Copy got ICE'd, it's over

Aw man this isn't Copy
You got me excited, OP. Why did you make this thread, anyway?

I was trying to remember how the previous thread ended so this is nice
"hopefully be back on sunday"
sunday came and went a few times since then, there was also a mention of waiting until snow has cleared up, which it has by this point in my own area which was hit by the same snowstorm as his area so...
yeah dude vanished, fuck.

Oh man I've been looking out for this. I hope Copy didn't get got by those indians that trashed his car

Copy, if you see this, an "I'm still around" would be great to see. You don't need to say when the next update will be or anything.

Copy if you see this I am writing a fanfic about Amuro yelling "fin funnels ikimasu" and then blowing a load onto Haman's face.

Do we try boosting rep with Fa? I feel like at -5/5 she'd try to kill us off for the sake of others or something virtuously deranged like that. She already crossed the line with shanking a protestor so this seems like a plausible risk to me.

>>23754178
>Do we try boosting rep with Fa?
I feel like -5 probably triggers her leaving our party permanently, nothing more severe than that.
Ace stacking is nice even if they aren't top tier pilots so I'd like to keep her around, but I don't think we need to go massively out of our way to give her what she wants. Whatever she even wants, that is. Even now that she likes Jerid, she still doesn't like us doing what Jerid wants. Maybe she just wants us to be super cautious, but it's really not the time for that now so many big players are making their moves and leaving opportunities to be exploited.

>>23754033
Please don't open an early thread unless X is gone for more two weeks in the future. I don't want to pressure him to come back prematurely, especially in this snowstorm.
>>23754178
I'd use Fa as the SAN meter.

-5 means we've gone full Iron Mask, full Bask or became more delusional than Jerid. We should be shanked at -5.

>>23754178

Fa is the most “woman moment” character of this run outside of Reccoa. Her rationality and motives don’t make a whole lot of sense and likely are contradictory to what she is saying. Kamille did smack her for shit talking Leila and Four but now that she is getting closer to Leila she might start distancing herself from Jerid to look after her. Or she could be a woman and be jealous over not getting cock from her two men when the Cyber brain damaged girl got some rough backing with Kamille.

Had a dream that Bask tried to vaporize our crew.

We can try to smooth over things with her when we can.

>>23754187
People are just worried about his health/status. During the Amuro run he went to the doctor and they found an unusual amount of lead in him or something like that.

>>23754265
I get it, I get wellness checks. I just don't want him pressured to come back if he's feeling bad.

I appreciate the concern. The work related debacle took a rather severe toll on my health that forced me to take quite a bit of sick time to recuperate. This isn't my first time dealing with extreme cold, but my coworkers and I were not prepared for the HVAC systems in the warehouse we were delivering at to break down while we were there. Being effectively trapped in a building with freezing moisture constantly breaching through your clothes and seeping into your skin is a hellish torment I really would not wish on anyone. I made out a little better than some of the others, but i've mostly been resting and bolstering my immune system back up. Despite mostly being trapped in my home, I don't trust myself to modify the game or write context for anything until I know my body won't cause any issues. (Screwing up a single line of code in the memory viewer can degrade the entire game rapidly) Could be days, could even be a couple of weeks until I am feeling back to normal. Since I have had some spare time, I did read back on some of the earlier runs and did notice a lot more of the unhinged stuff being around periods of bodily sickness. I do have something big planned, and I want to make sure things stay on those rails until I can pop it. I'd rather not wake up one morning and find out I wrote a whole chapter on politicians being Blood Eagle'd rather than keeping the proper narrative flowing.

TL;DR-I am alive and mostly well, but I need some more time to recover until we can continue again.

>>23754351
sounds good to me.

>>23754351
Holy shit Copy X take as much time as you need to rest and recuperate. What matters above all is you feeling well and your own health.

Really sorry to hear you and your coworkers were trapped in a freezing building. Get well soon.

>>23754351
Glad to see you're still around Copy. Take all the time you need to get better, just keep us posted

>>23732761

>>23754351
Get well soon.

>>23754351
Damn I couldn't ever work with the memory viewer that way, you go so far and above for this game.

>>23754351
Get a lawyer and cite OISHA violations. Squeeze a settlement out of this.

>>23754178
not really, no. we shouldn't go out of our way to piss her off though.

>>23755990
I'd be funny THOUGH
And given that anything that enables Jerid's stupidity is an automatic -1 it might be inevitable, hope she chills out

Hello again everyone. I am hoping to get back into the groove of things next weekend, but I thought i'd drop some assets from the unfortunately and likely indefinitely delayed /m/sv run. At the very least I wanted their artist's work to get seen. At some point I may write up a synopsis for the last sections of what the rest of the /m/sv content would have had the possibility of going into, along with the last part of the [BRIGHT] arc.

>>23760308
>is it because of the votes?
Nah, It's more of that run is the prime example of what happens when shoddy death roll rules finally kick in at full display and wipe the majority of the roster out, thus the need for wildly cringe OC's to appear to make the game remotely playable and interesting again, on top of several point of view changes and set ups that never really went anywhere, just kinda too much that ended up going on trying to revive a world that's reaching the end of it's population.
I wouldn't be shocked if the reason we have a 3 live system for Kamille here is purely to avoid what turned into the /msv/ run but that could also just be me projecting and bitching about how common it was for characters to fall, this run has a pretty good balance of death and living.

