>>185396>really enjoying all the $20 wordsReally? Are you enjoying the .20c excuses? Are you enjoying where some players bombard GM with shite and then fuck off when theyve had their fun? Cuz thats what just happened. One player got all the attention, pissed off GM and fucked off leaving everyone with their thumb up their asses.

While I have y'all's undivided attention, anyone care to take a guess what the operating issue here is? Anyone? You? No?
Addiction.
The game - especially for GM - is EXTREMELY dopamine-generating. Its Dope addiction.
>>185370>New rule, Sven gets the floorSorry, what's happening? ^^
>>185423You're fine, just working out some kinks.
Btw, to answer your earlier question about how mares are desirable (adorable, sexy, ???) the answer lies in the attributes of the 3 fates

While you're here, care to comment on last night?
>>185426No, not really. Besides the comment about my exceptional faggotry. Duh, have you seen stallions? Especially that Thunderlane fella.
>>185427>not reallyOh okay, we can wait.
But we're
gonna
We were playing last night? I said I couldn't stay up late. I thought I gave permission to RP without me. I'm sick, sicker than usual.
>>185430Sadly, no. I gave an explanation last night after you went to bed, and since then it's just been the usual.
>>185422This game is my drug.
>>185426Lacey/Lucky Roll isn't a milf except for her proportions. She is more of the first fate, but I think you are onto something.
Inviting Vul to this game would be interesting.
>>185430I hope you feel better.
>>185432I would put Lacey/Lucky as pure sex appeal,... but the idea is the daughter, the woman, the mother
So then, to start things off, let me describe what it APPEARED happened last night. I'll be assessing my perspective and what I intuit to be GM's.
Friday, we didnt play. Why? By his admission, because Posey got distracted until another player had to leave.
Saturday is entirely on me with one exception: when the group cant play, its kinda fucked up to play with your side characters, cuz that only delays when we can play. I fell asleep waiting for initiative, and better believe Id have gotten a shot of adrenaline if it had happened.
In any case, in the aftermath of combat GM prompts me to do a search and I get a nat 20.
Gm says "Ill go over this tomorrow".
Now, I wont say I didnt post plenty; it would be inconsistent of me to NOT at this point. But in the early afternoon when all players declarrd availablility except for Posey, it was determined that since Posey couldnt play later that they could rp and do stuff during the afternoon. And so he and Silver got catered to for hours, virtually without interruption, while everyone else waited for GM to finish with you and then continue.
After all. it was fine playing without me, right? Right!
But then, at the end, the ONE time GM says "no" specific to the camera and potential loot, Posey decides to cop an ungreatful and contemptible posture about not getting enough, what GM has struggled to present is whatever and disposable, and basically sour GM's experience sp that no one got to play.
Now, from MY perspective, its ALMOST like Posey was okay with me not playing, but wouldnt suffer NOT playing.
Meanwhile, GM who has dealt with the most incredible group of autistic assholes ever, bending over backwards and inside and out to try and be both reasonable but also firm. As I said, DnD is a hell of a drug. Theres so much neuro chemistey going on, its incomparable really. But its an intensive labor. To do that WHILE tard wrangling for the last month (that Ive been party to) while juggling real life and everything and then have the player youre trying expressly to please for hours basically spit in your face,... yeah. I think he held it together better than I would.
[Read more]
In conclusion:
Was it malice? Honestly, probably not. I want to think so sure, but no its probable that it was just blatant disregard and a lack of consideration for GM, and the other players. After all, if it was important for GM to at LEAST feel validated, then one might think he would be if so minimally as to not shit in his cereal after he has just presented you with bowl after bowl after bowl.
P.S. Why isnt Stix playing?
Now, Im omitting a whole lot of past data that paints a MUCH less appetizing picture, and which removes any question of a pattern,... but we dont need to go there do we?
I was being honest about not being able to doxx, but dont forget how long Ive been paying attention, and how many behaviors a ive seen some of you display. Its still archived in all these threads. ^,_,~
>>185436>patternsThe only pattern I've noticed is you killing two outta two of my campaigns with this same whining about other players, but hey what do I know.
>>185425>What does Vir look like by the way?One day I might be able to draw her for you but as of right now I can only describe her. I might do that later. In short
Didn't get short anyway. ^^ she's a bigger than average mare with concentrated muscles on her body. Big trunk. *blush* White fur and wine-gummy (at least I think it was) mane and tail which had golden metal bars used as hairbands for many small bums. Wears tan cloak with two depictions of Celestia's cutie mark, one on the hood and one on the back.
>>185438What a cutiepie, very nice Anon
>>185434>>185435>>185436>>185437Pointing fingers and causing drama is the LAST thing anypony needs, especially the GM Pone.
Unfortunately he is the only one who should be digging into all of this, but it slows the game down more than anything (much more than sudden naps and playing with side characters!)
>Meanwhile, GM who has dealt with the most incredible group of autistic assholes ever, bending over backwards and inside and out to try and be both reasonable but also firm.Frankly, I don't know how he does it.
>>185438Very cute! Is her cutie mark a human nun on fire?
If you want to visualize her easily you can look up GeneralZhoi's pony creator. It was used to make references for Amber Sunset and Dark Star.

