I will endeavor to condense my posts better. I can explain why I do it, but feel itnwill fall on deaf ears, so,... just gonna continue with the flashback I guess ^_~
I still havent worked ALL the details out, but basically its a lure, entrap, execute the security and abscond with the payload (Lacey) type scheme, for ransom in whatever form. And ngl, it would have worked. But that was the day that Brie and Lacey met.
At first, it was him coming to her aid, over the corpse of her (rather incompetent) bodyguard. I mean come on, you should have known what was up,...
After the alley was littered with blood and bodies (and maybe a few traces of her juices cuz GOD does she love fighting fr), then she attacked him. At first it was combat, but it gradually transitioned with an air of deliberate lewdness.
Ill spell it out in detail in a later post, but basically he tried to refuse her, she hit him with 4 co secutive stunning blows, came, and then said "See you around"

You thought I was done? Lol
The thing is, what Brie didnt know enough of body language and behavioral cues to register (he did register, but in his loins) was that that first time they locked eyes, her eyes dilated wildly. If you dont know what that means, look it up.
For him, this also created a surreal effect. Again, he wasnt co sciously aware of the ramifications, but to be an effective "scrub" for a nobody changeling teying to scrape out a meal, and to be looked at like the most delicious and enticing... I did say I digress.
Anyway, it's hard to pinpoint with any specificity what it was about him that drew her so, but she effectively 'decided' with that first glance.
Shes a little on the dommy side, but only to get him to make HER the sub.
Yes, this is the scope of the content I can provide to GM, and I have prrferred artfag commissioners.
Lets go

About the repetitious posts argument,... does it matter? I mean yeah, we can argue "excessive", "undisciplined", etc, but the structure of /vx/ (and the site, but being specific) is to a degree of enormative potential capacity that "wanton posts" (to be discouraged, for sure) are irrelevant and negligable.
>its annoying
Okay, lets unpack that.
Are player SERIOUSLY about to criticize other players for being annoying? After everything?
Okay, Ill work it into my list.
I just wanna tell cool stories with my friends.

Yes.
Last night and this morning, you’ve made 13 posts, although judging by post numbers, you’ve made several more that you’ve since deleted. These posts contain between them 4730 characters, which means a post (limit of 6000 characters) could have been made with 1270 characters to spare. Your 13+ posts could have been condensed into one post.
This number of superfluous posts frankly makes threads much harder to read. There are many occasions where in order to respond to a player, or to remember some detail, I have to back read through recent parts of the thread. Please remember that I am often doing things IRL and can’t reply constantly, at least, in a manner that is satisfactory, so I have to back read. There are five ways to view a thread. I can look from the board view, which shows the most recent 6 posts, I can use last 50 posts, last 100 posts, and last 200. I can try to view the whole thread, but this is usually overly taxing on my phone or computer. When there are so many frankly slop posts, they clutter the thread, and make it much harder to find what I need to find. Often, I have to expand the field of view to see the posts I need to see. And this really is a frequent occurrence. I’d love to see the most recent relevant replies, but I can’t do that when the entire last six are nothing. I suspect other players have the same or similar problems.
Second, this kills threads. I like to make new threads on odd millennial posts. This is an occupied game tradition going back more than half a decade at this point. And it isn’t just an arbitrary number. Post limits exist for a reason. When a thread has too many posts, it will have difficulty loading on many devices. Threads have life expectancies. And I often like to keep the same thread around for a while, especially when I like the OP image. And I fucking hate missing the millennial post for a new thread in a way I cannot express. Mounds of meaningless wasted posts just bury through this post count and kill threads.
And further, I suspect that you probably want what you post to be read, instead of people just seeing the ID and skipping down. People would be more interested in what you have to say if you didn’t type out and immediately post every single thought that came to mind, but if you communicated only what you really wished to communicate to others, and maybe did so in fewer posts.
It reminds me of Elway doing an audit of his Fallout Equestria review, and finding that about 40% of all of the character volume was Nigel’s rants. It reduces the quality of the experience for everyone.

Yes. Absolutely. When something is annoying us, it’s hard to focus on good things. Talking about the behaviors annoy you is the first, critical step towards stopping that annoyance, and improving the quality of the experience for everyone. A game like this is not any one person’s story. It is everyone’s. And when everyone else’s stories are buried beneath small posts, it reduces the quality of the experience.

