Oooh fun! House hunting is... awesome yet stressful!
I hate it. We are only looking to rent and some of the houses are horrifying. Three bedroom. one and a half bath that we can afford is a pain to find.
I also hate house hunting. That's why we've stayed in our current rented house for over 3 years (and I suppose because we like it)
Kallik, you are free to update your character sheet and your tagline whenever you are ready to do so!
Probably after some sleep. As to the house hunting I hate it and dread not getting along with the landlord.
way too tired to post, will do after I sleep. Have we already identifed the smiling rune or are their check to be made?
You recognize the rune as the one So Khong drew when fighting Inam, but nothing more than that. You would have to devote time to research to figure out more.
By the time Ibinu gets done with examining the room, all of you are feeling pretty tired. I'm going to plan to set the scene back in your quarters with an update later tonight, unless I hear otherwise.
Sorry for my absence this past weekend. Been training someone at work and life has been a tad busy.
At worst, I'll be able to get a post up this evening.
No big deal at all. We're like 50/50 at best for actually posting on any given weekend. Always good to take a break if you need one (or keep being busy and never taking a break....)
So sleepy. But we might have a house. My posting may slow down while we do paper work and pack.
Kallik is gonna want to check on Egret before passing out.
Understood. Really, you can see hi to Egret in RP anytime you want - I'm sure you'll all want to head to your quarters after ensuring that the priests have started their work.
Also - congrats on the house!
Oh, and happy 2000 posts everyone!
Thank you! And woot! I have no clue how my posting will be.
One small note: I know you are busy Kallik, but when you get a chance, could you fix your tagline? It's still showing you as a bloodrager. I'll be checking out your profile more thoroughly this weekend I think.
One larger note: the Home and Hearth campaign is done! I was enjoying the story, but when I asked how everyone was doing after a few weeks of slow-ish posting, I got the feeling that it was better to end on a strong note rather than have the story simply fade to black.
I am still 100% committed to this table, and I am constantly amazed by how consistently you all post, and how great your posts are!
Yeah I will try to do that sometime this weekend. I thought I had it.. Probably ate my edit.
Sorry to hear you are losing a table but I am thrilled that this one is continuing! I love this game!
And a medium note: one of the players from the Home and Hearth group is a RL friend, and had a fun idea for a character at this table. I'm planning on introducing his character at the meeting you are all about to go to.
I'm fine with that.
Hello all! You may have formerly known me as Osric, aka, the instigator of all manner of troubles and all-around inconvenient fellow.
I now present to you Agazi Faustino, an all-around troubling fellow and instigator of many inconveniences.
Ky La and Locatelli sacrificed all the inquisitors that were at the temple. Agazi was off doing business in the merchant quarter securing 'donations', and was forgotten about in all the hubub.
He showed up the next day to turn in his haul to his superiors, and everyone has been very cagey about what happened. He's been passed around like a brutbreve ball, and has ultimately been sent to a meeting to be made your problem.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Osiric....Osiric...hmmm
OH YES! I know you as the "brainwashed towny". :-P (No offense intended of course)
I am curious to see if Inam and Agazi have a better relationship than Inam and Osiric...
I'm planning on posting tomorrow with the setup for the morning meeting. Agazi won't be there to start with - I'll let you know when you enter.
That's okay, Osric knew you as "idiot girl" :P
Yeah.... Probably not, at least to start out with. Inam seems to have a way of bringing out the best in people. Agazi's best quality is that he's an effective bully.
Delightful Kallik does not like bullies so she might not like you but bickering in character has never bothered me :)
And you certainly picked a creepy avatar image. Also welcome aboard!
Thanks for the welcome :)
I'm sure we'll get into it plenty in character, but it's all in good fun.
Kallik has gotten into it with so many people!
One of the few PbP games I have been in that was actually completed had a player who constantly bickered with me in character. He was a grumpy older ranger and a I had a awkward cavalier with horrible luck. Easily some of my favorite interactions. We both loved the interactions. Also had a bit of a bully to deal with as it was the player not the character. I also ended the game with baby owlbears!
