Theatre of the Absurd - playwrights-corner

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:04 PM

@Kurukuru yo i made a channel

i wanted to talk about the central mechanic/idea for this

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:09 PM

oh yoo

aight

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:10 PM

ive talked about it before but

its theatre game cause its set on a stage

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:11 PM

Are you thinking about, like, audience mechanics?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:11 PM

i didnt think of those but. of course

that makes perfect sense

ok so: -the characters have a shared objective in addition to their usual ones, somewhere along the lines of "create and perform a play that interests the GMs" -theres a pregame phase or two where the characters get to plan out their play, creating props, stages and roles, all of which have an influence on the play as well as able to be used in the wider game -during the game, the stage can be accessed and seen from anywhere. when players go on the stage, theyre encouraged to act out... a character within a character? not a different actual character, but the character they picked has to act differently than usual to fit the role they chose -scenes acted out in the play create effects that transfer across to the wider game

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:15 PM

OOOOOH

THAT LAST BULLET POINT THO

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:15 PM

hehe

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:15 PM

How, like, open are we gonna be about that?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:16 PM

dont say it upfront just wait for the first person to perform

then

boom

see if they notice what happens or not

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:16 PM

Because on one hand, we don't wanna just give everything away immediately in a wall of text But on the other hand, we don't wanna just catbox it and say "figure it out yourself" (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:16 PM

we should make it obvious enough through rollovers cause if people can see the play at every moment, and they can see their individual rollover someones gonna notice a connection

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:17 PM

Okay, that makes sense.

That definitely sounds intuitive enough

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:17 PM

what do u think about like

the concept of the shared objective, preplan, and stage as a whole

i wanted to run it by you immediately cause

its quite a big departure from a usual game

anniversary and wizard merged into one, essentially

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:20 PM

Stage is a super cool idea, I 100% like that. I'm not quite sure to what degree the acting would mesh with normal gameplay? Even if the character selections, I'm not sure being forced to spend a full phase doing semi-unrelated stuff would flow too well.

My idea would be maybe you just take out forcing the acting, and just make it so events that happen on the stage correspond to the rest of the map.

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:22 PM

i suppose that works equally as well

hm

i do like the concept of players creating their own roles and props and things, though

even if it isnt forced (edited)

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:22 PM

Having a central objective works for that honestly

I feel like the current objective has more than enough going towards players setting things up and making a big play

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:24 PM

oh like

just drop the pregame stuff?

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:25 PM

Maybe not all of it? But multiple phases with the purpose of setting up the play kinda seems like it'd just be defining the game from the very start

What if we do, like, 1-2 pregame phases where players can coordinate

But not do anything to create the play

Since I feel like

If making and preforming the play is gonna be big

It doesn't really make too much sense to slap like 50% of in into a few pregame phases?

Actually, idea:

What if players can request one thing

And it can be, like, a prop or a special item

And so they're naturally encouraged to coordinate with others in what props they get

But there's also the possibility of getting something for yourself/your objective without being mechanically punished if you wanna be a lone wolf (edited)

does any of that make sense or work with your vision?

Kurukuru

What if we do, like, 1-2 pregame phases where players can coordinate

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:29 PM

oooh what if like we have one pregame phase where. the players are in the audience and the GMs/NPCs put on our own little play to give inspiration then at the end we explain the central objective and let them make requests

Nikola Orsinov

oooh what if like we have one pregame phase where. the players are in the audience and the GMs/NPCs put on our own little play to give inspiration then at the end we explain the central objective and let them make requests

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:30 PM

cool but like

what would the players do

in the audience

because just being put in a timeout to watch the gms rp does NOT sound like a very engaging experience lmfao

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:30 PM

oh that's. a good point. they wouldn't have anything to argue over

yeah

hm. basically I wanted to capture like

the creative energy of anniversarys pregame

let the players argue over who gets what role

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:31 PM

Oooh yeah I really like that

That was absolutely a highlight and if we can manage that

that'd just be spectacular

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:32 PM

cause. I think that's what other pregames have missed the idea of setting up personal stakes, claiming roles in the game through RP

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:32 PM

YEAH

100%

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:32 PM

WAIT WHAT IF

we frame the pregame as auditions

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:33 PM

OOOOOOOH

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

THATS

LITERALLY

EXACTLY THE RIGHT ENERGY

Because you've got that

uh gonna invent a phrase here

that same cooperative dissonance™️ that anniversary had

Where the players are mechanically encouraged to work together

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:34 PM

YEAH

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:35 PM

But at the same time, they're competing for a better position or stance

GOD THATS JUST PERFECT

I mean ME THATS JUST PERFECT

ehe

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:35 PM

bwhaha

jod that's just perfect

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:37 PM

LOL

ok so for the auditions

The goal is to both encourage emergent gameplay and create competition/scarcity

What if we have like 1 or 2 director roles that offer a massive roll bonus to players in a play they direct (being inherently a very powerful/sought-after role but one that requires cooperation) A rare-ish role that can maybe create props (serving as something that can be utilized for someone on their own, OR equally effectively for a group) A generic/default actor role that gives mediocre bonuses The ability to REQUEST a role that will be intentionally weaker than other roles, but more suited to a specific niche or task (because woo emergent gameplay?) (maybe an option for something like an ability upgrade?)

And then we do something to repeat that process or have means for a character to plead to the gmnpcs to be recast or gain an additionally role

So nobody gets absolutely screwed out of something that they wanted/needed

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:51 PM

I was thinking that we leave it up to the players to determine what roles they want buuuut tried that strategy in cowritten!!! didn't work out sometimes it's best to actually plan stuff out huh

So yeah I like this list

One suggestion is

Merge the default actor with the ability to request a role

effectively giving anyone who doesn't get a more powerful role the ability to specialise their acting style

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 10:53 PM

OH THATS ACTUALLY WAY SMARTER YEAH

So actor is the default but with the most potential to specialize

that works great without being too complex at all

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 10:59 PM

wondering about something like a set designer role

being able to change environments

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 11:00 PM

OOOOH YEA

That's kinda what I was imagining for the role that creates props? But that's once again a way better implementation lol

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 11:02 PM

I think both are good! like. in objective mechanics terms, there's a difference between items and areadescs

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 11:02 PM

That's fair. I'd just be worried that if both exist, one would kinda just become a better version of the other?

Because items and area descriptions are pretty directly related

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 11:04 PM

ooh,, what if like

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 11:04 PM

NO STOP

I HAVE AN IDEA

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 11:04 PM

WOW

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 11:04 PM

AND I DONT WANT TO DO THE THING

WHERE I SAY THE SAME THING AS YOU BUT LIKE 2 SECONDS LATER

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 11:05 PM

Kskvksfkskv

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 11:06 PM

I guess the one implementation would be to have the two have different means of accomplishing what they want? Like the item guy can maybe, say request "something to fulfil x purpose" while the set designer maybe can make more direct changes?

Or vice versa

now you may speak

if this is different from what I just said then I am going to feel the omega stupid

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 11:07 PM

My thoughts were along similar lines? ish? the prop designer puts great care in, they make items specifically designed to purpose whereas the set designer makes huge sweeping changes. overhauls the stage to a different theme, but what is actually contained within isn't entire up to their discretion

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 11:08 PM

YES

I

DID IT

SOUL READ

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 11:08 PM

fkrkgkegieig

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 11:08 PM

lilith why are we actually spiritually and mentally linked

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 11:10 PM

tragic accident at the spectakordian factory

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 11:11 PM

I swear

You're gonna say like "dang my back hurts" and I'm gonna wake up with a back cramp the next morning

Nikola Orsinov 09-Jan-22 11:12 PM

LMAO

we're coming dangerously close. if we run a third game together we'll just end up Steven universe fusing or something

Kurukuru 09-Jan-22 11:13 PM

BWAHAHAHAHA

IM

WHEEZING

LMFAO

Kurukuru 10-Jan-22 02:01 AM

WAIT

HOLY CRAP

I HAVE

THE PERFECT CHARACTER FOR THIS GAME

Kurukuru 10-Jan-22 02:15 AM

man I just realized I said that and entirely forgot to finish what I was talking about

uh

anyway kurukuru (funny lil fella I played in uuuh I forget the name but the space music game)

Nikola Orsinov 10-Jan-22 09:24 AM

OH YEAH LOVE THAT GUY

Nikola Orsinov 10-Feb-22 06:36 PM

@Amalgam hi

Amalgam 10-Feb-22 06:37 PM

oh hello there

Amalgam 20-Feb-22 03:41 PM

theatre game becomes circus game

Nikola Orsinov 20-Feb-22 03:51 PM

honk

Kurukuru 20-Feb-22 04:22 PM

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 05:40 AM

what would y'all think about offering to do theatre game next. would you be available?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 12:04 PM

damn I've just realised we've lost our npc

Nikola Orsinov

what would y'all think about offering to do theatre game next. would you be available?

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 04:54 PM

Yeah, That'd work for me.

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 04:55 PM

hell yeah

im not sure about the current situation cause

pablo also wants to host?

but we can talk to him about it

check the future room to see discussion so far (edited)

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 04:59 PM

Only concern would be that I'm gonna be on a semi vacation thingy in ~2 weeks, so I wouldn't be the most consistently available. Idk what it would look like in terms of timing, but it'd def be unpredictable?

This would be a long game, right?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 05:00 PM

yeah

if youll be busy, we can always stick to the original plan and host later this year

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 05:01 PM

Alright, then yeah it's definitely something to keep in mind.

I can't say how busy I'd be, but it'd def be more than less

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 05:04 PM

honestly its your call here

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 05:04 PM

It'd only last for like 2 and a half days, actually

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 05:05 PM

i have a good bit of free time?

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 05:05 PM

So thinking about it logistically

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 05:05 PM

like out of everything this year this is my Least Busy time

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 05:05 PM

If you can handle the first like 3 phases

Then I'll be available for the rest

So yeah I think that would work out? I'd just not at all be dependable for the earlier few phases, if that's good with you.

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 05:06 PM

yeah, that should be fine!

1

as long as youre available through the actual design process

actually running the first few phases is probably the easiest part

no insane actions yet

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 06:54 PM

i wanna iron out a few details. i wasnt expecting signups to open right away haha

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:01 PM

yeah lol

this happened fast

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:01 PM

yeah, i was under the impression wed have a weeks break

i mean

we might do?

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:02 PM

huh?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:02 PM

yeah

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:02 PM

wdym we might do

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:02 PM

weeks break for the turbo

i meant i wasnt sure whether we were opening signups NOW like cath suggested, or opening once periodic ended

but it seems that the latter would be best

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:04 PM

Yeah I'd agree. I think we can work with doing it now, but arter periodic ends would be ideal I'd say

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:04 PM

yeah

we can use this week to solidify criteria and the pregame + roles stuff

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:05 PM

exactly.

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:06 PM

in other news, Squazz asked if she could NPC

do we want to get an npc or two in now, to help with design?

im.

not sure what the amal situation is

but i dont think hes coming back in time for this

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:07 PM

Alright. Do we have an idea how many npcs we want?

Nikola Orsinov

do we want to get an npc or two in now, to help with design?

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:07 PM

I mean I don't see why not tbh

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:07 PM

yeah, its always good to have a full design chat!

Kurukuru

Alright. Do we have an idea how many npcs we want?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:07 PM

two is usually a good base amount?

we can get more in if player count goes huge once signups open

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:09 PM

I was thinking maybe for every director role, we also have a sorta organizer npc or smth

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:09 PM

OOH thats a good idea

oh i also had an idea for a new role!

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:10 PM

So that way everyone has a sorta tie-in to both the ingame higher-ups, and a mechanical tie-in to coordinating with the gms

Nikola Orsinov

oh i also had an idea for a new role!

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:10 PM

ooh, shoot

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:11 PM

so if were going with a central stage that the play mechanics focus on

then

a cameraman could livestream an area, temporarily turning it into a second stage

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:12 PM

OOOOOH

YES

Love that idea

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:13 PM

so we have -director -prop maker -stagehand -cameraman -actor (which then specialises)

pulled from our earlier discussion

and yeah with the idea for organizers

we could split up the pregame into groups, have each group choose their specific roles so we end up with 2-3 of each major role and the rest be actors

not groups like pirate game tho lmao. no ties for the rest of the game

Kurukuru

So that way everyone has a sorta tie-in to both the ingame higher-ups, and a mechanical tie-in to coordinating with the gms

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:15 PM

yeah, i really like this.

in-universe communication between players and gms worked really well in pandae

so the more of that the better

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:15 PM

Probably worthwhile to start pinning things btw

Original message was deleted or could not be loaded.

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:15 PM

Pinned a message.

oh true

you should be able to pin things too?

im not sure what ive done with the roles since pandae

WAIT you arent an admin any more cause.

theres a dev chat for timeloop

can i make you admin and just kindly ask you not to look in there

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:19 PM

cant somehow

Nikola Orsinov

can i make you admin and just kindly ask you not to look in there

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:19 PM

yea!

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:20 PM

ok u should be able to now (edited)

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:20 PM

I assume lucky room is the no-no channel?

Oh wait

it's #we-loopin

lmao

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:20 PM

yeah lol

lucky room is uhh

an old design channel for what later turned into timeloop

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:20 PM

Ok so no lookin in there either?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:21 PM

dont mind if you look in there. its just stuff i at one point had planned for Lore but mostly scrapped

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:21 PM

ah alright

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:22 PM

cool cool

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:28 PM

Roles:

1-3 directors(?): Offers giant roll bonuses to players in a play they direct. Maybe has other synnergies with other roles? 1-3 organizers: NPCS that are assigned to a director's team, and can communicate with the hosts/gms. A few prop designers: Can create *specific* items to fit a specified purpose A few set designers: Can make large-scale area changes, but struggles with specifics. A few cameramen: Can "film" areas to broadcast them to specific audiences. A bunch of generic actors that get generic bonuses, but can select one talent, role, or niche to specialize in

Original message was deleted or could not be loaded.

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:28 PM

Pinned a message.

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:31 PM

sounds good!

the other aspect is

what are we doing with the stage itself

the key idea is the plays causing changes to the rest of the world

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:32 PM

My big thought on the stage

is how do we balance small-scale things with large scale things

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:32 PM

how do you mean?

@Elle Woods

this is the design channel

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:34 PM

As I see it, the ideal situation is you have enough weight to it that some one guy could mess things up or make a notable impact by going on the stage, but at the same time, a team who organized their play would be able to feel rewarded for their effort

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:35 PM

OOH right

maybe theres like

ok so

the players arent told that the play will affect the world at first

thats up to them to find out

so what if, as they figure it out

we have them learn how to channel it specifically into what they want

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:36 PM

OOOH YEAH

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:36 PM

so if someone with full knowledge goes on, they can unleash all their abilities and channel it properly and make an impact

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:36 PM

LOVE THAT

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:37 PM

but if a whole team goes on, theyll all be channelling it, so itll be harder to coordinate but a greater payoff

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:37 PM

My idea would be more people/setup = more control over how exactly everything changes

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:37 PM

oooh so

the quantity of the payoff is determined by how good the individual acting is

but the control is determined by the amount of work put in and the coordination

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:38 PM

Yeah!

So one guy can absolutely do something big

But one team can really plan and set up for doing something massive

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:39 PM

allowing players with more specific objectives to team up and work together to achieve their goals, but also more chaotic rogue individuals to still spread chaos on their own

i really like this

oh one question i had was.

do we want to push the stage aspect, as in make it a global objective to "put on a play worthy of entertaining the GMs"

or do we want to just encourage it more naturally through design

im leaning towards the latter so it can be sorta like a pandae war situation

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:41 PM

I've honestly never been a huge fan of central objectives, so I'd honestly push more towards the latter

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:41 PM

hi!

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:41 PM

WE DID IT AGAIN

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:41 PM

heya em!

this is probably a very confusing convo to walk in on (edited)

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:41 PM

'ello

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:42 PM

HEH I will quickly read up and then admit to being extremely confused

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:42 PM

theres not much to read up on actually

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:46 PM

I am suitably confused but it sounds really cool! It's such a good concept

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 07:46 PM

But yeah I'd say we:

hint towards the stage being more than it seems Have the gmnpcs or organizers really push people to put on a show and then mechanically push towards the stage as something important

So that way the stage kinda just flows naturally into the game, instead for being a "hey do THIS NOW"

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:47 PM

obviously the pregame section will heavily imply that its an important feature

but the players are free to ignore it if they want to

and i know some people will

speaking of gmnpcs

i know you wanted kurukuru

but im not sure who to be myself

i was considering aradia cause my original concept for an area was "theatre at the end of time", like the restaurant at the end of the universe from hitchhikers guide

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:49 PM

she is best troll too tbf

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:50 PM

TRUE GOOD TAKE

i played her in a game like

a year ago now

wow how time flies

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:50 PM

objective passes the time extra quickly tho

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:50 PM

it really do

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:51 PM

so as gmnpc, you don't have to adhere to the criteria? (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:51 PM

yeah lol. we can do what we want

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:51 PM

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:51 PM

well usually have an idea of who we want the other NPCs to be?

but thats moreso

"you should be this type of character cause we need them"

rather than

you should be mario NOW

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:52 PM

HEH

ok that makes sense

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:52 PM

unless a character submits an objective thats like "kill this specific person"

but wed probably get an alt in to do that

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:52 PM

ok rad

because i'm sure ur thinking rn

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:53 PM

i kind of wanted to bring an alt in to play luci (the gmnpc i played in pandaemonium, the last game that me and ori hosted), but thats mostly a self-indulgent reference thing rather than any gameplay functions

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:54 PM

'em you famously and quotably said you would play as matpat in theatre game,' but dont worry because matpat can be in soap opera game

Nikola Orsinov

i kind of wanted to bring an alt in to play luci (the gmnpc i played in pandaemonium, the last game that me and ori hosted), but thats mostly a self-indulgent reference thing rather than any gameplay functions

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:54 PM

that would be fun tho

Elle Woods

'em you famously and quotably said you would play as matpat in theatre game,' but dont worry because matpat can be in soap opera game

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:54 PM

NOOO

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:55 PM

no jk

this is a good criteria tho

What other big points do you have other than the play?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:56 PM

oh yeah so i can pin it

the actual critera is: a character who is either known for being an actor or is highly charismatic

Original message was deleted or could not be loaded.

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:56 PM

Pinned a message.

Elle Woods

What other big points do you have other than the play?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:57 PM

pregame phase like pirate game had to determine roles, played like an audition

theres also

the experimental health mechanic

that we talked about a while ago

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 07:58 PM

Hehe whats that?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 07:58 PM

oh wait we didnt put it in this channel

basically instead of using the standard health mechanics

we'll use more specific and personalised stuff

so we encourage the players to put in their actions, instead of "attack mario", put "cut marios arm off with my sword" or something along those lines

then the injuries you get become visible on your character and confer certain disadvantages (or perhaps advantages)

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 08:01 PM

Omg why

Why did I think you meant a mechanic (character) who specialises in heath

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 08:02 PM

LMAO

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 08:02 PM

But that sounds interesting

So if people aren't in teams throughput the game what impact will roles have in practice?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 08:08 PM

theyll encourage people to form their own relationships and figure out stuff regarding the stage

the specialised roles cant do much on their own without a few actors

so theyll form groups to tackle stuff

or theyll lead to more interesting scenarios

say, a rogue cameraman points their camera at an unsuspecting area and forces the stage mechanics to apply there

(you didnt play it but) similar to how roles worked in anniversary

Elle Woods 27-Feb-22 08:26 PM

that sounds great

I wonder how many ppl will go charasmatic, not actor (edited)

when I think charismatic I immediately think of owen wilson and jeff goldblum who are actors anyway, but i feel like there's the other definition of charismatic where it requires you to be a little bit of an arsehole and with that way of looking at it maybe ppl will go for politicians or similar (edited)

Kurukuru 27-Feb-22 10:25 PM

oh, heads up. I might be unavailable for rollovers on the 18th as well. Sorry again for the iffy schedule.

But I do believe that should be all the complications I'll have, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Nikola Orsinov 27-Feb-22 10:28 PM

thats fine!

Nikola Orsinov 28-Feb-22 08:36 PM

I've just received a comment whilst chatting about the game

do you think we should expand the criteria to include "characters from plays"?

Nikola Orsinov 28-Feb-22 11:06 PM

@Kurukuru

Kurukuru 28-Feb-22 11:08 PM

sorry, just got slammed with 2 consecutive tests. I'd be a bit concerned with how well they'd likely fit with the rest of the cast?

Nikola Orsinov 28-Feb-22 11:09 PM

that's true

On the flip side tho

I feel like our current setup might have too little diversity?

"actor" is quite a small role, and "charismatic" lends itself to one type of character (edited)

Kurukuru 28-Feb-22 11:19 PM

That's true. What if we made it like a checklist or something?

Nikola Orsinov 28-Feb-22 11:22 PM

how do you mean?

OH LIKE

"you must have two of these three properties"?

Kurukuru 28-Feb-22 11:24 PM

Like, they need 2 out of - is an actor or experienced with deception - Is charismatic - Participated in a play or something eith theatrical theming - experienced with technical setup or planning

wait did that just send now

I open discord back up and it looks like it just now sent

Nikola Orsinov 28-Feb-22 11:26 PM

OH I like this

I'm not sure about the last point tho

Kurukuru 28-Feb-22 11:29 PM

I figured more mastermind-type characters would be p fitting for the game? But yeah it was mostly on there b/c I think more than 3 points are needed for a system like that

Nikola Orsinov 28-Feb-22 11:33 PM

-actor -conman -charisma -character in play -stagehand

I wonder if we could simplify this somehow into one open criteria

"your character must know the stage intimately - whether that's from acting or working on it, living their life on it without knowing, or being an expert in constructing an act in their interactions with others"

Kurukuru 01-Mar-22 01:11 AM

ooh yeah, that could work. I'd just maybe want to clarify that "the stage" could be more metaphorical, if we want more deceptive or charismatic characters?

Nikola Orsinov 01-Mar-22 07:30 AM

yeah I was trying to get at that but I didn't know how to phrase it

Nikola Orsinov 01-Mar-22 08:40 PM

brine just told me their character

they are playing

nyarlathotep disguised as max stirner

Kurukuru 01-Mar-22 09:31 PM

PFFFF

WH

Nikola Orsinov 03-Mar-22 10:35 PM

do we wanna try and solidify the criteria and our ideas on the setting and stuff?

Signups open on Sunday I think

Kurukuru 03-Mar-22 10:42 PM

Yeaah, that'd probably be a good idea, lol

Nikola Orsinov 03-Mar-22 10:44 PM

I really wanna get the criteria to be. actually understandable

Kurukuru 03-Mar-22 10:45 PM

Going off of your idea, how about something like "your character must be notably experienced with acting - whether that's from putting on or or being part of a performance, manipulating or deceiving others, or any other means of learning" (edited)

I feel like that kinda captures the same criteria pretty effectively?

Nikola Orsinov 03-Mar-22 10:46 PM

oh that's a really good way of putting it lol

change just deceiving to "manipulating or deceiving" cause I think that fits the charismatic part too

Kurukuru 03-Mar-22 10:47 PM

ooh good call

Nikola Orsinov 03-Mar-22 10:47 PM

oh we should also point out that

characters from plays are allowed

Kurukuru 03-Mar-22 10:51 PM

I tried to word it to kinda fit that idea?

Idk, how would you say it? (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 03-Mar-22 10:51 PM

OH I missed that bit sfkskfjs

that works. we can always clarify it if ppl are confused

Kurukuru 03-Mar-22 10:52 PM

Nikola Orsinov 03-Mar-22 10:55 PM

next up is

what sorta vibe are we going for. what characters do we wanna play, how do we wanna announce it

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:15 PM

permission to share the current criteria with winter? She's asking so she knows in advance whether or not she wants to join.

Nikola Orsinov

what sorta vibe are we going for. what characters do we wanna play, how do we wanna announce it

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:17 PM

Also, I'm thinking more of kinda classy vibe for the whole establishment, and honestly a more chaotic vibe for the actual game? I'm 100% going with kurukuru btw

Kurukuru

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:18 PM

cuz like. I feel like giving players this posh, upper-class and somewhat mystical place. Then just going "screw it. Do what you want, utterly destroy every nook and cranny of this place."is kinda just peak objective

Kinda could word that better but my point is, esp. with the stage, I'd say the game really lends itself towards the wayy more chaotic side of things, and I'd think it'd be smart to try to channel that.

Kurukuru

permission to share the current criteria with winter? She's asking so she knows in advance whether or not she wants to join.

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:27 PM

of course! we can share it with anyone now that we're near the date. Just wanted to get it ironed out

Kurukuru

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:27 PM

YES definitely. if we are going for classy/chaotic combo, and you're kurukuru, I'm def taking aradia

actually wait

you know who else is classy and chaotic and was friends with kurukuru

Nikola Orsinov

of course! we can share it with anyone now that we're near the date. Just wanted to get it ironed out

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:29 PM

Coolio. Just wanted to make sure

nooooooo waaaayyyy

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:30 PM

toy soldier my beloved,,

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:30 PM

YEEEAAAAHHHH

THE DUO IS BACK BABY

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:30 PM

I was thinking we could have some areas outside of the theatre proper that could lean a lot more into the crazy vibes

cause like

where is the theatre?

Nikola Orsinov

I was thinking we could have some areas outside of the theatre proper that could lean a lot more into the crazy vibes

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:36 PM

OOOH

Yeah that's smart

What if we do a kinda heist game-y thing?

Where the theatre is more normal and constrained, but if you find a way out it's super eldritch and chaotic and insane

Kinda leaning into concert on the ratatosk chaos stuff

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:40 PM

OH OH hear me out

a theatre has the backstage

almost like

the backrooms

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:41 PM

BWAHAHAHAH

YSE

YES

Wait I actually love that idea

Cuz, like

We established that players could get or look for props in the backstage, right? (edited)

So what if we have like

5 different backstages

That just inexplicably rotate in and out

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:43 PM

oh shit. there's an actual lore explanation for making props. you pull them from the chaos maze

I love this

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:43 PM

YEAH

Though the one thing I would say is that shouldn't be the only way to get props

I still like the idea of a stock image room

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:44 PM

oh totally

stealth sequel to both pandae AND ratatoskr

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:44 PM

And more game-mechanic wise, I'd say that having more than one way with varying levels of accessibility would make the most sense

Nikola Orsinov

stealth sequel to both pandae AND ratatoskr

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:45 PM

YEP

uhhh other random thoughts

I still think having a sort of audience mechanic would be cool?

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:48 PM

I was thinking of that too

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:48 PM

If we're channeling a more mystic vibe, then we could have the audience be a buncha, like, incorporeal specters or something

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:49 PM

OH LIKE the background souls from pandae

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:49 PM

So you can't quite directly interact with them, (so we don't need to have like 200 gmnpcs lmao) but they can still influence the game somewhat

Nikola Orsinov

OH LIKE the background souls from pandae

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:49 PM

honestly yeah

mechanically yeah pretty much

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:50 PM

that was actually one of my favourite parts - the ability to have callbacks and extra characters without expending an NPC on it

If we get any spectators they could get involved with the audience

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:52 PM

YES

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

The ingame audience could be the mechanical insert for the actual audience, as well as playing into really fluidly dropping npc or other needed characters into the enviroment

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 04:55 PM

Perhaps we could tie it in to the actor role somehow

Give them benefits for pleasing the audience

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 04:56 PM

YEAH

ooh yeah I really like that

My interpretation would be

Maybe the actors would have better means of communicating with the audience?

Cuz the way I'd imagine it, anyone should be able to benifit from pleasing the audience

So letting the actors specialize in interacting with the audience (something that already makes sense given the theming, and, like, what actors do lol) would make sense and provide them a powerful bonus that is still appropriate to their role

Kurukuru

Cuz the way I'd imagine it, anyone should be able to benifit from pleasing the audience

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 05:00 PM

good point yeah

Kurukuru

Maybe the actors would have better means of communicating with the audience?

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 05:01 PM

what exactly do u mean by this?

Nikola Orsinov

what exactly do u mean by this?

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 05:05 PM

Uhh, I'm not 100% sure tbh? But more bonuses for directly interacting with the audience, (I'm imagining it being similar to how people interacted with the background souls in pandae) maybe there could be something about the audience giving the actor requests? If we wanted to get really meta (which I'm not sure we do yet, lol) it could be a more direct tie-in to the spectators.

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 05:08 PM

ooh I have an idea

so as you said, everyone gets a generic buff for pleasing the audience

but we also mentioned the ability for actors to specialise into different roles

what if we give actors buffs for drawing out specific emotions in the audience, based on their role?

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 05:28 PM

Ooh, yeah, I can see that

What exactly would that accomplish mechanically though?

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 05:41 PM

perhaps it would add to the power of their performance? adding an extra effect to the stage mechanic

Or letting them focus it to that emotion

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 06:03 PM

Hmm. I can see that. Though I'm not sure how that would tie back into the audience?

That seems like it would be more regarding the play/stage itself again

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 06:16 PM

hm true

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 08:42 PM

ok I've had an idea

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 08:43 PM

uh oh

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 08:45 PM

through developing their performance, actors can win over individual members of the audience as their fans.

when off-stage, fans will accompany them as a one-use unique item with special abilities

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 08:52 PM

ooh I like that

I'd assume they'd only be an item game mechanic-wise?

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 08:54 PM

theres two ways of doing it

either we represent them as an item mechanically and have them be in-universe just following around

or we have them give like, tokens or favours, instead of following in person (edited)

The first is cooler imo

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 08:55 PM

^^

Though we could absolutely make a token work, esp. if we make it unique to a spirit

Like, a favor-inator from a hypothetical doof spirit, or idk, like a hairball from catra

idk lmao

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 08:57 PM

lmao that'd be funny

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 09:16 PM

having random past objective characters in the audience would be funny as fuck

with 0 explanation how they got there

a player talks to them and they're just as confused

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 09:31 PM

LMFAO

Honestly yeah

The theatre could be like

a meeting place for lost-ish souls

So the audience could be characters with

like

ambiguous endings?

Nikola Orsinov 04-Mar-22 09:34 PM

oh shit that's interesting

that would fit well with us lol. the toy soldier was explicitly given a very ambiguous ending

Kurukuru 04-Mar-22 09:45 PM

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking

Especially if we're going off ratatosk lore

that kinda thing would make a lot of sense

Nikola Orsinov 05-Mar-22 10:04 AM

some ideas I've had this morning

-upon death, characters get sent to the maze

-audience is a physical area that people can go to, allowing them to become part of the audience for whatever acting is going on, including giving favours and stuff

Nikola Orsinov

-audience is a physical area that people can go to, allowing them to become part of the audience for whatever acting is going on, including giving favours and stuff

Kurukuru 05-Mar-22 04:16 PM

I mean I was already planning on this one lol

Nikola Orsinov

-upon death, characters get sent to the maze

Kurukuru 05-Mar-22 04:18 PM

Sure, that could work. I was also thinking they could become (a more influential and less reactive) part of the audience

Nikola Orsinov 05-Mar-22 04:26 PM

ooh i also like that

WAIT WAIT WAIT

hear me out

But

what if the audience is the spirits of those trapped wandering the maze, viewing the play that shines within the centre of it

Kurukuru 05-Mar-22 04:59 PM

OOOOOOH

YEAH I LIKE THAT

Nikola Orsinov 05-Mar-22 05:03 PM

cause then we can set up like

Dead people are in the audience, and they can try and reach out to the living players to get them to open the maze and save them

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 12:11 PM

do we wanna talk to ahmayk about opening signups today?

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 01:22 PM

amals back

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 01:28 PM

hi

sorry for rage quitting

so can I be recapped on what is happening?

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 01:32 PM

-game set in a theatre in the middle of a backrooms-esque maze -players encouraged to put on a play which affects reality -pregame "auditions" where players choose one of five roles -me and ori are playing toy soldier and kurukuru -custom health mechanics -audience interactions for spectators, dead players and callbacks

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 01:33 PM

why are you playing toy soldier and kurukuru specifically?

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 01:34 PM

mostly cause a) fits the vibes b) ori wanted kurukuru so I chose toy soldier cause they have a preestablished dynamic

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 01:34 PM

ah

what are the health mechanics here?

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 01:38 PM

wounds are specific based on the actions sent for combat and confer effects on the player. no numerical health or death through attrition - deaths must be deliberate, and can only happen when a player has already received a major wound prior

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 01:38 PM

aha

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 05:22 PM

ooh we need server art

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 05:35 PM

we need a name for the game.

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 05:40 PM

Uhh

twisted theatre

Theatre at the end of fate

Idk I'm just throwing around random names

Fate's Performance

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 05:44 PM

Tragicomic Theatre?

hm.

trying to think of a play of words on Theatre of Cruelty

Nikola Orsinov

Tragicomic Theatre?

