Cuz every bread gets stale if left for a day or so, so I has to bake a new bread. Not complaining, but dammit. Damn the nuts.
Last tine the party acquired a Black Dragon, which some have misgivings about, especially considering the Bolshevik massacre that happened a few days before.
At the same time,... not much else is happening, but the previous thread got crashy (at least on my device) so here's a new one. On less related news Ebin is back in /sg/ and GRDF15 has shown up again, who GM hopes might at least be the enemy of mine enemy. I'm not holding my breath, but friendship is magic no? Meanwhile, back to the Game, where a bunch of inter-character dialogues are happening. Infernius and Thez had a moment, while Taylor seems primed for >rape of Torcuil and whoever else she decides is a suitable rape-target. Norfilly is still super-cute and not around (cuz it would taint her appeal), Sad Alex is still a Sad Alex statue, Yak Lee is still getting beaten about @ the Figt Club, and anyone else I haven't metioned is probably doing their thing; right now, in front of everyone.
If you're new, you picked the WRONG thread, but please stick around. Otherwise you know what it do, so lets continue before GM's head explodes?

>>29063Don't be. One of the underlying themes - and challenges - of the Game is of reconciling individual differences, yet working together, cuz what the hell else is there to do in this context. Infernius performed marvelously, while some others,....
I'm really sorry, guys.. but wtf?! I get it if he orders my character around while they're together; they're married, that makes sense. But he can't just tell me what to do through meta-gaming. I'm playing an ebil character: I could be killing peasant children en mass and >raping their bodies in front of their helpless parents; I could burn the forest and kill the last pixie in the world; I could poison my enemies wells and strategically infect their people with Slimey Doom; but no, I settle for corpse-eating instead. I give him a really hard time sometimes, but I still jump through hoops to maintain a proper, in-character relationship too, even when I don't want to. There have been a lot of things I've wanted to do, but haven't for the sake of alignment issues, but he still goes around policing everything I do, while only barely maintaining his Code Of Conduct. I'd be fine, so long as I could actually play her in character when they weren't together.. Why does he always feel he needs to be in control of everything? Wtf...?!
...I'm still pissed about my phone.
>>29065Can you rabbit for a moment?
>>29062I was asking Trump's and Tracy's faggots, but I'll take your permission
>this is adressing Tracy's and Trump's faggot>True things will be spoken>But I don't want either of you to leaveOkay, listen closely.
You two's relation ship is gonna fucking tear us apart.
You guys won't try, and just expect it to magically happen.
Trump, you want Tracy to change, but how would you like to change your character from its roots to appease another. She won't change completely, and I cant say I see why she should. Then it wouldn't be Tracy Cage as a character. Try and accept her flaws and work with that.
Tracy, you want Trump and thats really it, but you refuse to even change a single fucking bit to help with this. This may seem hypocritical, after just telling Trump to fuck off for asking you to change, but you can't just lock Trump and Tracy in a room and expect them to be the perfect couple without bits of change. I get your evil, but maybe settle down just a tiny bit? Like, be evil when you have the chance but don't go out of your way to do it when you know itll piss Trump off.
In the end, I guess; Just work this fucking shit out already. We want to have one session without relationship bitching.
TLDR: Neither of you are without blame, so fucking figure it out already
I WANT TO SAY AGAIN, I DON'T WANT EITHER OF YOU TO LEAVE. I JUST WANT YOU TO STOP FIGHTING >>29065For the 90th time, read the exchanges in the link and tell me you would form a different conclusion than "she's doing something evil with corpses." Especially when there are two more attempts at communication that are ignored
>>29068Fucking hell thats longer than expected.
Also forgot to add:
Trump should not assume complete power over anyone in the party, hes not the leader and will only build resentment.
>>29070she could have fighting the dragon.
>>29073No, that's not a plausible interpretation
In the meantime I'm tired as fuck. 10 minutes for counter arguments and closing statements and then I'm out
>>29075Because the exchange was about bodies and she knew he wouldn't be offended if she tried to fight the dragon, so she would not have "hung up"
>>29076Just so much typing, so much to say. I'd rather not
Secrets is never a solution
>>29079>>29080secrets are tactically sound.
Are you just trying to be contrarian to me?
>>29080Its not a matter of secrets or secrecy, its a matter of intimacy and understanding. I want this to work, for everyone, individually and as a group. To do that, I have to have a moment with everyone. I hope you won't fault me in that.
>>29084I'm one hundred percent fine with secrets in meta. It's what happens in game that breaks my heart
>>29087So,... Mr. Trump. Let me ask you, blatantly and without reservation. How do we make this work?
>>29089meh the original was better.
>>29088Just she can't cross the line to where she isn't desirable anymore...
