Whatever, mike post when you can, meetings cancelled. I'm not getting into a gm call again and this stuff makes the whole thing pointless.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Hahahaha wait what? Just because you can't have your way when it comes with Jack's being able to be unnoticeable when he wants to be, you're going to break up the meeting? Wow.

[lantzblades]

I'm not about to waste time posting stuff so you can ruin it like you always try to do.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

So you think Jack's going to interrupt this? Like hell he will. He's going to wait and see what happens and get as much information as he can about this. He's not interrupting this, and I've stated this before. He's just off in the corner waiting.

[lantzblades]

He's getting nothing as far as I'm concerned. I'm not having my characters continue. I'm well aware that you'll just ruin everything like you've been trying to ruin the game for me this whole time.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

So you are throwing a bitchfit here because Jack is going to stand there, listen, and not do anything to change the outcome of this meeting.

...Seriously Lantz, this is mindboggling to me that you're doing this. Again. He's just standing there. Not. Doing. Anything. He's just listening in. So your complaint is pretty much invalid because holy shit he's not doing anything but listening in on a private conversation (Which is what his freaking job is, he's a private investigator) and thinking about how to use the information he gets.

[lantzblades]

Private, exactly. And you'll no doubt use it to PK my characters like you've been doing since the start

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Considering you're talking about the grail war, yeah, he's going to absorb ALL THE INFORMATION. Privacy for Jack isn't an issue, because his fucking job is to basically invade people's privacy. And he's only going to use this info if it's relevant, otherwise he's going to sell it to Frost to keep him placated and off his turf. That's his job. Deal with it.

[lantzblades]

No Arch. Have fun with the bit you got. You aren't getting anymore

[Arch-Magos Winter]

In Character, your characters leaving doesn't make sense. In character Jack listening in makes sense.

So basically, you're metagaming.

[lantzblades]

It makes plenty of sense. They feel something is off, they don't know what so they stop talking and leave. Like a ghost's cold spots

[Arch-Magos Winter]

OK. First off. Obsfucate doesn't do that. You know he's there but you don't care. So no, they wouldn't feel that anything's off at all. That's the point of Obsfucate.

Second off, because of the first point, what you're doing is metagaming.

[lantzblades]

No Arch. Just no. It's a perception filter, like any filter it has holes. The sense of uncertainty would certainly not get past Satoshi or Connor, end of story.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Dude, the point with obsfucate is that it doesn't let anything feel wrong. He's there. You know he's there, you just don't give a shit.

So basically they won't feel anything wrong. If he was using Nightmare, then oh yes, they'd all be feeling something wrong.

[lantzblades]

Sorry no. Dragon and Demi god, bigger then your filter can process, which means they will feel off and leave.
