>>2001
ah a fellow warrior taur take me to him

[1d20 = 20]
>>2003
>>2004
I don't know about 'warrior', but he's a proper bastard.
>walking outside to where Torcuil is.
As you approach, you see a long-bearded scotsman in a billowing robe (think of a full-body kilt) glancing around for some inspiration.

>>2003
You might be pregnant. Happy now? ^_^

>>2005
ah hello you magnificent bastard
it is i INFERNUIS

>>1955
Pssst

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
WAIFU-THIEF COME OUT SO I CAN >RAPE YOU PROPERLY, YOU COWERING SNAKE!!!
>>2007
I haven't finished drawing their OC offspring, but that was supposed to be the end-game.

*ovulates*

>>2012
Tracy's already been raped 6 gorillion times. I was going to make it a sort of miracle that she'd become fertile again.
>*spashes water on face*
"Time to wake up, Flashy!"

>>2013
Question,... from where does she get this water?

[1d20 = 14]
>>2008
Okay, so Torcuil is afb (away from board) atm. Last I checked him he was raring to go, so how about we leave it at an 'unspecified friendly contact' for the time being.

>>2014
Didn't Thez hand me that water earlier?

>*smacks unconscious face in frustration, while humping boner*

>>2015
alright i ask Thez to take me to the library

>>2015
Yes she did. And you can be certain then that Trump will be erect for the entirety of his slumber (till he logs in). Also, he will remember nothing.

What happened while I was away

>>2018
The fuck did I just read?

>>2017
Sure!
>pokes Torcuil
Since we're doing this on an imageboard, its kinda anything-goes, so it doesn't always mesh just right, but its still lots of fun desu.
>leads back to Library, see 2F image

[1d20 = 8]
>>2021
i look for a copy of mein kampf

>>2020
>>2019
This is what happens when you skip-out on game night.
*smacking stops*
"Oh, look who decided to wake up!"

>>2020
You can't quite remember
How was your movie? (sweetest of smiles)

>>2023
With an 8, I'm tempted to be a dick, but since its MK, you find it on a pedestal between two shelves, a light placed above it for ambience and reverence.

>>2025
It was great!
Trump instinctively punches Tracy in the face
I will delete or edit all of this I have to I swear

[1d20 = 3]
>>2026
i ask for adolfs blessing to kill all the stripefags. and then i turn to a random page to see if adolf is giving me a sign.

>>2027
>GM shrugs
Its headcanon now Xp

"Now, Flashy, used one of Ezekiel's tricks to 'help' you out a bit while you were passed out. Don't worry: it's not permanent. We'll have a couple hours of personal time before things get serious, so until then.
>*straddles crotch and wraps hooves around your chest*
"Love me!"
>>2027
>Implying you can do shit while tied up and paralyzed

>>2031
Okay, here's what I've come up with. The first drug mixed with the second drug in his system, negating some aspects but leaving others in operation. The result is that he's now conscious, with an uncomfortable boner, with no memory of what happened in the last hour or so. Good?

"Here. We. GO!"
*inserts*
>>2033
I demand that he still be doomed if he doesn't acquire the antidote though.

>>2035
Pali's are immune to lasting/life-threatening poison, be happy this worked at all
>>2037
Shamefully, I haven't read MK yet so I can't quote
You get a sign that you should kill ziggers.

*Grumbles at having scenario foiled*
I should've >raped him when I had the chance...
*speed increases*
roll to wear down Flashy's stamina.

>>2039
Pssst, u did rape
Trump successfully loosens some of his bonds through sheer force. He's now loosely tied to the bed, and able to move around a bit.

[1d20 = 7]
>>2038
i walk back to the room i woke up in because i forgot my sword there perception as im in the hallway to hear anything

>>2042
>left his sword on the floor
I had no idea, I thought you had it with you

[1d20 = 11]
>>2043
im gonna chalk it up to being exploded 2 times

[1d20 = 7]
"Ah, you're quite the trooper. That's the man I married."
*grasps chest firmly*
*speed quintuples*
Roll to finish him off.

>>2044
>shrugs
Its all good. We still haven't ventured into the danger zone, so its all bants atm.