Im not trying to be cheeky, but lately my activity across the sote has been widespread.
And lets say do limit myself, are you suggesting I wont instead get flak for writing a multi-page post than I will for a bunch of small ones? Im fine with engaging in discipline, but theres a variety of disciplines that are being neglected. Let's also not forget that I have been asking, appealing, and in some cases begging for guidance, assistance, something. And yes, you have figured out that the Sphynx approach is the most insular when dealing with me.
Are you saying I shouldn't post backstory to the OOC thread?
I'm not trying to capitalize on or get you to devote any more time to the thread than you are comfortable with.

Okay. If it isn't going to be a problem, I will condense my particularly late-night posting as much as Im able. I know I'm not unique in being tickled to talk about my character, and the inability to play for... however long kills me. I like telling stories to people assuming they're receptive to then, and if you get me going I can be so long winded that Elway's mightiest Elway-post would be like "No, stop, please, it hurts, how do I even feel pain?". And yes, I do take satifaction in lengthy diatribes and opinion posts even (usually) when no one replies. I know it's well stated,...
Until I come back and think of a better way to say it, or something I didnt include, or any of a dozen ways I could refine it.
And,... Ive lost ALOT of 'good' effort posts in my day. Thats why I have such atrocious spelling, its cuz as soon as Ive made my point I want it sent so that any number of mishaps can be avoided, neglecting to look back over it cuz one absent slip of the thumb,....
Im not making excuses, and Im not saying I won't work on it. Im just saying Im trying to keep myself occupied while waiting for the next session, or incidental involvement, or what have you.

Theres a couple things here I wanna touch on
>when something is annoying us, it is hard to focus on anything
Im acutely aware, if you recall the months pf Dbaggery I had to.gp through to get one in particular to quit.
Not trying to go back over that, just suggesting that one olayer criticizing me for lots of posts kinda doesnt hit quite the same. I'm not planning to oppose your desires/directives, but still pointing out when the pot called me black.
I am acutely aware of how posts get buries, because mine do. Again, referencing the camera which I had to wait over a month on, and sti havent gotten a simple yes or no as to whether or not Brie can have taken photos of the stilts monster and the starfish when I fell aslep while you were controlling.
Thats it, a simple yes or no.
What I am getting at is that - and I'm not being insistent with this, but am being assertive - I will be happy to fervently apply all the things over time. But, heres that barter again, I need an agreement with (you) that I'm not gonna get overlooked, ignored, or otherwise neglected as a player. I dont think anyone here appreciates their time being wasted or not valued.

Elsewhere, distant, and entirely unrelated to any meta, Lacey is pouring over documents, ledgers, notebooks, and a few maps. Her plans were just at the verge of fruition; everything was set in place with all associable fish barrels aligned.
All she needed now was that one spark, a trigger, after which. The only problem is, but couldnt be by her hoof, or anyone immediatrly involved.
Meta P.S. There are a number of times I delete posts specifically to combine and add to them

Main thread:
- No double-posting, except in cases where someone posts simultanously, and I feel necessary to add, like the follow-up sentence to Silver's attempt to.get Posey to open up
- Deletions and edits only if I know I can be quick and people dont seem to be posting
OOC
- posts to be restricted to small paragraphs at minimum, and separated ideally by 30 to 60 minutes, with potential revisions especially during late night, but ending in the morning with several effort posts
Yes, my 13 posts of 5000 works could fit in one post, but theyre spread out, and the inspiration to convey an idea that Im gonna have later doesnt occurr to me when Im posting whatever thing I feel justified in posting 'now'. Guaranteed I'm gonna think of better/more ways to phrase this post before 20 minutes have passed. But yes, sometimes I start an idea at 3am and dont finish it until 10am. But if I don't mention it, I will lose the inspiration/urgency.
If any additions are requested of this list, please advise.

