<Carthage> Alright, just for posterity how many people would be *interested* in joining my game? There'll be an application but I kinda want a general headcount
12:49 PM <Faustus> Mishie: If I could pay ATLUS twice for P5 I would gladly do so
12:49 PM
<Mishie> I can think of more than a few people who would instantly apply before even reading the full campaign doc Carthage
12:49 PM I can respect that Faust
12:49 PM
<Carthage> ah
12:49 PM i see
12:49 PM — Faustus rings the new campaign bell
12:50 PM
<Salow> i'm one of them
12:50 PM
<Mishie> It's just that personally I mainly play/read/watch shit for the plot, so I'm not really a huge fan of replaying.

— Carthage swings the "get back" stick
12:53 PM
<Salow> poor thing
12:54 PM
<Teller> Swing the "banned from my campaign if you harass me" stick. It's bigger and more effective.
12:54 PM <Saff> I love that stick teller
12:54 PM it's a great sick
12:54 PM *stick
12:54 PM
— Carthage searches in my trunk for the "ban hammer"

<Carthage> yes
2:31 AM <soulpelt|> uhhh
2:31 AM shit
2:31 AM that's like
2:31 AM the last thing i usually make
2:31 AM
<Carthage> I guess I should've specified, the real name of your character
2:31 AM not their cape name
2:31 AM <OverThal> ...that'd be hard still
2:32 AM Since you could pick a girl's name, then roll a trigger that makes them a boy.
2:32 AM
<Carthage> that can happen?
2:32 AM
<Forgery> yes
2:32 AM
<Carthage> how does that work?
2:32 AM <OverThal> Yuuuuup
2:32 AM
<Forgery> It becomes an awkward changer
2:32 AM or a PR disaster
2:32 AM
<Carthage> So the actual trigger event changers their gender?
2:32 AM <OverThal> You roll a $trigger and they usually have something specific about the character in it
2:32 AM
<Carthage> freaky
2:32 AM <OverThal> ...no
2:32 AM
<Forgery> no, as in the trigger requires a male triggeree
2:32 AM
<Carthage> mind if I test it real quick?
2:32 AM <OverThal> ^
2:32 AM <•ColdGold> Carthage you make a male character and then get a trigger about a woman who's mom rips up their wedding dress or some shit
2:33 AM <soulpelt|> most apps are like 'username, timezone, why you wanna play, example of playing, what you wanna play'
2:33 AM <OverThal> ColdGold: I think that's literally trigger 1

6:56 AM <Spellspin> that's like, an hours time right?
6:56 AM
<Carthage> just about yeah
6:57 AM <Spellspin> Sweet.
6:57 AM
<Carthage> I also just wanna throw it out there to anyone who applied, please don't be offended if you don't get chosen
6:57 AM I'll probably have another campaign after this one and you'll be on the list
6:58 AM Actually, I'm gonna bump it to 5 people
6:58 AM I think I can handle that
6:58 AM
— Mishie shrugs
6:58 AM
<Mishie> you do you
6:58 AM Although it'd probably be easier to start off small and then add more if you want to

6:59 AM
<Carthage> A few people who applied have GM'd before so I may ask for their input time-to-time
7:00 AM But i've run campaigns of 7, it's just I don't know Weaverdice rules super well

7:01 AM
<Salow> oh did you pick already?
7:01 AM
<Jackknife> woop :)
7:01 AM
<Mishie> better luck next time spelt
7:01 AM
<Carthage> not quite yet
7:02 AM picks are at 5 PM
7:03 AM <Flitter> The campaigns of 7, were those of the more normal tabletop sort? Everyone together for one session?
7:04 AM
<Carthage> roll20
7:04 AM online
7:04 AM which, you know, had scheduling problems of its own
7:05 AM <soulpelt|> hey mish, read before you quip, eh?
7:05 AM
<Mishie> I did
7:05 AM ;)
7:05 AM ⇐ flak quit (kvirc@net-i1b6h5.157.yarnet.ru) Quit: {#`%${%&`+'${`%&NO CARRIER
7:05 AM
<Carthage> poor flak was taken by [REDACTED]
7:06 AM <Flitter> Yeah, worth noting that (from my experience), because WD is traditionally 1on1 sessions, it's less about being able to wrangle large amounts of players and instead more of just managing lots of individual sessions, which I recommend starting with a lower player count and scaling up if you have the time.
7:06 AM which is why*
7:06 AM
<Carthage> Then maybe I'll keep it at 4 for now
7:06 AM top picks, and then the odd man out gets the first slot
7:07 AM Along with the others
7:07 AM and if this campaign goes smooth enough for a session or two, I'll add in another
7:08 AM I'll be back on around 4:45
7:08 AM then I'll make my picks then

7:52 AM I blame my timezone x3
7:52 AM
<Olivebirdy> Cool, thanks Carthage.
7:53 AM
<Salow> nicce
7:53 AM
<Carthage> The first game is most likely going to be on Saturday
7:53 AM be there or be square
7:53 AM times will be as follows:
7:53 AM <soulpelt|> you can put the doc info in the topic, carth
7:54 AM when you wanna do powergen?
7:54 AM
<Salow> was about to ask that
7:54 AM should we write triggers already or will yo get from the doc
7:55 AM
<Thalia> We have a trigger list
7:56 AM
<Carthage> let's move the convo to the #WDNewOrleans chat
7:56 AM Can all players please move to that chat
7:58 AM <soulpelt|> $invite #WDNewOrleans
7:58 AM $join #WDNewOrleans
7:58 AM we can roll triggers here since there's more folks
7:59 AM unless you want to do it in channel
7:59 AM
<Carthage> no no, we can do it here
7:59 AM let's roll triggers
8:01 AM ok, so how do we do that? What was that command again? $trigger?
8:01 AM <soulpelt|> yes the person rolls it
8:01 AM and others make the power
8:01 AM
<Carthage> ok, who wants to go first?
8:02 AM <soulpelt|> I'm down to
8:02 AM
<Teller> Do you have enough people here to gen?
8:02 AM <soulpelt|> carth, spell, thal, sel, olive, you
8:02 AM
<Mishie> Those are some fascinating assumptions
8:02 AM
<Teller> I am not available for a gen right now.
8:02 AM <soulpelt|> those are the last people who posted in the last... 10 minutes
8:03 AM
<Teller> Do they want to gen, though?
8:03 AM
<Carthage> Hmm, perhaps we should wait then?
8:03 AM
<Salow> yeh, let's wait
8:03 AM
<Carthage> Perhaps I should come back at 6?
8:03 AM
<Mishie> Well it's only new years eve for some people, it's not like they have anything better to do?
8:04 AM oh
8:04 AM
<Salow> im available, but shouldnt at least the players be around?
8:04 AM
<Olivebirdy> Sure, I'll help gen.
