I'm pretty sure giving him additional, less well thought out seditious thoughts would have zero effects whatsoever.

[Toaster]

Xan can talk to brains, sweet. That'll bring all the manipulator boys to the yard for sure.

Good thing he's never tried THAT before!

[Caellath]

Xan shakes bring all the manipulator boys to his yard?

Also, picking is rather hard. You have a limited number and a lot of people with Joker as their first pick. I might stick to 8 and ask for piecewise's forgiveness.

[Lenglon]

I'd think that'd make things easy. look over the 6 that made Joker their first pick and unless they have no business on a joker mission accept them, then find any gaps in their skillsets and fill them in with 1 or 2 of the no preferences.

will edit in an analysis once I've looked over the 6 in question in more detail.

[Caellath]

Gentlefish also claimed preference for Joker despite his character's no-preference attitude. I also already performed an analysis and sent a draft to other mission leaders so we can share the medics - which is the biggest problem in the end. I can't take all of the people who got Joker as first pick due to that.

[AoshimaMichio]

Right, Baldster. Leeyes is going down.

So 1 point to share is on on either? The narrative will be so much less interesting if I spend it on fate than on a weapon skill.

Grand total 1 point, yeah. Put it where ever you feel it fits best. You can also hold onto it until you find better use for it.

yeah, now that I've looked it over you only got 1 support-type character requesting to go, on a mission requiring a group of supports according to the brief.

[Twinwolf]

I've got Aux skill...

[Parisbre56]

Yeah, but the brief said they didn't need high level support characters. And they already have Skylar which is a very high level support character. So all they need is a low-level spare, someone with charisma and then guys for combat (Con,Uncon,Exo). Maybe someone with handiwork.

Let me look at them real quick.

[Lenglon]

yeah, you and Dester are the shoo-ins for the mission, oddly enough. but I was going to suggest that Cael PM you about those 6 tokens of yours. because right now you have no equipment and are under totally unknown side-effects of a nyartifact. it seems like a safe enough one though, probably gave you -1 cha for +1 str. those 6 tokens, depending on how use want to use them, are going to change your character's abilities almost completely though, since your stats are so even across the board.

I have handiwork and uncom and exo

The briefing said not to worry about equipment because it would be provided on site.

[Parisbre56]

Skylar's already chosen and he has high medical and aux and a bit of handiwork.

Xael is level 0 with exo, so he can go.
Anita is a level 0 with charisma, conventional and aux, so she can go as backup tech/soldier/char.
Jesse is a level 0 with conventional and unconventional, so he can go as a soldier.

Ian is level 1 with exotic and conventional, so he can go as a soldier with probably higher priority due to low level.

Tek has unconventional, handiwork medical and aux and is level 2, so he can go as backup medic/soldier/tech.
Han has charisma, unconventional and a bit of medical and is level 2, so he can go as a backup medic/soldier/char.

Gus doesn't really have much beyond handiwork and Tek has that covered and is level 1, so he can go but is not high priority. Could still be included on the grounds that he is a newbie that has to level up in a relatively safe mission, I guess, unless Nik's mission has a use for a handiwork man.

Vincent has Con and General knowledge and Charisma and is level 3, so he can go as a soldier but is not a high priority.



Dester is level 0 with good stats for this mission, but he has not made a good impression to Milno, so I don't see him getting chosen.

Skylar, Xael, Anita, Jesse and Ian make 5 and give a good mix of skills. You can also sneak in Tek, Han and maybe Gus and make it 7-8 with even better coverage. Maybe even 9 if you think Dester will behave. Then just tell piecewise that there's a chance the new guys will go inactive, so you want to compensate for that with a bit more people.

[Caellath]

I've picked eight people so far taking in account some people might go braindead as usual and I've also grabbed quite the number of newbies since the anomaly mission seems deadlier and trickier than the Joker assignment. Han has Anomaly as his second choice and is kind of competing with Ryan's spot since I can't hog all the medics. I'm also still considering Ian, but I wanted three combat characters with one of them being more experienced. Handyman Gus is picked because Joker may end up being the mission in need of urgent jury-rigging and handy feats of handywork.

[Ozarck]

Don't stress about taking Dester. I'm resigned to "last pick" (or even "no pick"). However ...

If Milno is on the fence about taking Dester, because he has reservations about his character, talk to him IC. If it's the player, well, I'll go on whichever mission and try to earn a little player respect by courtesy, rp, and acceptance of what comes. I picked Joker as first choice because it was"newb friendly," but the anomaly is interesting, and I'll grunt it out on the disappearing ally one, if necessary. If no one selects me, I'll return the Pimp Cane, and if I get the full 5 tokens back, try out the sand bag for a while.
