The way I see it, mr Baileys is like some motherfucking shaolin disciple who is so off his face on peyote that he thinks he's addicted to meth, but actually he's just a crackfiend, and he's superviolently trying to perfect his own brand of machete-karate, and he's got a lot of names because he's got a lot of past, most of it violent and involving bad peyote trips with swarthy Mexican crabs who were all like, yeah, I'm a shaman, but actually they weren't, they were bandits and tried to rob him, but he just motherfucking sliced them up, so he takes every drug he can to forget his bad experiences, and drinks hard to forget his drug problem.

He's had quite a tough life.

I can see mr Baileys like all awesome and totally fitting in to the crazy psycho violent wasteland world PERFECTLY. That fits perfectly with crab enemies I'm going to add later, like Dark Crabs who are heretics to Crab Goddess, and Exiled Crabs who are criminals (Crab Mountain doesn't execute motherfucking crabs, she just kicks them out)
Crab Goddess can't or won't kill Dark/Exiled Crabs, no matter what, cuz they's her own children.
Crabs shouldn't attack one another, cus they's all family.
But you would likely meet skilled opponents who are against their brother Crabs, or against Crab Goddess.
You'd be doing her a favour by taking them out, but maybe sometimes they can be redeemed and brought back to the light, Crab Goddess and Crab-kin.

"Big Bill" Jimmy

Clothes

Spoiler: George's style (click to show/hide)

Okay cool. 6 legged jeans and 6 work boots sounds cool. At least his feet are protected :p Does he wear any headgear? He could potentially equip anything. I like the idea of goggles, maybe with analyser or telescope/microscope functions. Maybe he'll get something advanced as time goes on in the game.

Faith, Scripture, belief in the Crab Goddess, and the Goddess' belief in the Crabs to fulfil her will

Spoiler: Goddess' thoughts (click to show/hide)

Crab Goddess probably watches over him, and all crabs, and influences the events of their fate and destiny. Faith in the Crab Goddess gives all Crabs strength. They all should have some sort of dark side to counter this heaavenly nature. If he acts according to the scripture of the Crab Goddess she will be pleased with him, and if you all work together to finish the job, she will be pleased with all of you.
Maybe the scripture can be sort of biblical old-testament-style shit about vengeance and violent justice and new-testament-style shit about being amazing crabs working together

Ranged using scrap and junk
Now all Crabs can do ranged using scrap, but there might be need of a dedicated specialist if your supplies run low, are endangered (enemies will attempt to steal precious cargo) or just need to make more than 1 shot at a time from any place without losing, using or damaging scrap.
Using scrap will cause it to disintegrate eventually. You can run out, and all Crabs are expected to ration it between themselves, reserving some for repairs. Another option is Junk, see  below

Junk

Spoiler:  the different kinds of junk (click to show/hide)

Junk can be: Guns, Knives, Tools, Rope, Cabling (to make stuff) and much more
I don't see why Junk can't be weapons and armour and such, so that's what junk will mostly be.
It can also be various trinkets and junk of various specific-use functions, and we'll surely collect a lot of different kinds of junk as time goes on. Anything from vehicle parts to robotics or plasma technology (examples)
Knowing how to use it is a different story.
-Guns
Guns are somewhat rare, but abandoned (or populated) military bases or military enemies may leave advanced firepower (chainguns, miniguns, rocket launchers, energy weapons and flamethrowers)
All Guns will destabilize and become destroyed through usage, mostly due to it being ancient tech and badly decayed, not to mention, most arms are small and delicate in a Trucker Crab's pincers.
Most military have small arms customised to them, so for Crabs to use it is difficult.
It is reasonable for a Crab to find a shotgun, for example, that he can use well, but again, it will eventually destabilize and become unusable.
Most stuff in the world is in disrepair. Maybe Big Billy will find uses to fix up the world a bit too, after the countless and constant Bandit and monster attacks, it's a wonder that anything's left standing at all!
-Tools
Most Tools are weapons too, such as wrenches, hammers, etc. all of which are giant sized for Crab Use and can all be used with Fight!
-Knives
This covers all blades. All normal blades are fairly like knives in the huge pincers of a Crab. Long/Broadsword are an exception, and make great weapons for a Crab, but probably have to be forged, as there aren't many in the wastes. Knives of all kinds are infinitely morea available everywhere in the world.
-Rope or Cabling
Can be used to rig stuff to other stuff, even create make-shift shields and armour!

