Evindyl, I am aware Maggie's understanding of who you are at the moment, given you've known each other for about 3 minutes, does not match reality. All she knows is you appear to be an ancient Greek hero named Jason who has claimed lineage from Zeus, and that does does not match the many stories and plays she has read about a Greek hero named Jason. I am sure your character will have every opportunity to explain his story to her later.
The point of my explaining Maggie's understanding of things was a broader point: since she has just met alternate universe versions of EVERYONE, she is not going to find it odd or off to find not quite like the comics versions of the Avengers. It was part of a message to the GM that if he is trying to drop a plot anvil on me, he needs a larger anvil.
ah ... the general point of "if everyone I've met in the past 3 minutes is an 'alt', how weird will the alt-Cap and alt-BW really seem?" makes a LOT of sense to me.
I really hope Evindyl is okay. Nonetheless I wonder if we should bot and move forward, as it's been about a week? I am concerned we will lose the momentum we had if we don't keep going.
I know you don't like botting, ST, but it's generally a given need for PBP.
True. I would have done it on Sunday, but I've been distracted by flooding at my parent's house. Fortunately, Evindyl told me what he was planning to do. Not sure why that didn't happen, but I'll play it out.
I fell asleep :( sorry about that
Had an interview yesterday which took a lot of my attention too
I am here now, and will look back at our AoE discussion for the crunch I need. Sorry about the delay tho
I feel like we are not posting and engaged at the level that I expected from this group. Let me know if there is something that you need from me to feel like you know what is going on or what you should be doing or where the plot is.
I like to leave things somewhat open, but I know that that can sometimes cause uncertainty, which can lead to paralysis.
Honestly, I thought we were doing fine until we got slowed down by the combat and waiting for folks to post. That is always going to happen with combat in a PBP. Because you can't have lengthy conversations inside a combat round. But we are picking back up now. We just need to fast forward to gt us back to Beetle and we should be fine.
The engines of the air transport squeal as it bolts upward, gaining altitude rapidly.
Everyone but Beetle is has an action here. Beetle can act in his scene.
I honestly missed this post that the air transport escapes.
Sentry can hear 30 miles away as if they are next to him AND can fly 30 miles in a 6 second round. Sentry has been keeping tabs on Ted's conversation and location 1 mile away, regardless if they entered tunnels, which I missed too if they did. So, Sentry heard about Abner.
Maggie, Dr. Wan, Sentry, Jason and Herk were in a bookstore on the side of the street. They had not started going down to the 5 people hiding underground. Still fiddling to make coffee.
So, unless I'm really misreading the status of the two groups, Sentry's post stands except the last bit about bringing Ted an air transport to "shoot and reboot." Fortunately, it's easy to imagine what that post should have been with the last bit cut.
Cheers
No we hadn't gone down yet. Beetle and the three NPCs were underground (and I thought it was them you were trying to fetch). My suggestion had been that we find a way beneath the coffee shop and then meet up with the others from there, since I am fairly certain the group of four was heading toward the group of five. (I am saying all this just to reexplain my thinking and not a suggestion to do anything different now.)
I was just really struggling to follow the jump in action/transition as it happened. Especially since I wasn't sure how the logistics were working. I'll just shut up now and go with the flow as best I can.
Unrelated to our communication challenges, which I think we have paved over for now.
One thing I am having fun with is putting some Easter Eggs in the campaign, but I have no idea if anything is landing. Feel free to put something in Discussion that you understood that reference, if that is interesting to you. Or if you have no idea.
I'm enjoying the story with Sentinels and Terminator mashup. Haven't figured out Abner yet.

I am way more excited about Abner meeting Ted than I should be.
Am guessing that Abner is the Beetle/Techno? A meeting of two Beetles :)
BTW, Ted is cool with the salvaged ship being his new bug. Not going to post tonight. I'm pretty tired.

Nothing improved in my situation, but I'll keep us moving as much as I can. Loving this game.

Indeed. It is a big nerd moment for me. Probably just for me, but I hoped that at least Black Dow, Fan of Jobber Villains, would get the reference.
Two somewhat loser Beetles meet is the sort of nerd s~!# I am here for.
Haha. Guilty as charged your honour!
Bodes well - here's hoping for a Porcupine or Paste Pot Pete appearance down the line lol.

Echoing Jason - here's hoping all is not too serious.
