thanks suzumi
Ladder theory? I haven't actually player resident evil or left for dead, so I may be missing out on some of your terms.
As for Hax, he's aluding to one of the options for dead players in this game. However it seems in between he's decided to freeform a bit. For all we know he's halucenating.
Though one thing to his credit is how well he's handled character death. No PMs whinging that I'd charged to much Karma in the past or that he should be able to fix the wound or anything like that. He knew the risks, fought hard, and eventually had a roll go bad when he didn't have karma left.
Huh??
I've never played any of those games, so I wouldn't know either. =P But I thought there was a basic theory with most zombies that says that they can't climb ladders (for reasons I know not of).
And I didn't know that there were people who complained because of bad luck with their rolls. Because it's just that; bad luck. O_o
ELPHABA LIVES!!
Actually this has been a great group of people as far as not complaining when fate is rough on them goes. It's just that it's different when instead of just loosing a couple Karma your character is dead. I'd worried about how that would actually play out, but both LB and Hax have been good about it.
As for what they can and can't do, to a degree that's a matter of players having to find that out. However they have been seen to climb trees as you'd noted.
Anyway I'm giving more time for some people to post, but unless I get caught up in real life I'll make a post where I presume those that haven't replied hesitated and move forward. That's actually somewhat realistic, but more is the only way to keep the game moving at a reasonable pace when dealing with groups of players.
By the way for the new people. I'm always here as a resource to help you get up to speed if you fall behind or generally could use some assistance in forming a post. I don't always know when you're confused or swamped. Usually I believe players have what they need to make their next post.

Hey sunnyside, I am really limited to my internet time so I won't be able to post so much until this weekend.
Roleplayer, gamer girl, band nerd, and ROTC cadet.
You ain't got nothin' on me.
I just felt it necessary (mostly because I have felt the urge to do so more often then not, recently), to stop in and let you all know that I may not be posting for a week or two (and I am deeply apologetic about not posting already...for a few weeks as it has already been).
I really am sorry that it has taken me so long to do anything, let alone respond, but between work and school, it has, to say the least, felt hectic. And, with finals approaching excruciatingly soon, I have a lot to work on, study for, and some work to catch up on at that. Not to mention projects and papers as well.
Again, I am truly very sorry about making everyone wait, and well, continue to wait... I will try to post as soon as I possibly can.
All I can really say is, thank you for your time and patience, because at this rate, you all have the patience of gods. *Laughs* Anyway, I feel bad because I could have spent the time writing this post, here, writing a response in the RPG. Sigh
I will be as soon as I can. I miss you all. And thank you so much for waiting for so bloody long!
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." ~Aristotle
Well, I will say that you surprised me, and probably Suzumi and Maru as well, when you elected to be a spirit guide instead of one of the more combat oriented options, and didn't even take the option to upgrade to a wolf or something.
Actually I'd like to hear Suzumi's opinion on this. Previously you two were really at each other, and as you'll recall we were discussing seperating you two before you had to go to a hospital for bursting a vein.
However now you're a support type character that isn't so much in a position to do much more than mess up her hair. And I suppose we're even risking getting into the slapstick comedy zone since your connection to Thomas means that even if she stomps or shoots you, you'll be back before too long.
In any case I'd like to hear it from both people that you're up for giving RPing together another chance. Or I suppose some sort of seperation could still be engineered.
Actually Lucious is probably about to get banished. But again his connection to Thomas will make that far from permanent nor as effective as their Kahuna would like.
I had no idea that there was an option where you could "come back" at all. I thought once your character died, they stayed dead. And I'm not really surprised about Hax's character. Just confused. I have no idea what is going on with him. He's a bird that's somehow stuck to Thomas and he wants to mess up Jessica's hair...? O_o
And in Jessica's defence, she had absolutely no idea that Lucius was shot or the fact that the drop into the other gorge was that deadly. So she simply assumed that he just randomly tackled the soldier, making them both fall. She probably thinks they are both laying unconscious down at the bottom of the gorge, suffering from nothing more some slight whiplash.
And neither Jessica nor Mana have been properly introduced to the group that were in the upturned van. So it's not really her fault that she doesn't know Thomas' name.
[edit]
Oh, and if Owlucius is going to be flying around and annoying Jessica, then I can't guarantee that she won't cook him and feed him to Zeus.

Wait, what? Tom is gonna die, then!?
O NOES!!!!
I r dewmed.
What do you mean by banished anyway? I want to mess up Jessica's hair and peck at her sometimes.
Anyway, I didn't whine in PM about me dying. I outweigh the normal RPer?
I like to call this into question. Can you clarify what I've quoted?(Lucuios is still being shoved back when he tries to get closer, but if people start chatting it'll soon wear off. Also Suzumi sounds OK giving RPing with Hax another go so we're fine there.)
I already know about the part with Suzu not having much offense against me personally. After all, she said it herself, sunny.
See what I mean?I have nothing against Hax. I am just having a hard time putting up with his character.
Moving on,
Main matter: I assume you have something against me, personally. Well, since you feel I run rampant about assuming what logic can explain and what a creative imagination can make to break the bonds of logic in a story, let alone an RPG, I will let Sunny do more of the talking in my behalf.
As for the rebirth thing, he PMed me. I will send the proof your way now.