Spoiler: Big Bill will use scrap and junk, and do repair and lifting (click to show/hide)

I think that Big Bill should start with one or two tools and the team can pick up more as they go.
The team can also wield junk as weapons now.
All crabs can use makeshift weapons and can also use junk in rudimentary combinations, but specifically repairing things is still George's job. After all, the crews attempts to repair things will be at best temporary, and at worst, a waste of resources.
Big Bill is expected to patch stuff up and make it lasting.
This also fits into George's job as Driver and his fate of guiding the truck through difficulty. He wants the truck to get out of difficulty, and deliver the cargo.
Big Bill tries to keep the truck and keep crabs safe by Lifting and Fixin' things to make them more secure
What George does behind the wheel, and what Big Bill do to the truck affects everycrab and the cargo. Work together to ensure you don't get into a situation you can't fix, like running out of resources and destroying the truck.
Reasonably, a truck's engine weights as much as a car, and so to keep a spare one would put a lot of the weight on the truck.
Carrying and affixing scrap to the truck would also weigh it down a lot, so bear it in mind when you're all swerving over the freeway.
Unbalancing the truck through modifications is discouraged, but there are specific benefits to having weapon capabilites on the truck.
Everycrab can do rudimentary fixing, but it's not effective and may waste time, turns, and resources. There is a pay-off, but it all centers around the cargo and keeping it safe. Buying time by making repairs can be useful too, especially if enemies come in waves.

Tough!

Spoiler: Big Billy's toughness (click to show/hide)

Big Billy can probably hold defensive positions really well, making him suited to use as Crab Shield,
and he can use big things as shield/lift thingies.

Crab Goddess

Spoiler: relationship between crab and goddess (click to show/hide)

All crabs are mostly disinterested in Goddess, but she, the faithful mother, nonetheless loves them a lot and seeks change, victory or justice through them. The crabs are basically vigilantes and apply her brand of martial law across the routes they take. Normally, she doesn't care, but that cargo has gotta fucken get there!

Lift!

Spoiler: Big Billy's Awesome liftin (click to show/hide)

Good thinking and I like it. Keep it up so things don't get stale.
He can be really good at push! and have exceptional throwing abilities, but it tires him out, especially throwing heavy stuff.

Still, he and all crabs can always exert exceptional crab strength/power for a little while but they injure themselves.

Fight!

Spoiler: Big Billy has okay Fight prowess (click to show/hide)

Now he can use scrap and junk as weapons using Fight! at any time. Handling scrap is probably good for him, and choosing the right pieces of scrap and junk before embarking from the truck is important.
The truck holds all your valuable shit, including your valuable fucking crab asses. Attackers will constantly try to get the cargo and valuables, by busting holes in the truck for example. When the crabs are away from the truck, what they have with them is all they have, and they keep their inventory in the truck. Choosing the right tools/scrap for the job is every crab's responsibility.
Yes, using Lift should be his primary focus, cus he's good at it, and if the dumpster is empty and small, he can throw it all day long, but an extremely heavy, industrial, metal bin or container will tire him out very quickly.

Drive!

Spoiler: Big Billy can't drive for shit (click to show/hide)

It doesn't matter, at night-time, on quiet roads, you will drive to relieve other crabs if/where necessary, for example, if other crabs are too injured or unable to do it (for example, fighting attackers in the truck)
Your real option then, is to protect and look after George and the truck.
Big Billy should prevent a situation like this from developing

Fix!

