GINNNNNNNNNNNRAAIIIIIIIII~!
Dracos
Unproductive bitching? Schweet!
Drac, your pizza sucks and your couch is uncomfortable. Also, you are a whore.
Bitch, my pizza is the god's own pizza! Fuck off!
Dracos
Hey, if the gods had had good pizza, they wouldn't have been forced to come up with ambrosia and manna.
What do you think they put ON their pizza?
Duh.
Next thing, you'll go on like mayo, tuna, and corn pizza (with tomato sauce) isn't any good, either.
Bitches want chinese? I'll give 'em chinese! O_O
Dracos
o/' I . . . like chinese! o/'

QuoteBjorn grunts softly, and then turns back to his computer and bends all his information sifting skills (normally reserved for discovering the best wavelet-decomposition model of cochlear response properties) to finding out whatever he can about yesterday's escaped mental patient -- a name, where he escaped from, anything.
For some reason, I kept reading that as, "Instead of looking for porn, I look for 'escaped mental patient' on google, and click 'I feel lucky'."
I'm not quite sure why....

Porn would probably be more relevant. >.<
Bjorn, did you get an email from Ceran?
Dracos
No. I did, however, get a phone call, right before Jessica knocked on my door.
Hum...anyone know what Ceran means in latin?
Dracos
Ceran is a common Turkish surname that means "gazelle," apparently. It's also the name of an international school for language.
As far as I can tell, it's not Latin itself, but "cera" is "wax; a waxen writing tablet , wax seal, or waxen image".
I have discovered a new form of Ginrai:
The stick doll.
^^
Dracos
God, so much information just wasted -_-
Dracos
Okay, wait a sec. I didn't understand Dracos last plan (with getting the stuff, and rolling down windows, and whatever). Someone want to clear that up?
Oh, and Dracos: I know you're impatient, but please don't jump ahead and do a bunch of things that involve all of us without making sure we're all okay with it, first. If I understand what you were doing in that post, I didn't (and don't want to) sign off on that plan.
He was letting someone steal his car, complete with tracking device.
Ohhh. Now I get it.
*smacks Dracos with the Hammer of Unclear Referents.*
Sorry Bjorn. I got slightly rushed from...
*glances at rez*
Random snipings.
Anyhow, yeah, it's my car anyway! I can let people steal it.
Whatever the plan is we can decide later. I was just getting us moving out of town, which seemed to be the general consensus.
Anyhow, next time....when we have this sort of 'planning' environment, let's fucking wait till we can discuss it calmly and reasonably over IRC or something. Me and rez work as we're jabbering over aim during it, but not with three or more.
Dracos
Might not be a bad idea, but in this case, the only problem was that I thought you were doing more than we'd all agreed on. Spend a little more time on description, and I promise to be less uppity and snotty. ;)
Sorry if I was abrupt above. Today's been crappy.
Fair enough. Promise not to try and get rapidfire postings off while standing in line for a resume critique again ^_^;
And damn if I don't understand how that goes. Sometimes I envy the deaf.
Dracos
Tonight I'm hoping we can communicate over aim with nabiki being down. I know half the party already has aim accounts, so if the others can get there that'd be grand. If not well....eeeh.
Any other ideas?
Dracos
For the record, Ginrai, should you come back before the Benevolent Hand Of the GM With Regards To Wandering PCs guides you back to Ripon, the only car you can rent without a credit check or the like is a beat up late '90s minivan. It's maroon, but comes with a full tank of gas.
They accept your card without question, and the trip is (in fact) quite boring, though you don't get back to the house in Ripon until about 2:30 AM. Then, it's off to whichever bed was not first claimed by someone else.
Or chatting if people still aren't sleeping.
Gin:
Not that I want to discourage your posting, but next time it's good to let someone who just got something to react first. That way he gets the most freedom for roleplaying his reaction.
I notice your post doesn't necessarily rule out or rule in knowing what's in paul's pocket, but still, better to let him go first with those sorts of things in my opinion.
EDIT:
Huitz, as you may guess, I am waiting for you to post first before doing anything else.
Dracos
There isn't enough bitching going on. Bitches.
And Gin is about to pass Rez up in kills.
Rez, do you realize the hazing you will be subjected to if this happens?
