Actually, I was counting NPCs.

Psst. Matt isn't so much saying that Impact isn't telling the whole truth and that doesn't inspire confidence in him as a leader. Rather, he's saying that the implication that Impact might not always be willing to help people doesn't inspire confidence as a leader.

Yeah, I get that bit, but he's still saying that, due to lacking justification on Impact's part, he seems like a bad leader. And Impact's saying that that's a fallacy.

That Impact's brilliant display of emotion and personality has won over Pierce? *cheesy smile*

Fair enough, but NPCs don't count, since they ain't gonna lead.

It means that with the pause thing being explained as a you thing rather than Impact's, I can't use it as evidence to have Pierce distrust Impact. Which means we're left with two pieces of evidence: Impact's silver tongue and his comments during the first briefing, neither of which are enough for Pierce to think anything concrete about Impact. Hence, doesn't trust, but doesn't distrust.

You basically just retconned Pierce's opinion of Impact.

Retcon, fuck yeah!
Still, I'll try to keep the long pauses minimal from now on. Just to make sure. In fact, from now on, when he does use long pauses, assume he's being either sinister or highly emotional. Or both.

Edit: Argh. You know when you have your character give a clue as to his sinister true goals, but then don't remember that you had him do that? Yeah. That's what is, I think, scientifically called a "fail". -.-

It did clue you in to one of Matthias's methods though.

Tearing apart your statements for any clue as to any hidden intention.

I do believe a change of plan is in order.

Charlotte and Pierce will torture Impact and Matt.

Bard The 5th LW · 04-08-2010, 12:15 AM

Hmmm... Impact sounds fun, but they're are probably so many more ways to inflict pain on Matt. I'll give Dracorion first pick.

Dracorion · 04-08-2010, 12:16 AM

Eeenie meenie minie moe.

Let's go with Matt. Impact probably has torture training, so we're better off practicing on Matt first.

Geminex · 04-08-2010, 12:20 AM

Re-he-he-he-heally? You? Torture me? Come now, that's just silly.
And besides, for what reason? Impact was more than open about his goals.

Dracorion · 04-08-2010, 12:21 AM

For giggles? Hell, I dunno.

I'll figure something out, even if I have to make some shit up.