Spoiler: Big Billy is the fixer of the team, and does repairs, well. (click to show/hide)

"Big Bill" Jimmy can fix and handle all kind of scrap and junk. He can probably identify any junk he comes across reasonably well, but not advanced technology, which the Crabs will have to learn.
He can operate, maintain, clean, repair and combine MOST junk and scrap.
He is responsible for keeping a supply of junk/scrap in the truck.
Work together with your team-mates to make sure the truck is stable and well-outfitted. You are "truck-designer" within your reach. Advanced truck stuff will have to be done by as a service provided to the crabs.

Throwing!

Spoiler: All crabs can get good at throwing and other stuff (click to show/hide)

If crabs continuously exercise their powers, such as throwing, they'll get better, such as +1 to wielding/throwing specific kinds of scrap.
You could have +1 steel sheet wielding (add half a tier to Fight! score when fighting with the sheet)
or +1 to throwing various scrap poles
or +1 to using Lift with a girder
Any and all kinds of specialty depend on you, the player. Up to you, work it out in OOC.

Spoiler: this is the exact essence of the benevolent motherfuckin' Crab Goddess (click to show/hide)

"Now, the Crab Goddess wants Her children to be big as the ocean, strong as the wind, crabby as She is, fast as the current, and hard as a rock,"
Fucken poetry, and can be scripture.
You got it on point what she wants from her crabs. This can be the Crab Commandments.
Maybe change it to "deep as the big blue ocean, strong as the constant waves, fast as the flying clouds, and like a hard rock stays"

One thing to note, he can't go fast anywhere without a driver, and should protect the driver, cargo and truck with all his might. Otherwise he'll end up nowhere. Thankfully, he's a powerful but tiny crab dude.

Spoiler: Can I has a Finnish stereotypes pastiche? (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: A fair NSFW warning, though: stereotypically they curse a lot (click to show/hide)

If you allow this, the language will not be restricted to the harsh but increasingly commonplace "fuck" or "shit"; a cursing Finn is completely NSFW by English standards, they may have fewer swearwords than many other languages but can be extremely colourful, mixing wit, vernacular, bestiality, religion and scatology in a single insult.
As a mild example, they might skip from calling someone a faggot and idiomatically say they're a "knight of the brown hole"; if they're more imaginative they might say that the target "plays the reindeer cunt to the rain and thunder god's fucking gnarly christmas tree" instead.
Here's an example of finnish swearing:

Spoiler: my GM feelings are tingling (click to show/hide)

Everything is perfect and your swearing is hilarious! VERY CREATIVE AND GOOD IDEA ! please include translations so we can all enjoy it (maybe in italics or parentheses? We only need to get the gist of it.)
I'll have a look at it more closely.
Please try to think carefully about what you add.
Condense it and think about the meaning, why it speaks to you, how it makes you feel, and what you want to do because of it.
Just let your mind go and think about what's really obvious and immediate for you.
Use your strong feelings to forge your character. Not stray thoughts. This thread is not a place for people to accumulate fluff or unneeded shit.
Just be to the point like a motherfucker.
Fucking got it?
You gotta be fucking mean and direct. That's half of being a crab.
The other half is feelings about the road, fighting, danger, excitement, tension,
HOWEVER
All of this is meaningless, without caring for the cargo, other crabs or goddess' will. So if your crab isn't fuckin' dedicated to this, he'll be kicked off the team.
In a similar way, I don't want people who don't want to write. If you like playing games, be respectful and considerate of other people. They, not only work around you, but WITH you in order to make the story. Sympathise with them. Use Empathy.
Of course, you can always do this shit by yourself, if you're a right mean, old, hard, fucking bastard...
If you can make it alone??? But team-work is fun, a mission is polarising, and goddess is perfect. Come together and write some the legacy of zany crab truckers. Make it what you want, WHATEVER YOU WANT, but fuck me sideways in half with a wrench, AT LEAST MAKE IT GOOD.

