The Tavern

I literally just joined the site today and I'm all excited about this! I think it would be a great place to test characters in an RP setting as well. Get em drunk and have em pee in a corner etc.

@HolyHell

...And then have them thrown out by the bouncer, who'd be played by a Giant/Troll halfbreed. :)

The Echo Game! Something Different! Exclamation Marks!

So... if you don't manage to take power in the country you end up in, but do manage to build yourself a Playboy Mansion full of Bunnies then you'd still get at least 60%, before taking into account the spectators' obvious extra 20%? :)

Can anyone guess who's planning to invent the printing press and photography a few centuries early? XD

Worst case I'll just start writing a medieval version of Cheers. That should get people participating, if only to make me stop. XD

@Genni said I had to join this RP otherwise she'#d tell everyone about the cocktail dress. :P

How easy will it be for us to usurp the governments at the start of the game? A country like a Democracy would mean us either having to wait for the next election and campaign for votes, or somehow try to force a new election to occur (assassinate the President and Vice-President, for example) and then temper with the voting results in order to win. If it takes too long then it'll be difficult to balance play between all the participants, won't it?

Would we be able to change the government of the country we're in, either by performing a coup or taking over and then making changes in law and policy to bring about a revolution?

What sort of rules will you have for speed of play? Several of the RPs I've tried on this site have deadended since players are sitting around waiting for others to post up, sometimes even a month after their last post. Will we be allowed to skip inactive players and steal a march on them if they fail to take any actions within a given period of time?

How much freedom will we have to decide on our own decision outcomes? If we decide to invade a village within our own country with the nation's military, would we just be able to automatically declare victory, or would we have to wait for a GM decision on the conquest first?

@Skythikon Well, the cocktail dress was meant for Condor's more womanly curves, but Patch does have the legs to pull it off.

Oh dear, on second thought I don't think I can join. I can't keep up!

@RomanAria

I wouldn't worry, if the other RPs on this site are anything to go by the IC action will be a lot slower than the OOC banter. :)

All-Star Marvel: Audax Mundus Novus - Season 1 (Completed)

Deadpool is still here, but he got bored of waiting so blew his own head off. It should be grown back just as soon as the next post comes up, so there won't be any delay getting a reply sorted out.

Unless he decides to do the thing with the pineapple again... _{oh god, please don't let him do the thing with the pineapple again...}

Going back to the game, I mean the difference between a Resting target, an Agitated target and an Alerted target.

A Resting target would be anyone just going about their everyday life, with no concerns in the world. They wouldn't notice a Stealth Expert pickpocketing them, or picking a lock nearby or something similarly sneaky, but may become Alerted if an unskilled person tried to do the same thing.

An Agitated person would be a patrolling guard, or someone in a more attentive state who'd be looking out for trouble. They wouldn't notice a Stealth Master performing a dastardly act, but would be Alerted by an Expert or unskilled person trying to.

An Alerted person would be a guard chasing an intruder or engaged in combat. There's no chance even a Stealth Master would be able to pull off a sneaky feat while someone was actively watching them and even possibly shooting at them, unless someone else could somehow distract the Alerted person away (time to break out the cocktail dress, or lack thereof. )

@Dragonite777 Have you noticed that in all the time we've spent talking about this the mighty space warriors still haven't moved out of the goddamn lift? :P

@Skythikon We both had the same skill combination for our characters so I've switched Patch to a Medic with Athletic skills. This'll let him climb higher, run faster and generally be more evasive while also making sure the rest of you keep fighting fit (and supply the 'roids to the boys. :P)

We could all sneak down a corridor and avoid guards, but a Master at Stealth would be able to walk in front of the guard, steal a pistol from his holster and shoot the guy in the head with it without his partner noticing. XD

@Genni

Not quite that powerful, but I'd expect him to be able to steal a weapon or a keycard off of a patrolling guard without them noticing.

Similarly, I'd expect an Expert to be able to steal a keycard from an unsuspecting, distracted target, such as a guest at a party or a guard watching Condor walk towards them wearing a cocktail dress (any of us could steal a keycard from a guard watching Condor not wearing a cocktail dress, but we'd also have to try not to stare at her while doing it. :P)

How about...

He has a habit of offering 'special medicinal supplies' to girls he's interested in, making sure they enjoy his company for as long as he's around.

Still messed up, but not quite as creepy?

I'm also going to make Patch into a functioning alcoholic. While this shouldn't affect his performance most of the time, it could make him into a liability if not kept stocked up.

Gotta love a girl willing to dig out census reports to win an argument. That and tie her hands so she can't stab you with a fork during dinner. :P

Back to business, does this scream 'crazy serial rapist' to everyone, or 'recreational drug user'...

Ladies Man: Patch has a history of womanising although he tends to be discreet in his relations, playing off of his role as a nurse and aid worker rather than mentioning his less ethical activities. He has a habit of offering 'special medical supplies' to girls he's interested in, making sure they'll have a night to remember him by.
