Date Host Topic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 04.28 Ceit New Character Manager and Reallocation! The first part of the overall reallocation is just around the corner! At the Reality Cafe at 9:00 pm EST, Ceit will be providing information about what is going to be changing for new characters, as well as what you can expect when going through the first stage of your character's reallocation. Ceit Galbraith steps out of the shadows. Ceit Galbraith asks, "Looks like it's about time to start, eh?" Ceit Galbraith says, "Tonight, I get to talk with y'all about the new Character Manager." Ceit Galbraith grins. Ceit Galbraith says, "Now, I don't get credit for much of this. 99% of it should go to Siri. All I did was to add a few bells and whistles." Siri Macallan ducks her head. Siri Macallan says, "That's including any stuff y'all hate too." Siri Macallan winks. Nina Perrson says, "in other words, anything that goes wrong, blame siri... got it" Rebekah Taylor grins. Siri Macallan nods to Nina Perrson. Ceit Galbraith laughs! Ceit Galbraith says, "Nope, actually, if anything goes wrong, blame me, because I was supposed to make sure." Ceit Galbraith says, "But everything very cool about it is all Siri's." Rebekah Taylor says, "So then she can fuss at the rest of us" Kain Skylord says, "I'll blame both of ya" Kain Skylord grins. Rebekah Taylor hums a tune softly to herself. Gage Blackwoode says, "Don't worry, I'm sure there will be plenty of blame to go around for things that probably won't even be avoidable." Gage Blackwoode nods. Jon Garfield chuckles. Ceit Galbraith says, "The character manager reallocation is the first phase of the entire reallocation. There's a lot that will happen with this reallocation, some of which will be very cool for right now, some of which won't come into effect until after the future reallocation and skill changes." Ceit Galbraith says, "A lot of you have always wanted to be able to have more options for hairstyles, hair colors, eye colors, skin types..." Ceit Galbraith says, "These are all going to be available with the new character manager." Ceit Galbraith says, "We didn't want to make it so that only new players get to have all of these perks though...so you'll have the opportunity to visit the plastic surgeon and get a pretty thorough makeover." Ceit Galbraith says, "You'll be able to go through once, and only once." Siri Macallan says, "Nip here. Tuck there." Siri Macallan whistles a cheerful tune. Jon Garfield winces expressively. Bryan Hit chuckles. Grace McPhee pokes at her thighs. Grace McPhee smiles at Siri Macallan. Ceit Galbraith says, "Put y'all in the good 'ol stretching machine, grow a couple inches." Kain Skylord says, "Thats always fun" Kain Skylord nods. Angela Bond asks, "Can we shrink?" Angela Bond whimpers. Ransom Blackhawk grins at Kara McLoud. Grace McPhee grins at Angela Bond. Ceit Galbraith says, "Ayup, you can shrink." Mariko Shinobu raises her hand. Ceit Galbraith grins. Angela Bond gets an excited expression on her face and lets out a hearty cheer. Kain Skylord says, "Eeh..7 feet.." Shelby Mackenzie says, "Sounds painful." Kain Skylord grins at Angela Bond. Angela Bond says, "What can I say? I ate all my vegetables.." Kain Skylord says, "Heh" Ceit Galbraith says, "In fact, the heights that will actually correlate with "tall" "short" "very tall", etc. are a bit more realistic now." Ceit Galbraith says, "You will have the opportunity to choose a specific height if you'd rather, though." Kurta Debruno says, "Im already confused" Kurta Debruno grins. Ceit Galbraith says, "So if you like being 7 foot tall, you can still do so." Angela Bond shudders. Gage Blackwoode grins. Siri Macallan nods. Hans Sarber chuckles. Joy Charles asks, "like five foot, three and seven eighths inches?" Ceit Galbraith asks, "Mariko, you have a question?" Mariko Shinobu nods. Mariko Shinobu asks, "Will change of erm.. How do I say it.. born athletic level be changeable?" Mariko Shinobu ducks her head. Jon Kurtz puts his bat in his leather satchel. Angela Bond giggles at Joy Charles. Ceit Galbraith says, "Well, maybe not quite that specific, Joy. Five foot three you could do." Ceit Galbraith grins. Joy Charles snaps her fingers. Joy Charles grins. Ceit Galbraith says, "Yep, that'll be able to be tweaked as well. It's a very good plastic surgeon." Mariko Shinobu beams happily. Kain Skylord asks, "Jeeze..what does he use, black magics?" Kain Skylord grins. Mariko Shinobu asks, "What about ethnicity?" Ceit Galbraith says, "Only the best here on Morada." Mariko Shinobu asks, "Will that be a factor?" Siri Macallan asks, "Skin tones, you mean?" Siri Macallan asks, "Or country of birth?" Siri Macallan says, "Skin tones, yes." Siri Macallan says, "Country of birth is still an RP factor only." Jon Kurtz raises his hand. Mariko Shinobu asks, "Well, I know we can be dark or pale, but well there be any different indicators to where a pale person is caucasian or mexican?" Amanda Hunter says, "unless you managed to hold on to your passport" Siri Macallan shakes her head. Amanda Hunter stares dejectedly at the ground as she scuffs at it with her foot. Siri Macallan asks, "Besides your name?" Mariko Shinobu nods. Siri Macallan says, "Nope." Mariko Shinobu says, "I think my name's enough." Jon Garfield asks, "What about the country as stated on our passport? And speaking of which, do we get new passports?" Mariko Shinobu shuts up now. Kain Skylord grins. Siri Macallan says, "No, no new passports." Ceit Galbraith smiles. Siri Macallan says, "They're soon going to become collectors items." Jon Garfield nods. Grace McPhee asks, "Collecters items?" Ceit Galbraith says, "A few things that you won't be able to change through this reallocation are your age, gender and name." Siri Macallan says, "In so far as the tutorial as we know know it is going kaput." Angela Bond says, "Name? Aw, man" Angela Bond snaps her fingers. Grace McPhee nods to Siri Macallan. Gage Blackwoode asks, "Gender?" Gage Blackwoode snaps his fingers. Angela Bond grins at Gage Blackwoode. Gage Blackwoode grins. Grace McPhee cackles gleefully. Bryan Hit asks, "dang....i can't regress?" Mariko Shinobu says, "But I always wanted to be a mexican male midget." Mariko Shinobu sobs. Bryan Hit pouts. Gage Blackwoode begins chuckling at Mariko Shinobu. Angela Bond begins laughing at Mariko Shinobu! Meda Fyre agrees with Mark Grant. Tyler Morrison smiles at Kelsey Landon. Siri Macallan says, "No, but after skill reallocation you can age if you want." Angela Bond says, "I wanted to be both. Hmph." Meda Fyre blinks. Angela folds her arms. Siri Macallan says, "It's hard to be Peter Pan." Bryan Hit asks, "really?" Grace McPhee giggles. Mark Grant stands back up. Luca Santiago asks, "oooh we can age?" Mariko Shinobu says, "Those evil tights." Luca Santiago exclaims, "neat!" Meda Fyre says, "Ooh..." Joy Charles asks, "if we want?" Kain Skylord says, "Aging? Eww." Kain Skylord grins. Siri Macallan says, "ONLY if you want." Bryan Hit asks, "grey hair and all?" Jon Kurtz shudders. Siri Macallan says, "It's an RP thing." Ceit Galbraith says, "You won't be able to get younger, but you can get older." Jon Garfield asks, "Can we turn off the aging if we reach a certain age we like?" Meda Fyre snaps her fingers. Siri Macallan says, "So if you want to say young forever, you're welcome to." Siri Macallan says, "Nope." Jon Kurtz