ANNOUNCEMENT TO PLAYERS: About crab, cargo and goddess
Cargo = Point of the fuckin game, you dumbass.
Crabs = We play the game and fuckin make it in our image. Be nice to each other and attentive, or your character will eat shit sooner or later.
Goddess = Created the fuckin' game. Be fuckin' respectful shithead.
Watch your fucking necks and your mouths and you'll be right as fuckin' rain.

Cargo: the breakdown is like this. We need a purpose, and Goddess gives it. Everyone happy? If not, fuck off. If you're interested in doing the Goddess' will, truck this fuckin' shit like a motherfucker and don't fuckin' give up. Got it?

Crabs: RP is social. This is a TEAM game, and you fuckers is gonna work together or die tryin'. Fuckin' listen to each other when a team-member speaks and always obey the motherfuckin' GM. That's fuckin' me, so step back and think about that shit, son, cus you can't ever match me, motherfucker.
You either fucking Like it, Love it, or Leave it. Preferably the middle one.

Goddess: Now listen up, cus the game depends on this. Be good to other crabs. Respectful, considerate, all the things a crab is raised to be. BUT DON'T TAKE SHIT FROM ANYONE. This is the Goddess' law and fuckin commandment and she made it herself.
That's why she's got a fucking paradisaical garden on the fucking SACRED CRAB MOUNTAIN and everyone else in the world has shit, dirt and sand
You're supposed to HELP people less fortunate than you. Going off alone is discouraged, because that's boring as fucking hell. Make an effort to contribute to the conversation, ESPECIALLY WITH EACH OTHER and try to fucking keep up. I know it's a lot of fucking shit, but we can probably wait for 1-2 more players and see how shit goes.


LAWS OF THE motherfuckin' CRAB GODDESS
Motherfuckin' Edict and Decree of the fuckin' Sacred Crab Mountain

• 1. DON'T TAKE SHIT FROM ANYONE
• 2. STOP FUCKING SHIT UP
• 3. DON'T FUCK WITH EACH OTHER, DON'T FUCK EACH OTHER
• 4. FUCKING FUCK ANY FUCKERS
• 5. FUCK OFF IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT[/size]
  
  
  What does everyone think?

[Infinityforce]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

maybe Maegil can do some kind of mantra, incantation, or cantrip in his language?
Really, it should be motherfuckin' crab-like if you get my meaning. Something which a crab trucker would say when he's doing this crazy shit.

Maybe he has a reindeer that he can ride? The reindeer would deploy from the truck and be able to jump high and run fast.

Is your crab snow elemental?

[Xantalos]

...Huh. I'm gonna have to review whatever the hell I did to create that guy, because I legitimately don't remember doing it.

Hmm, seems I went a little off the hook there. Problems with doing things like this while tired, it loosens my grip on reality. Let's see what alloy I can make of the raw ore of creativity I extruded last night...

You have a lot of great ideas, but you need to pick the ones best for this story.
What is life but a rich tapestry? Everything contributes, so it's all good and we grow and learn.
Think about what you want to develop in your writing.
What do you like and want to improve at? How does this RP shape your writing style?
You have a lot of opportunities. Prepare well so you get the most benefit as a person, a writer, and as a player, as well as a friend
It's a metaphorical journey in a fucked up world. There is no light, but the Crabs ALWAYS fucking make it no matter WHAT!
That's because they try hard and care, and trust each other.
That's the metaphor for our writing, because we have to do that to, otherwise our writing will be lacklustre, unfinished, or empty.
We need to fill the gap with our creative vision, but first it has to come out of us.
That's the hard part. After, we need to dial it back and deal with the biggest issues and ideas.
That's the quickest way forward. Anyway, everyone has something to add to this game, and everyone has something to give to each other.
I hope you guys have fun during this game, I don't usually RP online, but I thought b12 community has some cool funny dudes and I bet they'd have hella awesome ideas!

