"Shake the dust." - Anis Mojgani@Fancy: Shoot, man, there's clips on You Tube. You can do eet.
@The whole Random and Prom thing: Can we please proceed with these discussions civilly and not have the umpteen-gillionth shitstorm in here? Quite frankly, I am sick of things always going the route that they've been going, and I'm about ready to put my foot down here. Are we no longer allowed to air grievances without them turning into personal feelings-hurty stuff? People should be allowed to say their opinions without shit going all pear-shaped.

and then they fricked in the bootyWait, I apologize, I may be mixing people up.
I've just received many complaints from here about perceived godmodding, sue-ishness, and banal writing. If I confused you, Random, with someone else, I sincerely apologize, though I'm not sure if you'd accept it or not.
What does matter to me is that one or more people is/are not listening to the GM. If it was ME, if the GM was saying to me "please change your behavior, it's disrupting the RP" I would make myself change. I don't know if it's Random or Napkins doing this, but honestly, this is mostly an outsider's perspective looking inwards.
War is God.There is no GM.
We're a democracy.
And the main problem with an outsider perspective is that it's an outsider perspective.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Thanks.
Point two:
Actually, just in case any of you were confused, I'm going to copypasta this here so we can clear up any questions:
The "Suits" were a race that were nearly extinct. They were studying humans, who have individual identities, as opposed to their hivemind, figuring that this must be their secret to survival. In order to narrow down what made an individual an individual, they would change the city (a copy of Vegas, made by the Auditor) every night using their reality warping abilities, as well as a machine that amplified them, and implant different memories into the populace frequently, seeing what changed and what didn't with what were essentially different souls (brain patterns, but whatever). They had a special interest in Cloud, who had his own hivemind, and yet an identity separate from then, and the ability to intercept and interact with all those memories and maintain his sense of self, for the most part. Studying and experimenting on him was what helped them perfect the process, since their data is largely chemical, in contrast to our electronic machine-based tech, and on top of that, they needed a human-like mind that was still slimilar to their own, to learn how to bridge the gap. Cloud was perfect for this. Win-win. Except for Cloud, whose life is in a perpetual state of suck, but whatever.
They stop time and shift all the clones in the city and themselves to another plane of existence to do their thing. These were the times when the city was "empty", yet moved occasionally, and could be changed. Cloud himself was aware of this, but did not mention it for fear of the "don't think about pink elephants" effect. All it would take was one person panicking about their abilities to rip the whole place to bits by thinking about ripping the whole place to bits.
The un-timestopped phase was what the city was like normally, and what the party experienced until Cloud was awakened and unconsciously took them out of it.
The emergency phase was the third timeline, and the one swarming with Suits. It's so they can fix things in case someone gets out, like the party did.
Cloud was made into Dave when he got caught and implanted with fake (and ironically, happier) memories, bombarding him with the same injection repeatedly until he was ovewhelmed by the new information. They changed his eyes because that's all they could manage, and hid him in plain sight in the city.
The Doctor and Cloud were cloned due to, again, their unique minds. Cloud, so they'd have a backup in case the original, er, "broke" during testing, and the Doctor because he's basically the smartest thing ever, and a Time Lord. Cloning something with genes as complex as Cloud and the Doctor didn't quite work, though, especially when everyone in the city wasn't meant to live long, anyway. The Doctors died (hence their regeneration into Ten, and he didn't last long, either), and the Cloud they made wound up blind, and emotionally closed off due to being messed up in the brain (even moreso than the real Cloud).
The Auditor made them this city, and maintained all three timelines/planes in exchange for a few tests of his own.
So.
Point two:
- Due to the nature of the city in the second "stopped" timeplane, things would wind up manifesting just from worrying about them too much — including inner demons. This was going to be the Silent Hill-y portion I was so looking forward to... that unfortunately got excercised once, and cut immediately afterwards due to there being a giant clusterfuck full of people. Originally, everyone was going to get their own little mini-arc as the in-between city got more and more unstable, forcing them to answer questions about themselves, blah blah blah character development that you all found annoying when I did a test-run with Cloud because none of you were there for his arc and I had to have him start spelling things out. No way in hell am I giving twenty-two people their own mini-arc. So unfortunately, that was a good chunk of the plot gone right there, as the character development between the characters was meant to open up more information about the city as they saw it change. Plus, I thought it would've been fun...
What Jam said. He's apologizing to you, too.
Mistake or not, what he said was not an attack on your character as a person or an insult to your intelligence. It was a critique in good faith, and a critique about an internet game at that.

and then they fricked in the bootyI had a pretty similar theory towards what it was all about by the end of the plot, and this pretty much confirmed most of it.
And I didn't realise that bringing in the Doctor would cause hiccups, but at least now we get an even more emotionally screwed up Nine who watched himself die three or four times.
Yay.

True, I won't deny that.