raises his hand for a question. Siri Macallan says, "You'll either age, or not." Jon Garfield nods. Amanda Hunter asks, "how quick do you age?" Angela Bond asks, "How often would we age?" Siri Macallan says, "Though you will have the choice to add to your current age ONCE." Courtney Chisolm asks, "If we age, will our skills be affected as we become senior citizens?" Siri Macallan says, "No." Siri Macallan says, "Age and skills will not be tied anymore." Courtney Chisolm nods. Mariko Shinobu applauds. Siri Macallan says, "Though age and physical properties will be." Siri Macallan says, "At least some of them." Kain Skylord nods. Ceit Galbraith asks, "Jon Kurtz, have a question?" Ceit Galbraith smiles at Jon Kurtz. Jon Kurtz nods. Jon Kurtz says, "G'day! Two quick questions" Jon Kurtz asks, "I missed the first 15 minutes, so forgive me if this has been asked already, but will all these changes be available to those who were here BEFORE reallocation?" Ceit Galbraith nods to Jon Kurtz. Jon Kurtz asks, "And secondly, will profession have any impact on our skills?" Ceit Galbraith says, "Well, when the skill reallocation is complete in the future, professions won't affect skills." Mariko Shinobu raises her hand. Ceit Galbraith says, "No changes to the skills will be done through this reallocation." Jon Kurtz asks, "So, in theory, one can be a doctor and have the same fighting skills as a secret agent after this thing is done with us?" Ceit Galbraith smiles. Siri Macallan says, "This is just going to be outward appearance and some physical stats." Jon Kurtz nods to Siri Macallan. Courtney Chisolm asks, "Are we all going to come in one day and have to choose whether to go through the CM or can we watch our friends experiment?" Ceit Galbraith says, "You'll have the choice of whether you want to go visit the plastic surgeon or not." Rain Beringer asks, "Is it a one time choice?" Siri Macallan says, "No." Grace McPhee asks, "When is the magician stopping by?" Siri Macallan says, "You can go through, but once you do, you're done." Luca Santiago asks, "Will you get a chance to approve your new look before everything is final?" Siri Macallan says, "If you chose not to immediately, you can go through at a later time, but there's no real benefit in waiting ..." Ceit Galbraith nods to Luca Santiago. Siri Macallan says, "And you lose out on some other things which are being added if you don't." Mariko Shinobu raises her hand. Ceit Galbraith grins at Siri Macallan. Ceit Galbraith exclaims, "Great lead in!" Siri Macallan grins. Ceit Galbraith says, "There are other things other than the outward appearances that will be added/changed in this reallocation." Ceit Galbraith says, "Your current attributes are strength, vitality, and dexterity." Ceit Galbraith says, "Along with these will be agility, intellect, mentality, and perception." Kain Skylord says, "Oh great, I'll be stupid" Kain Skylord grins. Gage Blackwoode grins. Gage Blackwoode exclaims, "Woohoo, more stats!" Mariko Shinobu asks, "And what are those affected by?" Ceit Galbraith says, "If y'all would like, you can type NEWINFO to see an example of what INFO will look like." newinfo You are Mary Johnson, Age: 27. Your profession is a Detective, Level: 1. You stand at 5 feet, 9 inches tall. You have a muscular build and you appear to be well toned. You have rosy skin, long wavy black hair, and hazel eyes. Your attributes are: Agility: 45 Dexterity: 58 Intellect: 68 Mentality: 60 Perception: 78 Strength: 48 Vitality: 53 Kurta Debruno says, "ew" Mariko Shinobu says, "My, my eyes changed color so quickly." Jon Kurtz says, "Since when do I 'ave rosy skin" Nina Perrson exclaims, "i'm mary johnson!" Joy Charles says, "ick..Muscular Mary" Jon Kurtz chuckles. Nina Perrson cackles gleefully. Gage Blackwoode grins. Ceit Galbraith says, "This isn't you. It's a fictional character." Ceit Galbraith smiles. Kurta Debruno says, "oh..i thought those we my stats" Mariko Shinobu grins. Kurta Debruno grins. Hans Sarber grins at Nina Perrson. Jon Kurtz says, "This fictional character must not have many friends" Jon Kurtz chuckles. Mariko Shinobu gives up on raising her hand before it breaks off. Joy Charles sighs with relief. Kurta Debruno says, "my strength was a little too low for myy taste" Siri Macallan asks, "Mariko?" Ceit Galbraith says, "If you don't go through the reallocation, though, these new stats will be zero. That's one of the perks of visiting the plastic surgeon." Mariko Shinobu beams happily. Mariko Shinobu says, "I'm sure this's been asked TONS of times, but this is the first reallocation forum I've gone too, so bear with me. When will the first reallocation be completed? And the total reallocation process be finished? Some idea at all? "I'm sure this's been asked TONS of times, but this is the first reallocation forum I've gone too, so bear with me. When will the first reallocation be completed? And the total reallocation process be finished? Some idea at all? " Mariko Shinobu says, "Ack, I said it twice." Mariko Shinobu sobs. Ichiko Daiumi pets Mariko Shinobu in a patronizing manner. Kurta Debruno says, "heh" Mariko Shinobu makes a note to murder herself later. Grace McPhee comforts Mariko Shinobu. Bryan Hit grins at Mariko Shinobu. Siri Macallan says, "This is the first reallocation anyone in Modus has been through." Mariko Shinobu seems ashamed. Meda Fyre comforts Mariko Shinobu. Mariko Shinobu says, "Oh." Mariko Shinobu ducks her head. Ceit Galbraith says, "This phase should be ready within less than a month." Mariko Shinobu nods. Siri Macallan says, "As Trevor said last week, we're not giving a hard and fast date for skills, but we're aiming for September for that be completed." Rain Beringer raises her hand. Joy Charles says, "so we have to pick what all those new attirbutes are? " Siri Macallan says, "No, the attributes are generated automatically." Rain Beringer asks, "Will we be able to alter each of those items individually or will it be a pick how muscular and its decided for you kind of thing?" Joy Charles nods to Siri Macallan. Rain Beringer nods. Siri Macallan says, "But you'll be able to raise most of them by doing stuff." Siri Macallan says, "Some are fixed." Nina Perrson asks, "are they like GS rolls where you can keep rolling until you get the ones you like?" Nina Perrson ducks her head. Kelsey Landon asks, "So we can visit the magic man in late June?" Hans Sarber pokes Nina Perrson in the ribs. Siri Macallan says, "No." Nina Perrson says, "drat" Joy Charles grins at Nina Perrson. Gage Blackwoode asks, "That's one point that has been rather neglected through out, in this new skill format skills will be able to be increased by using them a lot, correct?" Siri Macallan says, "Most of them are based on what you choose for you body type, etc, and some of your current skills." Gage Blackwoode nods. Jon Garfield asks, "Like evasion affects your initial agility?" Gage Blackwoode says, "I mean the actual skills, not the attributes.." Siri Macallan says, "Skills we covered last week, but if you have questions on skill reallocation we can talk about it after this forum, or you can drop a note to Trevor at MO-Trevor@play.net." Grace McPhee just hugged Ami Stuart. Siri Macallan says, "I want to stick to CMgr stuff tonight." Kurta Debruno says, "I gotta go do something because im not really understanding this..if anything important happens...im on