Bookkeeping

[BLewis]

Evening Folks,

As you (hopefully) know, we're moving back to the campus. With that, paper-table availability will be changing a tad to accommodate the new atmosphere.

First, battery life is very finite and its still wet in Washington. But, apparently, we want to be outside. That means that, as soon as there's no line, I'm shutting down. This shouldn't effect anyone overly much, since most of what's been happening revolves almost entirely around two questions: "How much XP do I have?" and "How long until I rank up?"

I encourage these questions to be avoided at game, so you can leap into quality RP instead of waiting to answer the question in person. Instead, send an email (It's [e-mail], in case you hadn't seen the earlier post).

Second, not so much a change, but an update. Totem Sheets! Please get me some updated totem sheets so that they can be entered into the system to live alongside all the characters.

That's all for now! Ask any questions you like and I'll answer them the best I can.

River had some kick ass Totem sheets floating around somewhere.

[Alden J. Blethen]

Those totem sheets can be found a McGone's sheet site. There's a link at the bottom of this very page! Then you go searching for it, wist time and effort throw your hand in the air shouting WTF MATE!? As you hands come down they are guided by some mystic force, or maybe the Fates themselves and you happen to click the right link. Or at least thats what happened to me...

[BLewis]

Does it look like....this?

[Magic Rob]

shockingly similar, that.

[Brewer]

There is an outlet available at the elevators for where wet game happens so I think if game were up in front of the library then yes you would have lots O dry space for computer and power.

[BLewis]

While true (Unless they've gotten rid of it or moved it with the construction), I still enjoy playing and want to keep time staring at a computer screen to a minimum.

Hi! So.

Did you know that if you don't put your name on card(s) that you turn in for purchases, I don't know that you want them? I've received quite a few in the last few weeks without any sort of identification on who they belong to.

Also, I haven't received a single updated Totem sheet from anyone (The single new pack that gave me a giant packet doesn't count; you're brand new(ish) enough that I don't think there's any changes that've happened on it). So, if you lose your Totem sheet, you're pretty well boned as it won't be in the system.

[BLewis]

Also, sign in. Josh is far nicer than I am, and he won't always be there to sign you in when you don't get around to it.

[BLewis]

As a reminder, you can only learn one dot for something each week and you need a teacher (In some form) for 4's and 5's that aren't physical attributes (Strength, Dexterity, Stamina).

[BLewis]

For the whole 18 people who had Totem at 6 or higher, your XP has been refunded in the system. Staff has been passed on complete breakdowns of who has totem dots at what rating, and what packs have a total of how many dots in the background.

I also have a couple cards for folks wanting to learn things without their names on them again. So... yeah, I'll hold onto these, and if you think it may have been you, send an email or see me at the beginning of game so that you can buy the things you'd like to buy. I have a Rite card from a few weeks ago and a Gift card from this past week in the Lost-and-Found-Purchases box at this time.

[BLewis]

Howdy folks.

So, mistake made on my part, in my addled head of unpacking and such from my trip, I sent the two cards and one sheet I got through the wash. If the folks who handed me stuff this past game could email or re-write out what the cards said, I'd appreciate it and get it entered right quick.

Thanks for your help, and sorry for the wash.

[BLewis]

As an update on how things are running, I'm moving away from using my laptop whenever I can get away with it. What's this mean? It means I'll have a little text file on my phone that can be pulled up pretty much whenever. I'll sit around for the first 20 minutes or so (This is still the time I'd prefer to get to things) to answer questions and the like, but past that if I'm not actively in the middle of something, feel free to ask about XP totals or renown time.

I'll also have new Totem sheets this game, for your min-max'ing needs with the new Totem system.

[BLewis]

So... A whole mess of people have ranked up, but without you turning in a card to let me know, I'll probably have horrendously out of date information, if I hear about it at all. This means you need to turn something in. And if you think you didn't, turn one in anyways. A lot of people are missing out on renown time because I never find out about it, and often I don't hear about it until well after the fact.

Turn in them cards!

[BLewis]

Hello again.

As you may have noticed, there's a couple new posts up in the House Rules section. They also have a line in them on not mucking them up with OOC chatter, please heed that.

Also, I'm going to bring up that email should be used, not PMing this login. I don't often log onto it, and there's really not a very good way to track much of anything sent to it. So, really, send an email. Its better in every possible way. Like getting responses. Because I'm just now getting messages sent from early October. At the end of November.

Email email email.

Email.

[BLewis]

As a reminder.... Gifts need ST Sign-Offs. Cards with gift names and no ST sign-off can't get purchased until an ST signs off.

[BLewis]

Folkses! If you have lost your sheet for one reason or another, more notice than less is awesome, because then there's actually the possibility of a sheet -- complete with all your shiny things -- waiting for you at game.

Help me help you avoid waiting!

(Also, use email, not PM'ing. Nothing paperwork related is going to get done through a PM, as previously mentioned)

As a gentle reminder:

It has come to staff's attention that we have been having people challenge for rank without clarifying with the paper-table to ensure that they qualify for said rank. Now, I'm not one for micromanaging, but that just simply will not do.

Effective immediately, in order for you to rank up a series of IC actions must happen and a series of OOC actions must happen.

IC you must find a dude applicable to accept your challenge (of your breed, tribe or auspice). You must issue the challenge. The Master of the Challenge must be present for this and hear the challenge issued. He must agree this is sufficient to represent your new rank (and it is within his rights to check with the spirits to see if you even qualify). You must accomplish said task within specified timeline. You must then return to the guy you challenged and present them with your awesomeness. He must then declare you your new rank in the presence of the Master of the Challenge (who must also agree you are the new rank).

OOC you must check with the paper-table either over email during the week or at game while the table is open to ensure you are close enough to challenge. You must then get an item card signed by the guy you challenged saying you completed whatever it was he said you should do. You must then get an ST to sign said card. Then this card must be turned into the papertable.

Done!

Failure to adhere to this process will result in consequences. If you haven't waited the right time, the spirits are likely to punish you, the master of the challenge, and the dude you challenged for cheating. Staff is likely to get annoyed. Fellow players will point and laugh. Shame will boil within you like a hive of bees. BEES!

And none of us want that. So... don't cheat.

There have been several people saying they've completed rank challenges and the like, yet I haven't seen a card from anyone in several weeks on such. If you believe you have ranked up, it isn't finished until you've gotten a card turned in, after having finished the time needed.

Edit:

And, further reminding, renown cards need to be signed off by ST's. They dictate the time off that acts grant.

[BLewis]

So... another week, and more people proclaiming new ranks without turning in rank cards. Your rank isn't 'finished' until that happens, and the time for the new rank doesn't start until the last rank is finished. Soooo.. turn in the cards. Or you won't be able to buy new gifts for the new rank, and you won't be making forward progress on a new rank.

[BLewis]

Just another reminder for the Totem thread... 3 of 9 packs have posted their totem's details -- that's only a third of the existing packs. Please post your totem as soon as possible so everyone's on the same page.
