Congrats to RageRed for her character, Tajuri's, flawless one-shot critical hit to quickly end the first match. I'll have to come up with a reward, as she's already at max Inspiration atm.
Ohh yeah I considered that! As well as its purpose. My thinking is that that there are no prizes with assesments only with competition. and competition creates tiers. Amateur, pro...favored, not favored etc. The addition of a prize changed the context and what led Keltos to point out the design flaw
Basil says:
"What you have done, knowingly or unknowingly is create a dynamic that encourages individual rivalry through reward. Your assessment was flawed at best and manipulative at its worse."
Congratulations to everyone! All active PCs are now 12th level with the conclusion of the Assessment Matches. Go ahead and level up and any training needed will be assumed in the next phase: Mentoring.
Everyone, please indicate in your Private OOC, what you wish your PC to be doing in this free time so that I may set up scenes for anything particular you want to be doing.
Apologies to everyone. The site being down until the evening yesterday has thrown my rhythm off. I will get new posts up tomorrow, as I've not enough time before work now.
Same! I had a fair chunk of time available to catch up yesterday that overlapped with the outage. Glad it got up again pretty quick, but definitely threw me off.
Hi, all.
Let me again apologize for disappearing. Some people enjoy depression; I'm not one of them. I'm in a much better place right now, and I'd love to rejoin you all if you'll have me.
There are people who enjoy depression? Humans get weirder every day for me. As a sufferer of depression as a tag along with bpd, I can't even comprehend how it could be enjoyable.
Bipolar Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder? I've got depression with a side order of Borderline... but I'm doing better. I hope you will, too. :)
Borderline, with a side of depression and anxiety. I've done some pretty good therapy with CBT, and it has helped me work on handling my problems a lot. People say 'coping strategies' like it is easy sometimes, but they are good ones. Even a year out of the program (that took a year of weekly sessions), I'm still learning to use it all. But it does help, and I'm getting better at it. I'm very glad you're doing better!
I wish you both good and better health, and same to anyone that has similar burdens but wish to stay quiet on it. I'm incredibly thankful to have you all here gaming with me :)
As a wage slave to the Evil Brown Empire my posting will be slowed down, as I am sure everyone is beginning to notice, until X-mas has arrived. I will do my best to keep things moving and try diligently to get our next Episode up by Turkeyfest.