Like what the fuck. I leave for three hours in "cinematic mode"

>>2045
darn it

>>2045
o_o
>_<
>_o
When you say 'finish off', are you being redundant? Its getting to the point where I want to put gloves on, but the deed is done. O_o

Trump is standing exactly where his character left off in the woods returning to the clearing, now healed of his bruises from the fight with the giants

>Inb4 this thread leads to a Trump/Tracy OC
This is NOT what I intended, but I didn't exactly stop it either,....

>>2050
>didn't read the box
>>2047
*shrugs irl*
You didn't show up, and I was bored. It's 1:30 am where I am now.

So? How do you respond to this predicament?

>>2051
Yes, that is correct. And nothing else *at all* happened.

>>2053
He doesn't remember
Predicament?

>>2046
to the danger zone!

>>2057
>following his lead
"This guy's got the right idea! Who cares who MAY have raped who, or what MAY have happened,... there's a whole world of shenanigens to get lost in!
>Thez beams

Seriously, what is the status quo? I see there is a new character and... What's going on?

>realizes that no one else has realized the Minotaur.
"Oh, right, this is Infernius. He blew up while you all were busy. He wants to kill ziggers."
She seems happy at the thought of murder and mayhem, as though anyone didn't know already.

>>2060
>status quo
Wut? There's a new character - a Minotaur Cleric - and Tracy has been entertaining herself while you have been idle. Nothing that has occurred will be consequential or damaging, but IS headcanon now, and will be depicted at some point
Gratz, you've helped inspire a Tracy/Trump OC.

>Thez looks at Infernius
Ya know, you're right. Lets go kill some shit. I was thinking of doing other stuff muh record contract but really, I just want to spill some blood.
It'll be bad blood, I promise.

>>2062
wanna fuck later?

>>2064
to the ziggers!!

>>2065
>Implying it was TracyxTrump
This was TracyxYOU.

What have I gotten myself into?
>>2066
>Thez sizes him up
You'd have to bind me first, but yeah, lets kill some shit.
>>2068
R U guys ready to kill shit, or do you want to enable him to wrangle his way out of this? The longer we dawdle, the more time he has to try and come up with a counter,....

>>2069
I will go with the flow. If targets come I will kill them.
*prowls in the shadows, eyeing Flashy's back*

Trump, having never been attacked by Tracy, stands in full armor and full health with his sword at the ready

>>2072
Never attacked

\r

>>2072
>>2073
She presents a good point. She just got belted across the face. Of course, she had him tied to a bed but,....

>>2075
Well technically yes, but its far less story-cumbersome if his armor was slipped off him rather than being cut. He was unconscious,....

>>2075
Never left the wooded area

>>2077
Dubs confirm, Trump was uh standing outside the whole time. By Torcuil even, yes they were standing there the whole time
>sweat
Nothing untoward happened here. Lets kill some ziggers!
>nervous laugh

>>2080
i trust all my party member surely i want be raped

Okay, so for the situation as it stands (kinda modded cuz there was discontinuity) lets assume that Trump stormed his way outside while Thez, Infernius, and Torcuil were standing out there.

>>2081
Where is unknown, but you can tell by this new fellow that there is cause to be avoidant of and as permitted murderous of, ziggers.

>>2073
>being this Awesome
Go ahead; re-write history: it will unrape you.
\r

>>2083
1. Was I knocked out by Tracy or not
2. Do I have my armor
3. Do I have my sword
4/ are there enemies nearby?

We won't speak for the moment of what may or may not have transpired WRT Tracy/Trump. Ever,... unless it comes up again Xp.
Seriously though, unless players are intent on raping eachother (which, I admit, is not prohibited), there is not much story to develop on that avenue (anymore lol)
>>2085
Consider it a compartmentalization that has not become consequent yet.
>>2086
1. No, of course not, that would be untenable and improper, I'm offended that you would suggest otherwise. What manner of bread do you think this is, something degenerate?
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. No

>>2086
(so can i get a quick rundown on your character)

>>2089
Trumpaladin, a Paladin and lawful good, former member of the imperial guard I'm guessing of Equestria? and served in multiple capacities. Loves his nation and loves killing things. I think I'm a large human also

>>2091
>instinctively putting this at an introductory phase
Trump extends his hand in stoic and measured openness to this Bullish (literally) monstrosity that only actually stands about 1/2 a foot taller.

