GM did ask for it.
I have more ideas, but those were just the things I had off of the top of my head.
Also, they are not necessarily solo.

What kinds of plans, ambitions or ideas for sidequests do other players have? Is anypony interested in helping Posey usher in the day of bug spray?

Kira is going to do anything she can to help improve public perception around lamias, and get the governor of Baltimare to agree to let her tribe come in and settle as refugees. Silver's going to go on an adventure to look for the Tree of Life and, hopefully, save the world along the way.

This sounds like gaining Reputation Points, which is what Posey is trying to do.
Perhaps we could help each other.
>get the governor of Baltimare to agree to let her tribe come in and settle as refugees.
Hmmm, more potential Bone Nagas...
I, too, have a vested interest in subverting the policy agenda of the customs department.

Interesting.

Could you maybe let other people post and NOT decide to give your personal take? Maybe just let other posters "be"?

I don't really care what you think of me, m8. I was having a conversation with Silver, not you. You are the only poster who has complained, as you always do. If the other posters have a problem with it, I will listen to them. Until then, I shall post as I feel is appropriate at my leisure.

Let me explain. (you) felt perfectly entitled to bitch and moan about the disruptive nature of repeat posts. And yet, refuse to denote the disruptive nature of walls of text about character aspirations

and if you go back and look, you'll see that in my spergyness - the same sort that results in this:

Was simply NOT condensed into 3 posts. Very well, I'll begin writing the detailed history of the Row family, since it pertains to my character aspirations. Wouldn't that be a gas?

>ideas for sidequests
Let me illustrate:
In order for Brie to achieve his aspirations, he will have to convince Lacey's father, and his 3 brothers. The reigning Grandfather already likes him, but he's anathema for havinggotten raped by having sex with Lacey in the first place.
The Row family is an ancestal ninja family, established when an ancestor dispatched an evil ugly nasty JUST like the Traveler.
Ergo, having been seduced by the Row family heir AND having (ostensibly) survived very much the same sort of encounter by which the Row family established themselves, his intention is to fight
(doon doon)
for the right
)doon doon)
To bat puuuuuuuuuuusssssssssay
Unintended, but it felt right
So, his intention (again assuming he walks out of this, cuz unlike some ponies Brie can actually die) is to retire after a long bit of social dialogue, and maybe a bit of combat.
After establishing Lacey as a character, side-quests that could serve her intentions are limitless, but a brief outline of the types include:
Negotiations/Diplomacy
Robbery
Black Operations
Social Manipulation (like the previous, except people get less mad when you're caught)
General combat (if necessary)
If more specific examples are necessary I can offer examples and suggestions.
Forgive me for not asserting/expecting "World domination, absolute corruption of everything, etc." isn't listed. I guess some think globally while others think locally.

Suspecting that this will be interpreted weird, I mean that the grandfather likes Brie, but BRIE is anathema for having had sex with Lacey (there was a pregnancy), after having saved Lacey's ass during an 'instance'.

>Perhaps I may have use for it after all.
Oh, I actually helped with this idea! Okay, I won't spoil it too much, but I will say that the result won't be entirely what you were expecting, but Lament should be able to explain what the benefits of the outcome are. I don't know if GM pone will actually do it, but we'll see if/when Posey returns to the mansion one day and Lament asks her to follow him while he shows her something.
>>189960
There are more ideas for Silver than just that, though most are personal ambitions or going on adventures that his finds in Curwhinny's dungeon lead him to. Like, he wants to expand his house so he has enough room to house all of his collected NPCs, buy a workshop and set up a smithy to outfit himself, the party, and earn passive income to support his household, find a lost island in the middle of the Thalassic Ocean, and look for a pirate queen's treasure including a special ring for...reasons.
>Perhaps we could help each other.
Kira would definitely appreciate the help from a friend!
>Hmmm, more potential Bone Nagas...
Oh noes. Make sure Kira doesn't know about that part.
Also, I'd like to post sometime a rundown on the lamias, their history, and all of the different kinds of lamias. Is there any interest in that at all or should I just forget about it?

Oh for fuck's sake. Let me give you a paste-bin, since I don't know what you have planned, but I guarantee whatever it is is something I could chess my way around, but okay, we'll do this the hard way.
Brie's primary method would be to avoid detection, sweeping as much of the available perimeter as possible. His next step would be to observe movements, positions, formations, patrols; find what repeats (if applicable). While doing so, an analysis of the involved parties would occur; one can predict the crew of the Kostromo, and likely the GRU; who knows who else.
Next comes an analysis of possible shatter-points. Explosive barrels, weakened structures, perhaps even oil in the water; anything to shift the fight as needed.

