"Angel okay? Want bath?" Meme actually liked baths if they were nice and warm.Angel shakes her head. "Thanks for offering, though."
Kyle is gone by now having had a head start on Ashley who can teleport by a couple of minutes.Mm-hm...
Kyle blinks. And then runs in a different direction.
"..."You suck at convincing us Kyle isn't an idiot.
Kyle keeps running from someone who wants to comfort him.
"...Gah, that quickly turned into me sounding like I was talking you out of... yeah..."Wasn't it implied rather heavily at some point that we might have to talk Kyle out of "yeah" at some point?
"I can name the people that care who I haven't known for years on one hand."Most of the Northdale Five are saddened or annoyed by this. Either that, or astonoshed at Kyle's poor math skills.
<You still haven't given me proof besides claims that from people.><What more do you want from me? I could just shoot you to send you there, an option that is growing more attractive by the minute.>
<I'm not being stubborn. No one has proved anything to me yet.><Nothing can be proven outside the laws of mthematics, especially when magic is involved. Illusions and mind alterations are all too easy, and in your mind those can already exist so why should anything that could just be the result of that be believed? Furthermore, why would every authority currently queried--including close friends--want to lie to us about this?>
<He's being a stubborn, ignorant idiot. More so than usual. Isn't that reason enough?><Seriously though, why do we care?<Because it's Kyle, so automatically everyone cares. Hasn't anybody else noticed this?>>
<... Yeah, it does kind of bother me that I get called out on me flaws but when I do good no one even notices it. Hell, one time Will stole my shit and no one cared! WHAT THE FUCK!><When did I steal your stuff?>
Meme is hugging Will... she could use a bath.Will sighs at Kyle and starts getting a bath ready for Meme, regardless of if she wants to or not.
Why? It seems unfun and not really interesting. Besides that would just make this TA with super powers.Isn't that what this is?
One power per person.Aw. Well, the power I've been thinking of is technically one power with several disparate applications...
<You all haven't proved a thing to me besides saying that I'm wrong. Prove I'm wrong, why do you know we all have souls, why do you know that there is most definitely an after life?><Expert testimony of those who have been there?>
((Those are just his side projects.))...If Perplexicon was just a side project, what does it need to be considered a full game?
It's also occurred to me that, especially if it were a Forum Games subforum rather than an RTD subforum, the main other contender would probably be those Magic Girls threads. So, quick thought exercise: Einsteinian Roulette and Rise of the Magic Girls are the only two inhabitants of their subforum. Is this a useful, sensible designation? What about if we add, say, The Warrens of Oric the Awesome and Deviation-22?Why only currently-active games? I think that stuff like YAFB and RtRtD would deserve to go there.
For that matter, we haven't really discussed the cutoff point that much. Somebody suggested 10k posts or 3 threads, somebody else said anything above 3k is rare... where exactly do we want to draw the line?Three threads sounds like a good number for that, but posts...well, is there somewhere we can see how many threads have Xk posts?
Richard just seems more inclined to snark at Kyle for arbitrary skepticism than serious.On the other hand, Richard isn't suggesting killing Kyle.
"Why?""That's the question."
"Oyster?" She says, closing her eyes.
Like what? Because reading the rules it seems to me that powers for that and powers in this match up.Thr biggest difference is who makes the powers. In WD, the powers, save some details, are made mainly by the other players and some dice rolls, with some input from the player who the power is being made for. This helps balance the powers.
Question:That sounds pretty...dull. And probably OP.
Do powers have to be active, or could they be passive? for example, could i have a power that lets every dice roll be made twice and the results added/higher result taken?
<Yes. I can see proof of those first two. Can't see shit saying those last three are real.><Can you prove that the gods weren't con artists of various sorts, or that you haven't been dosed with severe hallucinations?>
((...Kyle met Dumuzi did he not? Or Loki, who's daughter's an underworld god. The afterlife's a thing he should know about....((Part of why Will is frustrated at Kyle. This time.))
...and Cyrielle is POWERED by Fate.
"That's the question.""Pretend you can."Neferis still looks confused, "Then which would I pick?"
<If the afterlife and souls exist prove it. Show me pictures, take me there. And Cyrielle doesn't really prove anything about fate. She just says that it exists. Anima... doesn't really prove anything either.><And how would you know we hadn't just teleported you to some cave or something? And why can't you trust them more than you trust these possibly-Photoshopped photos?>
Kyle blinks at Neferis.
>Why the hell would I take you to the afterlife? I barely survived the first time! And I was a bit busy having my ass tortured by a Fury when I went down there, so no time for me to take piccies. Y'know, maybe the torturing was cutting into my sightseeing time.<<No one said you had to go with. Or bring him back.>
