I like my avatar, thanks.

I'm guessing we've filled the school with ticking tyke-bombs. Maybe it's going to turn out like a non-lethal Battle Royale?

*cough* yeah, uh, about that "non lethal" thing...

We might want to find... couple three four people for the waiting list.

Here be Lloyd Karron:

I'm wondering how this combination of stuff will work out. *dark chuckle*

Ahh... then your probably going to need this later.

As for the thread title, it should probably be Halforums High: School Days.

 

[GasBandit]

I'm wondering if some of you are really grasping the point of this exercise.

If you're, say, Link, this is your rule 63:

This, not so much.

Your girl versions are supposed to be female versions of you, not a Shegokigo expy.

No, I will not take part in your Hentai

You weren't one of the volunteers (my post was more in reference to Poe, I guess, though you seemed to make an ax-murderer too), you sure you want to change teams?

And in any case, be it Lloyd or Lana, can you look me right in the virtual eyes and tell me you, Officer_Charon, would murder an innocent in cold blood?[DOUBLEPOST=1380838094,1380837549][/DOUBLEPOST]Let me stop being coy for a second. The main problem with Poe's character sheet, and to a lesser degree Charon's, is that they exacerbate the Evil subconscious trait to make it much more likely that they will murder someone - Poe's for her promiscuity potential (brash flirt+dirty minded+reprobate morality), which is likely to cause a breakup (and breakups generally turn stabby with evil characters), and Charon's combination of tough/rough personality traits along with the forceful personality modifier, making a violent confrontation much more likely, and much more fatal.

Now, I'd be more apt to let this slide if I believed that this was in keeping with their actual character, as the whole point of the Halforums House idea, as I understand it, is to simulate actual halforumites (or at least the persona they project on the forums) interacting in a social environment. If we start rolling characters inconsistent with that, the whole thing breaks down and maybe the people who did it "right" wonder why THEY didn't roll oversexed axe murderers too, and then everything just turns ridiculous.

 

[Jay]

Completely forgot about evil.

People will die.

 

[GasBandit]

I was actually kind of surprised when you didn't pick the Evil subconscious trait. I thought, "Dirty and CALM? Whoa, fatherhood has really mellowed Jay out."

 

[MindDetective]

I'm putting HalBucks on me being the first one to die.

 

[GasBandit]

Also, in the interest of full disclosure, here's the deal with the Evil subcon trait: choosing the Evil trait makes it very likely you will murder another character over the course of the game unless you never exeprience a breakup and never make an enemy of another character (the likelihood of that scenario approaches zero as time goes on). However, committing that murder also causes the arrest of your own character, at which point you are removed from the game.

We already had one character with the "evil" trait submitted, but as it didn't have exacerbating factors, it didn't raise too much of an alarm. These two, however, I expect to kill somebody within one or two game weeks.

 

[strawman]

So, in short, "evil" characters remove themselves from the game, in addition to another person at some point. Multiple evil characters do this more quickly.

If you want to stay in the game long term, you might want to try changing evil to one of the forceful attributes that'll make you violent without becoming murdery.

Still could be interesting. I wonder where my body would be dumped...

Exactly. If you're just trying to make a character that's mean or gets into more fights, "Irritable" is a better trait to choose. If you're trying to make a character that is mean or unpleasant, a full blown personality shift is probably more in order, say to Badboy for guys or Queen bee, Social Climber, or Impatient and Tense for girls. But here again we get into what I said about the characters being conversions of their namesakes.

Anyway, I've said my piece about possible complications here and my own thoughts on the matter. However, if nobody else has a problem with it, I'm content to let it drop.

Ah, original description said non-violent, so I was assuming it was stuff like spreading gossip. Go ahead and change my evil to forceful personality

 

[LittleKagsin]

Ah man, I have a feeling that I'll be killed. I don't wanna die.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind! Change that trait, whoop whoop.

 

[GasBandit]

Yeah, evil doesn't make you get in more fights or breakups, it just makes breakups near guaranteed to be lethal, and adds that possibility to fights. It's not violent in and of itself, just makes whatever other unpleasantness happens fatal.

What about you, @Officer_Charon , with all this explanation, do you still want to stick with evil or change the trait?[DOUBLEPOST=1380845159,1380844835][/DOUBLEPOST]

LOL I thought I nailed you pretty good there, Frank. What would you have me change? Surprisingly for an anime-based title, that's the only "spikey" style, little or big.

It's fine, I was just making a joke.

I don't think it's the look so much as the pose. He hates his own apparent traits that are making him look at us that way.

Hey, he crosses his arms to let us know he is a tough man, mister. What YOU lookin' at?

I do think it's funny though how the "brash flirt" girls have their arms thrown wide with the elbows back as if to say "hey check THESE out"

I'm kinda surprised at the restraint. I think most anime (and especially hentai) would need a bigger censor box.

There is a slider. It ranges from "Call protective services" to "Basketballs." I'm keeping it realistically set for high school students. Be thankful I don't have it set for realistic Japanese high school students.

@Shawnacy for your personality tastes you put subconscious traits instead of personalities.
