Dave ST Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Just a reminder: the deadline for the game is next Monday. What that means is I'll be declaring the chosen PCs and doing the opening posts next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjorkk Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Damnable Internet has been 30-seccond intermitent for almost a week. Gonna get that sheet in, but it's gonna be a photo finish. I'll understand if that's undesirable in a PBP game, but still gotta try. So few PBP scion games ever happen, and the internet on my island is too intermittent to play skype/irc games. ,, Preview: Adopted scion of Quetzalcoátl. His birth father (Baldur) disowned him under the norse tradition of wyrd because the divine beauty in his blood manifested as a divinely ugly birth defect. That same birth defect, however, happened to be a sign of Quetzalcoátl's favor to a particular mezo tribe. Managed to half-overcome being deformed and different trough athletics, but still has a chip on his shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadya Lunălescu Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 That's rough, man. Hope you get the submission in on time. What some people with internet issues do is write up the Character/Background in Word or something, then Cut-and-Paste into the PM. Hopefully a 30 second window will give you enough time to get the submission in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably just missing a connection somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjorkk Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 a: The internet here is only bad during certain seasons (wet, muggy, stormy season.) b: I was talking about the aspect of Wyrd in which the internal spiritual strength and nobility is reflected in the physical perfection of a man. It's old, even by Norse standards, but I figured that Baldur would have a soft spot for that aspect of the tradition, being the most beautiful of the Aesir. ,, And I got it in, with 23 minutes to spare by east coast standards. Again, this weather and subsequent internet connection can't last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you recommend the sources you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjorkk Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 A rant from a history professor my junior year of college about one of the kings of Norway Harald Fairhair from Dr Bastien at Clark University. Also, Baldur might just be an asshole about looks... the Aesir are kind of dicks... well nearly all the gods are sort of dicks. ,, ,, Edit: now that I think about it he was an English professor, but he sure talked a lot about history... it's been a while.

Dave ST Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Well, for those who haven't heard, a deer ran out in front of me last night and decided to rework the entire front end of our car. That has left us with no vehicle to get to and from work so I'm a bit on edge. ,, That said I've gone through the submissions and I've decided on 4 characters. I wish I could say 5 or even 6, but at the moment I think I'm going to go with 4 to help keep my stress levels down until RL finds a way to balances itself out. ,, The 4 characters are: ,, 1. Ian Goldburg 2. Gabe Meadow 3. Nadya Lunarbaby 4. Ericka Clarke ,, If you are one of those 4, please take some time to add your character sheet to a spoiler box in the signature section of that character's account. Trim the fat a bit if you could, I don't need their life story there, just the meat and potatoes of their statistics in case I have to look them up in the heat of a post. ,, I do hope to add a fifth character soon, but for right now I want to take it slow and see the game take off and move forward despite the setbacks life is throwing at us. ,, The game name will Scion: Living Legends. I'll have an OOC thread up soon and the first post either today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ST Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Nadya, you're getting upgraded. ,, Your rival is being upgraded from 'Mercedes Lexington' mortal pain in your ass, to 'Mercedes Rhodes', demigod pain in your ass. ,, Congratulations!

Nadya Lunălescu Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Joy! ,, But now I don't have to play fair... ,, ... not that I ever intended to. Cheating is just a vulgar way of saying someone has an imaginative reinterpretation of the rules. ,, Noted the change in my sig and the PMed character sheet.

Dave ST Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Corbin will be a means of allowing you to have a minor guide closer to the PCs age that understand a bit what they might be going through. Also as a means of someone they can talk to and learn things 'on the go', instead of always being in the library talking to Mr. Syracuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ST Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'm going to be updating the game on Monday. You guys have 48 hours to say what you wanna say or figure out who's going to post first or whatever it is you're waiting on. If you have RL hang ups, that's cool, I understand. Please, if you do, at least let us know with a simple OOC 'RL has me hung up' post so we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Meadow Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Apparently, I and Asa were both waiting on others to go. But now I am going, the die went evens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I've been struggling with what to reply but shall do so today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ST Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 If you don't know what to reply with that's cool. I don't want you to force a reply if you're coming up blank. We can always use his previous action as a default for his next action or just let us know OOC: "Guy, I got nothing, skip me this turn." ,, That way I don't feel like I'm blowing by people. If I can 'set up' someone for a reply I will, I don't mind doing it. Sometime I have to wait until have replied and I feed of an idea or statement they used as inspiration. It happens.

z-Ian Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Dave, I have gotten Ian outside he's ready for your evil. ,, Hope you're feeling better. Or if nothing else, that the thought of tormenting Ian helps you smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ST Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 I'm feeling better, but not quite back at 100% yet. ,, I'll most likely get the update done this coming Monday (the 10th). You guys have recess until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
