Well, generally, if I already respond to your action, go ahead and post a new one. It's when I haven't made a turn or whatever that it matters. Besides, it's just a few of us in this thread at the moment so new posts are easy to find.

Beats me. Gnomic testing, I guess. Or it can be wheeled out, placed on a cliff, and left there as a sentry until enough players decide to get their characters together for a mission. Oh, I guess we could place Pylon outside the gnomic caverns as a sort of watchdog, so it can interact directly with the other PCs. Unless you have an idea for something.

Right now it's you, Yoink, and Akuma Kasai. Maybe KillerHellHound will join soon, as his character just died this round.

Thrips raises a hand to wave as non-threateningly as possible, whilst simultaneously beginning to edge slowly backwards away from the troll. He attempts to force a smile onto his pallid features as he does so.

"I, ah, I'm Thrips... I'm new here. Sorry to wake you? I'll just be goin', don't mind me..."

Attempt to smile and wave whilst sloooowly starting to edge away from the beast. Say the above in as friendly-yet-polite a voice as I can manage. Freeze again if it moves, or frowns, or makes a noise that could possible indicate anger or annoyance.

((@killerhellhound
You made a mistake with your sheet.  The system we're using has diminishing returns past a total of +2 starting stats in stats or skills, but you have +3/-3 in stats, and +4/-4 in skills.  For three positive levels, you need four negative levels in the same category, and for four positive levels, you need seven negative levels in the same category.  Here's a little guide, from the first post:
Code: [Select]
If the positives total to __ the negatives should total to __:
0..................................0
1..................................1
2..................................2
3..................................4
4..................................7

Additionally, I highly recommend you don't take more than one +1.  If you start with a stat or skill at +2, it's essentially like starting with three levelups put toward that stat or skill.  But, if you start with two stats or skills at +1, that's like starting with only two levelups, despite both scenarios costing the same number of negative levels.

So really, you shouldnt start with more than two stats having positive levels, and if you have only two positive levels total, they should both be in one stat.  Of course, exceptions can be made if you feel it's important to the character, or if the spread is necessary to survive the first mission, but I'm just warning you that you're being inefficient.

Also, heh, I haven't beat Ozarck to this in awhile.  Feels good.))

You need more negatives in both stats and skills.
OBSERVE, FOOL
add up all the positives._Add up all the negatives.
If the positives are_____the negatives should be
0..................................0
1..................................1
2..................................2
3..................................4
4..................................7
No stat can start above +2 or below -2.

I got ninja'd, posting anyway!

syv, exp efficiency never stuck me as being an important thing in these games, so I don't know why you keep bringing it up. It barely matters if each mission takes a month or two anyway.

It was the best you could do, aside form getting the fuck outta there. You guys do need that statue, or at least the arms. at least, before you try to come back to Omega. In retrospect, maybe I should have made the condition for returning less specific.

Thrips raises a hand to wave as non-threateningly as possible, whilst simultaneously beginning to edge slowly backwards away from the troll. He attempts to force a smile onto his pallid features as he does so.

"I, ah, I'm Thrips... I'm new here. Sorry to wake you? I'll just be goin', don't mind me..."

Oh, I'm glad you said to freeze. that makes for more entertaining possibilities than had you run. The troll blinks, and sees you. It scowls, and you freeze. It then reaches forward and grabs you with both hands, completely surrounding your torso and upper legs. It lifts you close to its eyes, and looks at you through one at a time. "PhthphthRrrrRiiiIiiCth?" It asks.

In other news, PYLON shall guard the gnome caves, the caves of the gnomes.
PYLON is wheeled out and menaces everyone in the cavern when they approach - Omegas, gnomes, ants, birds, plants, the wind. None shall pass.

Hey you guys

We have enough to do something now, with four of you. you want to mount a rescue operation for those poor sods in the blasphemy thread, or do something else?