>>185439>2Eberron and,....
Or are you talking Kaverns and Kobolds and Red... what was it....
Hard to pin you with 3 posts, but I'll speak to any/all.
Oh, wait, we're not talking about history.
>>185442Oh, right, the epic campaign. Okay. How did I ruin it?
>>185437
>>185443Lets see,... the green haired gunslinger (name escapes) and Sonata Deline (So Not Adeline), a preliminary monk build with Addy's developing personality (still 'new') and Arizona's visuals.
I liked the Eberron campaign, and I observed an inherent desire to extend a,... not fatherly or brotherly,... but idk uncle-y (not the creepy uncle) way to the alchemist girl. I was sad when B3w8 decided to fuck the party fighting a brass dragon cuz there might have been loot. Huh, sounds familiar.
>>185443The same you're doing now. Insisting that a player was a miserable pile of it and they were why I didn't want to continue the campaign. No, I had legitimate scheduling issues at the time, but you wanted to assume malice and assume Ash's player had made me want to not run. I ended the game cause I got sick of this story and game I wanted to experience with my friends turning into a dramafest, cause that seems to be all DnD ever ends up being when I play.
Good night sir
>>185444>I was sad when B3w8 decided to fuck the party fighting a brass dragon cuz there might have been loot. That's not what happened and you and I both know it. That player made a reasonable decision based on my descriptions and you quit the game on the spot over it.
>>185446Oh, thats very much what happened. The player who spent all the game bitching about challenges and wanting to build make and do all the things, when we were facing the boss said "nah,... maybe theres loot down this hallway".
>>185445I didnt say they were the reason you didnt want to continue, I said thats when they ruined it for me as a player, with 0 fucks to give cuz why should he? Its not like roleplaying is a shared story or anything.
Your grudges are old enough to be in kindergarten. Please leave them behind you and try to take MLP's friendship lessons to heart. Give each other the benefit of the doubt instead of accusing each other of ruining the game.
Do I react u reasonably to adverse stimuli? Yes, Ive been doing it for years and Im finally (ish) getting a handle on it. Has he been ruining it for others for years?
>>185448I want to, but my whole weekend LOOKS to have been deliberately sabotaged and I may not be the only one who feels that way
>>185450If you really think it was deliberately sabotaged, you should privately tell GM Pone about it and never publicly accuse other players. This goes for meatworld games and online games. I personally don't think it was sabotaged; instead it's autistic miscommunications and longstanding grudges causing actual damage.
>>185451>autistic miscommunicationsThat's what I've been saying! Thank you!
You guys really only give the benefit of the doubt to one person in this thing, despite years' worth of counter examples. It is pretty frustrating.
>>185451>if you really think sabotageDo (you) think that wasnt the first thing I said?
>longstanding grudges... come from long-unanswered abuses.
>>185453Who are you and are you a player in the thread? Your message is very cryptic.
>>185456I thought you all preferred anonymity here. Regardless, I wasn't cryptic. I am very clear. You are only showing the player Posey benefit of the doubt despite years' worth of examples that this is an actual problem. This isn't the first time this has happened, and you are pretending it is.
>>185458The main problem is a failure of communication. We need to learn as a group to give
everyone the benefit of the doubt and not jump to the immediate worst conclusion, or this will keep happening over and over again.
>>185447I see you've made up your mind on what happened.
I will be ceding from this thread for the present future. I came to play a game, not participate in OOC arguments. If anyone specifically needs me for something serious, please let the GM pony know. Otherwise, see you in game.
>>185461In an ideal world I would not exist. But this is not an ideal world
>>185462Inpresented what it appears
>>185461I do not care about this feigned neutrality you have going on. There is no giving everyone the benefit when there is clearly someone you are saying is innocent and one person that is going too far. Just directly say it. You think Posey is doing things fine and Brie is not. This is retarded but at least state it.
>>185466>feigned neutralityThere's nothing feigned about it, it's a fact. We are all autistic here to some degree, we need to remember that and realize that sometimes how something appears isn't how it actually is in reality. I'm not even neutral in the matter, I made an entire post explaining to Posey's player what the issue is and how they made GM pone upset.
>>185464>In an ideal world I would not existMood...
>>185458>despite years' worth of examples that this is an actual problem1) This is a game and bringing in outside drama is undesirable. Speaking from my own opinion, I don't think players should be barred or lambasted for outside behavior problems as long as they genuinely try to keep them under control here. Haven't we extended this courtesy to Brie's player too?
2) I for one don't know about said examples despite being an oldfag from 2017, and I don't think you should expect others to know either. I looked up Sonata Deline and Adeline and they're characters from Ancap's campaign and Mixed Nuts, neither of which I read through. You keep bringing up tidbits of the deepest lore from those games but I don't know anything about them and I don't think GM Pone does either.
3) These games ended years ago back when Occupied Equestria was still young. I am a very different person from what I was back then and it's fair to give someone a chance to demonstrate character growth. Holding onto grudges is the opposite of that.
>>185461Very much this.
>>185462This, and I'm sorry you were scared away, new ID.
>>185464I really can't tell if these are lurkers popping in or someone using a VPN.
>>185466No, that is not the implication. GM Pone has made it clear that he doesn't want drama in his thread and if you have any concerns you should reach out to him privately. Is Posey's player doing things perfectly fine? I don't want to make that claim. Is Brie's player causing trouble
now by dredging up drama? Yes, and I want it to stop.
It's not about sides. It's about keeping a healthy atmosphere around this game so new and existing players aren't scared away by all the infighting. If they're scared away we don't have a game anymore. Simple as.
[Read more]
>>185468It is feigned because you are pretending things are equal in a situation where it isn't. Posey has repeatedly done these exact things that piss people off and here you are saying that it is a failure to communicate. No. It is direct action that is causing this. You saying that it is actually everyone's fault is not correct. Yes, independent of this situation people have each done things wrong. That is irrelevant to this problem.
>>185469This isn't just some drama. It is game ending behavior coming from Posey that will eventually crash and burn this whole thing just as it has been known to happen before. If you can't be willing to hear this out, you deserve what is coming because this is not some shit that doesn't impact you. This will directly ruin your game, and you will be personally effected.
>>185464Okay, I know how retarded it looks when I slide on a keypad by accident. I SAID 'I presented'. Ns, Os, Us, and Bs, and other letters get jumbled in when Im going fast. Im sorry, but fuck off its happening. In any case, to reiterate:
>>185462I said what it looks like, yes.
>>185469>undesirable dramaAgreed, but it persists, and WHY it persists is because the potentiating behaviors persist. Like last night
>courtesy to Brie's playerBrie's player is on record with GM as to what he has going on. Do u wanna know?
>oldfag c'2017It was happening, if you missed it
>Sonata, AdelineYep, thats them. Good times, mostly.