the radio" Gage Blackwoode nods. Gage Blackwoode smiles. Ami Stuart just hugged Grace McPhee. Hans Sarber asks, "How will issues like intelligence be calculated? I think I read somewhere that this will be fixed. Any into you can provide there?" Grace McPhee asks, "Are haircuts possible with the new CM?" Hans Sarber says, "info, rather." Siri Macallan says, "Yes to Grace ..." Grace McPhee smiles at Siri Macallan. Siri Macallan says, "I'm trying to remember what Intelligence was based off of. I believe it's several different skills as well as a random roll." Hans Sarber nods. Ceit Galbraith says, "Intellect will have a random factor, and age will also be a factor." Ceit Galbraith says, "However, that doesn't mean that it's better to be 120...you may start having a harder time remembering things at 120 than you did at 50." Ceit Galbraith grins. Hans Sarber says, "I don't mind the physical stuff once I no longer have to hunt. But I kinda like the idea of taking on the 'old wise man' role." Hans Sarber begins chuckling at Ceit Galbraith. Siri Macallan says, "Intellect is not just intelligence." Mariko Shinobu asks, "Was there ever an answer to how quick we'd age?" Siri Macallan says, "Intellect is more both intelligence and wisdom. More like how fast you can process information or learning." Hans Sarber nods to Siri Macallan. Siri Macallan says, "Once a year, Mariko." Mariko Shinobu nods. Ceit Galbraith says, "Another thing that will be affected during the trip through the reallocation process will be the way BP's are calculated." Siri Macallan says, "This is the biggie." Jon Garfield asks, "On the anniversary of the reallocation, or can we pick a birthday?" Siri Macallan says, "I'm going to try to make it so that you can pick your birthday, Jon." Nina Perrson grins. Jon Garfield nods. Grace McPhee smiles. Siri Macallan says, "On to BodyPoints." Ceit Galbraith says, "Every new tourist will start with 42 BP's. As they gain levels, their BP's will increase. The increase will be 2 BP's per level through level 25. Then, they will increase 1 BP per level through level 100. After that, the BP's will increase one every other level." Nina Perrson gets an excited expression on her face and lets out a hearty cheer. Ami Stuart says, "ok now thats cool" Siri Macallan says, "This is so everyone's BPs are the same." Nina Perrson seems to agree! Hans Sarber grins at Nina Perrson. Ami Stuart bounces around happily. Ceit Galbraith says, "So, when you go through the character manager, your current level will be taken into account and your new BP's will be calculated at that time." Siri Macallan says, "Right now it's totally screwed up." Hans Sarber agrees with Siri Macallan. Kain Skylord asks, "Whats bps?" Hans Sarber chuckles. Siri Macallan says, "BodyPoints." Mariko Shinobu blinks. Kain Skylord says, "Oh" Rain Beringer dies way to easily. Kain Skylord says, "Heh" Mariko Shinobu says, "That'll get me the exact same BP I have now." Mariko Shinobu snickers. Ichiko Daiumi gets a distant look on her face as she ponders. Ichiko Daiumi nods to Mark Grant. Ichiko Daiumi says, "Me too, Mariko.." Mark Grant just tickled Ichiko Daiumi. Siri Macallan says, "Most SAs and PIs may lose some." Jon Garfield says, "No kidding" Jon Garfield chuckles. Siri Macallan says, "Most everyone else will gain." Mariko Shinobu sobs. Mariko Shinobu says, "But I'm already only 64." Mariko's jaw drops. Nina Perrson asks, "it's not based on body type?" Ceit Galbraith looks over at Nina Perrson and shakes her head. Siri Macallan says, "Nope." Nina Perrson says, "my BPs are pathetic, and i'm a SA" Nina Perrson laughs! Siri Macallan says, "It's based on level only." Courtney Chisolm frowns. Mariko Shinobu is going to die if it goes lower than 64. Courtney Chisolm says, "Mine will be less than half what they are now." Kain Skylord says, "If my bps drop alot, it'll be pointless" Hans Sarber says, "Yeah, but you won't have level 1 SAs who have 3 times what you have." Hans Sarber grins at Courtney Chisolm. Rain Beringer says, "your bps drop but there will be new perps so it will al even out" Ichiko Daiumi says, "42, plus 2 times 20..that'll give me 82, and I have 84 now" Shalie MacIntosh says, "Whoa I'll lose 40 bp's...eeek" Rebekah Taylor says, "Remember, perps will not stay the same either" Siri Macallan nods to Rainbow Rogers. Siri Macallan says, "Wrong Rain." Siri Macallan nods to Rain Beringer. Rainbow Rogers grins. Rain Beringer grins at Siri Macallan. Rebekah Taylor says, "It'll all level out" Kain Skylord says, "I'll get tapped on the shoulder and die" Courtney Chisolm says, "Shalie, I lose 106." Courtney Chisolm winks at Shalie MacIntosh. Shalie MacIntosh shudders. Kain Skylord falls over. Mariko Shinobu asks, "Will my BP go to like, 10 because I'm a level 11 with 64 bp?" Mariko Shinobu sniffles. Siri Macallan says, "And you'll gain as you go up in levels." Kain Skylord says, "I'm level 5 with 132 bps" Ichiko Daiumi smiles at Shelby Mackenzie. Kain Skylord jumps up excitedly. Siri Macallan says, "Everone starts at 42 + 1-2/level based on what that level is." Mariko Shinobu says, "Whew." Trixie smiles and hands a brownie to Kain Skylord. Siri Macallan asks, "Ceit want to say that again about how they start and how they go up?" Nina Perrson says, "that's brilliant" Kain Skylord takes a bite of his fudge brownie. Nina Perrson lets out a deep sigh of contentment that seems to come from the depth of her soul. Ceit Galbraith says, "Sure thing" Siri Macallan says, "Everyone listen carefully." Ceit Galbraith smiles. Siri Macallan grins. Courtney Chisolm leans forward. Ceit Galbraith says, "When a character is created, brand new, they'll start with 42 BP's." Joy Charles listens carefully. You see a dark form in the corner of your eye, and turn to see GameMaster Trevor Rage heading toward you. He taps his shades a bit further back on the bridge of his nose and smiles slightly. Ichiko Daiumi cringes. Mark Grant smiles at Trevor Rage. Jon Garfield quickly draws away from Trevor Rage. Ceit Galbraith says, "Each time they train up for the next level, they'll get additional points. " Bryan Hit waves to Trevor Rage. Mariko Shinobu cowers away from Trevor Rage! Mariko Shinobu says, "Scaring me." Mariko Shinobu giggles. May Davenport swoons at the sight of Trevor Rage. Grace McPhee smiles at Trevor Rage. Trevor Rage grins. Meda Fyre gazes at Trevor Rage. May Davenport sits down. Bryan Hit grins at Meda Fyre. Ceit Galbraith says, "When they train up to level 2 through level 25, they'll gain 2 BP's for each level. So at level 2, you'd have 44. At level 3, you'd have 46." Courtney Chisolm asks, "Will these new things to hunt be available the day I lose my 106 BPs?" Bryan Hit just tickled Meda Fyre. Ceit Galbraith says, "Once you're past level 25, until you get to level 100, you'll get 1 BP each time you train." Siri Macallan asks, "Courtney, what level are you now?" Courtney Chisolm says, "17." Jon Garfield says, "At 25 you'll have 90, at 50 you'll have 115" Ceit Galbraith says, "And then after that, you'll get one every other time you train." Siri Macallan says, "You'll be fine." Kain Skylord exclaims, "I'm level 5!" Kain Skylord mumbles something unprintable. Trevor Rage says, "I'll have the existing perps converted to the new BP system before the release of the CMgr." Morgan Whitney exclaims, "Then start levelling!" Morgan Whitney ducks her head. Kain