Well, like VV said, most of us didn't actually take part in that discussion...

But I stand by my earlier assertion that you were avoiding competition.

Gabriel Thornton:
I just want to add that I did not want to leave anyone out of the yeeting thread. We did describe it so that there was too little waiting, sorry for that. For me it is the lingering effect of the overwhelming Elysium thread, I was not aware of all who were interested.


For real don't worry about it, I personally don't feel left out and I'm happy peeps are having fun~

Valkyrja really.  Don't have me put an ankle locator on you.

I doubt you'd want to follow that signal most nights, Your Majesty ;)

Angel:  we're still working up to the first yeeting, but I'll report back either with numbers or with a new character, lol.

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

Gotta get home first, to my books. I was surprised to remember that 99% of my WoD 1st ed stuff is only physical, I have since then switched to 99% digital materials. Easier to buy a new hard drive than new book cases and bigger houses. Got quite invested to str and Vigor, but now I am beginning to think I should have gone all in and get str 5 and Vigor 5 just because it was possible... I don't even plan to fight any more than is absolutely necessary =D

EDIT: By the way GM, is there a roll that could be made by Vika for her to be considered an aerodynamic object ?

Sadly I don’t think so. Humanoids simply aren’t aerodynamic objects!

Need more ranks in protean, Dolphins are pretty aerodynamic. Or better yet ranks in "The Show" which was totally my backup concept.

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

The jeeted would need to squish up small to allow the jeeter to get a good grip around center of mass and work up to the jeet with a couple of spins, kind of like a discus thrower. And the jeeted would then unfurl in mid air to achieve maximum distance -- and be ranked no doubt on form and style.

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

With protean there could be other forms, a rat or a bat would probably be almost a ball, and be size 1 probably. Those would probably fly almost 100 yrds =D.

I still think a 1-dot merit would be appropriate to allow a humanoid creature to train poses that could be considered aerodynamic and hold them while flying. Not sure why anyone would take such a thing ever though ;D

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

I think a turtle or a pangolin would be better. They are round and dense. Throwing a rat is like throwing sytrofoam.

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

I think transforming into something smaller totally negates the granduer of it all. And the flailing and flapping of the projectile as they fly through the air makes a better spectacle.

So dolphin is ideal?


EDIT: Can we extend fangs no matter the form? Imagine people going skinny dipping and being all amazed that a dolphin came out to play but then it bites them and sucks their blood.

EDIT EDIT: If not and you have the swarm form thing can you turn into a swarm of leeches...

Pure theoreticals in any case. I suppose one of the other Gangrel probably has that level of Protean. Turning into a Yorkie would allow you to just walk up to people in the street and bite them without anyone thinking it's odd...

I think something stronger than caffeine might be required.

I seem to recall a certain masquerade game where a rat was very aerodynamic....well until it hit a metal door gate and died........

Just as a heads up that I'm going out this evening and will likely be a bit scarce over the weekend due to father day plans and what not. I'll do my best to reply to PMs and threads as time allows :)

Re: OOC Chatter, Q&A, etc.

Angel:  Since you asked, here's an excerpt from the first gangrel yeet, in all its glory ;)
Vika Voracious:
Vika rocketed off the start line toward Gabriel at blistering speed, albeit not the Beast-augmented celerity Shadows and Succubi were known for, but rather pure, animal athleticism.  Her boots beat the turf as she closed the distance in moments, leaped with both feet onto his waiting hands to land in a crouch.  A split-second later Vika's legs extended at the same moment Gabriel lifted with tremendous strength, catapulting her up-up and away toward the wooded ridge!  V.V.'s elated voice carried across the fairway as she sailed over the forty-foot wooded ridge, "WOOOO-HAAAAAAA--oh shi--!"  The last exclamation was cut short when she crashed loudly into the underbrush somewhere past the ridgeline.

There was a moment of silence, then another, stretching longer...

"THAT WAS SO FUCKING AWESOOOOME!" Vika's voice echoed down out of the treeline.  The bushes rustled as the gangrel punk burst out to stand with two fists upraised in triumph!

Have been a bit preoccupied, trying to get something posted in the next 24 hours in at least 2 IC threads.

As a heads up, I'll be switching dialogue color to ~green~ because it seems like I missed a great opportunity.