[stalking intensifies]

>>2092
"Pleased to meet you Mr... Mr. Inferius."
>wants to say "I've worked with many diverse and colorful characters including Mintotaurs, but doesn't want to sound awkward and kind of racist by bringing it up

>>2091
i am infernuis, ceric of adolf hitler the god of rage and truth. i seek to save eqrestria from the zigger menace trying to replace them

>>2089
>>2094
"I would ask you what brings you out here, but I guess we're both sort of in the same situation"

>>2094
i like your trump but he dosent compare to my adolf

>>2095
"I see. I too am a servant of my nation. Or I was, anyways. Perhaps I can help you on your quest."

>>2098
Thez suddenly remembers something about Trump being literall Hitler, but thats a far-off and unassociated memory.

>>2099
i would love allies on my crusade

>>2102
Tell me, do you have any idea on how to get out of here?
*eyes Thez worriedly*

>>2103
no, i tried to go into some rooms and exploded.

>>2103
>whooofs upside down in a legs-crossed sitting position
We (and I'm including me) haven't explored beyond the north gate!

*ears twitch*

>>2105
the north gate seems the best place to start

*listening*

i walk towards the main gate

*watches from stealth*

>>2104
I'm guessing you must be new here. I have met with Football... Not just a representation of Football, but the one, true Football, and He told me that we are already dead; we have been selected because of our merits and also that blue one over there. This snake lady thing said something similar - that we are already dead, that there is no going back, and that we are to fight endlessly and pointlessly for the amusement of bored minor deities...
>>2107
But if there is a way back to save our countries... well, we may as well try the main gate. Onwards!

*walks towards the main gate*

So (unless I hear any objections) the overwhelming party consisting of:
Torcuil - Currently absent, but a stout Scotsman and developming Meme Magician (lit, he has to meme to cast spells).
Trump - Totally not raped in any way, Trump is resplendent in his shiny armor, with his fine Bastard sword and ample tower shield.
Tracy - Totally not a psychopath in any way. Has a bandolier of knives tho, and looks at you weirdly.
Infernius - The new guy. He's not a monster, he's a minotaur. He carries a Zwiehand(Exceptionally-Great-Sword) with augmenting (and useful!) knee and shoulder-plates.
Thez - Archetype, Tulpa, She's here to make sure anyone who is pudding gets to still play; Sadistic rage-monk.

>>2111
dead,alive it dont really matter all thats matter is we kill those ziggers.

>>2112
"Cuz if you die, I can just whack you with a stick!" she menacingly adds.

*Trump ponders his memory of an Episode of Star Trek, "The Gamesters of Triskelion"*
>>2113
*Looks at Inferius funny*

"First, do we have all of the supplies we need to venture far?"

>>2115
Yes, ample dry rations have been available such that you would naturally have taken advantage and would have them in possession

>>2112
*looks towards supply stores*

>>2115
the fhurer will provide

>>2117
wrong pic...
>>2112
looks about right.

"I recommend the Hydra jerkey!"
Thez enthusiastically offers.

>>2117
N-nice s-swords

>>2122
*whispers* nice swords

Okay, I have to ask your opinion as players at this point.
Traditionally I would present you with an obstacle, in this case a large, reinforced, iron gate. I would do so to give certain players the opportunity to gain experience for ingenuity or creativity. I would also use this opportunity to drag the game out some, cuz rhythm.
This is not a traditional rendering of the game. Can I instead suggest that there may have been some arguing over methods, some bants and insults, and some general tomfoolery before ultimately the gate 'got broken from increased attention' and the party carried on?

>>2124
sure thats fine with me

>>2126
I appreciate your willingness to compromise. Its not always like this, but its not always like 'anything' at this point. I welcome your participation.
>>2127
U with your,... oh sleep! Xp
>>2115
Its not (You) who is getting raped/exploited (come on, Paladins are comic relief, combat aside), its Trumpaladin, and he is no more real than a pony. Xp

Concluding Tracy as being passed out (lit or fig) I see nothing barring a continuation of the story.

>>2128
so what happens next gm

>>2129
>>2131
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm not being left out!
*continues some distance behind group*

>>2130
We venture north through the (fuck that shit) broken gate.

[stalking mode activate]

>>2133
i stop and take a piss

[1d20 = 20]
>>2134
Wasn't leaving out, just making so character can go afk if needed

Oh, so vanished

>>2136
Fuck it then. My brain's shutting down, and I have shit to do tomorrow....
Trumpadin, show-up on time next week, so you don't get >raped.