8:04 AM
<Mishie> That would probably be slightly helpful
8:05 AM
<Carthage> I thought Spell and Antioch were still here
8:05 AM <Spellspin> Hi
8:05 AM I am here, yes for maybe a hal hour or so
8:06 AM
<Carthage> ah
8:06 AM well that's everyone but Anti
8:06 AM <Spellspin> Gotta head in to work then
8:06 AM
<Pink> Interesting choices. I can't forsee any issues whatsoever.
8:06 AM
<•Antioch> I’m here-ish
8:06 AM Phone is close to death, though
8:06 AM <soulpelt|> ohno
8:06 AM
<Mishie> rip
8:06 AM
<Carthage> gee whiz
8:06 AM if we can gen right now, maybe Anti should go first
8:07 AM <soulpelt|> makes sense. You want someone to roll luck for you anti should your phone die?
8:07 AM
<Thalia> Pick me
8:07 AM
<Carthage> That's 4 players, me, maybe 2 or 3 others
8:07 AM should be enough right?
8:07 AM
<Salow> sure
8:08 AM
<Carthage> Well, Antioch you wanna go first?
8:08 AM
<Salow> is he d-dead
8:08 AM
<Carthage> or his phone his
8:08 AM is*
8:08 AM
<Salow> perhaps
8:09 AM
<•Antioch> Who’s currently available to gen?
8:09 AM
<Carthage> Antioch, if you want to wait we can do this another time
8:09 AM we could start with soulpelt
8:10 AM
<Salow> i can go too
8:10 AM
<Mishie> Antioch: looks like you've got spelt, Olivebirdy, Salow and Carthage!
8:10 AM <Spellspin> ...
8:10 AM Fuck me, I guess
8:10 AM :P
8:10 AM <soulpelt|> xD
8:10 AM
<Carthage> or Spell
8:10 AM it doesn't matter to me
8:10 AM roll rock paper scissors for all i care
8:10 AM Actually, Spellspin might be the better deal
8:10 AM
<Mishie> Spellspin: didn't you literally just say that you're leaving in like 30 mins?
8:11 AM
<Carthage> he has to go to work soon
8:11 AM <Spellspin> Yeah but like I'm /here/
8:11 AM smh
8:11 AM
<Carthage> Well Spell, wanna roll?
8:11 AM <Spellspin> Oh, sure.
8:11 AM
<Carthage> get ready folks
8:11 AM
<Olivebirdy> Ready.
8:11 AM <Spellspin> Trigger me timbers!
8:11 AM $trigger
8:11 AM Channel mode set to +m by •[ATM]
8:11 AM
<•[ATM]> Spellspin [12]: From the earliest age possible, your parents had you put into extensive ice skating training.  Your mother made it to the Olympics, and your father was generally considered a world renowned trainer, so understandably the expectations they held you up to were lofty.  The training itself was grueling, giving you little time to anything beyond your studies of the sport.
8:11 AM It continued like this for years, with every attempt to live up to your parent's expectations failing entirely.  It's not until you hit the cold, well-worn floor of the ice rink for the umpteenth time that you finally realize it.  You'll never be able to live up to what they expect of you.  Trigger.
8:11 AM Channel mode set to -m by •[ATM]
8:11 AM
<Thalia> Iron Lotus
8:12 AM <Spellspin> $dibs Iron Lotus
8:12 AM
<•[ATM]> Calling dibs. This might take a moment...
8:12 AM Done!
8:12 AM
<Carthage> ?
8:12 AM what just happened?
8:12 AM <Spellspin> Thal: I see you still look like a 15 year old girl, but not hot
8:12 AM <soulpelt|> spell rolled trigger and thal dibbed a name
8:13 AM anyways
8:13 AM Changer, Thinker, Tinker for spell
8:13 AM
<Carthage> I was thinking Thinker
8:13 AM
<Olivebirdy> Stranger tinker thinker.
8:14 AM Happened over a very long time, she needs to get out from under her parents' gaze.
8:14 AM <soulpelt|> ehhh stranger
8:14 AM
<Carthage> Could be a skill thinker, questions of incompetence?
8:14 AM Stranger doesn't really do it for me, not a big enough part
8:15 AM <soulpelt|> Skill thinker is too on the nose
8:15 AM
<Olivebirdy> She doesn't even want to do this. It's gruelling, she has no time for herself, she gets no enjoyment from it.
8:16 AM
<Carthage> Environmental thinker?
8:16 AM
<Olivebirdy> The only reason she's doing it is because her parents want her to do it.
8:16 AM
<Pink> It's a changer
8:16 AM
<Carthage> Or maybe a combat thinker depending on emotions
8:16 AM <soulpelt|> It doesn't say they don't enjoy it
8:16 AM just they realize they can't be what their parents want
8:16 AM
<Pink> "You'll never be able to live up to what they expect of you. Trigger."
8:16 AM
<Carthage> Changer with secondary Thinker power?
8:17 AM <soulpelt|> that seems more likely
8:17 AM
<Carthage> As for Changer, streamlining of the body for movement would make sense for an ice skater
8:17 AM
<Pink> Why thinker?
8:17 AM
<Carthage> Because it's long term
8:17 AM Day in and day out
8:17 AM
<Salow> isnt long term tinker?
8:17 AM
<Thalia> That would make it tinker.
8:17 AM
<Carthage> all coming to a head
8:18 AM oh perhaps you're right
8:18 AM I read that wron
8:18 AM
<Olivebirdy> Graceful sleek fast changer? It would be good if it could hide well, too.
8:18 AM
<Salow> but i think talking powers is easier then talking classifications, just having a hard time thinking of something hm
8:18 AM <soulpelt|> Tinker(Changer/Thinker)?
8:18 AM
<Carthage> Changers are the hardest to do imo
8:18 AM
<Thalia> That would be stranger and thinker, imo
8:18 AM
<Mishie> Changer, turns into a moose with ice-skates
8:18 AM ez
8:19 AM
<Carthage> Changer that allows the person to integrate parts of their body into the environment, allowing for better movement?
8:19 AM
<Olivebirdy> I'm thinking of something Ward-Sveta-like. Distends limbs far away, quick motion to where the limbs went.
8:20 AM
<Carthage> Maybe allows for limbs to act separately, with the main body being able to magnetize to them?
8:21 AM
<Olivebirdy> But it doesn't fit the 'not good enough to meet expectations' bit.
8:21 AM
<Pink> No ward spoilers, please
8:21 AM
<Olivebirdy> Doable.
8:21 AM Sure.
8:22 AM Could do it the other way around. Clumsy changer form.
8:22 AM
<Carthage> IIRC triggers don't always give you what you need in the moment
8:22 AM Some do, but don't solve the problem at large
8:22 AM Like this, he could move faster but it wouldn't really make him a better skater
8:23 AM <soulpelt|> Drunken Master Changer obv :p
8:23 AM
<Pink> What does the kid want from the skating? Their parents want them to be a great skater. the kid wants approval more than the skating ability per se
8:23 AM
<Olivebirdy> Or a switch between elegance to clumsiness. Something which the parahuman needs to keep an eye on. Give it some benefit to clumsiness, and they'll speed around elegantly until they're forced to take a pratfall.
