I apologize sincerely greatly immensely profusely, I prostrate myself in front of you and commit seppuku with a blunt blade while licking your boots clean for being such a bloody idiot and not posting something here to say I was going to be away those days of June. Now that I have probably humbled myself enough, I'll be here from now on, with at most a short absence some days of September as I move to Barcelona. I have a somewhat important question now, though, what to do with my character in the currently-developing scene? Has Elena been there all the time/would arrive now/I should wait for the next scene?

I'm in Nashua, NH. Or as we explain it to non-New Englanders, 'North Boston.' Lacking any tolerable beaches here, we have to go to OOB to cause trouble.

Well for me I'm probably the farthest away from everybody. I'm over in Iraq serving with the Army. I'm able to post pretty much everyday, but with the time difference it's usually late at night early morning when I do post.

Well, I'm in the Canary Islands, Spain, so my posting times can also get pretty funky.

Rules questions for the ST:

1) Does Bodymorphing into something that doesn't need to breath mean the character gains that without Adaptability?

2) Jack has Warp. Warp has that extra (name?) from the APG where environmental effects equal out. Could he try to pull a powermax and use that extra? I.e. put a gate in the middle of the fire and another in the ocean? How many succ would that take?

For that matter, from the map, how close are we to the ocean or any lake from here? Dare I hope for 0.5 km?

OK, different but related idea. Normal gate imbalances in pressure can't be used, but presumably it's possible to throw things through a gate.

So, if there are watermains around here, it should be possible to knock one over and open a gate next to one to channel the water through the gate, correct?

Paging Dr Zero, paging Dr. Zero, code blue, code blue in the Abberant game ...

Hey sorry, RL took over... back now

But before we continue on, who else is here with me? Roll Call Please

Jack, Im not sure... I want to say it makes sense but also it seems unbalanced. Ill go ahead and say yes but this is another instance where the system is unclear.

You dont know the area well enough to know any lakes immediately around. While you have looked at maps, your warp needs a bit more accuracy than that. Its not an oceanside city either.

So... yes you can max it if you can find a water source. Yes, water already moving can flow through no problem. FYI its also possible to open non-vertical gates... so you can open a horizontal gate and catch a waterfall. For the record, though, I am ruling that gates entrances and exits have to be on the same plane unless you max it to re-orient the other side.

I'm still here

still here

Still around!

Back from the wild beach party, with more or less the same number of brain cells.

RE: The Extra
The problem is extreme environments. Sand from the earth is pretty OK. Water from the ocean surface isn't broken but take it from the deep ocean and it comes through with enough force to rip through steel (Google "Water Lathe"). Vacuum results in a massive suction blowing people into space. A gate to the Sun results in the destruction of all life on the planet.

This is one extra I really wish they'd made Q6 min or even Q7+ min.

Understood.

Water hydrants are gravity fed, that sounds like the way to go.

Hey everyone, Ive been lax cuz I have a competition coming up (dance on the 17th-19th) and Ive been kind of crazy. I might continue to be crazy through the 19th but after that I will be a bit more focused.

Calling Darkmind and Halo... where are you two?

Also everyone else, I am back in gear. True my comp doesnt start till tomorrorw but Im done stressing. At this point its do or die.

OK so who is left active in the campaign?

Right now I think we're down to:

Myself
Android
Glowbe
Firedrake
Jake
X

Am I missing anybody else?

Dark mind hasn't shown up in a while, and there's also Halo who's unaccounted for.

Frusterating... ok we can make do, no problem... just keep up the momentum

Will do boss, I just wanted to make sure I knew who was around and who wasn't ... no point in trying to start a conversation with an absentee.

To ALL:

I'm currently on an extended trip, about 3 weeks, i won't be home till Sept 12th, so posting will be sporadic till then. I'll try to stay current.

later

Ok thats cool

Is Jake Jack?

Umm YEAH!

Probbably started as a typo and then changed further anyways yes I did mean JACK. hehehe

Lance Stryker, the infamous XWF powerhouse and current world champion.

Now there's an interesting canon change.

Heh oops... let me fix

I'll be away from computer/internet tomorrow through the weekend returning sometime Monday (out of state wedding)

Just an FYI that I will likely be delayed from posting.

Secretary General of the United States

I think you mean, United Nations.

Hey guys. I will be joining the game once I get a character submitted.

Fox

Oops, yes... haha

Hey guys,

Things seem really slow here, so I'm asking before I create a character... Who is actually still planning to play in the game? I had a great character concept, but it is kinda similar to one already posted and I obviously don't want to be a copycat. Also, I'd love to know who out of the original list of 8 characters is actually here?

Thanks guys.

Jack.

Jameson/Richter

This is really my fault for being so absent for so long... who else is around?

Hey Dr. Zero and all other Nprimers. I'm a recent registrar to the site, I was wondering if it was to late for this game, or if you would be looking for another?

No, I need people... interest seems to have died down due to my being spotty

Can I get a roll call?

Jameson/Richter

Me (character undetermined)

Ok, don't seem to be getting much response. So for the record, I remain interested in joining this (or pretty much anyother abby game).

If you get more players or if the current ones return, send me a PM and I'll send you a character and join in.

Is this game dead?