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 05:46 PM

no idea what that word meant, so I looked it up and

thanks google that really explains it for me

still thinkin about names

Cruelty's Curtains

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 05:54 PM

still feels a bit bland

theaterkids

Theatre of the Absurd

The Theatre of the Absurd (French: théâtre de l'absurde [teɑtʁ(ə) də lapsyʁd]) is a post–World War II designation for particular plays of absurdist fiction written by a number of primarily European playwrights in the late 1950s. It is also a term for the style of theatre the plays represent. The plays focus largely on ideas of existentialism and...

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 06:23 PM

oh uh

well we don't know character mechanics yet

but the health/stage mechanics are gonna require a good bit of work on our part

But that isn't really affected by player count - stage is one area

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 06:26 PM

Yeah. The way I see it rn, I'm kinda just expecting the stage to basically be two rollovers

Cuz there's what happens on the stage

Then the results of what happens on the stage

yee

aight

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 06:30 PM

ori, do you think we can get away with no player cap?

I think we proved ourselves alright with pandae

we'll probably need a third NPC, who I can rope in to help on the days you aren't around

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 07:09 PM

yeah, I'd say so

It really comes down to you more than me. I think if it's both of us we can definitely handle it, it just gets a lot harder the days I'm away or touring colleges.

Could we say something like "In addition to new map mechanics, this game will use custom health mechanics, which will be explained in the server." @Nikola Orsinov

Following the train of thought that it's better to inform the players more than less when we're doing something new

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 07:12 PM

new map mechanics?

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 07:12 PM

The stage

Lol

And technically the backrooms

ooooh. i wanted to keep those two bits like. actually secret tho

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 07:13 PM

those will be fun to keep secret ye

thats totally true but..

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 07:13 PM

obv not

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 07:13 PM

i feel like we can hint towards that stuff in pregame rp

i dont think its necessary to put in the announcement

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 07:13 PM

That's fair. I guess something like that is unnecessary, yeah

Alright, then I think we're good to announce?

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 07:15 PM

cool!

what do we wanna do

rp-wise

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 07:15 PM

uuh

Do we even wanna reveal our chars yet?

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 07:15 PM

nah keep that a secret

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 07:16 PM

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 07:16 PM

ooooh yeah

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 07:18 PM

**Welcome.** Though standard procedure would be to consider this an invitation, the theatre is anything but standard. Rather, this is a welcome, for everyone arrives here sooner or later.

something like that?

You can go to the design thread for me i'm pr sure it's in there

TheFloorIsEvil Character: Solus Zos Galvus/Emet-Selch Objective: gain a following

Mia, Zel, Serra and Superb are all considering their characters in my DMs

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 08:57 PM

im gonna write something up to announce the health mechanics

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:05 PM

In this game, health and death will not work as they usually do mechanically! Instead of numerical, abstract health, players will become physically damaged as combat happens. This damage is represented through wounds, which are visible on your character, represented by the bot as items. Wounds are unique to each combat situation, and may confer specific effects on a character - for example, losing an arm may make it harder to use things that require two hands. Because of this, players are encouraged to think more deeply about attacks and defences they make, and describe them in more detail. Due to the lack of hard numbers, it may be harder to tell when death will occur. Because of this, there is a rule put in place to prevent ganging up on players and instantly killing them. If a player started a phase with no major wounds, then they cannot die on that phase. It should be obvious which wounds are major or minor, but if it is unclear, it will be detailed in the item description. (edited)

is this good?

%ping

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 09:08 PM

what

yes

it explains

:)

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:08 PM

ignore the ping im trying to remember how to setup vault

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:11 PM

Huh

Didn't expect that to be the new death mechanic

Sounds interesting

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:11 PM

theres gonna be post-death stuff as well, as has become standard

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:11 PM

Like what

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:11 PM

our current idea is

characters who die are sent to another area outside of the map, and can communicate (with difficulty) with the living players through the audience

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:14 PM

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

This is your game so I don't want to insert too much of my thoughts on this but direct dead to living communication like that is something I'm not not fan of

Even if it's very difficult to do

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:15 PM

imagine it as more of a poultergeist haunting than a discussion

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:15 PM

That's still the same to me

Imo if you want dead chat to have something to do, maybe have them pick up an entirely new role outside the theater

Like a valet or something that can make calls on a guest to bring that can influence something going on but not directly

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:17 PM

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:17 PM

This is a certified umineko moment

Coyote Smith

Imo if you want dead chat to have something to do, maybe have them pick up an entirely new role outside the theater

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:19 PM

thats kind of the vibe? like.

the area theyre sent to is gonna be a BIG focus for them, cause its a very interesting area

so theyll have plenty to do that isnt just. sit around and try and talk to the living

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 09:20 PM

divide the game in two

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:20 PM

I see

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 09:20 PM

the living (on stage) and the dead (backstage)

Amalgam

divide the game in two

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:20 PM

NO NO NO NO NO

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:21 PM

That should be fine then

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:21 PM

no catbox 2

Amalgam

the living (on stage) and the dead (backstage)

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:21 PM

exactly!

Nikola Orsinov

OH OH hear me out

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:21 PM

read this bit

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 09:22 PM

when a character dies, they don't actually die in a living sense and more in an on stage sense

they just get pulled off-stage

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 09:25 PM

the one thing I would add is clarification that the wounds aren't actual items, they're just displayed through items in the bot.

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:26 PM

So the audience is supposed to be made out of a bunch of old characters/spectators is what I'm getting

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 09:26 PM

Yeah!

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:26 PM

And after death players get sent to this audience or backstage

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 09:26 PM

Btw what were the new features added on the bot?

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:26 PM

Something about making items to give to others

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 09:26 PM

And so dying lets you take on a kinda empowered spectator role, or a backstage fella to be rescued or worked with or something

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:27 PM

I didn't use it but iirc ahmayk wants more testing

Yeah thats still sort of my problem with the idea

That still seems very direct

Amalgam

Btw what were the new features added on the bot?

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:28 PM

there are generators, which can be placed in areas or given to players, which can give other players items mid-phase

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 09:28 PM

Cool

Wait

Kurukuru

the one thing I would add is clarification that the wounds aren't actual items, they're just displayed through items in the bot.

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:28 PM

good point

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:29 PM

But at the same time the game hasn't been developed yet so I'm sure this'll be ironed out more anyway

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 09:29 PM

Death means nothing in this place?

Health has been erased?

What is this shit

Coyote Smith 06-Mar-22 09:29 PM

For this game it seems

Get shot and get to work cleaning the stage

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:30 PM

yeah the death stuff is up in the air until someone actually dies lol

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 09:31 PM

I wanna see if We can somehow involve Aranactha in this because this seems totally in line with it

Nikola Orsinov

there are generators, which can be placed in areas or given to players, which can give other players items mid-phase

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:31 PM

theres also a feature where, combined with rules - you can enable players to take items from each other midphase

Amalgam

I wanna see if We can somehow involve Aranactha in this because this seems totally in line with it

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:31 PM

who

also.

sparky has just asked if they can be dream.

Amalgam

What is this shit

Amalgam 06-Mar-22 09:32 PM

This is Aranactha

I think

Oh right yes it is

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:32 PM

oooh

Nikola Orsinov

Kurukuru 06-Mar-22 09:37 PM

it could technically be real dream, or mask dream

Nikola Orsinov 06-Mar-22 09:37 PM

if their group is an entire pregame group

then logically

one of the npcs gets to be their organiser

Elle Woods 07-Mar-22 07:03 PM

so are there gonna be 3 groups?

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 07:04 PM

depends - 3 is probably the nicest number, yeah

gives a good ratio of special roles : actors

Nikola Orsinov

to record it here, the members of dream gang are: 404 brine pop serra superb mia (edited)

Elle Woods 07-Mar-22 07:04 PM

wait so how did this group come about?

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 07:05 PM

oh god

so

winter (saikonaifu)

decided she wanted to play dream

and she wanted to get all the other manhunt members

so she messaged pretty much every other player

and now theyve formed a group

that has its own special group objective

of hunting and killing dream

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 07:06 PM

I cannot believe any of this is actually happening

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 07:06 PM

im losing my mind

its been. 24 hours.

Elle Woods 07-Mar-22 07:06 PM

so then are you just making that one of the pregame groups? (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 07:07 PM

yeah, it makes most sense

Elle Woods 07-Mar-22 07:07 PM

so ig they might be a bit smaller than the other groups?

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 07:07 PM

theyve got 7 people including dream

and

well have somewhere between 20 and 25 players probably

so theyll be average size

Elle Woods 07-Mar-22 07:08 PM

oh ok at least it works out despite being cursed then lmaoooo

cursed in a good way ^

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 07:09 PM

ahmayk should join the dream crew

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 08:43 PM

WINTER JUST ASKED IF AMONG US WAS A VIABLE PICK

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 08:46 PM

WHAT

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 08:47 PM

consistently the worst ideas

Amalgam 07-Mar-22 08:50 PM

*the best

I adore her

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 08:51 PM

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:04 PM

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:05 PM

YOOOOOO

Amalgam 07-Mar-22 09:05 PM

THATS WHAT THE POINT OF THE MASK I-

Discord is a perfect pick for this game cause he is such a dramatic bitch

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:13 PM

Thank you maia for givin them a heads up btw

because I had no idea how to say that to the dream stans

lol

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:14 PM

How many are there

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:15 PM

theres only one actual dream smp player

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:16 PM

just everyone else getting roped into dream shenanagains

legit like 3/7ths of the cast are involved with dream in some way at this point

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:16 PM

theyre involved but like

from a meta player perspective

hopefully it wont bleed over into character too much

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:17 PM

Hopefully

Amalgam 07-Mar-22 09:17 PM

I hope it does

I want this to become chaotic so I win

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:17 PM

Although when you have this many players involved as a block it will get messy

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:18 PM

I think rn it's at the stage where it's barely manageable

just

100% we start all the dream-related people in separate groups

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:19 PM

Personally I don't think it's manageable

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:19 PM

It only works out if they get ties outside of dream's whole shebang

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:19 PM

Do they know who is or isn't a dream stan?

Or hunter or whatever

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:19 PM

other people dont know

and yeah if we can steer it in a different direction

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:20 PM

Now you guys are in some very tricky waters

Coyote Smith

Now you guys are in some very tricky waters

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:21 PM

oh yeah 100%

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:21 PM

a big help here is that.

everyone else in the dream group is very sensible

honestly i dont think most of them even want to take part

they just got roped in

the way im viewing this is like.

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:22 PM

Because steering is always going to sabotage something someone else has planned, so you'll be potentially stepping on a lot of toes

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:22 PM

its essentially just setup for winters objective

right

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:22 PM

Like I said, I think we can pull this off if and only if the dream-related people aren't defined by dream. It's alright if dream is a common denominator between a buncha other story arcs, it's just an issue if the whole dream plotline overruns everything else

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:22 PM

Seems so from what I'm seeing

I mean the way it's been presented to me it sounds like they've already been defined by dream

Because of their objective relating to him now?

Or just that they're involved with him?

Whatever the pinned message means

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:24 PM

they each have their own individual objectives and stuff

this is like

a group side objective

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:25 PM

I think there's a bit of an understanding as to what the dream gang is?

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:25 PM

thats the big issue here really

it was blown out of context in general

mechanically, its nothing more than a bunch of semi-unwilling participants in one players objective

but from what it SEEMS, people are getting panicked

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:26 PM

I just don't see the point in having people get involved in this when nothing has been designed at an objective level yet

This is something that'll sort itself out naturally without people having to become unwilling participants before the game starts

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:28 PM

Cuz as of rn, we've got like like 7 chars relating to dream only like 2-3 have an objective directly relating to dream, and one has already incorporated it into their own kinda seperate arc (spy) the only big tie is just that they have the group objective to hunt dream? I def agree that it's too much, but at the same time I'm not sure how we can address this other than trying to sort it out via gameplay

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:29 PM

You guys have already rejected objectives for this game right?

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:29 PM

maia explained it better than I did. My expectation is that it really just comes down to those 2-3 that a. could be problematic for the game b. will actually have an influence on dream/have their arcs more defined by dream

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:30 PM

I don't think arcs are an issue at all

Imo going into a game expecting to have an arc for your character isn't a good look

My issue here is that I think this will become house of leaves in cowritten

If there's so many people involved

Coyote Smith

You guys have already rejected objectives for this game right?

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:31 PM

I mean, we've struggled with winter's for a bit, but that was really the only problematic one

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:32 PM

only one other person has an objective related to dream

being beagle

so.

my suggestion could be

Nikola Orsinov

only one other person has an objective related to dream

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:32 PM

Isn't the spy planning on killing dream

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:32 PM

that winter gets rid of the pregame manhunt, and instead creates it through rp ingame

Kurukuru

Isn't the spy planning on killing dream

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:32 PM

nope

Nikola Orsinov

that winter gets rid of the pregame manhunt, and instead creates it through rp ingame

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:32 PM

This is what I had in mind

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:33 PM

I think the solution would honestly be to ask beagle to reconsider and setup the manhunt ingame

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:33 PM

Something like this isn't something that should be done in pregame

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:33 PM

i wouldnt mind keeping beagles objective actually

just getting rid of the group

cause if its just one person then tbh its just funny

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:35 PM

My concern with beagle is that to my understanding,

the objective doesn't really fit the character all too well? They're doing it more for an irl joke than for, yknow, actually playing objective

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:35 PM

theres nothing inherently wrong with that

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:36 PM

but the one thing I would say is that if nothing else, the manhunt would be 10x more interesting if it was a byproduct of ingame rp instead of pregame scheming

Nikola Orsinov

theres nothing inherently wrong with that

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:36 PM

I guess that's fair yeah

Kurukuru

but the one thing I would say is that if nothing else, the manhunt would be 10x more interesting if it was a byproduct of ingame rp instead of pregame scheming

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:36 PM

exactly yeah

so do we wanna talk in the GC about it?

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:36 PM

yeaaah

I think that's the best call, for better or worse

actually, should we talk with winter abt it first?

Coyote Smith 07-Mar-22 09:37 PM

Yeah

Just let them know to call it off

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 09:38 PM

sure - do you wanna do it? you know her better than me lol

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 09:38 PM

messaging them rn

waiting on a response

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 10:08 PM

have they responded?

Nikola Orsinov

have they responded?

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 10:12 PM

Nope. Tbf it's school hours, so they're likely in class for another hour

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 10:12 PM

ah fair

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 10:17 PM

I should technically be in class too, I've just got a more work based class lol

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 10:17 PM

Lmaoooo fair (edited)

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 10:17 PM

So I can just do the assignment(s) then goof of on discord

lol

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 10:17 PM

Objective in class? Could never be me

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 10:19 PM

pff

Elle Woods 07-Mar-22 10:55 PM

Can I be honest

I've heard of dream but I don't know anything about him and I'm having a stroke trying to understand this LOL

I don't get the funny pls can someone explain it to me

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 10:57 PM

YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM

you're so lucky

Elle Woods 07-Mar-22 10:57 PM

Should I try and keep it that way lmao?

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 10:57 PM

yes.

Elle Woods 07-Mar-22 10:58 PM

OK nvm

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 11:04 PM

Ok I can type here again?

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 11:04 PM

Greetings!

What the fuck happened

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 11:11 PM

Took Lilith changing perms and me restarting discord

no idea wtf that was

for context, I got locked out? somehow?

winter update

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 11:19 PM

Kurukuru

winter update

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 11:19 PM

the concern is how it's gonna impact the game itself tbh

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 11:54 PM

winter update

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 11:55 PM

yeah I understand that she'd feel that way

we'd have to talk to beagle too tho

Kurukuru 07-Mar-22 11:56 PM

Yeah, I mostly want to iron things out with winter first?

I hope I'm wording this correctly

Nikola Orsinov 07-Mar-22 11:57 PM

yeah, I know what you mean

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 12:00 AM

hoo okay

this is

interesting?

I think we can probably go with this if it's winter's actual objective

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 12:01 AM

I like this!!

we can keep beagle this way lol

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 12:02 AM

I say we go after it by dm'ing people who are already invested in dream something like "would you be interested in a somewhat experimental role"

and lead that into giving them a role in the manhunt

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 12:03 AM

yeah!

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 12:03 AM

I'd say we probably want to tone down their objective somewhat if we're going with this?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 12:04 AM

I don't mind keeping the rest of their objective - they need something to actively do whilst being hunted

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 12:05 AM

that's fair. Gonna give her the ok, then

Kurukuru

I say we go after it by dm'ing people who are already invested in dream something like "would you be interested in a somewhat experimental role"

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 12:05 AM

explain it lorewise by going "hey do you want a second job as a security guard"

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 12:06 AM

OOOH

Clever

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 04:25 AM

Zucc submitted

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:13 AM

I think I've sorted stuff with the dream gang proper

the question is, are we ok with Beagle?

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 02:56 PM

My take is if we're letting the other dream stuff through, we really don't have grounds to say no to them.

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 02:57 PM

that's fair

it'll be an interesting dynamic to have BOTH the gang and them

because

Nikola Orsinov

it'll be an interesting dynamic to have BOTH the gang and them

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 03:03 PM

yeah, that's what I was thinking. (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 03:20 PM

actually I have an idea

Lemme ask them a question

ok so there's a conflict here

beagles objective requires them specifically to kill dream

so there's probably going to be a three way conflict here

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 03:39 PM

yeah, that's what I was thinking?

I think it's def feasible for them, if the Hunters are gonna be prioritizing other stuff

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 03:42 PM

totally, I think this is gonna work out quite nicely

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 04:01 PM

Ohyzoros Character: Bydo System Alpha Objective: Corrupt someone into being a bydo (edited)

this is the new pick for most batshit character

they picked a spaceship

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 04:06 PM

YESSSSS

THEY DID

HOOHHHHH

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 04:17 PM

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 04:39 PM

hey, @Kurukuru , ive had an idea

i think our ability to design a lot of these characters would be greatly improved if we can build off of the roles we know they are going to take in the play

so. what do you think about running pregame sooner rather than later? we'd discuss it with the players first of course

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 04:58 PM

Hmm. I can def see that working? When/what would you suggest?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 04:59 PM

make it ... the day after tomorrow? so that players have good warning

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 05:03 PM

I say tomorrow/after signups end, we make a poll in announcements on whether the players would like that implementation.

Assuming it's favorable, yeah the day after tomorrow works

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 05:04 PM

thats a good idea yeah

with this amount of characters, the usual design method of tossing around ideas for a while might be. inefficient

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 05:10 PM

Yeah. We've def gotta keep this more effecient than less.

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 07:41 PM

meep has made an oc. sort of. kind of.

fuck i cant upload images

Character: Omen Source: Valorant and me and Locke Objective: find and have a meeting with his therapist and knit there things to give to if friends

he rewrote a valorante character to GIVE them a mask

which is amazing

and i have accepted

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 07:52 PM

Orion from Co-Written would count for this work

since he pretended to be Troy for like half the game for no reason

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 07:52 PM

LOL

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 07:52 PM

Co-written is a blur in my mind

why did I do anything in that game

I woke up and chose violence

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 07:54 PM

Cowritten is responsible for bringing The League of Extraordinary Sigma Gentlemen into existence so it gets points for that (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 07:54 PM

speaking of cowritten

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 07:54 PM

ooooo

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 07:54 PM

fucking. pisscord. image not sending

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 07:54 PM

Ok bringing back orion would be a fun one for this then

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 07:55 PM

Plasman Character: Spark the Electric Jester Objective: Get Paid

Amalgam

Ok bringing back orion would be a fun one for this then

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 07:55 PM

AGAIN

the true villain of season 3 /j

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 07:55 PM

YES

do we have any objectives that need NPCs yet?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 07:56 PM

i actually dont believe we do

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 07:56 PM

awesome

I hope it stays that way then we can fuck around

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:03 PM

we're waiting on zel at this point

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:03 PM

hope she hurries up

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:03 PM

who has been trying and failing to come up with an objective for 48 hours

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:03 PM

skill issue imo

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:04 PM

also plas has clarified that this is explicitly cowritten spark (edited)

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:05 PM

ok I don't have a choice

I am playing Orion

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:05 PM

I'd like to inform you that the reason zel is taking so long to choose an objective is because she's having to explain the entire lore of tsukihime to me because her character makes no sense to anyone but the author

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:06 PM

classic zel

what else is new

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 08:10 PM

What character

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:11 PM

TATARI

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:11 PM

oh noooooooo

aight

just copy the profile from Wild Rave we done

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 08:11 PM

OH THAT GUY

Yeah that shouldn't be hard then

If you're struggling then ask for an objective on her end first then fill in the gaps later

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:12 PM

this game is just bringing back everone

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 08:21 PM

Mario game

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:25 PM

@Nikola Orsinov When are you planning on announcing that signups are closing? It'd probably be a good idea to formally announce it.

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:25 PM

I was waiting till zel gave me her objective but. we can just do it now

do we wanna do an RP thing?

like

We can announce signups close and ask about when to start auditions in one

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:26 PM

uuuuuuuuuuuh

idk?

What would we say lol

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:26 PM

Along the lines of like

"wow we got so many actors that we might have to change our plans. auditions can start at the earliest convenience"

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:27 PM

ooh that's smart

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:27 PM

then ask in general out of character when would be best

Also

Character: TATARI / The Night of Wallachia Objective: For tonight, bring down the curtain on the name of "Night of Wallachia" and obtain The Sixth.

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:27 PM

Yeah, we can do that

@Nikola Orsinov just message when you're ready to announce.

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:32 PM

yeah I'll be a couple of minutes

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:32 PM

Alright, no rush.

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:32 PM

do we want to reveal our characters now? or just go as ???

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:36 PM

I'd say reveal, but I don't have the lart yet :(

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:36 PM

use the image

the one

:)

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:36 PM

th

the

NO

NO I WILL NOT

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:36 PM

do it

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:37 PM

anyway jokes aside I'd say closing signups, revealing, AND announcing pregame might be a bit much for one go?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:37 PM

true true

We can reveal when pregame starts like everyone else

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:37 PM

aight

do we NPCs also reveal for pregame?

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:38 PM

mmm probably

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 08:38 PM

does that mean we need to decide now?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:39 PM

yeah reveal for pregame cause. we need you in each group

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:39 PM

Hmm. I mean, in theory we'd need you for pregame?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:39 PM

decide soon, yeah. pregame will likely be in 2 days?

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:39 PM

So you've got ~2 days

MAIA

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:39 PM

does that mean I reveal Orion

fucked up

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 08:39 PM

YOU'RE STEALING MY LINES

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 08:41 PM

do you want to give me guidance for what sort of character to choose based on sign ups or should i just go wild, or maybe float ideas to you as I think of them?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:41 PM

we don't strictly speaking need anyone

so

Floating us ideas is good, yeah

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 08:42 PM

k I will have a think

Kurukuru

@Nikola Orsinov just message when you're ready to announce.

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:46 PM

ok hi hello

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 08:50 PM

We have a pregame?

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:50 PM

yes

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:51 PM

its going to be similar to pirate game pregame

which isnt intentional!!! we came up with it first!!!!

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:55 PM

custom phase names :O

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 08:56 PM

So any idea who I'd need to be?

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:56 PM

therapist

from bones

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:58 PM

ok wait

there is someone we need

a good guy. a real superhero.

none of the players fit this criteria

except maybe problem sleuth??

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:59 PM

is PS a real hero?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:59 PM

yeah

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 08:59 PM

well

there u go

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 08:59 PM

I'd qualify Lincoln is a hero

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 08:59 PM

but. hm. it feels weird to have his objective revolve around a single other character that he may never meet

oh true

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:00 PM

spark is my hero

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 09:00 PM

This is stuff I thought of, open to new suggestions

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:01 PM

ELLE WOODS

these are all great

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:01 PM

mathew "rantsona" patrickson

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:01 PM

em if you play matpat im going to kill you

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 09:02 PM

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 09:04 PM

We have a pretty good amount of objectives that involve destruction right

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:04 PM

JD, Patches, Ninetales all do

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 09:05 PM

Damn I thought there were more

I probably would've picked Ulmeyda from Killer7 if a lot of objectives just wanted to destroy stuff https://youtu.be/vEb39GqOqW8

sal4

Killer 7 - Cloudman Intro in crystal clear - Dolphin 720 HQ

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 09:08 PM

LOL

also

all glee and high school musical characters are valid picks

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:09 PM

oh god

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 09:09 PM

i don't think i'd do that to you dw (edited)

i can't decide tho, anyone like any of the ideas more than the others?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:10 PM

my favourites are the muses and elle

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 09:12 PM

ooh unless two of us were muses that could be fun, cos the tragic and comic muses are the reason for this thing

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 09:20 PM

I'll probs just go with elle, i do love legally blonde the musical

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:23 PM

oh my god the musical

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-01cO73qRU

Manuel Herrera - Topic

There! Right There!

1

ok ill start archiving characters weve completed

3 down

29 to go

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 09:26 PM

woo!

do npcs have objectives?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:27 PM

nah

youre totally free to act as a character tho

we might just ask a favour of you from time to time, so that we have an organic way of helping the players

Elle Woods 08-Mar-22 09:27 PM

ok cool!

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:39 PM

Playing new!Orion is fun

He’s an actual character and not just a trauma with a face and hooves

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:39 PM

is this gonna be the same continuity as cowritten?

or r!s?

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:39 PM

This is like the definitive 1.0 ok i know who this is now Orion

Having multiple timelines of Orion hanging around makes total sense in canon tho

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:43 PM

hm

you might have to have SOME knowledge of cowritten

considering

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:43 PM

Yes

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:43 PM

spark's gonna bump into you

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:43 PM

But I can def explain it with a throwaway line

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:43 PM

dear god we have a character called spark and a character called sparky

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:44 PM

“Oh hey been a minute, I’ve had some updates and hotfixes.”

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:44 PM

bwahahaha

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:44 PM

I’m not continuing the breakdown he’s not a program

Well ok how I explain it is like

How do i not sound insane here

In the story the world ends at the hands of demons in suits (the rich)

Orion and Matchstick beg Providence and Aureus after it’s all said and done to do something to change the outcome.

Nikola Orsinov

ok hi hello

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 09:47 PM

in statistics class rn :(

Prob won't be reliably available for ~30 mins

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:47 PM

oh ok!

lemme know when ur back

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:48 PM

The two gods consider it and give the two godly gifts, which are sent back in time 6 years before the apocalypse

So now we are on Iteration 2 or I2 for short

And every single time they fail to stop the apocalypse the abilities are tweaked to minimal degrees to ensure an eventual timeline where life can continue on

The two have no idea that they are in a timeloop btw

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:49 PM

the good place

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:50 PM

Wha?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:50 PM

oh it's a TV show with the premise of

a timeloop where the afterlife is tweaked to ensure the perfect suffering of a group of four people

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:51 PM

Uh

I don’t see the resemblance

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:51 PM

timeloop with constant iteration

nvm I'm. tired and wanted to make a joke

plz continue

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:53 PM

What I was getting at is that Orion and Match are constantly getting updated and restart at the same point in time (the point where they both get hit by the falling star that landed them in this mess to begin with.)

It’s not a big thing it’s just a pebble sized meteor

Honestly I think npcing this game is perfect

I am an actual actor

In this game

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:57 PM

I was thinking that for you

you don't have the outside influences of a player

nor the stress of being a gm

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 09:58 PM

Yea

I’m just vibing

The actual Orion redo because R!S was more like Sagittarius (Ignorance) than actually Orion

Oh god did I explain Sagittarius and Aries yet???

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 09:59 PM

I don't think so

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:00 PM

So yeah there’s this thing called the Dreamscape which is like portions of the collective conscious

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:00 PM

damn you really liked my writing huh-

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:00 PM

Huh?

No this is influenced by code geass

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:01 PM

oh huh

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:01 PM

C’s world

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:01 PM

that's the setting for my novel/collection of short stories lol

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:01 PM

Lol

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:01 PM

the collective dreamscape

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:01 PM

Everyone has their own personal little dreamscape too

As a reflection of the mind and imagination

Matchstick’s Aegis is like a key into that little space where he can actually be present in some capacity

So in Orion’s dreamscape there are two characters, Sagittarius and Aries who are the personification of his Ignorance and Overreactions respectively

They’re here because they’re more fun as antagonists than the actual apocalypse stopping plot

Cause that lacks any actual big fights and more social engineering

The whole stopping the apocalypse thing is a backdrop for character stories :)

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:09 PM

Naturally

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:09 PM

Wait isn’t that just homestuck

This is a fun fake reveal

Amalgam

Wait isn’t that just homestuck

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:11 PM

LITERALLY

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:12 PM

Well homestuck is good i guess so I’m not going to avoid it

This is your fault

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:13 PM

bwahahaha

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:14 PM

At least Homestuck doesn’t have things like Providence’s Halo which are fun as hell

Ultimate trans ally magic

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:14 PM

what's that?

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:15 PM

Orion’s gift which let’s him completely overwrite someone’s biology into what they desire for most in their subconscious

He has absolutely no control over the outcome it’s really cool

Cause it can also doom everyone if used on the wrong person

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:16 PM

point it at kefka oh god we're fucked

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:16 PM

So a lot of it is “I really, really want to help you but I am genuinely afraid to in case you accidentally fuck up hard”

Nikola Orsinov

point it at kefka oh god we're fucked

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:17 PM

Wh

Wha

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:17 PM

I am not choosing good references today huh

famous final fantasy villain who starts off as a funny littol jester and turns into god

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:17 PM

Isn’t that the metamorphosis guy?

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:17 PM

THATS KAFKA SKFEJFJ

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:17 PM

Oh

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:17 PM

point it at Kafka and he turns into a bug

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:18 PM

Bu g :)

It’s not really a point

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:18 PM

wait wouldn't Orion's ability just make a ton of furries very happy

how do furries even work in horse world

do they have human sonas

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:18 PM

I’m not answering that

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 10:30 PM

mmm alright I can either do the announcement now, or like in 2.5 hours

@Nikola Orsinov

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:30 PM

I'd say uh

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:36 PM

That was not just for here

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:36 PM

Give one option for tomorrow, give one for two days, and give one for something else (explain in general)

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:37 PM

for other pls

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:37 PM

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:42 PM

Do we npcs get 2 vote?

Kurukuru 08-Mar-22 10:42 PM

of course!

I support npc rights

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:43 PM

Wow!

Progressive objective

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 10:47 PM

Alright I guess we're doing this then

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:47 PM

I wasn't actually expecting people to start revealing until the pregame actually starts lol. I mostly wanted a vibe check for what day to do it on

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 10:47 PM

What's the reason for the pregame this game btw

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 10:47 PM

role system

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:47 PM

We need roles

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 10:48 PM

What

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:48 PM

Pablo get yo head in the fkn game

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 10:48 PM

Oh wtf that's pinned

I mean yeah, normally this stuff is explained

Forgive me for not knowing about mechanics that weren't said anywhere

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 10:50 PM

This place has backstage vibes

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 11:26 PM

Yeah I guess I might pick Garcian Smith for the npc role

Tentative pick tho

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 11:27 PM

oooh nice

I've been meaning to play killer7 for ages

Coyote Smith 08-Mar-22 11:29 PM

It's one of my all time favorite games

I think the multiple personalities garcian has would fit well for the signup criteria

Nikola Orsinov 08-Mar-22 11:31 PM

@Kurukuru I'm internally debating whether to make 4 starting groups or 3

im really not sure what would work best

4 would give us a 50:50 split of special roles to actors

which would mean less actors so less workload for us, but also more special roles, so each one feels less unique

4 would also mean a relatively calm pregame with 8 players per group, Vs 11 players for 3 groups

Amalgam 08-Mar-22 11:34 PM

I think 8 per is better

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 12:08 AM

IM GOING TO LOSE MY FUCKING MIND

cath just sent me this

I have not hinted towards my character at all

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 12:08 AM

Woops

I didn’t expect that to happen

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 12:09 AM

how do I respond to this

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 12:10 AM

Tell him exactly that

Word for word

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 12:18 AM

fyi I WAS planning to hide the toy soldiers identity behind Nikola Orsinov (a very similar character played by the same VA) because. it would not be good for the GMNPC to visibly have a gimmick where they have to do whatever they're told

but like

what the fuck do I do

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 12:20 AM

Let him use his knowledge

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 12:38 AM

Brine is Nyarlathotep

Ok I’m putting that here so I don’t accidentally spoil

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 02:02 AM

quite late but yeah I'd prob go with 4 groups

Coyote Smith 09-Mar-22 03:06 AM

Do we have a specific time tomorrow we're starting at

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 03:09 AM

I would assume the same time signups closed

p sure we're in different timezones so I can't give an exact time lol

Coyote Smith 09-Mar-22 03:10 AM

Got it

Coyote Smith 09-Mar-22 03:25 AM

I just realized if I do play Garcian should I bring the other six personas into it or stick with Garcian

Either way would work I suppose

Coyote Smith 09-Mar-22 03:46 AM

Speaking of cowritten I also just realized Garcian is a good pick for The League of Extraordinary Sigma Gentlemen

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:17 AM

cinammon's dropping out

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:17 AM

Aw

If this shit becomes metanarrative I’m giving Orion Vietnam flashbacks

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:28 AM

I think caths just doing his own thing with regards to that

I doubt spark has meta intentions

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:28 AM

Aight

That’s fine

Kurukuru

quite late but yeah I'd prob go with 4 groups

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:35 AM

ok, cool. when you're online we can discuss whos in what group

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:49 AM

the funniest thing about this game is how

like 80% of the characters are evil and chaos and hate each other

and we're making them put on a play

Dramatic gay bitch time

So who is going to be the one sitting in the backrooms in half a gorilla costume with a sandwich telling the players they shouldn’t be here

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 11:54 AM

me

note to self: haven't added sparky or Lou, waiting for them to confirm names

the headteacher just walked into the common room and watched me set up objective

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 11:56 AM

Lmaooo

What did they do

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 11:56 AM

walked away LMAO

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 11:57 AM

No way

Also if there’s a common room is there a rare room?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 12:14 PM

ok players are all added

can't wait to have to do that again LMAO

doing this on school WiFi is painful

to-do list: -add sparky -sort players into areas -[shortly before pregame starts] announce roles (edited)

Elle Woods 09-Mar-22 01:52 PM

How available do we need to be when it starts?

