Point my gun at Carl.

"What?"

Spoiler: GM Notes (click to show/hide)

I may have accidentally too many modifiers this game. It would be fine tabletop with everyone doing their own rolls and char sheets but it's starting to take a while doing it all myself. Especially with multiple opponents. *rubs imaginary beard* I might have to do something about that later.

((You think that's bad? Try having a hundred superheroes and -villains fighting a giant hydrokinetic snake in Toronto. Ugh, that bit was horrible.))

(I would like to hear about this.)

((Most of them were NPCs, I started abstracting most of the actions--although I had to figure out what each of them did, for the most part--and a lot of the supers started dying before they all arrived, not to mention that that bit of the game's over now...but here.))

((I don't dispute that you killed him, what i dispute is that you can just instantly claim ownership of everything after the mission ended.

((Wrong. Radio/Miya (I don't remember if it was OOC or IC) specifically stated--multiple times--that loot would be pooled post-mission. Neither you nor Auron protested.))

He stated this after i looted the cloak and never bothered to loot anything himself, i hold no respect for that declaration and felt it did not dignify a response.

((I wasn't paying that much attention, but from what RC said it sounded like this happened before the mission really got underway. Besides, if you think someone is wrong, you should say so. I've seen it time and time again--okay, mostly read about it happening, but I've seen it some--where X does something no one else likes, no one else speaks up, so X doesn't realize there's a problem until it's too late.))

killing him gave you first dibs on his loot but you ignored it despite posting twice before i woke up and then when i did loot it you made no mention of you desire to take ownership of the cloak. Bishop could have voiced his desire to loot it as well and i probably would have flipped him for it but the fact of the matter is that you both had your chance to claim it and you both missed it, end of story.

((He doesn't want it, he wants the group to have it. Is it really fair that magpies get twice the stuff everyone else does despite contributing half as much?))

If i hadnt looted it then it would have been abandoned and noone would be able to argue over it. Oh and that saying goes both ways, i was the only one who bothered to loot anything, why should i give away half my loot?
That isnt to say i wouldnt share with those in need, but i cannot be expected to support everyone by myself.

((What did you do to deserve the loot? Is the guy who hangs back from the fights and takes the loot anyways really a team player? And how do you know no one else would have looted it?
Besides which, let's consider the system you're proposing. The people who do the mission-critical stuff--Miyamoto, or Jim, or the only guy with a gun, armor, and firearms skills on a hypothetical combat mission, or the only guy with computer skills on some kind of infiltration--don't have time to loot. The people like Auron, and hypothetically people like STEPHEN HAWKING* and Grate, don't have as much to do, so between firefights they can pick the corpses clean. This system rewards people who are doing stuff to help the mission maybe half or two-thirds of the time and being selfish the rest, while penalizing people who are actually focused on getting the mission objectives accomplished.
Your behavior is reminding me of a certain kind of MMORPG griefing, incidentally. Last to fight, first to pick lewt.))

((*He invented griefing, but at least he has the character not to do so. Intentionally.))

as for never responding i didn't bother reading it fully until now, i knew you'd have to post it after the briefing and bean counting isn't all that interesting to begin with.))

((So, you're admitting that you did basically no work, not even reading the whole thread, yet you want to claim everything you got your little paws on despite being directly against the interests of the whole team and the ground rules previously set up?))

((Hey, BFEL, this guy's really hurting the ability of newbies to catch up.))

((I admit to not bothering to read the OOC ramblings of a space accountant and nothing more, i still put forth every effort to complete my mission objectives to the best of Aurons abilities and even intended to donate some loot to the fund once i had determined everythings worth, what and if i donated were not radios decisions to make.

((It was the decision of the group. If people don't agree with RC's suggestion, they should speak up. And look at token distributions. We're not giving out stuff for effort, we're giving it according to result. And some for need. Really, Auron doesn't have much of either.))

