If I do return, I would indeed like to play as Zee/ro again. And I've always had faith in KM, even if it was only the size of a mustard seed.

Idea: I don't know exactly what Zero went through, but maybe it's changed his physical qualities/capabilities somehow? Hoorah for character development via deus ex machina! :P

And that would be why I didn't bother to suggest any ideas of my own. Not that i lacked creativity myself! Stop saying that!

That's right cj, ya bloody boring sod.

Alright, who left the food jar open?
You are attracting bugs!

So I just spent an hour looking for the post about the thing in the well and getting distracted by reading other posts.

Yesss...

Who, me? I didn't say nothin'! You can't prove it!

Out of curiosity, what thoughts do you guys think about the thing in the well? What do you think it is?

Mal Radagast · #**2513** 06-13-2012, 09:33 PM

Hey - I nominated ...is so for Hall of Fame. Someone go second it, huh?

Meanwhile, the thing in the well sounds like bugs. Granny doesn't like bugs.

Seconded, and it's in the running. All you CS types, go vote, and make up for our lousy job of selling this AMAZING game!!

Pretty obviously the ch-ch is some sort of bug, and there's a suggestion of a swarm... reminds me of the bugs in Apotheosis (there were bugs, right?). I can't tell if there's actual intelligence involved. What that scene reminded me of more than anything was the hobbits and Gandalf outside of Moria, sans the horrifying multi-limbed Beast.

EDIT: Found the bugs:

But they buzz rather than CH-CH!

Now what the...?

kingmonkey · #**2516** 06-22-2012, 12:59 PM

Which 'what the' are you referring to? There are several 'what the's at play, here. In case you were ever curious, there are now, and have been for a while now, several different plots in motion, directly relating to your characters, only one of which is your own group-driven effort to tend to your hierarchy of needs (first order: safety).

Also, reivision (did you know that I always pronounce your name with a Spanish accent in my head? rrréivisión!) please let me know if you want to resume playing Zero and I will start you up a private thread. I've got 'plans' for you.

Well, as far as "plots" go, I always figured as much -- actually, no, I didn't. I've figured there aren't anything as simple as "plots" going on in this world. More of an infinite cosmos, eternally whirling, events happening all across the globe, continent, city, and our intestines that go on without our notice. This is truly too vast a space to call the moments of life that string together from hour to hour anything as mundane as a "plot".

Anyway, you had to figure KM needed to start getting rid of the excess NPCs we're dragging around now. Sucks that it may be Grey... on the other hand, maybe he's just killing her magic ability. More drama, more suckitude for us to lose a source of hope like her magic! I'm suddenly reminded how we auditioned for this game by writing a scene of "cruelty". Oh, boy....

Grey has used up all her 'stamina'.
There is only 1 game system I know of in which you can pass out from casting too many spells at once, and this probably isn't using those rules.

But I'm going to need a slow start...my girlfriend is visiting me this week, so I won't have much time.

It's not the game system you're thinking about. I resolve all actions and outcomes by playing Crazy Eights against my friend Jeff. So any time something bad happens, you can thank Jeff for that.

rei... if anyone here is okay with taking a game slowly, it's me. I think my rip-roaring pace of two posts a month might be manageable for you. Besides, it's not got a time-limit. I'll set you up later today. Whenever you get around to posting is fine by me.