>>29090This.
Interesting visuals though.
It's
really late, so I'll just lurk for a bit more in the background...
>>29092What happened and what did I miss?
>>29090Yes it was, but thats not the point I was making. The allusion is that there are newer individuals attempting to aspire to the same ideal.
>>29091She? Not desirable? I assume you mean Tracy, but I'm being more general. When we reach points like earlier, the game comes to a halt. I am not want to sacrifice players for the game NOR the game for players. I want players and characters to run free and 'play', even if 'play' means beating eachother about the face and torso, or setting eachother on fire, of even blowing eachother up. Squashing the funk - or indeed one another's face (or eating) is readily allowed - but trying to dictate behavior is not. Leaving one another strung up to suffocate or die tormented is not. I know that's an odd distinction to draw, and I invite you to discuss it candidly if you prefer. I do want to avoid further friction.
>>29093Thez raped Tracy, don't worry
I'll just say I've lost, my heart is broken, and I will retreat
I'll see how long I am gone
>>29095What have you lost? Will you re-emerge? Is there some degree or measure I can help?
I was kidding about raping Tracy, that was a poorly timed joke.
Trump is a cornerstone of the game as it is now, if not the keystone. It wouldn't be the same without any player/character, most explicitly you and Trump. I know and appreciate that its a labor of effort and time, and perhaps it is a luxury that can no longer be afforded. I know only the tiniest bit of your circumstance (with good reason), and I won't begrudge you if you choose to stop for that or any other reason. <more>
>>29096GM, you know that Infernius's faggot and I are like legit and honest to God in love with our respective waifus, right?
Your participation has taught me a great deal about myself. When the Game began (on Mlpol) I approached it from a strictly D&D standpoint, where the GM is law and the players have minimal position to assuage the GM based on context and established rules. Trump has exceeded every expectation or preconception of what a player is capable. I've given him writ large simply because he as a character never ceases to amaze me (sometimes angrily) with his ingenuity and creativity. I've never - NEVER - seen a character world-build to the degree he has, with apparent (if it was difficult, it was done with fluidity and finesse) ease.
<more>
>>29098If you mean >rape, no not really. It was a poorly timed joke, and Tracy's faggot (not to mention chat-logs) will confirm nothing of the sort occurred. It was an attempt at levity that I realized was ill placed as soon as I posted it.
>>29099I knew that of Infernius, as his faggot and Thez' faggot (not to mention the characters themselves) had a discussion earlier. It was awkward as fuck, with plenty of feels and embarrasing vulnerability that cannot be faked. Blah blah (blah blah is the "new" no homo BTW) I wasn't sure of how Trump felt towards his waifu, but I recognize the sentiment when you phrase it that way. Blah blah, I get you, and I appreciate your position, better now than I did a few minutes ago.
If you need time, please take it. If you need support I'll offer it (I'm far more tenacious than is readily known ^_~). I don't want anyone to feel unwelcome, and I'll literally and figuratively bend over backward (on video if needs be Xp) to those ends.
But, that also means allowing everyone their place and position. Tracy - as a character - is pregnant with Trump's baby, which I initially thought would be a unifying element, but I can see now that my interpretation was,... premature. Tracy is not the sort of character who can be dictated to, and Trump is not the sort of character that can allow the mother of his progeny to engage in wanton/frivolous behavior. There is no criticism in that observation, and indeed it is an apt position.
As I said to Tracy/faggot a short while ago, in crafting the Game as it appears, I broke a number of "Don't" rules, some deliberately and some unknowingly. I have been far more permissive in some aspects, and not permissive enough in others, with the intention of developing a game that intentionally pushed the envelope of /tg/. I've made many mistakes in that effort, and I will make plenty more. Having said, I am proud - literally so - of the experiences I have shared and participated in over the last couple months. Yes, its been a couple months now. If it ends, or goes on hiatus indefinitely, or whatever the case, I will never forget what has happened. I'll probably never meet any of you face to face and that's okay I guess, but no one is replaceable, or expendable. I can't even begin to express how significant you have become, even if separated by Mlpol. No, not separated, but joined by Mlpol.
I can't even begin (I could, but its a blogpost I'll spare you of) to describe what has happend to and with me because of you and everyone else. So, take all the time you need. Take a week, a month, a year, and I'll still be here waiting to hear from you. Its too late for me to do anything else.
Blah blah, when you're ready, just post something.
When you do though, don't forget that we're a bunch of rebellious shit-posters. Dictating behavior doesn't really fly. Xp
i always say conflict brings us closer together.
