For me Black coffee is a late night at the goth club type of thing. Usually I drink coffee with 3 creams and two sugars.

Heh. Those were only the so called websafe colors, designed to show right in the older monitors. There's quite a lot of more hex code shades actually

I used to drink with milk no sugar, but have migrated to black no sugar, but it has to be decent quality coffee, filter or espresso. I powered through the milky coffee and am now going to redeem myself with a decent cup of coffee.

::LAUGHS::

Websafe colors? What are those? You yeah... now I remember, it's what my webdesign teachers said you could throw out since "anyone whose monitor is limited by those colors is not in your target demographic (or if they are then they are not accessing the web from home), is a dying breed (since they haven't upgraded their technology), and/or lives in an region which can not get better internet access then dial-up (and as a result most likely does not have newer browser updates that can utilize a RGB code)."

I went to get a big cup of water. It should help me feel less hungry.
Indeed they are but that would be one of the big challenges remaining loyal to the faction and fanatical-ish about the ideals while still working with the group

The Mercykillers article from Dragon 370 could make for an interesting campaign backdrop.

Not easy when members of the group may oppose you. Someone is not playing their character right or the DM is too easy on you if it happens. IMO

I can drink it black but it has to be good coffee for that to happen. I try not to drink the stuff at all. I prefer tea, iced, of course.

They're the most group friendly factions, the factions who can get on well with other people, thats why i'd like to see a dustman or The Athar or even one of the Mercykillers

I'll let you guys in on a little secret. I'm going to church on Saturday evening. A friend is taking me to meet with a pastor at the church and we may stay for the service. I thought if nothing else I'd try something new.

Yeah, they are group friendly... but they still can be irritating when you play one as being a total sensation junky drama queen.*

*Ei. The type of sensate that would betray the group so she can see how it feels to be mistrusted by those who would risk their life for her.

*Too bad RGB isn't standardized yet.
But the Hex Code is RGB! Each pair of numbers represents a color (R, G or B)

#123456
#FF0000
#00FF00
#0000FF
#A00000
#A000A5
#50FF50
#5050FF
#010101

A Standard for RGB is sRGB: sRGB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Of course, to get the "true colors as intended", you need to set up a color profile for your monitor, probably requiring higher end equipment to test it.

Depends which of the subfactions you serve really,

Sodkillers:
Absolute Order

Sons of Mercy:
Justice Breeds Peace
“By ensuring justice is applied fairly and to all who live in the light of civilization, we all prosper.”

Mercykillers:
War against Chaos
“You know why they call us the Mercykillers? We kill mercy. When justice is soft and easy, there’s no deterrent to keep the people in line.”

The worse thing for a sensate to muse about (in the realm of a deity of knowledge/creation): "I wonder what it feels like to not have ever existed."

That comment came about by the diety snapping his fingers and saying "I just created the internet."
