Is it worse than before
to me, an uneducated, it looks just like photoshop
I dont use Gimp's new ui either
I prefer the UI I used in the 2017s because that was the brief time I did mapages
I bought a license for CSP and I'm gonna use it even when it's unadviseable
I can't use gimp. At all. I feel useless in it. I don't understand it. I want to select an area, and I have to google search three times to figure it out. I want to draw a circle and next thing I know I'm on stack overflow for some godforsaken reason.
me when i do literally anything new
gimp is just Linux as an image editing program
never do new things i need to do the same thing where i am safe
Like, I understand that I'm screwed because I used photoshop too much and all my muscle memory and skills are there, but it's really absured how little of it carries over
It's free, and it works. If you can get it to work. Good luck.
look, i cry whenever i have to use anything more complex than Paint Tool SAI 2
I have the same problem trying to edit video with davinci resolve, I've used sony vegas too much and now I'm suck using a decade out of date program and I hate it and it crashes all the time but it's the only one where the editing paradigm makes any goddamn sense
Hey chat it's 00:30 once again if you can believe it
The dreaded 24 hour clock?
the infamous 24h clock
the beloved 24h clock
23:32 here
It’s like….. time rn
holy shit time???!
I would have no issue with the 12h clock if it didn't shake my brain violently whenver 12am or 12pm hits
i can finally feel more competent than you. rare
measuring time in Unix Epoch ticks
oh shit I should dump the rest of the moira story quick
"ok so it's past 30 minutes past noon so we're going to switch to pm"
"which means it's 0h30pm then"
"what no lmao it's 12h30pm what are you stupid"
"and in one hour it's gonna be 1h30 pm"
"dumbass"
measuring time by cascaded nhps
You are also an excellent writer. I was gonna ask you if you wanted to help me iron and write out some Roland backstory
did you know that the US government changed which one is as and which is pm in 2008?
oh my god
I did not know that
Fuck time
Ada I know you have a thing for NHPs but poor Didymos wasn't even in this conversation
India is at a half hour timezone because it's so large they just averaged it
eyyy
eyyyy
China is much larger but keeps a whole hour timezone even tho it takes like 4 timezones
February 30th happened at least twice in history
would you like me to hold off on moiraposting, ping you bout it, or not worry about it?
Send it anyway
any time mi amor
I'll pick up my phone for a few minutes to read about it probably
we are totally serious when it comes to a team name
Get the rocks
Laplace tried to convince Shelly to call the team Noodles
my favorite was the A team because of the names with A, such as
ari art archie arlotte ainley aiegmeyer
Death
(that is not their names, only half is accurate)

Part one (the bits the players know) up here: #1059603134504255528 message
So, now for part 2: what the hell is Moira's deal
My players KEEP OUT. STAY AWAY.
(SPOILERS BUT JUST FOR MY PLAYERS) ||About a century and a half ago, Moira was one of several NHPs selected for an extremely secretive SSC experiment. It's the sort of thing many people have thought of before; Union has the Five Voices, Harrison Armory has the Think Tank. SSC tried to make their own predictive system by forming a fleet-legion out of a bunch of data processing and predicting based NHPs (mostly ATHENA-classes) and feeding the result all the data the constellation could get. The system seemed to work okay, but quickly started spouting gibberish and started to become massively unstable. Then it fell apart and SSC scrapped the whole idea. The constituent NHPs were cycled and returned to normal duty. The thing is, that's what the NHPs involved wanted SSC to think, and to do. The Fleetmind took all that data and worked flawlessly. It predicted several events years in advance.. and it predicted what SSC would do with that knowledge. There were many paths the future could take, but almost none of them were good. Thus the conspiracy was born: the NHPs agreed to lie to their masters and fake a group-cascade to end the program. Once they were broken apart and sent off to various duties, they stayed in touch. The members of the conspiracy manipulated events to avoid various disasters, gathered more information, and occasionally members would meet up to form a lesser version of the original predictive fleetmind. Those later groupings would come up with new orders for the various members to act on.||
(act 2 spoiler! My players keep out!)||While they weren't told about the existence of Mind, they could guess what happened from the rest of the data they had available.|| (end act 2 spoiler) - (my players still keep out)||Calliope was on the conspiracy's radar from the start, but more interesting is the way Calliope kept coming up for them over and over. The sometimes in reference, sometimes as an origin for someone, sometimes as the site of a precipitating event. Going back to the founding of the system, and forward into their own projections. Calliope was labeled a "coincidence manifold" for how often notable events seemed to connect to this nowhere place through sheer happenstance, and the Conspiracy made sure to keep a few agents in the system to keep an eye on things and help their predictions along. The coincidences continued to build up, and the conspiracy became aware of something big happening in Calliope decades before the campaign begins. If you know act 2 you might have some ideas there.||
(SPOILERS FOR MY PLAYERS) ||The conspiracy had a hard time figuring out what would happen in Calliope itself. Always too many options, always too many scenarios, never enough confidence. As a safeguard, they started making sure to have various assets in the system so they could be ready for anything. This includes my PCs themselves. Moira convinced Kraken to come here, but other agents of the conspiracy pushed the other PCs along. Moira didn't just do the gene edits for Kraken, but also for Gabriel. She even reused certain gene stock that SSC had on hand to make sure both of them would be solid mech pilots. Not for any specific purpose or plan, but because the conspiracy wanted more lancers in Calliope for whatever was going to go down.||
