JTTM: Beyond Beyond The Impossible (Discussion)

[fusionman]

OK so is Majora wearing his titular mask? Because I/Fuse am a huge Zelda fan and would reconginze the mask instantly.

[Falkon]

Assuming you're talking about the model, and assuming the model is based on Joe(if I remembered the name right)'s vision, the model would look something like This.

The actual Majora is currently masked as well, but instead of the malnourished body, his body is made entirely from tentacles weaving together to make a humanoid shape.

[fusionman]

So is Masjora the model? Because I want to have a moment of Knight Templar-ness.

[Psyga315]

Hm... I'm probably thinking of holding off on doing more of the finale (save for one subplot I planned out with another player) until Gotham is done.

[Flanker]

Righty-o.

As for me, I'm still kind of stuck due to the Roy situation. Argh.

[biomechtraveler]

I'M BACK!

[Laserface]

A late welcome back then, Bio.

In other news, dare I ask why Vita's listed as 0 posts and a no show on being able to click their name for a profile link? Is it safe to assume it's just a side effect of having to update for the new forum?

[Rain]

Um, basically, she overreacted and this doesn't associate new accounts with old accounts of the same name any more. XD

[EldritchMermaid]

Memo to self: Don't write long posts because it never goes well.

[Psyga315]

I apologize for this, seeing as I'm supposed to be the GM and all knowing and all that jazz, but...

What's the situation of Gotham so far?

[fusionman]

OK seriously I need some interaction. It's just me and Laser and Laser rarely posts. Can somebody talk to me? Please?

[Psyga315]

I'll try and do something when I make the next post. A shame that the RPG is getting so spread apart right now. I may need to axe the Gotham Arc altogether just to bring the characters closer together, because right now, there's three-to-five groupings at best:

• The People in Gotham City
  
• The People confronting Masjora
  
• The People in the Ha'tak
  
• The People on Lilim
  
• and The People on Zearth

I know I mentioned this before, but I sort of want to finish up Gotham's arc before we move onto the final arc of the story so that way everyone can be in one place for the final battle. Or at least two places considering what I'm planning. But ultimately it's gonna be one place for the grande finale battle.

[Rain]

I'm trying to work out how to get April somewhere that she's NOT standing around looking like an idiot. XD

[EldritchMermaid]

I think since I may or may not be the only one there right now Zearth can probably be back-burnered for the moment.

It's been crazy couple weeks, but for the most part I post more frequently that you do ;p Though I'm hardly the only one who went silent until just the other day.

In other news, robot paint is now permanently unlocked for every robot instead of single use per single robot in MWO.



You need at least three different shades of pink to be the prettiest Mechwarrior.

The most fabulous Mechwarrior is you.

It's the truth.

...Out of curiousity, what mech is that? Admittedly I'm only familiar with the Templar, Atlas, Loki, and Timberwolf, but I figured I might as well ask!

Also since Flanker will probably only wake up around the time we get to Lilim, expect a dream sequence when that happens. *toot*

[Laserface]

I got my Atlas in MWO (three out of four of them available). The devs are pretending to follow a timeline, so Clan stuff hasn't shown up yet for example. The damage paper doll for the Timer Wolf occasionally glitches into visibility during gameplay, so they are working on them. Main snag will be BALANCE. Since Tabletop "Clan Tech is Just Better. Inner Sphere wins by cheating and numbers" doesn't exactly work in an 8 vs 8 (soon to allow 12 vs 12) battle.

As for the mech pictured, Cataphract-4X. I set mine up as a generic Dual Gauss Rifle sniper (6 tons of ammo = 60 rounds) with an Extended Range Large Laser.

The capped off nub in the right torso is where a ballistic mount is on every other cataphract model in game, the other models always have a Chest ballistic, and two energy hardpoints on those shoulder nubs (high enough that they can shoot over hills instead of into them like an idiot), while the arms vary. 1X, three total Energy points in the arms. 2X, one energy, 2 missile points in arms. 1D, one energy, one ballistic. Pay Real Money Ilya, Ballistic arms and no nerfed engine cap (Popular build is to cram three Ultra Autocannon 5 in, and cheat with scripts to shoot it as fast as possible without jamming. Weaklings ).

