But I just finished my gang post!  D:


Okay, done with the gang.  From what's been said in IRC, members are Egan (if his crow gang doesn't get recruits), Radio_Controlled, and myself.  Possible additional members are Pancaek, MidnightJaguar, and Devastator.  Plus anyone who wants to join the gang masterminded by the entire military intelligence divisions of both original Perplexicon teams.

Piecewise, I have questions for you.  I always have questions.

Spoiler: Questions for Piecewise.  Please do not read if you are not Piecewise, or planning to join ZZ.  Please do not discuss outside of spoilers. (click to show/hide)

1. Do we get to know what the word distributions are for territories before we select our permanent words?  For obvious reasons, common words are relatively poor initial picks, so if firearm words are very common, you don't really need to have infinite firearm words to start.
2. Can we pick our own starting territory, based upon what has the words we want?  This is very important, due to HQs having double hands and our HQs words being nearly as important as our gang words.
3. Can "Crow" be made an A word, rather than a B word?  Crows are relatively useless animals, and I think it would placate ER from his psychotic CAWing.  Similarly, the other creature words have no power segregation, despite that definitely being a thing, and A doesn't actually cheapen them all that much since you still need flesh or something to get living examples.
4. Is "Cloud" opaque, or is it realistic and therefore near useless?
5. Is LargeFirearm large as in LMG, or large as in field piece?  Is it man-portable?
6. Can we buy or steal mundane (and therefore permanent) guns and armor?  Or are these things which we MUST produce to use in any significant amount?
7. Do conditionals need to be bound to a mark to function?  Or would "Repair WhenNearDeath" alone function?
8. Speaking of, can "WhenNearDeath" activate if you're going to die in a half second, and potentially save you?  For instance, when you're decapititated?
9. I am sorry for abusing your PTSD.

Spoiler: Gang!  Again, please no spies, please no unspoilered discussion. (click to show/hide)

Name: Zerthel Zentol
Colors: Dark Gray, Warm Orange, Pitch Black
Symbol: Sure, if I know for sure this gang gets in.  Otherwise, Egan's image.  _{Maybe Egan's image regardless, 'cause I'm lazy.}

Words:
A: Cloud, Wall, FireForward, Crow, MarkCaster'sEyes
B: AffectUser, LargeFirearm, Ammunition
C: Clockwork, Repair
D: Many

Leader: syvarris (I don't actually care that much, happy to concede it if someone I know and trust would prefer the position.)

Stats to come after I know who my allies are.  I'm all  about that stat synergy.

[Egan_BW]

I think rather than start my own gang I'll actually join syv's gang. As his character's daughter who is still obsessed with crows and also is looking to inherit the game when he gets offed.

Also swapped my stats around:
Name: Raven Feathra
Description: Raven is a VERY RAVENY GIRL. She has black hair, dark blue eyes, and looks all edgy and shit. She's really too young to lead a wizard gang, but carries herself with confidence and Murder.
Potency: d8
Memory: d6
Strength: d2
Dexterity: d4
Speed: d6
Vitality: d4
Endurance: d6
Intelligence: d10
Awareness: d8

ALSO NOTE THAT UNLESS SYV INCLUDES "ORNATE" IN HIS WORD LIST, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND START MY OWN GANG ANYWAY.

[Pancaek]

Just dropping in to say I'm interested in joining Syv's Gang. Character sheet coming soon^tm

*Shrug* if Egan wants he can dump his gang and join yours, but he seems to have demands.

Spoiler: Sy's secrets (click to show/hide)

1. No. But weaker words will always be pretty common, rarer words always rarer. There's no spot with 5 zentols.
2. You can pick your HQ based on whatever you want, but I don't reveal world lists. HOWEVER, what that territory is will determine the words in the list. If you want fire, don't go to a lake.
3.Yeah, I suppose.
4.Cloud's about as opaque as thick fog.
5. Depends on words around it. Anything from rifle to Howitzer, though you'll need to stack words for the larger stuff.
6.Holding certain areas may allow you to get certain mundane things.
7. Repair near death would work, but remember that if not marked, the spell just sits in place and when you're near death will repair whatever is around it.
8. It can, though you'd need a very potent spell to save you from extreme injuries.
9. You should feel sorry for abusing the other teams by making a giant gang with 3 times the number of people as the other gangs combined.