Skylord says, "What do you think I've been doing" Kain Skylord just tickled Morgan Whitney. Angela Bond says, "Too time consuming" Angela Bond ducks her head. Trixie smiles and hands a tea to Grace McPhee. Grace McPhee takes a sip of her iced tea. Joy Charles says, "i'd rather shop" Joy Charles nods. Kain Skylord says, "Actually, I've been gamblin'" Kain Skylord grins. Mariko Shinobu asks, "So no IRS auditors in the future for perp names?" Grace McPhee agrees with Joy Charles. Joy Charles grins. Kain Skylord takes a bite of his fudge brownie. Trevor Rage begins chuckling at Mariko Shinobu. Mariko Shinobu sniffles. Jon Garfield begins chuckling at Mariko Shinobu. Courtney Chisolm sighs. Mariko Shinobu exclaims, "I miss them!" Kain Skylord takes a bite of his fudge brownie. Grace McPhee takes a sip of her iced tea. Mariko Shinobu says, "I felt better about hurting them than the normal." Mariko Shinobu giggles. Ceit Galbraith says, "There also will be a luck factor added in with this new character manager. This luck factor will vary with time, sometimes you might have a bit of bad luck, other times it may be good. You may also be able to, in the future, affect this luck through your actions." Mariko Shinobu nods. Ami Stuart asks, "bad luck as in how?" Jon Garfield says, "I'm still waiting for crazed, rowdy, wild-eyed, and frenzied shoppers in the mall" Rain Beringer asks, "should we start buying rabbits feet and four leaf clovers?" Jon Garfield pokes Trevor Rage in the ribs. Joy Charles asks, "rescue the kitty from the tree and you gain good luck?" Siri Macallan says, "Wouldn't hurt." Siri Macallan whistles a cheerful tune. Siri Macallan nods to Joy Charles. Siri Macallan says, "What goes around comes around." Joy Charles smiles at Siri Macallan. Shelby Mackenzie nods to Angela Bond. Ichiko Daiumi says, "Think I'll change my name to Teela Brown.." Mariko Shinobu asks, "What about rescuing cats from IRS Auditors?" Mariko Shinobu ducks her head. Ceit Galbraith says, "Well, maybe you won't do quite as good at craps one week, and then hit the jackpot bigtime another week. Maybe you'll just sort of be off-kilter in combat one week, but really wham on the perps the next one." Kain Skylord asks, "What if some of us don't believe in luck?" Ami Stuart nods to Jon Garfield. Siri Macallan says, "It's my universe, and I do." Siri Macallan cackles gleefully. Angela Bond cowers away from Siri Macallan! Ceit Galbraith begins chuckling at Siri Macallan. Mariko Shinobu grins at Siri Macallan. Jon Garfield says, "So the truth comes out" Kain Skylord rolls his eyes. Rainbow Rogers grins. Joy Charles begins chuckling at Siri Macallan. Nina Perrson laughs! Mariko Shinobu just applauded Siri Macallan. Bryan Hit grins. Mariko Shinobu asks, "Does that mean we might have a cake fall on us at our weddings if we're having a bad week?" Mariko Shinobu sobs. Ceit Galbraith grins. Jon Garfield begins chuckling at Mariko Shinobu. Grace McPhee comforts Mariko Shinobu. Mariko Shinobu asks, "Or the ATM won't accept our cards?" Rain Beringer says, "maybe you will get rained out" Kain Skylord says, "Thats like forcing me into a religion I don't believe in" Mariko Shinobu shudders. Grace McPhee takes a sip of her iced tea. Ceit Galbraith says, "Naah" Angela Bond says, "I wonder if there's a "Get off my cloud" bumper stick on Siri's car.." Nina Perrson exclaims, "yeah, i don't believe in god!" Siri Macallan says, "Just think of it as "stuff happens."" Mariko Shinobu says, "Then move to GS and start a new one." Hans Sarber whispers loudly, "Don't give them ideas!" Nina Perrson squelches siri. Mariko Shinobu grins at Kain Skylord. Angela Bond says, "ooh" Ichiko Daiumi asks, "How can you be having a bad week if you're getting married..?" Angela Bond reaches over and gives Kain Skylord a triumphant high five. Rain Beringer glances at Ichiko Daiumi. Mariko Shinobu says, "I believe in Siri, that's good enough." Rebekah Taylor ponders lightning bolts. Rebekah Taylor twiddles her thumbs with a blank expression on her face. Hans Sarber cowers away from Rebekah Taylor! Nina Perrson squelches rebekah. Rain Beringer says, "depends on who you are marrying I imagine" Rebekah Taylor just tickled Nina Perrson. Kain Skylord says, "I still don't believe in it..if people don't believe in it, it shouldn't be a factor" Jon Garfield says, "Just so long as bad luck doesn't result in perma-death" Jon Garfield ducks his head. Ceit Galbraith asks, "Do y'all have any other questions we can answer?" Grace McPhee takes a sip of her iced tea. May Davenport nods to David Somerset. Hans Sarber asks, "Out of idle curiosity ... how is it going to work if you don't force everyone to go through the new CMgr at close to the same time? If some folks still have their 182 bps and others have 55 ... or is there something I'm missing?" Mariko Shinobu says, "Kain, I dun think you can do much." Trevor Rage is orderin' pizza cause he's hungry.. don't mind him if he's quiet. Grace McPhee nods to Jon Garfield. Courtney Chisolm says, "Some things really aren't worth arguing over. Let's get to the meat here." Bryan Hit begins nagging Trevor Rage unmercifully. Angela Bond stares at Trevor Rage. Bryan Hit seems hungry. Kain Skylord takes a bite of his fudge brownie. Rebekah Taylor says, "Send some over here, Trevor" Rain Beringer asks, "will there be any examples of the new changes we can look at before we go through?" Trevor Rage grins. Grace McPhee takes a sip of her iced tea. Jon Garfield asks, "Do you have enough to share with the rest of the class, young man?" Angela Bond says, "So help me God if there's pepperoni on that pizza.." Angela Bond ducks her head. Jon Garfield begins nagging Trevor Rage unmercifully. Siri Macallan says, "You've seen some." Rebekah Taylor winks at Trevor Rage. Ceit Galbraith asks, "Doesn't that sort of kill the fun, Rain?" Trevor Rage just tickled Angela Bond. Siri Macallan says, "Some of the hairstyles, and the colors." Kain Skylord sighs. Kain Skylord takes a bite of his fudge brownie. Siri Macallan says, "Eyecolors." Mark Grant says, "Double anchovy Trevor" Rebekah Taylor says, "Well, take a look at me" Kain Skylord takes a bite of his fudge brownie. Rebekah Taylor hums a tune softly to herself. Trevor Rage leans on Rebekah Taylor. Nina Perrson says, "well trevor just spent his gm income for the month" Siri Macallan says, "Hans, yes ..." Rebekah Taylor leans on Trevor Rage. Angela Bond begins laughing at Nina Perrson! Meda Fyre grins at Nina Perrson. Siri Macallan says, "The people who don't go through reallocation will keep their BPs as is." Bryan Hit begins chuckling at Nina Perrson. Mariko Shinobu says, "Then nobody's gonna go through reallocation." Siri Macallan says, "But they won't be able to increase in the new attributes, and in fact will be stuck at 0." Courtney Chisolm asks, "What will those people be losing out on, Siri?" Mariko Shinobu chuckles. Courtney Chisolm nods to Siri Macallan. Hans Sarber nods to Siri Macallan. Siri Macallan says, "So if Intellect is called, and someone's at a 0 ... well, that's the breaks." Courtney Chisolm chuckles. Ceit Galbraith says, "And they will play a factor in things." Rebekah Taylor says, "Not to mention you don't get a nifty new hairdo" Jon Garfield asks, "What will intellect do?" Courtney Chisolm says, "CM won't change that for some people." Jon Garfield begins chuckling at Rebekah Taylor. Hans