I do want the story to continue, and I'm fully prepared to go to lengths to depict it. Having said, I also recognize that anons are/may-be on different timezones and positions. Tracy is falling out, but characters can still play on. I'll admit a bias toward Tracy 'cuz Thez wants to rape her, but we can work well past that.

>>2139
alright i continue on

>>2140
Fuck. It sucks when that happens.

>>2140
Rather, are you stable enough to hold out for a few weeks at minimum?

WHY Kek? Why doth thou graceth thyne bread with wanton dubs and trips?! Is it thy will that those who doth venture into parts unknown of the imagination be blessed and checked?

>>2144
Checked...
*Sleeps irl*

>>2144
Yeah, I should be able to hold out. The job search is putting me into depression and a litany of side issues are not helping.
Never go to law school. I do not care how well you did on the LSAT or how ranked an institution you were accepted into

>>2147
>almost went to law school
>ended up in industry
I can argue any-which way.

BTW, some mod needs to make it so Game Night doesn't rape the mainboard.

>>2141
Sorry Infernius/Confed-anon, it doesn't look like there are enough players to sustain the Game. Generally the Game runs on Saturdays, with storyline, bants, and inter-character development at leisure through the week. Next Sat, we'll pick up where we left off (on the verge of killin'! ssshhhh, u don't know that yet), but since we're (the group) not in a threat-situation, u can interact as you like per the maps. I can't reupload cuz they're in thread.

>>2149
If you mean the prominence of the thread on the homepage, perhaps the feature causing posts from the board to appear on the home page could be made configurable, such that /vx/ could be easily listed or delisted as needed with Admin edit, or perhaps threads with special tripcodes would not have replies to them appear on the homepage (sounds unnecessarily complicated to me, but there's a Dev I'll bet would love to write this).

If you mean the fact that the main board sort of dies, I think that's just what happens when 4 active posters are distracted from the main board.

>>2151
Not dies, but is drowned certainly. The nature of the Game guarantees rapid posting.

>>2152
So... Like what do you want changed?

>>2153
Well, I come out of a gaming-coma and when I look at the homepage its all /vx/-gaming. I'm not adverse, but I imagine this inhibits browsing and perusing, so I would suggest something that prevents game thread from being obtrusive? IDK.

>>2151
What I meant:
The gaming thread hogs the homepage. I would hate for a random new-mlpol to get drowned in gaming shit by happenstance. Thank you for the degrees of slack that the gaming thread has enjoyed, but look out for the newb,... we may rape them in time.

>autistic reee-ing
I fucking past out again last night, sorry about that guys
Dont drive three hours then RPG

>>2157
You missed the party...
Don't worry, we didn't really kill anything last night.

>>2157
Yeah, no worries. It took most of the session to get everyone ready to venture out anyway, not that that is a bad thing since we got another player out of it!

>>2159
>>2158
Okay, glad to hear I didnt miss anything
So, ill be free tonight if anyone wants to play though

>>2141
Oh! I totally forgot to mention! We've gamed like this for the past three weekends, usually starting in the afternoon/evening on Saturdays, and I'll spend the week (off and on) filling in details that might have been overlooked, unspoken, or too cumbersome to require players to "ask the right questions".

>>2160
Well, there is ONE thing you missed, but I'm pretty sure that some players want to pretend it didn't happen,.... Xp

>>2162
Pretty sure you meant to say "I'm pretty sure it didn't happen

>>2163
Yes of course, how careless of me to misspeak in such a manner that suggests otherwise,... cuz we can be certain that nothing happened and all. ^_^

>>2160
Yea if you guys want to play today im down.

>like I'm not gonna be around
I'm not opposed,....

>>2167
Nah its alright then

>>2162
Oh the rape shit?
Eh I expected it from tracy starting at day 1

>>2169
R... rape? Whatever are you talking about? Nothing of the sort ever happened, it must be your imagination. ^_^

>>2115
>Gamesters of Triskelion
Actually, thats a very apt comparison, though in this case the audience is "whatever" is the causal agent(s) behind meme magic. Desu, that's a number that is legion.

So to reiterate, we can do a little gaming tonight (after Tea I'm thinking) if players would like, otherwise Thez is going to banter more about the game/etc as the party makes its way north. Feel free to throw out questions or w/e as inspired.

