The last thread got stale, so I baked anew. This bread is filled with nuts, so it might aggravate allergies or bother anons with sensitive teeth.
Seriously though this is an RP thread; you've been warned.

Its true, Thez was excited at the prospect of the Football stadium,... but not the Casino, or the Steakhouse, or,... and as time went on and Trump immediately got jewy-eyed anytime a resource was even hinted at or suggested, her enthusiasm diminished. So, at THAT time, she took possession of what ducats she could, literally coughed up some of her own, and made a deal with the artisan (who shall remain nameless to avoid REEEEing), as well as the jeweler. Nothing was mentioned 'cuz Trump had proven that he could not be trusted with resources.

I'm talking about the Time Infernius went to the out-of-stock jewelry shop, and Tracy sniffed around while she was looking for hints to where the Jews were hiding their treasure.
The guy was going to change the shop, but then Thez came in with a bag of amazing items, talking about a certain artisan who wanted to have his crafts gain recognition in the trade.

The casino was nothing more than a pretext to try to stop Inferius from gebociding part of the town's population. It was never built not mentioned outside of one occasion

A pretext to thoroughly search the old Jew buildings for the missing treasure, cheap because of existing buildings, finance was never mentioned, and also could have brought profits (which, you know, could cover loans made to buy it. As in never using the party's funds). It was also never completed

what the actual fuck are you talking about? I don't remember this at all. I cannot read every single one of the literally 10,000+ RP posts that are made as a part of this game, and I cannot know everything that happens while I am in school, at work, driving halfway across the state, or flying to fucking Washington DC and New York for interviews. More to the point, why the hell would my character know everything that happened to people miles away and that he was never told about. He cannot be omniscient and should not be
>eminent domain
First off, that's a joke. Second, it didn't happen because the buildings were abandoned. Thirdly, it was against Jew buildings that were unused. Forgive me for making use of available resources

Well, I was going to have Tracy tell you about it, but I had to account for the fact that she was still salty from getting cucked that morning. My plan was to have her walk up the road alone to sort herself out, find the treasure, come back, and then tell you about everything (I figured you would've read it by then though).

>Try buttering up your waifu; She has all the information
If you are talking about Tracy, she could find it, but she'd steal a large portion for private use and then lie about the total size of the find. There's not really any way to discourage her from doing this either - when I am tried to but her up by appealing to her (non-existent) sense of duty to Port Barry or love for Trumpaladin all I got was "can we leave already?" indicating it didn't do anything. There is no buttering her up. If you leave money laying out, she steals it and lies about it when confronted, and she cannot be encouraged to do otherwise. I did think about having her find it, and there after finding where she hid it and taking it, but thars difficult. So I guess having Inferius accompany her and hopefully limiting the amount she could steal was the best available option, which is basically what I went with.

It's all for a public use, and every character is aware of the money, and has the chance to say something. Taking cores for a wedding and then lying about it is different from dedicating part of a large treasure for a library in Port Barry

Tracy's motives are unknown. She used to be more clingy and jealous, but as timr passes her actions have made less and less sense. Basically it's a case of "I do not know why she is doing any of this, but what she's doing is evil, the purpose is probably evil, and I fully believe she'd do it again."
Miscommunication and misunderstanding helps drive plot, so no need to clear anything at all up.

I mean I've been basing skill rolls off of a simple 20, which doesn't allow for modifiers or differences in degree of skill required.
Let me give you an example. A masterwork lock has a difficulty of 25, meaning the player would need 6 skill points in lockpicking in order to defeat it with anything more than a 20 (and in this case, a 19). Not knowing the iterated skills makes it far more difficult for me to explain the degree of how and why and what WRT situations, which is also why Tracy didn't sense anything from the shopkeeper in the first place.

I have no issues in writing feminine characters: I've written plenty of love stories with female protagonists.
*pony ears pick up mutter*
"A marriage isn't complete without a wedding, Flashy. I don't want to only be legally married by some markings on a piece of paper; I want a traditional marriage that can make our relationship special forever. Without the ceremony, there's no tradition, no grace, no commitment. I want to walk down the aisle and let you unveil me to see exactly who your waifu is. That's why I want to have our wedding ceremony soon, but I can wait until it's planed and prepared."
>bla bla would you do it?
*face comes up to yours, in a movement to cut you off*
"Shhhh... There's no need to worry. I'm sure that we can work anything we need out together. That's part of what a marriage is for, right?"

