Why not give the challenge to the players: "Over the next two weeks, arrange, backstory, or RP through things such that you have X Y and Z as shared topics/goals/problems. Then come to me."

@Wizz Try Hendricks! As a martini, it tastes like alcoholic Squirt soda.

I'd rather see allowing a ghost to ride with you (and your geist) in order to help them figure out what they need to do to pass on, with the attendant draw to go all vengeful or otherwise off the path to going to the final end. That way its not everyone's schtick, every time.

As they say, corporations are people. People without souls, so what do you expect? It's not like you won't need those same things in 6 months and they will be back in business.

Fuck, make a WORLD setting where 19 year old genius CEO surgeons are the norm. Then everyone can be special, and any concept that rules or setting are linked to our reality will be blissfully euthanized.

I'd make mine one where people consume talent and life force from others to stay young and ever more brilliant. Dammit, I just related talent to time and effort again. Scrap that idea.

The answer is big picture thinking. Walmart has already done it, and it knows the effect it will have. The people who fall for Walmart, haven't done the work, don't have people to pay to do the work, so they, like most everyone, save a few dollars, and turn around and pay for it in community health costs and loss of local businesses. It is the perfect soulless machine.

Squid pro crow is always valid.

And if you fucking sit down 10 yards upwind from me, and don't realize that you still stink from that distance, you're the nuisance. Nice of you to address the added topic of RANGE, instead of sticking to who got where first.

Code me a +set-note. That if present people will see under the Desc. Have its basic form be a guide. "Action scene in progress? Altered description/situation? Set-IC-time different from +time? Set-IC-weather different from +weather? "

Give it an 4 hour timer and an easy +clear.

Sort of like +lastpose, but requires responsibility. And code. And more responsibility.

I like to think of it as being attached to Ward Cleaver/ Hugh Beaumont or Steven Douglas/Fred MacMurray.

@Sunny Okay.

Like what?

He's pining for the fjords.

OMG its (American) super heroes! Character growth and themes are explored by punching things.

Get on with it!

Sheesh.

Blandwashed.

Make "losing" interesting.

Make it rewarding.

Make it an expected part of all stories.

@Meg si suoegartuo, and that's good enough for me.

Only if there was good writing going on.

Also, it may become a check list, and an invitation to have even the preparation identified and stopped by the heroes.

Oh yeah, for the procrastinators on the forum, the best "advice" is "Just get started." No pressure to get done, just do that first thing.

@Sunny said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:
People are stupid.

As they say in the psychology biz:

"You know how stupid the average person is? Half the population is dumber than that."

@Admiral said in RL Anger:

I will take a stance -against- cancer.

I have a newfound respect and feelings of camaraderie and friendship towards you. Whoever you are.