8:24 AM
<Carthage> Pink, the conclusion there is better skater = approval
8:24 AM It may be wrong, but that's the thought process
8:24 AM
<Pink> Well yes. To a human.
8:25 AM But this is the sort of entity that sees 'a million bugs' as a replacement for 'a best friend'
8:25 AM
<Olivebirdy> Bit on the nose, but something like, can speed around for some turns, but then falls over with a blast of ice?
8:25 AM
<Pink> And it really doesn't feel like a mover at all to me
8:26 AM
<Mishie> tbh
8:26 AM
<Pink> They don't want to get away at all; if anything, the opposite. They want to belong IN THE EXACT PLACE THAT THEY ARE.
8:26 AM
<Carthage> Changer comes from the set up, while Mover comes as a secondary aspect to the situation
8:26 AM
<Salow> maybe some leg changing so she can move faster but not gracefully at all
8:26 AM
<Pink> This is an anti-mover
8:26 AM
<Mishie> Based on the trigger and the shit that Pink is saying, I'm kinda feeling something similar to Oliver in Worm
8:26 AM
<Olivebirdy> Good point pink
8:26 AM
<Carthage> What then, something that converts limbs to another element?
8:27 AM Ice is a bit too on the nose, maybe vapor that freeze?
8:27 AM
<Pink> They are exactly where they want to be, with the people they want watching watching them.
8:27 AM
<Carthage> But their issues come from not being good enough
8:27 AM
<Pink> They themselves are the only problem
8:27 AM
<Mishie> This is someone who has lived their entire life being defined by others
8:27 AM Who has had a goal set by others
8:27 AM
<Carthage> So how does that incorporate into a power
8:27 AM
<Mishie> Who has been given all the tools to succeed
8:27 AM But they were the weak link
8:28 AM
<Carthage> So the power is trying to compensate for their lack of skill?
8:28 AM How does it do that?
8:28 AM
<Mishie> And that's what made them trigger, that feeling of worthlessness, of not being good enough.
8:28 AM
<Salow> good enough could be in a literal way, youre good enough to move through this swamp faster, good enough to climb this wall without hands
8:29 AM
<Mishie> Okay so crazy idea
8:29 AM
<Carthage> hit me
8:29 AM
<Mishie> Lets think of ideas that have nothing to do with movement.
8:29 AM And that instead focus on the person
8:29 AM
<Pink> Thank you, Mishie
8:29 AM
<Mishie> This isn't an external problem that they want to run away from
8:29 AM THEY are the problem
8:29 AM
<Carthage> do you have any example Mishie
8:30 AM I would love some
8:30 AM
<Mishie> And hell, just to point out that the simple act of triggering has actually made shit 100% worse for them
8:30 AM Since y'know
8:30 AM They're now automatically banned from all comps
8:30 AM <soulpelt|> mish  actual ideas would be nice m'kay?
8:30 AM
<Carthage> We have the stage, we need powers
8:30 AM
<Mishie> soulpelt|: then scroll up :)
8:30 AM anyway
8:31 AM
<Carthage> Mishie, you've given no ideas yet
8:31 AM
<Olivebirdy> Steroid Tinker, body replacement.
8:31 AM <soulpelt|> 'similiar to oliver' doesn't really say much
8:31 AM
<Carthage> Ooh
8:31 AM
<Salow> you said something about oliver? who is he?
8:31 AM
<Carthage> Changer/Tinker
8:31 AM Oliver can shift his appearance
8:31 AM
<Mishie> I literally talked about how they could be a Changer that has a twist towards altering themselves to suit peoples expectations/desires.
8:31 AM <soulpelt|> the member of the Travelers who was just kinda... there
8:32 AM
<Olivebirdy> Traveler. He got Balance formula.
8:32 AM
<Mishie> Although that's honestly way too on the nose
8:32 AM
<Salow> ok got you
8:32 AM yeh, it feels kinda armorface, but we can work around it, that's one option
8:32 AM <Spellspin> Oliver's one of the Travellers non-combat members. A Changer/Thinke rwho picked up new skills at a superhuman rate and whose appearance changed based on his perceptions of attractiveness.
8:32 AM
<Mishie> I'm also against Tinker as well tbh
8:32 AM Since y'know
8:32 AM
<Carthage> So Olivebirdy, we have a Tinker/Changer (technically brute as well?) who creates superpowered steroids and replacements to improve performance
8:33 AM Long term trigger, with Changer aspect
8:33 AM
<Mishie> the fact that the trigger mentions that there was a period of time doesn't automatically make it a tinker
8:33 AM uh
8:33 AM
<Carthage> It said year
8:33 AM years*
8:33 AM went on for years
8:33 AM
<Olivebirdy> it's a possibility.
8:33 AM
<Mishie> But it was a realization that resulted in an immediate trigger
8:33 AM
<Carthage> it was a buildup
8:33 AM
<Mishie> the fact that a trigger has a backstory doesn't make it a tinker
8:33 AM
<Carthage> to the trigger
8:33 AM
<Mishie> Or else almost every single trigger would be tinker
8:33 AM
<Salow> let's focus on the power, that's just supposed to help, but it feels like its getting in the way now haha
8:34 AM
<Olivebirdy> Man,  it took them years to figure that out.
8:34 AM
<Carthage> we can't make powers because we're not even sure of the classification beyond a vague changer
8:34 AM i really hate changers
8:34 AM Changer seems to overlap with another classification out of necessity
8:34 AM
<Olivebirdy> Changer that grows and grows, 'reaching for the sky'.
8:35 AM
<Mishie> Hmm
8:35 AM I actually kinda like the idea of a paragon changer
8:35 AM <soulpelt|> Paragon Changer?
8:35 AM
<Carthage> ?
8:35 AM
<Salow> literal grow?
8:35 AM
<Olivebirdy> Yup.
8:35 AM
<Carthage> yeah, like a giant i think
8:35 AM
<Olivebirdy> Something like a tower.
8:35 AM
<Mishie> someone that's like a step above
8:36 AM
<Carthage> What does that mean
8:36 AM <soulpelt|> yes, how does that translate to changer? Subconscious changing to be the physical best in an area?
8:36 AM
<Salow> but it would just get bigger or, like, enhanced stuff?
8:36 AM
<Carthage> Like someone who's good at everything except what they put their mind to?
8:36 AM
<Olivebirdy> Salow: It needs more stuff
8:37 AM
<Carthage> Changer/Thinker, changes body type/skills based on the needs of others but not themselves?
8:37 AM
<Olivebirdy> I like that.
8:37 AM
<Carthage> So if his teammate needed a hacker, he could hack. But he wanted to play the piano on his own, he couldn't know how to
8:37 AM
<Mishie> Something like that is what I had in mind, I'm just thinking about how to word it right.