>Im not the same person
A particular favorite, and very cliche. Andrew Tate is slinging this one after hundreds of millions in casinos and wecam whores. Everyone wants to have changed after they did the deed.
But they did! And Diddy did. But, the point here is that youre never a different person from then. You may want to think it, you can argue its not true on a cellular-regenerative level, but you're always a later version.
>but that version is different
Yours may be, his doesnt appear so
>>185470>>185471Then why don't you write up a list of specific and documented examples to send to GM Pone by private means, instead of playing Town of Salem in the OOC thread? My argument (and presumably Silver's player's) has never been "stick your head in the sand" but instead "don't muddy up our game with public accusations and attacks."
We probably won't get any more progress on the game tonight because of this unfortunately, because having to deal with a thread full of drama usually gets GM Pone out of the mood. What you're doing is personally affecting me too, so don't expect me to be sympathetic. I also can't help but suspect you of being Brie's player with a VPN, considering
>>185464 is his post with a different ID.
>>185472>WHY it persists is because the potentiating behaviors persist. Like last nightLast night had several players complaining, including yourself, with Posey's player's post just being the most grating. I don't consider it a malicious or manipulative post because Posey's player has always been open about favoring loot and fast progression over atmosphere, which is at odds with the GM Pone's view of the campaign. The way it was worded just made it seem dismissive which was a disappointment to him.
>Brie's player is on record with GM as to what he has going on. Do u wanna know?No because I don't want this information to be public.
>That was me while at walmartThat answers that.
>Oh, no dredging, its just been underfoot where people have kept itYes, it's better underfoot than overt because nothing good can come of these arguments. Your assumption of malice and citing of grudges against Posey's player won't end because it's apparent your end goal is to get him kicked from the game. GM Pone clearly doesn't want that and if you're in private correspondence with him then your evidence isn't strong enough to convince him. By starting public drama you're either trying to force Posey's player into defending himself (which makes the drama worse) or to manipulate the other players against him. I oppose what you're doing.
I will leave it at that because this entire argument will be deleted which is the best thing GM Pone could do in these circumstances. I was looking forward to a possible session but I hope you're happy with yourself for ruining that chance.
[Read more]
>>185476>better underfootThats been the problem the whole time. Unaddressed shit, and pretending to be nice and all so all could keep playing. Would that it could have, but Posey picked the wrong nigger. Here we are
>>185427>>185429Are you saying you want this in the game?
>>185432Based
>>185434This last weekend was only ever likely to have one encounter. I had one planned, and then from that point would look and see to what the Players did or chose to do. There were/are after battle actions that require downtime, and that would have prevented a second encounter.
Scheduling issues are and have been a consistent issue. Every time it looks like we have everyone together, oh no, Garv is out. Or Dust is out. Or floof is out. Or Posey is out. Or you are out. This is besides me having family matters and a job. It's not uncommon for us to not be able to play because of scheduling issues.
Also, three out of five players in the Mended Horn group were/are physically ill over the weekend. That's not a small matter.
To be honest, I don't think you managed your time perfectly either. On Friday, you were the one who called it early. On Saturday, while I think the hold up was that we were waiting on floof, you had like six hours to declare an action on the surprise round and I never got a clear and firm answer. And then on Sunday, I don't know if we've ever had a full encounter on a Sunday. I go to church, go to eat with my parents for lunch, and do other things. I had to work today and most people here either had to work today or were too sick to work today. So very little happened on Sunday. Yes, Posey's player offended me on Sunday, and because of it I stepped away and played Stellaris while watching Dragon Age: Veilguard hate reviews, and the same thing on Thursday.
But could you like... Not make 50 posts talking about how much you hate Posey? Can we leave the drama behind, step away for however long, and get on with things?

>>185476I already have made a list and told him. Last I checked, I never came out and told you guys this until you all are deciding to team up against the one guy that is trying to tell you, and you are pretending he is insane for stating the obvious.
>talking for someone else>don't muddyThen don't further fling mud by pretending you are not getting involved by directly getting involved here. For fuck sake, you are not being neutral by saying one person is directly wrong and to shut up about it.
>What you are doing is personally affecting me tooHow is me saying you are heading towards a cliff affect you? Do you want the joy of experiencing that freefall without the foreknowledge? I really hate that you have clearly deluded yourself by thinking anyone that points out a problem is your enemy in this.
>don't expect me to be sympatheticI didn't because I can tell you have none from how you are handling this. Neither do I want whatever brand of sympathy you have to offer if this is how you behave.
>I must be Brie with a VPNClearly when I am faced with information that disagrees with me, I must be facing the one person I already have written off. How about you ask someone on staff to confirm I am not Brie because of my post history. Lotus can directly back that up, or Elway if you want someone completely non-biased.

>>185478>I dont think u managed your time effectivelyNo shit. I waited to be available for a game that pops off at random. It seemed about to.pop off any moment. Maybe if a greater degree of limitation were placed on other players trying to nudge their characters forward, such that players who try to wait patiently get neglected and discarded, ask Stix, can NOT feel neglected and discarded,....
>>185482No srsly, I was up 29 hours Sunday, trying to be ready for the game, before it got fucked by an asshole
>>185478Maybe. Stallions are nice.

>How is me saying you are heading towards a cliff affect you?You are really doubling down on this. First of all, I trust the GM to have a handle on it. Clearly you do not, because you expect us all to suddenly yell at him to kick Posey from the game and accept nothing less. I find your behavior unhinged and founded upon personal grudges which makes me less inclined to believe anything you say. Maybe I
should backread all the Mixed Nuts threads to unentangle years-old personal beef, but is it really worth my time to do that? I would much rather make character sheets for when my characters level up, or roleplay as one of my two characters in the game. I don't like it when anypony keeps me from doing that.
>Clearly when I am faced with information that disagrees with me, I must be facing the one person I already have written off.I just find it odd that some lurker who played the same game you did years ago would show up at the moment you're writing these posts.

