You get puppies which are cute... and then are eaten
Yes!
That's what living is about-- eating things! And sleeping. And feeling, and making other things that eat, sleep and feel, plus all the other stuffs! Weee!
Very good!
*excited golf clap*
Whether tasty or not, food is good for the cycle. Very, very true, Death Keeper!
Have another puppy. It's still squirming. Don't worry, there'll be more.

great... even the new guy is better than Mel....
and he's not even a bard...
I find this amusing given the recent conversations.
For the following reasons:
1) He's probably not specialized in Perform (like, not a Bard, per say)
2) That roll if he maintained it, would get him 3d6 gp/day. In time, he'd draw attention from distant patrons, or even from extraplanar beings.
That's just rolling a 30, btw on 2) above.
Weee!

The Battle of the Bands notice.
And I think so... and if they aren't, Rule of Cool applies, right? It's not like those skills really have any combat applications (except if you're a bard), they're pretty much there for flavor, RP, and a way to earn money on your non-adventuring days.
Also, I think I may swap out Drums for violin, and I'm pretty sure that I could just have Guitar and Bass and be able to play acoustic as well.

Can I just say, despite any other things that Iolth may have done, I love that he and Shoshin seem to be having fun in game. Haven't really followed along, but they seem to have a great back n forth going.
Its nice that two new players are getting along well.
Edit: Countersong and Distraction rely on Perform. The rest seem to not. Slightly odd, but its whatever.

except those are what Mel lives for... I am a bard...
still working on the best way for the battle of the bands to be handled.
Ideas? cant use just straight perform skill rolls there.

Uh, are all bands alive or dead due to fan and range of audience?
Just have the students (one per player) vote. Obviously, you can't vote for your own character... Something along those lines.
Then Lynora can throw in the NPC votes, since you'll have to convince them you rock.

Lyn and I have been working on this also.
we wanted to include important things like rehearsal time, commitment, group effort, leadership of the band leader, and cohesiveness of the band members.
Take one Band.
Blend in cosmic blender, which strips all but mental being away.Mix all members into a gestalt of unified mind.
Attach to SIM Room output.
Upload mad skills.
Produce music.
Win on all criteria listed above, since they are one, tireless, committed, group effort 24/7, all efforts are by the leader, profit. Plus immortal.
:)
Since we're going rule of cool and light, add in, band is now telepathic-- reads audiance's individual's thoughts, sending exactly the 'best' expected song everyone wants to hear, voila.
Nailed it.

unfortunately with those criteria, Mel is a shoe-in for last place. she has a band that has two members that can't perform in public, and one band member that is, well... Ace
and considering current situations I don't foresee any rehearsal time nor time together (with one band member being murdered and all)

yeah .. and it was my idea.
Just go back in time and fix the outcome to win! Ginni's not dead in the past/alternate time line.
You could find perfect versions for band mates!
Gestalt Mind thing, pure win though. Try it before you say no.
Ooooooooo.. Or, for the low price of your immortal soul, win by demonic influence! NPCs standing by, but you gotta really want it.

I hope Lyn is OK. :/
I can't work out a concerned emote...In other news, I'm working on a Cosplay for Vitruvius from the Lego Movie.
Life isn't always doom and gloom, you know..
Maybe she won the lottery, flew to Paris and is enjoying Europe!
Think on that a bit. City of Lights, with hubby and kidlet, touring the Old World.

But the devil went down to Georgia is one of my planned songs.

Kidding...
I mostly wanted it because it has a great part for each member of our band if I haven't singlehandedly destroyed it...

"Well, everyone I met from there is nice, so I guess it makes sense that people are nice here. Let's just find out."
She walks with her hand in hand to the school. Not knowing where to go, she looks for anything that says Vare on it.

Would you like to join my band Tybs?
I mean, I could potentially play all the instruments at once through teleportation, though that would be showing off...
David.De'Foul |
not to worry Tybs, Mel is almost in the same boat as you are.
as least your band members can perform in front of large audiences.
you sure on that?
Dave is convinced that if he were to preform, either no one would comeOr they would come, but only to throw things at him

if you want to be a part of our dysfunctional bands you will just have to figure out about us and talk to us. we do welcome new friends.
only rule is no huge ego's we already got enough of those around

Sadly, no, I've just been buried in housecleaning and *shudder* cleaning out the kidlet's room. A project we always tackle his first week off of school.
Although if I did win the lottery, going to Paris would be the first thing I'd do. I've always wanted to see Paris. That's item number 1 on my bucket list. :)

I thought Ace was an advantage in that particular scenario.
And you have no idea how being murdered will effect Ginni's self-confidence going forward...who knows, coming back from the dead may help her get over her stage fright (in which case she's actually a pretty badass bard in her own right). :P

Don't swap out drums. Finding a drummer is really, really hard around here....there's Janie and.........yeah, that's about it. Well, Zren and Rikken kinda, but they are not what you'd call traditional drummers.... point is we have more bands than drummers so might want to keep that in mind.

Iolth
don't see the need for skill focus perform honestly, it is a feat that does not really fit everything else about you.
but if you are to take it I do recommend not boosting a skill that is already in abundance here.
like Lyn said drums / percussion is best bet. also not overlapping (stepping on toes) of others.

♣♠Magic♦♥ wrote:Does Tybs really read as being that clingy?
I'm really trying hard to not write it that way.
I write it one way and he seems totally distant and uninterested and then I write it another and he's clingy and annoying. I just can't get it right, and I'd rather have him clingy than like he totally doesn't care at all.
This is really hard for me to do right, as I simply haven't felt this way before. I'm basically working off of movies and books as to what this is supposed to be like, and those always end nominally well, so trying to do this realistically, I just don't really know what to do. :(Yes.
His posts read like someone who needs a ton of therapy before they will have anything to offer a partner.
Work on his self confidence, his self image, that doesn't revolve or depend on what other people think of him.
That's what a therapist would tell him.
I do have to agree with this. And have heard this kind of thing from a therapist before.
It doesn't exactly help that emotionally abusive relationships are often romanticized in fiction aimed at young adults. (Gives Twilight the stink-eye.) So there's this twisted idea of what romance actually is in our culture and it doesn't match up to a healthy relationship on any level.I think Tybs has been getting some good advice from both Keme and Mel who are pretty much telling him the same thing. Give Dave some space, believe in yourself, figure out who you want to be on your own first, don't force things, you have people here who care about you, etc. But, very realistically, Tybs isn't listening to a word of it. Not sure what's going to give him that lightbulb moment of 'the only person I can change is me' but that's what he needs to really move forward in a positive direction. Willing to have Mercy step in with a pep talk if that will help.
Melody Waverider |
well Mel came up with a plan in gameplay to get Tybs to have an affect with helping someone. which is also to help serve mending any ill feelings between Tybs and Ace.
which I am unsure why Ace was zapped to the scene in the first place but he's there so best make him useful.
