Evil Mastermind RPG Round 2 Discussion

Yeah, just in case someone needs to call someone out or something. Signups, RP.

Mind if i come in on a less... heroic note? Just heading to meet with a satellite NPC, really.

He does live in an apartment complex...

Just commenting, really. They'll meet up eventually, i'm sure.

Annnnnd Andrew is currently useless. How surprisingly unsurprising.

Introducing my characters one person at a time. Don't really feel like involving any of them in the current scene just yet.

In case you were wondering, the "... walk into a bar..." thing was literally the first thing that came to mind when Mr. 7 showed up.

The nicknames will go away in time, its just easier this way, and shows Drew's annoyance rising slightly.

Oh. Time setting: It's Fall 2013. Also, 8PM.

Yeesh, these things always seem to start up whilst I'm away... Uh, alright then, let's see what we can do...

I do so love when I can have one of my characters drop in dramatically.

BTW, here's hoping timezones don't screw with you again.

I have a nagging feeling Faceplant will be ignored alot unless he can improve his powers somehow...

I think we should stipulate that Faceplant's powers should basically always work, just to balance things out.

Fat chance of that, Starbound. Timezones bite the big one.

Something besides that... bugs me. Hasn't it already been shown Faceplants abilities could improve? Maybe it was just a misread, but he did pierce Motorocalypse's foot with a sharp stalagmite, as opposed to the square ones. I would think that would be an improvement, no?

I think Taco was imagining it as something pointy, rather than what it normally is, a little stub. Hence the error.

But wouldn't it be called out and edited if it was an error?

I'm not against allowing Faceplant to autohit, i'm just bringing up a valid question.

It wasn't an auto hit...

It was pointed out to Taco that Motorpocalypse failed to react to Andrew's stalagmite in one of his posts, so Taco edited said post to take it into account, having it pierce Motor's robotic foot. However, Andrew reacted with surprise because normally the stalagmites he summons aren't sharp.

Since it wasn't too major an error, I guess Evi I let it slide.

• No, i meant letting Faceplants attacks autohit from this point on.
• Exactly. You'd think that going from a square stalagmite to a sharp stalagmite would be an improvement. Despite it being an error that was let slide, it would show that there is a sign that his powers can grow. That's all i'm pointing out, that this error made it so.

Again, just bringing up a valid argument, but let's drop it here. I have no control over this, i can only speculate.

Yeah, Faceplant is far down on the power level range. However, he is still a kid who has just started to come to terms with his powers. I plan to develop both his character and his powers over the course of the roleplay. I don't mind him being weaker than the others right now though.

Technically, he's not weaker than the detective, who has no powers whatsoever.

Detective has a gun as well as much more experience.

For anyone who's played Fire Emblem and the Sacred Stones, think of Faceplant as a Ewan or Ross kind of character: weak at first but excels later on.

Taco, Freeze Ray's on the ground, unless you have multiples of them.

Well then I can change that quickly with an edit and simultaneously help advance characterization! Thanks for reminding me, duder.
