jameson (ST) Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 need to decide how to lay out this next post since Ashley and Anna will be unaware of Gregory. Hopefully update tonight or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 How long will it take Raider to do his investigating on the bomb and such? Aside from being in training all the last week IRL I also haven't been posting since I figure Raider's been busy IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 cursory investigation to determine functionality would take perhaps an hour tops. To remove the warhead would require perhaps 3 hours of work before it was free and could be removed. Repairing the rocket could be done but you'd need to come up with a way to refuel it.

Mr Fox Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Raider had been dismantling the bomb and moving the warhead to his secret base. Am I caught up with everyone else now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joani Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Touching base again. Sorry for the "on-and-off" situation I've been through the last weeks.I'm back at work and that means I can access the site more regularly again. I needed the break, though.Lets hope the next "issues" pass me by. I've had my fair share of trouble for this year already.Now lets play again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Updated - Fox if Raider wants to stick around just let me know how long and what he is looking for or where he wants to get a closer look. If not you can write yourself back into town with Gregory and the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 you guys need me to jump the scene forward? Seems like you are all still talking but I'm not sure. Update for Courier pending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Arr, still talking. I got distracted over the weekend, but I want to play the scene with Raider at least a little longer, to a natural stop point.Unless Anna and Raider want to jump ahead, in which case that's fine with me too.

Joani Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I suppose Raider, Ashey, Gregory and Anna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Probably Adam too. OK, Doug sent that message out before he was in the building so he didn't see Anna & Ash for that reason.That leaves James unaccounted for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalmonMax Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Oops...if so I'll revise my post.I lost track of what Ash was and wasn't told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 We weren't actually hiding it from you... just from James... but he's a telepath and you're not known to have a shield.If you delete "She looks at Raider. "Can he do anything about that nuke without you?""... then that deals with it right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'd be fine with that, but Fox already reacted to it.If I take my line away, he can take his away, and we're good.Fox? You wanna do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Folks we've got a sticky situation here with PC vs PC mega social "combat". I'd like some help in determining just how we run this due to the fact that its probably the worst aspect of the Abby rules AND that I've never really played a social type in Abby and so have very little experience in this regard. I'm looking for something simple and quick so as to avoid making the other PCs wade heavily through a lengthy period of cost/counter-post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 First, I suggest we refer to the rules for the powers being used.Courier uses Persuader. This power gives bonus successes for a requested change of opinion or to convince someone to take a course of action. Since the number of successes varies according to the nature of the request, I think it's reasonable to have Courier tell us what specifically he's requesting us to do or believe. His IC words are kind of vague...is he telling us to think the Moon Men are behind this, or telling us to agree to his plan to visit the moon again?From there, he still needs to make the appropriate roll. Persuader just adds successes. It doesn't obviate the need for a roll. The power description further states that targets "normally has some kind of Willpower or other resisted roll" against requests that involve great personal danger or could get the target "in extreme trouble." That would be an ST decision of course.The other power in use is Trickster. It is used when a nova tries to "trick, fool or deceive another character" and gives 3 auto successes on any roll to do these things.So we'd need to know how specifically he's trying to 'trick' Courier, and then he'd need to make his roll, aided by the power. We'd then go from there to determine the results of that roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joani Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I second Smax - One of the reasons I haven't posted yet is exactly because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I don't see that we are sparring socially.Doug is trying to persuade people to go with his plan... which is to establish guilt then commit mass murder.Gregory is trying to do what? Trick Doug into thinking that Gregory agrees? That's fine, you can do that, but that's not an opposed action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameson (ST) Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 let me clarify, we are entering into stick territory here. While I could easily say "you are all adults, RP it like you ought to" that doesn't always work especially when M-Socials can in theory wear a person down and convince them to do anything given enough time and effortIf you guys would like to simply leave the rules by the wayside (more or less) and RP it out entirely that is fine by me. I just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page before moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Let me restate "the plan" here that I'm trying to get people to buy into.Core Concepts:1) Before we actually start killing people we find out if they're guilty.2) But we proceed with the plans right now assuming that they are.Plan Details:3) Doug and perhaps others go to the moon again. This has the dual purpose of bringing them into the right time frame and letting us talk to them. For obvious reasons anyone who goes should have both Adaptability and a mind shield.4) After a certain amount of time, Raider will port in with the nuke.5) If they're innocent, then Doug will contact Raider and tell him to back off and he'll port back out.6) If there is no contact, Raider pulls the trigger.

SalmonMax Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Okay, so if I then tell you that Ash still disagrees with Courier's proposed action, what then? Will you start complaining that I'm ignoring your stats and your mega-power and that I should be RP'ing differently?The last place Ash wants to go is to the moon again.

Courier Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Max and I talked about this in chat and I think we're on the same page here.Things to point out:1) Persuader isn't mind control.2) Persuader doesn't let you change deeply held beliefs and the like... and throwing nukes around is probably going to affect those.

I wouldn't if I were them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Unfortunately we have to assume that they're going to make some mistakes here. Underestimating us, assuming that no one would dare attack them, that sort of thing.Further, it's *possible* that Raider could port in even with the time field up. Warp wouldn't work, but teleport in combo with DD5 might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