NOTE: SOME WORDS HAVE CHANGED CLASS

Specifically some animals. But no gang had them as part of their words other than Egan's so don't worry about it too much

[OceanSoul]

Yeah, I'm going with Syv's gang.

Spoiler: Question for Piecewise (click to show/hide)

What do you think about members breaking off from one guild to make another one?

[Rautherdir]

... Is it too late to switch out Air for Feline in my gang's list of words?

[ATHATH]

Yeah, I'm going with Syv's gang.

I'll join Syv's gang too, I guess.

Go ahead.

Yeah, I'm going with Syv's gang.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Only if there's a vacancy of gangs.

So far we have two gangs with like 1 person and then one giant gang. Thats ok, if you want, but It kind of undermines the point of the game and makes me want to force even teams. I mean, whats the point of gang wars when you have only 1 gang.

[Egan_BW]

Crushing the plebs beneath us, presumably.

[piecewise]

Up to you guys, I just wanna get started.

[piecewise]

Oh and I should point this out:

The gang starting words are given to each member of the gang. Each member gets a copy of that "Deck"

[syvarris]

Spoiler: Finished Gang; renamed to Roncal-thol Rotheleaod (click to show/hide)

Name: Roncal-thol Rotheleaod  (Roncal Roth or R&R for short)
Colors: Black.  Just black.  We're hyper goth, apparently.  If possible, we also integrate crow motifs into our outfits; think like this.
Symbol:

Words:
A: Cloud, Wall, FireForward, Crow, MarkCaster'sEyes
B: AffectUser, LargeFirearm, Ammunition
C: Clockwork, Repair
D: Many

HQ: (12,10), the Impromptu Mines West of the Tradesman's Tower.  IF I GOT THE COORDS WRONG, THAT'S THE FAULT OF YOUR WEIRD MAPPING PROGRAM.

Leader: syvarris (I don't actually care that much, happy to concede it if someone I know and trust would prefer the position.)

Accepted members are syvarris, Egan_BW, Radio_Controlled, and Pancaek, because it's no fun playing a gang containing 80% of the players.

My charsheet will come whenever I feel like it; don't wanna stare it the system any more right now.  This should be enough to get things started anyway. Done.

Spoiler: Character (click to show/hide)

Name: Corven Feathra
Description: An older man past his prime, Corven still carries himself with the intimidating aura you'd expect from a crime boss... except when he's dealing with his daughter, who he's completely incapable of saying "No" to.  That usually works out better than you'd expect, since he managed to get her the formal education he never had, though he still has wisdom on her.  Has something of an unhealthy obsession with birds, though not nearly as much so as his daughter.
Potency: d10
Memory: d6
Strength: d4
Dexterity: d8
Speed: d4
Vitality: d6
Endurance: d8
Intelligence: d2
Awareness: d6

((Minimum intelligence?  "But syv, I don't want to be in the gang led by the most idiotic character around!" I hear you say.  Never worry!  Corven mostly listens to his young daughter's extremely intelligent ideas, since she has max intelligence.

Not that that'll change who's coming up with plans out of character.))

I can't strike out on my own, can I?

Spoiler: Bow Down to Your Overlords (click to show/hide)

Name: The Magelords
Words:
A: Food, Water, Feathery, Ink, Paper
B: Large Firearm, Ammunition, Steel
C: Human, Controller
D: Viral (or Plague, depending on PW's answer)
Location: The upper-right hex of the Palace, obviously.

Spoiler: @PW (click to show/hide)

What's the difference between the Viral and Plague words, and which one would be better to create a human-controlling virus with?

I feel like SmallFirearms should be downgraded to A-rank; currently, there seems to be almost no reason to choose them over LargeFirearms.