>>23760645
most people deaths was due to poor votes rather than purely game mechanics the kenneth route was a example of that

>>23760647
That's not wrong but speaking of Kenneth that's another example of way too many point of views going on at once just to keep a dying run going, making it hard to get invested or care long term.
If anything if the consequence for bad decision making is a longer, drawn out, more boring experience with tons of "alright let's introduce our NEW characters" then I'd consider that far worse than just a flat out game over.
Do you even remember who was our original view point character? because I don't honestly, it's been years and I can't recall who the fuck is even alive beyond Glemy and Scirroco.

>>23760654
>Do you even remember who was our original view point character?
Bright, can't really forget about that

>>23760645

The thing with OC’s and CX is that he seems to do sort of alright when it is someone else’s idea first. Most of his adaptations of the /m/sv characters were in line with how they were briefly described. The main problem comes from 100% CX ideas. Whatever he was planning with the loli from the Oshun run broke off from the rails rather fast. CX has always had good writing results when he is welded to the narrative train track and has to write from that. Guy definitely has a thing for misery porn though. If he can find a way to write in a societal break down and moral decay from civilization he’ll do it. Given that we have the Senate being murdered over the UC Epstein files it is only a matter of time until we get another one of those narratives.

>>23760660
to be fair, everytime that has happened we almost always played into that.
we were TOLD to not BRIGHT too much for example but people did it anyways, can't blame the GM if the players keep going for it.

>>23760657
[BRIGHT] and /msv/ aren't different runs?
holy fuck i honestly forgot about that, I can't even imagine having to keep track of everything for something as long form as that.
Like I've actually made up stories like this to other groups for RP purposes and giving them questions to fulfill to influence gameplay actions but I know I wouldn't be able to handle it, thus I would completely understand someone else putting off this.

>>23760661
Also this, if anything I'm amazed at how much restraint and balance we're showing in the Kamille run, a perfect blend of hot headed youth and boy genius, but yeah like my general thought is the BRIGHT/MSV run lasted too long, had too many characters to focus on to the point where in my mind, both these runs were different things, and because I doubt my own ability to DM this, it's unreasonable for me to demand another to do it, thus why I'm fine with it being shelved.

>>23760666
yes, the keneneth stuff from what I remember is pretty much exactly what happened afterwards when we lost Bright to BRIGHT, sorta like a new era type deal.

Kenneth's part was honestly pretty comfy, with the ple stuff and the noname grunts giving a homey feel.

Just that in his biggest battle people forgot that we were stuck with a fucking white base class ship and decided to let it tank

>>23760673
so in your words, when we lost control of Kenny, that's when the entire run started to spiral out of control? I can buy that because it checks out with the several different character introductions and point of view swaps.

>>23760676
from what I can remember all the stuff that happened afterwards was somewhat interludes to set up the last part, pretty much like how we had a UC Gquuux sidestory in the Ramba Ral run we technically are still doing. But I think CX realized how much he set up and probably wasn't sure where to take part 3.

For what it's worth I did like the stuff on the earth base with the /msv/ people, some stuff like the whole amuro thing wasn't ideal though

>>23760681
fucking rapemuro
speaking of, when was the last time we had a good amuro?

This runs Amuro started out seeming like a more moral and rational man than Char but the fuckup in California turned him into an obsessive psycho over Jamitov. Releasing that info on the Senate is only getting countless innocents killed but has not done much to the Titans proper. Not to mention Lila saw something real depraved in him in her last living moments.

I will defend Zeek Amuro. I love him and I for one cannot wait for Amuro's Counterattack: Haman's Children.

>>23760691
He hasn't done anything evil (yet) in the Ral run though the timeskip could go anywhere with him and the fact he has Proto-Zero as a minion.
The last Titans run we had he was basically our moral compass with several moments of Jamitov going "Am I out of touch? I need to check with my most sane ally Amuro."
And if we go even further back to one of the runs Copy did in the delays of [BRIGHT] that's got a hanging to be continued on the Quess fucks up UC where basically everyone who's a Newtype has the moral high ground because Garma the leader of Zeon was so fucked by his interaction with the Jagd Doga's Newtype that he decided anyone who ever wakes as a Newtype must be purged/thrown into the EXAM Newtype soul thresher.
The Amuro's a bit of a failure trend has been a very recent one ever since his entire faction's AI broke in the "Grey" AEUG one and he suicided his final boss mech by taking it into the ocean where it could swim and drowning.

>>23760695
Yeah Amuro was kinda cool except for being a zeek asset this run
Then AEUG started losing too hard, too fast and he got desperate. Everything since has been catastrophic, including his "contribution" to the actual California battle that basically started this phase of the story where Kamille is a big shot within the Titans but still more or less loyal to Jamitov

I believe this happened when the vote counts are hidden away from us. It did reduced vote rigging in a way and now if only we have that during [BRIGHT] run, things might be for better or for worse.
>but yeah like my general thought is the BRIGHT/MSV run lasted too long, had too many characters to focus on to the point where in my mind, both these runs were different things, and because I doubt my own ability to DM this, it's unreasonable for me to demand another to do it,
I do prefer we try different approach once a while, for an example, playing as a minor faction leaders like Elran, Bask, M'Quve or Wyatt, just not Jamaican because that will be unforgiving to play as.
At least, that run is not total irreparable mess yet like indecisive Revil and we did get a lot of kino.
Just most of /m/SV OC are hard to keep track as we only have an incomplete booru.
>, thus why I'm fine with it being shelved.
While I am the opposite.
With that said, I don't mind Copy X taking his time and doing as he please while I wait for BRIGHT saga and maybe another /m/SV.

>>23762874
AoZ is honestly OK if you only take in consideration the stuff that shows up in the FoT novel.