Sarber says, "Ok. That seems like a good system." Mariko Shinobu says, "People should be fair with BPs anyway." Mariko Shinobu sniffles. Ceit Galbraith asks, "Won't change what, Courtney?" Siri Macallan says, "Off-hand, I don't remember. I'll let Trevor answer that one after he gets his anchovies." Morgan Whitney asks, "How long will the character manager be open?" Courtney Chisolm says, "Intellect." Courtney Chisolm winks at Ceit Galbraith. Ceit Galbraith begins chuckling at Courtney Chisolm. Hans Sarber says, "Trevor eats anchovies?! Gah ... talk about a quick way to destroy one's faith in someone." Hans Sarber ducks his head. Grace McPhee takes a sip of her iced tea. Angela Bond begins laughing at Hans Sarber! May Davenport giggles at Hans Sarber. Trevor Rage asks, "Anchovies? Egads, no. What was the question for me?" Siri Macallan says, "The new entry for new players will be open forever." Angela Bond exclaims, "Save those anchovies!" Grace McPhee giggles at Hans Sarber. Angela Bond exclaims, "Trevor's an anchovy murderer!" Angela Bond begins to weep softly. Siri Macallan says, "The plastic surgeon will also be open forever." Courtney Chisolm sighs. Nina Perrson looks at Rain Beringer and gags. Siri Macallan says, "But they'll only let you go through once." Trevor Rage says, "You couldn't pay me to eat those." Trevor Rage chuckles. Rain Beringer grins at Nina Perrson. Siri Macallan asks, "What will Intellect be used for, Trevor?" Jon Garfield lets out a hearty cheer for Trevor Rage. Trevor Rage says, "It will be used a -lot- .. for assessing things from an intellectual standpoint. You'll also miss out on agility (ability to dodge in combat), mentality (affects para abilities) and perception (obvious)." Joy Charles asks, "i'm mental?" Joy Charles blinks. Gage Blackwoode nods to Joy Charles. Rain Beringer grins. Grace McPhee grins at Joy Charles. Grace McPhee takes a sip of her iced tea. Trevor Rage pokes Joy Charles in the ribs. Courtney Chisolm asks, "So how will these attributes be assigned as we walk through the magic tunnel again?" Trevor Rage grins. Gage Blackwoode grins. Joy Charles giggles. Hans Sarber says, "I don't quite understand what perception will be used for ..." Hans Sarber snickers. Jon Garfield asks, "So it'll affect how you interpret crime scenes and stuff? Or things like sampling too?" Siri Macallan says, "Insto presto, Courtney." Trevor Rage just nudged Hans Sarber. Siri Macallan says, "You won't even notice it." Courtney Chisolm asks, "So, if I'm having one of my bad karma days when I walk through, I could be jolted with a 12 intellect and an 8 agility?" Trevor Rage says, "Intellect would effect sampling, how well you appraise that BP vest, and so on." Jon Garfield nods to Courtney Chisolm. Siri Macallan says, "No, there are minimums." Trevor Rage says, "Perception may be used in crime scenes too, as is appropriate." Courtney Chisolm asks, "Based on level as we go through?" Siri Macallan says, "Both starting minimums and maximums." Siri Macallan says, "No, based on what is applicable to the attribute from what you have already chosen..." Siri Macallan says, "So some of the attributes will be set by body tupe." Siri Macallan says, "Some will be determined by other factors which you've already selected for your character." Trevor Rage says, "About BP changes, though, just keep in mind that if most everyone goes through reallocation, it will make the new BP system much more of a standard for balancing combat." Trevor Rage says, "And to be honest..there's no way I would personally miss out on reallocation.. I'd definitely do it, myself." Courtney Chisolm glances at Trevor Rage. Trevor Rage says, "Just my personal thought on it." Courtney Chisolm asks, "Siri pay you to say that?" Courtney Chisolm grins. Hans Sarber says, "Well, it seems that if they don't have agility, they'll need the extra BPs that they have before reallocation." Hans Sarber chuckles. Angela Bond whispers loudly, "he's just saying that. It's part of a conspiracy." Angela Bond glances around. Trevor Rage says, "Na, I'm dead serious." Jon Garfield says, "So since the plastic surgeon will be open forever, we can hold off till after the skill reallocation if we choose to? Because I'm thinking, if some of these stats are affected by skills, and we're low in something now but plan to change it later, that may skew the stats" Rain Beringer says, "trevor is getting cornrows..." Trevor Rage runs to cash his check. Trevor Rage whistles a cheerful tune. Trevor Rage says, "Um no." Trevor Rage pokes Rainbow Rogers in the ribs. Nina Perrson says, "good for another pizza" Nina Perrson gives a big thumbs up! Rain Beringer grins at Trevor Rage. Angela Bond exclaims, "Go Trevor! Whole $5!" Angela Bond ducks her head. Angela Bond begins laughing at Nina Perrson! Meda Fyre begins laughing at Rainbow Rogers! Courtney Chisolm says, "That's what I was thinking, Jon." Trevor Rage chuckles. Ceit Galbraith says, "The ratio of height/weight for your gender plays a factor in some, age will play a factor in some, fitness level..." Ceit Galbraith says, "None of the stats are affected by your skills." Ceit Galbraith says, "Er..none of the attributes." Rainbow Rogers pokes Trevor Rage in the ribs. Siri Macallan says, "Well, maybe. It depends on how the reallocation goes." Jon Garfield says, "I thought one of you said some are" Trevor Rage chuckles. Siri Macallan says, "I did." Trevor Rage smiles at Rainbow Rogers. Siri Macallan says, "I'm checking my sources." Siri Macallan grins. Trevor Rage pokes Rain Beringer in the ribs. Courtney Chisolm asks, "So, if you're a muscle-bound body-builder, chances are you might be limited in some other area ... say intellect?" Trevor Rage says, "Meant to poke that one." Siri Macallan says, "It was a long time ago when I added that code into the system." Rainbow Rogers nods to Trevor Rage. Angela Bond begins laughing at Courtney Chisolm! Rain Beringer grins at Trevor Rage. Trevor Rage says, "Or agility." Rain Beringer says, "people have trouble with that" Rain Beringer leans on Rainbow Rogers. Siri Macallan says, "Mentality is based on some skills." Courtney Chisolm nods. Ceit Galbraith nods. Ceit Galbraith says, "She's right, I'm wrong." Siri Macallan says, "But those skills aren't going to change from what they are now." Ceit Galbraith points at Siri Macallan. Danie Roberts says, "I think you should allow us to vote on each other's intellects." Danie Roberts nods. Courtney Chisolm begins chuckling at Danie Roberts. Rain Beringer begins laughing at Danie Roberts! Bryan Hit grins at Danie Roberts. Trevor Rage snickers at Danie Roberts. Jon Garfield says, "They might, you can raise them with spare points in either method" Siri Macallan says, "Possibly." Siri Macallan says, "Or you might lose out on other things because you chose to focus on mentality." Siri Macallan shrugs. Jon Garfield nods. Jon Garfield says, "I'm just saying for options" Siri Macallan says, "I think what people need to start thinking about is what type of character you want to play personality wise, and let some of the ideas of "perfect stats/skills character" go." Trevor Rage says, "... and.. you would suffer without those stats until the new skill system is in. It'd be up to each person to decide the benefits vs. cost." Siri Macallan says, "Because there will be no "perfect" character." Jon Garfield nods to Trevor Rage. Ceit