I have some notes.

XyloJW posted:

You get 10 freebie points to spend in addition to everything else. 5 points buys you an Attribute, 2 points buys you an ability, 1 point buys you a willpower.

You have 7/5/3 attributes, so you're fine there. For abilities, you have 15/9/8, instead of 13/9/5, which means you bought 5 abilities for 10 points, and then you have 7 willpower instead of the normal 4, which means you spent 3 there. You're 3 points over, so whether you want to take away 2 skills and get an extra willpower, or drop a willpower and a skill, or all 3 willpower is up to you.


I checked everyone's math and they all worked out.

But I only have 6 willpower? I'll just drop a skill.
e: done

Also I'm glad someone put points in Willpower. They're basically get-out-of-jail free cards that will save your life in emergencies.

Btw Xylo, I'll be playing Buggy as constantly struggling to find the sweet spot of functionally drunk, wavering between crippling withdrawals and totally rat poo poo. I hope you have a game mechanic for that.

That's more what etiquette is for. Streetwise applies to the actual streets. Like handshakes to get you into crackhouses and poo poo.

What's the general rule in post frequency etiquette or whatever. Obviously you don't just want one player running off and doing a hundred actions, especially when we have all the time in the world. Is this something you will manage xylo by just not posting actions for some players till others catch up (so to speak)?

Yeah that's basically what I was planning. If I start to feel someone's leaving others in the dust I'll probably just say "I'll come back to you in a bit on that." Until then feel free to do stuff at your own pace.

Generally in RPGS, time is very abstract. You can declare you're doing something that takes 5 minutes, and we resolve it right there. It's relatively easy to just say "okay while you were doing this, this person was doing this for those 5 minutes."

My current plan is to respond to xylo posts or player actions that have an impact on me, and otherwise sitting tight. That way xylo can set the pace.

Oh feel free to interact with other players. I can stop people by interrupting them easily if I need to slow the pace, but speeding up the pace is up to y'all.

I'm not going to end the warehouse scene till bell jar gets a chance to declare actions and intentions, but there's plenty of room for your characters to get to know each other or to find out more about your surroundings.

Haha, this is going to be great. I already love not having any clue what the gently caress's going on with Mills. It's going to suck when school holidays are over and work speeds up and I can't keep F5-ing all day.

E: I never understood why galah is supposed to be an insult, by the way. However many L's you spell it with. Galahs are adorable.