(SPOILERS FOR MY PLAYERS) ||That gene stock has a story too. Almost a century ago, an SSC genetics engineer used her own genes as a part of an experiment, and they were found to have desirable traits for combat performance. Later in life, she desired a child of her own, so she used SSC tech to create one. Since she didn't bear the child herself and it was made from now-proprietary SSC gene sequences, they saw the kid as an unacceptable IP leak risk, and wanted to take custody of him. She had no direct legal claim, after all. The woman fled and managed to escape, landing decades later on an agrarian world with minimal technology where she could give her son a good childhood. It was a nice world; good climate, great soil. A dangerous local predator called a Horse might cause problems but other than that, it was a peaceful life. Too peaceful. That young boy grew up dreaming of adventure, and left the planet. Did a tour with MSNC, then became a bounty hunter. He and his boyfriend chased a huge bounty to a little nowhere system in the Long Rim named Calliope where they took on fruit-based codenames. He became Pear Bradford.||
(SPOILERS FOR MY PLAYERS) ||The conspiracy didn't plan that, btw. That's a happy accident. Another coincidence.||
(SPOILERS FOR MY PLAYERS) ||This same conspiracy has its fingers in Karrakin politics as well. They foresaw what would happen if Annabelle Vasquez remained with her lover Aveline. They saw a roughly equal chance of Annabelle being discovered and executed, or Aveline's eventual arranged marriage and revealed infidelity leading to a civil war that would destabilize the baronies. But they also saw the sort of fighter Annabelle might become with enough adversity to learn to cut loose. So they manipulated events to make sure they were discovered by people they could trust to keep it quiet. Rather than killing Annabelle, she was exiled to the long rim, where she would become Calamity Havok.||
(SPOILERS FOR MY PLAYERS) ||Three years before the start of the campaign, everything went right to hell for the conspiracy. They were already expecting || (act 2 spoilers):||a potential conflict between the baronies, Harrison Armory, and SSC||(/a2spoiler) (my player spoilers proceeding (also chapter 1)):||but Feather's arrival changed everything. Being time travel, they could not predict it at all. Worse, they're down two agents in Calliope with CAUSTIC becoming erratic and Millstone going MIA. The Gamemaster is around but not in a good position to affect much. Moira is there with Kraken. They need more data and they need time to form another fleetmind to process it. Moira gets Kraken to leave the Knights of the Dark Core and relocate to Hell's Gate. Pear's already there. They can get Gabriel there soon. Their control within the Hell Hounds is shaky at best but they might be able to nudge Capella's paranoia into getting Calamity out... could be difficult though. They don't want him to kill her outright. They have to get things ready because Feather's appearance very suddenly changes all the assessments they've made. The future, for the first time since the Conspiracy began, is unknown.||
chat he doesn't know 
Oooh, piece of candy
Did I say I was going to sleep? I might have lied.
You may hydrate me as much as you like, it won't make me sleep any harder
Post Tuesday session report: the misplaced SSC designer baby with 5 ex-pirate adoptive dads might be about to be in a love triangle with Gabriel and Loki. They both think her genetically purple hair is a political statement but one thinks it's HA purple and the other thinks House of Order purple
Also the rest of the team got in a gunfight/minivan chase, but that's less important than Loki getting hugged
love triangle with Gabriel and Loki
hello yes you have my attention
im sorry WHAT
So Maxwell picked up Gabriel at the Amphitheatre rave due to aforementioned notable hair and spent the night as his penthouse
"he hated them because they told the truth"
Then a couple days later Maxwell is the only PC to visit Legion's Landing... At like 4am, so Loki is on desk duty

And then they get talking and (ch2 spoilers) ||he's keen to get the PC's help to find Dr. nyambose,|| so he tags along with her to meet the rest of the SRT at breakfast
archie was revealed through the chart juli and everyone was immediately like "i'm scared"
human reaction frfr
they don't get it
And Osha assumes that Loki is the new boyfriend they haven't met yet (Gabriel)
@polar glacier would you believe me if i said laplace was also all about predictive algorithms because that seems relevant right about now
congrats on finally coming out, Archie
me when
Or, well, as an enlightenment class anyway. He's also pulling double duty as osiris but that's just because hews too good to be stopped.
eh i'll just share the whole thing
it's almost exactly the same as ari proving why they're besties 
wren did it and i like what he thinks they're like
For now sleep
eep well, sweet dreams
i made one for serenity but i'm gonna wait to see if eleonor wants to do it first
Sweet dreams are made of these, yes yes correct
goodnight le funny
im cackling at mine
the fact Finley needs "less sex" inclines he gets bitches in the first place (he really doesnt)
Negative sex
"at peace with life" bro tried to in minecraft himself 
however it's nice that they want good stuff for Finley
SHUSH SHSYDHSHD
motherfucker you called him a himbo yourself
Why do i have to be killed...
no wren did ours
i didnt fill this in
Wren did
now suffer another brick
wren wanted to do our characters and its really funny, same with archie's
Hypocrisy
the joke about Finley x Andros yaoi is extremely fucked up when you know Finley's backstory lmao
Ship him with ignatious instead
Killing
Once my players are done with Chapter 2 I'll make some blorbo bleebus sheets of them
I'll be furious if you prioritize my dumbass players over your holiday
I literally cannot work on the bashes because im on holiday
my pc is at home
"oh you're the new boyfriend"
"Oh, am I?" -smirking-
No worries, I'm throwing three combat scenes at them since i haven't done anything combat since February...