I have timed it amazingly and am seeing batman at 7 :(

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 02:08 PM

that'll be fine!

I should probably explain clearer what we want the NPCs to do

Coyote Smith 09-Mar-22 02:09 PM

That would be cool

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 02:11 PM

Alright

Are we the judges?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 02:14 PM

in-universe, you're part of our group running the theater - were looking to experiment with the powers of the stage. mechanically, you need to help explain what the roles are, nudge the groups towards putting on a play, and then if the characters come into conflict over choosing roles - since we gotta make it clear that it's not individual groups like pirate game, but the entire theatre is working around each other - you come up with a contest for them to compete in and then judge it

me and ori will have our own group, but we'll set up so we can moveinstant around and help you out

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 02:16 PM

Oh alright

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 02:31 PM

sorry if that's a lot of info at once lol

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 02:35 PM

I mean

fuck i don't even know what the roles are

Orion is just here to mix the audio he chilling

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 02:39 PM

Lemme uh there's a pinned message but I'll edit it a bit

Coyote Smith 09-Mar-22 02:42 PM

Alright

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 02:43 PM

apologies for lack of communication - I'm used to working in a way where ideas kind of flow, and taking on NPCs so quickly between signups and pregame was a bit jarring haha

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 02:56 PM

Special roles (one per group): Director: Any action performed by a group of characters that is in some way led by a director gains a +2 bonus for each player participating, applied to each player participating, up to a maximum of +10. Prop designer: As an action, can create brand-new items, or edit pre-existing items. Actions created this way become a "prop" - meaning they behave differently depending on whether they are on the stage or not. Set designer: Can make changes to the area. On-stage, they can overhaul the whole theme of the area, causing it to take place in a different location, time, etc. Off-stage, they can change one attribute of the area. Cameraman: Has a special item, a camera, that they can use to broadcast an area for one phase, additionally causing it to act as a stage, for all purposes. When doing this, the entire playerbase that isn't in that area becomes the audience, for all purposes. This is quite powerful if abused, so has a cooldown of... 2? 3? phases Anyone who does not take a special role becomes an actor. Actors start with no bonuses, but may submit one word to the GMs, that becomes their "archetype". This will aid in the design of the character. By giving a strong performance on-stage as this archetype, they may gain "favours" from the audience - powerful single-use abilities.

Clarifying some ideas - the stage is the area at the centre of the game. Actions performed on the stage will cause effects to happen elsewhere - but importantly, this is never told to the players. A key part of the game will be them figuring out how to use this.

The audience is a group that consists of any potential spectators + references to past characters, as well as all characters who are in the audience, which is another area that can view the stage.

Coyote Smith 09-Mar-22 03:48 PM

Because making mystery mechanics like this is always very risky, and with all the roles and stuff you're throwing into the mix already I see this as being very hard to keep track of

And most players not wanting to bother with it

Coyote Smith

What things could the stage do

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 03:49 PM

the idea is that the sum of the actions performed on the stage causes related effects to happen in another area

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 03:49 PM

why does the stage do wacky shjit

Coyote Smith 09-Mar-22 03:49 PM

Because

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 03:50 PM

for example, if someone pretends to stab someone as part of the play, a blood splatter will appear in another area or, more usefully for the players, they could stage a detonation as part of the play, and channel that into blowing up a real area and finding something there

Amalgam

why does the stage do wacky shjit

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 03:50 PM

lore shit that i planned ages ago and mostly scrapped in favour with just going for the flow. we can make something up LMAO

Nikola Orsinov

cool! when youre ready, i wanna chat about the list of who starts in what group as well

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 03:53 PM

I did see that. My initial thoughts are

would be funny to put beagle on the same team as dream honestly what if we put characters in groups kinda based on their signup criteria? Like, mask people in one group, deceit people in another, play people in a third or smth? the dream team absolutely needs to start split up. No more than 1 (maybe 2) people starting with dream what if we put jay finch on the same team as problem sleuth probably worth looking into who we could predict being directors, so we don't have too many candidates in one group

Coyote Smith 09-Mar-22 03:54 PM

I guess I'll have to see it for myself then

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 03:54 PM

that last point is very good

my initial candidates for directors are...

emet-selch PS maybe? dream definitely perhaps lincoln

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 03:56 PM

can absolutely see godot and emet as directors, maybe lincoln, and if I wanna go for a hard read, tree gets to be director off a meme vote

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 03:56 PM

HAHAHAHAHAH

to be clear its not a vote

if the players want a role they have to claim it and audition for it

audition being along the lines of. me vs winter at the pirate game pregame. they set a challenge and compete in it

Nikola Orsinov

to be clear its not a vote

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 04:04 PM

fair enough I just kinda lacked the proper wording to convey the idea of "haha this reasonably shouldn't happen but given objective shenanigans just might"

Nikola Orsinov

Special roles (one per group): Director: Any action performed by a group of characters that is in some way led by a director gains a +2 bonus for each player participating, applied to each player participating, up to a maximum of +10. Prop designer: As an action, can create brand-new items, or edit pre-existing items. Actions created this way become a "prop" - meaning they behave differently depending on whether they are on the stage or not. Set designer: Can make changes to the area. On-stage, they can overhaul the whole theme of the area, causing it to take place in a different location, time, etc. Off-stage, they can change one attribute of the area. Cameraman: Has a special item, a camera, that they can use to broadcast an area for one phase, additionally causing it to act as a stage, for all purposes. When doing this, the entire playerbase that isn't in that area becomes the audience, for all purposes. This is quite powerful if abused, so has a cooldown of... 2? 3? phases Anyone who does not take a special role becomes an actor. Actors start with no bonuses, but may submit one word to the GMs, that becomes their "archetype". This will aid in the design of the character. By giving a strong performance on-stage as this archetype, they may gain "favours" from the audience - powerful single-use abilities.

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:10 PM

thoughts here: Honestly I'm not too big of a fan of the generic "+x bonus to everyone following the leader's orders," it feels kinda uninspiring and overdone? Idk if that's just me, but I'd kinda like to see if we could do something more interesting with the role Prop designer looks good to me, though you probably wanna change it to "Items created this way" instead of "actions created this way" lol. But having created items have restrictions as "props" is an EXCELLENT way of balancing the ability. Set designer looks good to me, though we might wanna put that ability on a cooldown or make it take an action if we don't want 4 area changes per phase Cameramen I would say maybe just allow them to broadcast an area on a 2 phase cooldown, with turning an area into a stage being a one-time use ability (this would also be a good opportunity to hint at stages being somewhat significant) Ok I just love this implementation of the actors, that's just 10/10 chef's kiss

just a thought, but what if the stage was reactive too? Like, it could change in response to large-scale events in other areas. thought #2: I think we can both agree that no matter what, this game is definitely gonna be REALLY mechanically intensive. Considering this, I honestly might want to consider inquiring for a 3rd gm? Especially since there's a few days where I have to assume I'm going to be mostly if not entirely unavailable. (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:13 PM

set designer - i intended it to take an action, but i also thought it would be really funny if like. all four designers tried to change the stage at once LMAO

i agree about the director - i just wasnt quite sure what else to do

with the cameramen, i didnt mean the area turned into a stage permanently - i just meant it acted like one whilst it was being broadcast

if we have four cameramen, im also thinking that. either we make the cooldown longer or we make it one or two max uses. cause broadcasting is gonna get really energy-consuming for the players

unless it only broadcasted rollover?

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 05:16 PM

I like the idea of only broadcasting rollover

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:16 PM

alright, set designer being an action is fine, we'd just need to clarify that in the description I'd say

Nikola Orsinov

with the cameramen, i didnt mean the area turned into a stage permanently - i just meant it acted like one whilst it was being broadcast

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:17 PM

and yeah I realize, I'm just concerned that temporarily turning an area into a stage once every 2 or 3 phases might still be a LOT (edited)

Nikola Orsinov

if we have four cameramen, im also thinking that. either we make the cooldown longer or we make it one or two max uses. cause broadcasting is gonna get really energy-consuming for the players

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:18 PM

also yeah, that's really worth considering. 2-3 phases might make sense

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:19 PM

the reactive stage is really clever yeah, i like that

a third GM. i have honestly been considering it

one one hand

NPCs can help out

and theres also the question of

who would i ask

lol (edited)

like 95% of the community have signed up

Nikola Orsinov

with the cameramen, i didnt mean the area turned into a stage permanently - i just meant it acted like one whilst it was being broadcast

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:22 PM

I was thinking maybe we could do something cool like giving them an ability centered around "takes" or something So, like, maybe being able to reroll people's rolls, or being able to, say, copy and replay someone's action from a prior phase? Other idea was being able to distribute double their roll as a + or - among other people, so they can still be impactful to smaller groups

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:23 PM

OOH

i like that a lot

Nikola Orsinov

like 95% of the community have signed up

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:23 PM

iirc locke had a comment about being able to gm, but idk if that was a joke or not

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:23 PM

nah that was a joke about the heavy lifting he did in cowritten lol

Kurukuru

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:23 PM

ok i really like copying the action

giving them the copy ability, then make the broadcast/stage restricted to rollover and also a oneshot

that sounds good?

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:24 PM

Yeah!

Though actually (edited)

we should probably maybe do something in addition to that

if we really want to make the director feel impactful to a group

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:25 PM

wait

was the copy suggestion for director or cameraman

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:26 PM

OH WAIT

THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REPLY TO THE DIRECTOR IDEA

LMFAO

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:26 PM

OH LOL

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:26 PM

But yeah that actually works really well for the cameraman???

Did I just

That honestly works better as an ability for the cameraman than the director

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:27 PM

bwahahaha

another point regarding GMing is. i really dont know if id feel comfortable roping in someone and dumping all these pre-existing plans and mechanics on them

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:28 PM

mmm yeah that's fair

I'm just worried that I might be putting you in a stressful spot?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:29 PM

i could ask around for another NPC potentially

Kurukuru

I'm just worried that I might be putting you in a stressful spot?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:29 PM

nah - i know what im getting myself into

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:29 PM

That might be a good option

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:29 PM

its gonna be a lot of work but

i can handle this

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:29 PM

Alright!

That makes me feel better

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:30 PM

cool

then uhhh

director.

what we doin there

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:30 PM

Tho I still feel kinda guilty lol

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:31 PM

its fine haha

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:32 PM

Ok so yeah I think Cameraman: Can choose to copy someone's action at the end of a phase Any phase following that, they can have their action be to produce an exact replica of the action they cloned. Are we still doing. Broadcasting/stage stuff?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:32 PM

i think it would be funny as a oneshot ability

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:32 PM

Agreed!

Then uh director

I'd say

Kurukuru

Ok so yeah I think Cameraman: Can choose to copy someone's action at the end of a phase Any phase following that, they can have their action be to produce an exact replica of the action they cloned. Are we still doing. Broadcasting/stage stuff?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:33 PM

i think it should take an action to copy - also adds an element of randomness, as they dont know how the action will turn out

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:33 PM

That works

Kurukuru

Then uh director

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:34 PM

I kinda like the idea of a pool that they can distribute as a + or - to people's rolls So say, they have like 20 in the pool: They could empty the pool to give one person a +10, and, say, two people -5's to their roll

Or 5 people +4's

or, say, one person a +7 and then still have 13 to spare for the next phase

You get the idea?

Though I don't feel like that's at all as impactful as the director role really should be?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:47 PM

yeah - everything else is kind of, more interesting than just roll boosts

OOH

how about

they have a list of buffs they can apply when partnering with actors with an increasingly wide range of archetypes

so

wait no scrap that

they could focus on

unifying every one of the other roles

if they coordinate their ability with [1/2/3/4] other players, each with a different role, they get [W/X/Y/Z] bonus

cause

the other roles are pretty selfish

and so is the game as a whole

so the most powerful role comes from overcoming that and working together

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:54 PM

OHHH

Yeah I like that

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 05:56 PM

@Playwright ok one of you fuckers check who is leaking info to Cath'

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:56 PM

what

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:56 PM

WHAT

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 05:56 PM

jk

he's been scarily on point

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 05:56 PM

HAHAHA

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 05:56 PM

WH

WHAT

AAAARGH

BRUH WTF

can we make that. an ability

for cathode in particular

Ability: scarily accurate ooc predictions - if you correctly predict an event that has minimal if any forshadowing, nothing will happen but the gms will be very upset in design chat (edited)

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 05:59 PM

YES

GIVE THAT TO HIM

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:03 PM

Ok somewhat less joke-y: Cathode established that they're planning on being, like, a character inn the game that problem sleuth is aware of

we could genuinely turn this into a mechanic lmfao

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:03 PM

-Co-ordinating your action with a group of 2 or more actors ensures that they are well-regarded by the audience. If on stage, those actors will be guaranteed to receive a favour, and you will receive a weaker copy of one of the favours. If not on stage, any favours they have will be upgraded, and you will receive a copy of one of the un-upgraded favours. -Co-ordinating your action with both a prop designer and a set designer will create an outfit, a powerful piece of equipment. -Co-ordinating your action with a cameraman, a prop designer, a set designer and 2 or more actors will [REDACTED].

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:03 PM

WHAT IF CATHODE CAN GIVE PROBLEM SLEUTH OOC/META KNOWLEDGE

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:03 PM

[REDACTED] gives a powerful stage effect, but they don't need to know that yet :)

Kurukuru

WHAT IF CATHODE CAN GIVE PROBLEM SLEUTH OOC/META KNOWLEDGE

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:04 PM

go discuss that with him in dms first

Nikola Orsinov

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:05 PM

The last thing I'd say is what if we made it so that the cameraman could only use the one-shot turn an area into a stage thingy by coordinating with a director?

But other than that that looks great!

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:06 PM

Good idea, yeah

ill write all of this up into an announcement

im about to have dinner but

once im done, we can RP, announce roles, and then

starts at 7

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:07 PM

it is 7

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:07 PM

its 6 for me

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:07 PM

that's a you problem

Nikola Orsinov

im about to have dinner but

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:08 PM

DINNER???

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:08 PM

ori may i introduce you to timezones

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:08 PM

DINNER.

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:08 PM

good lord I didn't realize our timezones were THAT far apart

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:08 PM

im bri*ish lol

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:08 PM

I. like. am a good bit from lunch rn.

Unreal

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:08 PM

bwahaha

also

do u wanna reveal our characters as we announce

i feel its fitting

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:09 PM

Yeah!

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:09 PM

OH

STARTING AREAS

Nikola Orsinov

once im done, we can RP, announce roles, and then

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:09 PM

ok so like in an hour?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:09 PM

i knew we had forgotten something

Kurukuru

ok so like in an hour?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:10 PM

yeah

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:10 PM

OH WAIT-

YEAH

ALRIGHT

uuuh we can just start them all off in differernt backstage areas ig?

Actually

worth discussing is the tree

I was thinking

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:10 PM

put me with spark I think that will be funny

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:10 PM

it would be funny to start with the tree onstage

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:11 PM

yes

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:12 PM

But the issue with that is.

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:12 PM

ive already set up areas!

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:13 PM

would the stage do somethingg

Nikola Orsinov

ive already set up areas!

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:13 PM

?????

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:13 PM

we have a stage, a dressing room, a balcony, and backstage

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:13 PM

when?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:13 PM

i just havent sorted the players into them

i did it when i did the players earlier

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:13 PM

WOAH

Wow, thx!

Thoughts on the tree dilemma:

I'd like to have the tree start onstage For the tree to start onstage, the rest of its team would also have to start onstage For everyone to be onstage, how would we prevent players from getting the wrong idea about its functionality?

Actually

wait

we just don't let them take actions

so the stage doesn't do anything fancy

Ok so. Area brainstorming: Stage (Kurukuru and the Toy Soldier):

Tree (definitely) Emet Selch Sparky Bydo System Alpha Nyarlathotep? Berkastel Tatari Kuro

Balcony (Garcian):

Robbie Rotten (probably) Funnyman? Godot Problem Sleuth Trainee Chef Nagisa Spy Sparky

Dressing room(Orion):

Zoe Sado Valvatti Jay Finch Double Trouble Ninetales Bravocat No-face

Backstage(Elle Woods):

Dream Abraham Lincoln Vasilissa? Mask (lmfao) Omen Patches Max

(edited)

I'd probably put godot and robbie rotten on the balcony because I see them as kinda scheming characters that would rather get a good look at what's going on from the sidelines?

I'd put no-face either onstage, or in the backstage

uuuh

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:24 PM

I wanna be chilling backstage

seems fitting

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:24 PM

I could see bernkastel with the schemers

or in the dressing room

Valvatti is DEFINITELY in the dressing room

Original message was deleted or could not be loaded.

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:25 PM

Pinned a message.

gonna pin that actually

Emet I could see on the balcony or onstage

It'd be funny if the tree could be one of emet's minions?

Actually yeah Ii think I'll go with that for now

Jay and Problem sleuth could go backstage, but I feel like that might be too much activity for one group

Actually Jay would make a LOT of sense in the dressing room

Esp since he's harry potter magic highschooler or whatever, so there's a lot of potential chemistry with zoe?

At that point I'd probably go with problem sleuth in the balcony

Though it'd be funny to slap him in with the highschoolers

Rn the dressing room looks like valvatti babysitting chaotic teens lmao

OK

WE'RE PUTTING THE MASK WITH DREAM

SORRY

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:30 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:31 PM

NOBODY CAN STOP ME ON THIS

I'd also put nyarlathotep in the dressing room tbf

and uuuh

sparky goes onstage for sure

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:33 PM

can we put the BSA on stage

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:33 PM

No idea what's going on with bydo system alpha so

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:33 PM

merely cause i dont think there would be space for it anywhere else

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:33 PM

YOU

BEAT ME TO IT

WTF

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:33 PM

AGAIN

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:33 PM

HOW

alright onstage works

funnyman could go onstage or backstage I'd say

I'm beginning to question putting all the scheme-y characters in balcony tbh

I feel like I should prob balance that out a lot more

Gonna put trainee chef and uhh maybe nagisa on the balcony

would not make sense for nagisa to be onstage, I'd say backstage has enough going on as-is, and dressing room already has its fair share of teens lol

double trouble is uuuuh

definitely dressing room

Also gonna move nyarlathotep to the stage I'd say

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:38 PM

funnyman should go with robbie rotten

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:38 PM

Omen could go to the balcony or backstage I'd say

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:38 PM

i want to make them aware of each other

Nikola Orsinov

funnyman should go with robbie rotten

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:38 PM

OH TRUE

I'll put omen backstage then

Balcony seems pretty balanced with where it is rn

Putting patches backstage because that just makes sense I feel

ninetales goes uuuh

Either onstage or dressing room I'd say

Honestly maybe dressing room, just to balance the groups out a bit

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:42 PM

dressing room actually seems like the most chill group (and also sado is there)

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:42 PM

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:42 PM

max has backstage vibes

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:42 PM

Max? yeah makes sense

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:43 PM

bernkastel... on stage?

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:43 PM

Honestly I feel like the dressing room kinda needs

direction?

Nobody feels like a strong leader candidate for them

They're all kinda chill (sado is not included here)

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:44 PM

bravocat?

Nikola Orsinov

bernkastel... on stage?

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:44 PM

mmm yeah makes sense?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:44 PM

i dont know much about him but locke might have leader vibes

the way i see it we have

stage: dramatic bitches balcony: silly but in a good way dressing room: chill backstage: silly but in a evil way

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:46 PM

My idea is kinda Stage: Dramatic/active people Balcony: bigtime schemers/charactacters who work from behind the scenes Dressing room: the normal/friend-based ones (NOT sado) Backstage: pure chaos (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:46 PM

tatari goes on stage

dramatic mf

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:46 PM

True!

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:46 PM

little bitch

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:46 PM

spark in dressing room? hes gonna be chill

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:47 PM

Also yeah bravocat makes a lot of sense in the dressing room

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:47 PM

I'm chill

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:47 PM

def easier to organize a dispute with. the emotionally all over the place teens

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:47 PM

oh yeah we need to assign NPCs too

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:47 PM

(ignore all of co-written Orion)

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:47 PM

the two of us can take stage

orion can probably take dressing room

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:47 PM

he has a different last name it's not the same

lol

ye ok

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:48 PM

garcian on balcony

then poor elle woods gets backstage

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:48 PM

LMAO

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:48 PM

spy goes on balcony

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:48 PM

I might put sparky on balcony actually

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:49 PM

actually that works

im not sure how well they fit with the drama ppl

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:49 PM

^

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:49 PM

balcony is full then

i dont think no-face wants a particularly chaotic experience

so dressing room probably

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:50 PM

No face on stage or dressing room for sure

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:50 PM

then in that case its just

kuro

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:51 PM

LMAO

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:51 PM

backstage or stage?

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:51 PM

the last one

kuro is

def stage

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:51 PM

true

ok!

lemme feed this into the bot

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:53 PM

I think you gms need to handle dream

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:53 PM

Amalgam

I think you gms need to handle dream

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:53 PM

wdym

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:54 PM

wait

theres

sparky is on here twice

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:54 PM

your burden

of dream

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:55 PM

which is spark and which is sparky

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 06:55 PM

sparky is bamboo

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:57 PM

Wait uh

UH

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 06:58 PM

i put sparky on balcony and spark on stage

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 06:58 PM

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:01 PM

@Kurukuru bot done!

lemme just write up the roles into something comprehensible

and grab my pfp

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:02 PM

Thank you!

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:03 PM

not sure if you read this last night but

im playing the toy soldier but disguised as another character

so players dont immediately go "right lets order the GM to blow everything up"

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:05 PM

I did catch that

Mostly because cath SOMEHOW predicted that too

Should I do a "game starts in ~15 minutes announcement?" (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:12 PM

For the auditions, you have been split into four groups! Fret not - these groups will have no impact on the rest of the game, and are simply your rivals for this phase. What are you auditioning for? Roles in the creation of the play, of course! Each group will have ONE of the following roles: Prop designer: As an action, can create brand-new items, or edit pre-existing items. Items created or edited this way become a "prop" - meaning they behave differently depending on whether they are on the stage or not. Set designer: Can make changes to the area. On-stage, they can overhaul the whole theme of the area, causing it to take place in a different location, time, etc. Off-stage, they can change one attribute of the area. Cinematographer: Can use their action to film the action that another person takes. They may later spend their action to perfectly replicate the action they have filmed. They can have up to 3 films stored at one time. Director: Gains unique effects for a group of people by performing an action co-ordinated with them. -Co-ordinating your action with a group of 2 or more actors ensures that they are well-regarded by the audience. If on stage, those actors will be guaranteed to receive a favour, and you will receive a weaker copy of one of the favours. If not on stage, any favours they have will be upgraded, and you will receive a copy of one of the un-upgraded favours. -Co-ordinating your action with both a prop designer and a set designer will create an outfit, a powerful piece of equipment. -Co-ordinating your action with a cinematographer will, for the duration of rollover, turn the current area into a stage, and broadcast it to all players. This ability can be only be used once per director. -Co-ordinating your action with a cinematographer, a prop designer, a set designer and 2 or more actors will [REDACTED]. (edited)

Anyone who does not gain one of these roles will become an: Actor: At the end of the auditions, if you are an actor, you may submit one word to the GMs. This world will become your Archetype, and will be used to design your character. By giving a strong performance on-stage as this archetype, they may gain "favours" from the audience - powerful single-use abilities.

OH WAIT

director cinematographer effect

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:12 PM

Hm?

Oh yeah

do order it from rarest to least rare

lol

wait have we. explained favors yet

Oh I guess the actor role does

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:14 PM

we should also explain how auditions will actually work

Before the end of the phase, send a !do action to claim the role you want. If multiple players in a group claim the same role, the NPC organiser assigned to your group will present you with a competition! You will have a short bonus phase to submit an action for the competition. Whoever wins the competition gets the role. (edited)

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:17 PM

I might want to start things off by saying something like "Hello ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between - and welcome to the show of your lives! Here, you will audition for your desired roles in the production! Make sure to put a lot of thought into what you pick - I've heard the real crowd-pleasers have even earned some favors from the audience!"

"Now, my partner - take it away!"

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:18 PM

sounds good!

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:20 PM

And after all that, you or I can prob say something like "but wait - it'd be quite improper to toss everyone into this production without even revealing who they are, wouldn't you say?"

And that would lead into the reveal

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:20 PM

lets go

make sure to change your pfp/nick lol

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:21 PM

wait uh

Where we can just say

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:24 PM

yeah

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:24 PM

pregame is NOW

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:26 PM

we ready?

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:26 PM

I mean

Do we wanna do a more direct reveal

or just leave it with pfps

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:26 PM

ksdafksdgksdf ive already done my name

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:27 PM

i suppose we dont need the everyone ping when

bot will ping people in their own channels

ok. last check. have we forgotten anything

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:28 PM

We have areas. We've explained everything. Npcs are good to go. Bot is set up

I think we're good?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:28 PM

lets go then!

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:28 PM

You start the game, I'll announce that pregame is starting

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:29 PM

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:29 PM

WHY ARE THEY AT THE BOTTOM

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:29 PM

Amalgam

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:29 PM

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:29 PM

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:29 PM

we can just keep an eye out for now and step in if theres any confusion

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:30 PM

oop

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:30 PM

looking good so far

oooo

EXCITED

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:31 PM

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:31 PM

OOP

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:32 PM

god I would kill for a "hide threads" button

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:32 PM

SAME

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:32 PM

discord spazzes out with so many threads

yes I can see

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:32 PM

this is going well

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:33 PM

spark is a hero for spaceman's objective maybe

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:33 PM

really enjoying stage rn

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:33 PM

dressing room is dead

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:33 PM

lmao everyones offline

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:34 PM

we drafted stage perfectly lol

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:34 PM

YEAH

cath going for it immediately huh

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:36 PM

went in head first

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:37 PM

oh my god cath

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:40 PM

lmaqooo

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:41 PM

btw @Nikola Orsinov I genuinely forgot how much joy I get out of. just. seeing all of this stuff that we designed unfold. This is incredible, and thank you so much for working with me for it.

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:42 PM

YEAH SAME

it's great

tysm for running this with me lol. I know it's a bit more intense than pandae but. it's gonna be great I can tell

TREE

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:45 PM

YES

THIS IS SO GOOD ALREADY

Coyote Smith 09-Mar-22 07:48 PM

I'll be MIA for a few hours

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:48 PM

Alright, np

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:48 PM

I LOVE FUNNYMAN

S tier characters this game

hm

should I tell Valvatti orion is a musician or

@Kurukuru

what do i say

oh

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:53 PM

forgot to send the final message lol. I just put it in announcements

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:54 PM

lol whoops

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:54 PM

are we making me into the audio mixing guy

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:54 PM

LMAO

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 07:55 PM

Please give me my limits before I make a drama out of myself

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 07:57 PM

having you hang around to be the audio mixing guy sounds good

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 07:57 PM

no limits as long as you're not interfering with someone else's goal or objective

npc righty baby

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:00 PM

holy shit Azazel's rp as BSA is better than I could've imagined (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:03 PM

Azazel???

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:03 PM

Yeah they changed their name

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:04 PM

zamn

Cool name

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:04 PM

because they didn't want to get confused with their fursona

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:07 PM

HAHAHAHA

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 08:07 PM

LMFAO

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:09 PM

this game gives me life

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:09 PM

brine what the fuck are you doing

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:10 PM

BWAHAHHA

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:22 PM

the funniest thing is

we were panicking about how every character is evil

and now theyre just all shitposting

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:23 PM

oh no

Co-written 2

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:23 PM

NO

no more cowritten jokes

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:23 PM

eehehehe

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:24 PM

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:24 PM

BWAHAHSAHHAAHAHA

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 08:24 PM

sorry cowritten is banned while the game is ongoing

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:24 PM

well then ban cath

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 08:24 PM

no more cowritten

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:42 PM

OH NO I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT AZAZEL IS DOING WITH BSA

for context

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:45 PM

what

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:46 PM

They are playing as the pilot inside the BSA obv

which has been systematically shoved in a can with their fleshy bits and hooked up directly to the ship

being unaware the r-9a (their body now) has been corrupted

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 08:47 PM

KSDKJTGDFJKHKJKDJG

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 08:47 PM

classic bam

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 10:18 PM

@Playwright ok quick question regarding orion and the general notion of NPC abilities cause i feel this might be relevant later on: in the case that it would fit into any character’s arc, could I let Orion use his ability to completely rewrite someone into their deepest desires or do we can that ability this game for the sake of being an NPC?

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:19 PM

I would say that's a definite no as of now

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 10:19 PM

Alright!

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:19 PM

That might be prone to change in the future

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 10:19 PM

It’s fine I just wanted to know since I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep in character

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:20 PM

But it would also require good reason, and potential balancing/rebalancing of other npcs, depending on the circumstance

Amalgam

It’s fine I just wanted to know since I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep in character

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:20 PM

Sounds good, thanks for asking!

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 10:22 PM

I can't believe the characters are going at it so hard in pregame

I'll admit I was a little worried that the roles alone weren't enough to get people going but

Damn

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 10:22 PM

This is awesome

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:31 PM

YEAH

Like

I said this before

This has completely revitalized me

and THEN SOME

This is incredible

Everyone looks like they're having so much fun with their chars

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 10:32 PM

I’m afraid this peaks the game too early but on the other hand

If it isn’t the peak

oh boy are we in for a good time.

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 10:32 PM

you know this isn't the peak

because this is just discussion

No events to back it up

they're kind of just chilling and discussing philosophy

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 10:33 PM

I’ve never had an omniscient pov where i can actually rp with people before

In a long game at least

Nikola Orsinov

because this is just discussion

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:33 PM

^^^

Can't wait for. Events to actually happen

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 10:33 PM

Yeah

A week away!

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 10:34 PM

bwahaha

I do feel bad about getting everyone so invested only to cut it for a week

But man this has given me so much inspiration for designing them

Kurukuru

Can't wait for. Events to actually happen

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:34 PM

Also can't wait for too many events to happen at once and both of us to DIE because we need to rollover like 30 events a day!

Nikola Orsinov

But man this has given me so much inspiration for designing them

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:34 PM

YEAH

This was such a good call

Just based on their rp alone

There's so much more to go off of

Kurukuru

Also can't wait for too many events to happen at once and both of us to DIE because we need to rollover like 30 events a day!

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 10:35 PM

LMAO

it doesn't feel like that many people when they're split into groups of 8

but. when 20 people are in one area and the other 11 are scattered across the map

ouch

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 10:36 PM

Is this an attack?

For the tower phases

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 10:37 PM

huh?

no lol

I was more thinking end of catbox

Amalgam 09-Mar-22 10:37 PM

Ohhh

Good point

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:38 PM

I mean my biggest remedy for catbox syndrome is just. Having a lot easier access between areas

So people can get into and out of hotspots

We just have to kinda try to push

So that there isn't (or is infrequently) one big or active area over others (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 10:40 PM

the stage is definitely going to be the focal point

I was considering a sort of wheel design with it at the centre so people can easily get in and out

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:41 PM

Yeah, I'd just hope that there are enough things surrounding it that it's not the ONE BIG thing to do over everything else

Nikola Orsinov

I was considering a sort of wheel design with it at the centre so people can easily get in and out

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:41 PM

I mean it already kinda lends itself to that with the backstage and audience areas, if nothing else

just realized that the dressing room bunch also kinda just happened to be 50% literally just a normal fella, 50% eldritch or spiritual being with godlike powers

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 10:44 PM

lol

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 10:52 PM

I'm amazed that stage group have actually sorted their roles

Kurukuru 09-Mar-22 10:52 PM

true!