>>185494Its not about the mod card, its about "quit pretending he doesnt know what hes talking about"
>>185494Apparently you all need it. Can't have a single conversation without being called a samefag.
>>185497No, you being a mod has no bearing on the goddamn conversation, it's you just trying to intimidate him into submission. If you want to avoid being samefagged, use the handy name field just a little bit above the message box.
>>185498You are right. It doesn't have to do with it. I did something that Brie can't do to prove I am not the same person. Anyone can use two different names and still be a samefag. I just blew the allegations out of the water before they got worse.
>>185499Knock it off with the mod shit and just type in the name field. I
know who you are, no one would confuse you for being Brie's player.
>>185500Huh, I recall someone saying "Who's Stix" a couple months ago, when Inwas first getting into it with Posey.
>>185498>>185498>U being a mod doesnt matterYoure right! Being a WITNESS does
>>185500Clearly, he didn't. He wanted to discredit me to at least himself if not others reading the thread, thinking that no one else knew either.
Like I already said, I have made these things clear to the GM. He is free to do or not do whatever. However, I am free to all you all retards for ganging up on someone that is in the right, despite coming across as rude to you. Posey has ruined the games I have been in before and if that offends you, sorry. I would have stayed quiet, but it is maddening to see all of you unite behind the wrong person in this fight, because it will not end well for the game and it will do everything you are accusing Brie of doing, kicking someone from the game because of a disagreement.
>>185499>>185502I don't blame you for doing that. However this is an OOC thread for a DnD game, not a courtroom. Backing up a player's allegations against another player for something that happened years ago is helpful if it were a private conversation with the GM. It's not, it's public airing of grudges to accuse a player of "sabotaging" an ongoing game. Could we just not do that?
>>185502Every post you make under your mod tag in this argument discredits not only yourself but the entire mod team.
>>185503I want to, but every time Im assured/agreed the matter is resolved, something new appears. Again, not saying its the case, but its ALMOST like a person has used up their tricks and is trying at new things. It fits with the prevailing pattern
>>185503I already said that I am just annoyed that you are all uniting against Brie when there is evidence that you should either sit out dogpiling him or at least hear what he had to say.
What is this argument even about?
>>185508I explained it here in
>>185377 before it got buried by the constant posts.
>>185510Buried by the unresolved insistance that this isnt okay, never has been, and why still?
>>185507see
>>185476>My argument (and presumably Silver's player's) has never been "stick your head in the sand" but instead "don't muddy up our game with public accusations and attacks."You might be completely right on everything you say about Posey, past and present. GM Pone has put his hoof down on that he doesn't want this game to be filled with drama and fighting, and (presumably) instead you should just give him all this information in private. I happen to agree with him on that. Would my inner gossipmonger enjoy reading all the juicy details that some internet autists have on each other? Sure, I guess. But I'd rather have one place on this website where I don't have to worry about politics or drama and where I can just play tabletop with cute ponies.
tl;dr if you're worried about a player or another ruining the game then tell GM Pone about it, if you're right and he does nothing then that's on him but otherwise just play the game
>>185508I think Brie thinks that scheduling issues are you fault
>>185507The moderator tag feels oddly coercive in a way I can't quite place or articulate. Perhaps post anonymously? We know who you are.
>>185506Okay, but could we maybe not handle this with 50+ posts while almost everyone else is sick, asleep, or working?
Guys, my head is swimming, I can't handle reading all this rn.
Spell it out to me: did I say/do something wrong?
>>185513The moderator tag was to eliminate the attemt to disregard his position, thats obvious
>maybe mot 50 postsOkay. Maybe not 59 posts from others. I tried to be patient. I tried to be a "good player" and let them do their thing. And I ended with a thumb in my ass. I dont like ending with a thumb in my ass, and Im sure as shit not gonna let it continue.
>>185512I completely disagree that this is juicy gossip. This is a pattern that is being ignored to prop up the idea that Posey isn't doing anything worth complaining about.
>>185513I already explained why I did it. If you don't agree, you don't have to worry. I won't be returning anyway. I just wanted the endless dogpiling to stop when it is not productive.
>>185514At first yes. GM pone was upset when you agreed with the mission being shortened (though he seems to be doing better, at least on the outside), didn't want to continue after that, and Brie's player is mad that he stayed up to play and nothing came of it.
Something tells me you don't actually want the mission shortened, you just want to be able to level up and get money for a cool necromancer level.
>>185518*necromancer
lair
>>185515I am skeptical that this is a deliberate effort by Posey or anyone to fuck you or whomever over. This is just a fairly normal scheduling issue. See my post in
>>185478
>>185517>Im outI hope you dont mean that. Im not giving up
>>185518No no, Brie is mad that he posted extensively about insomnia, recording his awake hours for autists (including Posey) who will pretend to be unaware of - including the EXPLICIT post - watch, Im gonna pass out again cuz this is dragging on again - before I got some e energy drinks and stayed up until 4am fuming cuz this nigger couldnt say "Thanks Gnight"
>>185521Yes, your skepticism is warranted, and I wont waste yiur time.
But, disclosing now, this nigger WILL try EVERY fucking button/angle ubder the sun. He don't care you are is his PLAYTHING.
Or, thats how he comes across
>>185514Your post last night
>>185320 obviously disappointed the GM Pone and discouraged him from participating the rest of the night, but as far as I can gather the accusation is that you deliberately worded it to ruin the game for him. This is singled out among a number of posts by other players expressing some measure of dissatisfaction, and is one of two posts quoted directly by the GM Pone when he was evidently upset.
>>185517>dogpilingFair enough. I just can't help but see Brie's posts as stirring the pot.
>>185522I was considering telling you at the time to not drink the energy posts and I should have. Saying goodnight is something most of us neglect anyway, and there have been multiple times where I played late into the night and stayed up an extra half hour awaiting another post from the GM.
>>18552430 hours. 30 hours. I woke up, got a nat 20, was told "okay but gimme a sec" and this nigger fucked me the entire next day.
You cant claim its an accident when its a consostent pattern for years.
>>185526Oh my god,
Posey's player isn't TF
>>185518I don't care if the mission is shortened or not. Killing things is fun. Getting paid is fun. I just want to advance my character and the story.
I saw someone, I think it was GM, suggest shortening it, so I said I was fine with it if it happened. PbP sometimes get streamlined for scheduling reasons; no harm in that if it's necessary. I'm pretty sure we only have a more encounters left in the XP budget for this adventuring day anyway though, so we might as well just do it all. Either is fine for me. Squash some xenos. I could do it all day.
>>185521I am sick. I passed out last night. I slept most of today. As soon as I am better, I am going to have to do overtime every single day this week.
You can go ahead and play without me if you wish. Posey can't even talk to the NPCs, so she's basically just an attack turret for combat.
I don't even care if she's severely wounded, but I would prefer it if she doesn't die.
>>185528Exactly what I thought, it was all a matter of misunderstandings and communication failures. Again, I hope you get better soon, Posey! Same goes for everyone else who's sick right now.
>>185527You are absurdly naïve
>>185530They just aren't. Why would TF go to all of this trouble to come back and anonymously play a D&D campaign they've already explained multiple times they do not like, with two people they
absolutely do not like?
>>185525Anypony would be cranky in those circumstances. I can see why you would blame Posey but you could blame Floofernoodle just as much for what happened.
>>185528I don't think you picked up on it, but it was a rhetorical question along the lines of "I worked hard on this mission, the encounters, and the setting, do you really want me to rush through it?" and your response was "Yes." It doesn't surprise me that you responded with such since you are focused on different aspects of the campaign, but that answer still took the wind out of his sails because it felt like his hard work was unappreciated.
>>185532Oh, okay.
Sorry, GM. I didn't mean to upset you.
I must slumber again.
>>185530>>185526As I stated before,
"The only unsealing of ancient tombs" we will be doing here is by our characters.
>>185525>>185523I really don't think he was trying to push your buttons. I think we had unfortunate scheduling. As stated, we were only going to have one combat encounter anyways.
I know you're bright and wide awake at midnight on a Sunday/Monday morning, but all of us either have work or are trying to not die of COVID/Flu. You are awake when we are asleep, and apparently asleep when all of us think we finally have everyone together. That's not Posey's fault.

