Alright alright, I'll join too dammit

If we end up veering off course and making it difficult for you to host or for us to make progress like last time, just spell out for us exactly how you're running this and how you want us to do our parts and I'll try and catch on, and keep this going and fun.

Edit: For example, one question could be how much we make up compared to how much you make up. Pretty much all RPs in General go by the "don't write as if your actions are successful" rule to make things tense and also fair in pvp. Others, the host decides everything about the area they're in and what the enemies do. Clarifications like that will make it easier for people to play right.

I still want to get in on this. I'd have to read through the rules again. I'll try to again tonight when I'm done with my fucking cot detail.

I got Devour's shit, and he's editing it now.

Hey guys, keep your eyes peeled for new traits and stuff. Also, if you think it's absolutely necessary, you can inbox me a trait, and if I like it I'll balance it and throw it in there.

I just added the Waiver rule, which means that if your RP background and information is good enough, I'll let you slide with some shit that normally would be against the rules.

This is the first game in a long time that we've had a lot of intelligent members. This should be great.

Yeah absolutely. This is going to be amazing. If we can get Jutsu or Hewitt or Ashlander on-board too, it'll be like nothing else.

I've PMed you Cook.

I got you too, holmes.


Guys, don't be afraid to inbox me questions. Also, keep in mind that this is going to be a Google-doc heavy game. If you have any problems with viewing or editing google documents don't hesitate to tell me about it now. If you've noticed, the documents should have comments enabled. This is not an accident. I'm doing this so as you guys read the posts, you can comment on the margins with information you guys noticed when reading.

This might be irrelevant to many of you, but the dollar value of money in this game is equal to that of money in the united states. $1000 in-game equals $1,000 in real life, so that pricing items is just copy+pasting. for ammunition, I will literally jut copy-paste values from amazon.

Damn I'd love to be in this, but I'll be pretty busy over the next few weeks, so I doubt I'd find the time for it.

I just added a player list so we can keep track of who's posted/Pm'd and shit.

I'm very busy too, and I'd probably only update once a week.

Oh, motherfuck.

I just caught this, shit.

Goddamn it, guys.

Skill (1-5) +3 That means that every level of the skill is worth 3 as you level up. Why would I make level 1 the same as level 5? fuck I just caught this when writing the first chapter when I noticed dudes with Acute Senses 5

Trait (1-5): +5
This means that for every level, you add +5 to the value of that trait, so a higher level of the trait is more expensive. A level 3 trait means that you need levels 1 and 2, so you end up with +15 since you need to add +5 for level 1 and +5 for level 2.

Trait (1-5): +4/+6/+8/+10/+20
This means that for every level, the corresponding value is how much it’s worth. For a level 3 trait, it’s worth +18, since level 1 is +4, level 2 is +6 and level 3 is +8

fuck check your inboxes. Not everyone did this and I'll rectify this.

Nish, Exilement and Azure need to rework their stats. I'm sorry about not noticing this immediately, I thought you guys caught that from the OP.

EDIT: Aquila is currently working his stats.

btw Insanity and Cannibal are really debilitating you guise. Take it easy with those.

I did catch it. o-o All my stats are equally balanced out. I can even do the math for you if necessary.

Aww, I was about to be smug that I was the only one who caught how that worked without needing to be told :p
