Sounds of the STGOD?

Post by Marcao »

Heya guys:

I am back from my little trip and will be posting as soon as I can. I have spent a bit of time thinking about several mp3 songs in my meager collection that I have enjoyed listening and have come up with what I feel is a passable sound guide to various moments within the STGOD. The list is as follows, check out some of the songs if you can. I think they fit. :)

4) The Veithan Empire: Ebla (E.S Posthumus)
5) The Occupation of Ixa`gal: Furious Angels (Rob D)

7) The Kung-Fu Battle: Vater Unser (E-Nomine)
8) Nightfall on Temesvar: Max Payne 2 Theme (Max Payne 2)

Dalamar wouldnt have destroyed the evidence like that. Simple teleport + Garrot wire would work just as well.

Straha, you will note that my government has granted Dlamar a letter of Margue and diplomatic immunity. Your charges will not stick.

Diplomatic immunity has to be granted by the nation you're currently staying in to be worth anything, Alyrium.

*shrug* he still carries a letter of margue, and for all intents and purposes, is treated as a member of the secret service, who are authorized to use lethal force.

Once again, assuming that is respected in the nation which you are currently staying.

And lethal force may be allowed in some cases, but you just killed a civvie. The charges are a bit more solid now. :P

Aly, he's not a member of my police force, and he didn't recieve a letter of Marque from my nation. He killed a civvie, you have the incident on film, and we will charge you with it."

Whoa, he was a Photojournalist? Well I guess Dalamar's in deep shit now, he killed a completely innocent journalist. And I don't know much about diplomatic immunity, but I believe you still have to respect the laws of the government your under. If a vampire had diplomatic immunity he couldn't run off and start feeding on citizens just because back home he dines on them frequently.

Holy crapm that was a photojournalist!

Um.. I was under the impression that he was an assassin. In fact, Hotfoot seemed to have intentionally mislead me.

In fact, it was duscussed in OOC that he was a "2nd assassin" and hotfoot did nothing to clear that up.

I request to edit the post in order to take that into light. Seeing as I was told he was an assassin. And it is pretty fucked up to leave things that nebulous

I see little 'screwed up' with letting a wildly paranoid individual be paranoid and react in a paranoid manner.

Yes, yes it was. Now you shall suffer the consequences for your actions. :twisted:

I provided you with enough rope for you to hang yourself, which you did marvelously.
In fact, it was duscussed in OOC that he was a "2nd assassin" and hotfoot did nothing to clear that up.
Actually, the quote was second "sniper", which is technically true after a fashion. He was taking pictures of a target from seclusion.

You're right, it is pretty fucked up to leave things that nebulous, but guess what, that's life. You don't get perfect intel from a situation, especially when the shit hits the fan, like it did here. You had guys ready to pounce the moment they saw anything, despite the fact that there was no in-character reason for you to suspect that was the case. The downside of paranoia is false positives, and when your people act as quickly as you claim they do, without following any sort of preventative procedures, situations like this are bound to happen. There's a reason paranoia is not considered a positive trait. :roll:

You man approached mine from behind, so he wouldn't have gotten a good look at the camera or the press badge before you killed him.

So, yes, it was intentionally ambiguous, because I wanted to see how you'd react. If you had been perhaps a bit more sensible and less gung-ho about it, my man might have been roughed up a bit, but still alive, and Dalamar wouldn't be under arrest. Police follow procedures for a reason, after all.

Also, I have to question your ability to perfectly trap souls with zero prep time and no defenses. Willpower saves prevent the soul from being bound, and unless you study your target to know what type of crystal to use, the crystal will shatter and fail to do anything.

No.... Screwed up is tricking everyone, including thirdfain into thinking that there was a 2nd independant sniper.

Lets take a show of hands.

Who here, besides the people that Hotfoot told, would have concluded that that man was a journalist.

The soul trapping has no in-game efect. Merely an act of spite. He will of course, release the soul of the jounalist.

Hmm... Sarcophogi exist...

Your paranoia was used against you. In much the same way that the ball at Earth was used against many leaders.

Fair enough, though the Consortium will want the gem, intact as is for compensation.

Yes, so?

And, Alyrium, I played you, and you fell for it. Your rampant paranoia set you up for a fall, and I just facilitated it. :twisted:

Your "secret service" is going to have learn some new methods if they want to keep this from happening again...and again and again and again.

Would you rather have the gem, or your journalist, living breathing, and a little smarter about his photoshoots?

The gem. We're understandbly cautious about trusting alien medical technology, especially ones with such a negative history as sarcophogi.

We have our own methods.

Thoguh again, there is no legal basis to charge Dalamar, he was literally doing his job. And using US laws as a basis, it woul have been legal.

Charges or not, you're still going to be in quite a bad light from all this. You brutally murdered an innocent man on the assumption that he was a trained killer.

Also, I don't know which part of US law you're quoting to make this legal. Could you perhaps provide a reference?

Seems to me that even the guy who shot JFK was brought in alive... ;)