>>2224
It's really an interesting question. In Gamesters of Triskelion, they are to fight for the pleasure of the pretend-gods, basically as gladiators. However, many Christians will openly say everything "is for the pleasure of God." Yet the two are looked at very differently. I think it's because in the Christian context, the service is to a loved and respected authority figure. There is a reciprocated love of the served deity, so that the service is in part out of love. The served deity is also highly respected and admired, and his approval is very highly valued. It's the same as making your father or your hero proud, except more so. In the Gamesters of Triskelion, it's basically slavery and suffering for the sake of simple amusement to beings who are not admired or admirable, and who are not loved nor do they give any love in return for the service.

This matters because of how it plays into Trumpaladin's motivations. He is a former soldier and law enforcement officer. He is motivated to serve a purpose higher than himself. He is no one's gladiator, though he is a happy and willing crusader. That's why he interprets the words of John Elway and Thez, though they say almost the same thing, very differently. The former is inspirational, the latter causes a crisis of faith

>>2226
Refresh me memory
Is Gamesters of Triskelion the one with the Bamboo cannon?

>>2225
Lurking and ready to >play at a moment's notice.

>>2227
Ah, nope
I havent seen that episode yet
Is GM here?
I wanna party

>>2227
The Bamboo Canon Episode is "Arena," which is not the episode discussed here, although is very similar in that a set of god-like entities are trying to make two species fight for them, so it's a relevant comparison.

Gamesters of Triskelion is an episode where Kirk and a few of the crew are taken from the transporter bay and end up in a gladitorial arena where they are excepted to fight with other beings who are kept captive there. The voices heard operating the arena are very pushy and demand they fight for their amusement, calling them "thralls" and keeping them in line with sort of Shock-collars. Kirk quite naturally charms or romances a female captive, and they eventually manage an escape and attack the computers that are holding them.

I'm here, and I see Torcuil, Tracy, and Trump are also here. Infernius, are you in das haus?

>>2231
EYYYYYYYYY
THE PARTY ARRIVED
>>2230
Ahh thanks
I really havent hotten past season 1 yet

>>2232
We have another player. Infernius, the Minotaur Cleric blew up yesterday (twice) and has joined in on shenanigens.

>>2233
>blew up
>twice
What was the second time?

>>2234
He opened the door next to him too. ^_^
I'm pretty sure he's the OP of the COYA thread, but that's been idle for 2 hours now so idk if he's on.

>>2234
Read the thread. He had a few shitty rolls.

>>2235
>>2236
Kek

Firetrap doesn't do all that much damage anyhow. The practice began because previous players had a nasty habit of sneaking into one another's room, so one player started putting a firetrap on his, not so much to deter thieves, but as a motion-detection; it can only be disarmed magically.
Over time, other players contracted the initial to put firetraps on their rooms as well, as the absence of an explosion upon returning meant that someone had been in their room. Eventually, said character made a practice of firetrapping all the rooms, particularly when players were inside for lulz. This is when the sign was posted, which only egged him on further.

But he's not dead, its that he has died. Besides, in order to understand all that, you have to figure out the riddle of the player who is controlling the player, who then controls Trump. ^_~

"See, the thing is that while we are here, wandering through the (now into the) forest, there are faggots sitting in front of devices kinda like the sphere in the pyramid, essentially controlling our every move.
In the same sense, those faggots are characters being controlled by players beyond THEIR comprehension."

"The actions we are naturally and inevitably inclined to make are actually determined by individuals shall we say, who exercise control over us in the context that is presented. For example:
>Thez kicks Infernius in the junk
Note that he doesn't respond. This is because his faggot is not currently interfaced. In the same sense, there is a faggot behind the faggot who interfaces with our faggot and makes our faggot make us do things.
>Pouf is 'poof' au francais

In the case of Infernius' faggot, his faggot's faggot hasn't caused him to be present, so I don't get the satisfaction of having junk-punted him."

>>2248
*Steps forward curiously*
"So... Does this mean that any one of us won't be able to move, unless the faggots in whereeverthefuck controlling this place are paying attention? Couldn't that suddenly make any one of us very.. vulnerable, to attack?"

Also note, there's a Gantz-esque element to the game, in addition to 'entity involvement'. There is some utility to the Game that is currently unknown to characters, even Thez.

>>2253
Is...
Is that thez?