8:37 AM ehhh
8:38 AM
<Salow> that seems nice
8:38 AM
<Carthage> That idea of not being good enough bleeds into the trigger
8:38 AM
<Mishie> What I had in mind was that this person didn't want to just be alright at something.  They felt like they needed to be the best for someone else.
8:38 AM
<Salow> would they have to focus on a person to use it? or would it be something passive
8:39 AM
<Mishie> And I'm trying to think of a way that'd actually make it fun for the player
8:39 AM hmm
8:39 AM could be fun to have a paper tiger style twist on it
8:39 AM <soulpelt|> Designates someone their ward, gains physical and mental increases the more they're in danger and can apply it to themselves for diminshing returns
8:39 AM
<Olivebirdy> I think they'd need to convince themselves that it's for someone else.
8:39 AM
<Mishie> That feels kinda on the nose
8:39 AM
<Pink> Sound do a skill thief.
8:39 AM make it more aggressive
8:40 AM
<Salow> ooh, skill thief
8:40 AM <soulpelt|> that's a headache for a GM
8:40 AM
<Pink> *could do
8:40 AM you're a headache for a gm and he let you in. :D
8:40 AM
<Mishie> I kind of like them turning into something that's visually impressive, but has a wretched truth to it.
8:40 AM
<Carthage> only because i didn't know better
8:40 AM
<Salow> choose something to improve for yourself and something to get worse for someone else?
8:40 AM <soulpelt|> and you're  a headache OF a GM
8:40 AM anyways
8:40 AM
<Olivebirdy> On the nose is okay, problem is when it's too limited. Armor face, not armor at all.
8:41 AM
<Carthage> I still back the Changer/Thinker horse tbh
8:41 AM
<Mishie> soulpelt|: I for one have never had a problem with Pink as a GM :)
8:41 AM
<Pink> I am reminded of the old joke about the genie and the mother-in-law
8:41 AM
<Mishie> And there's no need to be rude
8:41 AM
<Olivebirdy> What's that joke?
8:41 AM <soulpelt|> If we're to continue this let's do it in moderation, kay?
8:41 AM
<Carthage> stay focused yall
8:42 AM
<Pink> Where the genie offers a guy three wishes, but anything he gets his mother in law gets twice as much of
8:42 AM
<Carthage> So what's on the board?
8:42 AM
<Olivebirdy> Skill thief is more aggressive than this person is.
8:42 AM Lol
8:42 AM
<Pink> So he wishes for wealth, happiness, and to be half dead.
8:42 AM
<Carthage> Changer Giant, Changer/Thinker, and what else
8:42 AM
<Olivebirdy> Ha
8:42 AM Clumsy.
8:43 AM
<Carthage> Clumsy Changer?
8:43 AM So that's three
8:43 AM <soulpelt|> Changer Giant, Guardian Changer/Thinker, Skill Thief, Clumsy/Elegant Changer
8:43 AM
<Pink> I'm thinking something like that could work as a theme for give and take
8:43 AM
<Carthage> Should we take a vote?
8:43 AM
<Mishie> No need to rush shit
8:44 AM
<Carthage> We've spent 45 minutes on this single power
8:44 AM we need to do at least two more
8:44 AM <soulpelt|> well he wants to run on saturday and powergen gets easily distracted
8:44 AM
<Salow> pink: like get faster, but weaker?
8:44 AM
<Mishie> tbh I kinda like the idea of a split body Changer
8:44 AM
<Salow> or wiser but moves slower?
8:45 AM
<Carthage> how does that even relate to the trigger?
8:45 AM
<Mishie> but that might be getting too mastery
8:45 AM
<Pink> More that he and his target both gain something, but that something is a double edged sword that he knows how to handle and they don't
8:45 AM And some master isn't entirely unwarranted.
8:45 AM
<Teller> Carthage, 45 minutes isn't very long for a powergen. They can sometimes take hours. It's unfortunate, but the way of things.
8:45 AM
<Olivebirdy> Oh hi teller
8:46 AM
<Pink> Her parents trying to force this on them could be a betrayal of the social contract.
8:46 AM
<Teller> Hey Olive. o/
8:46 AM
<Olivebirdy> o/
8:46 AM
<Salow> i dont get it... can you try a example of that?
8:46 AM
<Pink> And I disagree that it is unfortunate; powergens are the most interesting part of the game, that allow the most group interaction. Why rush them?
8:46 AM
<Carthage> So we have elements of Changer, Some Stranger, Some Master, maybe some Thinker, and perhaps some Tinker
8:46 AM
<Olivebirdy> I think that if we're blaming the parents it's more of a Stranger than Master.
8:46 AM
<Teller> Pink, I'm saying that it's unfortunate that 45 minutes would be rushing them.
8:47 AM When he would like them to go faster.
8:47 AM
<Pink> Salow- for instance, what happens to someone with super strength but no manton protections from it?
8:47 AM
<Carthage> That's leaning into Trump territory
8:47 AM
<Salow> hm kay
8:48 AM
<Pink> More master than trump
8:48 AM
<Carthage> messing with the manton limits on powers is Trump
8:48 AM master too
8:48 AM but trump
8:48 AM mainly
8:48 AM
<Mishie> they're not fucking with other peoples powers
8:49 AM
<Carthage> They're messing with the secondary protections of people's powers
8:49 AM
<Mishie> But making both themselves and someone else stronger, but only they have the secondary powers to control it
8:49 AM
<Carthage> I think that counts under a Three Trump?
8:50 AM
— Mishie shrugs
8:50 AM
<Carthage> Stealing/Borrowing aspects of powers?
8:50 AM
<Mishie> I wouldn't know
8:50 AM
<Carthage> Anyways
8:50 AM it doesn't matter
8:50 AM
<Mishie> what no
8:50 AM
<Carthage> how does that translate to Changer?
8:50 AM Or are we leaning for master?
8:51 AM
<Mishie> I think what Pink was getting at is that the cape would be able to adjust themselves in various ways, and that it would also effect another person.
8:51 AM Teller → Telloff
8:51 AM
<Mishie> no powers being stolen borrowed
8:51 AM just a mirroring
8:51 AM <FaustAndAbout> It reflects the expectations being shoved onto them
8:51 AM
<Carthage> So what would mirroring the secondary protections of brutes do, without the brute power?
8:51 AM <FaustAndAbout> They can shove their ability onto others, but they will never be able to do it, only hurting themselves.
8:52 AM *the cape can
8:52 AM
<Carthage> So our triggeree could mirror the powers of one cape to another?
8:52 AM but only the secondary aspects of it
8:52 AM <FaustAndAbout> I didn't think that was the idea
8:52 AM
<Carthage> what -is- the idea?
8:52 AM I feel like I'm missing a piece of it
8:52 AM <FaustAndAbout> I thought it was the Brute Power, sans the secondary protections
8:52 AM
<Mishie> Nah
8:53 AM
<Carthage> Wouldn't that just kill the user?
