But... Aren't we supposed to nominate two people? Am I nominated? Should I nominate two people? x(

Yes. You nominate two people, you fell into my trap.

I mean, Smeeg and Vex are the only ones that seem to be aware of this right now, so... You two, go.


... Soooo, how do we proceed? Who should nominate the next person? Honestly, I'd say to everyone to go ahead, check who already was nominated and, well, nominate two people themselves.

I nominate Avi and Kit. We already know a little bit about Avi and Taryn and Avi and Ian but nothing about her and Kit who seems to be the most hardcore into the Jedi thing and her the most anti-Jedi.

Oh, man... Okay. x)

So, to clarify how this is going to work, since Lux nominated myself and Vex are we now going to each, individually, come up with brief stories of times when Evelynn and Piodas got into shenanigans with Avi? Or are we going to work collaboratively to come up with a time where Piodas, Evelynn, AND Avi all got into trouble together? Or is it more I'll write about when Evelynn and Avi went on an adventure and then also when Evelynn and Piodas did stuff?

Am I overthinking things? Lol.

Hahaha, nah friend. Essentially, because I nominated you and Vex, effectively you and Vex are going to come up with a story involving both Piodas and Evelynn. Avi can be part of it I guess, or anyone else, but the story itself should be about Piodas's and Evelynn's relationship. More than that, both of you and Vex should nominate two other players each to do the same.

Edit: And after that, you should post the story in the Relationship thread. I think each player should do this twice and with different people I guess, so everyone can post. In this same example, maybe this story about Evelynn and Piodas will be posted by Vex. Smeeg is going to be eventually nominated again with another player and then she should post it herself. We should be careful to not nominate two people who haven't posted yet. After the first round, that is. Because if Cep nominated me and Details and Details submits the story, and I nominated Smeeg and Vex and Vex submits the story, if I am nominated with Smeeg then we both would still need to submit it.

Just waiting on Details 52 to get their character written up and then I'll get us all underway. It's great that some of you are taking the initiative and expanding on your character's relationships with the other players but I'm sure that we are all itching to get going.

Regardless, I will open the official game thread shortly, possibly tomorrow, when I find the time.

As a side thing, should our character sheets be set so everyone else can see them? Normally in a game I would think they should be kept private, but in this circumstance maybe they should be set public since we know each other so well? What do you guys think?

I'm down for private or public settings on the sheets. Honestly, I'll have to figure out how to do that since this is my first time doing a PbP but I don't expect that that'll be too hard of a thing.

I always have mine on public, its a personal choice.

Go to the characters page located at the top, and hit the book symbol to add that character to the library (the book will be highlighted red).

Well, in case you didn't notice, Vex put out the piece about Piodas and Evelynn. Guess that means it's our turns to nominate people, yeah? In that case I nominate ... Ian and Zafe.

Okay, a story involving Ian and Zafe is up. It's a collaborate between the two of us and I hope everyone enjoys!

Awesome, I dig it... Except to point out that training sabers don't have energy blades like normal sabers. They're more like energized sticks that shock when they hit something. Still, I'll allow it for coolness points (not that it's up to me, lol). Great work you two.

EDIT: Eh, I dunno. I always thought of training sabers more as electrified sticks, but I guess the actual descriptions in the book has them as true energy blades, just severely hampered versions which don't do lethal damage. So yeah, roll with it. Also, crap, now I gotta think up a saber color for Evelynn (or two).

Well, for training sabers I -think- they come in only the two basic flavors: lime and cool-blue-razz. But that's only because in Attack of the Clones they had that stupid Youngling class where the kids had exactly 6 inches of room to move apiece and their blades were all blue and green. Statistically -someone- in the group would have been given one with a different color if one was available.

Fair point. I try to forget that those movies exist most of the time and my mind was flashing to SWTOR and their "practice sabers" as a default. And another thing to consider is that I think that the saber is supposed to take on a color as the Force user attunes with the crystal. We likely wouldn't have done that with training sabers since it seems like the crystal is coupled with the training emitter (per RAW) which is what makes the blades into nonlethal versions.

Close.
Training sabers (per RAW) don't have crystals. Rather, the training emitter replaces the crystal, and the wording treats it exactly like a crystal. The specifics are on page 200 of the core book.

I don't think we already have our crystals.

Yeah, I just imagine, since the exact internal mechanics of a training emitter aren't spelled out anywhere that inside the device is a kyber crystal as it is what (traditionally) helps focus and shape the blade of a lightsaber, so it makes sense to me for one to be housed within the emitter. Most likely dampened in some way that, when coupled with an "ultra-low-output power generator" allows the blade to be produced but reduced significantly so that it only does nonlethal stun damage. That is, however, simply my opinion on the matter.

Hope the game will start soon!

By the way guys, as for the story for the Character Relationship thread, I've shot Details a PM but he hasn't responded to me yet. :/

That's too bad. I guess you could just kind of write something, if you wanted? I was hoping to learn a bit more about his character. Oh well.
