whats up tohunga

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 6:57:24 PM)
hey man. alright, i've been meaning to have a chat with you for a while to sorta get a feeling for you as a potential member of the team

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 6:57:46 PM)
what can you tell me about your current thoughts of what you hope to do to help out with mage?

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 6:57:55 PM)
*laughs and falls over* okay.. you had me scared this was gonna be a "your getting desanctioned " chat

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 6:58:37 PM)
I do have some hopes for mage. Part of it is with a mage game there is the need of the structure. I mean, yes I understand the techices got the city on lock down.. but the traditions are walking around easily. But no realy push to go one way or another

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 6:58:57 PM)
*nods* have you read the current big post ic by the mages?

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 6:59:18 PM)
I'm off a few days.. cause work was hell with the web but I'm catching back up

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:01:25 PM)
The whole point of the current metaplot is dealing with the acquisition of the first chantry with node. Creating some of that structure. Unfortunately right now I would say of a mage population of about 50, there are about 20 active and about 10 that are working on storylines, the rest ignore it

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:01:48 PM)
yeah.. that.. is what is possible to happen

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:02:57 PM)
that and with the limited time of not always being around its harder to get it into place. That and making the time seem to go by well enough for the story to come into play. After all, if you give access to one node you'll have to have an equalizer in place in case you have the situation where all of the more powerful pcs band together to run it and basically keep others under foot

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:04:02 PM)
the current cabal that is doing the most work ic has two arete 4 pc's and there is no reason right now why they and many of their allies wouldn't have almost pure access to it. Yes, I'm aware some of the powerful pc's could do so.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:04:40 PM)
Whihch I'm guessing that cabal is Aislinn and Bryan Burns.

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:05:24 PM)
perhaps fortunately the other two arete 4 mages aren't well liked, so theres no way it'll go to a state like that. But if those players that have put in a vested interest stop those who have made no work at all, I don't see why I'll stop them. Bryan Burns isn't in that cabal, as far as i'm aware he's in no cabal

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:06:29 PM)
Well. my time has been making ithard about trying to get the intrest in a node secured. I keep on frogetting to do blue books and would figure to talk to you on it, since while I know mitter is a friend, I don't want to put her in an akward position

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:06:52 PM)
mitt has stepped down due to real life, she isn't on the team anylonger.

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:08:06 PM)
You've mentioned a few times about your time being hard. How are you hoping despite this to help out with running things for mage?

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:08:40 PM)
my work got slammed in a way that I didn't expect. Now that I'm in a better place to manage it and I've gotten other things in my life in order, I'll be able to step up and do things.

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:09:45 PM)
can i honestly ask your thoughts on your current cabal with Adom?

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:11:20 PM)
IC side or OOC side

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:11:36 PM)
OOC.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:12:47 PM)
OOC wise.. the player of Lyric and I talk now and then.. btu I keep it at that and seperate ooc from IC. I don't talk with Dorian or Jordan ooc. Maggie while I can handle things IC, and I listen to what is said. I judge and take it with a grain of salt. I know that if I got blues I'd flat out tell them that while I would love to handle things for them that it wouldn't be wise as I would hate to give the impressiong of favortism

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:14:36 PM)
what views I express and endure with them on the IC side.. are just that of a PC. I do my best to try and kepe in mind that its a game and that alligences can shift fast in mage. but jumping cabals can be seen as a harsh mentality.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:14:46 PM)
or was I missing the exact question you wanted to ask?

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:15:34 PM)
No, largely I wanted to see what you thought as the cabal has been trouble for me and I wanted to see if you had any sense of that at all. The fact that you've mentioned Maggie suggests you know something is going on

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:17:19 PM)
Mitter was wild in a few rants with me. Explaining that she lists maggie as a probrolem player

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:19:52 PM)
I think mitter was a bit biased in some part but she is a friend and I listened to what she said.. and looked through what I saw. Now, as I'm guessing it probably has something to do surrounding Aislinn's use of life on Lyric. and Maggie getting pissed that she can get away with it.

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:20:11 PM)
Maggie has come across as passive aggressive. Her answer for not enjoying 1 scene she was in was to decide not to play in any of the scenes I've since run and complain about it to other players. I rarely see her even log on these days. Then Lyric and Dorian spend the majority of time in locked rooms cybering

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:20:46 PM)
lyric's breaking from that.. but those are also the players choices on that.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:21:21 PM)
I've seen them outside the rooms and talking and doing other things but the same time.. there is a split game currently over that tistuation from what I've seen

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:21:28 PM)
Lyric went and insulted an arete 4 mage not once but twice, and Aislinn got hit by paradox for what she did. Maggie May only made things worse by trying to push a cabal war, when Aislinn had regularly only said that all Lyric needed to do was come talk to her and she'd sort it out. Lyric in the end did, got everything returned to normal, problem solved

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:21:59 PM)
yeah.. I know. I was trying to play peace keeper on my side

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:24:34 PM)
Aislinn despite your seeming dislike of them in the way you've slanted some of your posts has been doing a lot within the game. Her cabal are working a lot with the current metaplot. As are Saffron, Isabel and a few others.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:26:59 PM)
IC perception is one thing Tohunga