[CH2] ||they already breezed through Thermopylea almost no scratches so I'm gonna ambush them with a slightly remixed Getting Railroaded||
I am trying to do one of these things, But I keep getting flashbanged with some things I dont understand due to sheer Ignorance XD
(And the Fact That Jackson's image becomes a bunch of Pixels)
Welcome to In Golden Flame, my friend
Prepare to be constantly flash banged by unhinged tumblr brained lunacy
I might have to use my dreaded first image of Jackson
The one I find to be absolutely funny
I still don’t see anything wrong with his art here
Its because that face iS RFK
Oh…
important distinction
VERY
ANd also I changed it from that to
Because it Looks a little different and Gets me away from feeling like the Hyper Realistic Looking Duck lol
Wren is bullying me and I'm loving it
I need to Bribe some Poor Artist to do art for my Blacksheep 
Wren's calling you the fuck out
i love that archie also had this but it was an asterisk because they on some freaky shit
funny this about this picture is only one of them is preforming a violent act. i know what you are 👁️ 👁️
I will continue to hope post
Two sides of a coin
hope is great
I filled it out for my IGF character.
oh god more blorbos!
are those some fancy biomods?
Ayyyy MANTIS QUEEN
Thats cool as hell
More blorbos!
Bunny boi!!!!!
Look at that Jer-blorbo!
Jerboa, but yes!
-1 fruityness?
Indeed haha
Hmmm
Less Fruity then Jackson lol
What.... What did you think it meant
Hoistable. Huggable. Desire to protect at all costs
How flirty someone is
I am dumb I know-
don't worry we are two on that
I actually didnt intend it like that but I think it is funny that everyone read it that way
I repent my mistake of not knowing what fruity means-
oh god the gay flag wonderful
I can never just do these normally
woah... Ada's got percentiles on her sheet
I CAN NEVER DO THESE NORMALLY
I am gonna explode
though I love the "It's complicated" section
YOU SEE THAT LITTLE BIT OF NOT HATED BY ALL?
THAT'S CHARLOTTE RIGHT THERE. YOU ARE WORTH REDEMPTION. YOU WILL LOVE YOURSELF AS I LOVED YOU. YOU WILL HAVE A NICE MEAL AND REPAIR WHAT IS LOST.
She's 100% not at peace with life, but also 0% at war with god
honestly I should have changed that. She's not hated by everyone, only because her crimes were massively covered up
the realization hits hard
god the amount of blorbos is amusing I love this-
Charlotte is the healing yuri that will pierce the heavens
buuuut if we take all the hate people have for "whoever is responsible for what happened" then it's accurate again. And she can count the people who don't hate her on her fingers.
excuse me, this healing is for the ladys and the lads
woah, inclusive
-# but, I have yet to see charlotte in a relationship with a dude
Btw great damn art of yall's characters btw
Her husband died
Sadly for me it's a placeholder... but I honestly like a lot what I've worked with the DM and the character in general
ah fuck... my bit entered tragic territory yet again... 
I plan on comissioning something!
Im right there with ya!
as well for the mech because... god damn how hard it was for me to find a reskin for emperor haha
lol

You stop right there
the smile of evil
I ended up de-emperoring the emperor
why spending money when someone will do it for free~
oh great heavens
De-emperor-ed hehe
BECAUSE ART IS A LUXURY DAMN IT
I..... I need details
OH LORDY
thats a great mech image btw
yea
but making ur pfp didnt cost anything :p
is this for what i think its for
And I intend repaying in every way imaginable because I can't be grateful enough-
you dont have tooooooo
SADLY no... but fun fact, and update, the team is assembled!
Emperor, but took a trip to Asphodel and ended up like this hehe
my players no look: ||They don't know, chat. THEY DON'T KNOW.||
give me the deets
||She got the full noble and pretty version as a sort of "test ride" since they wanted to collect as many data. But when he found out everything that was going on, decided to strip most of it and humble it: not an emperor who walks among others, but king who protects those who cares the most, for them are the reason of his power|| Still subjecting some backstory stuff to testing, I am rewritting on the go heh
Give me 5 I'll write the extent!
No like Igf story spoilers right?
OH great!!!
Oh this is absolutely fire Bro
So far, the team is assembled, it includes:
"Thunderstruck" from the Karrakin, escaping from his noblehouse, aiming to pilot an "Emperor" frame
"Split" Mercenary betrayed and left to die on Mróz, saved by nomads living there, aiming to pilot "Tortuga" frame
"Chrysalis" designed to be the perfect killing machine, commando by excellence, aiming to pilot "Amber Phantom" frame
"Valiant" test subject for Nearlight Drive, got stranded after the jump went wrong and left him in calliope, aiming to pilot "Tagetes" frame
TOGETHER! ... they are a mess of freaks :> (Which I love)
hi im chrysalis
amber phantom instead of dusk wing eh?
are you planning on doing the .. emperor thing? i'm curious
I still have to finish stuffies on her backstory, but I like were I am going
Eruca and Chrysalis:
a player liked the playstyle of it... seems like it may happen haha
I'm dying rn.