^_^
Dracos
Sword Chucks ho.
Dracos
http://www.pishoque.net/soulriders/map-of-stormwall-area.gif
Yeah, we sort of need this don't we? ^^
Dracos
Productivity is too high.
Damn the productivity.
Dracos
I *hate* not having methods of chat at uni.
>_<
It is a pain, yes.
But little yapping dogs are meant to speak much and be listened to little.
Java + aim site = portable aim.
So, what're we doing with the other board? It just begs to be used!
We'll see.
Sorry, been slow. I'll get back to it tonight hopefully.
Dracos
GEWRWER
Do we awaken?
Dracos
I hope so. Anyone seen Rez?
I haven't even been able to reach him by email >_<
Dracos
Oh, crap!
*lives*
Sorry, back on AIM as soon as I work out why my jabber server is being screwy!
-that took twenty whole seconds. <_<
DEATH~! Now that we all seem to be alive, and I've managed to throw off the fuge....
Do we live?
Oh. Wait. I said Death.
Do we care about continuity? I'm sure it's not actually coincidence if we all revive.... ;)
I care about the GAME STARTING UP AGAIN =D
Dracos
Ba-Boop.
Dracos
I just wanted to pop into here to wish all of you good luck with another round of TdaT. <_< It's fun to watch and to hear gossip about!
WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE
IT WAS ALWAYS BURNING SINCE THE WORLD'S BEEN TURNING
WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE
NO WE DIDN'T LIGHT BUT WE'RE TRYING TO FIGHT IT
YOU.
That's why I suddenly started hearing that song a few days ago despite having not listened to it for ages before.
Brian, no more giving Bjorn intercontinental mind communication thingees.
Dracos
Okay, it appears to me that the pink one has enacted a plan to steal a posting march on the rest of us.
Worse, it has worked. He is a three post ahead.
This cannot stand. Clearly, Rat, we must post fast enough to crash the forum tonight.
My estimates say we need roughly eight thousand posts before midnight to do that. I believe we are up to the task.
Now get posting!
Dracos
I believe this was meant for the thread, "Largely Productive Bitching".
HUSH!
Dracos
I can't yammer at Bjorn since he's not logging onto gtalk =p
Dracos
Gtalk restricted at work
Man, we've gotten stalled... you guys want to try getting together, I dunno, this weekend or something for a posting rush? Just to get things going again? I remember my actions, but I'm having a bit of trouble posting and getting into things at the moment. Rat and Hal still around?
Dracos
who can post and become the world poke machine if need be :P
I should be available to post this weekend. This week at work has been very busy, so my apologies for that. If we can swing it, maybe a short IRC session to get over this "catch up everyone" stage and get people interested again? We could probably manage that with just the players.
Hit me up sometime when I'm online, and there shall be a posting spree!
Man, the last set of posts leave me totally baffled. I can't make heads or tails of what sounds like a rapidfire set of "I don't know, what would you want to know?' questions from three separate quarters directed at the group and/or/from holmes. Just tried to figure out a post in it, but I'm more than a bit lost there. I suspect brian is waiting on us getting our ducks in order and proceeding from his response to holmes, but rat's seems to push that back at him...
@_@
Dracos
Here, ready to post, but waiting for confusion to end first.
Posits that muddle should be a banned spell.
Okay, I lied a bit. It's been a bad month, and no signs of getting better. I will try and check to post on a regular basis, but a posting spree is a bit unlikely.
Having said that, to be a bit of an asshole: what spare time I do have I am not inclined to spend on summarizing this game again. My understanding is that we need to make available to all the knowledge on how to use the Gates to travel between the worlds without getting changed; this is equivalent to breaking the Church. Why I think this is pretty much laid out in the wiki, and beyond that people can just read my threads, and we can take it as given that my character is going to recite all that to all of you.
I forget if I know it IC. I think I do.
If what I just said is terribly bad, smack me or something, but it totally streamlines. :p
Agreeing with Bjorn: The wiki makes up for all my gafes.
I use it, too.
Brian, things going alright?
Dracos
Tryin' to get the postin' grooving
Honestly, I'm having a bit of trouble with SR's new format. I'll catch on.
ah. Okay... but let me know what's bugging you on it. As I've said, one of my goals was to try and make the transition as painless as possible.