[Maegil]

Just for the record, I'm not Finnish. I'm just proposing to play a character based on Finnish stereotypes, just a bit more extreme than other national depictions from, for instance, Hetalia or Scandinavia and the World; still I'm currently exchanging PMs with 74s to tone the offensiveness of the cursing.

[Infinityforce]

Spoiler: Markko and the team. Being Sisu. (click to show/hide)

Just for the record, I'm not Finnish, I'm just proposing to play a character based on Finnish stereotypes. Just a thing a bit more extreme than national depictions from, for instance, Hetalia or Scandinavia and the World; still I'm currently exchanging PMs 74s to tone the offensiveness of the cursing.

The cursing is fine, as long as it's appropriate.
As for the finnish thing, just make like little vignettes to show what it's like or means to be Sisu
He should lead the team in moral decisions and firm their resolve and faith
This is an important trait and effectively makes him the handler of the team.
He has some empathic power with his team-mates and reminds them to be strong by leading an example.
In narration, I expect you guys to work together to describe this.
Let Maegil know what your crab feels. Tell him if you have ideas.
I don't think he's the Leader but Xantalos is a strong possiblity because of the passionate and fluid character - both good traits for a leader and I think it'd work very well (so far)
A leader will make cursory (very rough) plans for the team, and be responsible for their safety. You all have to communicate.
The contrast between Maegil's calmness and Xantalos' energy should be the setting for the crabs mood.
Every crabs mood will depend on every writer. Suggest ideas if you have them, especially in play.
I prefer and reward creativity: no "smash until its done" here, you need to think about a short-term plan in EVERY scene, and a long-term plan for EACH delivery. You are a team, so work together and it'll be fine
Situations are complex with factors such as cover, direction, passage, threat, escalation, surprise attacks and ambushes, and enemies get free actions on the team to make them do shit I want them to do.
If I want a monster to tear the roof off the truck and snatch a crab in it's gaping maw, I fucking will and you probably will die if you don't pull together.
The other thing is mood: no one can do it if they don't want to.

FOR NOW: EVERYONE CHILL THE FUCK OUT, RELAX AND JAM, THROW ON SOME TUNES AND KICKBACK BECAUSE THIS TRUCK AIN'T READY TO LEAVE YET.
We need to get everyone ready and it might take a while, so for now you're all officially on leave/vacation until the game gets warm/hot enough.
Mull over ideas, thoughts and suggestions until it speaks to you then write it down
You have to cultivate words and sentences like a fucking garden, and this game is fertiliser for your imagination.
I am GODDESS' SERVANT TO MAKE THESE CRABS BAD-ASS MOTHERFUCKERS.
She doesn't want her crabs to fail or die from boredom or disinterest.
I can quickly escalate drama and tension, but you have to trust me and WORK WITH ME during narration, otherwise it'll be a flop.
I'm willing to negotiate most things but I need to add details here and there. so do you. That's the only way it'll work. Fucken promise!
It's either interesting shit or no shit at all.

[lawastooshort]

it loosens my grip on reality

At the same time, you're preparing to RP a truck driving crab. I don't personally have a problem driving with a peyote-enhanced massive fucking crab, as long as he gets shit done.