The 2X is my very favorite style wise, arm aimed rockets fired out of your fist.  So of course it's the one I'm the worst at using.

They recently implemented a "Cadet Bonus", which gets you an extra 8 million C-Bills across your first 25 matches (first bonus is like, 400k, then its a smaller bonus each match).  So you can rig up a fully pimped out Hunchback-4SP Medium for 3/4 that and get out of the suicide machine Trial Mechs that much faster.

Oh lord, Trial mechs are bad.  How bad?  7 out of 8 people on a team self destructing from a single medium laser bad. And one ton of ammo. In your chest.



Setting up your Custom Atlas is still very satisfying though (The D-DC, already regarded as generally the best one, can also install freakin ECM). After one last tweak to distance myself away from a suggested build slightly, I finally broke 1,000 damage. Two Large Lasers, Gauss Rifle with 3 tons of ammo (30 shots), Two SRM6 with 3 tons of ammo (25 full salvos), and a Streak2 close range homing missile with 1 ton (50 shots). That last one just to mess with lights who think I can't hit them.

[fusionman]

You said Atlas and giant robots and my mind went to Mass Effect...I have issues.

[Mahou Moerin]

Speaking of Mass Effect and giant robots... Note: in my mind this is the canon ending. >.> <.<

Anyways, uh... Hopefully my next post should move Moerin et all back to the rest of the group, so explanations, exposition and all that good stuff can take place before they all jet off to save the world. So... Yay~!

[fusionman]

Are you also a Shepard/Garrus shipper or is the robot looking like Garrus just a coinkydink?

[Mahou Moerin]

I have no idea what that means since I haven't actually played Mass Effect. Well, I played the first one a bit but I kind lost interest quickly. All I know is that the ending of ME3 is godawful and having Shepard riding around in a Tengen Toppa machine to fix it would be awesome.

[EldritchMermaid]

I think it may be intentional given how the image is tagged.

[fusionman]

I would totally watch an ending where Shepard rides in a giant robot and punches the Starchild in the face. A lot.

[Laserface]

Is snow supposed to be 6 feet tall? Ugh. I've been spoiled by the past several winters of "Inch thick solid ice". Sure, it's more dangerous. But there's a lot less to shovel in that case.

[Laserface]

So I finally took a peek at more than just my bookmarks of the JTTM RP and Discussion. Does the Reboot of this very game mean Season Two isn't a thing, and I should work out something for the Reboot when it comes to keeping with the JTTM gig?

Had optimistically assumed that since nothing about reboot/season two being canceled hasn't been brought up in this thread this month, wasn't something to think about.

EDIT: vvv Yeah, I get what you mean. I've seen plenty of "Bored now, variation of this game!" branch outs in the past. Mostly I'm just wanting to make sure I'm in one game with semi-consistent posting (self included, but I'm back to meeting the average set by everyone else! ;P).

[Mahou Moerin]

No, S2 is still going to be a thing. This is just a kind of side-thing, if that makes sense.

[Psyga315]

You know Rebuild of Evangelion? More specifically 2.0? It's gonna be like that. A very different take on the events of Journey Through The Multiverse, but retains some plot elements from the first RPG.

[Rain]

Basically, what it'd be like starting with the people here now. XD

[Psyga315]

And yeah, 2.0. Not 1.0 where everything is the same, and not 3.0 where it's all "Grimderpherp, nothing is the same any moar!". 2.0 where new characters are introduced, events are vastly different, and willpower can probably cause the end of the world way earlier than expected.

[Laserface]

Welp, it's been just shy of a Month since anybody has posted anything regarding, well, anything here. Should I give up on this for now and work out something for the Reboot thread just for something to do then?
