Do I really have to explain this again so that you can feel better about yourself, or are you just sad that you can't punch out the guy in a single hit?

You only dealt 1B damage, yes, but that means that you could have had around 20 dice to roll against any other oponent that is not an extra.

Actually, thinking about now, I may be doing the calculus wrong. What I have been doing is X/3-Y whereas X is the raw damage and Y is the Extra's Soak value. On the other hand, I might have gotten the rule wrong and it should be (X-Y)/3.

As an example, if your raw damage would be 18 against an Extra with Soak 2, the two calculations would be like this:
18/3-2=4
(18-2)/3=5.333... (rounded up to 6)

I will test the second one on the next round and see how much more powerful it will make you.

Well, finally posted

As usual, I have no idea whether the rules let me do all the s*** I wrote. Just let me know and I'll change it

The thing with the shattered axe was just for pure awesomeness (that is, pure cosmetics).

Truth be told, I have no idea what on earth you just did, but if there aren't any rules for it I can make some up
There is nothing that you can't try in Scion, so never ask yourselves if the rules allow it

As for the axe, you might want to start thinking about the difference between what is cool and what is overdoing it. Cool as it may be, the pointlessness made it less cool than it could have been.

Of course, when you've explained to me what it is that you are trying to do, I might see the point with the axe thing

EDIT: Alrighty, just figured out what the hell you were doing, so never mind what I just said above

So Drakar's character, Jacob, will be temporarily NPCed by Tesseract (for those not in the know, he is Shounin's older brother). It is weird explaining who he is, since all of you know who he is.

Anyhow, Tesseract is going to be NPCing Drakar's character until his return (which I have no friggin idea when is).

YOU HAS 1000 POSTS!

As weird as I think it is to attack another PC without any point, Arashi has now been thrown out of the train somewhere in the middle of the Alps.

Shounin, unless you want Arashi to drop out of this little adventure, you can attempt to save his butt with a good Stunt. If you fail the Stunt, your character is left behind.

I'm setting the difficulty at 10, with a roll depending on your description (and of course any Epic Attribute counted). Remember that you still have Legend points and Willpower points, which can be used at the same time. Good luck

EDIT: I should also tell you that I didn't find anything noting how many Legend points you can spend each turn, but I think it is reasonable to assume that you can only spend one Willpower point.

In other news, I'm giving you all 5 XP in addition to the XP you earned through stunting, except for Solon's character (who didn't post and thus won't get anything) and Drakar's character (who is being NPCed by a Tesseract and gets 3).

Can I please tell you how disappointed I am?

Shounin, who really should have posted, did not post and due to his failure to do so he is now stuck somewhere in the middle of the Alps. It is too early to be getting rid of PCs and getting new ones, so you can still play him if you like.

Tesseract did good with Jacob, and I'm giving him 2SB for it and 1 XP. Actions that are not rolled can also be stunted and he did a good job in my oppinion.

Weekend is doing some random and pointless killings. I did note in the second post of this thread that I prefer that you don't act like you're 12> years old. I admit that it was better than what you initially intended to post, but pointless killings are just that. They are completely pointless and don't belong in this game. Avoid it if you can, but post it if you can't.

Dear me, I bet I'm about to be smitten by this

I have removed Drakar from the game. If he returns with a good reason why he hasn't posted in the past few weeks, I'll be keeping his character ready. For the moment however, I haven't been able to reach him and so he has been removed from the list of players.

This game has now officially been assassinated. After talking to some of the players, I have concluded that this game annoyes me just too much for me to continue with it.

This game is dead. Stop posting.

Killing a game because not all of the players danced after your finely woven line right from the beginning..

I must say that i am Very dissapointed in you.

Characters aren't made for a story.

A story is made around the characters. Which is the job of a storyteller.




Not all groups click together right away because most characters take more then five minutes to become a real PART of a group.

I've always looked at you as the best ST i know, i hate that i now have to reconsider my views.

We could argue about this for many days to come, but the fact is that I did kill this game not because you wouldn't jump through the hoops that I wanted you to but because you wanted to play characters that would rather kill each other than work together.

And I am not pointing at any single one of you specifically. As some of you have already told me, you were just posting in character, and I respect that as well as prefer it that way. On the other hand, posting in character would undoubtly end with the death of one or more PCs by the hand of another player and that is unacceptable.

Point A: Cage walks around the room and shoots defeated Extras, just because he had nothing else to do and it fits the character.
Point B: Eztli attacks Cage because Eztli hates liking what he saw Cage do and blames Cage for it. Note that Eztli uses lethal force. This is all in character says GT, which I doubt based on previous events.
Point C: GT switches Eztli's lethal force into non-lethal. Still in character says GT and I do not argue this.
Point D: Here's where things would undoubtly go to hell if I would not have ended the game. Based on previous events, the most logical thing for Cage to do after being attacked (with lethal or non-lethal force) would be to attack back with lethal force. Anything else wouldn't have been logical. Even if Eztli would continue using non-lethal force, Cage should logically use lethal force. The guy is insane and judging by the player's last post he loves to inflict pain for no real reason. This time he has reason.

If I would somehow manage to stop the fight before it ended with someone's death, for example by introducing another enemy, who is to say that it wouldn't be in character for the characters to continue the fight afterwards?

One player said that it is the GM's job to stop this kind of infighting before they would get out of hand. Perhaps that is right, but no less true is the fact that it is the Players' job to make characters who don't fight each other to death.
Based on the character's you made for this game, it would be too much pressure for any GM to be assumed to stop every single stupid act that you would think of because you think it fits the character.

I thought I had players that were mature enough for their characters to join together by themselves, that I wouldn't need to introduce some massive patron to keep you all together against the villain. Obviously, I thought wrong.

Do not think I killed the game because I couldn't control your characters. I killed it because you are too immature to play in a mature game.

I will admit (As ive done before) That Eztli should not have attacked with lethal force, that was simply silly of me.

And now that i think back it probably would have made more sense for him to simply dislike Cage because of this rather then attack him

However if things would have continued like that Eztli would prolly have attacked him eventually.

But yes, t'was rash.