If Inferius were here, I'd test her out by asking her to stab Inferius in the anus again
We can end here, don't worry
"That's what I needed to know. And don't worry little pony, I want to be the best father ever to this little foal. Just as surely as my foal deserves a mother who is honest, trustworthy, a follower of Football - AMERICAN Football - who is dutiful to her country, and, you know, is mentally stable. *mutters "not a cauchemar"* My foal deserves only the best.

But it's a dead serious question that he needs a real and sincere answer to. If she's not willing to do certain things, or would do them only with extreme hesitance. When he said "anything," he meant anything. That doesn't just mean things she'd do on her own volition anyways (and by the way, she did stab Inferius in the anus on her own volition), but it also means the things she wouldn't want to do. This is important because I need a clear answer if to what degree she can be trusted with certain information and requests

Look at it this way, would you normally ask your pregnant wife, who just made it clear that she was fully committed to building a family with you, if she would kill anyone without question, just to prove how batshit she was for you?
Either way, the characters are miles apart, and I can't give clear answers that give dramatic effects like that without considering time/space variables,
because muh flowcharts. Wait until she gets back.

First off, let's be honest here. The timeline is screwed up. That whole scene with the letter is ambiguous as to whether it happens while the characters are together, or when it happens. I believe Tracy follows Ninja horse to the stables, and the stables are located near the pyramid's original location. So where are the characters? When Inferius drops Trumpaladin off, he still has to fly all the way back. And Trumpaladin would have slept, inspected the resurrection machine, grabbed the weapon smasher, asked Lenos about the stones, conducted a loyalty test on Fae (who passed), and then flown back on Fae to rejoin the group. That would have taken many hours, but probably not days past when Inferius rejoins.
>just to see how batshit she is for him
Uh... Sure... That's totally the reason I asked. The bottom line is this: when Trumpaladin started a fight against Thez, Tracy unquestioningly followed. When Yak Lee started sexually assaulting Trumpaladin, Tracy started attacking him without being asked (and Inferius and sort-of Tourcil attacked Trump for defending himself. Fuck you). That is gold. That's the sort of devotion you can truly rely on when times are bad. Then things changed. There's blood in the stables when the horses disappear, but Tracy, who was a witness, says they ran off, in clear contradiction to the evidence. Tracy sits out a fight and Trumpaladin goes to ask Lenos about the attackers, and when he returns, all of the valuable cores Lenos mentioned are gone. Though many are present, the sole witness to the fate of the cores is Tracy, who says that pirates - pirates only she saw, and evidently though they were loaded with heavy cores, she couldn't outfight them or outrun them - has stolen the cores, but leaving behind the shells as proof that Tracy had in fact come in contact with the wreckage. That's not just unreliable, that's the kind of unreliable that can blow up on you when times are well.

Oh yeah, and let's add the running away after demon blood, kicking Trumpaladin, stabbing Inferius, refusing to acknowledge Trumpaladin's exhortation to return the treasure to the government of Port Barry (implying she wanted it for herself), her brushing off of the patriotic exhortations in the battle, her cold reaction to Trump when he rescued her, and holy shit this feels so much like the red flags I got from my ex-girlfriend in the last 5 months or so of the relationship before the horrible break up. Basically everything she's done since arriving in Port Barry has been a red flag.
You see, yanderes are dominated by one desire and one desire only. They want to escape the feeling of being inadequate and inferior. The pain of that feeling is all they know. They do not know love, nor have they ever felt it. They do they know Good, and could not recognize it. They do not respect anyone or anything - no person, not themselves nor the target, no country, no cause, no God, nor no law of God or Man. The only thing they desire are those brief moments of reprieve from the crushing feelings of inadequacy. The way they tend to go about this is by singling out a male, and trying with obsessive focus to dominate over and take possession of him. They believe that by possessing the right male, they can be adequate. This is annoying for the male, because in the yandere's struggle for sole possession, she tries to clear out all conceivable competitors, and not just the plausible ones. But it has its plus in that Yandere's are willing to do anything - except for not being irrationally jealous or not expressing their feelings inadequacy around the target - in order to make the target happy, under the assumption it helps their possessive claim.
But sometimes, something called "Yandere Decay" occurs. The Yandere slowly ceases to believe that possessing the male will help their inadequacy, and so they cease to care about the male. Instead, they do anything else to try to ease the pain. This is extremely dangerous, because decayed yanderes are essentially wounded feral animals. They will strike out at anything and anyone, and they are not limited by any sort of law or respect or concern for dignity or morality. They must be avoided.
Tracy has every red flag of Yandere Decay, except that she's still jealous. She's my ex-girlfriend that summer before she left.

