I'm probably going to drop out then. I've got a fair bit going on anyway, and it's great to read regardless.

Well, considering i have learnt the words for Black Hole, i may aswell decide to bring some dudes with me. KC!
I mean, i dont care about diying, but when three people attack me at same time, i may decide hmmm... Not to die alone :P

Reasons people want to kill me: Im a free soul... Pretty much.

Hmm, I've actually wanted to get a list of what all the words mean, just without their corresponding word (a list of all materials, shapes, targeting things, special effects and tattoo locations) as I've wanted to start a Perplexicon derivative here at uni with some friends in the style of the old arena days.

I actually thought about coding some sort of Perplexicon-helper system for me and my friends, but I'm not sure just how best to go about it, just a method of tracking all of the players, their inventories, a way to "easily"(subjective) import a turn, wordlist/runelist auto translate (for the GM obviously) and auto/easy rolling system. Even better an output PW can easily just add the creative flair and kickassery we have come to treasure.

Truth be told, it may also be a bit out of range of my abilities. I tend to aim a little out of my reach.
@PW: If you don't mind it being written in Python, I should be able to at least make a fast-translator.

Hmm, I may have found a fun project.

((The main issue is the use of word combinations, somethings PW said indicate that he has to figure out what some word combinations do which is why thoughts influence spells: PW may use the caster's thoughts as a basis for the effects. Hardly surprising considering that it is pretty much impossible to devise an effect for every single word combination or combination pattern.))

Well, you can do an list of characters with their status, and then have a dice program that automatically does all the dices based on a selected action and stats.
But i guess that would also be hard to do...

@Empiricist: While that is good, I don't think finding posts isn't the biggest problem for piecewise. I think it's actually quoting them. I was thinking more of something like this, so that piecewise gets all the posts ready, and just has to copypaste posts together if there are any hidden combat actions. Assuming there are also statuses in each player's action (added either by the players themselves or by the person collecting these posts), this should remove about half an hour or more of simply finding posts and stats and copying actions.
Note: The posts are in the wrong order since piecewise processes post in the order they were posted except for combat between players.

Now that I'm actually figuring out what to cast, I don't really know what to do with my massive pool... :P

[b]Walk outside the temple and say words.  All of them.  Wear the results. EDIT: Also test the properties of my new body.  Do I still need to breath?  Do I tire?  Is my flesh more resilient than normal?  Do I bleed? Ect.    Then go grab the light crossbow from Empiricist, and finally wander down the cliff path away from the temple.[/b]

[S]Empiricist, is there any decent weapon you'd like tested/would just give away?  Could I have it?  My first stat point will be going into dex, so I'll have a +1 to dex rolls shortly.[/s]

[b]Piecewise[/b], What does otherflesh look like?  I've pretty much been imagining it as Synthflesh.

It was Vakothu, but he died, so you're out now. Too bad. I really wanted to see what that thing was going to do. You think it was the Other or just a gatekeeper?

[b]Disregard my PM. Go to Sarzael and cast Zorhalth at him. Repeatedly. After the battle, make my way to the barman and get a soul container and then go to the sea path. Keep casting Zorhalth along the way so as to farm god favor.[/b]

Jarvis can recognize the glaive as Blastelian make, somehow. He's guessing due to his knuckles/boots and being pledged to him. Either way, he gives a confident smile. THE HUNT IS ON!

[glow=orange,2,300]"Ally Aldit, glad to see you're well, and good timing!

[b]Seeing the small man wishing to say some words outside the anti-magic field, he moves so and allows him to. Whatever the result of Aldit's words, the man will nod.[/b] [glow=orange,2,300]"I thank you for your words, staunch ally. BUT NOW I MUST TURN THIS PUNY EXCUSE FOR A MAN INTO MUSH! YOUR TREACHERY IS AT AN END!" [/glow][b]Jarvis shouted as he charged the man who had assaulted Aldit, going for a kicking frenzy from the looks of it.[/b]
[/quote][/spoiler]

[spoiler=OOC STUFF][Didn't know we had this, thought the anti-magic zone was only the building and you guys were just walking in and out of it to do stuff.

Also, I'm guessing Derm is [s]either going to get out of the soon-to-be fight in the courtyard or going to try to kill people. Silly people, always hiding your offensive actions. Why not shout it at the top of your proverbial lungs? Much more fun that way I've found.[/s] doing science, something I didn't foresee for some reason. Silly me, SCIENCE trumps all.

If that doesn't work, then we can either cut NPC spawning and only have bosses around (I was going to say go back to the arena but I like exploring the world, plus there are things like remote god altars that would be hard to do in the arena) if NPCs take a lot of his time. Or cut the number of players. (in this post there are about 25 players, so something like 18 or 15?)

@Sarzael: You're lucky my current action allows you to retaliate. My original action had me detonate a superweapon, but then I saw there were people I liked in the courtyard and decided against it.

@Sarzael: You're lucky my current action allows you to retaliate. My original action had me detonate a superweapon, but then I saw there were people I liked in the courtyard and decided against it.

Well, i dont really care, as if i dont die i will suicide to make new char.
This was more of a test char.

@Empiricist: While that is good, I don't think finding posts isn't the biggest problem for piecewise. I think it's actually quoting them. I was thinking more of something like this, so that piecewise gets all the posts ready, and just has to copypaste posts together if there are any hidden combat actions. Assuming there are also statuses in each player's action (added either by the players themselves or by the person collecting these posts), this should remove about half an hour or more of simply finding posts and stats and copying actions.
Note: The posts are in the wrong order since piecewise processes post in the order they were posted except for combat between players.

[S]Empiricist, is there any decent weapon you'd like tested/would just give away?  Could I have it?  My first stat point will be going into dex, so I'll have a +1 to dex rolls shortly.[/s]

If that doesn't work, then we can either cut NPC spawning and only have bosses around (I was going to say go back to the arena but I like exploring the world, plus there are things like remote god altars that would be hard to do in the arena) if NPCs take a lot of his time. Or cut the number of players. (in this post there are about 25 players, so something like 18 or 15?)

@Sarzael: You're lucky my current action allows you to retaliate. My original action had me detonate a superweapon, but then I saw there were people I liked in the courtyard and decided against it.
((That sounds like a good idea, and if PW still struggles, we can just get rid of the quoting altogether since although it is rather convenient, it carries far less importance than the game itself.))

I would help but given my track record with games nowhere near this size I'll be more help as a player.

What if we cut out random encounters entirely and set all NPCs to a single location? This plus the in-post location and status.
