PTW.

[4maskwolf]

Poke.

[IronyOwl]

Antagonists are active. Could use more of them. Otherwise holding at 1/4 normal player actions, 3/4 normal player roll calling, and 1 waitlister.

[wer6]

dibs on being main antag.

[IronyOwl]

Gotta fill out and PM me a character sheet for that. So far somebody else is beating you in the main antagonist department. :V

[The Froggy Ninja]

dibs on being rival main antag

[IronyOwl]

I don't mean to be impatient, but it has been a week. The antagonists are very active!

[wer6]

I am actually really dumb and thought we didnt have to make a character, but, i figured that out on my own.

((Apparently there's a thread here. Who knew?
Except for those people who read the link in the last thread, the PMs we were sent, and the title of this thread...

Anyway...

FRICKIN' STONE WHY YOU NO WORK!
))
 

Neider continued stumping his way through town, waving his hands at various amalgamations of semi-fluid rock and cursing fluently in soldier. Stone was very good at being stubborn, and the only way to make it work was to be a combination of stubborn and meaner. The latter wasn't terribly hard, and the former was something that Gordon had a great deal of experience with.
 WORK MORE STONE HOUSES.

Of course, there was an alternate method of getting stone to do what you wanted it to do, which involving being creative enough to fool it. Hardly a field approved method, but one that was generally effective if you could summon the brainpower to outwit blunt rocks. Of course, the fact that most inept rock generally had a few dozen millennia worth of experience over an Enchanter made the actual act of outsmarting a rock much more difficult than non-geomancers tended to understand. Still, with all of the other Enchanters building their own lobs, it was perhaps time to work on his own project...

Lay out plans for a structure, to be made near the center of the planned settlement. The first story consisting solely of a reinforced dome made from warstone (a composite material of layered rocks, designed to be able to absorb significant impact, temperature differentials, and vibration without cracking or shattering) floors grown down into the soil. The first floor will be a large scale workshop, the second floor (B1) will consist of shielded labs for more dangerous workings, the second floor (B2) will, for now, be kept conspicuously empty.

...One shameful player reporting in (also thanks so much IronyOwl for the PM. Not that I missed this thread. Just...RL stuffs. :X)


Create flood-reroute networks along the perimeters of the dock to aid against any natural phenomenon(and in general, aim to strengthen the harbor's durability).

Ari reviewed the power system and her own notes regarding the short-range teleportation device over the sounds of the thumping generator.
"Dizziness, nausea and a slight headache. Probably jetlag included."
"Jetlag?"
"Tiredness and confusion. Very temporary, though I'd figure that complimentary paper bags be included-"
"Where did you get such an idea?"
"Unen."
"Ah. So...what do you think?"
"Morale is up, the colonists are focused, and we probably need a better governor. Also you tap your feet when you're nervous."
Ari stopped tapping her feet.

"I really think we should fortify the harbor before any other flood happens. Winter is coming."

[IronyOwl]

Ah, so Fniff has dropped out and Lenglon will be gone for a month. Which I guess might only work out to 2-4 turns at this or its former rate, but that still leaves a few too few players for the moment.

Splosions is in, but another 1-2 enchanters might be nice. We've got more than enough antagonists waiting for me to process them as is. :x

[IcyTea31]

I might join later, but doing so on an ongoing game is always confusing and will take a while. I have to read up the original thread, decide if I really want to join, think of a good character design, decide a goal, make a plan, fill the sheet, and so on, all made more difficult by so much happening behind the scenes.

Finished, woo. EDIT: Added assistant.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Vincent Gustaven
Description: A man with the glint of purpose in his eyes. Fair skin, dark brown, short hair, blue eyes. Dresses in simple, somewhat drab clothes. He seems to never give up before the situation is completely and utterly hopeless, and maybe not even then.
Specialization: Weather
Hobbies: Collection of woodwind instruments, sometimes playing them.
Personality: Diligent, Tenacious, Obsessive
Assistant: Mary, a young animal-loving farmer girl. Hard-working and quick-thinking, but without any special powers even though the assistants of most Enchanters have. Because of this, many wonder why Vincent would choose her as his assistant. ((I don't actually have any ideas for it right now, but it will probably make a good plot device later.))

I'm running for Lenglon's char--she PM'd me on it (though if you'd like, we can get Unen a rest and a replacee can get in because of interest. ))

[Errol]

My stance is about the same as IcyTeas except that I'll probably skip the readup and pass it off as my character being uninformed.

/e: Well then, let's have at it:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Graf Rudolf Otto Kaltenbrunn, "The Iron-Blooded Count"
Description: A large, imposing man with a large, imposing moustache who prefers to dress in an Imperial Officer's uniform. Except for the moustache, he is bald. Although he's not the youngest anymore, he keeps himself in top fighting shape through rigorous daily exercise - and expects nothing less from those around him, holding them to the same high standards he adheres to.
Specialization: The manipulation of metal - reshaping metal, transmuting metal, extracting metal (though there's only enough metallic compounds in average soil to create a few weapons for self defense), changing the properties of metal... his favorites are Iron and Steel.
Hobby: He has a faible for the military - seeing it, ultimately, as the only way of forcing respect - which extends to military training (again, he's the harshest on himself here), miltary strategy, public order, and weaponry. He's also a passionate reader.
Personality: Diligent, Honorable, Strict
Assistant: Jenkins, the loyal butler of the Kaltenbrunn house. A former soldier forced into retirement by a war injury costing him an eye and harming his left leg, he is proficient in cooking, preparing tea, gardening, clerk work, information gathering both overt and in secret, and still is quite a mean shot with the sniper rifle.

Assistant now edited in and ready to go.