If you want me to break down every development flaw, that's exactly the point where I had the idea to start using the Yandere Calculus Theory to maximize dramatic horror aspects. I was trying to make the point that she was fiercely loyal from a 1-1 level, when the two were alone, but there'd be serious repercussions if she felt lonely or betrayed, not on the other partner, but anything in proximity.
Her killing-off the horses was completely in character, lying about it not so much (was trying to imitate another yandere character, but I'm simply not good at the lying trope) and I guess it actually abused her character there to twist her into a spiteful liar, instead of just an unapologetic murderer... As for hiding the golem parts, I made the mistake of likening her to my grandmother, who hides my grandfather's shit when she feels like she's being ignored...
>>11483
>running away after demon blood
Yeah... again, I messed up there.... My original intention was for that scene to be the baptism of fire, where she'd run into the woods alone, slaughter some shit (animals and whatnot), and come back free of bitterness, with a power upgrade and new confidence. I miscalculated Infernius and Thez getting in the way, and I did not expect her to end up in a detention center. Her violent reaction towards the rest of the characters was mostly an attempt by me to salvage that solo scene, but it didn't work.
>stabbing Inferius
It meant exactly what it looked like, but Infernius did literally ask for it.
>refusing to acknowledge Trumpaladin's exhortation to return the treasure to the government of Port Barry (implying she wanted it for herself), her brushing off of the patriotic exhortations in the battle
I guess a player character could get that impression from my shutty writing at midnight, but I don't think I left any impression that Tracy had any other reason to look for treasure other than to impress Trumpaladin. She doesn't have any points in materialism (yes, I had started allocating points), aside from maybe wedding preparations. The burying of the golem parts for a day and a half was, again just out.
As for patriotism, she has none, aside from what she'd draw from her husband. She was a hoodrat in Equestria, and she felt no ties to the land she'd suddenly been thrown into. Any patriotism she would've had would come from recognizing how important something was to her spouse or family member; at that point though, she was feeling isolated and ignored, and everything else only seemed like a load of reasons for why her husband was distracted from their marriage.
>her cold reaction to Trump when he rescued her
This is the part I really fucked up on by not putting emphasis on it. Idk if it was noticeable, but I had several comments that illustrated her brushing-up against your leg and purring like a cat all morning after. It was just 2:00 AM by then, so I just let my flowcharts to the work.
>>11483
Don't start me on Yandere decay: I know all about it. Like I said in >>11277 the Yandere Calculus system is made largely to maximize the effects of decay, based in part on psychology, Greek tragedy, and anime: too original. I made the mistake of trying to apply it to an RPing game, in which I was unable to control the other character to decelerate the decay, and steer it closer to a happy ending.
To be honest, I was getting bored, so I decided to fuck around with her "brain" (flowcharts). I didn't see her making very much romantic progress, so I tried to play around a bit with alignments, different tragic pathways and whatnot; basically, I stopped rooting for the good ending and just cut loose with my Yandere tropes. I introduced the Yandere Calculus system to make it more interesting for myself, and also in a show of laziness, desu... It kept building up her internal strife to a bioling point, and as violent means of stress relief disappeared on after the other (and I got bored of leg-humping), I started rolling a 6-sided die for dozens of alternate paths. Sometime, when it was late at night, I'd just roll the die, forget my original intentions, and neglect to consider what Tracy would actually do when the paths ended with something horrible like "drudgery", "spite", "secrecy" or "gossip": in the the end, my lack of conscious thought didn't drtain from the originality of my character, but allowed her to become something disgustingly original; a spiteful woman; the most dangerous, horrifying, destructive, sinister kind of creature ever to haunt this world.
It was a system that was awful for character development, but also self-rewarding: it allowed me to shrug-off creative responsibility, and just work on creating the edgy, monstrous megalomaniac I wanted to play and forget about the importance of Tracy's character. Her character shifted from chaotic neutral to neutral evil, as I just went with the destructive path of the flowcharts and didn't consider Tracy's inner-will to become a better individual, or the development of a good romantic story.
for her family.
That's why I'm finally burying this book and never applying Yandere Calculus to any system again.
tl;dr I fucked-up, got lazy, and let my abomination of a character-computing system go full terminator because of my nectect to the purpose of keeping Tracy's character Unoriginal.