Just... My waifu just have some minimal degree of purity. Anything other than Anthrophagy, please
>>29107Tracy,... pure,... thats a tall order you must realize. In all fairness however, I will agree that it is quite possible that Tracy could evolve beyond her origins - in that she's no longer forced to rigidly and edgily survive literally by the blade and nothing else - but that is a matter to be determined by her faggot. Its not an unreasonable request, but its not something she can expect to immediately adopt with perfect adherence. In the same sense that Thez doesn't need to eat faces anymore but still does (but she's getting better about it), the same applies to Tracy and cannibalism/edge/>rape/'other' behaviors.
I'm not trying to interject myself, but I get the impression that demands will avail nothing, while requests and appeals might garner consideration and contemplation, from which evolution/development is possible. Its just an idea.
>>29108I don't know, cannibalism/eating of human flesh is just a trigger for me, sort of in the same way abortion is for him. And think about it, would you really want to kiss a mouth that has eaten human flesh?
>>29109it doesn't bother infernuis.
>>29110And abortion doesn't bother me. But here we are
>>29111i know your not i was stating it though.
>>29113Why? Are you just trying to undermine me?
>>29114bro im not hostile to you. i consider you a friend.
>>29115So why have you been undermining me the whole night?
>>29116dude i honestly have no clue what your talking about.
>>29078>>29063>>29057i see you neglect these.
>>29109If it was cooked right,... sorry but well done is haram in my book
>>29116Dont mistake criticism for undermining. There are many elements of Trumps position that I am want to criticize, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate
you.
Jokes aside (sorry, I can't help it sometimes) I can't emphasize how much I want this to work out for everyone.
Let me know what I can do, and I'll do it. I've let you in so far, so there's no going back for me. I'll be around, maybe not always, but not far behind.
[1d100 = 98]
Rolling for eggs, cuz why not?
>>29123>SO. FUCKING. CLOSE.Tracy isn't there though, so that's a good thing.For the sake of peace, just assume she went back to the tower. She can make friends with Killy some other day...
>>29116>underminingCome on, man...
You know, I really do try hard to make this game fun for everyone, even you; especially you for that matter, despite how I sometimes give you a hard time. I keep getting the feeling like your taking this game slightly too personally in the sense that you feel like it's some kind of power struggle. It's
NOT a PvP game, and
NOBODY has
ever been playing "against you".
I get if the corpse-eating thing is a trigger, but know that I still entered this game wanting to do edgy/ebil stuff too. I made her discreet because she want the best for her family, but I still want to play her as the crude, edgy, monstrous Tracy Cage when she's alone. The thing is, I really loathe being told what to do; I have her do mostly whatever her husband tells her to when they're together, but I really don't like being pushed around through meta-gaming. Is it really that hard to understand? She's going to be as edgy as she can when she has the chance to, but don't mix up meta knowledge with character knowledge.
I can lay-off the corpse-eating, but I'm not just going to do everything you tell me to.
>>29125I'm going to try and ease into this next bit, but please bear with me.
What if I told you that there is an existential impetus that
wants you to play as an edgy, >rapey, otherwise ebil and uncontrollable psycho? What if there is more than personal bias, psychology, and circumstantial etymology that leads him to portray Trump as he does so?
>>29125>>29124>I can lay-off the corpse-eating, but I'm not just going to do everything you tell me to.Offer accepted, and thank you
it's not just any corpse eating, it's eating human flesh. That's just too abominableTrumpaladin and Tay fail a ride check, and Fae protects him as they return to the tower. When there, Trumpaladin looks into the process for rolling or stamping brass for cartridge cases
Lenos walks in from the vault, bits of cobweb streaming from his clothes.
"Why was there a whole fucking spider's nest in the vault, and why does the gold smell like a swamp?"
>>29127>cummunists>humanSure, whatever. But I might make some eexceptions for some humanoids. She aready ate the fire giants bodies and Kefka's legs after all.
>>29129>eating kefka's legsI don't recall that happening. I think there was an attempt on some limb but it was smacked away
>29128Is this a different treasure, because the one brought back from the swamp was specified to be placed very near Trumpaladin and Tracy
>>29131I'm improvising, I want to bring Lenos back into the mix, but him going into an all-caps rage
>>29131Tracy has possession of Kefka's entire body, minus the head, face, wings, and blood. I said earlier that she ate his legs, and made his hands into a Mage Hand and a Hand of Glory. The deal was that she would steal things off of the boss's person, so long as the bodies were hers.
>near Trumpaladin and TracyTrumpaladin is in Krenshall, and there's no room in the stables for a pile of gold. Either way, Lenos was going to come out looking for more gold at
some point...
>>29132Well that's easy, I would need to go see Lenos to ask about brass metal casting, supplies of sulfur, and lead casting
>>29135I thought you were flying to Krenshal to talk to the gnomes?