8:53 AM
<Mishie> honestly lets just drop it since Carthage is having problems with it
8:53 AM
<Salow> i think the brute power was just an example
8:53 AM
<Carthage> If it's gonna be in my game, I want to know how it works
8:53 AM
<Pink> Carthage, I was using it as an example. Not suggesting that it fuck with existing powers.
8:53 AM
<Carthage> How does it apply to other powers then?
8:53 AM
<Mishie> What do you think spelt?  You said that you were interested in genning but so far all you've done is snipe at people?
8:53 AM Did something happen?
8:54 AM
<Carthage> Where did everyone go?
8:54 AM Feels like we lost a few
8:54 AM
<Olivebirdy> I'm thinking.
8:54 AM <FaustAndAbout> Anyways, my idea is to give them an ability that lets them Change themselves and others, but whereas they get the boons, the other person only gets the worst version of the ability that only hurts them.
8:54 AM
<Carthage> So, Pink, can you give me a detailed description of your power
8:54 AM
<Pink> Faust pretty much has it.
8:54 AM
<Mishie> hmm
8:54 AM <FaustAndAbout> I think he was just proposing a concept
8:54 AM
<Mishie> that could be fun
8:54 AM <FaustAndAbout> Which is a concept I actually fucking adore
8:55 AM Like hats off on subtle theming
8:55 AM <soulpelt|> hmmm
8:55 AM
<Salow> that's nice
8:55 AM
<Carthage> So, our triggeree could change his appearance positively by taking it away from others?
8:55 AM <soulpelt|> does sound like fun
8:55 AM <FaustAndAbout> No.
8:55 AM
<Mishie> It's not about taking
8:55 AM Okay so
8:55 AM Let me put it in numbers
8:55 AM both the cape and the target start at 3.  The cape goes up to 5 and the targets goes down to 1.
8:56 AM
<Carthage> How is that not about taking
8:56 AM
<Mishie> Nothing is being stolen or transferred
8:56 AM <FaustAndAbout> They have a form that is positive, they can cause other people to go into a form that is like theirs but with none of the reinforcements that make it safe to use.
8:56 AM
<Salow> but isnt that taken...
8:56 AM
<Mishie> It's just that one moves up, the other moves down.
8:56 AM <FaustAndAbout> It's two separate equations
8:56 AM
<Pink> On the SURFACE, both get basically the same thing.
8:56 AM
<Mishie> oh that's fun
8:56 AM <FaustAndAbout> X+Changer+Manton=Good, X+Changer=Bad
8:57 AM
<Salow> so let's talk about the change itself
8:57 AM
<Mishie> Or at least awkward.
8:57 AM
<Carthage> So can the person choose who gets it?
8:57 AM <FaustAndAbout> Yes.
8:57 AM
<Pink> But one gets Caroline v1(arms-explode-killing-yourself) and the other gets v2 (hands mangle stuff, killing them)
8:57 AM
<Mishie> I'd say so
8:57 AM oof
8:57 AM
<Pink> Not so extreme
8:57 AM <FaustAndAbout> Emphasizing the ice skating, I say we go for bitingly cold blasts of cutting dust.
8:58 AM Blasts isn't the right word
8:58 AM
<Olivebirdy> Something personal, or more like 'everyone in the area gets turned into ostriches'?
8:58 AM
<Pink> But that kind of thing. Like, to an outside observer, you'd think they both hulked out or whatever.
8:58 AM <FaustAndAbout> Blades.
8:58 AM
<Carthage> So, Our Changer gets a certain skill or ability like their opponent, but their opponent doesn't have the protections of it?
8:58 AM
<Pink> Have you ever seen Heavy Metal, Olive?
8:58 AM
<Olivebirdy> Nope.
8:58 AM
<Pink> Something like Hanover Fiste from that
8:59 AM
<Carthage> Basically, is our triggeree mirroring powers but taking away the secondary protections of another
8:59 AM <FaustAndAbout> NO
8:59 AM
<Mishie> ahhhhhh
8:59 AM
<Pink> Okay, let's make a scenario
8:59 AM and walk through it.
8:59 AM
<Carthage> perfect
8:59 AM <FaustAndAbout> Let me type up a power.
8:59 AM
<Olivebirdy> It's like everyone gets turned into an ostrich, but the pc is the only one who's good at being an ostrich.
8:59 AM
<Pink> There's an orc guarding a pie in a square room. Spellspin wants the pie and he has this superpower.
8:59 AM Right, Olive
9:00 AM
<Carthage> ok
9:00 AM <Spellspin> wait no keep going
9:00 AM how do I get the pie
9:00 AM
<Carthage> but where does ability or skill come from?
9:00 AM
<Mishie> Yeah, lets focus on the pie.
9:00 AM
<Carthage> Straight from the Changer?
9:00 AM
<Pink> So he engages.
9:00 AM
<Salow> you take it with your ostrich... fingers?
9:00 AM sorry, go on
9:01 AM
<Pink> I'm thinking probably he'd choose a stat to engage with, and the cape would get a buff to that stat while the other character would get some quirk/penalty that isn't an obvious one
9:02 AM Like they both bulk up, but while that makes spell stronger it makes the other one clumsier
9:02 AM
<Carthage> ah i see
9:02 AM But there is a small hitch in the logic
9:02 AM That's not a changer, or not entirely. I think that's a Changer/Trump
9:02 AM
<Pink> Probably some big ones too
9:03 AM
<Carthage> Unless that "bulk up" isn't to a brute extent
9:03 AM but more like a bodybuilder extent
9:03 AM
<Pink> More like 'their muscles swell up, impeding their movements'
9:03 AM
<Olivebirdy> Bodybuilders have 5 pips in strength, that's a superpower
9:04 AM Not very super admitted
9:04 AM
<Pink> ...and you know that bodybuilders do NOT build for strength, they build for muscle definition
9:04 AM
<Olivebirdy> :o
9:04 AM
<Mishie> So what pink is saying is that they have Social 5 obviously
9:04 AM
<Pink> Actual olympic weightlifters don't look like bodybuilders.
9:04 AM But yeah, doesn't have to be brawn.
9:04 AM
<Mishie> hmm
9:04 AM
<Olivebirdy> That's interesting. Kind of like designing yourself.
9:05 AM
<Pink> Could be wits, and they get the improved senses while the other person gets the sensory overload
9:05 AM
<Mishie> Should the form always be the same?  Or could it have some variance depending on the situation?
9:05 AM <FaustAndAbout> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/xGAHyvU1/

<•_> [ Snippet | IRCCloud ] - www.irccloud.com
9:05 AM
<Salow> i think it could change with the stat
9:05 AM <FaustAndAbout> There's my two cents.
9:05 AM
<Pink> I think it should vary, but not in a random way.
9:05 AM Should be based on their choices
9:05 AM
<Mishie> yeah
9:06 AM <FaustAndAbout> I don't think choosing the form reflects the trigger though
9:06 AM they had no choice at all
9:06 AM
<Mishie> true
9:06 AM
<Carthage> I see, so better mental processing but at the loss of being able to sift through it
9:06 AM
<Olivebirdy> Yeah.