>>185535Yes, I know and disregard as silly, your opinion there.
>I dont think he was trying to push your buttonsMust we? Cant I just be resolved to a conditioned perception of bad faith cuz its proven out?
>youre awake when Posey is asleepYeah. So fuck off trying to bombard GM with what youd like to do next, and be a GOOD little blighter and ahut the fuck up until prompted yeh?
>>185536
>he can't even come up with a single point to argue
Anyways GM pone has spoken, knock it off with the "Posey is TF" stuff, it shouldn't have any bearing on the game regardless.
>Its about making sure nopony "accidentally" ruins it fkr any/everypony EVER again
Then stop shitting up the thread and drop the issue. It was just as I thought it was, a failure of communcation.
Explanations have been made, an apology has been spoken. Your need to keep talking about it is what's keeping it alive and preventing us from moving on.
>>185536
>This isnt about prosecution though. Its about making sure nopony "accidentally" ruins it fkr any/everypony EVER again
Logically speaking, the only way to do that would to kill each and every one of us. Can't ruin a game if there is no game, eh?
>>185537I would be more amenable to your presumption of malice if it didn't express itself with what is probably literally a hundred posts between yourself and others on an off day.
>>185440>Very cute! Is her cutie mark a human nun on fire?Yeah, you're kinda right. It's virgin one fire. ^^

Its the wee hours of the morning, so no one is going to object if I filibuster a bit more, yes?
Here's what really pisses me off about Sunday, aside from simply that I was rendered ultimately not able to play at all this weekend.
The following is a mild and minimally shameless glazing.
One of the best things about this game beyond most Ive experienced is the descriptions. The transitional moments where action or new propmts emerge, shifting the scene to a slightly new context in sequence.
GM does a better job at it than most, and I can point to where he isn't just visualizing in his head; he is drawing from personal experience and research when he describes intricate building structures. He applies his people-watching in how he describes casual pony behaviors. The airplane sequences are based off first hand visuals and skylines.
Theres alot of love he puts into the game, and all of us know it. And yeah, hes been doing it for 6 years now. Fucking incredible. I'm probably the last person who should be talking about gratitude. I'll shut up now.
ISTFG if another session gets ruined,... ill cry, but Ill act really angry on the internet