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:27:32 PM)
ooc wise.. I don't fault Aislinn for what she did and all shes done to work on plot. As it is when I've asked as a PC trying to see if I coudl work in.. I've gotten stone wall but thats because of IC stuff

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:29:07 PM)
AS it is also, No ST will like or be liked by all there players.. there will be times of it fading in and out as life works in and out of life

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:29:37 PM)
keep in mind from an IC standpoint, Adom has a tendency to go a little hysterical, i've had several players say that about her and found it hard to deal with her because of it

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:30:04 PM)
Yes, I am aware of that.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:30:12 PM)
As I said.. thats IC RP.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:31:48 PM)
But growth of a PC through RP and Stories is what makes the game interesting..

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:34:21 PM)
indeed, I'm just finding it hard to see here what you as a player see and what Adom is seeing. Much of what you've posted has been colored by them and then you'll say something else again. I brought you in here to get to know the potential narrator/asst, not Adom :)

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:36:39 PM)
True. you've askd a lot about things convcerning the game, and my view points. I've given as adom as the narrator/asst. I'm also only going off of what I've been able to learn of some situations as playing the character. Since I am not privy to informatoin behind the curtain.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:38:39 PM)
so if you want to get know me.. don't ask me games about the game but rther about me..

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:39:37 PM)
alright, tell me some about yourself and why you're offering to run things, how you aspire to do so. Largely I've found you not very active as a player and hard to know much about which is largely why you're in here and getting asked things. I'm trying to get a feel on you

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:41:14 PM)
I am a graphic designer, I live in texas, I was raised in Nebraska. I'm fairly laid back and easy on most parts. I hate to be rule lawyered to death. No ST is perefect and mistakes are made but thats the point of sometimes taking the 15 minutes to write something. Im'm not as active on parts fo the weekend as thats when I do thigs with my wife, trying to keep my marriage going.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:42:23 PM)
Why I'm offering to help and run things is becaue I see you need help.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:42:44 PM)
Now I figure that any major meta plot or such I won't touch. Since thats all in your pocket.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:43:45 PM)
If you wanted me checking sheets, handling xp spending of a small nature and doing small bit scenes and side plots then fine. I'd handle that

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:44:11 PM)
Mitt tried running things pseudo attached to the metaplot and had ten pc's show up to the scene. I don't think she expected so much and it ended up being a bit of a mess, was intending to do more personal/smaller scenes instead before real life intruded upon

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:44:57 PM)
i tend to be fine with the admin side of things, xp etc is pretty easy to keep up with. Smaller scenes and the like would be more what I'd hope for, though i'd like to be kept in the loop about such things

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:47:38 PM)
yeah.. I figure writing reports or synopsis of them work out enough to make things interestin

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:49:08 PM)
you have skype?

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:49:14 PM)
yep

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:51:54 PM)
gothjester@gmail.com if you need to serach for me.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:51:59 PM)
should come up as koldun child

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:52:31 PM)
alright, i'll see about getting you onto the team as an asst in the next few days.

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:54:47 PM)
namatse

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:55:53 PM)
anything else?

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 7:57:06 PM)
no, you can go. Thanks for your time

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:59:40 PM)
no problem.. see you around

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 7:59:46 PM)
oh.. I did have a question

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 8:00:22 PM)
hmm?

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 8:00:48 PM)
I was thinking of attempting to purchase another spirit ally.. I was wondering.. if it was another spirit crow.. at a background of 2 cost.. would I pay for the first and second level at once? or just pay as if it was a level 2?

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 8:03:01 PM)
hmm, you're wanting a seperate background ally? then yeah, you buy both dots at once

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 8:05:08 PM)
yeah.. since I figure I'd be buying each spirit ally as a seperate new entity

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 8:05:46 PM)
if you're looking at full ally's then yeah. Theres different ways of handling it, i have another pc that largely uses them like contacts

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 8:06:09 PM)
mm.. well.. between information network and using them to get things done..

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 8:06:20 PM)
I was goign to be specilizing in snake and bird spirits with adom

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 8:07:50 PM)
*nods* maybe you should look at a different breed of bird for your next ally then

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 8:10:03 PM)
yeah.. I was thinking of a few level 1 as spys

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 8:11:44 PM)
alrighty. Anything else?

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 8:12:18 PM)
nope thats it.. I'll be putting in for the spirit eallies here soon. since I wanna round the pc out before I go for arete 3.. and figure that woring through the cluture shock of the situation would be better

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 8:12:45 PM)
as an aside, whats with your regular squares in your posts?

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 8:13:02 PM)
oh you mean the ..

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 8:13:22 PM)
I don't know what it is. I just type that way at times. Drives me nuts but I can't seem to break from it

Tohunga (Apr 4, 2011 8:14:02 PM)
seems like you're trying to delete things or something and having it come up through that, ahh well. Going to go into an ic room and see whats going on now

Adom Vintas (Apr 4, 2011 8:14:47 PM)
sometimes my chat box won't let me back up. and I have to select areas and delete and retype them.