Elle Woods 09-Mar-22 11:13 PM

Hey I just got back

So we're meant to draw their attention to the stage?

Nikola Orsinov 09-Mar-22 11:16 PM

heyo!

for now I think we just. help them sort out their roles. perhaps prod them into choosing ones if they all just want to be boring and go actor

stage stuff can come with the actual game

Elle Woods 09-Mar-22 11:18 PM

Okiedokie!

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 05:16 AM

permission to add a magically disappearing tablet to the game

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 08:09 AM

LOL

Amalgam 10-Mar-22 08:41 AM

The tablet disappears 4 phases after it’s been found

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 12:54 PM

Oh no they're making alliances

Elle Woods 10-Mar-22 02:34 PM

Do npcs submit actions?

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 02:59 PM

Not this phase

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 06:46 PM

ok so

we only have one conflict

Coyote Smith 10-Mar-22 06:53 PM

Tell them to settle it in the form of a monolog

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 06:56 PM

It would be funny and kind of fitting to have max's role be a "contest" too

Or at least have it take place in the same time period?

My thought would be

it's just a room

where we argue with max over WHY you should receive a "max" role

but in the end it's just a fun means of giving them the role/ability they want

that makes more sense than just "yeah sure lmao"

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:03 PM

LMAO GOOD IDEA

locking in a sec, waiting for zel to do a thing

@Kurukuru you about?

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:07 PM

about?

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:07 PM

around. here. present

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:07 PM

Yeah I'm good to lock and rollover if that's what you're saying?

Oh

yeah

lol

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:08 PM

ok so...

for two channels, we have no contests

so we just need to give a vague message of congratulations. dont reveal who got which role

for one channel we have max which. i totally agree. yank them into another area and discuss with them

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:09 PM

Alright!

you sure we shouldn't announce who got what?

Actually if they're gonna be split up later

Yeah that's fair

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:10 PM

keeps a sense of mystery

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:10 PM

Yeah I agree, that makes sense

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:10 PM

its like umineko - if its not in red - gm text - nothing is confirmed

so uhh

Nikola Orsinov

its like umineko - if its not in red - gm text - nothing is confirmed

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:11 PM

ok yeah I really like that actually

people could lie about their roles

based

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:11 PM

yeah!

what do we wanna do for valvatti and bravocat

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:12 PM

I'd say we can just say "except for two of you... you'll know who you are soon"

And whisk them into the debate room

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:13 PM

oh i was thinking that

as directors

their contest should somehow involve their ability to manage the other players

whether its a popularity contest or something

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:14 PM

mmm I don't wanna make it a direct popularity contest

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:14 PM

yeah me neither

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:14 PM

That'd just scew over valvatti

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:15 PM

perhaps we could have them describe their ideal play?

then have both the gm/npc team and the players vote

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:15 PM

YEAH

I was thinking the players should vote

btw, just going to give a generic "everyone walks up and requests a role...things go well" into a "Congratulations! You all shall receive your roles... sooner or later." for balcony and backstage

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:17 PM

cool!

im gonna set up an office area for brine

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:23 PM

Cool!

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:27 PM

just gonna make a private channel with no earlog.

cause. moving someone out of a locked channel is hard.

ori lmk when youre done so we can talk to brine

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:29 PM

Alright

done with balcony and backstage

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:30 PM

cool - we can do dressingroom after brine cause itll take longer probably

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:30 PM

Alright, makes sense

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:44 PM

that went well with max

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:46 PM

lmaoooo that was so funny

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:46 PM

yeah that was great

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:48 PM

ok so uhh

dressing-room now

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 07:48 PM

the director duel

prob going to go offline for a bit

have a calc test

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 07:54 PM

fair! im not sure how long this mini-phase will last

probably until someone gets a majority vote

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 08:04 PM

holy shit pop is fucking balling

Amalgam 10-Mar-22 08:33 PM

hm

I wonder

would it like, be possible to have an inbetween phase from when we end the auditions and start the actual game?

just one long phase where people can rp in the meantime for shits n giggles

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 08:48 PM

I was considering that, but I was worried it would burn people out before the game proper

even in this pregame, ohys had an entire character arc already

Amalgam 10-Mar-22 08:51 PM

yeah that's fair

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 09:09 PM

alright hi hello I'm back

the test went well

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 09:09 PM

nice!

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 09:09 PM

pretty sure I caught a mistake the teacher made on it lol

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 09:09 PM

bwahahhaa

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 09:11 PM

do you know what syne is referring to here?

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 09:13 PM

huh wha

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 09:13 PM

is that? even a word?

genuinely baffled here

the longer I look at this the more coonfused I get

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 09:41 PM

@Nikola Orsinov Wait so are the gms voting? I thought they were, but I'm honestly not sure it'd be the best call for the dressing room situation

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 09:42 PM

my initial intention was yeah, but it doesnt seem like a good idea now

1

im happy to let @Amalgam vote, as hes spent the phase with the cast and theres an even number of players, so he might be needed as tiebreaker (edited)

Amalgam 10-Mar-22 09:46 PM

oh you're letting me vote?

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 09:46 PM

if you want to!

Amalgam 10-Mar-22 09:51 PM

wait no we have to wait for next week now

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 09:51 PM

sobbing

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 10:02 PM

man I feel bad for tatari

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 10:05 PM

gah so many people not submitting archetypes

Amalgam 10-Mar-22 10:09 PM

How i sleep knowing I don’t have to write up profiles

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 10:11 PM

bwahahahahahaha

designing profiles :) typing out **___** every time :(

Amalgam 10-Mar-22 10:12 PM

R!S gave me hand cramps

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 10:52 PM

General format for creating abilities: One general ability/ability set relating to the character One ability/ability set relating to their role or intent + The general ability provided by their role (edited)

Original message was deleted or could not be loaded.

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 10:52 PM

Pinned a message.

Just gonna pin that

because

uh

because

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 10:52 PM

that works! we could extend the general ability to two if we have extra ideas

But with this amount of characters, I think such a structure is gonna be necessary for keeping us within a reasonable scope

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 10:53 PM

I mean, I'm also calling it the general format for a reason

It's our game we're allowed to deviate from it

lol

Nikola Orsinov

But with this amount of characters, I think such a structure is gonna be necessary for keeping us within a reasonable scope

Kurukuru 10-Mar-22 10:54 PM

also YES this is essential to keep in mind

Amalgam 10-Mar-22 11:10 PM

Character: Orion Pisces Player: Amalgam Special Item: Pendant A small gift Matchstick bought you back at the Showerlights Festival when you first met. It looks like it’s made of gold but really it’s just nickel, you still hold near and dear as you wear it around your neck. He engraved it with a small poem on the back to personalize it.

Though tonight We see the falling lights The brightest Shine is from Your eyes. <3 -Match

Otherwise it does nothing special but remind you that though you’re far apart now, you’ll still love each other when you’re back together.

Nikola Orsinov 10-Mar-22 11:12 PM

Gay (edited)

Amalgam 10-Mar-22 11:12 PM

Of course

I want to give him this item so I have reason to bring it up in character

Orion has such garage rock stoner vibes

What a simple wardrobe choice does to a character design

Coyote Smith 11-Mar-22 12:03 AM

Wait do npcs make their own roles?

Amalgam 11-Mar-22 12:03 AM

If you wanna

I was just bored

We need pr

Kurukuru 11-Mar-22 01:15 AM

im so confused

genuinely

what

are they talking about

Coyote Smith 11-Mar-22 02:10 AM

What

Just ask them for the best clarification

Kurukuru 11-Mar-22 03:16 AM

WAIT I GET IT

OH

MY GOD

OK SO

The funnyman made a joke about someone slipping on a bananna peel

Trainee chef, in response to the joke, made it their action to trip on a banana peel

like 20 hours later, the rollover happens, trainee chef trips, and syne now is under the misconception that it happened because of their in-rp comments

WTF ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT

IM

GENUINELY SO CONFUSED

I still have no idea

Kurukuru 11-Mar-22 03:33 AM

ok I think I resoved it

GOD D-

This is True!

Kurukuru 11-Mar-22 03:47 AM

I think I explained this pretty effectively?

Nikola Orsinov 11-Mar-22 08:11 AM

I still have no idea what happened

Nikola Orsinov

I still have no idea what happened

Kurukuru 11-Mar-22 04:50 PM

basically this + syne was confused about discerning between one-off gags and more serious mechanics in objective

Because apparently they were able to change the key of the map in pirate game due to a side-effect of one of their actions, but wasn't allowed to do so again by the gms

Nikola Orsinov 11-Mar-22 04:51 PM

ooooh right

Kurukuru 11-Mar-22 04:54 PM

okay yeah it went from this

to this

So I can see where the confusion stems from ig?

Nikola Orsinov 12-Mar-22 03:31 PM

I kind of want to write up profiles properly for the ones we've done

so we can mark them off

Kurukuru 12-Mar-22 03:37 PM

Alright. Would you like a hand? I can get onto my laptop in ~15 mins

unrelated but

what are your thoughts on the cinematographer base ability?

I feel like being able to record something every phase is way too much, but having it limited to an action would have it see basically 0 use

I was thinking about putting it on, like, a 1 phase cooldown

Nikola Orsinov 12-Mar-22 03:41 PM

hm yeah, that makes sense to me

Nikola Orsinov 12-Mar-22 04:47 PM

ok an hour after i said that imma start doing it

Nikola Orsinov 12-Mar-22 05:43 PM

ive typed up all the ones im sure about

which is...

7 people!

good progress so far

Kurukuru 12-Mar-22 07:33 PM

Oh shoot, missed your message!

Sorry, woulda helped

Amalgam 12-Mar-22 10:43 PM

11 people must die

Coyote Smith 12-Mar-22 10:55 PM

Good

Amalgam 12-Mar-22 10:55 PM

I hope people get killed this game

With how rare murder has been lately

Get up those crime rates!!

Woooooo brazil!

@Nikola Orsinov is the theater down in brazil?

Kurukuru 13-Mar-22 12:58 AM

Random thought, but I was thinking about implementing a mechanic where some characters who are more familiar with the arcane/eldritch could have a few bonus interactions?

Like better navigating the backrooms and/or maybe some other stuff.

so that'd be, like, zoe, sado, nyarlathotep, problem sleuth if he has a high enough imagination, patches, no-face, ninetails, tatari, and it'd be funny if godot would get it by drinking enough coffee

but my point is

it's a decent enough chunk of the cast that we could turn it into a cool mechanic?

I just don't know if that would be reasonable to execute in a way that's balanced for characters that don't have that ability

