Drink The Moon -- Discussion

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-10 06:04:05

To keep the actual thread on topic, please discuss the game here, and ask all relevant questions in this thread.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-10 06:18:28

Sorry about the slow start.

I'm trying to subtly nudge you in the proper direction without actually railroading you into any particular decision.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-11-10 09:34:19

Get ready for your GM skills to be tested, my umlauted friend. I intend to glue every mustache on every duck, if you understand my meaning.

OK, I exaggerate, but my thought processes do tend to go into strange realms when confronted with unusual situations.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-10 13:34:00

Fair enough.

Though that may work in your favor at some point.

ProTip: I have only the vaguest idea of a plot sketched out at this point, the rest is up to y'all.

Also the character is not an AFGNCAAP. Just clarifying that now in case it's not obvious yet.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-11 00:12:42

Try turning what?

Tre · 2012-11-11 02:33:38

The plastic, I guess.

Maybe I figured it was a bulb or something, sorry.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-13 18:23:49

I needed to come up with something suitably "eh?" to respond to Sredni's weirdpost.

ProTip, Tre had the right idea.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-11-14 03:12:32

I thought that it might be alive, and that being nice to it would make it brighter, thus making what it is more obvious.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-14 03:51:39

I thought you were just being silly, honestly.

Sorry

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-11-14 08:42:58

It's fine, but next time I ask something weird... should I explain my logic in this thread, maybe?

As I said before, my mind goes to odd places sometimes.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-19 07:57:19

guuuuuys? :s

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-20 19:30:21

Just as a ProTip, the sign, despite being a sapient sign, is still a sign.

ProfessorGator · 2012-11-20 20:12:13

I figured there was some limitation to what the sign could answer. That's why I stuck to yes or no questions. And on that note, I got a little confused when my last question was met with the Moon City exit sign. I guess that's where the sign lives?

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-20 20:17:16

It's a sign.

Namely, a highway sign. Its job is to tell you where the nearest city is. Which happens to be Moon City in this case.

It doesn't live anywhere.

It's a sign.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-11-23 06:11:17

ProTip: In order to catch the bus, do what you would actually do to catch a bus.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-03 13:54:29

bump?

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-03 14:35:31

what's a route sign

Jumpingzombie · 2012-12-03 14:36:22

I'm guessing it's like a bus schedule.

Princess Alice · 2012-12-03 14:38:43

I assume that's the LED board that scrolls "13 A - DOWNTOWN - WILSON AVE" or whatever

Tachyon · 2012-12-03 14:39:43

It's like a variable message sign on the front or the side of the bus, displaying the route number and sometimes other information about the route.

ninja'd

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-03 14:42:30

ohhhhh a ticker.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-03 15:01:59

I should probably explain how currency works here at some point

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-07 01:37:58

BOMP

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-24 04:45:00

I'M SORRY IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I UPDATED THIS I DIDN'T REALIZE BOBBY POSTED I FEEL LIKE AN ASS

also

>INPUT HUMAN FEMALE NAME

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-24 04:45:12

if anyone says "Zestpoole" anything I will dickpunch you.

Tre · 2012-12-25 23:09:49

Ellie Passarelli.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-29 07:09:25

I neglected to post it, but Tre submitted his answer first. I'll get on that.

(furthermore, "Blondie" would qualify as a frivolous suggestion)

Eelektross · 2012-12-29 07:39:19

Clint Eastwood kicks ass

Unknown · 2012-12-29 07:41:41

The user and all related content has been deleted.

Devil Morgan · 2012-12-29 07:46:48

ah,

Eelektross said:

I don't understand.

ProfessorGator · 2012-12-29 09:45:57

Just out of curiosity, I'm guessing Natalie was off-limits too?

Not that it really matters. We have a good name already.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-29 09:47:43

Yes, because reasons.

Eelektross · 2012-12-29 10:12:45

I just watch too many spaghetti westerns and associate any nameless stranger-types with Clint Eastwood.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-14 01:35:33

bump

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-16 16:00:43

so this is as far as I got writing the plot so far.

So um

I don't know what to do now.

Manly McMacho · 2013-01-16 16:40:40

If those marbles are currency maybe mister cockroach has a shitton of them, or something.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-16 16:41:35

right the marbles.

I'll think of something, it might just take a few days is all.

Thank you to all of you for sticking through with this by the way.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-27 03:20:25

OK so I apologize for the repeated delays, but I've got this going somewhere again.

We're headed pretty firmly into weird fiction territory by now, as I'm sure you can all tell.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-27 03:35:08

also the currency system. Those blue things are called Polkon and are a bit more like Yen than American Dollars or British Pounds. They come in six denominations in increments of ten.

Blue - 1 p.
Red - 10 p.
Green - 100 p.
Purple - 1,000 p.
Silver/Grey - 10,000 p.
Gold/Yellow - 100,000 p.

it's in your best interest to get as much as you can, but be careful of how you go about getting it. The government in Moon City is quite strict, and fleecing even a single Blue from the Lord-Mayor will land you in prison. That's not somewhere you want to be, so be discreet if you have to engage in any illegal activities (protip: you almost certainly will).

edit: forgot I already named the currency, and I like the old name better.

Tre · 2013-01-27 15:51:08

...would making a call back to the Coke command be considered a "nonserious command"?

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-27 16:03:46

I don't know what you're doing in particular so, maybe?

Tre · 2013-01-27 16:10:00

I dunno, something like "> Look out of the bus window whilst craving a Coke".

If that doesn't work I'll take the last part off.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-27 16:14:28

that's fine

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-28 01:36:33

whoop whoop.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-29 21:40:50

how magic works in Drink The Moon:

it's
fucking
complicated

It is however possible for you to learn spells. But we'll get to that when the time comes.

Drink's magic draws from a combination of folk magick traditions and D&D stlye Vancian magic, so you're not going to be whirling fireballs at anyone unfortunately.

Tachyon · 2013-01-29 21:43:18

...i only meant like 'You're a sorcerer?' and 'What does a sorcerer do?' ^_^;

i really wasn't suggesting quizzing Naiko at length about the game mechanics.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-29 21:44:10

well then you should've asked one of those two questions, silly.

I will then answer the first one.

Tachyon · 2013-01-29 21:55:53

i was trying to describe the action of saying 'You're a sorceror?' without using direct speech.

i evidently like making things difficult for myself.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-29 21:57:46

That's alright, a8.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-01-31 02:20:28