9:06 AM Does that sound fun?
9:06 AM
<Mishie> Did you read what Faust just wrote Carthage?
9:07 AM
<Pink> Faust's is an interesting angle too
9:07 AM
<Carthage> yes i did Mishie
9:07 AM
<Pink> And faust, not so much 'choose the form' but 'choose what to focus on' because it isn't like
9:07 AM 'a werewolf or a tree man or a bird'
9:07 AM It is 'focus on brains, on brawn, on speed...'
9:08 AM <FaustAndAbout> I dunno, it doesn't stick with me as much
9:08 AM
<Carthage> How would that work with book keeping in game? Like, the player get's a boost to on stat and so does their opponent, but their opponent gets a -1 in another category?
9:08 AM <FaustAndAbout> I think this trigger enforces a pretty narrow number of skills so we might as well make them good
9:08 AM Carthage: The opponent gets no positives.
9:08 AM Whatsoever
9:08 AM
<Carthage> So it's just a buff/debuff power
9:08 AM in game
9:08 AM <FaustAndAbout> They can use the blades but they can fuck up
9:09 AM Sort of? It also provides them a weapon but it has failure penalties
9:09 AM
<Pink> Yeah, they get the appearance of positives perhaps but not in any practical sense
9:09 AM <FaustAndAbout> Imagine being given rollerskates but not knowing how to use them
9:10 AM It's possible someone could get used to this power, but they'll never beat a natural.
9:10 AM
<Salow> lets say spell would focus on speed and his feet would get bigger (eh), his and the targets feet would grow, but the target would have to roll for not falling. something like that?
9:11 AM
<Carthage> So we have a buff/debuff power that gives similar conditions, but the player gets an advantage while the target gets a penalty
9:11 AM <FaustAndAbout> Yeah, kind of
9:11 AM It also provides a neat kit to the cape
9:11 AM
<Olivebirdy> I figured out how to do the clumsy changer. They run around quickly but with a high chance of tripping, but when they trip, everyone else falls over too. I think we're going with the buff/debuffer, though.
9:11 AM <FaustAndAbout> The blade pulls are neat considering it gives bits of Mover
9:12 AM Telloff → Teller
9:12 AM <FaustAndAbout> The problem with the "choose a stat" thing is that practically, the cape is going to do what's best for their skills and situation. It eschews all personality in favor of never being bad at anything.
9:13 AM
<Carthage> yes, that might be a bit OP in game
9:13 AM so how do we balance it
9:13 AM <FaustAndAbout> Don't do it.
9:13 AM
<Carthage> ?
9:13 AM <FaustAndAbout> Focus one stat in the form that reflects the trigger.
9:13 AM That's why I did that
9:14 AM
<Carthage> So which stat most accurately reflects the trigger then?
9:14 AM <FaustAndAbout> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/xGAHyvU1/
 Plain Text • 2 lines raw | line numbers
9:14 AM
<•_> [ Snippet | IRCCloud ] - www.irccloud.com
9:14 AM <FaustAndAbout> I did one
9:14 AM Athletics is what I feel reflects it in skills.
9:14 AM
<Carthage> you're right
9:14 AM what does the room think
9:15 AM <FaustAndAbout> Because it provides Acrobatics, Evade, and other benefits that are more focused on what the trigger pushed
9:15 AM
<Salow> i agree
9:15 AM
<Carthage> Pink came up with the power, maybe he'd like to input how the Changer aspect forms
9:16 AM <FaustAndAbout> Pink came up with a concept
9:16 AM That power is mine
9:16 AM
<Salow> why the tree-like material tho? not complaining, just asking
9:16 AM <FaustAndAbout> Willowy, also ice skates in olden days had wooden bases
9:16 AM I went with winter flavor
9:16 AM
<Pink> Because an icemonster would be silly :D
9:16 AM
<Mishie> Plus it's a fun aesthetic
9:17 AM <FaustAndAbout> ^
9:17 AM Imagine a birch man
9:17 AM
<Salow> kay
9:17 AM
<Mishie> what a birch
9:17 AM
<Carthage> so are we in agreement with Faust's and Pink's power?
9:18 AM <FaustAndAbout> Carthage no offense but you're bad at listening :P
9:18 AM
<Carthage> yes i am
9:18 AM but then again, what's your point
9:18 AM <FaustAndAbout> That you're bad at listening?
9:19 AM
<Carthage> Is this (the Changer) power what we think should be rolled for Spellspin's character?
9:19 AM <FaustAndAbout> I figured if you knew you could improve
9:19 AM I mean, I give it a vote of confidence but I'm me
9:19 AM
<Salow> i'm ok with it
9:20 AM
<Carthage> anyone elsE?
9:20 AM
<Mishie> I think there was still some discussion about the specifics, but Faust did raise a good point about the issues both mechanically and thematically
9:20 AM
<Salow> maybe specify what unable to move well would be in the mechanics
9:20 AM
<Pink> You're the GM. You need to run it so you have the ABSOLUTE final say.
9:20 AM
— Mishie squints
9:20 AM <FaustAndAbout> Salow: They don't get the evade buffs
9:20 AM It was an explanation why
9:20 AM
<Carthage> Just for posterity, Faust are you allowing us to use the power in that Snippet?
9:21 AM Or would you like for us to create our own
9:21 AM <FaustAndAbout> Uh. Yeah?
9:21 AM
<Carthage> Ok
9:21 AM <FaustAndAbout> I proposed it for the gen.
9:21 AM
<Mishie> No he just posted it for shits and giggles
9:21 AM and to show off
9:21 AM what a bully
9:21 AM <FaustAndAbout> $dibs Bottom Birch
9:21 AM
<•[ATM]> Calling dibs. This might take a moment...
9:21 AM Done!
9:21 AM <FaustAndAbout> I took the best name for it tho
9:22 AM <soulpelt|> rude
9:22 AM
<Mishie> hell yeah
9:22 AM
<Carthage> So the lack of movement means they don't get evade buffs, the cuts deal moderate cutting damage, perks are mitigated, powers remain unchanged
9:22 AM
<Mishie> Okay so
9:22 AM Carthage
9:22 AM <FaustAndAbout> Pretty much.
9:22 AM
<Carthage> anyhting I'm missing there?
9:22 AM
<Mishie> When someone gets hit with the power and transformed
9:22 AM <soulpelt|> Faust's power seems good
9:22 AM <FaustAndAbout> Perks don't exist for people who are polymorphed
9:22 AM They get nothing
9:22 AM
<Carthage> Does the polymorph take more than one round?
9:22 AM <FaustAndAbout> Stand Tall is gone, Attractive? You're a tree now
9:22 AM
<Mishie> They're probably going to slightly panic over the fact that they're suddenly a tree
9:23 AM <FaustAndAbout> Carthage: They can choose any one person they hit during a round to become a tree
9:23 AM
<Mishie> And they're probably going to find it difficult to suddenly utilize the benefits of their new form
9:23 AM
<Carthage> And that lasts for two more rounds, correct?
