-A team of 5 characters,(chosen from the 10 shown)
-Crime mystery solving
-Morale balancing

What would you like to hear about first?

Nydelle because she will use her sperginess to write things down, also she's the Tallyman I'd want to tally me banana, if you get my meaning, wink wink.

Nydelle is an excellent Stenographer, and we need a tallyman who isn't Nobility.

Nydelle. Stenographer is a job for tallyman, and preferably one without a resume full of sociopathy and betrayal.
>>
No. 88871 ID: db2d60

Time for a BIG POST

It's obvious that one of the tallymen should be the stenographer, both are fine options (Nydelle is probably a bit better). The most important thing here is this:

Depending on which Tallyman is picked, there are 2 viable options for the photographer slot. And it's important to get a good full set!

Keigo and Kalag, sadly, won't be very good options. Arguing with the stern characters would bring Windslow down, reducing his morale boost from being cheerful, and they would end up leaving due to being outnumbered.

Similarly, grabbing both tallymen (one as photographer, one as Stenographer), they'll fight each other and bother Windslow and negate the morale bonuses (they'll be fine together, though)

If NYDELLE is picked, we can't really take Solsa, Keigo, Kalag, or Noble as the photographer. Our two real options become

---Feria
+ Gives the party a blademaster, gives party every class
+ Is observant
- Isn't terribly interested in much
- No particular abilities to aid in party role

---Modesty
+ Can fly and hover for good positioning, angles, and scouting options
+ Likely many Creep Shots of Prince
+ Caps out Double Cheerful party options to give the party incredibly strong morale
- Possibly Flighty
- Unbalances Class selection, doubling up on weaver

---EITHER WAY
+ Nydelle is absolutely perfect for the Stenographer role

If NOBLE is chosen, we have the option of taking solsa instead of Feria

---Solsa
+ Blademaster, perfectly rounds out classes
+ Veteran of the God Wars means that she will be unafraid to take risks to get good shots
- No abilities to get good/valuable/helpful shots without taking those risks
- violent and unreliable (somewhat mitigated by double stern ability)

Also Modesty is viable with noble as well, with one Addition:

---Modesty(Noble)
- Might mesh poorly with noble and cause arguments despite not having personality clashes; due to background.

Additional:
+ Noble is apparently very good with tech
- Noble is a murderous traitor and might ruin everything forever
- Red eyes for blazing all the gay weed

All things considered any of these options will be good, but for having the overall more reliable options and fitting the role better I'll vote for [b]Nydelle{/b]

NOBLE ROADS FOR STENOGRAPHER

Noble roads.

No. 88875 ID: 0598d7

I vote Nydelle for Stenographer because I'd rather be down a Blademaster than bring along Noble Roads.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Noble gives me the heebie-jeebies!

sorta want to go with Feria simply because I kinda want a blade master in the group just incase things do go down and I feel like she'd actually be pretty good with a camera but Modesty I feel would be better suited for the job...

Eh I'll throw my vote in with Feria for now but if Modesty takes the win I won't complain.

Modesty.
She will likely have a stalker album of Prance very quickly.
Besides we need more cheerful folks to balance out that stern-ness.

Modesty will be photographer

with all team members decided, the quest is able to begin

I could however give many many many more posts of additional rules and statistics regarding Silken Vale, but that could delay starting the quest indefinitely

Instead I will make posts her to clarify any questions and present rules when people ask or they seem important

so feel free to ask questions

God dammit I missed the voting!
I would've had Keigo Slymn instead of the mud shark.
Anyway how will inter-team relations work? Will everyone just shut up and get along, will there sections devoted to the development of this like in their down time or will it be ongoing through out the quest?
>>
No. 88964 ID: 9ddf68

>>88958
I notice we have 2 stern guys in the team and 2 cheerful guys. I remember you saying if we had a majority of serious guys the game would be "The story will have more death and serious tones, moral dilemmas will be more common" but with more cheerful guys "The story will be more uplifting and light hearted, events involving cute animals children and hugs will be more common"

So the question I have is are the two just going to cancel each other out or is this story just going to be an emotional roller coster just jumping back between light hearted daww moments to gritty crime scenes full of mutilated corpse or something?
>>
No. 88969 ID: e0c514

Love our dispositions we have for the group.
I think Nydelle is going to question what the heck she got herself into.

Anyway, the other characters we did not choose; will they pop up once in a while?
>>
No. 88976 ID: 9dd1ee

>>88962

For the most part Enforcer,Stenographer and photographer will play back ground rolls, simply following orders and and performing their duties.

leaving most of the character dialogue and action to the Inspectors.

during rest times and and certain mission types however there will be opportunities for socializing between team mates

>>88964
Closer to the emotional roller coaster, there will be very dark times and very light times.

>>88969
Every character had a preset destiny, the characters selected have been removed from that and now their destinies are in your hands, as for the other characters, they will be wandering the world on their original paths, though it's quite possible some of their paths will collide with the investigation.

One more question. Since clothing seems to play an important role in this world. Does that mean the clothing damage, and to that end nudity equals shame and defeat?
>>
No. 89126 ID: 9dd1ee

>>89123
depends on the individual
some character might loose the will to fight if stripped naked, other might instead be sent into a furious rage over the embarrassment other might not care at all.

Being stripped naked will not automatically result in failure of a combat

But he's a very handsome bird. I'm sure you can draw him with his big tail later on! But its probably a LOT easier for a tiny tail in the top down view anyway.

the injury is an old one, whose origins are only known by Inspector Prance's closest friends.

unfortunately he has no such friends

Is there a way to generate/regain devotion besides the abilities and items that specifically say they do such a thing?
>>
No. 99378 ID: 49f18e

>>92995
Devotion is created by Binders sacrificing sheets of silk to the gods, sheets of silk can be woven from raw silk, clothes, rags or scraps.

it can also be earned as currency from goods or services.

characters will also receive a weekly income of devotion or silk.

the surface volume of silk worn will also cut down amount of devotion lost when using items or abilities
>>
No. 99380 ID: 59a537

>>99378
Cut the cost by an amount or percent? And can the cost hit zero for cheap abilities?
>>
No. 99384 ID: 49f18e

>>99380
there is a percent chance to avoid the cost per devotion point spent,
>>
No. 99438 ID: 49f18e

As a note, characters will not respond to questions directly asked to them
(it'd be far to awkward to have characters talking to invisible voices all the time!)
it's better to suggest an action such as telling a character to ask a question to another
>>
No. 101417 ID: 49f18e

Suggestions are thinning out, it appears people are loosing interest

I'll likely be taking a break from this quest to rethink my story telling approach.
if anyone has thoughts on this I'd be glad to hear them
>>
No. 101442 ID: b7883c

I find the quest interesting in in general, though the recent update looked kind of like fancy hat guy was about to continue talking about the story in a multi-part update rather than a suggestion point. Also, I am not sure how we would proceed with the leads in hand (aside from remembering to go back to interview to the prisoner).

>>101442
I've been told that people are waiting to continue before.
which is frustrating because I'd like to keep infodumps to a minimum in this already word heavy quest

regarding how to proceed, again I'm not sure how to make that work without just making things super blatant, which kind of defeats the point of the quest.