Galbraith says, "You've also got to remember that skills will be going up to 500...so there's a very large range between what will raise your mentality 10 points." Courtney Chisolm asks, "OK, when I was created, knowing how the island operated at the time, I tried to make myself as strong as possible. Now, with these changes, especially for BP, that won't matter. So as I move through the CM I'll be able to change some of these things about myself, right?" Siri Macallan nods to Courtney Chisolm. Courtney Chisolm nods. Courtney Chisolm says, "Good. Just so my intellect and agility won't be based on my current muscle-bound status." Kain Skylord grins. Kain Skylord says, "Nothing wrong with that" Ceit Galbraith asks, "What other questions do y'all have?" Ceit Galbraith smiles. Allan Bullest raises his hand. Ceit Galbraith asks, "Allan?" Allan Bullest says, "Dumb question, obviously just came.. " Allan Bullest asks, "Is it gonna be full or partial?" Siri Macallan says, "This is the Character Manager." Ceit Galbraith says, "This is a character manager reallocation, Allan. Not skills." Siri Macallan says, "Doesn't have diddly to do with skills." Ichiko Daiumi pokes Allan Bullest in the ribs. Allan Bullest gets a distant look on his face as he ponders. Allan Bullest is not sure he understands the difference. Allan Bullest raises an eyebrow. Ceit Galbraith says, "You might find it beneficial to read the log of tonight's forum when it's posted." Siri Macallan says, "This is about your externals and your attributes." Bryan Hit grins at Meda Fyre. Allan Bullest nods. Ichiko Daiumi says, "Allan, type NEWINFO.." Siri Macallan says, "Not your skills." Allan Bullest says, "gracias." Joy Charles says, "is there a log of last weeks skills forum? i missed it" Allan Bullest laughs! Jon Garfield asks, "If things like build affect things like intellect, and you end up working out in the gym a lot and raising your strength and getting more muscles, will that automatically affect your intellect (for example) as if those were the levels you'd originally chosen, or will they no longer be related after the initial settings?" Siri Macallan says, "If you read books or something it might raise your intellect." Ceit Galbraith says, "I'm not sure, Joy. Maybe Trevor will be able to answer that, he may have it on his website." Trevor Rage says, "A couple of stats will not raise by use: intellect and perception." Trevor Rage asks, "Did you go over that?" Siri Macallan says, "That squashes that idea." Siri Macallan grins. Nina Perrson blinks. Trevor Rage chuckles. Nina Perrson says, "i was gonna say" Jon Garfield looks over at Trevor Rage and shakes his head. Nina Perrson coughs. Kain Skylord asks, "So you can go lift in the gym and get buff?" Siri Macallan says, "We didn't say which ones." Courtney Chisolm asks, "So how will those be raised, Trevor?" Siri Macallan nods to Kain Skylord. Trevor Rage says, "Those two are set in stone stats once you reallocate." Kain Skylord says, "Sweet" Silvana StoneSkye says, "Soo... if you're rolled as a dullard, you'll always be a dullard... lovely" Rain Beringer says, "so we could be stupid forever" Jon Garfield nods to Silvana StoneSkye. Jon Garfield says, "Now that's realistic" Jon Garfield chuckles. Silvana StoneSkye begins chuckling at Jon Garfield. Trevor Rage says, "Could be. If so, you'll need higher skill in the skills used for the task than a 'smart' person." Ichiko Daiumi whistles a cheerful tune. Allan Bullest says, "Sorry Jon, I know you were hoping." Trevor Rage says, "And vice versa." Arielle Drummond asks, "Do you at least get a few chances to pick some good stats?" Jon Garfield says, "Yeah, it's a shame you'll miss out, Allan" Rain Beringer grins. Allan Bullest smiles at Jon Garfield. Nina Perrson says, "touche" Bryan Hit chuckles. Hans Sarber asks, "Well ... what if we don't care about being buff ... and just want to be smart? Is there any way we can control this when we roll?" Allan Bullest wonders how in the world all of his jokes tend to backfire on him. Allan Bullest gets a distant look on his face as he ponders. Ceit Galbraith says, "As I said, intellect is primarily based upon age." Hans Sarber nods. Allan Bullest raises his hand. Danie Roberts says, "It's the "I'm rubber, you're glue" theory in action, Allan." Ceit Galbraith says, "So if you're 18, you're probably not going to be all that intellectual. Same goes for being 120." Meda Fyre snaps her fingers. Allan Bullest asks, "Maybe this was already asked, but will we be able to adjust our age according to our length of stay here?" Silvana StoneSkye asks, "So, if you choose to age, then your intellect will go up as you get older?" Ichiko Daiumi says, "It's your name, Allan.." Rain Beringer grins. Siri Macallan says, "Age won't be changable until after skills are all resettled." Siri Macallan says, "And I'll probably have a small talk about it, or at least post info on it when that happens." Siri Macallan says, "Long ways away." Kain Skylord yawns. Allan Bullest asks, "But my problem is, when I came here I was 35, now I'm close to "40".. Doesn't that, or won't that age jump be factored into my intellect?" Siri Macallan says, "No one has aged on Morada." Siri Macallan says, "So no, it's not a factor." Siri Macallan smiles. Siri Macallan says, "Not right now." Allan Bullest nods. Allan Bullest says, "ok." Kain Skylord says, "We were given a drug right when we got here" Kain Skylord grins. Allan Bullest says, "Some of us were." Allan Bullest grins. Kain Skylord chuckles. Ceit Galbraith asks, "Any other questions we can answer?" Bryan Hit asks, "i think the obvious question is "when?" Siri Macallan says, "That was answered." Siri Macallan grins. Bryan Hit says, "i missed it" Bryan Hit grins. Courtney Chisolm says, "Within a month." Jon Garfield asks, "Will we get to see a definitive list of what exactly affects each attribute, or is this one of those things where we're left wandering blind?" Siri Macallan chuckles. Siri Macallan says, "Jon, you're a definitive numbers player." Siri Macallan grins. Courtney Chisolm says, "Maybe the seeing-eye dog merchant will visit before we have to wander through, Jon." Jon Garfield nods. Siri Macallan says, "You and Rage." Siri Macallan shakes her head. Jon Garfield nods. Trevor Rage says, "Hey, I am too." Trevor Rage chuckles. Jon Garfield begins chuckling at Courtney Chisolm. Lisa Stone nods. Jon Garfield grins at Lisa Stone. Trevor Rage just tickled Siri Macallan. Siri Macallan says, "I don't know." Siri Macallan says, "I'm inclined to say not." Siri Macallan says, "Because I'm not a numbers person and I want people to play characters, not numbers." Siri Macallan says, "But Rage is, so he may convince me otherwise." Trevor Rage says, "I don't think it will be necessary to publish a list, as long as folks can see the numbers before they commit to them, in the reallocation." Courtney Chisolm says, "Siri, you do want us to be successful, though, and if we are cut to a mere shadow of our normal selves, happiness would definitely be hard to find." Trevor Rage says, "That way you can play with it yourself and see what works." Jon Garfield says, "I just like to have all the info possible so as to make informed decisions on stuff that will affect me for a long time to come, which affects whether my character turns out the way I want him to or not" Siri Macallan says, "I don't think you'll