>>185553
This is the closest I could get with it. Also, every single one of the versions I tried were bugged in someway. *scrunch*
But I'll admit that gives somewhat of a good base to work from. ^^
>>185564Very cute! I havent looked over the character sheet yet, I assume it's in thread?
>>185553Not referencing this post, just activating the (you).
I'm largely retiring Brie after this mission, except as a possible RP fixture (like Addy was in the intro/briefing). Lacey will be my exclusive player. He will still be 'there' in a 'physical'/interactive sense, and will be present largely at Lacey's bar if and when that gets established/developed. In story/context, it could be situated/developed that Brie might be a stakeholder in the business, allowing for a more direct (but no less subtly-adversarial/competitive) relationship.
Whatever the case, Brie is not going to be going on any more missions.
Okay. We get it. You don’t like Posey trying to deviate in game actions. But we don’t need 75% of posts being you complaining about Posey. This is harmful to every single other player in the game.
>>185599Not to leave anything unanswered: you're right, we dont need 75% of posts complaining, any more than we need 20% of posts trying to bump their place "in line".
Im still waiting on that nat 20 search, and I for kne will be OKAY with not getting what "I think I deserve"
>>185570>Very cute! Ty.
>I havent looked over the character sheet yet, I assume it's in thread?You can find it here:
>>182481 however, that one is both flawed as an anon pointed out and also not updated, work-in-progress sorta deal.
>The sent and deleted posts regarding Posey's player I'm not here to tell you off (I don't feel that I understand the situation to, in goof faith, give my opinion on it honestly.) but I want to give you my perspective. When you post critique of another player, kinda don't let, up and they don't respond; (Again, you might be right here for all I know.) you come off as the one causing trouble.
What I'm trying to say here is that my suggestion is that, since you clearly have some issue with Poesy's player's behavior, you should definitely bring it up. It's good to air our feelings, I think. However, you should probably approach it in a more formal-ish manner. In practical terms, my idea would be that you write all your issues into one or (2-3) posts that you have with Poesy's player and post it/them.
But maybe you have already done that. So yeah, maybe your posting like this because you have tried everything else already. However, what you're currently doing is having the opposite effect of you intent. Like, you might be
absolutely in the right for all I know, but even I find it kinda, well not annoying but a bit like you're ruining the cozy atmosphere by your critical posts meanwhile, all Poesy has done
today is fun post about her pc dancing. This dance might have some implications and so on but you see what I'm getting at.
[Read more]
>>185619Also, I saw you mentioned me a few times. I'm not really sure how I came into it all but I appreciate you standing up for me, ^^ if I got that correctly.
>>185621It was my pleasure. You have far less time to play than many of us, especially on weekends and such
The thing about collaborative storytelling, especially in a format like this where the players never see or hear one another or even see when one another is typing, is that it forcibly restricts all the other senses, causing the brain to hyperfocus on the words and description. This causes a MUCH greater level of imaginitive immersion, a literal waking dreamstate.
And yes, in the right context means positive generation of ALL the best brain chemicals: Endorphins, Dopamine, Serotonin, and Oxytocin. It is naturally and productively addicting, because it excites the brain in all the ways we are wired to thrive under as social animals.
It is therefore doubly important that players exercise care in what they say. In that there's no body language, tone of voice, or any of that, the brain has to race to ascertain what was just said. And since players and GM are all trying to be as quick and efficient as possible, the best way to do that is to mentally let down the safeguards and mental protections necessary to insulate one's self in greater society.
So when everyone has their walls down, and is grinding in their mind to process, assess, and quickly respond to one another, an offhand shitty comment is like a virus to a computer with no firewall. Yes, it can be repaired (maybe, depending), but that comes after the sometimes lengthy frustration of scrubbing, restoring, etc.
Im just as guilty as anyone, this isnt accusatory. These games require a level of trust, and I get that I have given players reason to not trust me, which is why I'm making arrangements so that that wont be an issue. Y'all got along perfectly well before I showed back up, and I dont want anyone to lose that regardless of my personal feelings/impressions.

>>185626>It is naturally and productively addicting, because it excites the brain in all the ways we are wired to thrive under as social animals.Doubly so because we are autists who don't get much of this excitement normally ^.^
>So when everyone has their walls down, and is grinding in their mind to process, assess, and quickly respond to one another, an offhand shitty comment is like a virus to a computer with no firewall.Ain't that the truth. It's very easy to unwittingly give offense, and with thousands of replies posted with urgency to keep the game going it's bound to happen.
>Y'all got along perfectly well before I showed back up, and I dont want anyone to lose that regardless of my personal feelings/impressions.I hope you don't leave the game. Drama aside, you have been fun to have around and you have been here from the very start of the campaign. Before you rejoined I had been asking GM Pone for months if you were coming back because it feels like the game is missing something with your absence. Plus, who would be the party rogue?
>>185627Please, Im here forever. But I am restructuring how I play, particularly who I play and in what context. Honestly, Im more worried about other players leaving.
I really think that wd can get through the remainder of the mission with good spirits, and I came up with a few checks and balances of my own to prevent me from jumping to conclusions and taking undue offense.
>>185627>who would be the party rogue?A Ranger or Scout could fill that niche.
>>185629Nature abhors a power vacuum, that will be an option.
>>185627The biggest problem with Brie is, he was designed as a character when I was probably at my greatest stage of 'unwell'. He wasn't designed to be played 'right', he wad intended to be a vehicle for me to express my contempt and frustration for the world. DnD is inherently psychological. For this reason, Brie will be effectively retired (assuming he survives) at the end of this mission, as far as engagjng in combat or non-story/rp purposes (open to exceptions, if GM gets an appealing scenario jn mind). No, Lacey is far better for everyone, because her game is finding a way where everyone wins/profits. She can stab, theres a family tradition, but its far better to prosper and make mlney, isnt it?
Sorry, geeking
This is the nature of the existing tension between Lacey and Brie, is shes ALWAYS willing to renegotiate for better and more amenable terms of a developing agreement, especially if it avoids unnecessary bloodshed. Brie however is blood first, then check IDs.
For Brie, she's at times unreliable and inconsistent. For Lacey, Brie is hard-nosed and uncompromising. If Brie survives, hes coming out of this very different, and I think some sort of (mildly contrived) scenario where he is taking a step back and maybe help.manage Lacey's agendas will be good for both characters, as well as all participants/GM
I'll stop after this, I promise.
The thing that compels me about Lacey as a character is that her whole shtick is about making the best of a 'bad hand', but not in a tactical sense. Shes designed to have better assassin_rogue sneak-sploits than Brie, but thats her LAST move, as opposed to her first.
One of my top 3 alltime RP moments was in that first mission in the burning warehouse, where Brie (in character AND out) dared a griffon/GM to try and kill him, not even using a dodge action cuz it was new again and I had forgotten alot of things. The dice said no, the griffon missed, and then the dice said yes, Brie grts a nat 20 on both thrown daggers, described as embedding in the eyes of the opponent.
That was fine then. But aside from the face stabbing earlier, I dont want to ideate toward that mentality, and while "reforming Brie" is a good start, putting him on the backburner even if only temporary seems the best course of action.
Y'all have already been more than patient with my shit. Lacey wont bite if petted, thouch she might still pull a cautionary blade.
How many characters can we have at a time in this game?
>>185637It depends on the specific character(s) and situations.
>>185638May I create 200 level 6 yak barbarians (all with unique and rich backstories and personalities ofc) whose gimmick is to solve every quest with brute force?
>>185639Dont Yaks generally solve things with brute force?
>>185638Any preferences?
>>185639This, but Necropolitan Artificers and Masters who craft cool stuff.
>sudden realization
>yaks make for the best monk/pugelists cuz implied racial bonuses
I had this idea for a Yakfolk-inspired Sha'ir years ago. Pact with the Dao, genie themed, etc. The idea was to use a half-minotaur template and refluff it.
What about this idea:
Name: Kuiniu
Sex: Male
Race: Noble Yak (Half-Minotaur, half-ogre, Primordial Lesser D'hin'ni; LA total +2, which is equal to winged creature)
Class: Sha'ir (Yak Shaman, Genie Consuktant)
Alignment: Neutral, maybe Neutral Evil
Personality: As bullheaded as most Yak are, but also quite persuasive
Profession: Diplomat, Shaman
Goals: To establish the newly independent New Mareland as an ally of Yakistan (since Equestria was an ally)
Role: Party face, buffer, battlefield control, ranged spellstriker
Build: Diplomancer, caster
Strength: versatile with blessings of his ancestors
Weaknesses: despite size and fearsome attitude, is low HP and generally helpless in melee combat
Virtues: Keeps promises, supportive of friends
Flaws: Yak
Inspiration: Show, D&D Yakfolk lore, Asian History
Should I even bother making this sheet?