cuz like

I don't want to lock like half the playerbase out of a mechanic lmao

Kurukuru 13-Mar-22 02:26 AM

```

__**Character:**__ __**Player:**__ __**Objective:**__ __**Ability: **__

More for myself if anything lol

Kurukuru

Random thought, but I was thinking about implementing a mechanic where some characters who are more familiar with the arcane/eldritch could have a few bonus interactions?

Nikola Orsinov 13-Mar-22 05:31 AM

perhaps it could be something that's better as an emergent thing rather than a narrative

like. instead of tipping our hand and telling them about it in profiles, we just make it more likely for them to run across stuff like that as part of rollover

Nikola Orsinov 14-Mar-22 02:10 PM

when I get home I'm gonna. type up as many profiles as I can. cause I'm worried we aren't going fast enough skfsjfjs

Wario Land 4 music- Hurry Up!

Nikola Orsinov 14-Mar-22 02:14 PM

LMAO

I'm just aware we're on something of a time limit cause of when zels game starts

Amalgam 14-Mar-22 02:25 PM

damnit zel

Nikola Orsinov

when I get home I'm gonna. type up as many profiles as I can. cause I'm worried we aren't going fast enough skfsjfjs

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 02:27 PM

I've got pretty long road trip today, so I'm most likely just going to plug through as much as I can.

but yeah I was concerned about that too

Kurukuru

I've got pretty long road trip today, so I'm most likely just going to plug through as much as I can.

Nikola Orsinov 14-Mar-22 02:28 PM

cool, thanks!

profiles are the hardest part of design haha

I much prefer doing areas

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 02:30 PM

I mean I honestly find profiles more fun

areas are just a struggle because. I don't have good ideas and designing them often just feels like filling space (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 14-Mar-22 02:32 PM

I really like writing them up, and thinking of cool things to fit in them

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 02:32 PM

huh!

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 02:59 PM

I'm just gonna be throwing a lot of ideas against the wall, for better or worse

idk how good my connection is gonna be

so I might end up doing it all on notepad and actually posting it when I have a reliable connection

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 04:48 PM

WHERE

DISCOED SAYS I HAVE A PING HERE

WHERE

Nikola Orsinov 14-Mar-22 04:49 PM

huh???

maybe in an archived channel?

you can check your mentions

Nikola Orsinov

you can check your mentions

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 04:50 PM

I have so many pings mentions literally doesn't work for me

Nikola Orsinov 14-Mar-22 04:50 PM

oh my fucking god i forgot about your ping count

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 04:54 PM

discord has legitimately just given up on me

it will load for ~1 minute, then just send me to this screen no matter what mentions I have lmao

Nikola Orsinov 14-Mar-22 04:55 PM

twenty six thousand one hundred and ninety two

how

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 04:55 PM

ping issue tbh

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 06:19 PM

btw, what's your idea for game start?

ive been meaning to ask, and the general discussion reminded me

I was thinking Wednesday-thursday would work quite well, assuming we can hit the deadline

actually, I'd like/hope to go for a test game Wednesday, then game on Thursday

I think a test game would def be nice for me

I don't feel completely confident in my ability to work the bot just yet.

esp with how much has changed

Kurukuru

actually, I'd like/hope to go for a test game Wednesday, then game on Thursday

Nikola Orsinov 14-Mar-22 06:23 PM

that totally works for me!

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 06:24 PM

Awesome!

I'd def tend against starting Friday, that's the one other day I'm going to be inconsistently available.

And I would very much rather be at max availability for game start

Nikola Orsinov 14-Mar-22 06:26 PM

that makes sense! thursday sounds good then

Amalgam 14-Mar-22 10:06 PM

Looking at brine talk about playing Nyarlathotep as a hypothetical like

Nikola Orsinov 14-Mar-22 10:07 PM

YEAH LOL

I feel like both me and ori reacting funnily may have been a slight giveaway but noone noticed

Kurukuru 14-Mar-22 10:08 PM

yeah

I realized like a moment too late that thet might not have been a good idea after you already reacted lol

Kurukuru 15-Mar-22 12:49 AM

hey uh

do you think

we should formally announce the planned start date for the game?

I realize you're prob asleep rn, so just answer when you can.

Coyote Smith 15-Mar-22 01:20 AM

What is the day

Kurukuru

actually, I'd like/hope to go for a test game Wednesday, then game on Thursday

Kurukuru 15-Mar-22 02:04 AM

Thursday.

Coyote Smith 15-Mar-22 02:12 AM

Neat

Nikola Orsinov 15-Mar-22 07:16 AM

I was originally a little worried about whether we'd make it or not, but seeing the amount of work we've done, I think we should

Kurukuru 15-Mar-22 02:36 PM

btw, today is gonna be the day I'm a good bit less available

That I discussed like 3ish weeks ago when we were deciding if we wanted to host now

Nikola Orsinov 15-Mar-22 02:37 PM

that's fine! I'll use the ideas you put down yesterday and get as much written up as I can

Kurukuru 15-Mar-22 02:39 PM

so uh, I give you full permission to finalize & design stuff without me, (obviously) I'd just prefer for profiles not to be sent out until I can at least look over everything

Big thanks!

Nikola Orsinov 15-Mar-22 02:44 PM

oh of course akfksfks. wasnt even thinking about sending stuff out till late tomorrow

1

Nikola Orsinov 15-Mar-22 05:30 PM

ive done. as much as i can

i might need some help with the last five

Nikola Orsinov 15-Mar-22 06:29 PM

@Kurukuru what time do u want to do test game? rollover time?

Kurukuru 15-Mar-22 06:29 PM

yeah

that makes the most sense to me

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 08:55 AM

good news I have no lessons today

so I'll load everything into the bot

won't send profiles till you've check everything

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 11:18 AM

map thoughts

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 11:27 AM

objectives to keep in mind:

For tonight, bring down the curtain on the name of "Night of Wallachia" and obtain The Sixth.

Get Paid

Find the Hex and become real

Attain wealth and peace.

Bring about some kind of miracle (and enjoy some dried plum black tea. while I'm at it)

Find and loot a village, go to hell, and slay the Ender Dragon. Additionally, don't die.

goddamn players making social objectives

additonally

coffee for Godot

crystals for BSA

ink of squid pro quo, alcohol, hot sauce for cath

cooking for sib

plug sockets for plasman desks for sleuth (edited)

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 01:06 PM

Pinned a message.

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 01:16 PM

looking at botlog

we sure have a lot of abilities that mimic other abilities

now I'm imagining like

two face with nagisa's learning ability

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 01:17 PM

oh god

we have.. 3?

two face, nagisa, dt

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 01:18 PM

yeah

I was expecting like

1

calling it right here though

Can't wait for the influx of people in vault saying "oh my god my ability set is overpowered"

when we release profiles

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 01:25 PM

LOL

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 03:04 PM

@Kurukuru you good with sending profiles? any last minute changes u wanna make?

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 03:06 PM

I'm good! Ready to send.

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 03:25 PM

yo @Kurukuru iirc you had the clarifications for what exactly dreams group objective was in your DMs with winter?

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 03:27 PM

I don't think it got changed?

I think it's in the pinned messages

and we decided not to change it

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 03:29 PM

oh lol i was just looking in the wrong places

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 03:31 PM

btw thanks for handling the bot stuff again

it is suffering on a mobile device

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 03:32 PM

haha lol i expected that

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 04:32 PM

OH GOD OH GOD

IM TERRIFIED TO CLICK ON THIS (edited)

Gonna say that he'll be informed whenever someone in vault or as a spectator laughs

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 04:40 PM

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 04:53 PM

oh thats smart. i hadnt thought of contagious laughter proccing essence

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 05:16 PM

it's an inventory system, right?

in shambles

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 05:22 PM

AKFJDJF

ya theyre just items

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 05:25 PM

I-

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 05:38 PM

a bridge between heaven and hell?

already did that

Amalgam 16-Mar-22 05:40 PM

????????

wha

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 05:46 PM

hehe

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 07:15 PM

thoughts on dreams objective: by digging up areas, opens a path to purgatory, which is both a village and next to hell. AB and Garfield fucking hate dream so they use their king powers to summon an ender dragon to blow him up. defeating the ender dragon lets him get to hell and then return

Amalgam 16-Mar-22 07:15 PM

good thought

wait what's the map (edited)

Nikola Orsinov

map thoughts

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 07:16 PM

tentatively, this

Amalgam 16-Mar-22 07:18 PM

woah

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 07:19 PM

arriving in purgatory would be so funny cause of how insanely fucked it is at the end of pandae

the void is replaced by clouds, the dawn machine has crashed into the village, and theres a dead tree everywhere

Amalgam 16-Mar-22 07:21 PM

fun!!

could they jump down into france from there?

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 07:22 PM

nah, the opening closed at the end of the game

Amalgam 16-Mar-22 07:22 PM

:(

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 07:23 PM

although like

im kind of imagining that

the hunters converge in purgatory whilst dream fights the ender dragon

and it becomes a three way boss fight

maybe it could end with them throwing him into france

Amalgam 16-Mar-22 07:24 PM

oh god I just realized that I gave Aureus the same color scheme as the ender dragon ;-;

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 07:24 PM

cause whilst if anyone who dies in the theatre gets kicked into the maze the afterlife isnt in the theatre

Amalgam 16-Mar-22 07:24 PM

Aureus is just the ender dragon how did I miss this

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 07:24 PM

bwhaahaha

Amalgam 16-Mar-22 07:24 PM

Purple and Black ✅ Dragon ✅ Very Hard to Kill ✅

Somewhere in a dimension separate from our own doing their own thing ✅

headcanoning Aureus as the ender dragon Dream has to kill brb

Nikola Orsinov

thoughts on dreams objective: by digging up areas, opens a path to purgatory, which is both a village and next to hell. AB and Garfield fucking hate dream so they use their king powers to summon an ender dragon to blow him up. defeating the ender dragon lets him get to hell and then return

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 08:41 PM

Yeah I can see this working

Though, what if the ender dragon was a more global threat?

Like if dream doesn't address it immediately it escapes to the stage

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 09:35 PM

WAIT HOLY SHIT

BERNKASTEL CAN MEET ERIKA

BWAJAJAJSDGFSDKGHDFKH

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 09:35 PM

PPPPPFPFDFRDDDDD

Nikola Orsinov 16-Mar-22 09:36 PM

im half imagining at this point that like

half the playerbase will just fall down into the afterlife

Kurukuru 16-Mar-22 09:38 PM

it genuinely just becomes pandae 2

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 01:37 PM

all that's left to do is

-areadescs -make special items and hand them out -choose who starts where

-set up rules -areaimages

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 02:05 PM

alright! I'm gonna get coffee, then I'll start on areadescs.

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 02:10 PM

Cool! I'll be able to do stuff in an hour or so when I get home

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 02:44 PM

man area descriptions are my least favorite part

I just. Run out of ideas

lmao

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 02:56 PM

dyou wanna do rules and items in the bot

I can handle areas

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 03:01 PM

Alright! What rules do we even need to do?

Nothing comes to mind off the top of my head, though I'm almost definitely not thinking of smth

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 03:18 PM

Not giving out items yet because I'm not sure if it would ping and I don't wanna ping people if I made a mistake lol

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 03:21 PM

superbs moveinstant to key

1

doesn't ping for pregame items

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 03:29 PM

gonna petsit for neighbors, will be unavailable for ~30 mins

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 03:29 PM

cool! I'm almost home

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 03:30 PM

gonna say yes to both

cuz I don't see why not lol

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 03:31 PM

both of these seem reasonable yeah

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 03:46 PM

back to my pc

gonna start ninetails off with one unit of paint btw

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 03:52 PM

sounds good

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 03:56 PM

uh?

Just got this on running a !profiles

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 03:58 PM

oh no

send that to ahmayk

ok so we have two objectives to design properly

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:03 PM

Considering starting dream off with an iron sword, since I'd be concerned about him getting ganged up on early

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:04 PM

Sado - Find the Hex and become real TATARI - Obtain the Sixth

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:04 PM

I still don't understand tatari's objective

Kurukuru

Considering starting dream off with an iron sword, since I'd be concerned about him getting ganged up on early

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:04 PM

yeah we can put that in his starting area? we should take care to start him away from the hunters

Kurukuru

I still don't understand tatari's objective

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:04 PM

literally noone does

Nikola Orsinov

yeah we can put that in his starting area? we should take care to start him away from the hunters

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:05 PM

That checks out!

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:07 PM

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:12 PM

@Nikola Orsinov How is the hex obtained in its base game?

Because I was. thinking. What if the hex is only obtaining by sado finding some way to bug the game?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:14 PM

thats basically how it is

a long series of quests through different games, setting up people in just the right way that they can find and activate the hex

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:14 PM

OH LOL

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:15 PM

so i agree that. it should be hidden somehow

bug out, escape to the maze, and its... there

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:15 PM

I think it would be neat if sado wasn't the only one who could potentially get the hex?

But they had absolutely the easiest means of doing so

Nikola Orsinov

bug out, escape to the maze, and its... there

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:16 PM

Yeah! I was thinking to could be hidden either DEEP in the maze (requiring some creative movement to get to) or, like, in an out of bounds area

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:16 PM

if we put it in the maze then we can hint that people can use the stage mechanics to escape the theatre or sado could use her glitchiness to teleport out

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:17 PM

please

I was kinda trying to hint towards there being something outside of the theatre? So you either use the maze to escape, or you could find other means to get out

t- like an hour and a half until gamestart

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:22 PM

i was gonna hint with

in the lobby

the doors are gonna be closed and barred

heavily implying theres something behind

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:24 PM

Makes sense!

I was hinting with something dripping from the ceiling of the rafters

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:25 PM

yeah i noticed that too (edited)

Kurukuru

t- like an hour and a half until gamestart

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 04:25 PM

Can i send the goons in general this?

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:26 PM

yeah?

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 04:26 PM

Kk

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:27 PM

wait its

two and a half hours

goddamn daylight savings

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:27 PM

wait

OH DANGIT

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:28 PM

i was intending at 17-Mar-22 07:00 PM

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 04:28 PM

LMAO

YEAH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS MESSED ME UP

Yeah you can send that in announcements

Btw @Nikola Orsinov I changed the cat claws to be nonvisible, and gave kuro a duffel bag to hide them in (since that's what he does in-cannon iirc, and I figured him starting off with a visible and powerful weapon would probably do a LOT to hurt his rep that he's trying to build lol

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:33 PM

OH thats fair

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 04:59 PM

i was thinking of doing something funny for the stage

the two of us and josie start there ofc, and noone else?

but also

have the stage start off with nothing really on

so as plays start up using player made props and stuff taken from the dressing room and the backstage

the stage mechanic hits in

adding stuff to both the outer areas, and developing the stage itself

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 05:00 PM

Yeah!

Actually, are we going to include the tree as part of the area?

Because of the tree's passive, it's not like it can be overwritten

So it could be pretty funny for, like, other set designers to be able to interact with it

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:01 PM

yeah i was planning on putting it in the areadesc

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 05:01 PM

Sounds great!

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:03 PM

are we view connecting the audience and the stage?

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 05:06 PM

I'd say we'd better

It only makes sense

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:06 PM

yeah, im hesitant to use views cause of how stressful they can be, but it really does make sense here

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:14 PM

starting areas - i dont want to put everyone next to the stage, otherwise p2 is gonna be hell

so, starting areas - lobby, bar, audience, dressingroom?

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 05:15 PM

Yeah, that makes sense to me!

Wait, do we really want the stage to be able to view the audience?

That sets up a 2-way communication (edited)

on a similar topic, I was thinking about people in the rafters being able to spy on people in the audience

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 05:30 PM

What more is there to do?

I feel like we're just about ready

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:32 PM

i like that spy actually

i... yeah, maybe we can do without the two way view

one way only

added both of those

Kurukuru

What more is there to do?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:34 PM

arrange players is all i can think of

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 05:49 PM

gonna do a repeat of the pregame area brainstorming

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:49 PM

Zepia Eltnam Oberon Spark Omen Ninetales Funnyman - Bar Bravocat - Audience No-Face Max Bialystok - Lobby Entoma Vasilissa Zeta Spy Abraham Lincoln Phanto Mask Patches Tree - Stage, can view ?

(edited)

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:51 PM

i think that

we should essentially take the roles and scramble them up

so each area has director prop set cinematographer 3/4 actors

but not in the starting combination

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 05:52 PM

Do we have a list of who's what role?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:53 PM

we can painfully extract it from profiles

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 05:54 PM

On it rn

Directors: Bravocat Max Funnyman Emet Selch Cameramen: Trainee Chef Sado Bernkastel (do we only have three? Who are we missing) Prop Designers: Zoe Robbie Rotten Kuro Omen Set Designers: Tree Mask Sparky Ninetails OBNOXIOUS: Max Stirner Actors: Spark No-Face Entoma Vasilissa Zeta Spy Abraham Lincoln Patches Nagisa Furukawa Godot Solus Zos Galvus Dream Valvatti Garcian Smith Problem Sleuth Jay Finch Double Trouble (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:56 PM

we do, in one area people just didnt pick camera

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 05:57 PM

Oh, that's right

And then everyone else is an actor

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 05:58 PM

cool thanks for getting that

ok so hm.

emet selch backstage, funnyman in bar, max in lobby, bravocat in audience

Original message was deleted or could not be loaded.

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:01 PM

Pinned a message.

Tree goes onstage, max stirner can go to wherever the tree would have been

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:05 PM

no uhh

tree needs to start viewing somewhere

sado backstage, chef in audience, bern in bar

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:09 PM

So that could be Mask in the bar, Sparky in the lobby, Ninetails in the dressing room, and Max Stirner the audience, with the tree starting with viewing the audience.

That make sense/work? (edited)

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:23 PM

Gonna say zoe in the bar, Robbie in the dressing room, Klahadore in the audience, and Omen in the lobby

And that's all of the special roles

Gonna put that in the bot rq

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:29 PM

sorry, im back

was eating dinnner

lol ive just realised i got backstage and dressing room confused

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:31 PM

lol

Nikola Orsinov

lol ive just realised i got backstage and dressing room confused

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:33 PM

oh wait, if that's the case then the people in the lobby and the dressing room need to be switched

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:33 PM

wait why?

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:33 PM

I thought that you were confusing it for the lobby

So like

Sado is in the lobby

When you wanted them in the dressing room?

Not a big deal either way

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:34 PM

no i just meant. i replaced dressing room with backstage verbally

everyone the same in actual concepts tho

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:34 PM

alright?

moving on, now we have the actors

I still wanna put dream in the same area as the mask

Spark can go in the lobby, no face can go to the audience I'd say

Abraham lincoln would be funny in the audience too

Gonna put godot in the bar, since that serves to demonstrate that he can find coffee in the wild

Nagisa can go in the dressing room

I'll put entoma in the bar too

Spy can absolutely go to the dressing room, that only makes sense

Kurukuru

I still wanna put dream in the same area as the mask

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:39 PM

adfjksdjg

Kurukuru

Abraham lincoln would be funny in the audience too

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:39 PM

i was thinking that

yo @NPC is there anywhere in particular you wanna start?

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:41 PM

Patches can go uuh lobby

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 06:41 PM

where does spark start?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:41 PM

lobby

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 06:42 PM

mmm

throw me backstage for now (edited)

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:42 PM

Solus I'd put in the audience (or maybe bar

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:42 PM

got it

Amalgam

throw me backstage for now (edited)

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:42 PM

that is NOT AN OPTION

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 06:42 PM

what

why

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:42 PM

amal do you want to go audience

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 06:42 PM

oh sure

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:42 PM

dressingroom we can put elle

then garcian in bar

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:42 PM

aight

Problem sleuth absolutely goes bar lol

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:43 PM

definitely haha

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:43 PM

Jay finch can just go dressing room again

and honestly maybe double trouble too

Actually putting them both in the lobby

We need more people there

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:44 PM

then the only areas with room are lobby and dressingroom

oh lol

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:45 PM

then uuuh who's even left

valvatti?

Moving entoma to the dressing room, and putting valvatti in the audience

7 + 7 + 8 + 7 + 1

that's 30 peeps

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:47 PM

I guess we could move uuh no-face to the dressing room?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:50 PM

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:50 PM

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:51 PM

https://tenor.com/view/emetselch-gif-24116231

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:54 PM

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:54 PM

ok so.

we still have not decided how zel will achieve her objective

we can do that mid-p1 its fine

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:55 PM

Forgot patches in the lobby

where would spark go?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:56 PM

according to the list hes lobby (edited)

we put sparky and spark in the same area LMAO

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:56 PM

OH MY GOD

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 06:57 PM

YOOOO

sparky is bamboo

sooo

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 06:57 PM

ok so we're missing tatari and bydo system alpha

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 06:58 PM

ok

throw BSA in the area with the least

or else just throw them with me

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 06:58 PM

BSA in bar, tatari in audience?

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 06:59 PM

okay

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:02 PM

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:03 PM

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:06 PM

True!

@Nikola Orsinov OH WAIT WE FORGOT TO MANIFEST ZEL AS, LIKE, THEATRE RUMORS

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:07 PM

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:07 PM

Oh lol

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:15 PM

I need to eat lunch

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:16 PM

hahah yeah im taking a break to play elden ring

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:16 PM

(not an unrealistic scenario)

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:16 PM

this is stressful

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:17 PM

eh?

elden ring?

Or the game lmao

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:17 PM

ajrfjsdgjkshj no, just

setting up the game

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:17 PM

OH

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:17 PM

itll all be fine once everyones started up and it HASNT blown up (edited)

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:17 PM

we absolutely should have just given ourselves 2 more days tbh

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:18 PM

rushing areadescs in 3 hours is not the greatest decision i have ever made

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:18 PM

YEAH I'm sorry

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:18 PM

nah its not your fault lol

i have. a tendency to overwork myself when it comes to objective

Nikola Orsinov

i have. a tendency to overwork myself when it comes to objective

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:19 PM

I will keep that in mind and. come to your house if I find you overworking yourself

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:19 PM

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 07:19 PM

wait are earlogs working?

or do we NPCs not get earlog rights in the full game

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:20 PM

earlogs look like they're working

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:20 PM

just got them working

you have to do it manually

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:20 PM

they look like they're working?

Nikola Orsinov

just got them working

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:21 PM

OH LNAO

YOU JUST FIXED IT

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:27 PM

yooooo strings taken already

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 07:27 PM

WOOO

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:31 PM

im leaning towards he has to tell them

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 07:33 PM

???

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:33 PM

lower case i think

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:33 PM

Nikola Orsinov

Click to see attachment 🖼️

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:34 PM

My take is they don't know until they're told or they inspect the strings

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:35 PM

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 07:36 PM

Have we written the pamphlets yet or no?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:36 PM

not yet

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 07:37 PM

Alright

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:37 PM

the text inside will likely change for everyone who reads it

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:39 PM

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 07:40 PM

Wait!!

We forgot the necklace!!

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:40 PM

necklace?

Amalgam

Character: Orion Pisces Player: Amalgam Special Item: Pendant A small gift Matchstick bought you back at the Showerlights Festival when you first met. It looks like it’s made of gold but really it’s just nickel, you still hold near and dear as you wear it around your neck. He engraved it with a small poem on the back to personalize it.

Though tonight We see the falling lights The brightest Shine is from Your eyes. <3 -Match

Otherwise it does nothing special but remind you that though you’re far apart now, you’ll still love each other when you’re back together.

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 07:41 PM

The pendant

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:41 PM

oop lol

you can just bring it up in RP for now

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 07:41 PM

Ye

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 07:41 PM

ill add it

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 07:59 PM

wait uh

how did solus end up in the audience

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 08:00 PM

He did

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:00 PM

I thought he was supposed to be in the dressing room

I think we need to just run with it at this point

but uh

i don't think that was intentional

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:12 PM

Definitely my mistake looking over it

I mistakenly marked him down as an actor at one point

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:13 PM

eh, its no big deal

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:36 PM

wh

what???

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 08:36 PM

Huhhh

How

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:37 PM

SPEEDRUN DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN DO ANYTHING

THATS

JSDFGJDFHJDFJH

im losing my mind

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 08:38 PM

They speedran our first fukcing problem

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:39 PM

LMAO

but also very true

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:48 PM

alright gonna message dream

wait they changed their action

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:48 PM

YES

TO SOMETHING EVEN WORSE

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:49 PM

WHAT AM I

WHAT ARE WE

SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT THIS

God I wish we had like

zel or ahmayk here

We're way to flexible with the rules

It's hard to draw lines

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:50 PM

we need the courage to just step in and say no lol

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:50 PM

^

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:50 PM

but this is DEFINITELY across a line

the line being

"there is absolutely no diagect way for you to do this"

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:51 PM

That makes sense.

I guess

Worth saying

Apparently this might just be winter's approach to, like, this game?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:51 PM

it used to be my philosophy that id let a player do anything, even if it made no sense

after cowritten

ive changed my mind

Kurukuru

Apparently this might just be winter's approach to, like, this game?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:52 PM

then wed better nip it in the bud right as the game starts

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:52 PM

OH GOD DANG IT

I CANT DEAL WITH TWO AT ONCE

GOD

FUNNYMAN JUMPSCARE

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:52 PM

ksdfksdgkfhkdfkh

its his pfp

i cant take it seriously

its terrifying

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:52 PM

GENUINELY THE MOST MENACING THING

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:52 PM

do you want me to handle winter whilst you take him

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:52 PM

HOLY SHID

NONONO HOLD ON

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 08:53 PM

Just go into dms and tell her "hey you can't do that."

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:53 PM

OUR SAVIOR

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 08:53 PM

PROVIDENCE BLESS THEE SYNE

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:53 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:53 PM

THIS IS SO GOOD

IM

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 08:53 PM

Let him

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:53 PM

LMFAO

I 100% LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:54 PM

thats incredibly funny but uhh

we should probably still speak to winter too

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 08:54 PM

Yeah

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 08:56 PM

Yeah gonna talk to winter

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 08:56 PM

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 08:57 PM

"Yeah usually not but we are letting you since you're solving the problem for us."

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 09:06 PM

Alright sent winter the dm

Just wrote a small paragraph about how we basically need to balance for everyone in the game, not just one person

they responded by saying "that's fair"

I-

???

why

are you playing

then?

OH MY GOD. This is a difficult situation

Because if dream drops

Beagle doesn't have an objective

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Amalgam 17-Mar-22 09:12 PM

If dream drops beagles objective uhhh

Autocompletes?

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 09:12 PM

eeh

Either that or I discuss it with him

I could see it just being changed to, like, "kill someone who I don't like"

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 09:14 PM

I-

I'm sorry???

winter sets up this entire thing for seven fucking people

and then casually goes "oh yeah I want to leave lol"

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 09:15 PM

this is. not what I imagined when they said they wanted to push the limits of the game.

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 09:15 PM

"haha yeah fuck you I want to ruin your game"

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 09:15 PM

Yeah uh

this is

baffling

I'm gonna tell them they're free to leave if they're not having fun

because in the end that's really just the best solution

hey! This is an action I can get behind!

@Nikola Orsinov just wanna double check with you b/c I'm kind of on edge here, but I'm honestly feeling like giving her the okay here

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 09:18 PM

change her role?

that's... fine? I guess?

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 09:18 PM

I was thinking we could give her, like. A slightly nerfed/reworked prop designer adjacent ability?

Like she actually needs the materials

But then what she crafts is an actual item, rather than a prop

I really just hope this isn't a "give an inch and they'll take a mile" situation

gaaaah alright I'm gonna give it a moment and just. take a breather.

alriiiiight that was more than I was expecting for. 2 hours into p1

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 09:32 PM

current mood is

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 09:32 PM

bwhahahaha

god. plz take a break lol

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 09:46 PM

?????????

what do you MEAN historically speaking

you have dropped like

3 consecutive games

Elle Woods 17-Mar-22 09:55 PM

Heyy I just got back from work

What did I miss?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 09:56 PM

hahaha

games started

its gone pretty smoothly!

most notable stuff is uh

people trying to manipulate the puppet

and uh, winter being. interesting

Elle Woods 17-Mar-22 09:56 PM

Hmm ok

I wanted to ask a bit more abt what I should be doing as an npc now that the game has started?

Elle Woods

I wanted to ask a bit more abt what I should be doing as an npc now that the game has started?

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 09:59 PM

As of right now, not much tbh? You could offer tips for people's objectives, or hint towards the stage being more than it might seem if it ever comes up.

Otherwise you're kind of like

a guide

so I suppose if anything you could clarify that people can ask you questions

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 10:00 PM

feel free to chat and get to know everyone like the players are doing

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 10:00 PM

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 10:00 PM

mostly you can act just like a player, you just gotta be helpful whenever the opportunity comes up

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 10:00 PM

Yeah! At this stage you're basically a player with bonus lore/map knowledge

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 10:01 PM

dont wanna spoil anything for the players tho - tell them they can ask you questions, but only give info they ask for

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 10:01 PM

yeah exactly

The key thing is just going off what the players are currently doing

Elle Woods 17-Mar-22 10:02 PM

OK thank you sm

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 10:03 PM

yeah no problem!

That's definitely an easier question to answer than what we just had lol

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 10:03 PM

hope u have fun haha. we don't wanna be too strict on NPCs, mostly it should just be a chill experience without the rush for an objective

1

Elle Woods 17-Mar-22 10:04 PM

That sounds great ty :)

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 10:15 PM

1/3 of the players are plans within plans within plans 1/3 are KILL 1/3 are haha hehe hoohoo

exactly what we wanted

Elle Woods 17-Mar-22 10:17 PM

True balance

Nikola Orsinov

1/3 of the players are plans within plans within plans 1/3 are KILL 1/3 are haha hehe hoohoo

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 10:19 PM

I assume you're leaving the outlier of JAY FINCH who is LITERALLY JUST THERE and SIMULTANEOUSLY THE GREATEST CHARACTER OF ALL TIME

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 10:20 PM

HE HASNT SAID ANYTHING

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 10:21 PM

BASED

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 10:26 PM

are they actually going to put on fucking SAO abridged

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 10:59 PM

ahaha

wait what did bam post?

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 11:06 PM

gif that made it look like there was a huge fuckin spider on your screen

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 11:10 PM

OH

yeah good call deleting that lol

thx

Nikola Orsinov 17-Mar-22 11:12 PM

I only did cause I turned around and jumped out of my fuckin skin

Kurukuru 17-Mar-22 11:12 PM

Oh geez

Coyote Smith 17-Mar-22 11:48 PM

I was gone for a bit lmao I missed the opening

But here we go

Kurukuru 18-Mar-22 12:39 AM

n-

no?

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 05:30 AM

No.

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 07:59 AM

no

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 08:10 AM

people really do be speedrunning their arcs

We probably shouldn't have started Bern and PS in the bar (edited)

Considering just what they need is there

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 08:11 AM

oof

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 08:15 AM

it's fine - with ps we can balance it out by having him get both alcohol and hot sauce a few times to balance his stats and with clowder, that was just a little sub objective

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 09:32 AM

why has zel not said a thing yet

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 09:53 AM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 10:42 AM

@dream

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 10:48 AM

LOL

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 10:50 AM

y'know if we have to godkill them for any reason pls let this be the method

Kurukuru 18-Mar-22 01:26 PM

honestly not too unlikely at the rate things are going

Nikola Orsinov

We probably shouldn't have started Bern and PS in the bar (edited)

Kurukuru 18-Mar-22 01:27 PM

yeah that's fair

just a heads up - as I've said before, today is going to be the other day I'm mostly unavailable.

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 01:33 PM

oh alright

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 01:35 PM

thats fine!

amal, would you be able to help me with rollover?

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 01:41 PM

sure

not like I have anything better to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 03:32 PM

CATHODE IS SABOTAGING HIS OWN OBJECTIVE

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 03:35 PM

how

what is he doing

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 03:36 PM

I hope the metanarrative bullshit dies off quickly

it's... not great storytelling imo

I'm worried the other players might get bored

Coyote Smith 18-Mar-22 03:38 PM

Nah I think he should keep it going

I think whether or not it tells a good story is irrelevant

The only thing that matters is what outcome it causes

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 03:39 PM

the outcome is a mental breakdown

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 03:41 PM

the outcome is likely just

cath does this for a while then the novelty wears off (edited)

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 03:41 PM

that's lame

Coyote Smith 18-Mar-22 03:44 PM

My biggest question right now is do I bring in the rest of the smiths later down the line

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 03:47 PM

do you want to?

Coyote Smith 18-Mar-22 03:47 PM

Idk maybe

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 04:01 PM

I have no clue what to put as my action

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 04:02 PM

dont feel like you have to have one as a npc

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 04:14 PM

cath trying to predict what would happen upon him reaching the imaginary world

i like this a lot

but

im not going to just give him pasqualo

hes going to have to descend into hell alongside dream to find him

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 04:17 PM

pasq went to france

sooooooo

Coyote Smith 18-Mar-22 04:18 PM

What's the difference

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 04:18 PM

france is locked off now

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 04:18 PM

waitwaitwaitwait

what if.

pandae death is the same person as problem sleuth death

and they do the problem sleuth trick - distract him with board games to let pasq sneak out of france

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 04:19 PM

interesting

for sure

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 04:27 PM

aw man having to do rollover is giving me flashbacks

Coyote Smith 18-Mar-22 04:28 PM

I can help if needed

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 04:32 PM

tysm pablo

i can do it myself

itll just. take a while

i can do the actual narration i might just need yall to help with the bot and stuff

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 04:33 PM

aight that's uh

better

R!S has led to me being banned from writing rollovers ever again

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 04:34 PM

youre too hard on yourself

i enjoyed rs

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 04:35 PM

also I just hate writing rollovers tbh

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 04:35 PM

fair!

i absolutely adore it

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 04:36 PM

It's so much work and I'm scared to have people get mad at me

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 05:04 PM

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 05:06 PM

I swear to god

so many people want us dead for no reason

I need a weapon

Coyote Smith 18-Mar-22 05:21 PM

I get to die 7 times

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 05:22 PM

almost a cat

garcian is garfield?!?!1

Kurukuru 18-Mar-22 05:51 PM

hello. I have like. Almost reception.

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 05:51 PM

yooo

hia

Kurukuru 18-Mar-22 05:52 PM

Idk what I'm accomplishing by saying this here there's still basically no way I can reasonably rollover an area

ig to say I'm semi on fall if something goes wrong?

also tysm again

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 06:05 PM

would it be griefing to spread a rumor about Tatari being a little bitch?

oh my god so many want me dead on basis of prejudice alone

Kurukuru 18-Mar-22 06:19 PM

wait holy

Things went really fast + well

I might actually be available for rollover

or at least like

following the first 15-30 mins of rollover

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 06:29 PM

hey nice!

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 06:41 PM

shoutouts to koo and beagle for not saying or doing a thing

Amalgam 18-Mar-22 06:42 PM

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 06:43 PM

that's just

no coffee packet

couch with wheels

Nikola Orsinov 18-Mar-22 08:34 PM

i thought that was the implication sdfksdkghsh

Kurukuru 18-Mar-22 08:35 PM

I mean that works too

no big deal either way lol

Did lobby

idea is that the black liquid is coffee residue

from alpha absorbing the coffee packet

BACKSTAGE Whilst the noise and drama of the stage and audience bleeds through, a pair of heavy curtains walls you off, leaving your movements unseen. All sorts of mechanical devices are here, ropes and pulleys leading up to the rafters and under the stage, controlling flight and trapdoors and various clever tricks. The wooden floor creaks and groans under your feet, and there's no actual end to it? The backstage goes on forever, the feeling of an eternal cupboard suffocating you in darkness. Best to stick to the light near the curtain. Scattered all across the floor are various props and parts of costumes, most notably many different masks! Tragedy and comedy are the main theme, some frowning, some smiling, some split down the middle, but there are plenty displaying every possible emotion too. There are some peculiar half-face masks in red and white, giving off a faint magical energy. Frames and panels, the building blocks of the set, are strewn around, too. Each panel displays a different painted mural of sorts, setting a scene - a countryside, a cityscape, an alien planet. For some unknown reason, there's a car here too! It seems to be... Every famous movie car in existence? It's simultaneously Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the DeLorean, and the Batmobile! You can climb a ladder up to the RAFTERS, take a door leading to the DRESSING ROOM, or slip past the curtain to the STAGE! You can also slip into the AUDIENCE.

RAFTERS Hey, how'd you get up here? It's dangerous! Either way, it seems a bit barren aside from a few key points. There's a leak coming from the ceiling - a liquid that doesn't quite look like water is dripping out at a slow rate, and the wood below it is seeming to rot. Over all, it doesn't look like the rafters are too sturdy, but even when put under stress, none of the planks even bend or warp. Perhaps there's a separate force holding them up? There's a set of lights pointed towards the stage, but they aren't on as of right now. Upon closer inspection, that's probably because the wire connecting them to the outlet has a break in it! If you managed to fix it, you could have near-complete control over the stage's lighting, effecting the overall mood of any ongoing plays. There's an abundance of coffee up here, for... some reason. You'd estimate about five cups, at a glance. There's also an unlabeled locked box. It feels quite heavy. Some carpenter must have left his stuff here - there's a hammer, handsaw, tape measure, and sharpie scattered about. There's also an opened bucket of paint. It's opened and on its side, but for some reason, no paint has spilled out. Up in the darkness of the ceiling, a bright yellow light glimmers - shining from a large crystal that hovers in the air. You can get a pretty great view of everything below from up here! Looking from this angle, you can see a few of the audience members really stand out, having a lot more defined form. Perhaps you'd be more successful interacting with them over the other audience members? There's a rope going down to the STAGE from here. In the back, there's a ladder going to the BACKSTAGE.

DRESSING ROOM It's the dressing room! There's a seemingly infinite amount of costumes here. It seems like you could pick whatever outfit you want out of this, assuming you know where to look... Or, you could simply take a moment to admire yourself in one of the many mirrors lined up against the left wall.

One of the mirrors has a full makeover kit by it - a comb, hairdryer, scissors, and more than an excessive amount of makeup. It seems like this area hasn't had the best upkeep - a few of the mirrors appear to be cracked, and give off a sort of uneasy feeling. Additionally, there's piles of torn up or tattered outfits strewn across the floor. Electrical wires trail into the stage, but some are broken, sparking electricity. A speaker hangs in one corner, currently silent. From here, you can move to the BACKSTAGE, BAR, or STAGE.

vaguely remember it

He wanted to bring pasq back because that's another insignificant character he controlled right

and your response was he needs to get to france if he wants to do that

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 04:58 PM

oh yeah but what does it do

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 04:58 PM

it makes her become "real" - not on a metanarrative level

im not sure what it does mechanically but

i had the idea of making it a macguffin to be fought over

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 04:59 PM

oh so dream is now going to yank it and possibly run off

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 04:59 PM

letting bern and tatari fight sado for it, each competing to use its power to bring about a miracle

and now

dreams got there first!

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 04:59 PM

wellll

we can toy around with dream a bit first

to throttle them

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 05:01 PM

reworked idea: split the maze into two areas

have one have the hex in

have the other clearly contain the entrance to hell

dream takes the hell route

logically other people will exit into the maze - hunters can follow dream, sado and the others can get the hex