>Six consecutive posts
First off, apologies for not being around. Life comes at you fast.
I am in an awkward position. I made what is basically a Necromancer hunter without knowing the party contained a necromancer. I blame no one but myself for not actually looking at the party's composition.
However, Dust's purpose in Equestria is to find out more about supposed rumors of increased necromatic activity, with the idea being it's just Dread League coming out of seclusion/the zeebs just now hearing about this. Side goal is kill any undead and necromancers he comes across. I'm sure you can see where this becomes exceedingly awkward. I don't want to fight Posey, but I also don't want to cheapen Dust's motives or character by suddenly making him okay with this necromancer for reasons. However, this makes the game a little awkward for me currently since I'm the newcomer I don't want to ruin Posey's character. But also everyone's talking about necromancy and even if Dust didn't hear this, he'll recognize what necromancy is. I am unsure how to pursue my character properly in light of this, because he is not going to like this.
I attempted to cut a deal in >>183669 → because of the dreads where Dust acknowledged Posey was a necromancer, but realized that if she actually had connections to this group he's been sent to investigate, she's much more valuable alive than dead (undead than dead?). However, I was shot down because she can't actually raise the dead. This is actually WORSE cause now she's lied about being a necromancer as well as being one. Now Dust is gonna be doubly ticked off at this. So unfortunately, we have to find a way to resolve this (preferably in character) but otherwise Dust is going to start flipping his shit cause undead being summoned.
Suggestions? Thoughts? Preferably ones that don't involve killing Dust and making me go with my backup character cause I don't think GM would like me for it.

I’ll repeat what I said to silver when he was upset that Brie didn’t want to disassemble the torpedo: maybe talk about it in character?

If the party hasn't officially split yet, Brie would quickly and efficiently disable/disarm/pin Dust for attacking another party member. He doesnt stand for that, If you did want to attack.
Not saying I encourage it, nor that GM woukd endorse, but I doubt he would succeed at actually killing her, maybe just causing her pain.
But MY suggestion is:
Okay, Dust figured out she has some ties to necromancy. Might he not want to follow along, perhaps playing possum? She said the scroll came from a master,
.. perhaps she is a drone of a greater necromancer?

Maybe we can still work things out here. Posey genuinely can't raise the dead on her own, the only reason this is even an option is because of the scroll she has. And if Dust is worried about the scroll, this is its last use.
>>187675
Also this, if she got the scroll from her master, then who is her master?

Oh please Ziggah, don’t be so simple
Why must resolving conflict be so violent?
Really, you needs must spill no more blood than popping a pimple
I don’t mean to say that you must be silent
And most certainly your character doesn’t need to take a one hour nap
For the true warrior, there is but one field of battle
You must defeat Posey through rhyme and rap
And not just blindly eat grass, like cattle

My zigga in celestia, I was saying I DON'T want to attack her. The problem is Dust isn't the subtle type. The idea of the deal he tried to strike is "I will not kill you, but I want information from you as you can give it" with the idea that he'd have to follow her around, also giving him incentive to continue adventuring with the party. Because he has to watch this crazy ass ball of insanity to make sure she doesn't kill anyone.
>>187677
Dust doesn't know about the scroll yet. Dust doesn't know any of this yet. Dust is off to the side praying and such while the party argues about weight limits. My point is the second he walks back over he's gonna have an aneurysm and I need to start damage control.
Is the rhyming really that hard to understand?

I know, I get that, Im just saying if it happened it wouldnt be as bad as you think. But, heres the scenarios I can suggest from what I know of Dust:
1. Knowing she's a subprdinate necromancer, he could like I said, wait until later to.press the issue. At worst case, he would want her to expend her abilities so more vulnerable when time to confront.
2. He knows she isnt hostile and might be curious as to why she is invved in an otherwise benevolent venture
3. The traveler is a very big fish to first fry

Any time yiu have cross-purpose party members, that doesnt mean you can't set aside differences and work together. Granted, it can only be a temporary partnership when all is said and done, but those are some of the best stories; otherwise adversaries and opponents working together and developing a mutual respect even if tomorrow they are destined to be at odds once more

That might not be a bad idea. Silver could come over realizing that Dust may be less than happy about the undead aspects of the plan. He might want to bring Kira though. She may be helpful.
This grass sucks though, holy shit. Need better grass.

