LydaLynn Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 My internet has developed a stutter - it drops every minute or so. So, until I figure it out and get it fixed - I'll only be able to enter the chat with my hubby's laptop - and only when he's not using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 @Dawn - I'd like a reaction from James' followers in 12c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNinja Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 one thing:Is Dan not including the rescuees from Paradise in his estimate? Because if there's only 470 people, counting the 500 rescued, then this Refuge has a serious problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 BN: Not all the people from Paradise stayed at the Refuge. Some remained in Paradise, others ended up with Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Story Guide Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 BN - Gabrielle took a good number of people with her when she left, a lot of the rescued women and the small church community that had been in the refuge before. I don't know if that's where the numbers are coming from, but it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courier Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hmm... I put that James would be following V to "The Box", but it looks like action is moving away from there.Should I move there and fully integrate the two threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karren Gaunt Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I say come on in, James can see Jules, the giantess from vegas, and mr. paragon outside the building, and stop to chat with them to see if V's been through there. Maybe perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargaizer Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Just in case anybody is interested, here's a somewhat related and I think potentially funny arc from our friends at Full Frontal Nerdity.http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/ffn/index.php?date=2011-02-24As of this posting, there is one follow up, though I'm sure there will be more.

Courier Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thus far I'm assuming that James missed V, i.e. that V and Kristin are a bit away from the building (and probably moving away). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 V and Kristin are inside, AFAIK.In fact, I think she and Dan used a room in the quarantine building for their break up (there is a secure exam room at the back of the building they could have used). So I don't think either of them left during the breakup.Also, Dan's now talking with Jules, Sarah and Jordan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine that she would raise her five children on that mountain as anything less than unholy terrors. Especially with Han. Especially. Especially. Especially.

Forge Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 And? That might look good on paper, just she's bat-shit crazy...some of the desperate or those who get completely mind raped by her might go along with it, but I can't see any self-aware, common sense-filled person letting her anywhere near them.It basically boils down to any 'normal' person doesn't have any chance whatsoever to go against her will. But any 'super' at the refuge should be grabbing pitchforks and torches to run her out now while they still can, if not tie her to a stake. Cuz... you know, I'm pretty sure she weighs the same as a duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally Posted By: Damon OOCThat might look good on paper, just she's bat-shit crazy...some of the desperate or those who get completely mind raped by her might go along with it...In theory V does her thing 4 times a day and we end up with 1,200 extra people a year, over and above what the rest of the supers can do. That's enough for humanity to survive.The alternative is every baseline woman never has children and our numbers drop too low to remain viable. "Desperate" is a really good word.Further, what is it that she's asking us to tolerate? Her lifestyle and name? That she had a messy break up? Or even several messy break ups?

SalmonMax Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hang...whoa there. 1200? Where are you getting that figure?We have precisely zero information about what the extent of Violet's fertility power is. And that's us, the players! In-character, we have no actual evidence she even HAS fertility power beyond relatively circumstantial.Unless Vi wants to start doing clinical trials, it may be awhile before we can answer these questions.

Courier Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Jordan ninja'ed me. I double posted to reply. Originally Posted By: SalmonMaxHang...whoa there. 1200?

Originally Posted By: SalmonMaxWe have precisely zero information about what the extent of Violet's fertility power is. And that's us, the players! In-character, we have no actual evidence she even HAS fertility power beyond relatively circumstantial.I'm assuming she knows when she spends juice and has some control over the power, which implies some idea of what she can do. Thus far she's used it twice. She can make people (or at least women) fertile, so that their next sex act gets them pregnant.This matches up pretty well with the power in... I forget what it was called. The supplement about abby reproduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 We have no idea if Nashwa wouldn't have become pregnant without Vi's 'help.'I'm just saying, Courier, you have a history of jumping to conclusions on very little evidence, and then ferociously defending them even against reasonable doubt. You could very easily be spot on that Vi's power has that potential, and works that way. You could just as easily be completely wrong. All I'm saying is...lets collect a bit more data before deciding we know what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Also...do you really think Violet/Venus would actually agree to such a plan, particularly if the people aren't going to stick around and kiss her ass? She doesn't strike me as the kind of character that gives a rat's ass about anyone but herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-Jules WhiteElk Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Originally Posted By: JordanShe doesn't strike me as the kind of character that gives a rat's ass about anyone but herself. That's not entirely true, or hasn't been in the past. Jules meant it when she said they were friends.Courier: Here's the thing. One of the people she 'got' pregnant (if that's what's happening) was herself, by doing a fertility ritual. The other person didn't go through the same ritual. Ergo, by the way this stuff works, she shouldn't be the x-factor for Nash's pregnancy. V's had sex with a lot of people who haven't gotten pregnant. Additionally, all the stuff that Helen said about stress, fertility and sperm counts with multiple partners is actual science fact. So James is pretty much telling one of his wives - indirectly - that the real-world facts she's giving him don't really matter. Us lady-folk don't tend to like that. In short, James is making a lot of assumptions that are going to probably bite him in the ass later. Just a fair warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courier Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Originally Posted By: JordanAlso...do you really think Violet/Venus would actually agree to such a plan...I think her power works sexually. And yeah, it's easy to picture V having sex four times a day.Originally Posted By: SalmonMaxWe have no idea if Nashwa wouldn't have become pregnant without Vi's 'help.'I think the issue isn't "wouldn't have". She got pregnant when V said she would, V spent juice, either V is actively lying or she helped (although James would love to try that again).The issue is "couldn't have". And on that James (and to a lesser extent I) am/is jumping to the worse case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not recall V saying that at any point in Gathering Covens or the PM we had wrapping it up. I do recall talking that Nash would become pregnant after the cleansing ritual...And all that talk was OOC. Watch the metagaming. I'm not hitting you with any penalty (beyond a warning) because its a more fun to see James leap to a crazy, crazy conclusion. Which at this point has happened so often it's practically part of his concept now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hold up posting in the Box for a moment folks (that's why its locked temporarily). Courier, Myf isn't outside with Dan et al. She's inside, with V, Adam, Gally, Olivia and Kristin. So we need some edits since people in two seperate locations are posting as if they were in one.

SalmonMax Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Argh. I'm feeling petty and annoyed. Not the best time to be making decisions.The post that needs to be edited is the one before the one you have there. The post where she asks Adam if he has any questions. If that last part were replaced by her deciding to go check on Dan, then the conversation following would work.Of course that leaves Kristin alone with V...but...eh. It's that or waste all the time and effort I put into all those posts, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