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 05:01 PM

Good idea

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 05:01 PM

boom

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 05:22 PM

yo I just realized that Zoe can accidentally reveal max

that's so cool

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 06:07 PM

oh boy we have so much to contend with

dream punching his way out, theres a group of five people setting up on stage, caths going to the imaginary world

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 06:08 PM

this game was batshit from phase 1

hell from phase 0 even

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 06:09 PM

its not like

derailing batshit

which is good

its pleasant batshit

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 06:09 PM

it's not like derailing batshit yet :)

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 06:10 PM

dont even suggest that

im gonna keep a tight hand on this stuff

to make sure it unfolds neatly

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 06:40 PM

clowder and zel are both going to the lobby, exactly where I needed them to be

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 06:43 PM

btw

are we making it so that the stage broadcasts to everyone?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 06:47 PM

uhh

oh that's a good question

cause it wouldn't do usually, but a cinematographer is involved

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 06:47 PM

yeah

I'd say yes?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 06:48 PM

if it's kicking off something major, which it probably should do (I'm thinking set the theatre on fire), we should probably broadcast it

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 06:48 PM

Oh yeah, I didn't even consider that

Absolutely we need to broadcast it

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 06:49 PM

this rollover is going to be fun :) (edited)

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 06:50 PM

we're setting the theater on fire???????

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 06:51 PM

LOL

Original message was deleted or could not be loaded.

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 06:51 PM

Pinned a message.

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 06:52 PM

look at what theyre planning for the production

what ill do is uhh ill rollover the parts of stage that arent related to the performance

then create a seperate channel for the performance (so that the whole of p2-stage doesnt get broadcasted)

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 06:59 PM

Maybe we could just make a general broadcast channel

for all of the cinematographer stuff

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:00 PM

oooh thats true

also for uhh

the item that klahadore wants to make

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:00 PM

ooh yep

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:01 PM

lets do this thing!

what do you wanna take?

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:03 PM

I can honestly take stage if you want

otherwise I'll start with uuuh

Literally anything

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:03 PM

oh i. kinda wanted to do stage sdfkskghfdkhd

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:03 PM

all yours then

lol

just actually

what if we played bravocat bgm during it

Is my one thought

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:04 PM

oooh yeah. orion didnt specify what music he was gonna play (edited)

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:06 PM

we can just say Orion was fiddling with the music, but, like bravocat butts in and does his own thing

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:06 PM

bwahaha yeah

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:07 PM

poor orion lmfao

always getting bullied

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:07 PM

:(

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:07 PM

ill start on backstage

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:07 PM

i'm already running away from getting ganked

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:07 PM

about that

i was probably gonna have him stab you

for a minor wound only

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:07 PM

uhuh

that works actually

I was gonna hire Spark as a bodyguard because of how many people have it out for me

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:10 PM

OH THATS A GOOD IDEA

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:10 PM

i should've mentioned it earlier tbh

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:22 PM

i uh

don't think they can see the broadcast channel

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:22 PM

going for lobby

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:22 PM

like rnw

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:22 PM

wait huh?

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:23 PM

i can't see it

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:23 PM

OH thats cause youre not a player, it only does it for players

one sec

there ya go

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:24 PM

OHHH

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:31 PM

@Kurukuru can you have dream bust down like. a bit of the door. enough for people to see out of, but not leave through yet

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:31 PM

literally what im doing

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:31 PM

OH LOL thats what youre doing

ignore me sdkgdfkhkdj

im gonna leave the singing for a while - i want it to be the finale. ill do bar and audience first

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:32 PM

That work for you?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:32 PM

oooh yeah

Nikola Orsinov

im gonna leave the singing for a while - i want it to be the finale. ill do bar and audience first

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:32 PM

PERFECT

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:32 PM

thats totally the vibe haha

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:33 PM

Also your music choice was. literally what I was going to do.

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:34 PM

i listened to every song on the album to find the best pick haha

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:35 PM

wait so does the minor wound I have do anything mechanic wise or?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:36 PM

youre an npc, and its minor, so nah

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:36 PM

aight

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:38 PM

I'll take bar if you want?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:40 PM

sure, im doing audience

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:48 PM

ok ok

so

the audience members are people who got vague endings right

funnymans just tried to set up a fight between two of them, but hes gonna get clobbered instead.

and.

you know who got vague endings and is also not great to pick a fight with?

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:48 PM

uuuh

OH

BWEAHAHWH

LMFAO

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:49 PM

they left hell, and ended up chilling here!

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:50 PM

YEAH

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:52 PM

wait.

solus is recruiting people for the garlean army. (edited)

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:52 PM

yeah?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:52 PM

...can i just give him kyoko and kiryu (edited)

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:52 PM

LOL

YEAH

GO FOR IT

I think I'm only going to give zeipa the first half of their action? I feel the second half is a bit much for one action

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:53 PM

hm.

its item handling? so it should be free?

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:55 PM

That's fair?

Yeah actually that's fair

I'll give it to em

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 07:55 PM

im done

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 07:57 PM

almost done

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 07:59 PM

hi done

i'm amal

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:00 PM

Done with the phase

adding items

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:01 PM

cool!

im gonna uhh

talk with cath and decide whats happening with him

probably going to add an alt that cath plays on.

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:02 PM

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:03 PM

y'all need to finish the broadcast

still

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:04 PM

yeah i know

glglgl

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:17 PM

how is that door supposed to open?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:19 PM

honestly? theres no intended way

theyre supposed to cheat it open

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:19 PM

aha

gonna go on my own plotline of getting Orion tf out of this theater back home

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:20 PM

honestly? id do the same if i were you

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:21 PM

He's had it

He is going home back to his bf

he just got stabbed

this is his game now

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:23 PM

uhhh we've just got areadescs to do now iirc?

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:23 PM

Yeah

I assume we mention that EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:23 PM

im amazed at the speed we do this

yeah

dont have any like

actual items or stuff on fire yet

but floors/walls definitely

Nikola Orsinov

im amazed at the speed we do this

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:25 PM

you got my NPC buff

idk if you also begin writing rollovers in advance

but that's how I managed to speed up R!S rollovers to a ludicrous amount

Coyote Smith 19-Mar-22 08:26 PM

Everything is on fire holy shit I missed a lot

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:26 PM

honestly?

its not gonna be like

An Issue

players will likely put it out

this is just to demonstrate the power of the stage

Coyote Smith 19-Mar-22 08:27 PM

I know it's not an issue

I just had no idea this was gonna happen

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:27 PM

lmao neither did i until like

halfway through the phase, i noticed the language bravocat was using, and how they put together a whole play

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:28 PM

YEAH

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:28 PM

@Kurukuru what did you do with ahmayk swallowing flobby?

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:28 PM

LMAO

Nikola Orsinov

@Kurukuru what did you do with ahmayk swallowing flobby?

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:28 PM

Just gonna give him the roll bonusm since it's technically still part of robbie

ACTUALLY

I COULD GIVE HIM

A MINI FLOBBY ROTTEN

FOLLOWING HIM AROUND

like robbie's ability

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:29 PM

HAHAHAH YES

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:35 PM

How would I note that ahmayk has a permanent +3 rn

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:36 PM

uhhhh.. just DM it to him, the players should remind us of roll boosts

have you DMd godot his coffee boost?

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:36 PM

not yet.

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:37 PM

got it

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:37 PM

I'm gonna say he got like 6 cups in there

because that was a crit success

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:39 PM

areadescs done

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:39 PM

spins around like a record

Kurukuru

I'm gonna say he got like 6 cups in there

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:42 PM

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:42 PM

What effect should I give his new beans

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:43 PM

coke

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:43 PM

perhaps a bigger buff, but situational?

like, only when hes using items or something

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:44 PM

ooh, I can do that!

I assume the quality beans overwrite the range increase for a crit fail/crit success?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:45 PM

yeah

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:48 PM

ok so he has eight cups of coffee right

Because +3 last phase

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:48 PM

3-1+6

yeah

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:48 PM

+6 this phase

-1

Alright, sorry if I was slowing you down.

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:49 PM

where is the -1 from?

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:49 PM

I think we're good to go? Maybe?

Amalgam

where is the -1 from?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:49 PM

decays by 1 each phase

Amalgam

where is the -1 from?

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:49 PM

meter decays by 1 per phase

DANGIT

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:49 PM

uhuh

Kurukuru

I think we're good to go? Maybe?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:49 PM

i cant think of anything weve forgotten?

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:51 PM

yea I think we're good!

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:51 PM

bllblblbb

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:51 PM

we're gonna have to talk to beagle

no text, no actions for two phases

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:52 PM

What was the issue with the bar?

Nikola Orsinov

we're gonna have to talk to beagle

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:52 PM

mmm yeah, that's true

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:52 PM

i added a few details to make it easier for zels rumour to spread

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 08:52 PM

I'll message them (and hope for a response)

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:57 PM

I'm telling people about the stage fuckiness backstage fyi

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 08:58 PM

makes sense

dont go too in depth as to how it works, but yeah - theyd probably gathered that SOMETHINGS up (edited)

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 08:59 PM

I just said (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 09:00 PM

ooh i like that

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 09:00 PM

They call me trixie lulamoon the way I accidentally do really good things

Elle Woods 19-Mar-22 09:06 PM

would it be fitting to rp the fire as if it isnt a big deal and it happens to us all the time?

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 09:07 PM

yes

Elle Woods 19-Mar-22 09:07 PM

cooooool

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 09:07 PM

totally hahaha

Coyote Smith 19-Mar-22 09:12 PM

I'm gonna treat it as something strange but not unusual

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 09:14 PM

...

wait.

could you argue that

"the power of the stage" is a rumour being spread in the backstage?

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 09:17 PM

yes

oh dear god what have I caused

damnit I accidentally got too in character and caused a huge problem for everyone by accident

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 09:18 PM

thats objective, baby

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 09:48 PM

If they succeed in putting on the SAO play does the theatre turn into an MMO

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 09:49 PM

Holy shit...

I guess that

Orion really does have read permissions now

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 09:50 PM

NOOOO

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 09:51 PM

I am continuing the co-written plotline

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 09:51 PM

sobbing

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 09:52 PM

It never ended

It's about time i give it closure

Hu

Oh

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 09:58 PM

Hu

Nikola Orsinov

"the power of the stage" is a rumour being spread in the backstage?

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 10:06 PM

hey @Kurukuru what do u think of this

Coyote Smith 19-Mar-22 10:29 PM

As someone who works at a theater irl this npc work hits too close to home lmao

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 10:30 PM

Bwhaha

Nikola Orsinov

hey @Kurukuru what do u think of this

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 10:42 PM

I mean tbh I'd say so!

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 10:44 PM

what would that rumour do for zel

I say we definitely inform her of it during rollover

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 10:44 PM

definitely yeah

Nikola Orsinov

what would that rumour do for zel

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 10:46 PM

they take the form of rumors being spread, right? Maybe they could influence the theatre somewhat with their interpretation of any ongoing plays

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 10:47 PM

zel BECOMES the stage

Amalgam 19-Mar-22 10:47 PM

They get max stirner's role

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 10:48 PM

NOO

Nikola Orsinov 19-Mar-22 11:25 PM

I say if they agree, they can freely follow brine

but taking someone against their will is one person at a time

Kurukuru 19-Mar-22 11:55 PM

agreed.

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 01:38 PM

ah shoot thanks for handling the ninetails and chef stuff

mb

Amalgam 20-Mar-22 04:09 PM

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 04:35 PM

oops we forgot the first round of favours

Amalgam 20-Mar-22 04:36 PM

of what?

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 04:36 PM

the rewards for actors

Amalgam 20-Mar-22 04:36 PM

oh

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 04:37 PM

the only ppl who noticed said it might've been due to the fire and I'll pass it off as that

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 06:41 PM

heads up I might be a little late to rollover, only just got home

Amalgam 20-Mar-22 06:42 PM

okok

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 06:50 PM

ready to lock in 5

btw, for the future, how would it work for you guys to lock + roll over one hour earlier than we do now?

That'd make it land right on my lunch period, so I'd have abt an hour completely free

I can make the current time work, but I might be a bit less consistent.

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:03 PM

mm im usually having dinner at that time, so i wouldnt be free

however

in a week, daylight savings kicks in

which means i can definitely go an hour earlier?

for livs action

should we. rollover #p2-bar again

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:06 PM

I was thinking we can just say "you feel like something has shifted" in p2

(and maybe in p3 too)

Headcanon: I know EXACTLY what happened in this place: I saw 4 people leaving this area so obviously they were involved. The frog was probably making whatever food that Philosopher looking guy was carrying, but then, a conflict! They were arguing about whether they should put some hot sauce on it or not! The fox, blonde haired guy, and chef all agreed that they should put hot sauce on it, but the guy in a dress hates spicy things! and- and they probably really wanted to convince him the hot sauce slaps, so they wanted to pour some on, and then a lot of hot sauce dodging ensued! The guy in a dress built the fort to protect the food! Then the fire probably just happened because of some magical theatre stuff and they all ran off, probably (hopefully) stopping their hot sauce assault after running out of hot sauce and realising that there is some real danger (the fire) other than hot sauce-less food.

I was thinking

no change to frog/food stuff Ninetails, Godot, and the Chef get a bottle of hot sauce There is now a plate of sauerkraut in the imagination fort the "red liquid" (that I was trying to be vague about lmao) is identified as hot sauce in the areadesc

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:10 PM

i agree in terms of mechanics

but also

i feel it would be really really funny if out of nowhere we narrate tatari, ninetails and frog chasing max around with hot sauce

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:11 PM

LMFAO

I mean

why not

Btw, thinking of only giving godot 3 coffees? he rolled a 2, and iirc there's no definite value on how many he can make per phase

WAIT WITH THE INCREASED RANGE

HE CRITFAILS

LOL

err nvm

he switched to quality beans

so he instead gets a _8

ok yeah I'm gonna give him 4

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:16 PM

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:18 PM

not gonna tackle the bar retcon unitl we have a more definite idea lol

POOR VALVATTI

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:21 PM

hey, what did you intend to be in the rafter lockbox?

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:23 PM

I figured it could be more theatre info - either on the directors, stage mechanics, or stuff outside

No definite plan lol

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:26 PM

i have an idea

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:27 PM

oh?

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:27 PM

what if i make it the accordion and guitar we used in ratatosk

those'd be things that we would lock away, with some funky effects, and would be a Lore Hint

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:28 PM

OH

OH MY GOD

THATS

SO SMART

WTF

IT PLAYS IN SO WELL TOO

CANT HAVE A GOOD PERFORMANCE

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:28 PM

YEAH

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:28 PM

WITHOUT SOME MUSIC

Unrelated, but what was your plan for abraham Lincoln's honest abe ability?

I'm gonna play it like

he undoes robbie's disguise (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:31 PM

ooh what if

it prevents him from lying for a phase?

at the cost of him getting SMITED or something if he does

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:32 PM

Alright!

Wait, does that quite work with the wording for the ability?

I guess being brought to justice would be not being able to lie for a phase, following your idea? (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:35 PM

i honestly have no idea what justice originally meant it was amals ability sdkfgskgh

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:35 PM

LMAO

Uuuh

I'm gonna go with

he undoes the current lie, and prevents them from lying in the next phase

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:36 PM

sounds good

one thing to remember this rollover

zels gonna be told about Orion spreading the rumour that the stage is magic

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:36 PM

Nikola Orsinov

i honestly have no idea what justice originally meant it was amals ability sdkfgskgh

Amalgam 20-Mar-22 07:39 PM

I didn't either!

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 07:48 PM

im putting out the fire on stage and in backstage

nowhere else, since spark worked alone

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 07:48 PM

Sounds good. I put out the fire in the dressing room, since valvatti put it out himself

If that's 3 areas, I think that'd warrant saying that the fire onstage died down a good bit, especially if we want to demonstrate that the stage is reactive as well?

OH wait the fire onstage is put out by spark

nvm don't listen to me lol

What you're doing makes sense

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:00 PM

What should I do abt no face tossing a flaming twig into the audience?

I think I could just have it be put out by the sprinkler system

I think that makes sense for the stage's impact, and it isn't that big of a deal

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:03 PM

hm i think it should have some impact

maybe it just lays there, so someone can start a fire later?

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:03 PM

hmm

I guess that's fair

Amalgam 20-Mar-22 08:05 PM

wait is the door just open now?

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:06 PM

itll shut itself after a phase, i think

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:07 PM

Makes sense.

Should I get started on the bar retcon?

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:09 PM

ooh yeah

forgot about that (edited)

ill do areadescs and moveinstants

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:10 PM

Uuuh @Nikola Orsinov I would want to do something to "reward" dream for the nat 20, esp. since they seem pretty annoyed in vault. I was thinking maybe they could, like, use the opportunity to mine out the door while it's vulnerable, explaining why it stays open for an extra phase, and maybe giving them, like, a cool regenerating block item?

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:11 PM

oh true

Nikola Orsinov

itll shut itself after a phase, i think

Amalgam 20-Mar-22 08:11 PM

fuc

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:16 PM

alright here goes nothing

bar time

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:16 PM

gl!

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:27 PM

alright, think I finished.

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:27 PM

that was very amusing

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:27 PM

I tried to write it, like

In kinda a silly way

Cuz it's effectively zoe's writing

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:28 PM

yeah it definitely fit

could you do the areadesc for bar?

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:28 PM

Yep!

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:36 PM

Wait so stirner poisoned the sauerkraut he had, right?

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:36 PM

yeah

dont put that in the itemdesc tho

cause its visible

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:36 PM

Just noted that it's half empty now

thanks to zoe's retcon, lol.

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:39 PM

bwahahah

we ready to rollover?

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:40 PM

one moment

I think so!

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:45 PM

fuck fuck fuck fuck

brine changed their description

and i forgot to move them

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:50 PM

OH CRUD

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:50 PM

we're just going with the whole

"no metagaming please :)" if anyone notices

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:51 PM

phew

Sorry

I was slow on that

honestly

just gonna remove the max embed

@Nikola Orsinov would that make sense?

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 08:52 PM

i was going to but

you cant remove max without removing an entire chunk of embeds

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:52 PM

OH

dangit

Amalgam 20-Mar-22 08:55 PM

Wait without the override of Orion's abilities he has his natural magic "back"

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 08:56 PM

oop spy still has triple trouble

Fixed spy

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 09:02 PM

wait holy shit

ive just thought of something

if sado takes masks key.

then they can team up

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 09:02 PM

BWHAHA

I WISH

yknow

as always

thank you maia

You're so much faster at this than I am, lol.

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 09:06 PM

sdkgffdkgh its no issue lol

i just

sit down

hyperfocus

boom. rollover done

youre a really good help tho too!

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 09:08 PM

Thank you,,,

Nikola Orsinov 20-Mar-22 09:28 PM

bwahahah this is funny

the players have trapped me in a loop of responding to orders without noticing it

Kurukuru 20-Mar-22 10:03 PM

LOL

Just read through that sequence.

Nikola Orsinov

the players have trapped me in a loop of responding to orders without noticing it

Amalgam 20-Mar-22 10:04 PM

Well now i know

I voided almost all my meta knowledge before the game started

Coyote Smith 21-Mar-22 01:52 AM

Considering the hero talk, I'm thinking I'll do a personality switch after all

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 02:02 AM

oh uh

heads up

winter is most likely dropping

yeeep winter dropped

apparently they have a document they plan on posting after the game is over, and then just leaving objective, potentially for good

I mean not the worst outcome

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 08:20 AM

ugh

We should probably make an announcement so that. the seven fuckin people she roped into this know what's going on

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 08:20 AM

yea

geez that caused a ruckus

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:14 AM

ok panic over

winter is dealt with in my mind

focusing back on the game

I kind of agree with what locke said in vault

But also

I think this was a quiet phase anyway?

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 10:14 AM

yeah pr much

there's not really a good reason to make this a doubler

I haven't really been looking at design chat anyways since a lot of the talking in there goes over my head most of the time and debating is for fucking nerds sooo

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:15 AM

lmaoo (edited)

without dream, though, I'm tempted to merge the two maze areas

to make things less painful for sado and anyone else who wants the hex

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 10:16 AM

all the stuff that had to be done was front loaded while ???'s shenanigans are yet to happen/stopped due to Zel's french issues

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:16 AM

yeahhhh

I feel bad for brine

I said to them that if zel doesn't respond by the end of the phase, I'm kicking tatari out of the area

Cause her lingering there is gonna cause problems for brine and everyone else

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 11:00 AM

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 02:41 PM

Oh woo discord doing the no connection thing!

why is this just a thing that happens

where it's just one way communication

Coyote Smith 21-Mar-22 02:42 PM

awesome

Coyote Smith 21-Mar-22 02:42 PM

If you can even read this idk

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 02:50 PM

I'm kind of hoping Bernkastel gets her miracle

mostly because. holy shit narrating that rollover

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 02:50 PM

that's like

"hi welcome back to life, now die :)"

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 02:53 PM

#p4 literally reads like an umineko tea party

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 02:53 PM

^ someone who has never read anything but umineko

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 02:54 PM

"Bernkastel makes a deal with someone one on one in a fucked up room" is how every tea party goes

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 02:54 PM

lol lmao

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 04:29 PM

okay?

like 99% chance thats discord being discord but

lol

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 04:37 PM

yeah that's discord

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 05:09 PM

hey @Kurukuru - people have suggested an extension to the current phase cause of hub discussion. i was thinking of setting up a poll in announcements?

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 05:10 PM

Hmm. Personally, I wouldn't think it would be needed, but we can put up a poll just to gauge opinions.

How long would the extension be? The further out the extension is, the less available I get to rollover lol

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 05:13 PM

i think the implication was 24 hours?

im not sure.

we could always uhh

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 05:13 PM

24 hours works fine, in that case.

Other alternative would be uuuuh

extending it by 2 hours, which would be nothing

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 05:16 PM

2 hours would give zel and brine time to talk, who were both big proponents

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 05:25 PM

tbh zel simply shouldn't be french

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 05:48 PM

based on the ratio in announcements, wanna go for two hours?

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 05:48 PM

sure

I mean I'm just spinning around like i've been put in the microwave rnw

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 06:04 PM

Yeah, 2 makes sense to me.

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 06:51 PM

noting things to keep in mind:

zels deal with brine zels acceptance of the stage rumour clowders deal with brine merging deep with maze and deleting the connection to purgatory (edited)

Coyote Smith 21-Mar-22 07:39 PM

Quick question but I forgor what areas are on fire nearby

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 07:40 PM

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:08 PM

heyo!!

what areas do you wanna do?

ive just done dressing quickly

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:11 PM

I can start on stage? Or I can go for the simpler areas, since my connection is slower rn

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:12 PM

if you wanna take stage, doing one thing might be easier for you?

i can clear up everywhere else

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:12 PM

Alright.

The one thing I'd need for stage

is the robbie rotten ugh lets try something else gif

Since I literally can NOT use discord gif search rn lmfao

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 09:34 PM

Do it

YES

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:40 PM

uuh, what more is there to do? I can do another area I think

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:40 PM

bar, backstage, rafters

also make sure to remember zel accepting the stage rumour

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:42 PM

ooh, thx. What exactly do you want me to do about that?

just the spy connection?

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:43 PM

nah uhh

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:43 PM

oooh wait I need to give them the stage ability too right

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:43 PM

she already got the spy connection

shes accepting the ability which means

clear the spy, make up an ability

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:45 PM

wow! Discord is very functional!

Nikola Orsinov

clear the spy, make up an ability

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:45 PM

Got it, thanks!

Kurukuru

wow! Discord is very functional!

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:45 PM

oh my god

i also think uhh

zel should appear centre-stage as she does

give it some dramatic flair

Kurukuru

wow! Discord is very functional!

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 09:47 PM

The best browser user experience

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:47 PM

what are we giving lou as an ability?

Nikola Orsinov

what are we giving lou as an ability?

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:48 PM

I mean, their expectation was the ability to access the director's box

Did we decide on tatari's ability?

As far as I remember, the idea was just max stirner role TWO?

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:49 PM

i think it should be something like

they get input on anything the stage does

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:49 PM

How exactly would that work?

Not like we can contact them during rollover

...can we?

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:49 PM

oh true its. zel

what about something like.

"If it ever looks like a performance is about to happen, you will be told in advance. You may submit a free action, which you will temporarily manifest on-stage and do as part of the performance."

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:51 PM

OOH

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:53 PM

and im thinking for lou

we give them an ability thats like

essentially they can use the directors box as a hideout for them and their allies?

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:53 PM

Yeah, thats what I was thinking

Basically max stirner crawling chaos

But with consent

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 09:55 PM

"Whilst disguised as Nikola, you may moveinstant in and out of the Directors Box. Additionally, at the start of a phase, you may choose any number of allies to do the same."

can you do rafters? its just jay finch

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 09:57 PM

sure!

@Nikola Orsinov Could you say that from above, water pours down on the audience? Or should I?

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:02 PM

can you do it?

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 10:02 PM

sure!

Stirner is trying to follow flutterina, but flutterina is going to the director's box. Should I just have stirner stay put?

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:08 PM

yeah

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 10:14 PM

alright uuuh

what more can I do

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:14 PM

forcemoves?

make sure everyones going where they want

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 10:15 PM

done for the stage

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:15 PM

wait actually

nvm

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 10:15 PM

I'll see if there are other areas that need it?

wait how do I actually do tree stuff?

I don't wanna mess anything up

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:18 PM

lemme do that

Amalgam 21-Mar-22 10:19 PM

Cathode is playing co-op with two controllers at the same time

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:22 PM

im gonna uhh

i dont want liv to be alone again

but her movement looks like it is

shes asleep rn so

do you think shed mind if we moved her somewhere else?

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 10:24 PM

hm uhh

what if we gave her a one way moveinstant

to another area

so she can stay lonely if she wants

but she can also correct herself

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:25 PM

good idea yeah

i think we're ready then?

we forgor like most areadescs

ok cool

ok i cant think of a good area image for directors box so it wont have one lmao

why have we not got a new category yet

paint

WAIT

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 10:35 PM

hm?

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:36 PM

nvm i forgot something with lou

fixed it

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:44 PM

with the amount of big characters on stage rn, im guessing we're gonna get another performance

Like I consider the "main players" to be Bravocat, Klahadore, sado, stirner, double trouble, bernkastel

and they're all together

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 10:48 PM

yeah, that's def true

I'd say we can wait and see a bit?

but as of rn I'd probably give it to zel

Nikola Orsinov 21-Mar-22 10:50 PM

OH I wasn't talking about zel lol (edited)

I was just

Excitedly speculating

Kurukuru 21-Mar-22 10:50 PM

For sado I was thinking Control over their glitches? So they can intentionally obscure their actions/other stuff And then maybe a debuff to their moveinstant Making it so that they have a max of 2 or 3

Nikola Orsinov 22-Mar-22 07:35 PM

i like all that, but i think it needs one additional thing

a big new power of sorts

Kurukuru 22-Mar-22 07:36 PM

Amalgam 22-Mar-22 10:05 PM

I wish cath had to go back through the maze

That would've been fun

Nikola Orsinov 22-Mar-22 10:06 PM

that would be painful

hes spent too long alone lmao

Amalgam 22-Mar-22 10:06 PM

We are literally right there

In the maze

We're going to be there for a while

Until a miracle happens

Nikola Orsinov 22-Mar-22 10:22 PM

HAHAHAHHA im talking to brine in dms and

brine thinks theyre completely in control of the situation with locke

they think that locke was actually called in by us, not dt

and they dont know about the radio

Nikola Orsinov 22-Mar-22 10:30 PM

ok no more cathode shenanigans

we're all set there

Amalgam 22-Mar-22 10:31 PM

He could've just asked if he could play pasq you know?

Nikola Orsinov 22-Mar-22 10:31 PM

more fun this way

Nikola Orsinov 22-Mar-22 11:50 PM

oh my god are Bern and Bravocat going to team up against brine?

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 08:13 AM

The maze crew are just chilling

While bravocat and bern are walking right past us

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 08:29 AM

lmao I noticed them completely ignoring the maze

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 05:51 PM

Sorry for being a bit inactive today. Regarding kuro wanting answers, I think I'm gonna say something along the lines of "if you want answers... or just to do some real damage to me, you'd better put on a good show."

Cuz like

Despite being threatened

I really can't just loredump everything that's going on rn lol

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 05:53 PM

Makes sense haha

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 07:03 PM

@Kurukuru you around?

Kurukuru

uh, random fyi: Though I'm gonna be free this rollover, I might have a calc exam during tomorrow's rollover, so I'll likely not be present for the first hour, give or take abt 20 mins. I will try to prewrite some of the rolliver the hour before, since I am free then.

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 07:09 PM

Calc exam.

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 07:09 PM

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 07:10 PM

OH ok!!

i should be fine to do this one alone

nothing too batshits happening

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 07:11 PM

tyty

good? news: apparently instead of an exam, there's a massive announcement thing happening in the auditorium apparently

bad news: yeah discord is doing the DANG thing again aaaaargh

wait this is actually

worst case scenario

because that means the exam is friday

BUT I STILL CANT HELP TODAY

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 07:15 PM

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 07:15 PM

Well! This sucks!

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 07:16 PM

NOO

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 07:16 PM

I feel like this game is really more maia gming and I'm just, like, helping with rollovers

which I guess is okay if maia is okay with it?

But I still feel guilty that I'm really not pulling my weight

or at least thats how it feels

oh well!

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 07:17 PM

askdfsdkf im fine with putting a lot of work in, as long as it doesnt feel like im not letting you contribute!

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 07:18 PM

yoooo theatre game irl

idk about the consistency of my connection

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 07:21 PM

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 07:21 PM

(or if im even allowed to be on my phone rn lol)

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 07:34 PM

what's the idea for the maze? I was thinking of making a maze-2 to move them into

with a bunch of props and items and stuff

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 07:34 PM

we've got to go deeper

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 07:34 PM

so them being stuck doesn't feel like the biggest frustration

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 07:35 PM

yeah, that works

the only issue is uh

a TON of people are looking for superb

so maybe its more like

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 07:35 PM

we trap them in the maze

I want to end this game with everyone in the maze

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 07:36 PM

the maze shifts around them, and they stay next to the lobby, but functionally get deeper?

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 07:36 PM

maze strat

Amalgam

I want to end this game with everyone in the maze

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 07:36 PM

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 07:40 PM

ok thought is

mask's door just leads to another part of the maze orion and mask go through, while spark looks around on the spark board there isn't anything in the other end of the door, so they go back through they come back to a completely new area of the maze, spark emerges to the same area after a moment

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 07:43 PM

bwahaha i like that

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 07:43 PM

I fucking love the recurring joke of the Among Us Musical (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 07:44 PM

ikr

like. the fact that it was a critically beloved hit in this universe is just hilarious to me

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 07:45 PM

this is utopia

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 08:00 PM

i just realized I've been spelling zepia as zeipa this entire time

objective, the only game where a transgender eldritch god shares a mech suit with Robbie Rotten

uuh lemme look over the maze

gaaah this reception is annoying

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 08:38 PM

OOP forgot to remove it

ok done

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 08:39 PM

okay I REALLY like the maze

nice description

Strongly considering getting on stage if possible

wait where is funnyman?

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:01 PM

Good question

Lobby atm

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 09:01 PM

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:01 PM

synes been afk for a few phases

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 09:02 PM

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:02 PM

So is anniversary and pande getting brought into this now?

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:03 PM

i-

i guess????

i have no fucking clue what caths doing

pandaes already been brought up with uhh

purgatory

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:03 PM

Yeah

But I guess togami is being brought back in

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 09:09 PM

TOGAMI???

god this sure is

one of the objective games of all time

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 09:10 PM

Wild rave got pulled in too iirc

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:10 PM

this really is huh

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:10 PM

Give me 2 phases and I'll bring Dick game into this

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 09:10 PM

I have kidnapped 2 players to go away from the plot

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:11 PM

I have a fire to put out

And a murder to possibly stop

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:23 PM

Anyone know what Cathode is talking about?

Is he actually trying to become an npc

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:23 PM

yeah

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:23 PM

This shit is getting too meta

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:24 PM

im

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 09:24 PM

if he becomes one I am rping in design chat

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:24 PM

trying to keep it under control

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 09:24 PM

actually let him I wanna rp in design chat

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:24 PM

hes freaking out because he fucked himself out of a direction, fixated on killing bernkastel

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:24 PM

Do not let him in

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:24 PM

then couldnt do that

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:24 PM

I refuse to let him rp in design chat

I mean I don't think he's fucked

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:25 PM

i dont think itd be a meta thing

i think itd just

make him an npc

so he can contribute to the game without a direction

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:25 PM

So he wants purpose and is getting it by killing bern?

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 09:25 PM

you can ask him about it

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:25 PM

Oddly poetic and philosophical

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 09:30 PM

Honestly I'm not opposed to him being an npc if it cuts down the meta rp

Because as of right now I feel like half the plays we've taken to try to cut down on cath meta

made him double down on it instead

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:32 PM

I'm not opposed to meta stuff as long as it doesn't end up like this

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 09:35 PM

^

Meta stuff is fine, I was alright with early cath tbh

That was just mildly annoying at worst

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:35 PM

Tbh

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:36 PM

yeah i feel like

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:36 PM

This feels like heist game at the exact moment before orby broke

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:36 PM

this is impacting everyone

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 09:36 PM

This feels more like screwing over a different character for exclusively meta reasons, which doesn't jive with me as well?

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:36 PM

no i

im talking to cath

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:36 PM

Where things are going to go off the rails very soon

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:36 PM

he doesnt actually want to kill bern

we wont let that happen

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 09:36 PM

Alright, that's

better?

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:36 PM

Yeah I don't doubt you guys got this

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:36 PM

either cath gives in, doesnt kill anyone, and starts a new arc somewhere else

or he kills bern and gets lynched - noone wants this

or he goes out with a bang, does sepulchritude, and chills as an NPC

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:37 PM

Actually I can probably give him an out if he needs it

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 09:45 PM

Judging by #p7-stage I'm guessing thing aren't going well?

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 09:47 PM

I hope those people get off stage soon so I can have my dramatic bitch moment

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 09:58 PM

ive talked to cath

hes gonna perform, and essentially give us an opportunity to do (edited)

whatever we wish

to make him feel more comfortable

probably just gonna.

pick him up

put him somewhere quiet

with characters he can get on with

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 10:01 PM

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 10:15 PM

Put him with us backstage

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 10:16 PM

actually that's not a bad idea

I think he might like that?

hell vibe with superb

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 10:25 PM

would anyone mind if we could have a 24 hour phase extension?

the stuff with cath has been quite exhausting for me, and I think, as we're around the midpoint of the game, I need a break. some of the players might too.

Nikola Orsinov

would anyone mind if we could have a 24 hour phase extension?

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 10:25 PM

or even a break, not an extension

Coyote Smith 23-Mar-22 10:26 PM

Break is fine sure

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 10:26 PM

I mean sure

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 10:27 PM

I was honestly considering an extension in reaction to the ambush planned by the bravocat trio

but the big issue there

is that would put it back on my calc exam

(which is 2 days from when I expected it to happen today)

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 10:28 PM

if we break, I would probably be able to host Fridays rollover a lot easier haha

I don't mind soloing it if I have that rest first (edited)

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 10:28 PM

seriously?

You're crazy lol

(thats a compliment)

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 10:29 PM

lmao

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 10:29 PM

But your call -and sorry as always for my timing concerns

Amalgam 23-Mar-22 10:30 PM

Being an NPC around normal players feels weird

The way I'm driving a plot forward

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 10:30 PM

In the future I feel like I'm just not gonna try to host a game anytime that isn't, like, dedicated break time for me.

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 10:30 PM

that's totally understandable skfjdf

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 10:30 PM

Cuz there's just so much that comes up

Nikola Orsinov 23-Mar-22 10:31 PM

You've been doing great, even working around those timing issues tho

it really is fun to host with you

Kurukuru 23-Mar-22 10:32 PM

aaaaaaa

thank you,,,

Coyote Smith 25-Mar-22 01:03 AM

This crossword is taking me places

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 09:09 AM

I'm thinking we might need to kick them out of the directors box

Either at the end of this phase, or the end of next phase

Coyote Smith 25-Mar-22 12:37 PM

Nikola Orsinov

I'm thinking we might need to kick them out of the directors box