9:23 AM
<Mishie> But that isn't to say that they're totally helpless
9:23 AM <FaustAndAbout> Two rounds.
9:23 AM
<Carthage> My questions was, is it instant in that round?
9:23 AM <FaustAndAbout> Yes.
9:23 AM
<Carthage> ok
9:23 AM good to know
9:23 AM
<Mishie> Faust, would the victim get the mod cut dust?
9:23 AM <FaustAndAbout> It takes no actions to polymorph
9:23 AM
<Mishie> Or just the cape?
9:24 AM <soulpelt|> turn the annoying brute into a clumsy ass tree
9:24 AM <FaustAndAbout> Mishie: Yeah, they get all benefits of the blades
9:24 AM
<Carthage> A good power
9:24 AM <FaustAndAbout> But if they fail
9:24 AM
<Mishie> they're still a brute soulpelt|
9:24 AM <soulpelt|> the Stranger is now a shrubbery
9:24 AM <FaustAndAbout> They take a stagger
9:24 AM
<Mishie> yeah
9:24 AM
<Carthage> a clumsy ass brute tree
9:24 AM
<Mishie> So it'd actually be semi-viable to use on allies
9:24 AM <FaustAndAbout> Now I'm gonna go watch a movie
9:24 AM
<Carthage> sounds like a children's story
9:24 AM <FaustAndAbout> Mishie: yep
9:24 AM
<Mishie> Especially since they could potentially practice with it to mitigate the downsides
9:25 AM
<Carthage> Well Masaltov, let's break out the champagne because that one is done and done
9:25 AM <FaustAndAbout> Potentially
9:25 AM We wanna do Luck?
9:25 AM
<Mishie> yee
9:25 AM Spell do luck you binch
9:25 AM
<Carthage> might as well
9:25 AM <FaustAndAbout> *birch
9:25 AM
<Mishie> shit u rite
9:25 AM
<Carthage> So that one was for Spellspin right?
9:25 AM
<Mishie> Yes
9:25 AM
<Carthage> So who's next?
9:25 AM
<Mishie> So Spellspin should probably type $luck
9:25 AM <soulpelt|> he might be at works
9:25 AM
<Carthage> he is
9:25 AM
<Mishie> I'd say Salow for sure
9:26 AM
<Salow> can i roll for the next one?
9:26 AM
<Carthage> Salow, you up for it?
9:26 AM
<Mishie> Of the 3 he's the only one that contributed
9:26 AM <FaustAndAbout> Get a proxy
9:26 AM
<Salow> sure
9:26 AM <FaustAndAbout> u rite Mish
9:26 AM Everyone else step it up
9:26 AM Bye
9:26 AM
<Carthage> step it up, throw it down
9:26 AM
<Salow> bye, and thanks
9:26 AM $trigger

9:26 AM
<•[ATM]> Salow [63]: You're rushing to the elevator, talking on the phone in one hand, reading through documents on the other, fighting against the crowd streaming out as with what seems like a million little stresses weigh down your mind. Hurried and unfocused, you trip and fall into the elevator, right as the doors clamp shut around your leg.
9:26 AM You scream, first from pain, then from panic as the elevator slowly but indelibly pulls itself upwards. Pedestrians are shouting, trying to free your leg, but to no avail. Alone in your metal box, you trash wildly like an animal. Aren't there motion sensors, or safety systems? Stuff specifically meant to stop this exact scenario from happening?
9:26 AM You trigger with the million little stresses a million miles from your mind, focusing only on the bloody stump of your leg being razed against a cold concrete elevator shaft.

<Carthage> Striker?
9:27 AM <soulpelt|> Brute
9:27 AM or the trigger event saves their ass from bleeding out
9:28 AM
<Carthage> if we go brute, what kind of brute?
9:28 AM <soulpelt|> Painful regeneration is always fun
9:28 AM I have an old power idea
9:28 AM
<Carthage> Maybe Armor Brute?
9:29 AM surface-level damage and physical helplessness
9:29 AM
<Pink> Frankly, the character's internal monologue is correct, there are so mamy safety features
9:29 AM so something went horribly wrong and they are aware of that
9:29 AM <soulpelt|> When cape comes into physical contact with simple or complex machinery a chunk of the touched object is fused to cape seamlessly. Over time the machinery on the cape ‘spreads’ to fix nearby areas of the body, painfully peeling away flesh, bone and muscle. Should machinery be damaged cape must use other technology to ‘patch up’ the damaged area
9:29 AM <LRD> Brute is the obvious one but Striker and Mover are both possibilities too
9:30 AM
<Mishie> yeah that's a fair point Pink
9:30 AM
<Carthage> might be a little heavy there soulpelt|
9:30 AM <soulpelt|> this is an old Brute/Striker idea I had
9:31 AM Thought it could fit somewhat if altered a bit
9:31 AM <LRD> It works but I'm not hugely fond of it for no other reason than avoid mutations or forced physical changes if they're not a C53
9:31 AM
<Carthage> Brute that hardens skin but reduces mobility the larger the threat they are facing?
9:31 AM <soulpelt|> still leaves 'em legless
9:31 AM that's my biggest issue
9:32 AM
<Carthage> trigger events heal tho, right?
9:32 AM <soulpelt|> not always
9:32 AM
<Mishie> Not really
9:32 AM
<Pink> the best ones don't
9:32 AM
<Carthage> Go for a pirate theme!
9:32 AM <soulpelt|> like I said regeneration or the trigger event gives them their leg back as a one off
9:32 AM <LRD> No. But the loss of a foot doesn't dramatically impair them
9:32 AM
<Carthage> Giving them their leg back might just be easiest
9:32 AM <soulpelt|> not foot
9:32 AM their leg
9:32 AM
<Carthage> regeneration is a changer power
9:33 AM
<Mishie> but why though
9:33 AM
<Carthage> who did you ask that to
9:33 AM
<Salow> guys, dont know if i'll be able to stay for the next ones, will have to do some social interaction eh so if i'm gone, that happened
9:33 AM
<Pink> Neverending torrent of blood from the stump that holds them up like a high power hose
9:33 AM
<Mishie> Didn't we just have a conversation earlier about how triggers/powers don't solve the issue?
9:33 AM <soulpelt|> in this case it better
9:34 AM
<Mishie> Like yeah obviously we're not going to just fuck over the player
9:34 AM <soulpelt|> else they'll bleed out in... what 30 seconds?
9:34 AM <LRD> Carth: regeneration is a brute power but I'm not a fan of giving them their leg back either
9:34 AM
<Carthage> Yeah
9:34 AM Regen brutes are a different subset
9:34 AM You are right LRD
9:34 AM <soulpelt|> hence me giving them a power that fixes but doesn 'fix' it
9:34 AM <LRD> No, by sheer luck there is a medic on the top floor. Triggers are non-lethal
9:34 AM
<Carthage> but for this trigger event we're talking Armor or Muscle Brute
9:34 AM
<Pink> I quite like giving them a replacement leg that is a high pressure stream of blood.