I understand that Dust has autism,
But I don’t think that the character is bent on a party schism
Dust has risen to a position of power in his tribe
But I don’t think they promote like Klingons or through bribe
Instead, conflicts over power and mares (Jennies?)
Are probably resolved through battle of wits and whinnies
He doesn’t need to got axe crazy on Posey
Just make damn sure she can’t get cozy
And if there’s a question on who must stay and who must leave
It’s to be decided by who best, a rhyme can weave

Im just saying, Brie can offer alot of good reasons to maintain a ceasefire even without assurances from Rosey to not get spoopy with skeletons. Philosophical reason, emmint reasons, comparative reasons,... if the discussion went down before splitting I might be able to contribute to it jn real time, but appreciate if its better done after/later. To reemphasize, it would make more sense for a confrontation after the skeleton was raised

>I made what is basically a Necromancer hunter without knowing the party contained a necromancer. I blame no one but myself for not actually looking at the party's composition.
That's actually more my fault than yours. An anti-necro Cleric is a normal character; and evil Necromancer spy is less-normal. I came into the game saying I was willing to accept the consequences of whatever friction the nature of my character caused, but I didn't actually put very much legwork into doing so.
>dreads where Dust acknowledged Posey was a necromancer, but realized that if she actually had connections to this group he's been sent to investigate, she's much more valuable alive than dead (undead than dead?). However, I was shot down because she can't actually raise the dead. This is actually WORSE cause now she's lied about being a necromancer as well as being one. Now Dust is gonna be doubly ticked off at this. So unfortunately, we have to find a way to resolve this (preferably in character) but otherwise Dust is going to start flipping his shit cause undead being summoned.
Yeah, sorry about that. I should have been more considerate to your characters motivations. I was tired at the time and didn't want to deal with it. Let's work together for a solution that serves both of us.
>Suggestions? Thoughts? Preferably ones that don't involve killing Dust and making me go with my backup character cause I don't think GM would like me for it.
Well, for starters, once Posey gets to lvl 6, which I believe she will be at the end of this adventure, her apprenticeship will be over and she will be set free, no longer having to serve her master. When this happens, she will potentially be open to taking you up on her deal.
Posey is a slave to the Dread League: she does not actually have any loyalty towards them. She could potentially be willing to strike a deal to share secrets to usurp them in the long run.

Unironically glad you said this. I wanted to suggest that Dust might know that servitude proxies/apprentices/drones have a restricted freewill, which might temper his response to the siuation, especially with her otherwise well-expressed instances of care and benevolence

>The idea of the deal he tried to strike is "I will not kill you, but I want information from you as you can give it" with the idea that he'd have to follow her around, also giving him incentive to continue adventuring with the party. Because he has to watch this crazy ass ball of insanity to make sure she doesn't kill anyone.
I would normally have to wait until I leveled up to strike that deal, but if GM is willing to waive that code of conduct I gave myself as a voluntary nerf.
Posey is away from the Dread League, which means they can't use ritual of transference to steal her XP and prevent her from leveling up to keep her enslaved forever: she anticipates that she will level up at the end of this adventure, and finally break free of the control of her masters, after which she could do anything she wants.

Nah it's fair. I came to the game after you. Besides, Dust wasn't my only character idea and I probably would have gone with one of my other ideas had I known.

I have a thought. How about if we do have a level up at the end of the mission, Dust can be absolutely livid about the whole necromancer thing, Posey can explain her position to him on the way back, and they can strike a deal that involves some level of Dust becoming her autism-handler and adventures with her to gain favor and more info that he can report back?

Comment. For one, I know how players can be when padding scores, and thats without being specific to this game, just saying.
Which is why when I did my skills I was very detailed, and made frequent messages to GM with updates and breakdowns.
I can still break down each of his skills, including his +12 device check.
But you didnt ask for a breakdown, you implied doubt and let that sit in the air. Fuck off, there is no doubt, and if there is, lets have it out now.
Go on, ask me. My sheet is in the old nuts discord under bats, 1st pin. Ill wait.

Dude, if you're going to be rode OOC, at least keep it in the designated thread.
Everyone is fucking walking on eggshells because posters act bipolar/narcissistic and take everything personally. I know some of you have emotional sensitivity issues, but you have to try because the rest of us are just here to have fun and dealing with ooc drama is not fun.

