It's more like I'm not allowed to forget. Usually, I need two things happening on a particular date to remember either.
Okay... so anybody have any desire to spend their hard-won XP? I figure there's a few of you that still haven't spent any... Just mail me if you do.

Kitana - Feb. 14th is the anniversary of what for you?
Catulle - how tipsy would Nikolai have gotten from sipping from the wine of the hobo?
I want to get a handle on how much it would be affecting him this scene (if at all).
I added a point of Stamina and Investigation with Nikolai's XP.
Stamina to make him more hale and hearty and healthy (right, Ash?) and Investigation cause that seems to be something he can add to the party.
The one thing about adding points is ; it makes you want MORE points SOOO bad.
(at least it does me)
Catulle - about the IC thread:
Is it OK to say that Nikolai has a silencer for the Mac-10?
What about the shotgun?
(just kidding)
Festy - CAN you have a silencer on a MAC-10 submachinegun? (I'm not IRL a gun guy AT ALL)
Nikolai used to be a Hunter, and I'm sure that a silencer would be standard issue for their line of work.
Also, his Hearing is better than his sight.

Hey!
I just thought of something to add to the Etiquette Guide - I'm running it by you guys, to get impressions.
When you quote someone else in your post, could you take an extra second to edit out what isn't directly applicable to your post?
It's the extra effort that saves extra reading by everyone, as well as keeping the thread clean, concise, and conserving screen space (and reducing scroll-bloat).
Also related, is a little trick that I learned:
When you quote, most people enter a couple lines after the (/QUOTE) tag to space it 'right' in their eyes.
However, the board automatically adds in plenty of space to seperate the quote from your post.
So by making the post look 'right' in the post editor, it makes it have a BIG space between the quote and your post.
Have you guys noticed these observations at all?
They're not important in the long run, of course, but something that caught my attention.

I don't really notice extra lines all that much, my poor eyes tend to glaze if I see too much text all at once. One thing that is very very hopeful at least for me with a quote is if you make sure to say who gave the qoute so we can hop on over just in case we want to read more from the post to get more context.

I agree about attributing quotes.
Of course, if it's just the previous poster, than it's less critical, as is quoting the entire message from the previous post.
Shalimar - do you mean mention the character in the quote, or the player?

Let's try to get all of those:-
The wino's blood isn't having a huge effect on Nikolai as of yet, the feeling would be more akin to exhaustion than anything else (and a good thing his Stamina's increased, too).
I'd be reluctant to allow a silencer for the gun (given their more 'difficult' legality) - maybe making some criminal contacts could help with this, though. I'd be of the opinion that hunter groups would downplay the 'heavy artillery' angle ("bullets don't hurt the undead!") in favour of more traditional banes that the plice find harder to trace (like, say, the sun).
I know about the hearing. There just wasn't much interesting going on audibly
And, for the record, I do try to minimise the quoteback. Mind you, I find myself editing myself a lot, too...

I Actually just meant in general no matter where on the boards you are it can get awfuly confusing. I would say in IC posts quotes should try to be minimized I think it can take away from the feel, though I know I am one of the most guilty of this, so I'll practice what I preach and stop doing it.

I'll be posting soon, I've also got 9 Xp to spend and I'll e-mail it to you soon.
I just wanted to post here to
A) actually have a post in this OOC thread *L*
and
B) say that Reapers idea is a good one, it's what I allready do (Usually). I don't like unnecesary spaces and words when I'm quoting, though I do so love to ramble when It's just me talking. hehe.