Well..
Diomedes was, in Greek mythology, the barbaric king of the Thracian tribe of Bistones. He was a fierce and powerful demigod, son of the war god Ares; and as his blood foretold, he was an incredible warlord. His most prized possessions were his four spectacular mares, whose names were were Podargos (swift), Lampon (shining), Xanthos (yellow) and Deinos (terrible); the very mares whome he fed human flesh to make them more fierce in battle. The mares, due to their unnatural treatment, turned into superior but fearsome creatures, starving for the flesh of men. Their madness made them into voracious, man-eating beast, growing large and strong, with razor sharp teeth, and, in some versions, expelling fire when they breathed. The man-eating mares were uncontrollable to all but the hand of the barbaric King, needing to be tethered by chains to a bronze manger. The horses were swift, strong, and powerful, pulling the king's chariot like lightning, mowing down and attacking his enemies with predatory vigor. The barbaric king enjoyed feeding strangers and prisoners to his mares, as entertainment and his favorite mode of execution. They did not like the taste of oats, and could not be quelled without the taste blood once they were riled.
It was one of the twelve great labors of Hercules to steal the mares from Diomedes, alive. After the death of Diomedes (happened serval different ways), Hercules fed the body to the mares to calm them. After the beasts were pacified by the taste of flesh, Hercules took the opportunity to bind their mouths shut, and easily took them back to King Eurystheus, who dedicated the horses to Hera. In some versions, they were allowed to roam freely around Argos, having become permanently calm, but in others, Eurystheus ordered the horses taken to Olympus to be sacrificed to Zeus, but Zeus refused them, and sent wolves, lions, and bears to kill them. Some stories tell of their descendants being used as mounts in the Trojan War.
The steed of Alexander the Great, Bucephalus, was said to be descended from those mares.

>too original
>perfectly recreating an animal that does in fact exist in nature is original
I really don't mean to imply you've done a bad job writing her. Quite the contrary, you've done a remarkable job in creating a deep and noticeable character who feels like a real person, that person being my ex-girlfriend. The only complaint I have is that I often could not tell her motives and what she intended to accomplish by many actions. And of course you're allowed to make the character however you like. I just want to point out that if you wish to model a character off of Greek Tragedy, well, you're modeling her off of a genre that ends in all named characters dying and a nation falling under circumstances that scream "you could have prevented this." And that's basically where the character dynamics of Trumpaladin, Inferius, and Thez, combined with Tracy were taking things. Which I guess is one way to do this.
I interpreted Tracy as having a character ark more or less the same as King Sombra in the fan-made "Fall of an Empire" metal opera. In that work, Sombra has a love affair with another character, the romance is broken off when he is told he lacks a specific power that makes him inelligible to continue as her romantic partner, he contracts evil powers to try to continue the relationship, but finds that he loves the power, starts abusing the power, and is ultimately more willing to give up the relationship than stop abusing the power, resulting in tragedy. So I thought Tracy was going through pretty much the same. She loves Trumpaladin, but he refuses her as his mount because she is "too small" and "cannot fly." (Also, Tracy doesn't understand the difference between mount and waifu status). So she tries to become a desirable mount, and she does so by ingesting evil in a vile to obtain evil powers. As this happens, she discovers that she loves the evil powers themselves, she forgets about her former romantic obsession (to a degree), and focuses now primarily on obtaining greater evil powers. It hasn't yet come to a tragic end, but you can see where it's going

So I thought Tracy was going through pretty much the same. She loves Trumpaladin, but he refuses her as his mount because she is "too small" and "cannot fly." (Also, Tracy doesn't understand the difference between mount and waifu status). So she tries to become a desirable mount, and she does so by ingesting evil in a vile to obtain evil powers. As this happens, she discovers that she loves the evil powers themselves, she forgets about her former romantic obsession (to a degree), and focuses now primarily on obtaining greater evil powers. It hasn't yet come to a tragic end, but you can see where it's going

That's seems to be a pretty well-thought interpretation of it, more or less.Would clarify more, but I'm just too tired to type right now...

>too original
I meant moreso convoluted and difficult. By "too original", I meant 'not how Tracy should be'; Tracy embodying the element of Unoriginality.

