Now that the evil spirit that haunted these boards seems to have passed, hopefully we can get going again :p
Ready as ever.
I'm back.
But I'm still dead.
Maybe it's the avatar. In one of my other games, a character with that same avatar was dead for 6 irl months!
(Her clone She got better)
What's been up with the boards recently - it's pretty frustrating!
Holy shit, it has been a bad week and a half.
I think a little issue was exacerbated by a con, and it snowballed into a lot of bigger issues... it happened last summer to, but more early-august
Paizo hasn't really explained what's up, but some amount of increased strain from the PF2 playtest has to be part of it.
Still, we've had what, almost 6 hours of nearly uninterrupted downtime? I wouldn't say it without a chunk of wood nearby to knock, but if it's still up tomorrow morning, they might've unf+##ed things.
On a re-read, I wasn't thrilled with the clarity of my post where Kelly texted Carrie, so let me lay that out:
Kelly used Carrie's remaining thumb to unlock her phone.
Once Carrie's phone was unlocked she found out what her phone number was.
Then Kelly used her own phone to send Carrie the text about clothes and a ride before putting Carrie's phone back in her pocket.
Wow! Did not see that coming from Yu! I'll await the resolution of the miss before a gameplay response though...
All signs pointed to fight or flight. This way I can roll both. Yu is the proactive type.
And, though it was clearly a misread on my/Kelly's part, I thought Yu wanted Kelly to peek, so you should keep the string.
Hey! It’s back! I’ll post tonight!
If there aren't troubles or travails for Kelly on her ride back, did you want to take the lead on what happens when she pulls up to the warehouse, Carrie?

I'll give Elsine another day to make things complicated and then I'll jump in.
I'm happy with that as our scene's endpoint if you are - I'm ready to pick up with a grumpy(er) and bleary eyed Kelly if the next scenes are happening tomorrow/today.
Sounds good to me.
Me a few weeks ago: I should switch Volatile and Dark. It's what Yu would do, and it'll show that they're on-edge and off their usual mysterious game. It'll be interesting.
Me now: dang... There is no easy way to swap to a stat block where Yungfeng can operate with his usual swagger, and that's if I hit on that gaze roll... This is going to be... interesting.
Hi! Sorry! I’ve been suffering from an inability to access the site on mobile. I’ll be back to a computer later this week and I can resume playing.
Okay, so we're waiting on Frederic to respond to Alex and give Kelly a condition, Yungfeng's Shut Down to go horribly wrong, and Mindy's computer to start working :p
?
ASCII magic save us!

As a PSA - apparently the recent update broke the PM notifications. So it's worth doublechecking every so often if someone's trying to reach you, and not getting irked if someone's not responding.
Sorry, guys. bad weekend.
Don't leave essays to the last minute, kids.
I did that literally every time with virtually no consequences.
So...Mindy is a little aimless right now. Any good scenes for her to join?
Never mind, just saw the gameplay.
*white hot envy*
I think I once got an A on a two-sentence-long essay on Catcher in the Rye. Something to the effect of "I don't understand the appeal of a do-nothing protagonist doing nothing for three hundred pages while blaming everyone else for his problems. I suppose for a complete waste of time, it was well written."

Two sentences is about what that book deserves. My English teacher was a bit less chill. Docked me 5 points for summarizing king leads as "that play where a guy splits up his kingdom based on home much his kids kiss his ass"

I hope we get an external threat soon, or else Mindy and Kelly will kill each other.
or is there one already...
Seriously, though, I love when this game just goes... I'll step in soon, but I like watching you guys factionalize into unstable teams
So I know Stay's not eternal, has it been long enough?
Yes
Well, I'm being sent off to Germany for work for a week. I'll be busy so I'll be spotty.
Next week I'll be traveling for work. Don't know how it might effect my posting.
So,.. Are we moving on to dinner?
No in-thread retcon's necessary or anything - but Kelly's actually a midfielder, not a forward.
I only bring it up because her dynamic with Taryn isn't that they're competing at the same role and Taryn's better, it's that they're both fantastic at their role but Kelly's role is to support and enable Taryn (and to encourage the other team to be Very Polite).
It's less competition and more wrestling with the hierarchy of their roles - that's making a biiig difference in how Kelly responds.
That said, offensive midfielders are expected to score now and again, and being sent to the bench carries the same emotional weight no matter from what position, so if it's cool I'll just elide past some of the specifics in my next post.
well, nows the bit where I admit that I have;t played soccer in... shit almost 14 years, and I was under 10, so... yeah, sorry.
No worries! I don't expect you to research every hobby or interest that every character has, and I really hope this didn't come off as nitpicky. I only brought it up because I thought it had actual characterization implications :-)

Hi everyone. My wife is giving birth today. I'll be around during the morning/early afternoon today and then basically vanish for most of the rest of the week. Bot me if you have to!
congratulations!
Thanks!
Many congratulations and good luck!
I was thinking a keep your cool, followed by a violent and volatile slide tackle if Kelly was losing.
I don't know if there's any sort of mechanic for just voluntarily giving someone a string - but I feel like Taryn should definitely have (at least) one on Kelly. Thoughts?
