How do you feel about the use of guns in this setting?

We know how to make them and they're useful, mainline production.
- 4 (33.3%)
They seem out of place and run rather counter to a fantasy setting, avoid them.
- 2 (16.7%)
Get outta here, nerd, nobody finds guns that interesting.
- 1 (8.3%)
Go ahead and have the NPCs make em, but not worth player input.
- 1 (8.3%)
Support, but they shouldn't be the standard weapons.

I could do it probably, but having my own semi antagonistic agenda means it may result in unfair treatment if I assume direct control. Alternatively I could do rolls to decide fate, but I would rather not let the Random Number God get involved or invoked if I could help it.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

I apologize for my unclear wording. I am not abandoning my duties as GM, I'm just asking you guys to do some more of the work of managing arguments and giving me stuff to update when I do update so the thread can be fully active without me checking every few hours to stop somebody flipping out.

Once the battle ends, I'll be giving you some time to play with. That time could be used, in addition to continuing the fort's progression, as an opportunity to do any actual RP you might have interest in doing, since combat encounters and fortbuilding to not a solid role-playing-game make.

Oh, you want someone to apply for Argument Manager.  And you want us to...Post?  What is that?  Never heard of it.  ;Please
But seriously, I seem to be lacking certain resources (Player Characters, and all) to make that viable.

You've already acted since the last update, I just need more players doing things.

With regard to arguments, I can still provide final arbitration, but I'd like it to be needed less often. I also don't really want to spend hours discussing things in order to figure stuff out.

If I solve an argument, I'll provide what I consider the best option and be prepared to run with it. In order to not have that happen, provide a superior alternative.

You guys can spend as much time as you like between updates strategerifiying or arguing, but I'd like that to not require my input, since that's not the GM's job.

No, but seriously. The elevator with Murdoc, Stranger, and the legbomination is one third of this entire scenario. I needs an action.

If I may make a suggestion, there's something we can do, since school is obviously going to make this hard for the rest of the year.

I have a fairly good idea of what goes on from here forward, and if I can get enough non-controversial posts to update somewhere approaching daily for the next little while, I can fast-track y'all through the rest of the "Campaign", leaving us at a nice stopping point.

Then, during summer of 2016, I, or whoever is feeling most inclined, can start the next game, the story of which I'm pretty sure I can get down easily enough.

Discuss.

So would anyone mind informing me of the state of the world, as I have been absent for several months now.

Well, suddenly a necromancer sieged us and we pretty much beat the army with cannon, I found the universe's commandline interface, a cannon blew up in my actual in-world face, the necromancer is fleeing down in the elevator...Spark was almost drained, uh,...Yeah.

You're going to have to go back further than that, I didn't realize we were hacking the game itself.

Maybe you should just read, it makes more sense that way.

The whole console thing is honestly something I started doing as a joke when Fish started using Homestuck commands. It may become relevant later, but it's probably just a computer wedged into Fish's head. Or all of your heads, for that matter.

Going back further than what you've seen, we've also killed a large and frightening diamond FB, and semi-pacified one made of steel, which seems to be perfectly happy to wander around in the caverns without harming us.

There's also some cosmic-level stuff with the planet's geothaumic field and something Out East that's messing with it.

And a slightly deranged dwarf in the caverns, at risk of constant steam-broiling.

Don't forget about me. :-\
