Roommate: Hey, Brian, something is wrong with the computer.
Grugg: Oh? What is it?
Roommate: Well, I was downloading something and now Ive deleted most of system32 and system restore.
Grugg:


Long story short, I am posting this from my phone.

The 3/4 complete post is presumably erased, as soon as I can get to a computer Ill put the update up.

This would happen, wouldn't it.

...it does... we'll live... *shifty glance left, shifty glance right*... some of us, anyway.... or one of us... who wants ice cream?

Few things:

1. Eol is a scary person.
2. This is why you use Linux
3. Golf Carts are hilarious
4. Eol dude... SERIOUSLY?
5. I will get a filler post in before the update

Also, this exclusive video was taken only minutes ago in Westside:

I'm not scary... I'm chocolaty and crunchy and oh so good for impressionable young minds... which are also rather yummy... which is another topic entirely that will have to be broached in due fashion... but back to ice cream... what were you saying?


Seriously...


Also... thanks to Addy, you all now get to listen to Turkey in the Straw on the ride to Westside.

But don't worry... it'll be fun... Trust the Eol... The Eol is good... The Eol is wise...

Alright. Not my computer, but I'll have a computer for today. Thanks for being so understand, and the filler posts in the meantime have been excellent. I'll be posting with an update this afternoon, and hopefully have my computer repaired by later today so I can get back to actually being around.

Alright update is up, and first taste of combat has begun!

For those of you that want to read the update before this to avoid having the combat situation spoilered, please do so now.

There are eight, large angry men in front of the truck, and one heap of rags you've deduced to be a man who has been severely beaten. One of them has a switchblade, two have tire irons, one has another molotov cocktail, three are barehanded and one is still carrying a rap-blasting, booty-pounding boombox.

As of this time, all of you are still in the ice-cream truck. For the purposes of you all having time to react during the unfolding events, getting yourself out of the ice-cream truck will not require any actions or time.

Now, for the some quick notes on the mechanics of combat.

Every "round" is essentially 10 seconds for all intents and purposes, so if you can do something in 10 seconds, it's safe to assume it's a round's worth of actions. Id like combat to move swimmingly, so if you can sort of outline a plan of action over multiple rounds (either here or in the game thread itself) it will help us get through it quickly and not bog the game down.

I shall attempt to make a map to detail combat positions if you need it, but suffice to say you're in a square surrounding by fire about 20ft x 20ft, and the gang of thugs is about 10ft in front of the truck.

Any questions?

I have to say... This game is awesome.

*disappears back into a dark corner*

...here's a question... How long would it take to attach a hose to the "soft serve machine with the red handle" and squirt it at the dillhole with the lit molotov? I'd like to see what happens when a napalm shake gets mixed with a gasoline beer! Teeheeteehee....

I mean... um... working on a post, now....

Just a reminder, you have an upper limit on awesome points, so the sooner you spend them the sooner you can get more.

Also, unless you have a fire hose in your pants...and I am not elaborating on that...you might have some trouble with that Eol.

...but I digress...

Who needs a hose when ya got waffle cones? Serve and sling, you know?

Think I'll hold Percy back for a moment and let others (aside from Steel, who's already done so) post first...

Cue The Entertainer!!!

Computer is fixed. Is good.

I'll get a post up maybe tonight.

Do we have a general move/act setup or something? I mean I can accomplish a lot in 10 seconds

Nice Grugg.

I'm with Admiral -- any clue about move/act would be nice, but it isn't nessecary. I'm formulating something now, but it might not be up until this evening or so.

PS-- I love the new title for this thread.

Per round, try to think of it in D&D terms, generally one move action + one other action. You have a bit more time than a D&D round, but just try to be reasonable.

The rules are a large port from D20 modern, but with accounting for the different character sheets, is a little changed.

Also, awesome points can be used for additional actions, if I never mentioned that before, so if you want to "tripletime" it, feel free.

Also, bears.

Hell yes I'm pushing awesome points.

Thugs at 10' and fire at 20'? Would it be safe to say that a shot from the sawed off double barrell would knock a guy back into the fire?

I'd use an awesome point to hit a guy and have him knock two more in with him.