>>185649"200 yak barbarians" was a shitpost of mine but this concept is impressive.
>>185650It's pretty Yak-centric though. Idk how interesting it would be in the long run.
Okay, Sha'ir 5, Mystic Wanderer 1
Feats: Wanderer's Diplomacy, Mercantile Background, Silver Tongue, Leadership

>>185644Cavaliere was approved, actually suggested, because of the very simple reason that I wanted more players to join the main quest, but he refused to send Amber (believing it was not consistent with her character). So I had him make a new character who would go.
Kubana Kirafiki was proposed in passing, then we talked about it for what was probably two months, coming up with details of lamia culture, lamia biology, and details about the character. We planned out how she would be introduced in Baltimare and much of her first day. I like lamias, and it helped that she was to be introduced along an NPC companion whom I could use to make jokes about vore, and also was just a fun character. Kira is also an easily likeable character, being bubbly, nice, and fun to have every NPC run from in unintended terror. I think you can see we did not over complicate the character sheet or make her exceptionally powerful.
>>185649What does "Should I even bother making this sheet?" mean? I was under the impression you like to make sheets just because it's a fun little minigame. Are you asking if the character is guaranteed to be approved? Well no, I wouldn't approve any character without seeing a sheet first anyways.
I don't see any serious problems, although I will say that the alignment of "evil" and to a lesser extent, "neutral" is a nebulous term behind which much annoying behavior hides. Also note that Minotaurs are a thing in the show and EAW.
>>185644>200 Necropolitan Artificers and Masters who craft cool stuffNo
>>185639Maybe as enemies

>>185655My question concerned if you liked the Yak Diplomat idea or not.
If you don't like the idea of Yak diplomacy, then the character is pointless.
>>185657Could probably distribute those stats better
>>185657The idea of a Yak with higher charisma than Posey in the universe irks me, so I'm going to shelf this idea for now.
>>185633>sageingQuick follow-up
In a weird sense, you could say that I'm trying for Lacey and Brie to be a darker version of Pear Butter and Bright Macintosh, but with an alladdin-esque trope thrown in. Like, I havent fully decided on her CM, but Im really tempted to make it be about him in some capacity
>>185666Oh hey, I didnt even notice the satan trips
Kira wants to squishy face every pony she sees, they're just so cute!
>>185678 →How much Dex would you say a pony character would need to be able to pull that off? Silver's probably flexible enough to put his hindleg behind his head like that, with his 18 Dex unmodified.
>>185679Posey is a mutant, a zombie, and a masochist, and for her dislocating her joints or dismembering herself is just a mild inconvenience.
She practices yoga to keep her undead body beautiful.
I got the idea from the Nazi zombie contortionist in the Hellboy movie.
When I wrote Posey, her enhanced Dex was 20. Her current Dex is 16, which would still be considered superhuman (10 being average).
I had an idea (or a couple of ideas) that I think would be pretty neat, but would also very likely increase the length of the quest, veyr possibly significantly. Is this going to be very badly received, or what?
>>185682I would be all for it. We're not likely to return to this island so getting the most out of this eerie setting would be perfect.
>>185682>Is this going to be very badly received, or what?Unless it results in some kind of permanent unavoidable debuffs (as in, the kind we can't avoid by fighting/evading), Idk anything that I would dislike.
My only requests/suggestions:
>additional encounters/traps/puzzles/tasks that add to the XP budget of the adventure be rewarded with some appropriate treasure and/or levels, or otherwise contribute to character wealth/advancement/development (i.e. any kind of reward for winning, even if it's just a few coins or a random treasure roll)>be mindful of the other PCs who are low on healing resources, because their confidence will be affected by their health (this can be amended by adding a Healing Belt, Wand of Vigor, or potions to any loot rolls)But even if those requests aren't met, I'm fine with whatever. I trust that whatever you throw at us will be fun. Posey is adventuring to expand her personal powers, so she sees any kind of challenge as an opportunity to level up and practice her craft so that she can become a master and complete her apprenticeship.
We could be swallowed by a leviathan, warped into the far realm, or get abducted by aliens for all I care.
>>185684Also this. I have a completionist mindset, so I want to exhaust every avenue of adventure on this island.
Assuming the Marines don't freeze, but tbh they're marines and they should be able to take care of themselves.