While y'all wanna play like it's "Days of Our Lives", Brie seemingly is the only pony who's treating this like its a mix of Metal Gear: Solid, and Silent Hill.
Appreciating that characters may not have made the mental leap, but a probable consequence of failure is an eternity of slavery to the Traveler.

Because of a work related matter I'm not really available today, but I would like to see if we could get to combat soon. Maybe middle of the week?
>>189992
If you made any mention of being propsectively available today, it didn't reach. So when you say "I WON'T be available today" I wanna punch you in the junk AND the throat.

how many fucking times do I have to say "hey, give a heads up"
By heads-up, I DON'T mean aftermath
>>189992
I can check during the week any time, but I will likely need to wait until the evening (after work) to participate in active combat.

To answer your stupid question, it is relevant because I am not able to quit my job to play D&D in the middle of a weekday, as much as I would like to.
I don't mind if ponies want to play without me, and I encourage them do so if they can, but I am answering DM's questions about my availability for combat encounters, which is only in the evenings on week days.

You’re pissed off that I made a post explaining I have work obligations preventing me from doing much today, I would like to have a combat encounter soon, and asking what player availability is like in the middle of the coming week. Okay. I don’t understand why you are angry, but we all understand that you are angry. That’s fine, but I am going to ask people about availability and to announce that I want combat soon.
I’ve said before that you having a shitty attitude is not appreciated. Thus is for fun. You don’t want fun, then fuck off.
I’ve said before that we all understand that you don’t like posey. Angry posting at every post that Posey makes is functionally spam and derailment. You have already been told to stop doing this. I am not going to relitigate this. You were also told not to make multiple posts in sequence that are a single line.

>it's an expected radio silence
You have been told dozens of times not to spam consecutive posts, especially near the millennial post. It is not a difficult thing to do.
Why do you keep doing this? Why do you have to malign everyone around you?
All you do is complain. Ever since this mission started, you have complained endlessly about everything. It's tiresome and counterproductive.
>>190011
GM, why do you even tolerate this asshole when he makes posts like this >>190012 ? He is openly disrespecting you, with an attitude that calls into question why he is even playing this game. You don't have to put up with this.
He has been a drain on the group ever since he entered the game, he complains endlessly, and he refuses to even follow basic instructions like "don't spam" or "compress your posts". He continuously condemns and insults both you and the group for not roleplaying to his tastes or not meeting his expectations for scheduling.
Why does he have to be part of this?
I know I'm not a perfect player myself, but at least I freaking try to repress my bad habits.

Where's Rosey Posey's resolve? She was insurmountable a minute ago, with all the dreads and undead things! Where'd the fire go??
What happened to the pages of sidequests you just posted about?
>>189958
Amber's one real ambition is to get into music school. It's never been looked at but I would hazard a guess that such schools are expensive and/or exclusive, which makes things hard for her considering she is penniless and wasted all her skill points on other skills.
There are plenty of sidequests for Amber to go on as she is eager for adventure. One possible idea is that she could explore the underground parts of Baltimare. Posey has been there.
Cavaliere would be taking on extra quests around the city. Resolving conflicts is his forte among his many skills, and anypony can hire him so long as the job does not break his code or good sense. He is lawful good and already suspicious of Posey, which would limit his interaction with her, but investigating and finding changeling spies is something he could do.

Not even in the right ballpark. I'm frustrated, dejected, and quite frankly nihilistic about any prospects of the game. I was perfectly content to forget about it entirely until you pinged me about it. And yes, like a child, I immediately went "Oh goody gumdrops, maybe something is going to happen!". Instead, I see the one player doing as they always do and trying to make themselves the pivotal/central character. And yes, like a child, I lost my shit. Sorry about the millennial post, it's been a crazy couple weeks and it completely slipped my mind.
>you don't like Posey
Not true in the slightest, and if you don't understand that I don't know what I can tell you. Whatever. Remember this the next time you think to ping me about the game.

I'm also free (for the next couple of days, no less). Let's do this!
NO you don't get to be rid of me, you're rid of me when GM allows me to actually play without making lame excused for months and then suddenly becoming available once I lose my shit.
If he thinks he's getting away with giving me the Scones/Stix treatment, well good luck.
But this is for the players: The traveler is vain; wanting to see it's self as a blessing and a benevolent redeeming/emanicapting entity; it's the infernal version of Communism (probably deliberately). Think of Xerxes in 300, that's how the traveler sees its self. Now go forth and guile

Okay, now I have a line of free weekends.
It’s definitely time for combat or other more serious engagements. What kind of availability do people have?
