Ambiguously Gendered Revenge of "What is the Hivemind?"

[Jdvn1]

Just a little battle between Jdvn and me from one or two threads back.

... It started with a crossbow bolt?

I don't remember everything that happened. It was an experimental time of my life. I just remember a lot of interesting spells... and that I maybe have won the battle, but I'm waaay behind in the war.

 

[Knight Otu]

It's the jerks with the crossbows; you tell me.

... Wait, should I check on the kobolds... ?!

Well, I never got your AC. Then again, I never got my attack bonus either. Let's just say the bolt hovers in front of you permanently.
...
Or orbits you! Ioun Bolt!

About the kobolds, nothing to worry yet. That said, interrogation should get easier now, and be resolved in a few posts. That boring part should be over soon, thus.

Ended, actually. The spells came second. First was a threat of attack after a failed formatting, you used the (voted-off) Dodge feat, I hinted my attack might not use an attack roll, magical defenses were raised... then I shot the crossbow bolt.

Or something like that.

Oooh, right. I remember now. In that case, I choose to not give an AC at all and have the Ioun Bolt. I'll hang a match off of it and call it my lighting bolt.

Yeah, a few of the characters are totally lost there, mine included. I totally wasn't expecting anyone to stop the battle in an attempt to talk, though. Interesting idea, but I want my xp. I can see why extended dialogues aren't a huge part of PbP games, though.

But your equation assumes that Y does not change from one party to another.

Thus the part about "inviting all the same people".

I also know a lot of people who are very poorly adjusted to real life, but are masters of their own little world of math. I would rather be Kemrain than they (assuming Kemrain is more well-adjusted, of course, and I could be wrong again).

I know of people poorly adjusted to real life, but I doubt they're good with math.... :\

Oh the formatting. Maybe if you had installed a Trojan on me first, the formatting might have worked. Unless I pulled the plug beforehand.

I need a prereq to the higher level Dodge feats now, though!

Heh, you should see our negotiations in Heirs to the Burning Throne. We spent like a week deciding what to do amongst the party, then when we did it, almost half the party members got upset. At least when we decided to have my character Diplomacy the NPC with the like +53 she had at level 10, the actual negotiations with the NPC basically went like this:

Me: Says stuff

NPC: Whatever you say.

Well, the point was just that math does not denote how good a person is. Intelligence is overrated, I think. I'll take a kindness to intelligence any day.

Hey! Take your fight to your own thread!
