SISTER ONIDIAL will be Enforcer

Please vote on who should be the Stenographer (please do not vote on other roles)

>>88866
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.

I vote for the human

Nydelle. Stenographer is a job for tallyman, and preferably one without a resume full of sociopathy and betrayal.

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

RECORD THE DARK WHISPERS IN HIS MIND

Noble roads.

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!

OPERATOR NYDELLE will be Stenographer

Please vote on who should be the photographer

I vote Feria because I like her, plus her and Windslow might be able to make a SWEET RIDE.

>>88877
Modesty. She can fly, for extreme angle facebook photos that hide how fat everyone is.

Modesty

>>88877
well, Modesty is the best choice for photograph, she can take any kind of shots without having to worry about stepping on important clues.

Modesty

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

Dame Kalag should be the photographer.

Modesty

>>88877

Voting for Modesty again.

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

>>88958
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?

>>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?

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?

>>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?

>>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

Ah man, so much depth that I missed out on voting. Very cool stuff.
Looking forward to how this plays out. : >

ugh I'm feel like I'm way too shitty of a writer to tell the story I want to tell
I am in pain with how much I suck at writing

Just keep pushing through, everything looks like crap before it's finished. Give it time and the story you want to tell will come through.

>I imagined Prances tail to be bigger also, still very pretty. Don't get me wrong, just smaller than I was expecting!

It was supposed to be large, I screwed up cause I am terrible

>>92332
Ah, not terrible!
Can't make it big all the time or it'll get in the way of seein other stuff anyway. : >
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.

>>92332
I'm imagining him with a tail huge enough to form a house for all nine of the others now.

Prance applying his knee brace

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?

>>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

>>99378
Cut the cost by an amount or percent? And can the cost hit zero for cheap abilities?

>>99380
there is a percent chance to avoid the cost per devotion point spent,

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

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

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.
