OOC: This is my placeholder. I apologize QFX I've been really really busy, sick, and a whole bunch of other things. I will try in the next few days to get something on here. I just want to let you know that I am not dead and gone just really really tied up in things...
So with boardgames. I've been on a more or less binge rounding out my game list pretty completely. Added Formula D and Cards Against Humanity along with A Touch of Evil. Now I'm on the fence about having to order a game like Fireteam O (off the kickstarter) or picking up that hefty copy of Cthulhu Wars. Both Look pretty cool. By chance has anyone also played Police Precinct.
Gear is visibly annoyed with the name construct. His etherium leg is unusual but its more biological than anything this world may hold. Gear: No foolish child I have not found anything. And so you know I wouldn't be so cross with that which you don't understand. I'm sure your simple mind could not fathom the dynamics which compose my very being let alone understand what I am. I am no construct nor machine child. Pausing for a moment Gear regains a bit of his level dry wit. Now have you finished rubbing your sticks together, your prayer to long dead myths and competing the final step of the cycle of death you set into motion?.
Gear turns his back on Gully as he says these things. The child will never understand. Perhaps after some experience she might.
Gear: Gully you make no sense to me. You state that you take no pleasure in putting away the crazed elf and yet you still did. There was no hesitation, no holding back just a raw focused attack meant to prove something. Gear shakes his head. And to make matters worse you then decide that you will seek the noble path and return this individuals body back to the earth. It is not noble, it is not completing the cycle, it is a sense of finality for an act which you committed and ended in what we find here. Gear sighs once more There are times when the emotions and deeds of others completely perplex me. Its no wonder I find more comfort with machines than anyone else. As for your last comment while you may not find that you deserve something that is your place to state to the farmer himself. We are not couriers. With that Gear moves away.
Gear then begins to look around the cave his vision adjusting to the now dimmer surroundings. Perhaps there is some indicator of what may have caused this whole ordeal. Still his sense of disapproval for the exact way this ended is palpable. While it makes sense to kill that which is crazed Gear saw no expressive effort to really change the way things were beyond the brutality of it all. Yes this life is a kill or be killed mentality but some things just are not that simple.
OOC: Just when I begin to lose hope you come through. TY Cyouni.
As Gear watches the battle unfold he can only look a bit amused. This battle is almost like a machine. Each piece falls into place in due time. This strange elf they are fighting seems not to have any reference to what what he is facing, while Gear's own companions are showing the power which they possess. Another obsidian gear forms near gears others. As they being to spin teeth binding into one another a small silver sphere begins to take form. It hums with a strange metallic sound which seems very calming for Gear. His chittering insects still at his side Gear watches for where this battle may go.
Ok so there is WPL's. Now comes the next important step do we have any actual movement here for quest related stuff. Because if i recall correctly QFX, Myself, and Cyouni (as quest leader) are locked in non-update mode given an inactive player (that player being SC). Any chance we see that and actual other quests put up for other players to get moving?
Ok So I messaged Nai and got QFX's reply. So as we stand here we are. Unless we have a new WPL stand up and want to run the game or one of the other two actually throws in their 2 cents and says they will keep the project running, the project has met its final end. However, I am not a WPL nor a mod so things could change and I could be wrong. Still I think that for what players are left you had best find alternatives.
Ok I'm PMing Nai about this. It's been what like almost 2 weeks since my post. Think this project is dead in the water. Also I'm not one to rain on anyones parade I'm just realistic. There were reasons why the project couldn't keep going the last few times. With the exception of Ti'rin and myself when we basically almost fully co-ran everything (minus i believe it was Giga and one other player) we've never run all that smoothly. To our new players don't be discouraged. I'll see if there really is an answer to all of this inactivity.
Ok I'm going to be honest here. Its becoming evident that the WPL's just don't have the time for this project (or perhaps just a few). While wonderful in concept this project is once again proving to be an exercise in futility. Schedules and life are understandable, but between having everyone designated as a WPL (outside myself) in one project and barely getting a post every 2 weeks from someone other than myself seems a bit excessive.
I don't need reasons (as an ex-WPL for this project I understand completely), just a statement that either we need real standards for posting or lets just not beat a dead horse and let this thing go its way. We would think by the xth (I don't really remember how many times this has been changed/rebooted) time we would have things in line with expectations that the projects requires actual maintenance beyond just wanting to play.
With that yet another blue cog takes forms and another copy of Gears construct takes form. Both chitter as they stand in front of their diminutive master.
Gear again simply continues his process of building his machines taking a moment to assemble a black gear to join with the blue cog. Both twist for a moment as one of his mechanical insects begins to form. At the very least he will not be fully without guard.

As the mist in Gears eyes momentarily fades a single blue cog forms. Gear notices the flash of his companions magic and more notably its speed. Perhaps one day that should serve as a problem but today is in no way that day.

OOC: I am definitely one of the slowest characters to get moving in the project with pretty much no non artifact spells :). Still doesn't mean I can't have my epic moments of unkillable creatures :).
My favorite card has been and always will be Serra Angel. From the first time that I opened her all those years ago to now nothing has remained as iconic as her. Also i've way to many copies of her than i really wish to count.

OOC: Poke Poke Is anyone Home? Been a bit since anyone has said anything about this.
Gears eyes mist over as the mechanics in his mind begin to take shape. If this is the cave one best be ready.