>>185679As someone with negative dex, it's really not that hard to throw a leg behind your head depending on how you do it.
>>185682Sure, I'd be game
>>185688 →Is Shimmering Spark also a mage?
It's what I gathered from the backlogs I read.
A Wizard, I think?
>>185682Yay!
>>185686There are places to take shelter on the island, and Kira's Survival modifier is high enough that she realistically would have zero problems making a fire, so once the Traveler is dealt with we can stash the Navy ponies in a safe location with a cozy fire while we explore.
>>185680>>185687Hmm...Silver could probably do so, then. I should have him display his flexibility more.
Clarification: in EaW for HoI4, the everfree bar society still is steuctured largely around Nightmare Moon and her ideals.
So, Brie knows that mentality. But, this is more evil even than Nightmare Moon, who was at least lawful in her evil. She didn't mind control ponies certainly, and aside from permanent night time never warped reality
>>185750I meant bat society. But bar is also funny
>>185829 →That dream sequence really was a bad idea...
Mystic Wanderer is probably the best class for Zebra alchemists.

Anyway, so from picture I get BAB=9 and then from the first level of Barbarian I get +1. I mean, I convinced that I did a mistake but I'm not sure where. Do you see it?
>>186165Ah, they don't add do they. So it's 3+1=4 BAB, right?
>>186151 →>What do you want?I want to fulfill the mission, advance my story, flex my powers, find treasure, and level up.
>listing numbers Not sure what you mean here.
>Then your character deliberately provoked the Traveller into hostility when he wasn't initially hostile, and then furthermore you've provoked multiple new summons within combat.Well, I know that "it's what my character would do" is not an excuse for poor behavior, but I was just roleplaying Posey as Posey, asserting dominance against invading ayys, and encouraging it to expend resources on her own terms instead of during the fight against it.
>Then you asked if your character could be in more danger.I was considering that because I felt like I wasn't contributing to the group enough lately, so I offered up myself as a pincushion, even with my reduced HP.
>And now you complainNot complaining, bro.
>too many encounters and they are too pointless.Combat is part of the fun, but I was thinking tactically with the mission in mind, since the rest of the party benefits from not expending their HP/healing resources when they can avoid it.
>You complain the combat is too easy.No...?
>You complain the combat is too hardAlso no.
>You complain it is too easy immediately after saying it is too hard immediately after saying it is too easy. Literally no. I am not complaining. You are misinterpreting my posts.
>You want combat that has no relevance to the storyI like random encounters that yield treasure and XP to level up, but yes, I am fond of tactical combat.
>but as soon as there are less than a handful of fights that serve the story it's too much combat and the story needs to be shorterI didn't ask for that. You suggested it, and I said that would be fine.
>Likewise on the loot, you say that the magic items belonging to the party are suited for level 12I was expressing surprise, not complaining.
>Then you say that too many enemies are not dropping loot.Well, treasure is always welcome.
It's not a huge deal though.
>Then you don't care much when enemies that have pockets and wallets to raid have money and various items on them.I've been looting them this whole time, haven't I?
>What do you want?I want to continue the adventure without arguments.
>Would you rather we eliminated that damned cursed crown, we eliminated the agreed upon pay out, we eliminated any possibility of magic items in safes on the ship or artifacts in the research bay, or of rescued NPCs or their families paying out rewards, or of taking pictures of the Traveller and leveraging them for more money - basically if we took every single rewardOf course not.
>You're like a cat that wants to be let outside. Then come back inside. Then let back outside. Then come back inside. Then outside then inside then outside then inside.Well, sometimes my posts contradict eachother, but they're also made weeks or even months apart, so idk if the cat comparison is appropriate...
>Do you want combat or not?Sure I want combat.
>Do you want a complete overhaul of the way in which loot works or not?Idk what you mean by overhaul, but loot is always fun.
>What do you want?Well, mostly, to level up, but otherwise I just want to play. I'm fine with how things are going.
>It's driving me insane. Fucking pick something.GM, I appreciate your concern for my enjoyment, but you really don't have to think that hard about it. I have said time and time again that I am fine with the way things are going. The only evidence you need for that is that I am still playing it. I wouldn't still be playing if I didn't like it. I don't play games I don't like, so you don't need to worry about it.
Sure, I had reservations about the rate the story was progressing, or some of the toxic arguments that pop up every month, but I'm still here, aren't I? It's fine. I fine. Your game is fine.
I haven't been meaning to complain, but if my posts come off as complaints, then that is on me. I will be more considerate to prevent showing ingratitude.

>>186166 →Yes. A grapple is an attack.
A grapple attack consists of:
A touch attack (grabbing/touching the armor)
A grape check (to hold on)
And an anti grape check, to try to fling u off.
Grapple checks are usually strength-based, involve an attack of opportunity (unless u have improved grapple), and the grapple CHECK DOES involve the BAB, it isnt an am attack roll
>>186169>advance my story*Advance THE story, not mine alone.
Retyped that halfway through "advance my character" and made a typo.
It suddenly occurs that maybe we will need the marines to survive this,....
So, without getting a consensus, it would SEEM that OOC we're all good with going after the marines next.
If that is the case, my suggestion for both ease and process, that a rousing speech from the coot noodle and doggo would probably sway any in-character motivations.
It would also be a cute way to kick off the next 'round' of full-on gameplay
>>186183Oooo, noodle speech. I'll have to think one up.
Another question, are we still leading a daisy-chain of formerly mind-controlled ponies and others? I dont recall getting a clear idea of how we were handling that. Not pressing, Brie probably won't want to release them until trying to board the freighter anyway. Might be useful depending on the mass of forces in thrall.
>>186185An extension to that question is what do we do with the commies that aren't possessed? Because something tells me they've been marked for death by their own comrades.
>>186186I agree, thats important too, but my question is WHERE are they? I had thought we had them in an unfortunate-but-necessary prison chain gang. I recall it being said a while ago that they were staying behind, but who's in charge? Is it the griffons from the whalers ship?
Again, these are informational questions. Nothing is to change.
>>186186So long as they believe that we are pirates, it shouldn't matter what we do with them.
>>186189The party hasn't moved much. They should still be there