I am REALLY confused about what is going on with Christine Daae's character. I remember that Light Buster had his characters put Agatha in the van, but after reading her latest post, she seemed to be somewhere else.
ELPHABA LIVES!!
I thought I tried to hint about that in the OP and a couple times. Maybe people just thought I meant their char would come back as a nasty NPC under my control.
In any case when a character dies they aren't out of the game, rather they have a number of different options. Andrew selected one, and Hax selected a different on (but what he picked was the last thing I expected).
He doesn't seem to be in especiall trouble at the moment. Kei's character was the one heavily in the mix.
A effect that, had you been a different type of dead, would have put you out of the action completely for a while.What do you mean by banished anyway? I want to mess up Jessica's hair and peck at her sometimes.
But in any case it's a temporary effect. What I meant in that statement was that right at that moment your character is still being forced away. But now that the immenent danger has passed people in the group might start chatting and wandering around, and after a minute or so passes in game the force holding Lucuious back will weaken and vanish, allowing him to rejoin the group.
She mentions the other group so she knows that. She's either having a flashback or she's left the van to look for the other group. I've sent a PM just to make sure we get it right. Mostly I think she's just still working on catching up.
Sunny, I sent Maru a PM as proof that we had our conversation about me coming back and all. If you scroll up, you can clearly see that she is speaking of me in a negative manner.
*searches*
*finds*
The above statement was mentioned by Suzu. Maru followed up with this...Ummm, I never confirmed the fact that the pilot that Lucius killed was Jessica's older brother. So yeah... >_> I have no idea who this spirit/whatever Lucius is trying to fight. And I have no idea why he knows Jessica.
Surely this would insinuate that she is speaking of me in a negative and condescending manner.He -loves- to do stuff like this. He assumes whatever he wants and runs ramped with it.
Im interested to know if this 'rebirth' thing was approved of before-hand, though knowing him, chances are it wasnt
picking up weapons- basically can you do it and is there any limits on say how good the weapon can be?
iv just realised my character is unarmed
Hax, seriously...have a whinge. >_>
ELPHABA LIVES!!
You don't have to have a special weapon skill or anything to use a weapon. Though a skill would make you better.
As for getting one you have to find it. You can generally describe your character finding simple improvised weapons that would logically be where you are. For example finding a kitchen knife in a kitchen, a table leg in a dinning room, or for your character a wrench or hammer in a workshop.
For good weapons like guns, swords, or chainsaws you'd only be able to get them in game if I described one in the location you're at. There is also the "weapon" advantage that some people have used to start with a good weapon.
For stuff in between we might be able to work something out using your characters free karma. Everyone starts with ten karma, mostly it's used to avoid attacks that would have seriously injured your character, but it can be used proactively in a number of ways, such as finding a decent weapon.
i.e.
improvised wooden club -can probably just break off a table leg or pick up a fallen branch in a woods
simple wood axe- could get one if I described one where you are, or you could use a some Karma to find one
razer sharp battle axe- could get one if I described one being where you are, or a character could have started with one or maybe find one later by using an advantage.
Probably more than I needed to say, but hopefully that's clear.
---------------------------------
At Hax.
For reference since I don't think Suzumi wants the pilot you killed to have been related to her character and much of that scene wouldn't exactly fit with how I imagined things going. So for now lets leave it up in the air whether or not that's all in his head.
Regarding coming back. She doubted if it was approved. It was. Both of us mentioned that. Perhaps she'll think better of you next time, and lets please leave it at that before I have to break out my drama llama pics. :P

I found this amusing in thought but don't confuse that for some form of praise. If I wanted to praise you, I'd be calling your attempt at putting me in a foul mood "cute". In addition, I'd be encouraging you to do it more often. Since I am doing neither of the sort, I will instead go back to laughing at the attempt and leave it at that.Hax, seriously...have a whinge. >_>
If she didn't want that, then she should have PMed me or something to be straightforward about the issue. Still, if it pleases the court, I shall portray it as an imposter...one who lolowl thought was the pilot but was not the pilot.For reference since I don't think Suzumi wants the pilot you killed to have been related to her character and much of that scene wouldn't exactly fit with how I imagined things going.
As you said in our talks, sunny, some memories would probably be lost. Recognition of facial attributes, voice and other various details would be included as a part of that, right? Therefore, the "pilot" Lucius had defeated would not have really been THE pilot he wanted to defeat. He could have been given false messages to make him believe that who he fought was the pilot.
amirite?

I did tell you to have a whinge, but I didn't think you'd take me up on it.
Ho hum and bottle of rum~
And how was I supposed to know that you were going post that whole "fighting by the river of death" whateverthehellthatwas? Maybe you should have PMed me if you wanted to use my NPC. >_>
And I'm still confused about where the hell Christine Daae's character is. If she got out of the van when Saizo left it, then she would be way too far away from Zeus for him to be able to hear her even if he did have some super sonic hearing (which, considering Christine Daae's posts till now, he probably does).
And I am the only one here that cares that her character doesn't really seem to be affected by her punctured lung, several spear wounds, and now her fractured leg? Or all we all allowed to have our characters be extremely spry despite the fact that they are half dead?