And no im not hurting the ability of the newbies, you seem to have forgotten that the cloak may well be worthless unless repaired, is estimated at only two tokens in which one is mine and finally the laser rifles and tokens i gave out prior to the mission to those who asked me for them.))

((Congratulations on the last effort. The first points don't negate that you're still preventing the newbies from getting a full slice of the pie.))

Edit: oh and if you recall during that fight i wanted to taser them but you killed them all first and bishop pinned me to the floor whilst holding a monorazor against my throat.

((Weren't you under the UE's control at that point?))

((No i rolled a 6 on my will save, i was completely fine and intent on being useful.))

((Oh. How long was it since that happened?))


((And, for the record, if anyone explains to Grate why Miyamoto and the others are beating up Auron to take his cloak, he'll help. He knows that sharing is important! ...Okay, he'll probably just be a cheerleader, maybe a bullet sponge, but hey.))


((Also, did any of Grate's gear he had on him survive the crushing?))

To teammates: <This is bad, I could take the extreme measure of cauterizing the wound, but my control isn't very good right now and the shock to his system might kill him even if I did it right. does anyone here have a healing ability or a way to give him some more blood?>

<I might be able to get one once I can move...or I might accidentally kill him...>

through interface, to teammates and entities: <So you used to be... less than you currently are. Is that true of all of you?... Also... sorry about being so accusing earlier. It's been a really bad day for me.>

<It's alright. Yeah, I guess.>

((What Kriellya said.
Also, I'm now comparing notable people to the leaders of the early Soviet Russia.
Steve = Marx
Miyamoto = Lenin
Caellath = Stalin
Jim = Bukharin
Er...I dunno who else. Still.))

((The second rule sounds good. The first...well, there should be a clause about reducing pay at the end of a mission to keep stuff you buy for it, but other than that great.))

((Problem is, you can then buy battlesuits for 20 fund token, then pay the AM 10 at mission end, and bam: battlesuit at half price. The whole picture is a little more complicated, with different overall pay for the others, but I think you see my point.))

((Why does this have to be the case? Aren't we making the rules?))

Big reason for the squabbling is that previously, it was a 'capitalist' system where there was plenty (since Steve was a bottomless pit of tokens), yet now it's a 'communist' system with a very limited amount to go around. In other news, being the bean counter when there isn't enough to go around is fun     ))

((I bet. I don't envy you.))

((When were we ever real capitalist? Equal distribution of common pay for all work definitely doesn't sound capitalist in any regard...))

((When was our pay ever equal?))

((I don't dispute that you killed him, what i dispute is that you can just instantly claim ownership of everything after the mission ended.

((@Radio Controlled: I just realised there isn't something I really need to buy. I just want to buy a conventional decompensator when I have +2. So feel free to give my tokens and any bonus I get to someone else. If I need to buy a more powerful weapon for next mission I'll just use the team fund. Even though the hoarder inside me wants to sit on top of a pile of shiny tokens, I don't have much use for them right now.))

((I'm in much the same position, except that I actually do need to buy something, I just don't have much idea what.
Well, I'm considering buying a kinetic amp and making a pill from it. They have little chip things that does the actual thing, right?))

((Those are references to games. Get all three and win a pyrite star!))

((Hm. Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Call of Duty's Zombie Mode, and...Doom?))
((Phooey, scapheap guessed first. But most of his guesses are different!))

Keep healing, like I tried to do last turn but you missed my post.

((Stupid Xantalos.))

"Like him? Auntie Selina and I made him for you."

_{"Um... Momo?"} Meme asks quietly, still caught up in the moment.

"That's a nice name."

_{"I will, pwomise. I be a good mommy."} Meme carefully gets a nearby fluffy towel and wraps his body in it to keep him warm.

Momo looks at Meme and smiles.

Selina is still in shock.

"Are you okay, Selina?"
[Yuri, Demons Run, Maria, Conny:] <Hey, are any of Selina's girlfriends or close friends available? She's kinda...surprised.>
