Witches of the West

[Firewind]

Oh dang you're starting? crap Just when i was formulating a character, >.> Maybe I'll make him tonight and wait for your approval. I really was taking my time with this character. I want him to fit in the Western Genre.

[madscirat]

Have multiple settings up and available. Will have more by tonight. This is my first game on this site and I didn't realize the full extent of the places tab's epic awesomeness until fooling around with it today. Still a bit giddy. Oh you should also begin to notice prominent NPCs drifting into the character tab. Feel free to make the first post in any settings. Tell me in the ooc if you require a setting I did not post and I will consider making it.

Oh and again, due to players still working on characters try not to overdue posting until we get our fourth. I don't want the plot to take off without everyone aboard.

[Firewind]

Okay I finished making him after consideration. If I need to edit anything let me know.

[Firewind]

So when are we going to start?

[zolzol]

Added a spells , rituals and contract section too Jeckteths profile.

I only gave him three spells and three rituals as to leave room for one or two more additions as the game progresses.

The contract section is incase any of you want to buy Jeckteths services so you understand exacly how it is done and what the consequences are.

@zolzol Looks good except spirit abilities should be called powers or charms, to delineate them from the learned spells of humans.

@All Settings are up and I will start to post some scene openers. If you don't see an opening to insert your character then either be patient or make an opening (make the first post in a scene yourself).

[madscirat]

@all Good posts so far, everyone. Be mindful of what place your post is in though. Its easy to forget and I found in my last post that you can not edit it if you make a mistake. If you do forget like me then just make a note of it at the top of the post.

Also be mindful that NPCs do not speak for the GM. Just because Claire tells you not to cause trouble in her town does not mean I, as the GM, am saying this. Claire is just a character and players should always try to play as their character would act regardless. The only plot constriction I want to place on the players is to try not to leave Stillriver until the group is more or less formed. Writing separate posts for every player in a game is just too much for this mortal GM.

@zolzol His name is Lukas not Luka. Otherwise nice post.

[zolzol]

Ah , my bad. Fixy uppy power GOOOOOOO~ *themesong*

[zolzol]

Huh? *Opens link , falls over laughing*

Oh god XD Thats the themesong now? All I can see is our characters staring someone down tell a tumble weed rolls by...actually I think i'm going to have Jeckteth carry a tumbleweed around for just such occasions.

[madscirat]

@vivi For future reference we are starting in the Northern plains, a region analagous to present day North Dakota. Tumbleweeds are native to the southern deserts and dry steppes. If this is a flashback to when you were somewhere else then cool but always title flashbacks with something like 'Two days Ago' 'In the Distant Past' 'Four Score and Seven years Ago', etc..

Also I hope you are not forgetting that seeker bullets require a hair from the target and can't work on just anybody. If this is part of what you intend to explain later then all good.

@Angelika As far as I can tell there was actually no magic used in the scene. Only regular bullets were fired and witches need no magic to be crack shots. The closest thing to magic would be the spirit flitting about who is made of magic.

[ViviOrunitiaFF9]

I'll delete the tumble weed then. Yes, this is all going to be explained as we progress with the roleplay.

[madscirat]

@Firewind When posting in a scene with other players or central NPCs please give them a chance to react to anything you think they might react to.........such as a gunfight. By having them do nothing, you are effectively writing their character. In this case it is particularly grating because as you may recall witches are the peace keepers throughout all the west which could still be called 'wild'. As a result the fact that one would simply sit and drink her whiskey while a gun fight goes on behind her, is entirely out of character.

[Firewind]

Okay I'll edit it a tiny bit.

[madscirat]

Okay I'll edit it a tiny bit.

No need to edit, it's not that important. Just try to be more mindful in the future.

@Vivi I really appreciate the detail you've given to your treatment of your character's magic, but another gunfight, really? At this point that's like seeing a pile of cherries and putting a cherry on top.

@all Lets try to ease up on the gun-fights and actually have some character interactions that don't involve lead, or silver as the case may be. Finish the ongoing fight by all means but DO NOT make our western into some arena game where everyone is trying to out-bad-ass everyone else, please.

[Firewind]

No problema then. >.> I'll be careful no worries. Once I learn one mistake, I make certain it doesn't happen again.

[madscirat]

After careful deciphering of the last few posts in order to find out WTH is going on, I found that the number of gunmen introduced initially somehow jumped from two in vivi's first post to three in the latest one. If I am not mistaken somehow, go ahead and correct that error.

I hope those who started this chaos intend to finish it because having absolutely zero information about these gunmen prevents me from NPCing them.

.

[Fredalice]

Sorry I got sorta confused when the taller gunman went to the alley. To me that says there's about three of four. (starts listing off on fingers) The taller one, the little one, and one or two? in the alley helping the taller and shorter one.

@Vivi how many did you intend there to be?

[madscirat]

LOL now there are four. If I find what tree these gunmen are falling off of, I'm chopping it down.
