Hey! GM Cricket, because I'm specializing on Illusions I figured it's probably worthwhile to know how you handle them in advance so I know what I can and can't do with them.
I know it's a loaded question and I'm sure we can figure it out through gameplay but if you have any particular quirks or rules about illusions it would be beneficial to know in advance so that I can use them in a way that doesn't cause a suspension of belief in game when we have to discuss then how they work.

Maria Galatea |

No, that's all five of us.
It looks like the next thing is the unusually high CR cricket schemes with other folks in the recruitment thread to send their guys as villains and vigilantes to thwart us.

Maria Galatea |

Do we already know each other? What kind of place is the Gilded Crossroads? Is there a particular reason we are heading there as a group, or should we explain why each of us is there? Sorry if this is explained in recruitment, I can't find it.

Were we summoned? By whom? How much do we know about the situation?

Erik "The Mountain" Ironfist |

I have literally no idea why my character would be anywhere near this inn. I'd gladly make a first post if I had some more detail.

So question how do you want to play guys
Cornelius Empathy, I say this as he has this up ALL the time, to feel what others around him are feeling, its NOT mind reading, its way more basic than that, just the over all feeling you PC is having.
If you Don't like this I can change it, and say he dos not look at your PCs feelings. The DC is 18 but that I will keep for mind reading true, witch he can do, but I feel that is getting to close to PVP for my liking so its for NPCs only. But empathy I feel is ok to a point.
Do you think thats ok

Erik "The Mountain" Ironfist |

I don't particularly mind - Erik's going to wear his emotions on his sleeve, for the most part.

Maria Galatea |

I'm fine with it, emotionless is one of her racial traits. She's kind of like Kyuubey but more benevolent, putting on an act. It's probably going to be creepy when she acts emotional but your guy feels nothing from her.

Ezebelle Thesun |

Zen, Ezebelle is comfortable enough with you for you to actually keep mind-reading open (she does have SR, so when she isn't willingly keeping it suppressed it may block it), it also makes conversation between the two of you easier as she just thinks aloud at you most of the time.

Ok I have a rule of thum about games, I call it the speed rule. Or the 1post a day rule, it's simple, if the players on average are posting one post a day, the GM needs to be posting one or more game posts a day to keep up, it's the same for players, if you have a fast posting GM, then the players need to keep up. The why both sides need to be in syinic is simple.. I found this rule because I started playing on here 3 years ago, I've got more than a few alts, gmed a more than a few games and in that time this rule has come to light. What the rule products is a failed or soon to fail game. If eather the GM or players can't keep up with each other's playing speed, or over post the game stalls then players drop or GM says he has not got the time. Game fails, I have seen it time and time again. I have seen GMs on her, wax on about how players will over time become epic level or some such, only to see them then post once every three days. That's 120 post a YEAR real time, your not even going to finish the 1st fight at that speed let alone get a sniff of a level. Same was I have seen players after fighting to get a place in a game, then slow that gMe down posting once a week and saying to the GM Play my pc can't post at moment, then go on to have a long chat in the forum.
Right now I am seeing 1st week in a distinct lack of GM feed back, now this Could be a real world problem, life dos get in the way, but communication is key, letting players and the GM know your unable to post allows others to move things along. Even if that means placing a game on hold.
Now some of you where will come in defending the GM or player, it's early days, not had time, getting things ready. Yes I will agree with most of them. But also agree with me, it's a bad sign from the get go, if a player OR GM can only post ounce every 3 days +
I am more than willing to hear out any comments or views, on this,
Yours Johnny

If it weren't the week of Thanksgiving, I'd agree with you. But this time of year is super crazy for most people, so I'm willing to cut everybody some slack.

Maria Galatea |

I don't wanna be a yes-man, but yes. This week is cray-cray, then there's 2-3 stable weeks followed by 2-3 weeks of pandemonium. It's a rough time to start, but I'm not worried yet.
EDIT: Baator, superheroes ita great genre for rotating protagonists and story tellers if folks flake.

Johnny-Panic |

Yep I fully understand that, just highlighting what I have learned while playing PbP on here. After, thanks giving I fully expect the post rate to pick up. I am hoping there will be some getting to know you posts. Just feels odd right now, that a bunch of strangers show up at a crime scene look around and the local cops say, yep have a good snoop guys.
Haha

Ezebelle Thesun |

ya it's a busy time. Not a huge deal. I'm sure game will pick up as we get away from finals/christmas time.

Cornelius_Zenareen |

can we just stop this game now, one f***ing post a week dos not a game make, this is now just a wast if time, ether get your fingers out your a$$es and post once a day or kill this limping pile of c**p. I am sick to death of game that stall and just crawl on like some sick dog. Shot it and be done with it or up your f***king posting.

Ezebelle Thesun |

I'm giving everyone a lot of slack because the game started on Thanksgiving Week. If it continues along this pace it will be an issue, but I understand family responsibility at this time takes precedence over posting.

Erik "The Mountain" Ironfist |

Alright, you need to calm down, Cornelius. It's Thanksgiving Week, and that means travel, being with family, shopping, schoolwork, lots of things that are very important in meatspace.
It is intensely annoying that all you have done is complain, while Cricket has clearly been working on stuff that is important in regards to his own life. The posting rate will pick up once the holiday and school are finished, but if you can't be patient, then I don't know what to tell you.

Cornelius_Zenareen |

I want to apologise to you all, I was really really drunk, that post was not mean for Paizo, even so it was so wrong. I had had a really bad day at work, dealing with things not my fault. Then big argument with a mate of nothing and then worried a game I like very much, this one was slowing and may stop. Again I deeply apologise. This is why I don't drink often, I feel a deep seance of shame over my actions and I fully understand of you wish me to leave the game.

Maria Galatea |

Cricket, if possible, we need to build momentum before we hit the time-eating stumbling block of Christmas and New Years. Try to keep things going, honestly quantity posts rather than quality posts are what's needed to get this off the ground so it survives the holiday season.

Maria Galatea |

Aye, school's definitely important. We just need a steady steam of crumbs to keep us roped in. That's a really weird mixed metaphor, isn't it?
