I really apologize guys. I just remembered I had a project due literally tomorrow so I have also been dedicating my soul to that.

[Mr Rage]

No worries yo, do whatcha need to do!

[DarkRecon]

I'm still here all. Just waiting for an update post wise. Just sorry I don't chat here often.

I'm also deciding to...well...I've been thinking about alot of plot devices for now Maria. one of which is facing her past decision while with the Helldivers in some shape or form.

I did metion through Maria when she spoke to Elora through her minds eye that she did "dirty work" when with the Helldivers sometimes. One plot was that at some point in the past, security breaches allowed "doomsayers" to highjack frameworks and simply cause tons of collateral damage to dealing with "CULLING" frameworks.

Just saying that now that her mind is stable, those decisions may start to affect her.

Hell, she may even joke to Ariin about perhaps sharing a prison cell with him someday because of her past actions so...yeah weird as it sounds, chance relationship there. Even more so she she and Jake helped him recover from the Paladin/Ariin mind switch.

[Apollosarcher]

@DarkRecon If we live long enough for prison.

Also, I'm going to see about a post soon.

[Ariamis]

Final IRL update: depending on how I manage to get my work finished, expect a post on Sunday or Monday. Again, sorry for all the delays.

@Ariamis

I'm not complaining. This stuff's so low-maintenance it's basically a stress-free RP.

[Mr Rage]

I'm not gonna lie, I would like it if this RP was faster, but in the end, this isn't the slowest RP I have ever been involved in and I would rather not sacrifice quality in order to speed it up. You know? Plus, obviously, RL comes first. Lastly, I am crazy stupid busy for the next week and a half anyway, so I am not sure that if there was a post to respond to, that I would respond to it next day like I usually do... Though I still pop on and check every single day.

@Ammokkx@Apollosarcher@SillyGoy@Evil Snowman@Dragoknighte@Mr Rage@DarkRecon@Jasonhero@redbaron1234@ArkmageddonCat

Forgot to mention you guys about the list.

[Dragoknighte]

Oh boy that's a lot of shit. Hopefully the next mission won't take so long, lest we finish this RP when we're octogenarians.

[Mr Rage]

So, maybe a stupid question, but I imagine the XP doesn't gather beyond 100? We have seen it possible in sync, so I thought I would ask to double check.

[Ariamis]

@Mr Rage
Well, I never planned for anyone to get past 100 in a major way in terms of experience, but I guess I could add stretch goals, like for attaining 200 you get something.

[Dragoknighte]

At 200 Experience you can drift your Framewerk perfectly while looking for where you left your smokes.

[Apollosarcher]

Well, I updated Ariin, still an amazingly balanced pilot.

Experience: 88%

Synchronization Rate: 86%

[Evil Snowman]

Okay have had a proper look and have a quick question
@Ariamis Working my new lower Sync rate. Do I count the Like a Big Sister one. As I got it before losing 20% to the god dam scream or just factor it in. I know it only 3% but I want to make sure but the right percentage down. As it ether 90% or 93%. Provided I did my math right.

Also going to take the chance to say love list the names you put for the events gave me a good laugh.

[Mr Rage]

@Ariamis Ok, either is fine. I'll keep mine as 100 (114) as I gained 14 experience this last round. Of course I actually lost sync despite Zim's gains in how he looks at Black Star, but that is still in development, so it is what it is, I'll get it all back and then some.

@Evil Snowman I just did mine linear. It's all addition and subtraction, so it doesn't really matter which one happens first or not, especially for sync, seeing as the scale goes beyond 100, even, apparently, to unlimited numbers. (The Sync is OVER 9000! Can't wait for that to happen) At least, that was how I did it.

[Ariamis]

@Evil Snowman
Only the end result caps at 100 (for now), so it's 93.

@Mr Rage
Zim had the most active Synch fluctuation on the front lines, which I found to be very interesting. He's very gung-ho and tends to get in trouble, but he's also constantly mindful of his Framewerk despite that.