I think my live table just fell apart. I may need a few days to get rid of the lingering anger, bitterness, and sadness I feel.
Oh that sucks.
Very sorry to hear it. Take the time you need - I'll bot you if necessary.
Hate when that happens Kallik! :-(
Condolences sent your way.
~~It will likely be tonight before I get a chance to post. Training new hire again today.
Am I correct that a normal sylph-respecting sylph would introduce themselves with a handshake? (seeing as they seem to mirror hard working British/Irish)
Regardless, Ibinu will respectfully wait for Inam to introduce herself first.
Yep, that's perfectly acceptable.
That's rough, Kallik. Any spectacular stories, or is the nerve still too raw?
Added the Mansions District to the Campaign Info. I'll get this city done eventually!
I commend your dedication!
I have a homebrew I've been developing for a couple years now, but I stagnated on it for a while. You have been an inspiration. :-)
Thanks! It helps to have awesome players who keep me motivated :)
I always feel bad botting this group because you all have your unique voices. Take all the time you need Kallik, but come back soon!
Regarding Ngoc's last name: Ibinu, Kallik and Inam, you can make a Knowledge Local check (even untrained)
(Agazi, you would now this as a Hearth native, so feel free to take a peek))
"Oscenita" means "Obscenity" in Ifrit. Elens born out of wedlock are usually given a degrading or strict surname like "Sin", "Mistake", "Temperance", or "Forgiveness". This is especially true when one of the parents is of noble birth.
Boom! Shops District as well!
Whoever feels like responding to our new arrival may do so!
Otherwise I'll post an update tomorrow.
Stories might come later. I think I am back though this is crunch time for moving. Friday I will be busy all day so I doubt I will post then. Thank you all for the understanding.
And I approve of the introduction you gave Kallik.
No issue. I like monsters and so long as you plan for him to get better than there is no issue. Sass and snark are fine long term :)
and the hits keep coming! The next 60 minutes, commercial free!
Okay, so I just want to make sure I clarify my personal feelings here, especially since in game Ibinu will act how Ibinu will act.
In game, Ibinu will happily manage all sorts of things and is always up for a logical debate, or even illogical debate. He loves discourse as well as all sorts of other things.
I, however, have a few differences that are recently coming to the fore. I'll happily debate ethics and morality. I'll happily discuss feelings and emotions. I enjoy many aspects of this game.
HOWEVER, I HATE POLITICS. I play this game as escapism. I hate real world politics, from the small town B.S. all the way up to the national/international level. I had my absolute fill of it as a small town police officer for 11 years. I have had my fill of, literally my entire life, watching the political idiocy in my state and federal government (Illinois and U.S.A. for those keeping track). So, simply put, after this latest vote is resolved, I won't be posting on Ibinu when it comes to this council. His character absolutely would keep arguing for his inclusion and the GM has even given him an easy in, but I do not want to even dip my toe into anything political in this game. I honestly don't know what to do, but I really wanted to get this out there before the game shifts farther that direction.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I totally get it! I don't plan on doing this past this one meeting today. This would take up pages and pages if we did it all the time. Once we get these rules down, you can even feel free to designate a stand-in (like Culkin) so you only have to be consulted on the big picture every once in a while.
Thank you for bringing this up - seriously. It's so much easier to make sure we're all on the same page from the beginning.
I think Antioco for the Warrior would be a good sub for Inam, and Bian is the only person outside you guys that Kallik trusts, so I think that would be a good fit too.
Oh thank you! I think I'll be able to finish out what needs to be done in character as long as I know there is an end in sight.
I would also suggest we slow a tad and let Kallik get a post in here or there. We are really moving along quickly on things. Or at least let her get a 'how to bot me in a voting sense' or 'does she even want a seat here?'
I was thinking about that too - although to be honest, I think Kallik would probably be reluctant at best to get into this political junk and stay silent.
I agree though - there's a ton of new posts, so let's say that everyone can have their last say and put up their vote on the current motion, then put things on hold over the weekend until Kallik gets a chance to respond.