9:35 AM <soulpelt|> Could be something similiar to Aegis
9:35 AM so a one trick pony. Lovely. :P
9:35 AM <LRD> I'm going to go look at Strikers for a bit, be back
9:35 AM
<Pink> what does that even mean
9:36 AM <soulpelt|> "my power is a high pressure endless bloodstream leg!'
9:36 AM
<Mishie> No need to be so negative spelt
9:36 AM Let him explain
9:36 AM
<Carthage> that would be incredibly hard to hide
9:36 AM basically they would just be capes all their life
9:36 AM
<Mishie> And tbh limited haemokinesis is kinda interesting
9:36 AM <LRD> I'm guessing it's a Breaker state of some sort
9:37 AM On/off switch
9:37 AM <soulpelt|> Breaker could work as well, yess
9:37 AM
<Carthage> when in doubt, go Breaker
9:37 AM <soulpelt|> another old power idea: Cape enters an altered state of miasma and red blood-like fluid. In this form the cape has two abilities, firstly they 'corrupt' the ground into a noxious marsh in a 10f area that impedes movement and releases a dark purple mist that causes those to inhale it to gag and be stunned for a round(DC4), secondly their Breaker form is incredibly tough and strong(5 brawn, 5 guts) and upon being hit 'corrupts' the weapon
9:37 AM hitting(-1 to attack rolls for non-living materials per hit, flesh rots away quickly  This Breaker form lasts only for minute before turning off and the cape needs to recharge for another minute before reentering. Damage to the Breaker form does not carry over to normal and vice versa.
9:37 AM <LRD> I meant Pnk's suggestion and the "hard to hide" objection
9:39 AM
<Carthage> what does everyone else think
9:40 AM
<Mishie> ehh
9:42 AM → Jyggalag joined (Sam_Guivenn@net-1dn.p4o.168.198.IP)
9:42 AM <LRD> I'm currently looking at the "Hand" category (Striker power relates to positioning, push/pull) and I'm seeing some cool Striker/Mover possibilities
9:42 AM
<Mishie> Carthage: looks like most people are a bit busy right now
9:42 AM
<Carthage> yeah
9:42 AM I'm about to be as well
9:43 AM didn't think it would take this long
9:43 AM
<Mishie> shit takes time
9:43 AM
<Carthage> maybe we should continue this tomorrow
9:43 AM
<Mishie> probably
9:43 AM
<Carthage> Alright, we'll table this for now
9:43 AM — soulpelt| puts away unused power doc
9:44 AM <soulpelt|> one day my machine Brute/Striker will be used ;-;
9:44 AM
<Carthage> it's ok soulpelt
9:44 AM we'll talk to tomorrow
9:44 AM now, I need to go take some Advil and greet the guests
9:44 AM I hope Salow forgives us for dropping his power atm
9:45 AM goodnight
9:45 AM <soulpelt|> see ya
9:46 AM
<•Antioch> I’m back, apologies.
9:46 AM
<Carthage> wow
9:46 AM <LRD> There weren't enough people to gen
9:46 AM
<Carthage> you came back a bad time
9:47 AM <soulpelt|> rip
9:48 AM <Saff> hey a time with anti is never a bad time.
9:48 AM all you have to do is feed him jam.
9:51 AM
<Salow> no probs, i'm kinda busy too
9:52 AM <LRD> You all forgot to roll luck for Spells. Or claim or increment
9:52 AM
<Mishie> LRD: he left
9:52 AM <LRD> Oh, right
9:52 AM Also, if I have an idea for the lift foot trigger, should I bother writing it up?
9:53 AM
— Mishie shrugs
9:53 AM
<Mishie> you do you
9:53 AM
<Salow> dont see why not
9:53 AM <LRD> If that gen is on pause until tomorrow, I'm no wasting my time
9:54 AM
<Mishie> you do you
9:55 AM <Spellspin> Hi at work can someone roll luck for me and save the results for me?
9:56 AM And the power
9:56 AM Sorry guys had to leave asap when I got the call
9:56 AM
<Salow> the power is on the doc already
9:57 AM <soulpelt|> I'll roll it Spellspin
9:57 AM $luck

<•[ATM]> soulpelt| [3/4, 1/4] [Life Perk 75]: Anima.  The character has a strong spirit.  They get their choice of +1 Dex or +1 Social.  The increased stat cannot be lowered to pay for another stat.
9:57 AM This perk requires some minor effort to maintain.  Roughly ten hours a week go into activities that help them maintain this benefit, often socializing, pursuing creative efforts, or something else that's relatively enriching.  Available time for other activities is reduced so long as this perk is so maintained, taking 125% as long.
9:57 AM [Life Flaw 15]: Fight prone.  The character is reckless, aggressive, more inclined to pick fights, less inclined to run or walk away.  Stepping away from a fight, holding back while being provoked, or being patient while waiting for an opportune moment to strike may require a Guts roll (willpower centered) to do.
9:57 AM May have a harder time building relationships with those who aren't of similar mindset or a villainous or fearsome disposition.  As a subordinate, may be able to be managed via. Social rolls.  As a leader, aggressive tendencies may be expressed to eager to please underlings.

9:57 AM <soulpelt|> huh how fitting
9:57 AM
<Teller> ...Didn't Carthage end the gen and leave?
9:57 AM <soulpelt|> for Sal
9:58 AM Spell just needed luck
9:59 AM Camtist → •Camtist|GM, Thalia → Thalia|Liz
9:59 AM
<Teller> But he should still be here for Spell's luck roll, since he's the GM. Maybe he hates Fight prone.
10:00 AM We don't know.
10:04 AM You know, 'pelt, I feel like there's powergen etiquette that you've been ignoring for the last two hours, and I also feel like you've been here way too long to be doing so - regardless of how excited you are for a game.

<Mishie> Any chance you could clarify Spelt?  Do you mean for after you got snippy and said I hadn't contributed whilst I was in the middle of helping with a gen?  Or for when I invited you to join us in genning since you'd originally expressed an interest in doing so that you hadn't yet followed up on?  Or for when I suggested that we prioritized genning for a player that had shown that they were keen and eager to contribute?

<Teller> I didn't intend to start a drawn out argument; I just wanted to mention something that was bothering me.
10:20 AM 'pelt, I can see why you'd have an issue with what Pink and Mish said to you, but you might want to bring it up in #moderation or PM an op if you want to get it addressed.
10:20 AM <soulpelt|> Tried it
10:20 AM three times now
10:20 AM Mish just doesn't see the text on the screen as actual people
10:21 AM
<Mishie> Gotta say it's kinda hurtful how you're constantly making all these assumptions and talking shit about people all the time, but you do you.