have to worry about that." Jon Garfield nods to Trevor Rage. Ceit Galbraith asks, "Did you have all of it when you created the character originally?" Ichiko Daiumi says, "Ceit, I *still* don't have it all.." Trevor Rage asks, "From Jon's stance, yes, I like to plan ahead and make a math project out of it too.. but it would be a pain for a GM to prepare such a list to be honest. Why not be a pioneer and figure it out and make "Jon's guide to building the perfect character"?" Trevor Rage grins at Jon Garfield. Jon Garfield says, "Actually, I read the info on AOL and during the creation process about the different professions and stuff" Ceit Galbraith says, "And the new character manager will be opening up at the same time as the reallocation. So, there is always the opportunity to go through the character manager as a new character and play with it over and over." Courtney Chisolm says, "Ceit, yes, some of us did have a lot of information on how to choose a good character for what we wanted to accomplish here." Siri Macallan says, "But that info didn't come from GMs." Siri Macallan says, "It came from players." Courtney Chisolm says, "It came from experience, Siri." Siri Macallan says, "And that's something that is consistent for all the Simu Games." Siri Macallan says, "Sorry, Courtney, I wasn't meaning you." Siri Macallan says, "The attributes aren't as important as skills, if you're a numbers person." Siri Macallan says, "And some of them you already know." Siri Macallan says, "Not much is changing for the originals such as Strength, Agility, etc." Trevor Rage says, "Just to reiterate.. it would be a complete pain to make that list.. but we can give you a tool in game to see those numbers -before- you commit to finishing the reallocation. That should do." Jon Garfield nods to Trevor Rage. Siri Macallan says, "So if you want to be buff, don't create a thin character." Courtney Chisolm nods to Trevor Rage. Jon Garfield says, "I was going on the impression from an earlier answer that we wouldn't be able to change anything once it was rolled up" Courtney Chisolm asks, "Siri, it's been rumored that if you're a big, muscular person, the new CM will be sure you're also dumb as an ox and a clumsy oaf to boot. Is there truth to that?" Siri Macallan says, "You get the chance to see what your character is going to be before you committ to the surgery." Trevor Rage says, "Ok nix my last statement.. I guess that's not gonna be possible. Let us talk about the numbers thing and preparation.. but for now, assume your own your own, to be blunt." Jon Garfield says, "And that's a good idea, Ceit, about using a new character to see how it might turn out" Danie Roberts says, "Yes, you'll be playing the archetype of The Oaf." Siri Macallan says, "At least as far as physicalities." Danie Roberts grins at Courtney Chisolm. Trevor Rage says, "er on your own." Siri Macallan says, "I don't think the attributes will be listed out." Courtney Chisolm frowns. Edward Gregor frowns. Edward Gregor says, "not all large people are idiots." Jon Garfield nods to Edward Gregor. Siri Macallan says, "Whoa." Kain Skylord grins. Siri Macallan says, "Back up." Edward Gregor says, "nor clumsy" Siri Macallan rubs her head. Nina Perrson snickers. Siri Macallan says, "First, don't jump to conclusions." Siri Macallan smiles. Siri Macallan says, "Brains have nothing to do with body type." Jon Garfield asks, "Nothing's ever easy with this group, is it?" Edward Gregor asks, "fair enough, would you be willing to define "oaf"?" Jon Garfield comforts Siri Macallan. Siri Macallan says, "Never." Siri Macallan says, "I didn't use the word Oaf, Edward, so please breathe." Danie Roberts says, "Courtney said 'oaf', not Siri." Danie Roberts says, "And then I made a joke. Apparently not a good one." Edward Gregor says, "ah, sorry." Danie Roberts grins. Courtney Chisolm says, "My word, Eddie. Don't be offended by thinking the gods are creating oafs." Siri Macallan says, "Each stat has a minimum." Edward Gregor blushes slightly and shuts up. Siri Macallan says, "Each starting stat is in the mid range." Siri Macallan says, "No one starts off as imbecilles." Kain Skylord says, "I did" Kain Skylord grins. Mark Grant says, "what if we already are" Courtney Chisolm says, "I'm not an imbecile, I just play one in MO." Mark Grant begins chuckling at Courtney Chisolm. Siri Macallan says, "And even if you had the misfortune of starting at the lower range of mid, you'd still play at your own intelligence." Chance Nevada winces expressively. Siri Macallan says, "Because I've rarely ever seen anyone willingly play someone stupid." Jon Garfield begins chuckling at Courtney Chisolm. Courtney Chisolm gets a distant look on her face as she ponders. Edward Gregor says, "i have, but that's irrelevant." Courtney Chisolm says, "Could be fun." Courtney Chisolm grins. Danie Roberts pets Nina Perrson in a patronizing manner. Siri Macallan says, "I've seen people play jerks, but they're usually trying to be clever." Edward Gregor grins. Silvana StoneSkye says, "Look a little harder.." Nina folds her arms. Ami Stuart just tickled Jesse Jones. Siri Macallan says, "So let's not start assuming the worst, and start having a little faith in the process." Ceit Galbraith asks, "Any other questions tonight?" Siri Macallan smiles. Siri Macallan glances around. Siri Macallan chuckles. Ceit Galbraith asks, "Wow, hear that cricket?" Ceit Galbraith grins at Siri Macallan. Siri Macallan asks, "No more questions?" Danie Roberts says, "Guess not." Danie Roberts grins. Silvana StoneSkye says, "I think that's Amanda's snoring, not the cricket" Jon Garfield says, "Nah, he's not loud enough to be heard from way over here" Ichiko Daiumi asks, "What kind of new features can we look forward to?" Edward Gregor raises his hand. Siri Macallan says, "New hair colors, hair styles, eye color, skin color, body type descriptions..." Siri Macallan says, "Change of height." Kelsey Landon asks, "What kind of hair styles are they?" Rain Beringer asks, "will more interesting colors be an option for hair?" Siri Macallan chuckles. Siri Macallan says, "Wait and see." Siri Macallan nods to Rainbow Rogers. Siri Macallan flails her arms about. Rain Beringer grins. Nina Perrson snickers. Rain Beringer says, "poor Rainbow" Siri Macallan nods to Rain Beringer. Rainbow Rogers chuckles. Siri Macallan asks, "Edward?" Ceit Galbraith says, "I think there's at least 25 different hairstyles and colors to choose from." Arielle Drummond says, "Whoa." Siri Macallan says, "Character features will be much more diverse." Nina Perrson asks, "are those colors gonna be added to the dye shop?" Arielle Drummond asks, "And the hairstyles will still be abled to be changed in game?" Ichiko Daiumi asks, "I wonder how I'd look with hunter-green hair..?" Siri Macallan nods to Arielle Drummond. Danie Roberts says, "Much more like a komodo dragon." Danie Roberts pats Ichiko on the back. Edward Gregor nods to Siri Macallan. Rain Beringer grins at Danie Roberts. Ichiko gawks at Danie. Lisa Stone giggles at Danie Roberts. Edward Gregor says, "sorry, i had to change a diaper." Courtney Chisolm glances around. Miranda Myles glances at Edward Gregor. Courtney Chisolm grins. Edward Gregor says, "question..." Rainbow Rogers smiles at Edward Gregor. Mark Grant says, "thought i smelled something ED" Mike Tucker begins chuckling at Mark Grant. Siri Macallan