All that brainpower and he can't spell charisma?

[Diablous]

Armok's spelling ability is... inconsistent.

[forsaken1111]

Well... whatever. Waiting on the next update myself.

[Knight85]

Hmm, it seems the fact that I happen to have a full soldiers kit that just happens to be sitting next to me has been outdone by the fact that Armok is Stephen Hawking..

[Rashilul]

Yeah, yeah, enough hating on Armok, already.

[forsaken1111]

Yeah, yeah, enough hating on Armok, already.

That was mostly you

[Rashilul]

Sorry, sorry, I should stop now.

[Armok]

Um,  I'm a world bending scientific genius BY MEDIEVAL STANDARDS, I dabble in all sorts of useful stuff, and really knowing a bit of termodynamics and basic laws of motion, a good chunk of evolutionary biology, and some highscool maths lets you firly easily emulate most of those things at a level of a mideveal person having practiced for years of you have my real main skill: applying knowledge from one feld into another. But thats another level of though than skills, wich is what is listed here.

Sounds like the problem is you rated your skills in comparison to the average medieval person, everyone else compared themselves to the average modern person. I at least only listed skills I think I am significantly better than most people at.

Anyway: I see how many rocks I can carry in my pockets before being encumbered.

I probably did some unholy mix betwen those, really. Not to mention it's relly hard to list your own skills like this withoute bias.

[dragnar]

The bias really depends on the pesron. Some people overestimate themselves, some underestimate themselves. But yeah, there's always gonna be bias one way or the other.

[Samthere]

And some people really aren't good at knowing what to say about themselves
Okay, moving on from stat discussion (I'm sure it can be evened out somehow if any of these stats play any important role), look at the sky and see if I can tell which way is North by instinct, as well as the general directions to several nearby settlements (or possible ruins); also see if I can set vegetation on fire without using any tools

[Karnewarrior]

ACTIONS:

I look around for a wagon, or any other supplies we may have which didn't come from the 'real world'.

There is no wagon, nor any sort of Dwarfy engineering.

Look around, searching for a wooded area or some hills to mark the landscape, try to indetify anything useful as cover.

"So, how did you guys end up here?"

The land is flat, with scattered trees. To the west are some small, dark bumps. They appear to be quite sharp...

I flip the fuck out while subconsciously checking what I have and if I'm fine.

You are fine, even while you "flip the fuck out".

How astute of you. This helps with nothing.

I noticed this and just had to at least write up a character sheet even if I end up on a waiting list, especially considering the bags sitting next to my computer desk right now, I bet I'll throw off the GM's expectation of items a bit.

Luckily, the safety was on, because when you open the bag to check your gun, theres a small stone lodged in front of the trigger.

Anyway: I see how many rocks I can carry in my pockets before being encumbered.

One... Two... Three. Three rocks! They are fairly large rocks though, and quite swell for tossing at things you wouldn't touch with an Eleven-foot-pole.

And some people really aren't good at knowing what to say about themselves

Your instincts don't seem to be very good, you only succeed in finding a bunny shaped cloud. There is nothing to go on for sapient life, either.

Earth Time (GMT): 12:30 PM

((Armok, are you like, an autistic savant or something? I find it hard to belive someone with that large of a skill list screws up "About". I guess I'll let you in, but I will be reducing some of your skillage. It's overpowering, wether true or not. Sorry, mate.))