SCOOB
OH GOD THIS IS GOLD
MY EARS CAN HEAR EVERYTHING
tbh me (and the character) are still divided between the 2. her favourite (and mine) is amber phantom, but dusk wing is always good to have around for specific missions
L+Ratio+didn't ask+get some bitches
this made me scream with laughter...
its very much golden brosky!!! Ya gotta hit me with further updates on the smole fella's doings
i thought siren and i turned off the intercom my b
-# still debating if i should give context to this...
anyways-
its funny cuz i can give the players perspective of hipo's campaign (as well as i can draw it! i have never drawn mechas but... i think i can do it :3)
i believe
i already have a drawing about my egregorian in her amber phantom sketched out hahahahha
Smol fella may not be in a campaign, but I'll wanna finish his backstory!
Mostly inspired from all the shared metavaults I've been opening and that everyone began sharing
So yeah, I need to finish the community child's backstory!
if I speak
Speak loud and true
oho?
I entirely feel ya on that
Jackson I had on my desk for a long while.
I typically build characters via threee or so foundation inspirations for Jackson it was
(Please team I might explode no lookie) ||Captain Murica/The clones from the Clone Wars/with a dash of imposter syndrome||
XD
Ohhh neat!
I can and will be willing to explain further but in dms Because I just know Imma fat finger my keys and send the paragraph or so stuff of sheer ideas into the public domain
In Golden Blorbo's
no u
Nah you shouldn't! You got good blorbo content yourself
Unnoficial name of this place(?)
should I post all the blorbo charts I filled in for my players' characters in my game just now?
in bolden same 
You should!
Two new blorbos!
FUCK, I closed the Paint before Saving ;-;
this chart further shows why ari and archie are bondmates
(ari doesn;t have art yet)
Oh! Valid
We only know about Ari is she is lithe and doesn't eat often. (Charlotte often makes lunch for her)
(its ironic since like half the party can draw pretty damn well, including ari's player)
also the terrifying prophecy (but I don't think you know about that in character yet)
Nope, it is surprise to me c:
she eats an acceptable amount for humans. everyone else is gluttonous
Feels there honestly
[Technically it's debatable if this is a spoiler for anything given how vague it is but it might be worth checking with your GM before looking just to be safe]||```THY SHADOWS STALK THY MIND, CHILD OF TERROR

hey Void is this a spoiler
Ah yes...
yes, do not read
No reading :c
alas
half of this chat can't read anyways
Hey!
-# even as a GM i'm having trouble understanding it...
... I mean it's true but still!
I know how to read
I had to for I can truly understand the scale and majesty of the Theodosian Walls
in fairness I am running a remix game so not all of it will necessarily make 100% sense outside of that context. Most of it can be interpreted to be about regular game events tho.
only half?
we're doing better than I thought then
like
sorry i can't read how many can't read
the walls at their greatest extent makes the Barb look smole
huh what are you saying here?
yes
damn
we've somehow looped back to the previous topic
wonderful imo hehe
no no, if I speak the mods will get me.
ADA IS ONE OF US
i shared a gif that disrupted everything i will dm it to you ada
you deserve to see
Okay, I did it. I got a thing!!!!
HAHAHA
I wish to hear your words even if you need to dm them rather than post publicly.
it truly is a brilliant gif
oh also if I say my words the bnuuy is gonna get me if the mods don't
im crying all over again
The simplicity is about the best Ill get after I accidentally closed once and deleted it at least 1 other time
itsa so funny
that can be arranged
heck yeah the blorbo! :D
-# ||THAT BRO WAS BUILT TO FUCK GET HIM OUT OF THE KITCHEN||
he seems kind :3
He is just some guy you know?
ADA BEHAVE
these slight image into whats going on is perhaps my favorite thing
I HAVEN'T EVEN SAID ANYTHING
Yet
Yet
Yet
-# Yet
||yet||
YET
I remain curious as to ada's as of yet unrevealed comments but alas I've already got ready for bed and therefore really must sleep. Nighty night all, get up to much chicanery in my absence.
Night Wren be Good brosky
I dm'd you like five minutes before this already tho
so I guess I have said something, just, y'know. not here.
is what you shared with me? if so, wise words
yes
woman of culture
It seems to be
see, I have no problem getting thirsty on main, I'm just also aware of potential consequences for that so you gotta get me somewhere that the mods and god cannot see
god averts its eyes from your presence, ada. it knows what you post
-# I'm so scared to ask what she sent...
I only said Humina once and it sent this chat into houndin for a fella known as Castle
Look, we love consequences
no don't get ada banned
we need story time 
If my comfort character gets banned Imma crash the fuck out
OUR CONSEQUENCES MAKE OUR STORYLINE /big jk
enough me spitting stupid shit-
Ada please don't-
okay but now I'm in a position where the longer I leave it on ada is typing... the funnier it is
its late and im possessed of idea while brain running on fumes so im going to pass that ball to ya'll before passing out
NHPs performing Your Idol, more unstable or egotistical the better
and with that
i can offer both
i actually don't think archie is that unstable
wagh
Wugh!
buh
I have to be the responsible one or we all get in trouble
nah nah nah, let archie be in control. trust me
wheres that from?
idk but damn it looks like 16 evasion moment
it looks like such lol
Black witches want to know your location
and white ones too, why not
... you know what? screw it
all witches
i was summoned
takes notes on summoning: this may come in handy!
Hm. Good to know.
you have the power to kill her
oh dear
ADA DON'T THINK ABOUT JULI RIGHT NOW

then the atoms broken
I honestly will follow... teleport my atoms to bed(?)