>Her killing-off the horses was completely in character
Well, yes, which is why I had Trumpaladin more angry at Thez (who killed at least one horse) than at Tracy, although the anger at Tracy was mostly for having evidently lied about what happened to the horses (Trumpaladin never confirmed she killed the horses anyways)
>hides my grandfather's shit when she feels like she's being ignored
How exactly was Tracy being ignored? Just the night before, she was given precisely the sort of attention she seemed to have wanted all along. She went off into the woods to be alone on her own volition because that is what she wanted. Then that day, Tracy was the first person (besides Fae, who was seperated from Trumpaladin most of the day) Trumpaladin talked to, and he stayed with her and shared popcorn during the battle
>The running away
It was weird because in every previous scene where "Flashy" was present, she'd stay around him and would not leave even if desired. So the fact that she was intent on escaping him meant something was wrong.
>stabbing Inferius
Okay yeah, he had it coming, but it was a part of the larger escape that seemed extremely off. She was fighting, including kicking Trumpaladin
>Trump's speech before going to find the treasure
He asked questions specifically to her, and she did not answer, only "can we go now." Because what he was asking was something like "do you understand the importance of these funds for rebuilding port barry" the fact that she'd be evasive on that question makes it seem like it's because her intent was to take it herself. Also, you typed "make note to swipe treasure for Lenos" in a post, though it wasn't communicated to the characters
>As for patriotism, she has none
Yeah that should be expected. It's more of a "I'm disappointed she wasn't more receptive"
>The rescue
I do think she eventually started acknowledging his presence. But the fact that it wasn't the first thing she did seemed weird
Okay, so here's what is really weird to me: why did the sex have almost no effect on her? Aside from being amazingly embarrassing and getting Tracy pregnant (which was much more humiliating), it was more or less without consequence. Tracy was mocking Fae that night, who was herself unexpectedly stunned and disgusted. But the next night, Tracy was jealous of Fae for being Trump's mount, saying something like "how does his ass feel?" I would have thought she'd be mocking her with something like "You've felt him outside? Good for you. I've felt him inside" or "has he ever ridden you bare back? He has me, in a matter of speaking" or some sort of banter like that. And then after that day it was basically forgotten.
Initially I had intended to kill Tracy when she started kicking as she tried to run away. But Greatest Ally Inferius got in the way (again), so I decided to work on the theory that what she needed to remain obsessive was some sort of hope of reciprocity and relationship with the target. Which I gave her. But it didn't prevent the decay from happening

I was just projecting family drama, desu...
>can we go now.
Probably should've clarified that those were just my thoughts. I was about to pass out, but I didn't want to spend the first two hours of the next session walking.
>the fact that it wasn't the first thing she did seemed weird
Well, I was trying to emulate the mind of a hysterical female, who just came out of a drug overdose, with a mutated body.
>why did the sex have almost no effect on her?
I could've sworn I made sure to indicate much more affection after that.

Yeah.. it was past 1:00 AM, and I'd resorted to die rolls. The paths pointed towards the ideals least in her character: spite, gossip and drudgery. After that, I just used some pre-made syntax to emulate a "mean girls" motif to drive Fae off, but it just looked retarded and failed miserably. tbqh desu, I was trying to attack the cat's confidence in her master by implying that Trumpadin had other mounts, because a Paladin can only have one. She made a week attempt to project her insecurities onto the lion, but the lion didn't even give a fuck, and that pissed her off even more. It didn't work so well, and it felt out of character, and the fact that I was half asleep didn't help.
I try.. Not too hard, but I was experimenting mostly while half-asleep or intoxicated.

This is good; it means you deeply appreciate her character for who she really is, and hate how her shitty writer has been abusing her and not showing the true potential you see in her: two steps away from true waifuism.

Well... I meat to say that I seemed to be the only one who understood the character as written after the change, and before. Like no one else saw yandere decay. I think I'm the only person here, besides perhaps you, who spent 3 and a half years of his life shackled to this sort of person, and so I was the only person who understood.

Manipulative? They literally said "when are we going to fight the father?" "Soon" while I was away and on a plane. That's literally conspiring against me while I am away, with a direct acknowledgement of me as the father of Tracy's child. If they want a fight, they will get a goddamned fight

I went ahead and tried to stake-out that shop at Pit Town; since it was suggested that the shopkeeper was suspicious. She was outside the shop in stealth, near the door/window.
I'll just roll for detection again
