How about we just silence this silly argument and focus on PLOT~

Indeed.

Dat plot.

the problem is not wether or not it will be used that way, but the problem is that it can be used that way without any penalty or repercussion. Imagine it like a brokenly overpowered gun in an FPS. Just because you can turn off the overpowered secondary fire mode and use the okayish main fire mode doesn't make the gun any less broken, nor does it guarantee that you'll whip out secondary fire whenever it damn well is convenient




also, sorry rag, but it's approaching 1 AM, so yeah, not the most convenient time for plot over here :(

She doesn't reply to Will due to no bracelet.
We really need to set a time of how long someone needs to be with the group before we can assume s/he got a bracelet at some point.

You misunderstand.
If I abused Nuriel's power to make a sun, I would be called out on it and Elf would put a stop to it.
If I abuse Will's power unreasonably, I'll be getting more people than the one who keeps arguing over everything I do that doesn't fit into her view of what I can complaining about it, and again Elf would put a stop to it.

making a sun would simply cost more mana than nuriel has, it's impossible by sheer game mechanics


abusing Wills powers is not held back by mechanics, but by sheer willingness of Elf, and he has to be the most non-fuck-giving GMs I have ever seen.




anyway, I'll hang around a bit more, the only class I have tomorrow starts at 1PM, and I am too much of a huge Supernatural fan to not be immediatly interested when an angel takes a human as a vessel :D


((that being said, curse you, the plot-intro is horribly similar to mine! Oh god I hate having to wait for 7 more plots until my turn comes!))

didn't say that not giving a fuck is necessarily bad.


it's just that saying "yeah so maybe my power is broken, but hey, Elf will keep me from absuing it" makes not much of a point when it was Elf who already agreed to theory = practise

well, you posted the intro, Sen turned on the TV...and not much else happened. How to react to events we dont know about yet?

The only time that Elf agreed to that was when I compared it to Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes.

And, again...let's say he's able to do all that. Let's say that Elf has abandoned all reason and care for the game. Will still has two big restrictions:
1. He has to know what he's dealing with to some extent. He's Tattletale, not Contessa.
2. He is competing with 100% superhuman badasses (who can also abuse their superhuman abilities past their limits for the same reason Will can). Frankly, at that point he needs all the advantages he can get.

Consider: When has Will contributed anything other than possibly-accelerated* exposition to the party?
*Compare to the X-Man Kylun, whose power of sound mimicry is basically useless, but the authors gave the X-Men's opponents a bunch of voice-activated locks to make him useful. On a similar principle, some--perhaps much--of the data Will digs up would have been discovered sooner or possibly later.

Rag was on earlier, much earlier. You may yet get your chance.

Possibly. ;v

((Anyone watching TV, how much biblical knowledge do you have?))
Well, Angel is a little kid (and not in an exceptionally religious household), and Will's world's version of the Bible is kinda...different, but Nuriel should have pretty applicable Biblical knowledge.

Nuriel gets a roll, then. I'm getting from everyone before doing the roll, though.
