z-Infinity Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 There was no movement in this, and it'd be a shame to have it die. Since we're doing a volleyball game, and I think that no one is sure how to proceed, I'd like to suggest that we use this thread to determine who gets on what team and who if anyone wins. Then the next person to post adds that in their post and the game is done. Does that sound good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptesan-Wi Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Works for me. PW would stick fairly close to Phaethon and far from Citronic, but bet on her trying for the team that has Raijin on it (we gods gotta stick together). She's not a dreadful player - decent Dex and Athletics - but she's definitely out of the league of the 5/5 physical-oriented types, so she's likely to not be a net asset for her team.

SkyLion Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 We also should discuss how and what powers may or may not be used if thats even an option. Also I know I owe some posts here but it was a busy weekend of working and long dark nights, Will put it on my to do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptesan-Wi Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I think most had agreed IC'ly to not use powers. If that's not the case, bet on PW TK-spiking the ball a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Preston Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm there, just reffing the game. For those moving faster than the speed of thought, please remember Neil has a big "8" dice in Awareness, no Megas, so he might have trouble with some of the awesome plays.

SkyLion Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I can't see that it would be "in character" for either Raijin or Nodespark to just play volleyball. They are both a bit uptight albeit in totally distinct ways. They might take some convinving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 El will join either team. Just don't make the birthday girl last pick. Also, keep in mind that a volleyball will only stand up to so much damage before it is ruined. That's ok though, I'm sure they have lots of volleyballs.

z-Infinity Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 I suggest: MechPWKatsuroNodesparkPhaevs. RaijinInfinityElspethStanleySky, assume please, that they can be persuaded by the birthday girl (it would be rude to deny the host ). The reasoning for this is htat Raijin and Stan are pretty physical, while Infi and El isn't; the other five have three pretty physical with one who doesn't know the rules and two non-physicals.Thoughts?

z-Infinity Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Sky, we really don't need to overanalyze this. Really. Let's just get the fiction rolling again. While we sit here and crunch numbers, the fiction doesn't get worked on. Forget the numbers. Let's wing it. I mean, in real life, they wouldn't get to compare stats; they'd just divide the teams as best they could and try to have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptesan-Wi Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm not doing a sex-scene in the party fic. I'm not doing a sex-scene in the party fic. And... in case there was any question, I'm not doing a sex-scene in the party fic.You may safely assume that if necessary, PW activates Iron Will and resists Raijin. That said, PW was already half-running toward the water when she slid out of her tunic; her focus is on a swim in the ocean, not on Thunder God's Mr. Happy (which should, in theory, be at least several meters behind her). I'd recommend - strongly, for the sake of something resembling decency if nothing else - that Raijin get himself and his giant tubesnake into the water, as the scene of him standing there on the beach in full salute whilst she dashes off diving into the surf is kinda... well, crudely comical comes to mind. Or - considering that nobody has reacted as yet to the, um, fullness of the post, that you perhaps edit out the engorged bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtney Adams Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hehe... you said 'tubesnake'.Seriously, I agree. There's ways of portraying sexuality that don't rely on assaulting innocent bystanders with Monty the Python. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyLion Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Who said anything about a sex scene? Raijin is a randy god of thunder, and he is unashamed of his impulses. He flew up next to PW and can fly into the water. I never said he was standing on the beach. However comment is duly noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptesan-Wi Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 OK, so I've officially hit a mental block. I have exactly no idea how to convey what the hell PW and Raijin would say. Can we assume that they yammer at each other about megalomanical godhood shit off-camera for a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Suggestion: Compare your views on your duties to your people. PW seems more a hands-on goddess, with Raijin being hands off. It'd be cool to see them discuss that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The way she trailed off led Raijin to believe she wanted to talk about Waki. He made it clear he was willing to listen. I don't think we should gloss over a juicy conversation. Maybe it's time for the Ptesan-Wi to open up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyLion Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Just thought I would mention, for those Elites still reamaining on the Island, like the one PW is talking to...that whole area is now shrouded in a *very* thick Fog, courtesy of Raijin.I didn't make a roll but on Average we are talking a +11 difficulty to any sight based perception rolls into the area, which I did lessen to merely encompass the invaders rather than the whole island like he is capable of.

Netherworld Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 The effects would most likely affect the next round of actions, as you just started spewing the fog. I would also like a ST ruling as to whether Quantum Awareness would be affected by the Weather Manipulation technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Fog takes effect in the round one uses it...there is no delayt and we are talking uber mastery level. And no Weather Manip wound not affect Q Attune outside of the fact that you would see that it is Raijin who is the one altering the weather. Don't need a mod to tell you that.

Netherworld Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 It is not the enhancement Quantum Attunement. It is the level 4 power Quantum Awareness. I was speaking in terms of actions already declared for the same round. If it would make you feel better, we can ALL edit our posts to reflect an instantaneous fog bank, clap of thunder, and intimidation attempt that appears at almost the exact moment everyone makes their actions. For some we are talking about a 3 point difference in initiative against someone who is doing a multiple action. A multiple action in which 3 die are subtracted from the first, 4 from the second, and 5 from the third. (The Intimidation is considered an action- look at the example on pg. 110). I don't think the Mods remembered to factor that into the equation, because your Intimidation sucesses were made off a dice pool of 11, when it should have been 6.

SkyLion Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I still don't see how weather manip would affect Q Awareness. Editing post is I think is hardly necessary but regarldess of dice pools he is still going to create thick fog in the space of an instant. I just wanted people to take it into account since its happening by the time they act. It is almost simul you are right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