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 02:50 PM

I was thinking it'd be pretty iffy to kick them out this phase, but what if we make it open for anyone to move/moveinstant to next phase?

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 02:52 PM

OH THATD BE FUNNY

that technically wouldnt violate any commands they gave me

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 02:52 PM

EXACTLY

I was thinking how we could do something to nerf the box without doing something that feels directly like screwing them over or being out of character

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 02:54 PM

But my point is

Are they not just saying they're helping eachother

Without saying what they want to make???

OH NVM

Robbie updated his action

pain!

in my defense I ran a status literally a minute before he submitted

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 06:44 PM

lmao

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 06:56 PM

Thinking

Zoe summons a writhing mass of tentacles that then contort into a very normal looking umbrella Robbie, Emet, and Tree make a set of masks and a cane, similar to kurukuru's (maybe it could be something cool where the masks switch out every phase and uhh uhm idk you get a bonus to doing something that matches the mood of the mask?) Trainee chef hands the mustard rice cakes to Bern, films Zoe summoning a tentacle abomination, and then drinks the coffee (maybe some flavor where the coffee is WAY TOO STRONG FOR HIM) problem sleuth just succeeds (would be funny if he liquidated the bag too)

and now I have the test

Feel free to ignore that

that was just random thoughts

good luck

maia how do you beat my record in R!S solo

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 08:48 PM

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 08:48 PM

wait

I think R!S still had like less than an hour one phase

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 08:48 PM

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 08:49 PM

you are genuinely insane (compliment)

Coyote Smith 25-Mar-22 08:49 PM

Any reason why I can see stage?

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 08:50 PM

um.

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 08:50 PM

I don't know how we did this

Coyote Smith

Any reason why I can see stage?

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 08:51 PM

??? I have no idea

Coyote Smith

Any reason why I can see stage?

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 08:51 PM

yeah i have no idea why

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 08:51 PM

lmao???

Coyote Smith 25-Mar-22 08:51 PM

Lmao!

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 08:51 PM

at least it isnt a player

but

uh

???

Coyote Smith 25-Mar-22 08:51 PM

Yeah thats weird

Probably should let ahmayk and everyone in chat know

Err stage chat I mean

Not like it really matters tbh

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 08:52 PM

and now you cant

i think?

Coyote Smith 25-Mar-22 08:52 PM

I can't now

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 08:52 PM

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 08:54 PM

ok this phase is gonna be baller

i can tell

Coyote Smith 25-Mar-22 08:55 PM

Of course it is

This is the phase where all the fires are put out

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 08:55 PM

HAHAHAHAHA

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 08:56 PM

WOOOO

FIRE DEPARTMENT PRIDE

Nikola Orsinov

ok this phase is gonna be baller

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 08:59 PM

I mean, #p8game-nuke

Thats the trend (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 08:59 PM

please n o

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 08:59 PM

p7 is the emotional climax

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 08:59 PM

p7 was like

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 08:59 PM

p8 is the game nuke

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 08:59 PM

this reminds me of the introduction of the fetus in dyad, or the reveal of the bifrost in ratatosk

a shift in the game that unites and polarises people

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 09:00 PM

DYAD FETUS

Nikola Orsinov

a shift in the game that unites and polarises people

Kurukuru 25-Mar-22 09:00 PM

yeah you're 100% on the money there though

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 09:01 PM

it feels like...

nyarl/bern/cath/frog/zepia against sado/bravocat/double trouble/kuro/omen (edited)

those are our main players

theres plenty of side groups running around

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 09:06 PM

@Nikola Orsinov you forgot the items we got out of the forgotten piles

appropriate

but still

Amalgam

@Nikola Orsinov you forgot the items we got out of the forgotten piles

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 09:09 PM

OOPS

I did superbs

lemme do yours

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 09:24 PM

I can't wait to use this either this phase or the next

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 09:24 PM

wha

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 09:24 PM

I am waiting for when I meet either Nyar or Cathode

so I can finally finish off Orion's 3 game long mental breakdown

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 09:25 PM

oh no

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 09:25 PM

the second I meet them I am going scorched earth

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 09:26 PM

OH MY GOD

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 10:13 PM

Hey @Nikola Orsinov quick question

Can I use the Providence's Halo ability (the canon one Orion has with the whole body changing stuff) as a bartering tool?

And then in the case they accept like actually use it

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 10:14 PM

Amal you have to explain what your oc abilities are bestie I don't know what you're talking about

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 10:15 PM

Ok so PH is in very simple terms, changing the body of a person into their deepest subconscious desires (that is biologically possible)

Aka the ultimate trans ally ability

Both parties need to agree on it being used and neither have a full say in the end result

Since the subconscious can't change it's desires on a whim

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 10:16 PM

OH right

uhm

wait would you

use it on zel?

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 10:17 PM

No not on zel

I'm intending to use it to barter with brine

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 10:18 PM

WHAT

Amalgam

Ok so PH is in very simple terms, changing the body of a person into their deepest subconscious desires (that is biologically possible)

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 10:18 PM

The part in parentheses here is very important

My intention is to turn an elder god into a mortal.

Though it will have to accept my offer first

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 10:20 PM

mm I'm. not sure about that

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 10:20 PM

I mean they'd still get their deepest desires fulfilled

It's like a devil's contract

Idk i think the irony would be a fun end

I really just want to interact with the big players of this game (or pretty much all the games nowadays.)

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 10:23 PM

it'd let you do it as like

a support ability to your allies

power em up

but not as a direct offensive

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 10:24 PM

It isn't offensive

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 10:24 PM

oh boy #p8

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 10:24 PM

I am weaponizing a technicality

Something i established a while ago

Since I never intended to ever use this on a god, the ability works on cells alone you know?

It is only a weapon against brine specifically here, anyone else would just get extra buffed

No?

Nikola Orsinov 25-Mar-22 10:33 PM

I'll think about it

Maybe

It's contextual based on

how your encounter with brine goes

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 10:33 PM

Alright

Coyote Smith 25-Mar-22 10:51 PM

I don't plan on getting involved but I'm probably gonna be hostile to both sides for fucking with the theater

Amalgam 25-Mar-22 10:54 PM

Aaaa I'm so impatient right now

P8-imaginary is so tense

Coyote Smith 25-Mar-22 10:58 PM

I might honestly side with one of the groups tbh depending on if I end up switching again down the line

Coyote Smith 26-Mar-22 03:55 AM

After a surprise monolog I've reached my decision

Coyote really starting to replace Dan as one of my favorites because of this

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 10:26 AM

I loved your idea in vault of just fucking

Kicking them out and making them fight in the maze

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 10:28 AM

same

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 10:28 AM

kuro what the fuck

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 10:28 AM

kuro does a lil trolling

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 03:21 PM

wooooooooooooooo

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 04:54 PM

lets fucking GO robbie and zoe uniting against pasq

the thing us

even tho pasq and sleuth are powerful

they have to split up to destroy areas

and

that means people can easily take them down

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 04:54 PM

i'm going to be dealing with cathode and brine next phase

maybe the splitting up will weaken cathode in a meta sense too (having to rp 2 characters is mentally taxing)

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 04:55 PM

OH SIHT

SHITSDFGKSDFG

GODOTS GOING TO PROSECUTE CATH

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 05:11 PM

i have opened one hell of a can of worms

Coyote Smith 26-Mar-22 05:11 PM

Small question

Do I have my gun?

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 05:16 PM

sure

Coyote Smith 26-Mar-22 05:17 PM

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 05:29 PM

god these next few phases are shaping up to be so good

people using everything theyve got to fight off a combination of the eldritch and the metanarrative

Nikola Orsinov

i have opened one hell of a can of worms

well this is a phase

resolution in 13 mins, wow

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 06:48 PM

next phase is going to be fun

I hope you've enjoyed watching this phase as much as I have

oh ABSOLUTELY

My blood boiled many times I think I need a transfusion

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 06:50 PM

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 06:59 PM

gonna wait to lock backstage till they've done their deal

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 07:00 PM

I assume you're taking stage as always?

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 07:05 PM

yeah, i will do

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 07:05 PM

I mean I'm happy to if you don't want to

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 07:05 PM

can i take lobby too?

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 07:05 PM

Sure!

My one thing is for stage

can we PLEASE have the ninetails blizard be like

the hype setup for the kuro+bern clash

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 07:06 PM

yes

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 07:06 PM

What are you thinking about for the result of the unstoppable force vs immovable object?

If you don't have a better idea, I figured one of us could jump in to seperate them

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 07:08 PM

ah.

you see,

!status stage-invisible

MysteryBot BOT 26-Mar-22 07:08 PM

--------ACTIONS--------

ABRAHAM LINCOLN [TehFriedWaffles]: [9] appearing as Abe Lincoln, decloak and then move onto the centerstage into the broadcast and then backstab whoever is on center stage --------MOVEMENT--------

ABRAHAM LINCOLN:

move to the rafters

Instead of !status, use !s to save time!

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 07:08 PM

OH

MY GOD

AHAHAH

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 07:09 PM

the question is...

who does he stab?

im waiting till those ppl in backstage finalise their shit before i start writing

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 07:10 PM

prolly bern? Since her action is way bigger, and she's shoving someone out of the way to preform it

That sounds more "center stage" than kuro just kinda trying to clash with her

Note: Have garcian's shout be heard in the audience & lobby at least

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 07:17 PM

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 07:20 PM

I should probably leave audience to you, since that's kuro involved?

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 07:20 PM

yeah

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 07:20 PM

btw, should I lock backstage now?

Looks like things are mostly resolved

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 07:21 PM

pls

I have been paranoid of Zel taking the key for half an hour now

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 07:22 PM

theyre almost done? i think they have one last clause

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 07:48 PM

gonna get something to eat brb

Elle Woods 26-Mar-22 08:14 PM

I’m so sorry I forgot I could send actions for ages

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 08:14 PM

ksdfsdkfskghfdhk

ok im done with stge

im gonna have to go for ~30 mins

i think the only areas to be done are imaginary/broadcast - leave em to me to rollover

if you could do areadescs and forcemoves, id appreciate that

JESUS FUCK EVERYONE IS ON STAGE

Nikola Orsinov

if you could do areadescs and forcemoves, id appreciate that

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 08:21 PM

Nikola Orsinov

JESUS FUCK EVERYONE IS ON STAGE

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 08:22 PM

THAT'S WHY I OFFERED

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 08:22 PM

i mean

Next phase

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 08:22 PM

ohhjhjjj

i am! debse!

god i cant even spell debse right

DENSE

i hate phone keyboards

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 08:23 PM

debse :DDDDD

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 08:24 PM

ok what I'm going to do

Is open a movespecial between stage and audience

but cancel the view from audience to stage

so

People can split themselves into three areas

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 08:24 PM

yes

good

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 08:24 PM

how many are going into audience?

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 08:25 PM

it's literally just pablo LMAO (edited)

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 08:25 PM

cuz if it's <3 I'd lean towards just making a new stage instantmove instead

OH LOL

yeah go for it

that makes sense

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 08:35 PM

forcemoves look to be already done

what areadescs are there?

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 08:37 PM

actually, I don't think there are any a part from stage

Which isn't done yet

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 08:37 PM

yeah lol, thats what I was confused on

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 08:38 PM

mb

ok im back

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 08:47 PM

updated the stage and audience with the instanmove descriptions, mentioned that the tree had a sigil on it

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 08:48 PM

ty!

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:01 PM

just asking a few players if theyd like to move somewhere else cause theyre gonna be alone next phase

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 09:02 PM

anything I can do to be helpful?

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:03 PM

i think weve done everything

OH WAIT

we need to send

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 09:03 PM

cathode observation?

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 09:05 PM

maia moment

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:05 PM

what should we tell him

"Cathode is guilty of the greatest crime - playing god. He puppets around people with no care for their individuality, and attacks others both physically and verbally, treating them as characters in a game. This cannot stand - you have evidence of him puppeting Pasqualo and Problem Sleuth, and of him shooting Zoe and crashing a train into the stage."

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 09:08 PM

WOOO

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 09:09 PM

WOOOOO

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:09 PM

right

nextphase

as soon as phase starts im gonna

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 09:09 PM

:feral:

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:09 PM

lock and ask people to make good use of the moveinstants

say that if they want another they can ask me

then unlock

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 09:22 PM

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:24 PM

Hey @Amalgam - can we ensure that ooc anger at cath this game doesn't bleed over into in character discussion, thanks

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 09:26 PM

sry maia

but I don't want to bottleneck it now

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:27 PM

what

I am going to finish it

Please do not drag your own multi-game character arc into the face of everyone else, making some people uncomfortable

making who uncomfortable?

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:29 PM

brine and cath have already messaged me

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 09:29 PM

oh...

well fuck

that's a letdown

what do i do now

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:31 PM

I didn't say stop it altogether

just

mayyybe right at the start of the busiest phase wasn't the best time

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 09:31 PM

I've lost all my momentum

and I don't want to make them uncomfortable [because of the backlash]

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 09:45 PM

@Nikola Orsinov caniplease caniplease caniplease caniplease caniplease caniplease it would be like really funny

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:45 PM

no, I'm not letting you metagame to give away caths secrets just because you dislike him

Amalgam 26-Mar-22 09:46 PM

not like he hasn't been metagaming the entire time

Coyote Smith 26-Mar-22 09:46 PM

It do be looking like I'm siding with Brine after all

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:46 PM

WHAT

Coyote Smith 26-Mar-22 09:46 PM

Too much destruction

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:48 PM

amalgam do I need to remind you that you're an NPC

@Amalgam say one more thing that you shouldn't have access to and I'll mute you.

hey @Kurukuru

British Summertime starts tomorrow

which means. you were asking about changing rollover time right

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 09:56 PM

YEAH

I remembered that

tho I didn't have knowledge of exactly when

SO that means we get rollover 1hr earlier?

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:57 PM

yeah - are you ok with that?

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 09:58 PM

HECK YEAH!

That makes it sooo much easier for me

Coyote Smith 26-Mar-22 09:58 PM

Imma just

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 09:58 PM

Cuz I can rollover during my lunch

Coyote Smith 26-Mar-22 09:58 PM

Go to Dan now to make things interesting

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 09:58 PM

ooh ok

Nikola Orsinov 26-Mar-22 10:12 PM

he left the fucking server

Coyote Smith 26-Mar-22 10:14 PM

Damn what

Meta narratives kill

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 10:33 PM

amal what happened?

META NARRATIVE ‼️

jokes aside I hope amal is doing alright, that was wildly frustrating for both sides im sure

Coyote Smith 26-Mar-22 10:35 PM

^

I'm sure amal is fine (edited)

Kurukuru 26-Mar-22 10:38 PM

should we make an announcement that Amal has left?

actually no thatd be unnecessary

Coyote Smith 26-Mar-22 10:43 PM

Who actually brought the train in?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 02:01 AM

hooooolllllyyyy CRUD

@Nikola Orsinov for when you wake up

thoughts?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 05:29 AM

oh gosh

Elle Woods 27-Mar-22 11:55 AM

just want to apologise for my inactivity, I wasn't expecting so much to come up sorry :(

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 12:01 PM

it's fine haha

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 01:38 PM

I'm trying to set stuff up so that the showstoppers arrive in the lobby together, or at least kuro and Bravocat

whilst Godot and Zoe take down Cath in the trial, everyone else gets set up to deal with nyarl

then after that, showstoppers come in for a good ending

Coyote Smith 27-Mar-22 02:30 PM

Thinking about it now

Maybe I can get Cathode off the hook with an insanity plea

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 02:31 PM

dlfkdslkgdfhkdlgjk

Coyote Smith 27-Mar-22 03:58 PM

I am calling pablo smith as a witness

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 03:58 PM

~SDFKSDKGHDFKJFJK

Coyote Smith 27-Mar-22 03:58 PM

Clearly Cathode was unwell during cowritten and was legally insane while designing the game

As much as I dislike the meta narrative, we've gone too deep

Gotta see it all the way to the end

I'm gonna call witnesses from past games to call Cathode insane

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 04:00 PM

caths doing that himself

lemme

Coyote Smith 27-Mar-22 04:04 PM

Good god

Meta narratives truly have been a disaster for objective

Nikola Orsinov

oh gosh

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 05:21 PM

btw they basically said nvm, plans changed

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 05:23 PM

ya i saw

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 06:31 PM

wait, so - rollover in 30 mins, or in 1 hr 30 mins?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 06:32 PM

30 mins

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 06:32 PM

30 mins, right?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:04 PM

bwahahha

ok so

three areas (+ alpha in bar)

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:06 PM

alright

I think first step is

figuring out the cross-area actions

if there are any

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:07 PM

good point

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:07 PM

WTF

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:07 PM

SINCE WHEN DID CATH SUBMIT THIS

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:08 PM

he submitted it so hard that it fucked up the bot

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:09 PM

MYSTERYBOT DOESNT KNOW THE ROLL????

We need to include this in the rollover

genuinely

thats so perfect for the character and action

it genuinely transcentds the bot itself

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:11 PM

ghgdj

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:12 PM

obv if you don't think it's appropriate we dont need to but

like

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:12 PM

afaik theres only one cross-area action and its kuro

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:12 PM

this is the MOST INCREDIBLE THING imo

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:12 PM

no i think its funny haha

Nikola Orsinov

afaik theres only one cross-area action and its kuro

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:13 PM

yeah, that's what Im seeing

2 is the command going through for the tree, btw

!roll 2

MysteryBot BOT 27-Mar-22 07:13 PM

d2 ROLL: 1

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:13 PM

Command fails! Sorry emet

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:14 PM

can we have it go through please

the final days,,,

mostly because i think it would be really funny to see a world fucking falling apart then at the centre of it all theres just a haunted house with a mirror maze

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:16 PM

f-

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:16 PM

i think its only right to sort audience and directors seperately

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:16 PM

fine

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:16 PM

then do stage together?

Kurukuru

fine

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:16 PM

yay!

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:16 PM

actually yeah it only makes sense to set the stage for THE MOST DRAMATIC THING

so yeah good call

Nikola Orsinov

i think its only right to sort audience and directors seperately

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:16 PM

Sounds good!

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:16 PM

which dyou wanna take

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:17 PM

Which would you like?

uuuh

2 is directors box

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:17 PM

oh valvattis taking my accordion (edited)

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:17 PM

!roll 2

MysteryBot BOT 27-Mar-22 07:17 PM

d2 ROLL: 1

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:17 PM

ill take directors

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:18 PM

thats what the dice said too

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:18 PM

im psychic

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:20 PM

you said it after the bot did

THE BOT BEAT YOU TO IT

AHAHAHA

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:21 PM

sobbing

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:32 PM

Alright, done with audience I believe

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:32 PM

im done!

lets get this monstrosity sorted then

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:36 PM

alriiiight

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:36 PM

im just getting the stage design actions done

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:36 PM

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:40 PM

this is lockes performance btw

Martyr.txt

1.03 KB

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:43 PM

Thank you, I was wondering where/what that was

(btw, working on prewriting a base idea of how things go down rn)

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:43 PM

what im thinkin is

-nyarlathotep conflict -locke stuff -cathode and the trial begins -zepia walks on stage and gets hit by a smokebomb

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:47 PM

current thoughts:

okay so

Spark powers up the lights bravocat begins his song, a few audience members begin to attack him, (from bern/emet) but end up hurting themselves Spark makes the lights flash blindingly bright, so that you can't see what's going on You hear lightning strike (spark hitting/attacking nyar) The lights dim as a now-wounded nyar whips spark to the ground, laughing maniacally The laughter is cut short by no-face absorbing nyarlothep whole, his mask cracking and no-face shifting into a more eldritch form (we should discuss what exactly that is lol) Zeipa makes their entrance, but is countered by omen(?)

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:48 PM

yeah i agree

the one thing is

there are three attacks going towards locke.

hes already wounded

but he should be able to reflect some of them

bernkastel is also wounded

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:49 PM

Yeah, I wasn't sure if we should kill locke yet

ACTUALLY IDEA

What if he redirects a few

but not all

and his theme is martyr

So what if he gets a fatal wound that WILL kill him in ~2-3 phases

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:50 PM

ooooh

i think that

ugh how many people are being directly attacked

nyarls taking everything sparks getting counter-attacked bravocats taking a lot but reflecting it at... bern and emet, and pasqualo (edited)

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:53 PM

yeah, I'd say he maybe reflects most of the audience, but takes a full hit from pasq

and that might give him the fatal wound

if we wanna go with that

(also for the whole spark thing, it could be neat for zoe's cheering when spark attacks to turn into a gasp when he's whipped down)

Also maybe there's screaming in the audience by the end of it, but it's immediately shut up by dan smith shooting in the air to bring in godot

actually MAN wtf are we doing with cath

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:56 PM

haha I like that

I was thinking just

doing as he asked

Bringing in the characters for the trial

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:57 PM

That works yeah

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 07:57 PM

one last question

what does lockes performance actually do

remember

Kuro is helping him out

ok I have an idea but

I'm not sure what you'll think of it

what if Bravocat straight up dies here but as the final part of the song the audience rip apart Bernkastel in revenge

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 07:59 PM

Hmmmm

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:00 PM

(also gtg for 10-15 mins)

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:00 PM

How much violence is actually directed to bern? I feel like it would be a bit iffy to kill her basically out of nowhere (edited)

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:07 PM

really don't want to do anything big without you? So I think I'm just gonna hold off

Kurukuru

How much violence is actually directed to bern? I feel like it would be a bit iffy to kill her basically out of nowhere (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:11 PM

my thinking was she was the one directing it all to Bravocat

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:11 PM

OOOOOHHHHH

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:11 PM

so if it's inverted, she gets the downfall too

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:11 PM

YEAH

OKAY

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:13 PM

so... would you be comfortable killing both of them?

I'm. unsure myself. on the fence

I think it would make for a suitably epic rollover - it feels weird to have this giant clash and have noone die

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:14 PM

Thinking like

Spark powers up the lights bravocat begins his song, a few audience members begin to attack him, (from bern/emet) but end up hurting themselves Pasq struggles with the net as the song goes on Bravocat takes off his mask and finishes the song As he takes a bow, members of the audience begin leaping at him in a frenzy! In his dying breath, bravocat chuckles to himself (or maybe calls bern an expletive lmao) The audience seems stirred up into a frenzy, directing their anger at bern Spark grits his teeth and makes the lights flash blindingly bright, so that you can't see what's going on Trainee Chef momentarily points his camera towards Zoe cheering You hear lightning strike (spark hitting/attacking nyar) Zoe gasps as the lights dim as a now-wounded nyar whips spark to the ground, laughing maniacally The audience is going crazy by this point Nyar's laughter is cut short by no-face absorbing nyarlothep whole, his mask cracking and no-face shifting into a more eldritch form (we should discuss what exactly that is lol) Zeipa makes their entrance, but is countered by omen(?)

(edited)

Nikola Orsinov

so... would you be comfortable killing both of them?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:15 PM

On some thought, I'd say so tbh! Especially since we can place them both in the audience

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:15 PM

isn't pasq busy being used as a meat shield

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:16 PM

uuuuh

yeah that's true

ur right

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:16 PM

apart from that I like this

Uhhh

Insert cath/Godot/Dan before zepia

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:17 PM

you sure?

I figured cath's massive everyone is here would make more sense for the finale of the rollover

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:17 PM

caths is the climax

omen is the "haha wait what" at the end

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:18 PM

Alright!

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:19 PM

also I think it would be funny to have nyarl stay inside noface

so he can puppet it from the inside

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:19 PM

I WAS THINKING THAT

Oh yeah we should actually discuss no-face's eldritch form

I was thinking maybe it could be something like

A mesh of tentacles and masks

With no real face, but masks everywhere

but idk how to describe that lol

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:21 PM

oooh

Give em the ability to breathe fire

Cause of the burning stick

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:21 PM

THAT WORKS

WHAT IF ITS

AN ELDRITCh

MASK

DRAGON

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:21 PM

YOOOO

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:23 PM

we ready?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:24 PM

i think so?

also remember to include:

sib filming zoe and then broadcasting bravocat and bern

yeah

ok

lets go

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:25 PM

hooo alright

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:25 PM

how do we wanna split it up?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:26 PM

uh

idk

I think you take bravocat singing, since you've been the one to do that in the past

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:27 PM

you wanna take the stuff about spark and nyarl

and ill take bern and bravocat?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:27 PM

Sounds good!

Original message was deleted or could not be loaded.

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:28 PM

Pinned a message.

that work?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:30 PM

yeah

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:30 PM

then you go ahead with bravocat/the broadcast?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:31 PM

yeah

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:48 PM

wtf how are you so good at this

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:49 PM

ok

phew

im done

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 08:50 PM

okay HOLY CRAP

how tf do I top that lmfao

So I'll just say the lights flash blindingly bringt in the broadcast, then do the stirner stuff in #p9-stage?

does that make sense to you

or should I just make it so that nobody can see what happens

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 08:53 PM

that makes sense to me yeah

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:01 PM

oh also

the tree is reaching its roots into broadcast

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:02 PM

Hm?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:02 PM

!player tree

MysteryBot BOT 27-Mar-22 09:02 PM

Tree

a bare willow tree, it has a sticky note stuck on it that says "I heart U" whoever stuck it on the tree must have been very affectionate. I mean, it's not like the willow could have... Like it's a tree it can't write or stick notes on things... Can it?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:02 PM

BWAHAHA

YEAH

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:08 PM

SHIT WE FORGOT NUPEROPPP

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:10 PM

OH DANGIT

I can do his first aid stuff in the audience rn, then have him shoot the flare onstage, only for no face's mask to crack away, revealing a mouth that swallows the flare whole

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:11 PM

no, i think ive got something

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:11 PM

aight do tell

back to no face?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:17 PM

hell yeah

tonal shift lmao

whatre we doing there

mask eldritch dragon

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:19 PM

Yeah!

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:27 PM

Alright time for cath stuff

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:27 PM

you wanna do it? or shall i?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:30 PM

Ty

And then I can take the zeipa stuff

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:30 PM

zeipa

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:32 PM

zepia

aargh

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:38 PM

wait fuck can you finish off the copy-paste cath stuff

I'm busy with the Helsinki hog

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:39 PM

Sure! WHats up?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:39 PM

just do two more scenes that cath wrote

Nikola Orsinov

I'm busy with the Helsinki hog

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:39 PM

the WHA???

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:39 PM

youve never been to a move night before??

Nikola Orsinov

just do two more scenes that cath wrote

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:39 PM

make sure one of em is the one with the author

Nikola Orsinov

youve never been to a move night before??

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:39 PM

ohh

just two?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:40 PM

or three

Not all of em tho lol

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:45 PM

okay, cath done

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:46 PM

cool, ty!

now just

zepia and omen

(oh and tree)

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:46 PM

And tree

GOD

YOU BEAT ME TO IT

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:46 PM

i say we dont narrate tree

they just

show up in p10-broadcast

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:47 PM

I was thinking I could just say "through the smoke, you can see the tree... shifting?" (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:48 PM

oh sounds good

you wanna do zepia/omen? or shall i

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:48 PM

I can, unless you wanna

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:49 PM

i dont mind either way sdkfgskg

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:49 PM

I can then!

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:49 PM

cool

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:49 PM

wait actually

What do I do about omen sending the shinji chair?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:50 PM

i-

just say like

he sits on his couch and makes that expression

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:58 PM

this is gonna be really funny cause

what i was thinking is

the trial becomes a seperate area

but in the trial, people can only talk about the trial

so theyre yelling images at each other in the stage, whilst trying to communicate about the trial (edited)

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 09:59 PM

LOL

So how do we want to implement the images only phase?

I was thinking we could just say it in the stage areadesc

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 09:59 PM

i was gonna do the same as i did this phase

lock, lay out the rules, then unlock

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:00 PM

(also we should probably cut off the spy from audience to stage)

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:00 PM

i cut that off last phase haha

Nikola Orsinov

lock, lay out the rules, then unlock

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:00 PM

that makes sense!

Coyote Smith 27-Mar-22 10:00 PM

Oh damn that sucks

So much for the trial

Nikola Orsinov

i cut that off last phase haha

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:00 PM

OH OOPS

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:00 PM

nono pablo

the trial is going ahead

people relevant to the trial can speak freely inside it

Coyote Smith 27-Mar-22 10:01 PM

Oh perfect then

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:01 PM

but everyone else can only speak in the trial when requested

ok so uhhh

things to do

-ahmayk profile -stage areadesc -set up trial

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:02 PM

Alright

I can do the profile

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:02 PM

ty!

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:02 PM

Actually we should probably discuss abilities for the profile

lol

or I can just take it if you want?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:03 PM

you can come up with some things then run them by me?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:03 PM

Awesome, will do

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:16 PM

Thinking

**__Character:__** No-Face **__Player:__** Ahmaykmewsic **__Objective:__** Find an obsession in someone else and fully indulge in that obsession. Once I find my obsession, every action I take must go towards feeding that obsession, and I cannot stop until it's mechanically impossible for me to feed it any more through my !do action. **__Ability: Of Undiluted Evil__** You are a horrible, evil thing. Any action made with the intent of harming anyone you see as "evil" or "good" cannot fail. **__Ability: Of Flame and Rage__** You are a flaming, hateful thing. Upon being attacked, your attacker receives a wound with a severity proportionate to the strength of their attack on you. **__Ability: Of Lies and Deceit__** You are a perplexing, deceitful thing. Your form is constantly shifting, and is thus more difficult to severely damage. **__Ability: Of Horror Indescribable__** You are a spiteful, eldritch thing. If both actions would in some way produce chaos, you may take two actions. **__Ability: Of Void Unceasing__** You are an empty, unfulfillable thing. You may consume absolutely anything as a free action. However, attempting to consume a player will provide them an opportunity to fight back in the next phase.

(edited)

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:17 PM

o shit

is this based on everyone hes swallowed?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:18 PM

Primarily, yeah

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:18 PM

thats so cool

the only one im unsure of is

lies and deceit

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:18 PM

yeaaah

I 100% agree that that's the weak link.

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:18 PM

i feel like thats going to cause unnecessary confusion for the one whos supposed to be the final boss

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:18 PM

Hmmm yeah

I just have. No idea what to do for that

Cuz bravocat + all of the trickery and villains is pretty key to his development

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:21 PM

what about uhhh

hmmmm

hhh

im gonna be honest

i cannot think of a single thing

and 5 abilities is a lot

so... would it be bad to drop just one?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:24 PM

hmm

Tbh I really want to do something about deceit?

Since its so key to so many of the characters he swallowed

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:24 PM

thats fair

what about

"Doing the opposite of something you have promised to do will get you a +5 roll bonus"

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:27 PM

hmm

that seems kinda

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:27 PM

i know its basic and boring

i just

cannot think rn sdkfskg

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:27 PM

not the most fitting for a boss enemy?

AA NOOO ITS OKAY

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:27 PM

oh thats true

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:27 PM

YOUVE DONE SO MUCH

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:28 PM

...

how about we send the profile now

and tell ahmayk

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:28 PM

OKAY IDEA

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:28 PM

that well send another when we can

oh?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:28 PM

What if that's just

the generic ability

That explains why he's so survivable

as a boss enemy

We can say "your form is constantly shifting, growing, and shrinking. You are more survivable than most, and enemies will have a harder time seriously injuring you.

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:29 PM

oooooooh i like that!!

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:29 PM

That way it's not too much

But is absolutely makes sense for the char

AND his status as basically the final boss

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:30 PM

yeah haha

ok uhh

you can send that to ahmayk?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:31 PM

Yep!

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:32 PM

OK COOL

NEXTPHASE?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:33 PM

AAAA

ALRIGHT

NEXTPHASE?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:33 PM

lets go

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:33 PM

You did the stage and court?

and dont forget to lock at the start of the stage and court

Alright uh

What we sayin for stage and court

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:38 PM

um

beagle

left

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:39 PM

yes

uh

no big deal since they were inactive for like 8 phases straight?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:39 PM

they never sent a single message

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:39 PM

LOL

Alright then yeah that checks out

aaalllright

Im gonna

stay on call for like 15 mins

in case something goes wrong (not unlikely at this point)

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:41 PM

thats fair! i think everythings fine?

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:41 PM

and then just TAKE A BREAK and think about NOTHING and get something to EAT

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:41 PM

bwahahah

i can finally watch the fuckin movie

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:41 PM

MAN was that one of the rollovers of all time

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:42 PM

fsdjgfsjgh it sure was

hey we actually have a pretty nice distribution of players

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:42 PM

somehow???

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:42 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHA THE SPY DOES A LITTLE TROLLING

KFDFKKDK

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:42 PM

how tf did that happen following p9-catbox-two

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:43 PM

lmao

somethings weird with the trial permissions

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:43 PM

uh oh

uh?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:44 PM

sib and brine can see it??

i dont know why (edited)

OH

maybe its cause they can moveinstant to the stage?

but

brine cant

idk

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:44 PM

uhm?

maybe it's just weird bot stuff

like what happened with smith being able to view stage?

Nikola Orsinov 27-Mar-22 10:46 PM

maybe??

hopefully itll fix itself

i think that tomorrow

(not now im fucking exhausted)

we should talk about when to end the game

Nikola Orsinov

hopefully itll fix itself

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:49 PM

that's what I was thinking

Nikola Orsinov

we should talk about when to end the game

Kurukuru 27-Mar-22 10:50 PM

sounds smart. go take a break, you ABSOLUTELY earned it

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 02:59 PM

Lou's asked that, when they leave, we move them to an area out of the theatre, and give both them and brine permanent view perms to brines area, so the two of them can still talk if they want

they want a break from all the chaos, but still want to be able to talk to someone

Which I think is a good solution

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 03:20 PM

Alright! that's totally fair, yeah!

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 03:43 PM

Bringing Dr. House into this

Also might not shoot Brine depends how this goes

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 03:43 PM

who's Dr House

also I'm loredumping on sado and kuro

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 03:44 PM

I sawwwew

I'm so glad we finally got to explain it

cuz like

pandae had like

0 predetermined lore

and I ended up having to make like 80% of the lore up on the spot when literally everyone started asking

this game we made a TON of lore

and nobody has even raised an eyebrow towards it lmfao

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 03:47 PM

Bwhahahaha yeah

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 03:50 PM

House is a doctor I played during plagued faith

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 03:50 PM

oooh

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:06 PM

ok hm

lets see how many objectives we have left to complete

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 04:09 PM

ahh good call

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 04:10 PM

What's the story with game length btw

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:11 PM

tatari: For tonight, bring down the curtain on the name of "Night of Wallachia" and obtain The Sixth. - will be obtained after giving brine the key spark: Get Paid - ill rp with him soon and offer to pay him for dealing with orion omen: Have a meeting with a therapist, and knit three things, and give each to a friend ninetails: Gather enough paint supplies to control the weather and cause a thunderstorm, a raging inferno, and a blizzard in the game environment in any order - 2/3 done funnyman: syne's abandoned the game bravocat: DEAD noface: completed max: Put on a spectacularly awful play. At the end of the game, anyone not involved in the play, including spectators, will be asked to fill out a survey asking if the play was great or if it sucked. At least 70% of responses must say that it sucked. spy: completed lincoln: completed?? i guess? mask: Chase somebody with a key and either hurt them or get them to drop the key. patches: mia's abandoned the game tree: find my narrative purpose in the game chef: completed sado: completed nagisa: Gain the confidence to put on a play kuro: Attain wealth and peace. godot: complete by the end of the trial bernkastel: DEAD solus: completed zoe: Write a fanfic about two characters valvatti: Record your perspective of the game events in the form of a poem. Optionally, write the poem into a musical piece and sing and record it. robbie: completed (edited)

nyarl: partially complete, but failed jay: Make at least 2 people they consider friends, and act in scene of a play with them. alpha: completed dt: completed sparky: Set someone else up for a major dramatic moment sleuth: Perform Sepulchritude. If this does not happen, don't let anyone take your candy corn. (edited)

Coyote Smith

What's the story with game length btw

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:13 PM

thats what we're figuring out

ok thats every objective

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 04:16 PM

Alright so uh

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:21 PM

it looks like... were mostly done?

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 04:26 PM

Seems like we just need the trial done?

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:26 PM

we need two more performances

max's and nagisas

what im thinking of doing

is trying to get people to end the game with a big performance

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 04:26 PM

Out of curiosity what's the verdict so far

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:26 PM

to open up the exit, essentially

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 04:27 PM

That sounds good

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:27 PM

im gonna say to kuro - hey were missing two directors. if you become a director and round people up for this last play, ill rip apart this theatre and give all the wealth to you

Coyote Smith

Out of curiosity what's the verdict so far

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:27 PM

honestly? i have no fucking clue

its

insane

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 04:28 PM

Just like the verdict

Ngl not even I know whats going on

I think I'm losing?

But at the same time I think I'm winning

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:29 PM

caths said to me that

if he looks like hes definitely going to lose

hes sepulchrituding

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 04:29 PM

No clue what that is

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:30 PM

fucking.

from what i can tell cath wants it to be a sort of nuke

we never actually designed it (edited)

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 04:36 PM

Off the top of my head Tatari: No (might not be possible in a reasonable timespan?) Spark: Not paid yet, but has reason to be Omen: No, might not happen Ninetails: 2/3 iirc Funnyman: Afk lol Bravocat: DEAD LMFAO (but completed his objective) No Face: Basically complete Max: Soon to be complete? (Play this phase, get feedback the next?) Spy: Complete Lincoln: Completed because in retrospect that wasn't much of an objective in the first place Mask: Soon to be Completed (thanks to the deal with tatari) Patches: uhh what happened to them lol Tree: ??? uh??? so??? idk??? Chef: Completed b/c nyar Sado: the SEX Nagisa: Uuuh not really but they're making progress toards it Kuro: Nope Godot: Complete following this phase Bern: Dead but objective kind of complete Solus: Complete Zoe: Not yet complete

Valvatti: Not really done, idk when Nyar: FAILURE B/C OUTPLAYED BY THE SHOWSTOPPERS Jay: Probably not happening lmfao Alpha: Complete Dt: Complete Sparky: No b/c afk Sleuth: Completed for now