[Infinityforce]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So far there are five players
FFFFFFFF
lawastooshort as : Terence "Motherfuckin'" Johnson ; Heart-Broken Fighter Crab a brawling, dancing, bearded crab, with a lost love
FFFFFFFF
Xantalos as : Xantalos Lepras Shenlong Huang, Fighter Crab A psychedelic shaman warrior with knives and guts

LLLLLLLLLFFFFDD
My Name is Immaterial as : "Big Bill" Jimmy ; Mean Bastard Lifter Crab a tiny ball of energy who can fix anything by swining around huge girdersl

DDDDDDDLLLLFF
snow dwarf as : George McPunch'face ; Steely Driver Crab with nerves of fuckin' steel, mean as a cuss, hardworking and always reliable
DDDDDDDFFFFLL
Maegil as : Markko "Erinomainen" Härkönen, a Finnish Rally Driver Crab who handles whatever shit the crew come across by running it over and throwing cars at it


We have a deficit of Lifters, so if either Xantalos and/or lawastooshort want to be sub-lifters that is okay. I think it might be okay if you're both lifters, and if another crab joins, that person would be either lifter or fighter.

The ideal ratio for a team is
Lifting power 3 : Fighting power 2 : Driving power 1
So we need more lifters our ratio is like
Lifting 6: Fighting 11: Driving 7


IF ANYONE WANTS TO CHANGE AROUND OR SWAP STUFF THATS FINE JUST LET ME KNOW ASAP AND I'LL WORK ON IT AS SOON AS I CAN THANKS

[Infinityforce]

Okay, one little thing, I'd like everyone to write 1 scene.
The subject of the scene can be "fighting an enemy", "inside your crab", "friendship between crabs", "journeying and trucking" , "the past" etc,
So, here, we can have some description of a monster, an attack or fighting, a moment between crabs, a glimpse or insight of a crab alone or with others, some history, backstory, legend or lore, or whatever you want.
Make it short or long as you want, just make sure you feel good about it.

[lawastooshort]

We do have a deficit of lifters, but I can see Terence and Mr Baileys fighting back to back on top of the truck whilst swarmed by meanass lobsters, and afterwards Mr Baileys gives Terence a wad of peyote, and he has this crazy religious experience that finally gets him off the drink forever, because he sees the Crab Mother Goddess projecting Martha like a 200 foot tall hologram into the sky saying, dude, quit the drinking, and I'll come back, and love you long time forever, and Terence swears off the drink forever to make it true and is struck by this like golden melody that haunts him for seven days and seven nights, then he just picks up his guitar, and plays it, and out comes this most beautiful love song and he goes teetotal and turns to religion, and all the bro-crabs shed a manly crabtear, but then George passes the whiskey, and Terence gets baddrunk, and ends up in a fight with the bouncers at the local strip club and his friends have to come and haul him away.

Afterwards Terence is convinced that Mr Baileys is some total badass kind of crabshaman who has a direct link to the Crab Goddess, under the right circumstances, which mostly involve drugs and fighting, and so is even more protective of him than he might be otherwise. Only Mr Baileys is going to be able to help him get off the drink and get back his woman.

Also, Terence has his lasso, which can kind of lift things a bit.

oh, ninja'd - well, this is a damn scene.

[Infinityforce]

I like the ideas. Keep em coming. It's good if Mr Bailey is the lead fighter or something. Maybe like a big brother type shit and teaches stuff, but Terence is a prodigious and true-hearted warrior, pure and full of strength.

EDIT: I can see that "scene" has different parts to it. Choose 1 and elaborate on it.
Maybe you like some aspects of the scene more than others. Play it up and make it interesting.
Your sentences should make ME and other players feel something. Use the word motherfucking or fucking as gratuitously as you need I don't mind.
Enjoy the scene in your mind and write whatever comes out. Just be honest to your feelings and you will speak to mine



SOME OF THE ENEMIES I PLAN TO INCLUDE:

Spoiler: Bastards you need to kill (click to show/hide)

