Weird Western Tales Discussion

Just like it says. Go talk.

Lucky's interest has been shown, if only enough for the boy to live. (I'll need time to remember names.)

I'll edit in the deal process now, uno momento.

EDIT: Alright, so here's how it goes:

• Lucky must first find someone who would be willing to make the deal. This is almost always accomplished by sniffing out someone angry or just potentialy receptive. There are also rare times, if his reputation precedes him, that people will approach him.

• Lucky makes it simple: He wins, he gets what he wants, he loses, the other person gets what they want.

• The deciding factor is his revolver. He literally fills a certain amount of chambers with Hellfire rounds and plays russian roulette with himself to decide. (I'll be using something to randomly generate an outcome if its a deal with a player or relevant NPC.)

• If its a blank, he wins. If its hellfire, you lose. The key factors here are that it has a seven round magazine, not a six round, and the other person won't know he'll live either way due to him being immune to hellfire.

• EDIT EDIT: Lucky decides how many rounds go to him or to the other person. He cannot, however, make it so that he has a high chance of winning. The max rounds that can go in his favor are 4. The max rounds that can go in the other persons favor are 6. In a standard game, the 7th round is given to whomever he wants to give it to, which doesn't necessarily mean whose favor he wants the odds to go in.

GREETINGS, MINIONS!!!

Hello all, now, I am thinking about how to make my character's entrance...

"FEAR MY POWER, THE POWER OF ILLUSIONS. OOOOOOH"-gets whacked by a Scorpion who doesn't care that he looks like a threat-

you do realize he has other talents than illusion, right?

Wait, is group A supposed to only be the characters who were in the town to begin with?

Yes Group B will start in another place.

Just so I make it clear, as I didn't mention it before, I have no tolerance for God Moding. If your character's are not bleeding or injured every now and then, we will have words.

You don't need to make your characters near-death in every battle, but if your character is not being hurt in any way I will take action. Non-action people are exempt from this a bit, since they probably can't reattach an arm. Just use your own common sense.

Ok, so who exactly are in the two groups?

Indeed... I haven't spoken on the issue so I guess I'm on Team B?

Right so group a is sorted. Group B starts in my next post in the RP, the set up.

So Group B is at the train station basically? About to board to go to Little Frontier, or... what?

Also, Big Daddy, did you want Chick Rivers to start with your government character nearby? Or... what?

Hey hey hey, we have Group A, about five people. Why are more people posting in the town? Group B and everyone after HAS to start at the train station. 7 people travelling is just not doable in my opinion. I explained it in my last post.

We're splitting the characters because we have too many. So, someone, please edit your post and sort this out. 7 characters together? No.

EDIT: Never mind. Nro'ra I can't spell her name yet sorry. Can you start in the station?

It would be a bit uncharacteristic of Nra'no, but yes, I'll work on plugging him in the station. This is gonna be a doosey.

Thanks.

I'm getting mixed messages here. Am I choosing the location I start in, but somehow end up with the rest of the group? Or am I in the same area as the first poster?

Group A started in Little Frontier, the town I created as the starting point. Now that we have enough, I created -another- starting point a few hours from Little Frontier (The name has some meaning, you know). Group B starts in the station.

I'll think of something for group C, if we get that many people.

I'm probably going to have a little trouble. I've put myself into quite a few rp's, so I'm having an issue keeping up. If you do have a group C, put me in there. Otherwise, I'll have to pull out.

I never understand when people say that. If you're in 10 different R Ps, that's nothing backbreaking. Twenty R Ps, maybe, but that's still doable. Why do people complain even though 1. What did they expect and 2. R Ping is easy.

Also, I may just pull out and have NP Cs, control enemies, control bosses ,and so on rather than having a character.

That's probably a good idea; I was thinking about saying something about that, that maybe you shouldn't have a character, and should leave the RP'ing to the players. Although, where does that leave Angel Six?

He'll be the Sixth Ranger sometimes, coming in to save the day, be badass, and then leaving. Maybe even being Mr. Exposition. Not all the time, but you know, hope spot. Once this battle is over, he'll be able to fly out of the desert now (The vultures were the only danger, although there are other birds in the world that can cause danger).

Perdition is the villain so I'll still be playing him. In short, Angel Six may become Chaotic Neutral or Lawful Neutral.

Oh, and this boss is called Big Buzzard. We'll try sticking to this alliteration later.

Massive Mouse, Behemothan Beetle, and so on (I might not use these bosses, just an example).

Sounds good.

For reasons i cannot quite pinpoint, i object to this.

And what about the giant scorpion that swatted Angel Six down? As i recall, this was the original reason Angel Six appeared in the first place.

EDIT: Not the original reason, but it's still there, and still a threat.

You know... thinking about it more, I object to that to. See, saving the day just whenever, further takes the RP'ing away from the players. I'm not saying that you should never have him show up, but the players should be the ones to take care of the problems and situations they get in, not some Deus ex Machina.

edited 25th Sep '11 8:47:24 AM by kkhohoho

Obviously not all the time. The Power Rangers didn't always need the sixth ranger, but he still helped sometimes.

Can you guys stop taking everything I say literally and then assuming the worst? Trust me, OK, and calm down. Give me the benefit of the doubt sometimes.

@Infinite Paragon Why do you care, exactly? In any case, read the first post of the RP again and see what happens.

He gets knocked down by the vultures -then- the scorpion. I don't want people skimming posts.
