@Necroes, i feel i should say this also. I do not dislike you as a person. I know we argued plenty, and yes i did get quite frustrated but it takes a little more than that to make me dislike a person. It was simply a matter of different RP philosophy. Personally i would be fine with giving you a chance with a different character who is not a psyker. However i understand where Wraith is coming from and believed much the same when i was particularly frustrated, though i held my tongue because i generally hoped you would understand our position and take our greavances to heart. In this case im hoping the same because your writing is solid and imaginative and i am confident that you could craft an interesting facet to the game without the metagaming and, for ease of everything, follow the fluff a little more.

If you no longer wish to play with us, i totally understand and i wish for no hard feelings.

@Necroes fair point, But:

as for the power level, that is a good point i should have condidered. However being a protagonist of a story in 40k does not require being a Primarch or whatever. There are plenty of stories of random troopers to show the prospective of the common man, so they dont have to be much better than anyone else just more intresting which can be captured without power. Which is what i was trying to capture with Ga'duk and Oskar. And JB did tell you early on to Nerf the ork, and i wont speak for anyone else but i expected him to come much closer to our level.

I understand you are being much more liberal with the fluff interperetations, but i think its obvious that many of us are less so. And it wasnt liberal fluff interperetations i was calling BS on. at least not all the time. It was the critical metagaming that the ork knows how to do whatever is convinent at the time added to the fluff justification. Eg: how does he know how to shape wraithbone, or create these chaos spawn slaves when all he is supposed to know is how to blow shit up.

I didnt say this was your fault and i acknowledged why i didnt press the issue before. which boiled down to RPing a fking retarded character while everyone else ignored it. That being said... you have done very little to justify that being ignored and have now openly attacked Oskar and Xeph. Since Oskar has no reason to ignore the problem, he wont. I was more expressing my confusion as why everyone else is still just ignoring it as the ork has proven to be dangerous, powerful and unpredictable.

@Necroes I get all that, but you are playing a different RP than we are essentially. You are playing an ultra-powerful top tier character (eg Chaos lords, Chaptermasters, Warbosses) who could ruin battlefields singlehandedly and more devastatingly than anyone short of an alpha level psyker or battle titan. In your CS you even said you could brawl with nobs and small warbosses. and have mastered a dozen Ok, 5 but still... psyker realms of study that usually take a single psyker a life time to master. Even high level sanctioned psykers or librarians dont have that many skills.

You are playing a power fantasy game while we are playing an "against all odds" game, at least for the moment. Most of us could not fight an ork nob single handedly, even lucius and Xeph would have a hell of a time with it. Oskar would die (which is fine, i knew he would be reletavely weaker) and the dread mage would die even harder than Oskar assuming he didnt magic his way out of it.

Oh, as for fluff, i take liberties with the fluff too. Im sure everyone does, but we dont need to find archaic notes in the fluff to justify an interesting story or vastly extrapolate in a way that we want that simply doesnt make sense. i think the biggest example was the chaos spawn slaves as nobody had the materials on hand to make them or the know how but that was ignored for the fact that it would just be interesting.

Finally i still dont know why the ork was allowed to follow us at all. the ogryn didnt kill him because, well killing PCs is generally not well recieved and the character was following lucius dumbly and lucius didnt do anything about it so, meh. Everyone else though should have been directly hostile to the unknown Ork because i thought they where kill on sight for basically everyone due to spores (and yes i know he doesnt but literally nobody IC does). Oskar will behave this way, and will try to kill the ork as soon as he is given an opportuinity unless he is given a very compelling reason. Any imperial soldier would act the same and does not want the ship taken over by ork spores. (again, exactly nobody knows the ork does not give off spores)

@Klomster well, ok that makes sense too

Are We the Bad Guys? - A WH40k RP [Mature]

I'm gonna be honest, and you already know some of this. You are disrupting this RP.
Not by godmodding actually, as in being more powerful than reasonable. No, by constantly pushing the borders of fluff.

But then later, you claim you can navigate ships in the warp, since you are an ork psyker.
However, being severed from the ork gestalt field, you wouldn't be able to navigate like orks. Since they rely heavily on that to do it.