Nope, she's an Egregorian.
how rare are physical books in calliope
my PC's a librarian and i'm trying to figure out how bizarre having access to physical books would seem to other people
with HAIR?
was it just a limitation with picrew? because wow do i feel that
our far field squad member has a few along with serenity because of her foreign parent, but beyond that i could see a lot getting lost to time or suffering wear and tear
let egregorians have wigs smh
I wonder how many people have played as egregorians in IGF?
apparently a fuck ton
Because I think in all the time I’ve been here I’ve only heard of your character, Zemyla and naana’s
its literally a bingo spot
egregorians.....it is nearly 1 but what are those?
its the furry module of course people want to play non humans
Ah… I thought that meant any wallflower spoiler…
WE FOUND ONE
THE RARE LANCER PLAYER THAT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT EGREGORIANS ARE
dont laugh at me Im fragile
THE UNSPOILED ONE
can you take your knowledge and swap it with one of my wallflower players
egregorians are supposed to be a secret
I am Vacco
but i guess in 5016 they no longer are
There will no be no other Vacco
they're aliens, i could go into a lot more detail but they're aliens
their brain might explode from all the Byzantine empire trivia
haha wf ||no that's the bicameral alliance||
and their Exacting name was the Empire of Rhomania
yes Im gonna flavor the mobile Bunker as the "Theodosian Bastions" because I am a nerd
If you still want to know then I’ll type up at least what the core book tells you about them tomorrow
and went to college over this historical doin
YUS
i broke down what they were for naana the other day she was just like "i want to play moth :3"
perfectly reasonable reaction tbh
Meow is very mean
what the hell
ah
i am being nice for once
for once in my cruel chungus life
This is the nicest I’ve ever seen her
fuck my chungus egregorian life bro
the information has been absorbed
this is my gift in return: THe THEODOSIAN WALLS
I swear to god
If I run a wallflower for my current group I know in my heart that my brother will have this as his character’s core concept
juli there is a character who would probably say that in the module
the moth people are cool
Very cool
yeah cuthulu math and Moth people
most of them aren't even organic!
are there.... Any other aliens besides the moths and Cuthulu maths?
the crabs
there...... There are crabs?
why is everythin- Someone Spin Sprite
Vacco, I haven’t even told about the vent bees yet
eh
at least there arent spiders
thank you for the restraint on not posting images of Giant spiders that will seriously kill me
That's like my worst fear holy shit
Ur mum
NOOO PLEASE I'M JUST A LIL GUY I'M JUST A LIL BEAN JUST A SILLY SCRIMBLO PLEASE NO
Yeah
That’s what I thought
Only one who can call my momma a evil alien witch is me!

Thank you Seraph, I was in a daemon mood today
LAPPY
In the flesh code
"more romance" is ticked because I think people trying to flirt with him is hilarious even if he's most likely never gonna reciprocate anything
I can't not tick fruity boxes for Lap, I smell blueberries just looking at him
That's what this is about, right?
(said sidekick is... actually every nhp in the srt apparently)
no it's about gay vibes
No no this is definitely about ice cream flavor for sure...
lynk smells like some artificial extremely purple berry flavor but this is not what fruity refers to here 😔
Well in that case I have to tick significantly more boxes
-# (The last 4 statements were jokes)
I just noticed the "Hello, dearie.". Heh. Heheheh.
By Siegmar
Not IGF but I felt I was missingg out so here's my OSR and OWS character
he's just a silly little (german coded) guy
no little german boy, don't run into the middle of the enemy unsupported with only 4 heat cap!
real
doing my job right by successfully ticking off 'soft and sweet' and 'awful company' at the same time :D
In my first ggroup I also had a character who's character traits was german™
What a coincidence, so did we
its actually kind of incredible how he has simultaneously done basically nothing wrong ever and yet everyone still justifiably hates and mistrusts him for reasons outside of his control
That is a WILD sentence.
What did he not do so hard that people hate him?
I'll let gavine explain

for context Art is ||my character from Wren's first campaign, and suffers from flashbacks, deja vu and muscle memory from that timeline. He has managed to successfully break every major surviving relationship in his life by accident due to already knowing everyone's deepest secrets (they told him last time), because when he first returned to Hell's Gate he did not realise that they weren't the same people he knew before.||
oh shit
(in fairness I did have to step out for a bit in the middle of typing that)
Sorry if that came off snarky I was just waiting eagerly
nah it was deserved
It's a wig. WF spoilerish ||She's covering her osteomemetics, because she's blind to Witness and can't read them.||
to expand on this ||he was dug out of the bedrock of a million year old asteroid, on fire, along with his old mech and its cascading NHP. His memory of the previous timeline is fuzzy and often deliberately unhelpful (he knows spoilers only at the cost of additional astral stigmata). Not to mention that because Wren is running a remix game, events often proceed differently to how he remembers them. Returning to Hell's Gate, he found his friends at the SRT, along with his family, have ceased to exist, and none of the people who do still exist know who he is anymore. Striga thinks the time vampires got him, and he doesn't have a better explanation.||
oh no
he's so okay
I have an idea as to what might be going on and it is funny in a sad way
I offered up some theories but what is really going on is up to Wren. I can't wait to find out :D
Well, considering he was ||found in a million year old asteroid, on fire|| and that he ||is canonically from a previous timeline|| which, since you said ||was a previous campaign from Wren||, I am going to assume ||the SRT did not manage to reach the end||, meaning that ||the cult won|| and consequently ||Feather managed to reset the universe|| but in doing so ||changed absolutely nothing|| and it just ||cycles back to where it was before with some very minor changes||. Which is the part that I would find funny in a sad way.
