    Yeah, night from me, too. Harold, Juan, and Chrys, all say night.

    Hey everyone, there will be streams around and in the mountain that Fox's group is headed towards (if it is ok with the GMs to have clean streams there). For details as to where the mountain is located, look at my post on page 48 of the Pheonix Colony thread. If you want a source of clean water, then you guys should start heading towards the mountain also.

    Edit: Goodnight Foxy.

    I'm thinking that Bardon might join us soon...bringing others with us if they are amenable or on his own if they are not. He's talked about going to the mountains quite a bit.

    I'd like to start getting us back together somewhat.

    Having Bardon come with us is probably a good idea. Fox will most likely trust him because he is also a rebel.

    I'm sure Barden will be along eventually. So is Allen still skulking around? Where did he get to?

    Pasha was going to follow Bardon, and Viva will more then likely not leave Pasha (Not that he would leave without her.)

    Developing Genetic Mutations: Guidelines


    Our genetic mutations have been the biggest point of confusion since the beginning of this RPG.


    The mutations fall into three categories:

    Physical:
    Affects the character’s physical body.

    Environmental: Character can affect the environment in an unusual way.

    Mind: the character’s mind is affected by or can affect the minds of others.


    Color-coding when our character uses their special ability or suffers from the new debility could be a big help as the symptoms emerge. Let’s use the colors shown above for the sake of standardization and readability. Perhaps later in the RP we won’t need to do this when our mutation is fully realized but as the symptoms of are new color-coding may help. Mind powers especially have the potential to be powerfully confusing. You do not have to use the color-coding...you may come up with a different method or you may choose to just write it and risk confusion. This is just a possible help.

    Do remember that even though YOU may know that someone is using their new powers, your character may not!

    Speed of change (in Game Time):


    First Week – Your character sees minor strange symptoms or phenomena that they may try uneasily to dismiss as their imagination.

    Second Week – Symptoms and phenomena are stronger and the characters have to admit to themselves that something weird is going on. Others begin to notice, too.

    Following Weeks – Symptoms and phenomena are pronounced and continue to develop. Everyone is aware of them and has to acknowledge the genetic alterations as real.

    The characters should be hungry
    as their metabolism kicks into high gear. The genetic changes use a lot of energy.

    Chad (Chad)– Physical
    Britney (SD) – Environmental
    Fox (SD) – Physical
    Reva (Foxee) – Physical
    Cull (Gloom Kitty) – Environmental +, Physical –
    Harold (Rumpole) – Environmental +, Physical –
    Juan (Rumpole) – Mind
    Derek (Tsukuru) – Physical
    Pasha (Bick) – Mind
    Allen (CDRW) – Mind
    Raylene (Foxy) – Mind +, Physical –
    Owen (Ohmytheoctopus) – Physical
    Ben (Chickidy) – Physical
    Chrys (Zorell) – Physical
    Barden (Darkthought) – Physical
    Viva (Charisma) - Mind

    That’s all I can think of for now. I’m linking this page for reference so it will be updated if I think of more.

    So what you're saying is that we should change our text color when writing the effects of using their powers?

    Also, I just want to make sure nobody's around the nose of the ship now.

    Yep, I'm saying that would help other players know. It might keep confusion down. Maybe. I hope.

    It looks like you're all clear. Fox had us zip in and out of then nose section pretty darned quick.

    Correct, the nose of the ship is empty. Also, yeah, she wants us to change text color when writing the effects of our powers.

    Foxee, I've edited the mutation post, it's on page 67. It has the color coding and the categories.

    Ok question for the girls club. Did any of you pick up the leather jacket i said I was gona have in my bag (Should have been in the nose of the ship). I'm thinking of finding some random guy with it and a conflict happening but I wanted to give you guys the chance to claim it because you've been at the nose the entire time. (My charicter won't kill you or hurt you for a jacket and he might trade you for it.)

    None of them have a leather jacket, so you can have it.

    I said she was wearing a jacket...I thought later that it might be chad's jacket. And she's carrying two guards' bags.

    So can we go ahead and assume it's my jacket? A leather jacket would keep you warm and protect you. I don't think it'd be left for someone else to grab.

    I have a ton of work to do today. SD and Foxee, you are free to control Raylene if you need to. I'll be back this afternoon at some point.
