Putting some stuff on brief hold until I feel a bit more comfortable about Irma.

Re: OOC Topic

Apologies for the slow posting lately.  My classes have just started ramping up and I'm getting big projects on a weekly basis.

Understandable, they just passed my capstone about five minutes ago so I feel your pain.

Re: OOC Topic

Thanks everyone,

Just wrapped up my biggest project last night.  Down to one more graded assignment but it's nowhere near as long.  Thanks for being patient with me and my apologies.

Re: OOC Topic

I hope everyone's doing well!  Happy holidays!  Some news:
  • Holiday Bonus:  +5 XP, can be spent immediately, with immediate effects.
  • Fuck I'm Busy Bonus:  +2 XP, can be spent immediately, with immediate effects.
  • Jesus Christ My Wife's Cat Won't Get the Fuck Off of the Keyboard Bonus:  Take an immediate specialty in a non-combat, non-QW-related skill.
  • Wife and I bought a house!  We plan on moving the 7th, so from here on out posts will be even more sporadic (I know, I know...) because I'll only be able to post from work for a bit.

Re: OOC Topic

Still working on the move, everyone!  Still no internet at home.  Sorry if I've lost track of the Storming thread choices, but I've moved some stuff around, so you guys should pick a door.

Re: OOC Topic

Concerning combat and timezones: would it be silly for all of us to post our rolls in different order if we have the time to do it as long as there is no enemy turn in between us?

Ofcourse still treating them in the initiative order.


In example: in this current thread it might unnecessarily prolong the battle because I could post myself now at the day, and Gabriel can post prolly later in thr night for us which might mean that Arkady posts tomorrow. Making one turn last three days.

Suggest something if you have better ideas :D or if this has been solved already

Re: OOC Topic

I agree with Aila. It's not like it matters who deals the killing blow :D

Re: OOC Topic

Posting order won’t change the order of events, just possibly the order of declarations. it saves massive amounts of time by changing the posting order from
GM-> PC1 -> GM -> PC 2 -> GM -> PC3 -> GM

to

GM -> (PCs 1,2,3 in any order) -> GM

While there’s a slight tactical disadvantage to not seeing the results of every action before declaring yours, I’d be more than happy to make that sacrifice for expedience’s sake.

Re: OOC Topic

While I won't object to the streamlining it does restrict tactics more than a little. The status of Waves, Disrupts, Disorients, and any ability that triggers off of something else (like if an opponent is wounded) seems like it might lead to a lot of nested if/then statements.

Doesn't really matter with Grunt, because none of his particular suite involve most of those things except some Wave influencing stuff. Just pointing it out.

.....and I'm really showing my roots in how this is the Exalted Transparency Problem in my head.

Re: OOC Topic

Fair point, it's potentially more than a little troublesome - but compared to taking a week of irl time per round of combat... Daniel will have talked through the personal histories of everyone on the Jagganathika in detail by the time the boarding party's done :D

Re: OOC Topic

To be frank I'd rather spend the time RPing, than just waiting for someone to take their turn. I don't have any suggestions how to make it better, but I'd just hope things to flow smoother. Like now a week went past, and we have managed to get through one round just barely.

I'm ready to give up on tactics to get a move on. Its hardly inspirational for anyone to be stuck grinding the same thing for a half a year.

edit: sorry about my rant :D

Re: OOC Topic

I'm of the opinion that we have to streamline the posting process.  If something fucks up tactically I'll try to solve it by awarding joss to the offended PC/NPC to compensate.  I'm having a hard enough time posting, and that's not because I'm not invested, just my life has gotten so damn busy at work, school, and at home.  I'm still trying to find my feet here.

Also everyone take 5 XP for RAISINS.

Re: OOC Topic

Life finds a way...to ruin and complicate the fun things in it! Despite my previous rant keep up the good work! I just do it because I like the game and most certainly dont want it to be an extra burden to the GM.

Also yay XP. I havent even thought out what to do with all the previous ones.