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:36 PM

tataris gonna be possible - essentially im gonna have nyarl beam the rumour straight into everyones minds, granting him the transformation immediately

the only one im worried about is omen

cause.

we promised that orion would be a therapist

what about a finishing phase of

13?

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 04:43 PM

hmm yeah

I honestly might go for like

12 even

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:43 PM

i dont wanna cut things too short - ppl are still going

we still need to deal with the trial, noface, two performances, and whatever the fuck tataris doing

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 04:45 PM

Hmm yeah fair

Then yeah

13 Works I'd say

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:45 PM

cool

should we announce that?

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 04:45 PM

I'd say announce it, but I'd also wanna say that it's prone to change.

I can see things going till p14, and/or things going until p12 (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 04:49 PM

yeah that sounds like a good idea.

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 05:02 PM

also

i brought this up yesterday but

what would you think of cath becoming an npc if he pleads for community service

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 05:02 PM

This trial became insanely tense now

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 05:03 PM

it went from silly to serious very quickly

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 05:03 PM

I told cathode house was always in the audience but now he's saying he was in the helicopter and they're jumping on that

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 05:05 PM

LOGIC ERROR

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 05:06 PM

Logic error resolved we still in this baby

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 05:13 PM

Logic error brought back fuck

Login error might not be brought back fuck

What the fuck is going on

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 07:03 PM

ok! rollover time

hey @Kurukuru you around?

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 07:06 PM

Yep!

dibs on directors box/zoe

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 07:12 PM

ooh hell yeah

have fun with that one haha

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 07:17 PM

headcanon: Wow if only I saw how Spark absolutely screwed up, demolished even, Nyarlathotep with his attack, and how Nyarlathotep accidentally (? I dunno maybe they're just really really chaotic!) hit Problem Sleuth and Pasqualo with it's tentacles, sending them flying across the stage! Wow too bad I was blindfolded, would've been funny to see...

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 07:18 PM

quote from vault

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 07:22 PM

I dont think I can let him go completely unharmed since he was visibly wounded in phase 10

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 07:24 PM

ah

you see

zoes wearing her blindfold

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 07:24 PM

OH STILL???

OH MY GOD

BWAHAHA

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 08:02 PM

aight uh

whats left to do?

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 08:02 PM

im just finishing up stage

after that uhhh

-zel gets a new ability and transforms into Arcueid

-new area that DT moves to, them and nyarl can now post in ??? permanently

also merge trial with no-face (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 08:20 PM

ok uhh

zel.

what the fuck do we do there

https://typemoon.fandom.com/wiki/Red_Arcueid

Red Arcueid

Red Arcueid (暴走アルクェイド, Bōsō Arukueido?, Berserk Arcueid), also called Warcueid (ワルクェイド?), is an alternate version of Arcueid Brunestud manifested by Night of Wallachia in Melty Blood. Red Arcueid...

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 08:21 PM

h

wh

Type moon

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 08:25 PM

Thinking we say something like

"Your Marble Phantasm allows you to manifest anything into the world that you can imagine. However, Red Arcueid is driven by her bloodlust, and must consume the blood of another character each phase in order for the rumor to persist."

thoughts?

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 08:34 PM

Uuuh

Yeah!

That works!

Mostly since it's final few phases

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 08:34 PM

yeah

and with that...

nextphase?

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 08:36 PM

...yeah?

Yeah!

Coyote Smith 28-Mar-22 10:34 PM

@Nikola Orsinov I'm going to call you as a witness

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 10:35 PM

WHAT

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 10:35 PM

BSHAHAHAHA

Nikola Orsinov 28-Mar-22 10:36 PM

god this trial is just

amazing

peak objective

Kurukuru 28-Mar-22 10:37 PM

GENUINELY

IT CAME OUT OF NOHERE

AND STOLE THE SHOW

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 04:18 PM

ive talked to cath about how the trial is gonna end

what he wants to do is

-at the end of the trial, we will proclaim him guilty -as we do so, hes gonna activate sepulchritude, blowing up the meta-realm that the trial takes place in -as the explosion clears, it reveals a contract. him giving up his playerhood in this game in exchange for becoming an npc, and activating a multiversal contract style promise of return -sleuth becomes an npc, after we proclaim that cathode has been sentenced to banishment (edited)

are yall ok with this?

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 06:35 PM

@Kurukuru what do you think

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 06:39 PM

metanarratives

But yeah

this is an exceptional resolution I'd say

Kurukuru

metanarratives

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 06:40 PM

yeah... i know

a lot of the stuff around cath this game has made me feel

a little h

but i do think this is the best way to resolve this

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 06:43 PM

Yeah I completely agree

Especially the multiverse contract

thats

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 06:47 PM

brine said in dms

last time, the contract was an offer from the gm

here?

it feels like the player has strongarmed me

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 06:51 PM

Yeah.

It's definitely

iffy?

I wouldn't say it's the end of the world, but

it's definitely something that I'd want to try and preemptively prevent in any future games I host

just kinda unconf

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 06:55 PM

yeah

luckily

the rest of the playerbase dont seem to mind?

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 06:58 PM

I mean

aside from the assorted like 20 vault posts saying it's annoying

yeah

lmao

Coyote Smith 29-Mar-22 07:01 PM

@Nikola Orsinov I didn't finish

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 07:01 PM

ksdfgksdfhkdkhs orry

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 07:02 PM

gimmie ~5 mins, then I'll be available for rollover

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 07:04 PM

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 07:05 PM

I arrive

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 07:06 PM

cool!

one request - can i do stage/noface

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 07:06 PM

Sure!

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 07:06 PM

ty!

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 07:07 PM

I can take treasure ig

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 07:07 PM

sounds good

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 07:20 PM

I assume you'd want to take directors box too, since spark's action is to tear up the contract?

Or should I

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 07:20 PM

yeah, i was gonna include that in the trial

do you wanna take the parts of directors box/stage that are unrelated to the trial, and do them in their own channels

whilst i do the actual trial stuff in no-face?#

lmao what should we do for zels action/nofaces crit fail

Nikola Orsinov

do you wanna take the parts of directors box/stage that are unrelated to the trial, and do them in their own channels

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 07:22 PM

sure, that makes sense!

Nikola Orsinov

lmao what should we do for zels action/nofaces crit fail

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 07:22 PM

No face I was thinking that he could choke on the theater because he's not used to having a physical form

NO IDEA

WTF TO DO WITH ZEL THO

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 07:23 PM

ooh what if

ok so

theres a fuckin explosion going off inside noface

from the trial

so as noface goes to eat the theatre

zel goes "haha bitch" and does the suction thing

which causes fuckin sepulchritude to just. get blasted at the entire theatre

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 07:24 PM

HAT

WHAT

HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK LMFAO

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 07:26 PM

i have no fucking clue

physicists HATE this woman

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:02 PM

what all can I do to help? I'm just doing nothing rn

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:02 PM

i think all rollover descriptions are done?

sorry, i offered you stage then took it myself

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:04 PM

Huh? I thought you wanted stage

Nikola Orsinov

do you wanna take the parts of directors box/stage that are unrelated to the trial, and do them in their own channels

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:04 PM

dfhj

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:07 PM

AARGH

That's my bad lol

I didn't see the stage part

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:17 PM

ok phew (edited)

the worlds most insane rollover

done

ty for doing forcemoves

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:19 PM

there was nothing to do

literally nobody moved

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:19 PM

oh lmao

gonna bring back the view from audience to stage

for sado and kuro next phase

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:20 PM

Kurukuru

literally nobody moved

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:21 PM

actually, there was a few that relied on the rollover? So im doing those rq

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:21 PM

Stuff to Do: -make sleuth npc, pasqualo spectator -areadescs -cut off people from viewing no-face

im gonna have to go for like

20 mins

could you do those?

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:22 PM

yep!

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:23 PM

tysm

Pasqualo Trianglini 29-Mar-22 08:27 PM

OH MAN

NOT COMMUNITY SERVICE

NOW MY MILK IS RUINED

anyways hi yall

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:28 PM

rp in design chat

Pasqualo Trianglini 29-Mar-22 08:28 PM

nah i learned my mistake from cowritten

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:29 PM

LOL

Coyote Smith 29-Mar-22 08:30 PM

No insanity verdict

Pasqualo Trianglini 29-Mar-22 08:31 PM

fucked up

they were pressing hard

Coyote Smith 29-Mar-22 08:32 PM

I think we honestly could've won ngl

But ehhhhhh

Pasqualo Trianglini 29-Mar-22 08:32 PM

honestly think we lost the moment they called spark in as a witness

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:32 PM

alright areadesc time

what even changed

Coyote Smith 29-Mar-22 08:32 PM

Nah spark wasn't a problem at all

The problem was just when you said you were sane lmao

Pasqualo Trianglini 29-Mar-22 08:33 PM

yeah i realized i fucked up hard there

i was considering i could twist it into "oh im just an insane person who thinks hes sane"

but like

multiverse contract is not only cooler it sets up fun shit for later games

plus its simpler

Coyote Smith 29-Mar-22 08:34 PM

I am a firm believer that the insanity verdict would have been the best ending

But yeah its whatever

Now I gotta shoot waffles for stabbing the wrong guy

Pasqualo Trianglini 29-Mar-22 08:34 PM

true true

i might actually do community service i have a funny idea for it

Kurukuru

alright areadesc time

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:42 PM

huh I don't think anything changed

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:45 PM

I'm just going through and saying things are on fire with a green flam

e

because of sepulchretude + no face

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:45 PM

oooh right

ty

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:49 PM

Okay I think e're good?

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:50 PM

tysm for doing that

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:50 PM

didn't do backstage or directors box because I didn't really think it ould make sense for them to catch on fire.

Nikola Orsinov

tysm for doing that

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:50 PM

Aaaaa it's not a big deal!

You've done. SO MUCH. for the rollovers its actually crazy

Pasqualo Trianglini 29-Mar-22 08:51 PM

you killed pasq? im just doin a quick check

also maia mvp

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:51 PM

oop forgot to kill pasq

Kurukuru 29-Mar-22 08:51 PM

good call ty

Nikola Orsinov 29-Mar-22 08:51 PM

I'll move his body to purgatory too, as it got fuckin incinerated

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 02:43 PM

@Playwright should i. uh. stop the nuke?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 02:57 PM

please

somehow

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 03:08 PM

im stuck between 3 separate moral compasses here

the player part of cathode is going "yeah blow it all to high heaven"

the npc part of cathode is going "its probably best if this nuke does not blow up"

and then the part of me that wants to rp as sleuth is going "sleuth is unsure about this, as he has literally used an atom bomb as a weapon before"

as funny as it would be for the nuke to explode i kind of dont want sleuth to die

but also... hm

ok

@Nikola Orsinov keeping in mind that nup is just going to start attacking everybody in stage next phase regardless

what objectives arent complete

fuck actually i was gonna say "create a portal to the imaginary world" but its been established in story that the only reason that worked was because of the paradox

...

MAIA

I JUST HAD A CRAZY IDEA

Pasqualo Trianglini

@Nikola Orsinov keeping in mind that nup is just going to start attacking everybody in stage next phase regardless

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 03:13 PM

huh?

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 03:13 PM

yeah hes

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 03:13 PM

Like

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 03:13 PM

if i read this right the performance is a lure for shakushi

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 03:14 PM

Everyone in the room this phase or just certain people (edited)

Pasqualo Trianglini

if i read this right the performance is a lure for shakushi

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 03:14 PM

thats what lou is saying

but the thing is

ok so nups under two deals here essentially

he can either do the performance successfully for my deal

(good ending)

or pull the rug out from under my feet and shakushi, killing me and kurukuru for brines deal (edited)

(bad ending)

but the thing is.

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 03:15 PM

or the nuke can fall and it doesnt matter

(nuke ending)

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 03:15 PM

nup has not given a single indication as to which one of those he will do

im relying on him doing the former

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 03:15 PM

then its best to talk to him about it, isnt it?

gm to player

unless hes being cagey about it specifically because he doesnt want you to know

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 03:16 PM

oh no im not talking to him purposefully

i like the suspense

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 03:16 PM

the best idea i have at the moment is death coming up and sending the nuke to france

i could try and shoot holes in the nuke or something but i dont think thats going to do much

it might just make the situation worse

bc sepul flames

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 03:18 PM

i think uhh

sado might have a plan to deal with it?

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 03:20 PM

maaaaybe?

is serra going to pull something with the hex?

let me see what her abilities are again

hypothetically

serra could intercept the nuke

as sado

and then because of one of her abilities

the nuke's impact could be glitched out?

oh wait

ok serra's planning on doing something similar but with... moving the nuke to another area

i mean that would work but it relies on her actually targetting the nuke still

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 03:57 PM

Watch we get an everything proof nuke

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 03:57 PM

this is

ok so i think

brine is going to command

sib

to make a very strong box around patches

which would mean

mia literally only nukes themselves

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 03:58 PM

This is fucked

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 04:05 PM

LMAO

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 04:05 PM

the players arent going to be able to do this by themselves

im realizing

mia's juking them too hard

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 04:05 PM

Big thanku for actually getting people aware od the nuke

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 04:05 PM

yeah im glad they're at least aware but i think

i think

yeah actually

there is literally

nothing stopping mia from saying

"oh im doing it later"

and then doing it this phase

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 04:26 PM

brine has sent (edited)

a song.

"And now that you're all watching here... Time for me to put on my show! Lots of fun's been had Lots of fun for me But I believe that it's time for me to go! Of course, I'm not forgetting you, Spark Nothing wrong with you joining my dance You’re today’s star too, after all! You've all been good pawns, yes In my little game You've all obeyed me despite your morals Just for your own gain I've changed some of your futures Twiddled strings and souls too I have caused unspeakable chaos And yet the ones to blame are you! I've made deals, spun your wheels Made you do things you'd never try! But I believe it's time I said goodbye Yes, I think it's time for me to die! Sorry froggie, but now I have to confess You'll just have to live without me and my dress! Don't worry, although I'm going away I can assure you I'll be back one day! The deals, the deals, the deals I've made Brought chaos, death, the price you paid! The deals, the deals, so many... And yet all of you are always crawling back to me! Let's conclude this, now Come on, "HEROES"! Were you expecting me to go down without a fight? HahaHAAAA! Are you ready? ARE YOU READY? Pain and suffering, just for you! Chaos and destruction, just for you! Death and despair, just for you! Bask in it! You're screaming, you're bleeding, you're breaking, all right! And yet when we're all through You can't blame me As you know The only ones here to blame ARE YOU!"

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 04:28 PM

i am

well aware of this song

brine sent it to me last night

i think they want it to be played in rollover

its based off of

friends on the other side from princess and the frog

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 04:48 PM

ok im thinking of what i could do to stop patches - cant try and disarm the nuke because that relies off metaknowledge and im steering clear of that - i could try and kill him but

community service - i could... try what brine was planning on doing and protect the theatre from patches with a very strong box

i could cut his arm off?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 04:49 PM

were missing a lot of actions still

atm im. hoping someone will step in

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 04:50 PM

oh goddamnit

ok

so

if you've seen vault

i hope you know

im going to be out of commission

because waffles is stabbing me

and hes already stabbed pablo

and im the only other npc in stage

the nuke might just. happen

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 04:53 PM

I am shooting waffles

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 04:53 PM

WAFFLES

GODDAMNIT

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 04:54 PM

yeah ok

so that means pablo's going to be out of commission instead of me

because hell be stopping waffles from trying to stab me

so that i can try and prevent the nuke from blowing up the whole game

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 04:55 PM

Oh I'm not stopping him

Just shooting

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 04:55 PM

fuck.

ok well if im being stabbed sleuth's not going to be able to do any imagination shit

because understandably its very hard to think when you have a knife in your back

so im gonna go for shooting patches

its literally the only thing i can do that makes sense

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 05:08 PM

I WAS SO CONFUSED

AS TO WHY MAX WAS TRYING TO GET 10 PEOPLE IN HIS PLAY

THEN I CHECK HIS PROFILE AND

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:09 PM

WAIT

OH MY GOD

WHO ISNT GOING TO FAIL THEN? NYAR?

patches doesnt fail

i dont think

because even with the -5 hes still at 13

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 05:19 PM

You know you guys could just

Not let the nuke happen

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:19 PM

oh yeah

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 05:19 PM

we need a reason to

like

at the end of the day

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 05:19 PM

It would destroy the game

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 05:19 PM

im not going to let it happen

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:19 PM

theres an easy way that i can say it doesnt happen

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 05:20 PM

That's the reason

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:20 PM

"oh its a cursed item, the nuke is a dud"

"he drops it it doesnt go off"

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 05:20 PM

but i want to work it into the narrative

instead of just saying "fuck you no action"

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:20 PM

but

yeah

thats exactly it

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 05:20 PM

¯\(ツ)\/¯

It's your call then

What cathode said works

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:21 PM

because going "fuck you no action" wouldnt be satisfying to mia obv

they want to do the Funny

and theres got to be some reasonable outcome from that that makes sense

from what i know about patches, its completely in character for him to blow up the entire game for laughs

which is why ive been backing it thus far at this point

because just as i dont want my own direction to be stopped, i dont want someone else's direction to be stopped

its just

weighing up how we can make it fair

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 05:25 PM

Yeah

Although from what I'm seeing it looks like the nuke might not happen without any intervention which is alright

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:26 PM

wait wdym

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 05:26 PM

Action wise

Unless I'm misunderstanding everything that's been put on the table with the everything proof box

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:27 PM

yeah

because

brine's going in for the duel with spark this phase

and sib is going to do something with the uhhhh

retcon video they recorded

as cinematographer

so if the everything proof box happened

itd be next phase

when

the nuke has already dropped

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 05:37 PM

Oh I see

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 05:49 PM

idea: What if we let them hold onto the nuke until the next phase?

So, like. They produce the nuke

But don't use it quite yet

So instead of having an out of the blue literal game nuke

It's instead more material for a climactic p13

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 05:50 PM

oh thats

a good idea

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:50 PM

if its held onto till p13 its not happening because of nyar, and we're more likely to get a standard happy ending

because remember

cosmic favor

theres nothing wrong with that but

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 05:51 PM

isn't trainee chef using that this phase?

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:51 PM

no

they're going for the retcon tape

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 05:51 PM

ohhh

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 05:52 PM

also serra just did something very interesting

big troll move

i have a sneaking suspicion zel may go joker mode next phase

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 06:16 PM

sobbing

we were so close

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 06:40 PM

looks like we're going to need to come up with some explanation for how the nuke ends up failing then because if theres as many people participating in the performance as i think thats getting close to like 20/30

lessee

max, robbie, patches, [im not sure if the tree counts], sleuth, omen, noface, zoe, spark, nyar, ninetails, spy, emet, sado, nagisa, godot, ...kuro?, coyote smith thats 18 its hard to delineate because a lot of these are chain reactions from events that ARE performances

eg ninetails is helping spark, theres a massive chain where godot and coyote are trying to stop spy - and spy is trying to stab me - and im participating in the performance

robbie's prop designer and noface wants to eat him

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 06:47 PM

I guess the critfails could end up doing something to interrupt the nuke?

Because max's ability is that other people's critfails end up benifitting him

And I don't think that he'd want to be nuked

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 06:47 PM

logically, no

i agree

oh ok

we just reached 20

froggy is broadcasting the performance

and phanto mask is choosing to protect spark

which would logically mean

everyone gets a -10 to their rolls?

YOU CRITFAIL AND YOU CRITFAIL AND YOU CRITFAIL! EVERYONE GETS A CRITFAIL

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 06:57 PM

AHAHAH

EXTREMELY

TEMPTED

to go for that

legit like 80% of people just critfail

everything goes wrong

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:00 PM

ok no more umineko

lock time

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 07:01 PM

No more umineko

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:02 PM

nooooooooo more umineko! noooooo more red truths!

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:03 PM

noooo more witches

goodbye, cath

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:03 PM

sado literally being a cartoon villain

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:05 PM

oh boy

this sure is a rollover

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:05 PM

yeah

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:06 PM

ok uhhh

stage, lobby, audience

i gave spec view perms for stage cause his action was just merged into that

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:07 PM

lobby's easy as piss, audience you could honestly roll into the flow you have for stage rollover

because its basically just kuro makes axe sado goes up on stage with axe fucks with play

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:08 PM

true

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:12 PM

Be available in ~15 mins

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:12 PM

cool!

ill hold off on doing stage till then

wanna do that together cause.

its BIG

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:13 PM

shoutouts to late start wednesdays for ruining all potential for me to schedule

Nikola Orsinov

wanna do that together cause.

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:13 PM

yeah that's smart

Nikola Orsinov

its BIG

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:13 PM

also,

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:14 PM

SHUT UP

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:15 PM

ehehe

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:28 PM

hi im back

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:28 PM

hi back

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:28 PM

hi back im dad

YOU BEAT ME TO IT

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:29 PM

beat you to it

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:29 PM

I

HAHA

I M\BE\A

BEAT YOU TO SAYING THAT YOU BEAT ME TO IT

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:29 PM

sobbing

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:33 PM

alright

we should probably uh

plan out wtf wwe're doing for stage

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:34 PM

stuff revolving around nyarl goes last

for the climax

so uhh

-maxs stuff and anything related to him first -various minor conflicts -patches gets a nuke but sleuth shoots him out of his action -nyarl (edited)

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:36 PM

ACTUALLY

should we make a list of who critfails

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:36 PM

kdkfsdfkghkdh yes

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:36 PM

and are we doing the -10 because 20 people are participating (edited)

>15 person rollover

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:37 PM

i was gonna keep it at -5 cause

cath had a rather large overestimate of how many people were actually participating

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:38 PM

~~i just want it all to crash and burn~~

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:39 PM

people who critfail with -5:

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:39 PM

Critfails (for -10):

Emet Lincoln Godot (both) MAX (bialystok) Nagisa Phanto mask problem sleuth Robbie Rotten Spark (tho we probably shouldnt count him) Tree

(edited)

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:39 PM

oh lol

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:39 PM

nah thats for -10

so -5 is still helpful

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:39 PM

for -5 its less

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:40 PM

depending on hat we ant to go for

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:40 PM

notably a lot of key players still tho

Nikola Orsinov

people who critfail with -5:

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:40 PM

godot, max, phanto, tree, lincoln, sleuth, robbie (edited)

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:40 PM

what?

doesnt max's ability

turn any rolls from 1-3 into a critfail

or does that only apply without modifiers

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:41 PM

OH TRUE

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:41 PM

Hm?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:41 PM

i forgot about that

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:41 PM

It applies after modifiers

OH LOL

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:41 PM

because if its after modifiers then yeah sleuth is critfailing which is why im mentioning

Nikola Orsinov

godot, max, phanto, tree, lincoln, sleuth, robbie (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:41 PM

ok so this is anyone with 8 or less

Coyote Smith 30-Mar-22 07:42 PM

Skill Issue: The Phase

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:42 PM

and if sleuth critfails then you're gonna have to wacky up a way for patches to be stopped

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:43 PM

OR

We go with the critfails working against the nuke

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:43 PM

i really like that as an idea

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:43 PM

Cuz once again

Ability: Profiting from Misfortune If anyone around you rolls 1-3, it is immediately rolled down to a crit fail! The result of this crit fail will always benefit your action somehow.

(edited)

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:43 PM

wait so

-max announces play -mia pulls out nuke -everyone who critfails somehow points their fail towards the nuke

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:44 PM

yeah which. is going to be interesting

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:44 PM

Not necessarily everyone? But yeah that's the best explanation I can think of lol

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:45 PM

ok so like

get the "silly stuff" out the way first

we can kind of just

roll with that?

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:46 PM

alright?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:46 PM

actual conflicts are

godot/garcian/spy/sleuth/patches (edited)

robbie/noface

zepia/sado/nyarl/zoe/spark/mask

and then relating to the play we have

chef/sleuth/robbie/patches/omen/nagisa/jay/emet/max/lincoln

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:49 PM

Alright, so low-impact actions we can do straight up

tree Frog broadcast beginning Omen singing? godot I'd say (real one not spy) emet? Maybe?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:50 PM

gonna start it off, get tree, frog and max outta the way.

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 07:54 PM

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 07:56 PM

ok im gonna have everyone whos participating gather on stage

then patches bursts on

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 07:57 PM

sounds good

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:04 PM

ALRIHGT

THINGS GOIN DON

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:04 PM

what im gonna do is

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:04 PM

I do think it ould be funny for abe to mistakenly assume that patches' intentions are good and attempt to help?

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 08:04 PM

YES

lmao

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:05 PM

-cath tries to stop him -robbie jumps, accidentally throwing his banana peels everywhere -cath slips on the bananas

LOL i was gonna have abe decide that max was the most honest and duet with him

but that's funnier

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:06 PM

Yeah so like

Abe goes to help patches

but slips too

and falls into patches (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:08 PM

LOL

i was gonna have uhh

jay's fireworks

go off and knock the bomb into the backstage

where it rolls out into the maze

and detonates

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 08:09 PM

jay, the true hero of the game

im for that

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:09 PM

YEAAAAHHHH

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 08:09 PM

zucchini hasnt got enough of a spotlight

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:09 PM

IM SO FOR THAT

100% go for it

And then I can take uuh

the finale/nyarl/spark stuff

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:11 PM

cool!

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:11 PM

if that works?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:11 PM

as youre doing that, ill do the stuff down off the broadcast

with the godots and noface

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:20 PM

Alright so

Nyar breaks out in song (because okay) spark + mask tense up nyar goes to strike, spark dodges, then is protected by mask Spark begins charging up + firing the laser Nyar goes to strike him, but can't because of sado caving in the stage Spark kills nyar Zepia notices the afterimage of sado from the effect, grabs them, and pulls them to an "in-between" area (because I feel like they had a LOT for one action lol)

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:21 PM

sounds good!2

notes on zel

Nikola Orsinov

"And now that you're all watching here... Time for me to put on my show! Lots of fun's been had Lots of fun for me But I believe that it's time for me to go! Of course, I'm not forgetting you, Spark Nothing wrong with you joining my dance You’re today’s star too, after all! You've all been good pawns, yes In my little game You've all obeyed me despite your morals Just for your own gain I've changed some of your futures Twiddled strings and souls too I have caused unspeakable chaos And yet the ones to blame are you! I've made deals, spun your wheels Made you do things you'd never try! But I believe it's time I said goodbye Yes, I think it's time for me to die! Sorry froggie, but now I have to confess You'll just have to live without me and my dress! Don't worry, although I'm going away I can assure you I'll be back one day! The deals, the deals, the deals I've made Brought chaos, death, the price you paid! The deals, the deals, so many... And yet all of you are always crawling back to me! Let's conclude this, now Come on, "HEROES"! Were you expecting me to go down without a fight? HahaHAAAA! Are you ready? ARE YOU READY? Pain and suffering, just for you! Chaos and destruction, just for you! Death and despair, just for you! Bask in it! You're screaming, you're bleeding, you're breaking, all right! And yet when we're all through You can't blame me As you know The only ones here to blame ARE YOU!"

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:22 PM

alright THERE the song is

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:22 PM

remember that both ninetails and zoe are buffing sparks attack

Original message was deleted or could not be loaded.

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:23 PM

Pinned a message.

alright

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:25 PM

wait i thought this was being broadcasted

not just on stage

@Kurukuru

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 08:26 PM

@Kurukuru

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:26 PM

YEP

THX

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:27 PM

ok im done you can take the broadcast

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:27 PM

I'll say like

Trainee chef points his camera towards nyar

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:27 PM

sounds good

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:46 PM

remember ninetails

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:47 PM

Okay yeah, I got it

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:53 PM

oh uhh

and sado

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:53 PM

already on it

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 08:53 PM

asjkdkasf sorry

just makin sure

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:53 PM

Yeah np at all!

I'd much rather be safe than sorry lol

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 08:54 PM

reminder not to forget about zepia either

/arcueid/tatari

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 08:55 PM

Gonna do them last, since my plan is them kind of reacting to sado distorting the stage with their action

PHEW

Okay nyarlathotep done

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:01 PM

bwahhahaha

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:01 PM

Now tatari shenanagains

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:02 PM

nicely done!

long rollovers are fun

oh, and trainee chef picks up the strings.

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:04 PM

For tatari, since they do need to drink the blood of one person per phase

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 09:04 PM

they're planning on drinking sado's right?

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:05 PM

I'm thinking they tear open the distortion, leap in, and grab sado, and drink their blood

and probably make an "in-between" glitch area to focemove the both of them to

ah fair maia

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:07 PM

ooh i like that

id let them moveinstant out of it tho, cause of the ending

im also gonna connect up the audience to the stage again for the ending

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:07 PM

oh yeah

I mean

the implication is it's hat sado uses to instantmove

so that's for granted

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:08 PM

oh true

Nikola Orsinov

Click to see attachment 🖼️

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:10 PM

zel note

how does arc laugh

like

is it an ahahaha

yeah I'll just go with that ig

actually

I can just say they laugh maniacally

alright so arcrueid is like

a vampire

right?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:17 PM

yeah

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:17 PM

Planning on telling a sado something along the lines of "a clawed hand pulls you to a realm you're oh-so-familiar with."

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:18 PM

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:18 PM

actually

that makes more sense to just dm to them

lol

ACTUALLY gonna mention that sado gets bitten vampire-style in the dm too

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:21 PM

should probably tell zel that she bit her too

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:22 PM

yeah, was planning on it.

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:31 PM

Think I got everything relating to zel done?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:31 PM

how did you set up the rules?

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:32 PM

Added a rule saying that zel can move anywhere from the in-between, and that they can moveinstant to sado

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:32 PM

zel can move anywhere from inbetween, and can then move back to sado

ok

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:32 PM

Does that make sense to you?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:32 PM

yeah, that works

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:32 PM

uuh did we kill nyar yet

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:33 PM

yup

i think weve got everything?

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:33 PM

uuuh

stage description changes?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:34 PM

what needs to change there? (edited)

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:34 PM

no idea if there is anything to change, actually

zoe and mask got wounds?

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:34 PM

didnt do that

donne

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:36 PM

then uuuuuh

I think we're good?

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 09:36 PM

did

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:36 PM

wait

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 09:36 PM

spark get wounds?

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:37 PM

if the mech got destroyed, should we remove zoe's umbrella attached to the mech

Pasqualo Trianglini 30-Mar-22 09:37 PM

and also masks ability means that they cant get wounds unless the key is damaged

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:37 PM

oh true

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:37 PM

OH true

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:38 PM

done

nextphase?

Kurukuru 30-Mar-22 09:40 PM

I think so!!!

Nikola Orsinov 30-Mar-22 09:40 PM

cool!!

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:00 PM

ok

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:05 PM

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:15 PM

PFFFF

Pasqualo Trianglini 31-Mar-22 07:15 PM

meanwhile, superb: "i just want to take the stage out on a tourism trip"

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:16 PM

Alright

I assume we're collabing on stage

like last time?

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:17 PM

yeah

first up, mask, sleuth, ninetails and froggie set the stage

with Zel doing her thing to make the crimson moon rise

then kuros speech

then various assorted chaos of the play

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:18 PM

zel action

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:19 PM

then as zel gets her magic or whatever, bravocat comes back for his final song

then boom

exit opens

and we all get the fuck outta here

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:20 PM

Eh? (edited)

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:21 PM

WAIT i didnt post lockes song

Pasqualo Trianglini 31-Mar-22 07:21 PM

ori did you not see zel's new action

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:21 PM

I assume we're still doing all the stuff in between first though?

Pasqualo Trianglini 31-Mar-22 07:21 PM

OH

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:21 PM

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:28 PM

notable bits: robbie making a cake and noface eating it pop is writing a song that they havent finished yet spy stabs and kills sleuth patches is eating bananas then being killed by omen max is eating saekraut and getting poisoned sado, nagisa, jay, zoe, spark are participating in the actual play emet-selch is causing an elemental darkness explosion on stage alpha is evolving into a larger bydo?? (edited)

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:29 PM

what are we doing with no-face copying robbie's action?

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:29 PM

no-face makes TWO CAKES and eats them both

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:30 PM

I was thinking that no-face makes like

a gormet for robbie

but it's secretly health food, hich robbie despises

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:30 PM

OH THATS GENIUS

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:33 PM

I'm imagining like

Robbie makes a cake, overdoes it, giving it like 3 layers No face eats it, then kinda just apparates a gormet dinner for robbie They both eat it slight pause IT'S AWFUL WTF

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:33 PM

asdgkksg i love that

ok uh

wanna get started?

if you want, ill take everything up until the start of the performance proper/funny people doing silly things

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:35 PM

uuuh sure!

My one idea is it would be cool of the fire people incrementally added to the flames

So like, it starts with trainee chef just adding a bit of flames

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:36 PM

oooh i like that

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:36 PM

The flames rise during the heightened tension

And then for the finale ninetails burns it all don

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:37 PM

got it

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:52 PM

@Kurukuru you wanna take over?

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:53 PM

Sure!

Soo lets see

Alright, current plan is

problem sleuth steps up and intensifies the flames Spy stabs him, but I don't think we let him die lol The firey scenery is so nice that zoe takes off her blindfold Robbie stuff

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 07:57 PM

sounds good!

also include uhh

max eating saekraut

just lumping the unconnected actions together

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 07:58 PM

ISNT THE SAUERKRAUT POISONED?

from like

stirner poisoning it a REALLY long time ago

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 08:00 PM

YEAH

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 08:00 PM

LOL

Pasqualo Trianglini 31-Mar-22 08:03 PM

YEAH

BRINE DID THAT ON PURPOSE

i nearly typed "did that on purples" and ngl brines constant existence is a purple guy larp some of the time

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 08:04 PM

pops sending in his song

Toss A Coin To Your Witcher (INSTRUMENTAL VERSION)

When a humble bard Found one final job An establishment with A creative mob With partners of all kinds The bard put on his hat He couldn’t be director No, that’d be a cat No sooner than the start Before we could prepare The flames already began To singe his hair The bravest musician Took off his best coat He beat off the flames and Just cleared his throat What a ride in this theatre Oh actors a’plenty Oh actors a’plenty Woah Say goodbye to this theatre Forever in memory Shame the flames had spread ‘Cross the wooded halls The bard had to dip out For he had no balls He then met with a fox god A true patron of arts They discussed philosophy And bonded their hearts What beautiful art The two artists made The ink and the music Mightier than any blade Then it got real weird I think there was a trans- Dimensional sacrifice, oh, Those Lovecraft fans! What a ride in this theatre Oh drama a’plenty Oh drama a’plenty Woah Say goodbye to this theatre Forever in memory What a ride in this theatre Oh villains a’plenty Oh heroes a’plenty Woah Say goodbye to this theatre My time to retire

(to be posted one paragraph at a time)

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 08:10 PM

oh my godddd my connection

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 08:10 PM

oh gosh

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 08:33 PM

Alright uh

What all do you want to do?

Because I'm starting to worry that at this rate all I'm doing is wasting time

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 08:34 PM

no youre doing great!

uhh

ill take the performance itself

theres one more thing to do before then i believe?

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 08:34 PM

Alright!

Alpha evolving?

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 08:34 PM

alpha transforming into a different bydo

Nikola Orsinov

omen and patches

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 08:41 PM

Also I thought patches wanted to wait until the encore? Or should I just do that now lol

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 08:42 PM

eh do it now

it wouldnt make sense to do it at the climax

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 08:42 PM

makes sense

It would kinda ruin the drama lol

Alright, I think that's everything?

Nikola Orsinov 31-Mar-22 08:47 PM

ok, cool!

Kurukuru 31-Mar-22 08:47 PM

gonna delete what I posted

And start over

Pasqualo Trianglini 02-Apr-22 07:49 PM

good idea

Kurukuru 02-Apr-22 07:52 PM

ok so

April 14th, 1863. Abraham Lincoln sits comfortably watching Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre, when unbeknownst to him, someone sneaks up behind him... But history is altered when the shot is deflected by Abe's protective top hat! Lincoln goes on to lead American to utopian greatness.

Nikola Orsinov 02-Apr-22 07:52 PM

ok hi I'm here

Kurukuru 02-Apr-22 07:52 PM

Character: Abraham Lincoln Player: 404 Objective: See a nice show at the theatre and have nothing bad happen :) Ability: The Constitution With the agreement of others, you can form a constitution - a set of rules that everyone who agreed to it must follow. Everyone who agrees to these rules gets view permissions to a Court area. if someone breaks the rules, a trial is set up within the court, where everyone who voted on the rules may decide a punishment for the rule breaker. the GMs are also able to view the court, and they have final say on the possible limits of a punishment. if a tie occurs, as President, your vote decides. Ability: Honest Abe At any time, you can accuse someone of being dishonest in their intentions. If you prove to be true, the accused will be brought to Justice. If you prove to be incorrect, repercussions will follow. Role: Actor By giving a strong performance on-stage as the archetype "honest", you will gain favours from the audience!

@lincoln LIBERATED LIBERATOR ENDING

Nikola Orsinov 02-Apr-22 07:53 PM

put the picture between the ending description and the profile

Kurukuru 02-Apr-22 07:53 PM

no I stil need objectives

AND PFP

GOD

Nikola Orsinov 02-Apr-22 07:53 PM

then yeah objective completion after profile

remember you can get profiles from threads

that's the easiest way

Pasqualo Trianglini 02-Apr-22 07:54 PM

objective shouldnt be too hard

Kurukuru 02-Apr-22 07:55 PM

Pasqualo Trianglini 02-Apr-22 07:55 PM

pfp is a bit difficult, your best bet is looking through bot channel imo (edited)

there we go

Kurukuru 02-Apr-22 07:57 PM

Objective Complete? YES Lincoln enjoyed a "nice" performance from the audience in phase 9.

Nikola Orsinov 02-Apr-22 08:05 PM

I can take it from here

Kurukuru 02-Apr-22 08:05 PM

I'll do bern then hand it over

Nikola Orsinov 02-Apr-22 08:06 PM

Kurukuru 02-Apr-22 08:09 PM

I'm so sorry I fumbled doing the endings so hard

Nikola Orsinov 02-Apr-22 08:12 PM

Skdks it's fine

Pasqualo Trianglini 02-Apr-22 08:17 PM

its cool

Pasqualo Trianglini 02-Apr-22 08:29 PM

we forgot orion

Nikola Orsinov 02-Apr-22 08:29 PM

we also forgot entoma

but uh

eh. they don't get ending text

Pasqualo Trianglini 02-Apr-22 08:31 PM

can

can i write an ending for entoma i have actually a really good one

that works with the established lore

Nikola Orsinov 02-Apr-22 08:31 PM

sure!

Pasqualo Trianglini 02-Apr-22 08:33 PM

is that good

it just popped into my head and i was like "wooooooah"

i want to write an ending for orion but i dont think it would be a good idea for me to do it

Kurukuru 02-Apr-22 08:37 PM

There's not really a whole lot we can do about orion that would be in good taste

Nikola Orsinov 02-Apr-22 08:38 PM

yeahh

Pasqualo Trianglini 02-Apr-22 08:38 PM

its a powderkeg. i

want to give them an ending but i feel like any potential ending may get a negative reaction... maybe... hm.

ok. i have an idea. im going to keep it extremely simple.

What happened to Orion after the Theatre? Most don't know. I invite you to make your own conclusions.

Nikola Orsinov 02-Apr-22 08:40 PM

umineko ending

Pasqualo Trianglini 02-Apr-22 08:40 PM

basically yeah
