Tafu Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Jazz- Yowrik is a very public figure in Sakrinil who, on the surface, gave up his life of piracy for a better life. He's also the main contact for most Dragon members in the city when they're looking for information or are looking for a job, so yes, your character does have a way of knowing him.

After the episode Blink, we're all paranoid constantly.Admittedly, I was a lot less disturbed in their second appearance.The fact is, the more of something there is, and the more powers it has, the less scary it is. In Blink, the Angels powers were very limited, and so was their purpose. They never communicated goals or ideas. Then, they came back. And they were shown to be able to grow old. And shown with their original powers replaced by a bunch of strange 'image of' and such powers. Plus, the Doctor was there, so you knew it was going to end well. And the worst part was them communication with Angel Bob so they were less creepy than before.On the other hand, in Blink, the Doctor wasn't there, just humans. The angels never talked. They offered a very clear idea of everything.In short, if Moffat has ever made a mistake, it was the Time of Angel rewrite. In my opinion. You may feel differently. But I thought it took away from what made them scary just to make them a threat to a squad of soldiers instead of normal people.@ Krayzikk; I'm toying with you all. -Toa Levacius Zehvor Edited August 21, 2012 by Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krayzikk Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Agreed 100%, Lev.I enjoyed the Angels far more in their original appearance. It was a fun little two-parter, but Time of the Angels wasn't very good. It didn't have that enjoyable aura of paranoia.I mean, the first one had me checking my house for statues. The second and third had me wondering how the Doctor was going to kick their cans.And yeah, you are always toying with us.

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 IC (Fenrir)Fenrir had had enough. "Why would that even matter? It's a hunk of rock. First you point a weapon at a fellow crewmen and now your commanding us to do odd things and now, you are revealing a phobia towards harmless statues." Fenrir turned to Song. "I suggest we have his mental... fitness...evaluated by someone."Yes! It worked!Uh-oh. More party infighting.@ Krayzikk; Every since we moved to this house when I was 2, there has been a stone gargoyle precariously hanging at the edge of the china cabinet. After that episode.... well, he hasn't come after us. Yet. Nor has the small one in my room, but he's chained up to a stone cross on his chain, so he's not as dangerous. The other one, though...Well, watching The Omen didn't help either. After that movie, the idea of a stone statue falling for no reason and smashing your head becomes one you'll consider, and that Gargoyle is solid stone. I think. He could be hollow. I dunno, he hasn't been touched or dusted for 12 years.-Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Myr, this RPG is not dead. A dead RPG is one that hasn't been posted in for a week (Epoch of Despair & Beat n' Rhythm from the last two contests). Strike from the Shadows isn't even dead yet, but it looks like it will be. And RPG isn't 'dead' because not many people are posting.Most people have already started or will be starting school. For me, it'll be tomorrow.

So now I have to figure out who to send Myr's dungeon info to if he doesn't join... *Grumble*I guess I'll split it evenly.Plus, nobody is taking the Keysword because you hate treasure. And swords. And keys. For whatever reason.Besides, the groups Toa are legally obligated to keep Myr under watch to ensure he doesn't go rogue. It's in the contract. That everybody ignores.