>>29133>needs to make a deal making her exclusive loot who're of s particular type of loot, just so she want loot whore all of the rest of the lootGo fuck yourself
>Trumpaladin is in KrenshallNo goddamn it! I never said he was going there. Never. It was talked about, but it never happened. He surveyed Durpistan, then returned to the tower
>>29137>Go fuck yourselfWtf?! I literally said she wouldn't snatch stuff off of the boss's swag, as long as she could take their corpses. Wtf do you want corpses for?
>>29134So I'm gathering everyone is pretty much at the tower, unless otherwise specified.
Lenos continues "And when did we get these? I don't recall having a Ring of Swimming, or a Wand of False Life, and I DEFINITELY don't remember having a Pale Blue Rhomboid Ion Stone,...."
>>29139>Wand of False Life,>Pale Blue Rhomboid Ion StoneFug.. that's some sweet loot...
>everyone is pretty much at the towerIsn't Torc still taking his gf to the beach?
>>29132>all-caps rageThis could get interesting...
*polishes eggs, pretending not to hear the ranting brownie on the other side of the tower*
>>29140Oh right, they're @ or near-abouts Durpistan. Sorry, I got kinda silly last night.
>lootThats what the dice said (excluding a roll for a scroll, cuz that would never survive being in a swamp)
There's also a shit-load of coin. (about 14000 pieces of differing types) several sizeable stones, and a couple pieces of precious art.
>>29140>Isn't Torc still taking his gf to the beach?Kek, he's doing something with her I know that
>>29139"Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! What do those do?"
>>29144False Life grants 1d10+10 temporary hp per use
Swimming grants +10 competence to swimming checks and actions
Ion stone grants +2 to Strength (and it orbits the character's head when in use)
>>29145I was actually going to ask torc to make me one of those wands..
Hey, In Tracy's nightmare form, can she Command other Ebil outsiders/fiends with the Paladin's Mount ability?
>>29145>I may finally be able to get in water and not drown immediatelyYay!
*takes items*
Answer to Lenos
"These were the fruits of the expedition to the troll village yesterday. An amiable enough black dragon agreed to exchange these for relocation to an environment with more food"
>>29146Probably
>>29148"Female young adult Black Dragon. Her name is Kiynen. That meme wizard Torcuil fellow has been leading her. At this moment I believe she is in Durpistan, than city to the south, though they could be on the way to the sea"
>>29149"A
female? And she's at Durpistan? You mean with the commies? I didn't know they were still around! I gotta go get me some!" and by that, he means both killin' and sex.
"Well, if you'll excuse me," he wanders up to the dais to enact a teleportation spell.
>>29151"The Durpistanis were all murdered a couple nights ago"
>>29151"Oh no. They're definitely not around anymore... Their bodies are lining the streets. I'm bummed I missed the party too..."
>>29152>>29153"Aww,... I haven't gotten to do a good flame-strike in ages. Oh well. I gotta meet this Kiynen."
Casts Greater Teleport
>>29151"What's the evidence they are Communists anyways? The only evidence I've heard of is a single line in an obsolete atlas"
>>29155Alright then
>>29153>>29154*Looks at pony, unsure of emotion*
>>29156>he's gone".... You want to revive one and ask some questions?"
*offers commie skull*
>>29156>before teleporting"Because that's how they do it. Durpistan is a labor-camp city where the most worthless people from the world are sent to do
something useful for once in their miserable lives, but mostly they spend their time leaching off and stealing from one another. Oh they call it "wealth redistribution", but its stealing. The whole city is separated into little cliques structured around a select group of the most brutal and predatory individuals, who take it in turn to take whatever they can get their hands on from the rest of the people there."
>>29158"Uh... I think
>>29159 answers it, but maybe it's worth seeing if they could make useful slaves?"
>>29160>slavery fine>corpse-eating not okay at allSure...
"Ask whatever you want. I'm going to be in the crafting area."
*leaves to work on goods*
>>29160>useful slavesDidn't he just clarify that they weren't useful even as slaves?
>>29161"You want to help... uh, okay then"
>>29162Give them the right task master
>>29163I doubt they'll make good laborers at all (you saw the mine), but ask about the canons.
>>29164>>29164"Uh... you don't want to ask questions or stop a rampaging hysterical communist or anything? I mean, I can bring in Slovenia, since if anyone can whip them into shape it's probably her, but still"
*refills hot water-bottles, and fluffs blankets*
Since the eggs aren't hatching for a while, I'm going to have Tracy go to Krenshal. I want to explore the map, and maybe find an NPC that could help her speed-up crafting.
>>29167Just not my thing. I'd rather go exploring.>>29168Uh, okay then, go to Krenshall together?
*Trumpaladin takes the three items, and collects a valuable painting in a bag, to carry with him*
