Reposting why I am mad at GM about the
>I'm skeptical
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.
It's just a game. Chillax.

>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.

Whatever positive things you say are clearly invalidated by telling him to fuck off every other week, or apparently also sending him obnoxious DMs in discord about dick sucking.
Just because you leave a compliment here and there doesn't neutralize the negative effect you have on people.

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.

>>188028 →
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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