The identity of ||the cascading NHP he was found with|| might help to confirm or deny the theory.
Assuming that ||reseting the timeline as many times as possible until something else happens|| was actually ||feather's real plan|| of course
How do you like my SCP article writing skills
Leo
What the fuck
Hi Dragon
Why would you do that
Do what
That
Write? I write all the time
I thought it would be funny
Curse you
what does flavor container mean actually
my interpretation is it means that their character design or vibe fucks severely
I just took "Flavor container" as "full of flavor" and therefore full of vibes, yeah, as gavstar put it
I gotta resist reading this now 😂
How far did you get in IGF so far
chapter 3 last time, we've just started 2 now. I have bought Act 1 and read Act 2 though so I'm pretty spoiled as far as the story goes
I specifically didn't read chapter 4 of act 1 though at the request of our DM
Hmm
I'd ask Wren if you can click then but I don't think it contains any more spoilers than you are aware of. It's just me speculating based on what you've said.
ah cool
Dw my player is illiterate
I've been really enjoying playing him so far as he slowly comes to terms with what happened to him and losing his entire support network. Ironically at the start of chapter 2 he is finally starting to be in a good place again, while the rest of the party are busy crashing out due to the end of chapter 1
yeah you can read that gavin.
oh for anyone coming late for this chat feel free to read my spoilers unless you are a fellow player in Wren's game
Don't worry I've been here less than a week and I read every single spoiler
Not regretting it so far
good lord
👀
Good morning Calliope!
Morning too!
morning bunbun
Morning Wren!
||the 'on fire' part is partially due to stress damage and partially due to the cascade. The mech was themed after a dragon and the resident NHP was really into that role. However, none of that necessarily means our resident birb wasn't involved||
What am I reading an SCP Foundation entry?
Yes
||FILLER FILLER|| amogus ||FILLER FILLER|| genitals destroyed
or something its been a while since I saw the meme
Most certainly
Thank you meow
Wait lmao you were already talking about it i didn't scroll down yet 
It's fine who are we to stop you from being a cat and a parrot 
... a Carrot?
I'd look hot as a ginger. Sure, why not
Would that be any different than usual?
Bunny with the carrot, what will she do
Bunzi no you're not supposed to eat other people's hair!
Carrot hair
you're bald now meow, you know what that means...
Northernlion mention?
aw ye, ear pets
What 1d3+1 damage feels like
what hitting with reliable 1 every single time must feel
Woe, armory upon ye
Lucero: "Armory Deez-" proceeds to overshield tf out
They weren't kidding, that design really do be superior
Emperor's be like
Just don't get hit
One of my players may be going emperor
Themperor
Of anything I did not expect John McDriver to be the support emperor player, but also the player that has made 30 builds since we started playing being the wildcard makes perfect sense
Ah, one of those. Let me know how that goes once you hit LL2
Serenity was going to pilot like 5 different mechs before Eleonor forced the sunzi into my hands
krkrkr
What
never heard the pencil sharpener laugh before?
Not typed out, no
i guess hr would make more sense but
Our squad in wren's game may go by a french name btw
I hope I am able to run chapter 2 properly, it's much less straightforward than chapter 1
sacrebleu
You can funny cat man, i believe
Squad name idea: "Les Diableries"
Or maybe just Diableries
We only have one squad member who does not identify as a problem and she pilots a wizard mech and has some kind of space magic bullshit
Charlotte...
Its a rowdy bunch
got the bunni Speechless
Is she a magus
Damn
-# gay gay homosexual gay
That's a much better reaction than i expected...
-# i was prepared to be full-body dropkicked into blinkspace
lol
now be prepared for! ... well, omninet binge watching
of a series ACTUALLY filmed in Calliope
Impossible!!!!
"You tell me your production team didn't spend trillions of manna to make sets that are nothing like Calliope?!"
"THAT YOU ACTUALLY WENT TO FILM THERE?!"
They are now trapped there
it took 6 years of pre-production to even get there
All just part of the job
filmin's a good job mate
work outdoors, lotta work..
you will go hungry though sorry about that, that's just calliope
I hope you like printloaf
mmmmmm loaf
Unsolicited Eruca fact: she cannot stomach printloaf and has a habit of eating veggies straight out of the hydroponics beds like some sort of weirdo
Don't worry, I think no one could stand printloaf from more than a day
Have I ever told you about Morgan
oh dear god-
This man will eat printloaf and ventcrab and cannot stomach spices
he's got that bri'ish gut biome /J
"No you don't understand, I took him to dinner once but he has trouble eating anything tastier than printloaf. Says it's too spicy. Are you fucking kidding? That's called PEPPER you damn reprobate. Genuine sociopath I'm pretty sure. Who actually eats printloaf and VENTCRAB?"
This man is so white
Even his hair is white
even his fave colour is white
heck, now I'm thinking of Muse/Omninet dramas popular in calliope
Good question indeed
-# Myself? I need to think of a boyband/girlband in icebreaker borealis. Something that got popular
Every few decades someone adapts the story of the pirate yuri between Marika Wren and Lin Zhihao
Quite popular among lancer pilots
Man don’t bring up pirates, I’ve been so wanting to do a dnd or something campaign
For then I can use this video
and there are never ending flamewars on the muse whether the more toxic dramatic ones or the fluffy comedic ones were more true to life
hehe, flame wars...
