Yep, that's the problem with the subject of the Ruinous Powers. If you know any more than 'they're really really bad' the authorities will want to know how you got that information and more importantly, just how far knowing the slightest fragment of this sanity-blasting knowledge has eroded your mind.

And even those in charge sometimes don't know much more than "there's four of them".

Loss of sanity will not, I think, be much of an issue in this case. Unless she takes Angry, Slutty, Filthy and Crafty as roommates.

Gloomy is already Angry and Crafty, and she's got a filthy mouth already. It's just Slutty she does not have.

Anyway Chabal expect Tira to send some random joe to get Wolfric ranting about the chaos gods so her raven can overhear it and rely "useful" info back to her

Filthy means physically. Which, given that she's from Renaissance Europe, she already counts as.

^^ Ranting... Best way to do that would be to get him talking to them (or get in an argument with Kage). Can she fake a ritual? As for slutty, her style of dress already qualifies her.

^ Yeah, but they didn't make deliberate efforts to worsen their hygiene or catch every disease known to man and sheep. Although you hear stories...

[up] I mean, her current get-up is okay. Even if they show more, it's not like she flaunts it or comes onto someone (other than with a lethal purpose).

Hi, everyone. So, I was really excited when I read that a new AGOG season was starting up, but then I got distracted and missed signing up at the beginning of the game. Would I be wrong in assuming that the window for signups will open up again after this challenge, or what?

Also, a shame that Infinities died before it's story could finish. It's not so unusual for a Forum Roleplay, but I tend to think of AGOG as relatively high quality compared to other R Ps. Like, what in the world happened to Sayaka between Infinities and Terminus? Did the confrontation with Omega never happen (or went down unexpectedly) so she (and maybe some other challengers) is now cursed with wandering the multiverse forever? Aargh, I love reading stuff like fanfic crossovers and forum R Ps, but maybe I shouldn't be taking these things so damn seriously.

You can always leave a signup, actual introduction of the character depends on when/whether the GM can fit it in.

Welp, I have now read Harry Potter And The Cursed Child.

... So while I find it strange that Harry joins the cast of Avatar The Last Airbender in the "badass kid, bad parent" club, the implications of someone kissing his aunt while disguised as his uncle are left lampshaded and forgotten, the can of worms that is Time Travel is handled as gracefully as I could expect, the Character Derailment is softened by the kowledge that it isn't real, but the most jarring letdown is the lack of narrative snark. Two high points, however: the Trolley Witch (now that I would have liked to see/read in a proper format), and in the big play, the same actor plays Snape, Vernon and Voldemort.

As promised, now that the first Key has been obtained in Terminus' World of Two Swords Challenge, Sign-Ups have been reopened. I apologize for the delay. I will start reviewing the sign-ups that have been submitted immediately, so that they can be introduced upon the Climbers' return to the Tower.

Egh, sorry for my recent absence. School ate up all my time. Then Pokemon Moon did the same. I guess 19 days isn't that long, but Nemesis and Renaissance seem to have been progressing fast enough that I've gotten way behind.

Speaking of, did I miss anything important in Renaissance or Nemesis? I've been skimming through what I was gone for, and it doesn't look like it, but I could've missed something..

Oh, I've been waiting for this. When Kashira finds out about just what Gaige and the other people outside the city did, she is liable to go ballistic.

@Rhyme: I would answer your question, but I have a hard enough time keeping track of what's going on right now. In brief, the Villains won the first Nemesis challenge and Jan got a ghoul minion, and the Rennaissance people got their space van back and are on their way to the next adventure.

That is, if she finds out. Keep in mind everyone invloved in that fight save for Gaige herself and Toph vanished, so it's not like there are many living witnesses left to say anything.

Also if Nman is still going through with his own plans, then the team won't be sticking around in the place very much longer (Kashra will still have someone to go ballistic on however tongue)

Oh, fine, ruin my fun. tongue But your point is taken. Rest assured, I won't metagame anything. There's plenty of time for me to display the character's temper later.

Attention, duelists! I mean Terminus-players!

We're all set to welcome some new players in Terminus, so I was thinking of doing some cleaning up in the character list. I've gone back the last month and registered that the following characters have been posted for:

The Kid - Alleydodger
Claw - Fergard Stratoavis
Theron - desdendelle
Gaige - Meanken
Reimu - Lemurian
Toph - Chabal 2
D.Va - nman
Sabrina - Game Guru GG
Kashira - Red Cedar
KOS-MOS - darksidevoid

If your character is not on the list, but you still want them to be listed as an active character, either let me know here, in a PM or on Skype or post for them in the roleplaying thread. smile All characters that aren't accounted for in the next week will be moved to a "dropped characters" list in the Sign-Ups OP, and can be reclaimed at a later point.
