Once again my apologies everyone. I hate stutter-stepping when a game is new. I hope I didn't lose anyone.

I should be okay to move forward more smoothly next week.

I'm just glad you communicated this with us!  That's key for any type of PbP.  No worries on my end.

To Tessa:

I have a message for you on Character Creation Thread.

Also, on my thread (1.1), Lilith is sending you a text message:
"I need to call/see you later!!! Can't talk right now. Do you have a cousin named Aaron?"
I think is fine to reply in there, if you don't read or you make abstraction of the rest of the text in there. Please take into consideration that the time on 1.1 is Just after Sunset. So basically you will receive the text later than on your personal thread.

Well, I'd like to say that whether or not she responds would depend mostly on whether or not Padbit tells Tessa she can text everyone else or not--I'll sneak in a response ASAP if it's an affirmative on phone use generally. :)

Poor Tessa.

That's a lot of texts about creepy dudes looking for her.

I always forget about texting. I started playing Urban Fantasy games before cell phones were a thing. And my imagination still hasn't ever really caught up.

It was well into the 2010's before I stopped having plot hooks like 'there's a mystery surrounding this easily Googleable thing.'

That's why I asked before just bringing said creeper to her house...

:P

hehehe.

Everyone, I've done a retcon. I've changed everyone's thread to 'Just Before Sundown.' I was going for a thing with the shifting time frames, but I think it's causing more problems than it's solving.

So we're all in the same time now.

Let me know if that messes anything up for anyone.

I actually love that change.  That will make it so much easier to overpower Twiddles and turn him into the other Wolves in order to save my own skin.  Kidding!

I have a question regarding faction moves and advancement.  The way I read it, the book requires you to mark all four factions to advance.  In the Debts and Advancement Tracker on here, it only asks for three.  I assume this is to help speed up advancement in a slow medium.  My question is if we have to mark the three other factions, or if it is any three factions?  For example, George succeeded at Putting a Face to a Name on his own faction.  Does he mark an advancement, or does it not count due to him being a Night and the NPC being a Night?  I'm happy either way, just looking for clarification.

Any three will do. I'd rather not skip the same Faction twice or more in a row, but we'll see how complex that makes things as we go.

So yes, George is 33% in his way to an Advance.

I rarely use the phone (if available in the setup). But when I'm apart from the group and I need to contact them, suddenly I remember I have a phone :))

Okay...work has settled down enough for me to start breathing again...

Give me a few days to get up to speed on everything (it's taken me until tonight to get caught up on a game I've been in for the better part of a decade, this one is next on the 'catch up' list), and I'll be ready to start getting involved in everything.

Bad George! Bad!

Dont make me get the rolled up newspaper!

:P

Oh goodness, I just updated my Debts tracker.  I went from somewhat balanced (early in our discussions) to owing everyone else so very much.  That might just become a part of who George is.

Planning a full update tonight.

Sorry, everyone, tonight do not happen. Tomorrow for sure.

I'm not sure if 'Hitting the Streets' was appropriate in that situation, but it seemed the closest to what I was trying to do.

Twiddle and Lilith, I've responded to your respective text messages in my own thread. You can see the text in Coral color. :)

Don't worry gang, I might be joining you all shortly.  In the meantime, I should point out that George doesn't have a cell phone.  Or maybe he does, but no plan.

Replied!

And George, Twiddle would certainly get you a cell phone. Most of his messages to said phone go something like this:

WLYD HUNT HERE! GET YOUR FURRY FORM MOVING ASAP!

With a handy link leading to 'how to find this phone in one easy click'.

I'll get a post up tomorrow--I've just had the finale of a Masks campaign, so I'm a bit tired out from that. :)

Lilith: office camera approved. That's completely in line with the 'permission rather than forgiveness' rule.

Thank you! I'll edit my last post

Do I know the guy in the picture?

Give me a Put a Face to the Name roll. I'll let you know about marking a Faction once I adjudicate the roll.

In reply to System (msg # 40):


21:38, Today: Twiddleskimershim rolled 12 using 2d6+1.  Put a name to a face-Mortals.

If its anything but night, its a 12. If its night, then its a 10.