>Im "special needs", meaning if I am unable to engage you when you're available I will seek to when you're not, which is part of lends toward me spamming in threads.
You're a grown ass man. You are a sapient humanoid, not an animal. Learn to behave yourself. We are not the short bus staff. We are not your teachers. We are not your therapist. It is not our responsibility to babysit you or accommodate your retarded antics, especially not at the expense of the group's enjoyment or the GM's peace of mind. Saying "im special needs" (as if we didn't already know) sounds incredibly inconsiderate of the effect that you have, like we're just supposed to tolerate it because you're touched in the head.
This game is full of "special needs" autists, but that doesn't excuse being an asshole.
PBP games are inherently slow. You will get no blood from the stone by spamming and trying to engage people when they are not available. It's a fool's errand.
>I may never get over flipping out like a child when I'm upset
Then maybe you should reconsider your path going forward before you further humiliate yourself in front of everyone by flipping out over nonsense. Learn to control yourself, or don't post at all.
>So perhaps as a favor that I can return by having extra degrees of confidence that enable me not sperging in any of the threads
Maybe try not sperging at all.
Think before you post. Compress your posts. Read your posts aloud if you must. Ask yourself if it is appropriate to post what you post before posting it. Ask yourself if it's one of the posts you would immediately regret and delete before posting it.

I went as long as I can stomach without responding to this, so here goes; maximum effort
>OOC rudeness
I will affect to limit my rudeness, but I also council that if rudeness is an objectionable offense then a better standard needs to be levied, as rudeness prevails without my contributions.
>You're a grown-ass man
It would be more accurate to describe me as a perpetual child in the body of a grown-ass man. Again, none of this is intended to excuse, simply to explain. You know how people are all on about puberty blockers causing irrevocable damage? A similar dynamic occurs when you subject a child to horrible shit in and around age 4, a very critical time for social development. So yes, I am grown-ass, but sorry but I AM a child, to some degree.
>that doesn't excuse being an asshole
Begging your pardon, but your posture suggests that there are circumstances where being an asshole is justified. I don't consider instances of righteous and agreeable indignance as being "an asshole", I would describe an asshole as someone being deliberately adversarial.
>maybe you should reconsider
I do, every time there's an instance. I do a very thorough inventory of where I fucked up, what I can attempt to do in the future, as well as a thorough explanation to any affected/injured parties; the ones who speak to me that is.
>think/compress/read aloud
I do already, and the situation will drastically improve now that I have a PC again. Again, none of this is intended to excuse, only to explain.

I don't care how righteous you consider your 1:00 AM Wednesday morning "Go fuck yourself" posts to be. When I see them, and especially, when I know that this is what I have to look forward to every time you post, it makes me not want to play. And I don't. There is a reason I didn't continue anything between then and Saturday.
Stop it.

Could you not reinforce GM Pone's lack of desire to look at this every day?
Let's talk walking red-flags.
First, you bave Bre Achtungsechsig. He's literally designed to be a problem. Ill mannered, irreverent, somehow unkilled by the dice though I've tempted them on several occasions, he gives 0 fucks and has no reservations telling you. Not an actual threat, unkless you do something stupid like try to force a charm spell on him the moment you meet him, then you're on "the list".
Adeline Adolphine De Fatima Korragar Preston al Thez. Her Fucking HAIR is her red flag. Even less fucks than Brie, more guns and explosives, and about to shoot you probably. We won't get into her, she's just my met excuse to get these characters out of this world if things go south.
But then there's the pony of the goddamn apocalypse. You know, the one who is flippantly dismissive of anything other characters or even GM are doing, acts like they should be catered to because they are there and have a precious fucking schedule that should be catered to.
Yes, Brie is sucking the fun out.

You remember when you were a huffy fluffy wufflekins because Posey kept posting pictures of cute bat ponies or whatever that was? Or that time you got extremely mad because Posey did the charm spell on your character? The rest of us didn't entirely understand why you were so upset, but that was besides the point. The point was that it upset you, and for the sake of harmony, we should drop it. Well, I feel the same way about you bitching at me both on board and in discord. To you, sure, it's just fun or justified or just normal or whatever. To me it's demoralizing as all fuck when you do it literally every time I try to play the game.
I don't message you with curses or angry messages. I try to be nice to you because I know that kindness is what you need. Well I need a little too. Or at least, just stop with angry messages multiple times per week.
>>188045
None of the problems are in character. I just don't want angry posts and angry messages directed at me. Well I'd really like it if you didn't feud with Posey in the thread, but I'll handle one thing at a time.
Posey and Cavaliere, who have also contributed towards demoralizing me, have already posted that they recognize the problem and will make changes. See >>188042 → and >>188025 →
>>188030 →