--------
Randomness of sleepy.
The church knows how to safely move between realms.
The sparks do not.
Rez and Tom were both working for the sparks and got across. More there was mention of others.
This is another sleepy dracs musings. not even finished.
Just not used to seeing the 'new' tags where they are. But I'm getting there.
Ah, *nods*
Hey bjorn, just a curiousity...
But do you think you could talk the spirits of the gates into 'resting' for a day? :) Just wondering, since most of the superpowers in this world seem to be gate based...and if we could nullify that temporarily, it may make for a nice ace later.
Bah. Bah. BAH.
Rez? Rat? Bjorn? ;_;
Raaatboooooooot?
I guess I need to book tickets to England.
Summon..Flying Man.
This game needs some....
Oh man.
That's pretty harsh.
That's up in the face.
But it WAS beautifully said.
I'll post.
Sorry, I've been spending . . . very little time at home the last week and a bit, and at work I'm a bit in and out. :)
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!
I think I'm going to use all the free time that running tDaT used to give me to learn Maya.
So I can make planet-sized billboards that say, "POOOOOOOOOOOOST?" on them.
Game is not canceled.
Just waiting.
ò_ó
Ahem.
TDAT WAITS FOR NO MAN NOR TIME!
It moves suddenly, deliberately at its own pace. It does not consider the interests of petty humans. When the world ended, it continued in its own dream.
NO SPOILERS!
TDAT seems to have managed to go 3 days without a post.
CLearly this is a CRIME AGAINST OUR FELLOW MEN.
Need I rush off to my death? :)
*jabs*
...can others post...a bit? :(
Deja vu~! (http://www.soulriders.org/forum/index.php?topic=773.msg1009078#msg1009078)
Though, I will accept a Halpost, just want to make sure you guys are still, uh ... there. ._.
GDC is done with. Next weeks I be crunching kinda.
That said, I'd like to get back in on this whole TDAT thing. I know, sounds silly given my last post is only 4 days ago...but, how I would like to get back into it?
I'd like us to get some chat going again. I'd like us to seriously try to have a bit of chatfacetime every so often. To talk about the game and build our momentum back up with it. To even, potentially, acknowledge who is and isn't still playing and just get moving :). We don't talk about the game anymore and I think we're hardly going to keep it being involving and exciting for all if we don't. Yeah, nosey player and all that, but we've been doing this 'random post with no wiki, no chat, no talking' for months and it hardly seems to be working.
Yes, I know, most of us are overbusy workers at this point, so I don't think we'll get back to mountains of posts, but let's get a channel for being people to each other again and stop pretending that just posting on this board is doing so. :) If we can't easily get together in irc chat (I bet we could if we tried), then let's start up an email thread or something! Let's revive TDaT being a game we're playing and sharing ideas about, rather than something we're yanking out of Brian while he waits for australia post!
Let's get on the same page. Hell, I'll gladly do it today. I'm going to poke all of you and be a nosey bastard. :) Warning that massive hellos are happening.
shit, that was intended as productive bitching.
Man, I got to start off on the wrong feet! Two left foot posting dance technique!
You post more, I post more....
Though, catastrophic computer day. I'm running Vista now. :|
Bjorn! I command you, arise!
. . . do you have my updated character sheet? When we were recosting the gauntlet and stuffs?

I
think I do. I'll check when I get home.
I am awake, aware, reading. I'm not posting at the moment because I don't really have any questions at the moment; this is not helped by the fact that I am moving houses tomorrow so I am a little preoccupied.
Safe travels, TREMBLING DOOM.
I think the character sheets on the TDAT website are up to date.
http://pishoque.net/tdat/ ?
Nope. It's stil got my framework cost at 6, and there's no power for the warbag!
Meeeh.
We still use character sheets?
I operate by the power of the divine gates.
Well, from memory, it was something along the lines of:
- Doubling the strength power, bring that power up to thirty active points, which allowed the framework cost to come up to like fifteen points or something, which in turn dropped the overall cost of the framework enough to slot in an extradimensional pocket power.
And then I think I spent CP.
>.>
back.
Good boy. Now make a smartass remark so we can get back to work. :D

Welcome back, Bjorn :)
Sorry, been down a bit.