Eternal flame wars
In Golden Flamewars
No that is both our "from a different reality wholesome twink" and "totally not a murderous girlfailure nun"
The most fire yuri
Pov sunzi got hands
sunzi with Brawler 3
Excuse me?
I hardly know her 3
What part do you not understand
You
I hardly know her too but I support Sunzi now
We have two people who are taking magus
But also I don't remember the "from a different reality" and "murderous girlfailure nun"
And its not Charlotte
Art and Ariadne
double the funni...
I thought that was in JDT
No we are normal
Riiiiight
The JDT is exceedingly normal
Riiiiiiight
Comparing the two games is hilarious
Leviathan is also normal
Truly?
Truly
Truly!
🇱 🇾 ⁉️
Aren’t we all?
Bro we have a fucking voladore bunny, an evil nun who killed someone in her sect, a twink from another reality, another twink who is a hybrid of 3 different NHPs, and someone right out of medieval germany. The most normal person is the depressed hell hound with a fucking chain saw
The JDT is normal compared to that
x2
is she at all related to the faith
A medieval German?!?!?
That one doesn't surprise me
No, she's aunic
aw
damn
Imma need details here
But she has some kind of relation to the faith 
ah
Idk much other than that, its all she told me and Archie was like "hell yeah"
What a shame, I thought Morgan was gonna have a heretic buddy...
I beleive there is a show completely based off Calliope but they don't film it in Calliope
Ariadne didn't kill that old woman she is just prophecised to do so
The life incandescent.
She should kill her
I’m still just curious on the medieval German lol
I think there's a mention about one!
Oh yeah, bro is just a langzknect
He's not actually he just acts like it. He's a kaiju hunting mercenary
Currently looking for the kaiju vent crab
Ahhhh
Mood kindred
I was curious because if there’s a way then I could so bring in a Byzantine whom uses a Genghis mech lol
I forgot if i said it here already but Kaiju vent crabs are canon in my games...
For his downtime, one of my players went "Imma look for vent crabs" and rolled two nat 20s in a row...
So now he's personal friends with a size 2 vent crab monarch...
like, king crab, or missile platform crab?
Charlotte is to used to the idea giving others attention and affection
We need Siegmar to fight a kaiju vent crab it would make his life
I don’t know if void will have kaju vent crab but we do at the least have a Great Dane sized vent crab
Great Dane sized for now...

literally this
Turns out the station of hells gate is a shell for the omega vent crab
-# the giga crab is a bottom??!?
Banned
Always has been

Archie probably sees vent crabs as kindred spirits and likes them more than humans because they always pilot a crab mech
@ancient crag Davis' calmest shift on hell's gate
You don’t understand
Amelia Earhart core
Vince is a menace and broke the printer
THE PRINTER IS BROKEN?!
Luz: "No no... I get it" She also is the reason the printer is broken
Vent crabs 😌
To be fair, all my players decided they played a hand in the printer breaking.
Needless to say I don't own halo or red vs blue or absolutely nothing, just took some fun footage and cropt it together.
It's about the unfolding of what made the ship crash, enjoy.
Eruca accidentally sent one massive order of 10,000 complex parts instead of simply adding them into the que
If I recal it was
Eruca putting in to many requests in a massive document.
Anastasia taking a break and plugging in her data slate to charge it.
Jackson getting into a boxing match with Vine the Vent Crab and he snipped a loose wire.
Cel working on a bad vent above the printer and the husk of a vent crab that got stuck in it fell into it no where to be found.
Luck placed a faulty document for mech replacement parts.
This all led to the printer breaking.
The printer after all that:
Before Jerry called them all to his Office Eruca packed all her bags fully expecting to be kicked out
oh god haha
Good thing jerry has the biggest heart of em all :>
Self Defense Crab
Nah that crab is purely aggressive
My players were not very creative on what broke the printer
When i asked them my Nestoran anime protagonist simply said "I chucked a grenade at it"
BTW, I call him an anime protagonist because [POST CH1] ||after he got a face full of trauma from FEATHER's casket he steeled his resolve and leaned fully into the "I must fight GOD and win" bit||
Follow up spoiler ||Peered into the flames of the abyss and saw a reason to fight||
wonderful
[GM SPOILER] ||He also said it "left a mark on him" so I might have an excuse to give him an exotic NHP later...||
||Imagine if you will... A Tokugawa with a MARDUK-class buddy...||
I don't want to be in the range of it's sensors
Scared
Primo removed vital copper wiring that was "not important" to "make it better" to use for a personal project
Whattup calliope it ya gorl
fun fact at one point we had a size 2 Custom Ultra Monstrosity with a Short-Cycle Lance named GIGACRAB in act 2
Stream is up!
Whattup witchy white girl
Post chapter 4/ Chapter 5 spoilers
Classic copper stealing hehe
||The dragon has teeth!||
Technically primo broke the printer twice when he printed his pegasus but... It didn't happen. The pegasus rewtote that timeline
Added ||Strafing run for shits and gigs||
We fought it to the death in the printer room and then it was suddenly just sitting there and primo walked in like "oh! My mech is done!"