You just... You don't get it, and I am genuinely baffled from your response. >>188022 → is a cry to please, stop the negativity because it's seriously making me want to quit. The proper response to it is to be nice and emotionally supportive. Silver's player gets it. Sven gets it. Cavaliere gets it. Even Posey gets it (even if his first response was like yours). But you... Your response is to persist on whatever niggling little issues you're on about? Just... what? For the love of God read the room. See >>188044 >>188027 →. They see how bizarre your response is. This behavior is baffling, unless you want me to quit?
>>188030 →
If you think there's some kind issue that needs to be addressed, for the love of God, common sense says to deal with it later. This is a bad time. And I'm pretty sure the claim is wrong, but I'm not dealing with that now.

I don't remember a single specific bit of feedback on an in game situation since the start of the quest about something that happened in the quest, positive or negative. You will bitch out of character every time I reply or don't reply about how I am on line when I shouldn't be or should be on line when I'm not, or about how I did reply to a skill check or did not respond to a skill check, but I can't remember you saying very much at all about what is happening in the quest. I don't know if that's because you genuinely aren't interested or engaged or have anything to say, or if it's because when you do talk about it, it's drowned out by you yelling at me every. single. time. we play, whether you play or don't, whether i respond to your posts or not. And that's my point. The point is that there are too many angry posts directed at me and it's a very serious issue.
Within the past 7 days you told me to go fuck myself on the board, you messaged me angrily about not pinging you because I made a reply, and you messaged me telling me to "stop sucking Posey's cock." In 7 days. With one day of play.
I am asking you - no, begging you. Pleading with you - to stop messaging or posting on the board about how angry you are at me for every single tiny thing I do or do not do. It's demoralizing. It makes me want to quit.
I made a post for Brie a week ago. >>187833 →. In it, I detailed that Brie's skill check succeeded. A couple posts before that, I detailed specifics about the kind of explosive and its properties. The only response I've gotten has been a post telling me to go fuck myself. Reply to that post with something that isn't just being angry at me and I'll reply to that. In the meantime, you're showing that you have no intent to acknowledge my effort posts.
[Read more] You remember when you were a huffy fluffy wufflekins because Posey kept posting pictures of cute bat ponies or whatever that was? Or that time you got extremely mad because Posey did the charm spell on your character? The rest of us didn't entirely understand why you were so upset, but that was besides the point. The point was that it upset you, and for the sake of harmony, we should drop it. Well, I feel the same way about you bitching at me both on board and in discord. To you, sure, it's just fun or justified or just normal or whatever. To me it's demoralizing as all fuck when you do it literally every time I try to play the game.
I don't message you with curses or angry messages. I try to be nice to you because I know that kindness is what you need. Well I need a little too. Or at least, just stop with angry messages multiple times per week.

None of the problems are in character. I just don't want angry posts and angry messages directed at me. Well I'd really like it if you didn't feud with Posey in the thread, but I'll handle one thing at a time.
Posey and Cavaliere, who have also contributed towards demoralizing me, have already posted that they recognize the problem and will make changes. See >>188042 → and >>188025 →

You just... You don't get it, and I am genuinely baffled from your response. >>188022 → is a cry to please, stop the negativity because it's seriously making me want to quit. The proper response to it is to be nice and emotionally supportive. Silver's player gets it. Sven gets it. Cavaliere gets it. Even Posey gets it (even if his first response was like yours). But you... Your response is to persist on whatever niggling little issues you're on about? Just... what? For the love of God read the room. See >>188044 >>188027 →. They see how bizarre your response is. This behavior is baffling, unless you want me to quit?
>>188030 →
If you think there's some kind issue that needs to be addressed, for the love of God, common sense says to deal with it later. This is a bad time. And I'm pretty sure the claim is wrong, but I'm not dealing with that now.

