    Turing Point PbP (Closed Game)

    The man fumbles around with the briefcase for a moment. The case itself was once a fine piece of craftmanship. A thick leather cover over a body of some sort dull industrial composite material. Gold braces decorate the corners of the case, and the locks are gold plated, and the handle looks...

    Turing Point PbP (Closed Game)

    It's all the rage in the Corr, Europe and Asia. It's not like your normal simulation broadcast. Stims are truly immersive broadcasts, plug right into your brain. He taps a finger at the base of his skull, recalling images of data jacks you've all seen in vintage sci-fi. Make you feel what...

    Turing Point PbP (Closed Game)

    The man gives you a dull flat look, as if the money is nothing in the world. Keep the change. He turns back to his coffee, blowing on it for a moment before taking a sip. He sets the cup down and turns to Daniel leaning forward over the counter to look down at the young black man. Have you...

    How many people could you feed if...

    Well thanks for the quick response to such a mundane question guys. I totally understand how its a really tricky question with too many variables to really answer. So would you think it'd be within reason to say a rural area of roughly 40-50 sq. of excellent/highly productive farming land...

    What are some Good Old Fashioned hangover cures?

    As a college student whos done his fair share of boozing here's my favorite... Peanut butter and bacon on any kind of bread, and a Bloody Mary. I've never used it but I've got a friend who swears by it.

    How many people could you feed if...

    Here's a question thats been bugging me as I design a region in my homebrew world. How many people could you feed if you had roughly 40 sq. miles of fertile soil to farm. I'm looking for a rough guess maybe by the thousands, it doesn't have to be super specific. I have no real clue about...

    Turing Point PbP OoC Thread

    Yeah that about sums it up I think. I'd say its pretty easy for me to determine when a check of some sort is needed. Remember Darcy I'm sorta learning how to run this whole thing, so I'll be experimenting with different things. Rachel as for the bonuses you'll eventually have your whole...

    Turing Point PbP (Closed Game)

    For Riko:The stranger's face stays carefully neutral when you mention the arrest. His eyes do flicker down to his briefcase though. Whoever he is he's hard to read. The man frankly sizes Riko up in return. He turns in his seat towards her. If you've just been running the Net, I'd suggest...

    Just a little bit of background story for Riko Li. I'll post more on the other characters as I get the chance. Riko Li is a 20 year old mostly Chinese resident of the Stilts. Riko spent her high school years generally disinterested in formal education after realizing the real information...

    Turing Point PbP OoC Thread

    Ok guys I've rolled the first dice in the game. That seems like some sort of landmark to me. No worries though I haven't killed you yet and theres no craziness about to happen. These were both just skill checks that I made for you. I'm not letting you roll them for the sake of making it more...

    Turing Point PbP (Closed Game)

    After finishing his Lucky Strike in record time, the man leans forward and looks down the counter fixing Riko with a stare. He waves a dirty hand towards her. Perhaps beckoning her closer. I heard you talking about Joliette, tell me what's happening on the Net. Have you heard anything...

    Turing Point PbP (Closed Game)

    The newcomer looks almost surprised to see your acknowledgement. He gives a slight nod in return and returns to his cigarette. For Daniel only: It looks like your suspicions might be confirmed, this man looks to be carrying...there's a suspicious looking bulge at the back of his pants in the...

    BTW guys youre gonna have to bear with me. I'm a bit slow right now cause of drugs and my leg. I should pick up nicely in the next couple of days though.

    Turing Point PbP (Closed Game)

    As the morning wears on, the rest of the Stilts begins to stutter awake. A light breeze picks up coming off the water bringing the now familiar smell of refuse and river mud. You can hear the squeak of a noodle cart, and its tender calling out his morning dishes. As if on cue the ever present...

    Turing Point PbP OoC Thread

    The level of detail is just fine for me. But yeah you should use that med. turquoise for actions that do matter beyond just a descriptive role. Maybe once I start posting an NPC this will become more clear, right now its all knida vague.

    And here's the third installment of the timeline, should be about 1 or 2 more posts of a similar length and then I'll be done. :) The Wars of Religion or WWIII -By 2035 most of the Middle East is firmly under European, Asian or US control. The entire region serves largely as a vast oil...

    Turing Point PbP OoC Thread

    It seems to me much of the stuff written, is written mostly as pretty trivial description of a characters action. It's not like wolfing down a flapjack in 3 seconds is an action you'd really need to announce in a real game either. I'd still like to see you guys all use the med. turquoise for...

    Turing Point PbP OoC Thread

    Well Sushi it has to do with AI, just look up what a Turing Test is and you'll get an idea. Darcy you wouldn't have much of a clue that the girl got murdered. Not much more than she was killed and you know shes a really huge media superstar.

    Turing Point PbP OoC Thread

    And one more thing that Rachel just pointed out to me, mostly when I said I wanted first person I meant first person dialogue, for the rest of the stuff its up to you how you describe it. Personally, I think first person for everything is best but if you have a better time describing what your...

    Turing Point PbP OoC Thread

    Here's how its gonna pan out, go on and use the med. turquoise color for IC actions, and just keep the OOC stuff to the OOC thread. Sorry I realize that what I put up originally isn't all that clear. You can ask me questions in the game thread but just keep that to a minimum.