It's the constant "Well, actually!" which is getting on my fluff correctness nerve. It's going crazy right now TBH. So much i myself is even a bit sour over the whole thing.
Constantly finding snippets of weird wiki info to support that your ork can do just this. But doesn't count as an ork and thus isn't affected by this thing, except for when it is useful to, then he's clearly an ork. And other similar events.
Plus the seemingly random acts of kindness and aggression towards Xepherial. I mean, why? Make up your mind.

@Klomster

Exactly how i have been feeling. with the added caveat, i am uncomfortable with the idea of @Necroes losing the ork and playing another psyker. I fully expect to run into exactly the same problem as with the Ork regardless of the species, i would love to be wrong but i expect the new psyker to be wracked with the same problems of being conviniently a master of every kind of power as needed and have enough juice to summon hordes of deamons or cut the ship in half. or whatever. We have other psykers who have not really used their power much because well... why would they. They where in a null zone for a while and the ork was so much more capable in every capacity they needn't have bothered. (at least this is my interperetation of the situation)

@Necroes
1- it will make me feel better.

2- i really dont think the ork is that much of a bad ass that his death will simply tear open a new warp storm...

3- Ok, deamons might happen. Probably would happen. The Eldar would be dealing with that first giving me time to gtfo if i need to.

4- if he is such a badass that his death will create a new warpstorm wtf are you doing here? go start your own WAAAGH!!!

5- it will mean the ork is dead... which solves several problems.

oh, and 6- i think your deamons will happen thing is an excuse to keep the ork around by threat of demons. Personally im thinking of how i can get the ork into an airlock and let the deamons happen in the vacuum of space.

Are We the Bad Guys? - A WH40k RP [Mature]

i vote you do it, the psychic bitch slap you ultimately receive will be very cathartic for me.

Not to mention im 100% sure the Eldar know Orks are not psykers in the traditional sense and would be very alarmed by a new brand of Ork psyker. A mutation like that would make the Orks extremely dangerous and Orks breeding asexually would mean if you are left alive for long there very well could be thousands or millions of this new brand of Ork that are warp sensitive. So, Im sure the Eldar wouldn't mind jeopardizing a strike team to kill you with extreme prejudice. Which would be a small danger as they are boarding a ship that has little or no defensive ability and i expect they would figure out that the ship is suffering from internal strife pretty quickly.

OH! and their fleet is going to be going mad trying to get that ship with the stones back. Chances are good that there will be many strike teams sent aboard to retrieve the stones. It would only be a little out of their way to remove a potential major threat to the galaxy. So, please, go for it. Ill hide in the armory and let the eldar cleanse the ship for me, removing problems like... security forces, the captain, Orks, chaos marines... Then ill have free reign of the ship or get picked up by another and start my pirate adventure over there.

Izrah

Izrah wandered the streets in the depths of the hive for hours, and only had to run from a group of gangers once. However he did notice that he got many strange looks and quiet chats from most of the people he passed by. The implants in his head he presumed, he noticed very little cbernetics down here apart from a few incredibly crude appendage replacements on men that where presumably upper gang management. The attention he was getting started to unnerve him, rumors would circulate and any inquisitor worth his salt would pick up on it eventually. He needed to get off the street.

Izrah found a bar, it was a... quaint little establishment filled with haggard looking people who where drinking some vile looking concoction. However it was much quieter a place than he was expecting, although most of the crowd being at least double his own age. However there where a few who didnt appear to be local and where much younger than the rest, but they seemed to be uninterested in him. The establishment looking to be adequate to lay low for a while. He found a table in the rear of the room, mostly away from most people that was only dimly lit by a flickering candle. Izrah sat at the table with his hood drawn up to shroud his features and pushed the candle to the far end of the table, trying to be inconspicuous. Unfortunately he was not trained in stealth or infiltration and was rather obviously trying not to be seen.

Most of the Patrons took notice, though most of them did not give a second thought to him as they had seen plenty of people from off world or the upper parts of the hive try to hide in the depths of a hive. A few did make comment, one however caught Izrah's attention briefly (@Eisenhorn). He wasnt sure why, he wasn't much different from some of the other mercenary types. Izrah couldnt place why this man snagged his attention and it began to annoy him, he started staring at him intently though his face was still shrouded by shadow he made no efforts to disguise his study.