pokes Mark Grant in the ribs. Edward Gregor asks, "i just got in on the end of this, but i would like clarification, is there a connection between build and intelligence? and if so, what is it?" Mark Grant blushes a nice shade of off-pink. Siri Macallan removes her red 'BRAT!' stamp-ring and stamps a glittery red 'BRAT!' stamp on Mark Grant's forehead. Ceit Galbraith says, "Nina, I don't think all the hair colors will be immediately sold in the shop, but they may be added in the future." Mark Grant laughs! Rain Beringer laughs! Courtney Chisolm begins chuckling at Siri Macallan. Silvana StoneSkye snickers. Bryan Hit laughs! Arielle Drummond asks, "Could you make that permanent for him?" Siri Macallan grins. Edward Gregor gets a distant look on his face as he ponders. Miranda Myles laughs! Mark Grant pokes Arielle Drummond in the ribs. Edward Gregor says, "looks like an old thief mark." Edward Gregor grins. Mark Grant nods to Edward Gregor. Danie Roberts says, "The scarlet letters." Edward Gregor chuckles. Rain Beringer says, "Nina still has you beat Mark" Siri Macallan says, "There is NOOOOOOOO connection between Build and Intellect OR Mentality." Courtney Chisolm grins. Courtney Chisolm says, "That, I think, was finally clear." Courtney Chisolm nods. Edward Gregor says, "okay, that's what i was unclear on." Mark Grant says, "true" Ceit Galbraith says, "There is also NOOOOOO connection between hair color and mentality or intellect, just to get that out of the way before rumors start." Silvana StoneSkye laughs! Edward Gregor chuckles. Hope Fontaine chuckles. Rain Beringer grins. Rainbow Rogers begins chuckling at Ceit Galbraith. Bryan Hit chuckles. Lisa Stone giggles. Siri Macallan grins at Ceit Galbraith. Bryan Hit says, "dang, there goes all my blonde jokes" Bryan Hit snaps his fingers. Meda Fyre pokes Bryan Hit in the ribs. Bryan Hit snickers at Meda Fyre. Courtney Chisolm asks, "And what about eye color and agility?" Tyler Morrison laughs! Siri Macallan asks, "Any other questions?" Courtney Chisolm gets a distant look on her face as she ponders. Nina Perrson says, "yeah, can you make your stamp blue? cause i know i'll end up getting more of them" Edward Gregor asks, "just a dumb thought... agility and build?" Siri Macallan says, "I heard an interesting correlation between length of ring finger to index finger and sexual preference." Meda Fyre laughs! Nina Perrson laughs! Danie Roberts laughs! Miranda Myles says, "Me too" Siri Macallan says, "But we're not changing finger sizes, so I'll skip that." Bryan Hit begins chuckling at Meda Fyre. Amanda Hunter giggles. Silvana StoneSkye blinks. Miranda Myles says, "Absurd" Mark Grant says, "nina maybe even glowing " Siri Macallan grins. Nina Perrson says, "i was asking everyone that a few weeks ago" Nina Perrson ducks her head. Siri Macallan laughs! Rainbow Rogers giggles. Bryan Hit chuckles. Rain Beringer coughs. Jon Garfield says, "Never heard that one" Courtney Chisolm says, "You already said there is no sex skill in MO, Siri. Don't confuse us now." Meda Fyre begins laughing at Courtney Chisolm! Jon Garfield chuckles. Nina Perrson asks, "if your ring finger is longer, does that mean i can start hitting on you?" Nina peers quizzically at Siri. Danie Roberts says, "That should be more of a permanent attribute." Danie Roberts grins. Rain Beringer grins. Bryan Hit says, "we need a sex skill" Bryan Hit ducks his head. Mark Grant checks his fingers. Bryan Hit snickers. Mike Tucker waves. Siri Macallan says, "My hands are different. Right and left. So I guess I'm middle of the road." Nina Perrson says, "yeah bryan you'd already be maxed out there" Siri Macallan whistles a cheerful tune. Silvana StoneSkye snickers. Meda Fyre laughs! Rain Beringer begins laughing at Nina Perrson! Ransom Blackhawk coughs. Meda Fyre rolls on the floor laughing, tears streaming from her eyes. Meda Fyre coughs. Meda Fyre sits up. Mia delaRosa giggles at Nina Perrson. Bryan Hit snickers. Siri Macallan exclaims, "Okay, and with that!!" Nina Perrson says, "wow siri learn something new every day.." Nina Perrson changes the list quote. Siri Macallan asks, "Any other CMgr questions?" Jon Garfield chuckles. Siri Macallan laughs! Rain Beringer grins at Nina Perrson. Silvana StoneSkye laughs! Meda Fyre grins at Nina Perrson. Rainbow Rogers begins laughing at Nina Perrson! Chance Nevada nods to Danie Roberts. Siri Macallan says, "Im going to take that as a no." Siri Macallan smiles. Ceit Galbraith thinks she'll bring the measuring tape to SimuCon just so she can report back on everyone's finger distances. Danie Roberts cowers away from Ceit Galbraith! Danie Roberts will be wearing gloves in June. Siri Macallan says, "If you have questions, feel free to drop me a line." Siri Macallan says, "MO-Siri@play.net." Mark Grant chops off his hands. Nina Perrson blinks. Ichiko Daiumi asks, "Will there be examples of what to expect, like on Trevor's site..?" May Davenport glances at Mark Grant. Mark Grant smiles at May Davenport. Siri Macallan asks, "As far as what, Ichiko?" Ichiko Daiumi says, "The CMgr options" Siri Macallan says, "I don't know if we'll post anything previously." Siri Macallan says, "But if you're a Premium Subscriber you can take one of your extra characters and play before you take an existing one through reallocation." Ichiko Daiumi nods. Jon Garfield says, "I'm glad we don't have an attribute for asking annoying questions in forums. I'd be maxed out." Siri Macallan says, "And if you're not, reallocation will show you what you've requested before you committ to it." Bryan Hit grins at Jon Garfield. Courtney Chisolm asks, "So we can refuse and start over again at that point, right, Siri?" Siri Macallan says, "So if you hate the combo, you can change it before the scalpel starts." Jon Garfield says, "She said it won't include the stats though, just the outward appearance" Arielle Drummond asks, "So can pick until you get a combination you like?" Siri Macallan says, "Currently, yes." Rain Beringer asks, "Im scared of knifes, do we get a knock on the head before they begin?" Siri Macallan says, "I'll talk to the staff and see if we can add it. But I'm not promising." Danie Roberts says, "I vote for drugs." Nina Perrson says, "you can borrow the mallet, rain" Rain Beringer beams happily at Nina Perrson. Rain Beringer says, "thanks Nina" Kain Skylord says, "Heh" Mariko Shinobu says, "What if you accidentally hit the number for auburn instead of blonde? " Danie Roberts says, "Then we point and laugh." Danie Roberts pats Mariko on the back. Nina Perrson laughs! May Davenport giggles. Rain Beringer grins. Miranda Myles grins. Mariko Shinobu sobs. Siri Macallan says, "Then you change before you accept your choices." Mariko Shinobu nods to Siri Macallan. Mariko Shinobu has been gone for a bit, forgive her. Siri Macallan says, "Or you go get your hair died." Jon Garfield says, "Then visit the dye shop" Nina's jaw drops. Jon Garfield says, "Hair's already dead, you can't get it died" Jon Garfield ducks his head. Siri Macallan says, "Dyed." Lisa Stone just flicked Jon Garfield's shoulder in a snotty sort of way. Siri Macallan pokes Jon Garfield in the ribs. Bryan Hit chuckles. Rain Beringer grins. Ichiko Daiumi glances at Jon Garfield. Courtney Chisolm leans back. Ichiko Daiumi asks, "How can hair grow if it's dead?" Siri Macallan says, "I think we're done." Siri Macallan chuckles.