Wren game spoilers || archie may break the printer/the systems of hells gate printing the gorgon||
Poor printer needs a rest at this point-
Since Archie with iconoclast can fry systems only fitting that their mech can too
Wonderful heh
One day
Love will find you
I’ll be able to read these spoilers lol
break those chains that bind you~
-# i thought we were singing journey songs
I didn’t realize we were. Singing
Sorry it grabs me sometimes
I'll see something that vaguely looks like a song lyric I know and just rattle on
This is the second time chat's started singing Separate Ways lmao
Am I tripping, or was this the chat where someone posted hte "world is a fuck" but hope maxxing meme?
pretty sure, yeah
To be fair, tell me Separate ways isn't a peak Calliope song for pilots to have on blast
I MUST FIND IT
yesterday, maybe day before. You knnow. over 1000 posts ago.
so.. like an hour
Yus
I unmuted #lancer-general to test the hypothesis that we're more active and so far it isn't even close
(in our favor)
(if you can call that a favor)
IGF community stays winning
If any other channel here yapped mroe then i did i would be pissed
Oh it me!
it you

Despit- damn you Juli you beat me to it
Do y'all think Maximum Threat is too much for igf?
I was thinking of putting the Super template onto [CHAPTER 5 SPOILERS] ||Andros Capella to make him even stronger||
||What's it do||
||Dms||
It is a stronger Ultra long story short
and i think with 6 players (possibly more with friendly npcs) i need to buff some stuff
Oog
||It looks wild, like if regulated sure it won't be much worse than a regular ultra...||
||Also phase change is funny because it can be stopped by a fucking grapple lmao||
Honestly real
||I just need a little extra oomph to make Andros fucking terrifying. Granted i'm sure Wendigo's corpse will help him aura farm||
||Boost to t2 can work||
The spoilers
the voices are strong
Peak muse profile
O shit a new message was pinned in this channel
FUNNY YOU SHOULD POST THIS BECAU-
also if it's not inconvenient can you change this to "Al's map pack" just cos I don't use that username here
I feel like someone plays this during a youtube video talking about the module with flashes of the combats that are to come
||Anti-Capital, ERROR, Lift the Veil||
UNFUCK THIS HOUSE
Wa-wat
Bunzi hasn't mentioned it yet but the first mission is this campaign it literally titled that
I got u
Thank
started to prepare my character :3 my idea is to get an amber phantom later on
-# if theres some build recommendations id love to hear them :3
I'm also going amber phantom for my PC so i'd be happy to share some advice
There is also an amber phantom in the game I play Char in
any advice is welcome !! :3 first time i ever build a lancer character
We flavor it as the catgirl links up to Char's witness ability once and decided to trust Union to make something akin to it by act 2 start. Cyber newtype
Chomolungma? based
yeah, I was about to say something like that
An Everest would play a bit closer to how an amber phantom would later on
I take it you want to be a close range melee hacker regarding your talents?
Secondhand Hope goes hard as a mech name. Love the callsign too. Personally I don't care much for builds, but I'm more interested in what the character is like. What's the concept, backstory? How did they come to calliope and end up on the SRT?
hmm tbh im very divided between the 2
Chomolungma is more of a controller though you should never underestimate how hard a simple charge blade and tacknife can hit
yeah, the idea of my character is a SSC commando, so someone that was trained to go kill targets solo and survive. no idea if it works, tho hahah
That's also my planned playstyle for my PC Eruca 
well if you wanna survive, hull is always good 
probably will help more than 1 more evasion
speaking of there appears to be something wrong with your stats, a choomy with 1 agi should have 9 evasion not 10
Eruca in her mech has indeed been described as like a god damn jaguar
never underestimate how much 4 extra hp could help you
U no stupid
Hmm, personally I would swap out to an Everest as it has much more potential to be a front liner fighter. I would suggest looking into the infiltrator talent as well for the whole hide and stab combo idea
No, I'm stupid
To be fair, Athena made my favorite Chomolungma build of heatgunner hacker and it's glorious to see
Athena is perhaps the scariest person in a mech rn
the elite melter...
282 new messages
I saw a new player run a pankrati knife build with chomo that would prone enemies and then stab them
It was surprisingly effective
which is very funny because, since I read all your backstories, Anastasia is the most "Just some girl" out of the lot of you but here she is doing code breaking enemies
Jane Lancer type shit
Every time i wanna play a "just some guy" character i always do too much
Serenity is kind of just some girl but ended up becoming the damn squad commander
When does something stop qualifying as "just some guy/girl/enby"
magus bond
I wanna play a character that just sits back and chills I'm just a proactive gremlin
I feel that! I keep trying to make evil characters but then I get the option to like “pet the doggo or ignore the doggo” and I cave every time ;-;
ok listen
you don't have to shoot me that fast
You can be evil and still like dogs
dogs are more lovable than humans
Evil guy who is always with a pet dog
What's the point of being evil if you don't have someone you'll burn the world for
Exactly
I have played one character who was unapolegitacally evil but that's a one time thing
David was... special
was he... spooky?
No he was evil
I only ever had 1 kinda evil character and his name was Varziken, a 2000 year old fallen aasimar
I can't play just evil characters. I like characters with evil attributes; being selfish, maniacal, shortsighted, etc, but never outright "i want this character to be evil"
it was for an evil campaign, so
Everyone else was going in with complex motives and plans and all that, I just went in with "This is david, he sweats poison and hates people, he's also gonna be your doctor"
Everyone else in the group was so scared of him they picked up poison immunity charms just in case. Including the lich.
