[IRC Event Series] - No Stats Theatre - planning/interest

[Ghostman]

Probably won't be able to join that day before 5:00 p.m. GMT.

[Steerpike]

That's Greenwich Mean Time, right?  So five hours ahead of Eastern Time in US/Canada?

5PM GMT, 12 PM ET, 9 AM PST... hmm.  How would 2 PM ET work for people?  That'd be 11 AM PST and 7 PM GMT.

[Nomadic]

Won't work for me, too early.

[Steerpike]

Hmm this is getting complicated.  Would another day be better for you, Ghostman?  The Friday or the Sunday?  Could you make either of those, Nomadic?

[Ghostman]

Either friday 26th or Sunday 28th should work for me, though Sunday would be preferable.

[Nomadic]

Friday the 26th before 8:30pm EST (I have Aikido at 9pm EST) would be ideal for me. I could come on Sunday around 5pm EST but if it lasted more than an hour or two I would have to leave in the middle of the game.

[Steerpike]

Judging from how long the previous games have lasted I expect the game to run about 3 hours or so.

How about the other players?  Polycarp!? The Meanest Guest?

[TheMeanestGuest]

At the moment I *think* I'm good for just about any time on the Friday or Sunday, the Saturday I have things to do most of the day.

Hi. If I find time to pop in, I could be either of the two new proposed characters, or the other one that I suggested in an earlier thread:
[ic=Leo]Lemure "Leo"
Apolitical, with a weathered, world-weary, and cynical attitude. Leo the Lemure could be described as emo, or the Eyeore of the demons. He once rode with Moloch on the waves of Hell's first battles. Then he gazed into the abyss and foresaw that the struggle would never be won-- his side was flawed and they could never dare stand against or reconcile with the Authority.

Leo became absorbed with hedonistic nihilism, and abandoned battles, slinking into the sewers of France for a hundred years. When he emerged, he was seen in Colombia, in slaughterhouse work, beating the life from calves and sucking blood from their sinews. Years later, he migrated to America and became a janitor at a State University. And therein he has dwelled, pushing his mop about.

If pressed, Leo might express some fondness for Moloch due to his past association, but he's more Belial in character- the war is over, there is no way to win- it's best to coexist. He thinks Mammon is foolish at best and dangerously insane at worst and generally preaches a far too-involved creed. Followers of Beezlebub depress him since frankly his political alignment should probably be Beezlebubian due to his close co-existence with humanity... but like objects repel as Leo despises what he has become. Although he has been too lazy to tempt, neither does he much respect the humans at his side-- he takes many chances to criticize the Beezlebubians' "going native" as he calls it and ensures that others remember his once mighty deeds in the service of Moloch during the Fallen War.

A fat man, round and short. Leo slides around slowly, coughing and smoking alternately.

When alone, he dines on doritos, cheetos, greasy hamburgers, and all matter of disgusting, slimy creepy crawlies, from snails to worms, to jellyfish, and centipedes. His preferred method of cleaning messes in bathrooms is absorbing the watery substances, and draining the toilets of the muck-- becoming one with the waste.

Powers
Slime slicks behind Leo at will as he compresses the world's atoms into muck. And unless consumed or destroyed, already existing molds and slimes pulse and grow in his presence regardless of his will.

Leo can eat almost anything.

Most human beings find it impossible to be in the same room as Leo for very long. He has terrible relationships with any human being-- who become overcome with disgust for his presence. Few can speak with him without feeling revulsion and hardly listening to any words he has to say.

In his true form, Leo can squeeze himself into a sticky slime that can slip under or through any passage-- and can be immune to permanent harm from most damages other than flame. (Replicates his Melts power).

Stench (Overcome mortals with uncontrollable nausea) (1 Energy Point)

Melts (Shrink, reshape, flexible self) (1 Energy Point)

Flames (Flaming liquid and any-color smoke comes out of any chosen orifice of any target.) (2 Energy Points)

[/ic]

[Steerpike]

Looks good.  The slime/ichor ability could be at will.  Additionally a stench ability might work - a lesser (one Energy point) power that temporarily incapacitates mortals with nausea...

[LD]

Thanks. Revised and expanded Leo greatly above.

...Liking your new title.

And, with a nod to Nomadic, http://www.neillcameron.com/A_to_Z/B.html

[Ghostman]

Although I don't want to actually call dibs on any character before the date & time is fixed (so I'll know for sure if I can be there), Nyx seems the most intriguing option to me.

BTW, nice job on that slime demon LD.

[Polycarp]

I would be happy to join in and reply Samael (or anyone else, really).  Saturday 27th doesn't work for me, but Friday or Sunday might (I'd prefer Sunday, as I'll probably be exhausted on Friday).

[Steerpike]

It seems to come down to Friday or Sunday, with most people preferring Sunday, though Nomadic could only make it for a couple of hours that day.

Hate to drag out the planning process longer - though I suppose we have plenty of time in the interim to plan - but how would the next weekend (April 2-4) work for people?  Same deal?

It might be a bit cheeky to play a game where the players are demons on Easter, though...

[Ninja D!]

I had planned to spend the day playing Left4Dead, and that could be considered downright offensive.

How does this work, exactly? I'm not sure I understand.
