B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

@Volenvradica

Shit, brother. I'll be your motherfucking, online bandito and crispy dorrito. We can dust off the rust off and chill in PM or whatever if you got shade leaving left and right in the relationship circle. People get so caught up in invisible big ideas of politics that they don't see the grassy hills or the friends and families feels in their pursuit of what they only assume of what to be real.

I don't know if I want red rooms roaming the streets but I know unity is hard and people weren't really unified before more than they were tolerant and totting the boulder up the hill. America will be ok, buddy. I've seen some digit draggers on here from the Eagle Island and if people like that are trotting the towns, I'm sure they'll be able to talk it out and eat chicken nuggets together.

@MonstrousMan

Maybe. Maybe not.

Answers are their own reward, brother. Take what path you think is best, although some investigating is never a bad start to any approach.

Settings you want to run, but aren't skilled enough to do so.

I'm all soft and slime when it comes to actually sliding forth lore and lyrics about an idea but, motherfucking. logistics of handling groups is more of a task for me than a prisoner who's trying to tackle tutor turn over rate with reports in arabic and a medium to the outside world who's primary method bargaining is farting loudly and yelling at people ghost hunting trivia.

That and, motherfucking. I really like stat and game rules in my dorrito deterrent but balancing that shit to be appealing can is harder than a gym teachers ass cheeks.

Lost Cards of Broken Paradise

Shit, I hope Mae hasn't had to poke porkey the pig who just lost a civil law suit with her toe nails or something.

and we started, my wicked world departed star strikers.

Just, a motherfucking. jingle to your jangles. Don't start sweating and placing your bets if you ain't got your sheet in or got a little change you want to do. You can still make changes and submit. But once everyone talks to the receptions. It's officially closed until next mission.

Oh, heads up. I'm going to add a melee weapon section to the starting market. I know you guys have properly purchased what you want by now, but I should add it anyway. If you want to refund something and get something from that instead, I'm ok with that.

My pixel art skills is still, motherfucking. growing chest hair and learning swear words but I thought if you can't put in your finger, you can't grab the fork for dinner.

Station Stellar Gate

Terminal Map

Date: 12, 4, 3004

End of the Gold Trails

The Gold Trail end signified the single loss of the biggest market odyssey that has been or would be seen for years, it was the one occasion where the many divided colonies and factions opened up to trade to the Sol system and it's neighbors, bringing with it prosperity, luxury and unbelievable traffic. It left with with all three of these as well, which in and of itself was of just as much wonder. The ships of all cargo and domestic varieties sprawled over the galaxy in a single queue with the oddity of a delirious architect fantastical visions.

Orbs floated aimlessly, blocks with glass eyes peered out at the traffic, pyramids, torus in plastic, Cargo ships anchored into the horizon and beyond the human eye while a series of foreign and long forgotten ship designs slowly all drifted in a 250 ship wide lane. The length of these ques all extended beyond the dreams of the most ambitious land grabbing powers, yet they staggered at best and floated lazily towards the Stellar Codex. The biggest station that marked the inner borders of Unity and the Colonies.

Each of these lanes, and above them had war ships with clear paintings of deep sea blue the size of titans, casting shadows over hundreds of even the biggest of cargo trawlers while consuming the sun from view hovering around them. Smaller carriers and interceptors from bombers and fighters all fly over in quick scans, new ones replacing those that disappear in the distance. For you, this long ordeal from inside the Sol system is over. For you the joy of seeing something besides the back of another ship or the barrel of a gun that dwarfs whatever transport you had taken to exit the over flowing sector has ended.

Stellar Gate awaits, arms open wide to take you into The biggest Border check point, perhaps even the biggest station ever built by man. The smooth descent into its road and drift into its mouth swims your world in serene blue light; spreading its hue over the neutral gray walls and floors. Black leather seats in rows and ribbons loiter while People pass by and through the docks. The vague image of a reception sits in a blur far on the other side in between an army of crowds, stalls, vending machines and god knows what but you're sure some of them aren't human, whatever that means these days.

Goal: Pass entry security

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@pugbutter@Baklava

Same problem, my digital dwellers. I think that, like. The nerve market can only keep the hype for such a period of time before it goes bad. If you don't have new wonders and works spreading out between the group the mud of the time span it takes for people to post, even if they're fast starts to sink everyone in.

Yet, you can't add too much from the get go or people feel it's going to be a chore to join the first place. It's the great balancing act, my online orbit originators.

@MonstrousMan

Ah. I understand, my kindred. So, like. Nutrition and preventative life style kind of deal.

The points are to spend on your starting gear- they can be spent instead of your credits. Notice that at the store alot of the items have (number) or xxx credits. Starting points are used for end mission/ down time purchases too.

For example: in the "downtime" a lot of time can pass. You're character may age alot or a little. In this period. Point are worth LOADS. Things that may cost, many, many points could only cost like 3. This is because your spending points for your actions over a long period of time.

but you can also buy actions itself.

Example: You live through first mission. Mission ends. Downtime. The next mission is 10 years away.

In this time you can use points to buy say...a suit that cost 50 points now...for 10. You can use points to say things like.

"While in downtime. Z'arch forms his on assassins operations in the Coalition" which would also cost you points. This is so there are major differences in characters as time goes on outside of missions. You would get bonuses from that stuff.

Shit, brother. That's the kind of contraptions and concepts I wanted to see, motherfucking. molded into that cs. The only thing I won't allow is that Yul are equal to humans in biology. Humans have long passed use of biology to make thems beyond human. Which is the point of the EPOCH line.

Epoch is sort of like. The genetic achievement of making dyson spheres. It marks a whole new level of society. However, I am more than fine them with being one of the most advanced alien biological experts.

Here are your starting points judgement:

Age: you've matured for a while.

Modernist Teachings- Neither tribal nor advanced. Your worlds education doesn't prepare you well for the outside world. But, familiarizes and concepts help you cope.

Outlaw- Being on the run means being on the run. A lot of your time is spent hiding away, running or going undercover to the heat is low.

Eager Mercenary - Your job makes you move about and experience many different things and ways of thinking.

Starting Points: 20

And @everyone

just in case you're wondering if I am arbitrary handing out starting points. There is a calculation to it. Some of it is based off my decision simply due to the vast different types of characters/life styles.

Hider

Base Points (15)

Education level: none or obsolete(tribal) -5

Modernist or pre modern (1900 to 2000) 0

Current (5)

Educated (current and high grade) 10

Age: 20 -0

Every 20 years past 20 produces 5 additional points.

Most negatives reduce your points by 5.

Eg: example out of Dragonmancers one

Starting Points: 25

(base points is 15)
Backwater planet - you're not unequal but even combat tribal skills don't translate well to space. -5

No formal Education - you didn't get exposed to a lot intellectually. -5

Explorer- you've been around. +5

Age- Old or not by your races standards, 80 years is enough time to get youthful recklessness beaten out of your head. 15

Eager Mercenary - Being bought by anyone really forces you to experience different thinking and personality skills. +5

15-5 - 5 =5

4x5=20

End result=25

@monstrousman Feel free to move your sheet to the character page, my monstroso.

Tomorrow. Last day. Then we start. If you're not in or ready then you'll have to wait until next mission to submit a character. It's about time we start warming up the engines on this one.

If you are having trouble writing, I'm ok with helping. If the paragraph limit is really making it hard for you to write. I'm ok with you guys having to go after it by a paragraph or two.