I can give you all the specifics, including the lead-up and all the surrounding circumstances, but you're right that it doesnt matter anymore
But can it not be about prompting (you)/GM about "What your character wants to do next"? Because that creates a culture of incentivized irresponsibility; one which I willlfully played at (and won't).
Shut the FUCK up unless GM prompts you. Its for him, its for (you), and its for the other players.
What? We were presuming to speak for GM in this thread weren't we?

This.
GM is showing emotional vulnerability and trying to work things out so we can all continue the game in good spirits. Would it kill you to be more polite and considerate when GM does that?
>None of the problems are in character.
>You will bitch out of character every time
Also this.
He won't even keep it in the ooc thread, ffs.
>unless you want me to quit?
You could also just throw him out if he's really getting to you. No reason you should quit instead of him.
Not pushing for it, just saying...

Changing the topic...
What do other players want to spend their reward money on?
For me, it depends on what level we are at when we end the adventure, but I'm considering some +1 Grotesque Fearsome barding. Maybe some necromancy scrolls if I don't level up enough to cast those spells myself. A Night caller, a Ring Of Desecration or a Rod Of Undead Mastery could be nifty. I also want to set aside some gold for a Founding Legacy Ritual, to further enhance the Tiara after I analyze it for its powers.
Oh, land is an option. I intend to buy up Curwhinny's farm, if I can convince Mr. Glass that the "endemic curse" is a bigger liability than the land is worth. Not sure how much that would cost, but once I have a secure underground facility I could do some fun things, like create monsters and store them underground.

Kira doesn't really have any plans for the money, she's a new arrival from a society that used a barter system and she still doesn't fully understand how much Bits are actually worth; instead of arriving to Baltimare with currency already in her bags, she arrived with a collection of hoof-made jewelry of gold and jade, foreign coins, and other valuables given to her to trade for local currency, AKA Bits. She'll probably just hold onto it until she finds something to spend it on as right now it's the reputation from completing the quest that's more important to her.
Silver, meanwhile, has a number of things to spend it on. The house needs an expansion so he has enough bedrooms for all of the NPCs he's collected, he needs to fund the expedition he's gonna go on with Pear Faucet to look for the Tree of Life, if things go well with this quest and he ends up with the Kostroma and the commie ponies he needs to ensure all of them are taken care of, and finally if there's enough left over he wants to buy a workshop to turn into a smithy, both for passive income to support his household and also so all the characters can get some powerful hoof-made gear in addition to the loot we get on our adventures.

Yes, I get it. You want Posey to talk to you. You hope that by acting up, you can put pressure on him to do it. I sort of understand it
But it isn't going to work. If anything, you're just pushing him away by acting belligerant constantly. He'd be more likely to like you if you acted normal.
And more importantly - this isn't the place for your personal drama. Your belligerence is hurting everyone, including you. Keep the drama between you two somewhere else.

Are you sure you want to invite this discussion now? I think it would be better suited to all after a few days but
^Fuckitall, lets get messy
>Posey to talk to me
No, I want to at least know where I went wrong with him so I can at least avoid doing so in the future. Frens are very few for people 'like me' and I especially hate when I still love the ones who hate me. Hate me all you want, ;m used to it.
>Not the place for my personal drama
no it isn't. So leave me alone unless you wanna conribute to whoever the fuck it is, cuz I aready defaulted Brie to GM and am OUT

I've mentioned the idea before, but I still wonder what everyone thinks of it: mithril and adamantium - especially with regards to D&D - are the fantasy terms for titanium and tungsten, respectively.
>>188081
I always saw mythril as titanium, and adamantine as uranium, but idk
Tungsten, cobalt, and a bunch of other finer metals seem to land more in the masterwork material. But Adamanitite is supposed to be second to none for hardness. Idk where that compares to diamond, but as metals go Id say thats uranium

Apparently, raw tungsten is brittle and hard to work with, but when purified it rates at a 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale which is stronger than steel, while being malleable enough to be easy to work. Google's AI overview thing says it can rate anywhere from 7.5-9 on the scale, but I don't know if it's lying. Diamond is 10 on the scale, but apparently it's possible to get materials that are even higher than 10 through very specific circumstances, like from meteor impacts.

Adamantine is not heavier than steel. It weighs the same as steel, but is as hard as diamond.
Also, I resent comparing mythic fictional metals to mundane real metals.