Tarantula Bikers - Many limbed biker freaks! They wear leather jackets, smoke cigarettes and wield guns and knives.
Military Parachute Scorpions - Huge fucking scorpions! They rear up on their hind legs, but charge and attack with pincers. Can scuttle on buildings and surfaces. Come heavily armed.
Scientists - Want to disect you and do experiments and shit on crabs.
Crazies - Convinced that crabs are trying to take over the world or want to hurt people
Psychos - Just want to hurt you/others and cause pain
Hungry People - Want to eat crabs cus the wastes are barren
Thieves - Want the delivery/cargo
Mercenaries - Want to stop the delivery/cargo, kidnap someone, steal something or otherwise
Heretical Crabs - Crabs who've disavowed the Crab Goddess and turned their back on the Sacred Mountain
Dracula Crab - ? ? ? ? ? ?
Water beasts - Nasties with tentacles that live in the water, ancient sea monsters, other wierd shit like psychic fish and aquatic life
Hippo Prostitutes - fuckin nasty as shit but okay
Rhino Gangsters - tough russian-like mafia dudes
Elephant Junkers - repairs and modifies the truck with enormous strength
Giant Eagles - will attack you often



Gun-totin' - crazy hillbillies and rednecks, all of them deformed, mutated and very angry that you're on their land
Bike-ridin' - tarmac-loving gangsters who drive on all roads and assault the truck and crabs
Truck-rammin' military bastards who will try to blow you open for the sake of 'law and order' and experiments
Churnin' Bitin' Chewin' bastard fuckers who will try to eat you cus they're monsters big as houses
AND MANY MANY MANY MANY MORE

EDIT: FUCK I should syndicate this. But I'd spend more time doing that then writing the fucking thing. I've pre-written some scenes for the crabs to go through, but without tailoring it is a little pointless.
Every scene is an opportunity for the team.
Narration gets broken down like this

Spoiler: HOW TO NARRATE A SCENE, SUCCESS AND FAILURE (click to show/hide)

###NARRATION: I SET THE SCENE
I tell you what's going on in the game. I just tell you some details and give you ideas. If you need to know something, ask
Example; "some tarantula motorbike fuckos fuck with the truck"
###LEADER OR MOST PROMINENT CRAB: LEADS THE SCENE AND ALL CRAB ACTIONS
Someone takes the lead and co-ordinates the crabs. This person describes what the teams reaction or action is, for example
Example; "Xantaloficago is close by and instantly flips out. He squishes the fucko flat. The other Truckers are alerted"
###OTHER CRABS TAKE IT IN TURN TO DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THEIR ACTIONS
Various players comment, add, expand to the story, lines and paragraph at a time.
Flesh out the action and the scene. Make it cinematic and insert dialogue/detail.
Example; "My crab laughs and points at the fucko, steals the fuckos shit"
"My crab feels bad and says a prayer for the deceased"
"My crab responds to the act: "Wow! So amaze! Great Crabe!"
###SUMMARY POST
Either I, scene leader, or another crab wraps up this round of actions/reactions. They also narrate the next scene (if there is more stuff)
They basically have to say what the total effect of action was.
"You killed the fucker.
Then (NEW SCENE)) 20 of his angry-looking gangster friends step out of the shadows holding knives and guns. You hear crashing sounds as the bastards punch through the back of the truck to steal what's inside"
Then, again, a scene leader will lead the scene
"George is IN THE TRUCK and unhappy that they tampered with the truck. He gets up from the cab to deal with them"
Someone else can join in
"Big Billy picks up a sheet of cast iron and hurls it at a group of the fuckers"
Then I do some rolling like so and (usually) YOU narrate the result like so:
(success)
"George sees a tarantula entering the truck, he punches him back out!"
(failure)
"George tries to hit a tarantula, but it's too late and the gangster enters the truck. Another one begins to enter through the hole as well"

(success)
"Big Billy hurls the sheet of iron and it catches 4 or 5 of those shit-heads pretty bad. They all fall over and lay on the ground, splattered and moaning. The others flinch and hesitate."
(failure)
"Big Billy hurls the sheet of iron, but the tarantulae advance. They avoid being struck by the sheet, and it sails off into the distance. The tarantulae are close (melee range) to Big Billy now"

And so on.
