+1 Attack and +1 Diplomacy.

I should say, I bought Vera during the Day.

And I picked the Moderate Mission to be on the economic side of things. I doubt the difficult mission would have been "9 Diplomacy" but I didn't want to take any chances.

Is it possible to buy more Hastily Forged Documents, or possibly Vera? I have $350 left.

I bought Vera. We got this.

Jeebus with the Diplomacy missions.

Well. Huhm....

If we get this I'm gonna hold onto the money for a bit, see what items hit the market.

Please let Mac fail his dumb mission.

Well, we tried.

Don't forget to PM her just to be safe.

If it were me I'd buy either the bonus 50% payout item or a +1 Diplo item to seal up a win.

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Sun Aug 19, 2018 12:23 am Alright, I'm gonna come out with some info I received near the end of Night 3. I was hesitant to say it then, because Mac was being kind of a jerkface.

Apparently, in his last will and testament, or whatever, Sokoth left me $150. Fuck if I know why he did.

But, it means I have a total of $550 which I can use to buy items.

insertnamehere wrote: ↑Sun Aug 19, 2018 12:10 am I got some monies that I'm willing to put forward towards an item

I'm tippity tapped out but we should have enough collectively to get at least +1 more Diplomacy so we'd be at a total of +5 (And whatever DF has) which gives us at least a 50% shot.

Cool beans. [mention]insertnamehere[/mention] if you still have money from the two successful jobs we did you should be able to get +1 Diplomacy as well.

Then whatever DF has.

Linki - Haha fuck yes

P.S We need diplomacy so if you have money to spend, spend it on that. [mention]Enrique[/mention] I would be really mad if a crew member of mine stole money from me twice in a row so pls be my friend.

A poopy bad man betrayed us.

I dunno if we'll be able to complete our mission, but if I were you guys I'd buy items to help. Or not. You know. Do you. Who am I.

Lol 1d6 and some of these fucking missions are 13-15 difficulty.

That was my mistake. I don’t usually tell you the modifiers thatcfont apply, but I forgot that. I always tell your Captain though ahead of time. Tracey Smith is not in your crew.

I'm an "Unnamed" Mudder.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Thu Aug 16, 2018 12:14 am So we win the mission. You keep the money and jump off your own ship and onto another ship, leaving us all penniless?

At least I have a shirt I suppose. Unlike INH and Enrique our resident Mafioso.

I ain't going nowhere with nothin'

Now quit your pissin' match bullshit. I don't recall anybody else asking you to join their crew twice. You got a ship to fly cuz I let you fly my motherfuckin' ship. You came up in this bitch without a penny to your name, and I bought that fuckin' shirt with my hard earned cash.

So if you wanna puff out your chest, fine. But don't forget who butters the fuckin' bread around here.

Lets not trip over our dicks fighting for cash we don't have yet. We pass the mission, then we can worry about who gets paid what.

Counterpoint.

You were Mal, then you were Hoban. You are destined to be on my ship.
How do you expect to complete missions without a pilot, diplomacy or this fabulous shirt DharmaHelper? All I am asking is to be paid the market value for pilots with fabulous shirts. If I leave the ship your ship is cooked. If you lose this pilot the rest of your crew will surely mutiny and you will be left a husk of your former self. Defeated, purposeless. Golden may extend you the courtesy of a position in the galley on his ship, but that would surely damage your pride. All because you didn't give a talented pilot with a fabulous shirt his fair wage.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Thu Aug 16, 2018 12:03 am I am sure there are other ship's captains that'd happily pay more than equal share to a pilot of my status with a shirt as grand as mine.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Thu Aug 16, 2018 12:01 am With this amazing shirt I am able to impress people into liking me more. Ergo I am of great value to this ship's captain. So I expect to be compensated as such.

If we pass the check you'll be compensated to the tune of $400 and not being on the lynch poll.

Done.

In the future, let’s use PMs so I can easily track who asks to purchase an item first.

OK, my b.

+6 Diplomacy, we need 9 to pass the check. I feel pretty good about that. If we pass that's $1600 between the four of us, $400 each.

I feel much better about splitting the money evenly as opposed to giving it to say, me to hold onto. What if our banker gets NKed? If one of us drops, we still have $1200.

[mention]Spacedaisy[/mention] I buy Kaylee's Dress

INH my boi

Could I have ya monies.

This is you trying to get a fellow scum onto our ship isn't it Enrique.

DH kick this scum off our damn ship.

I will consider it.

I will consider it. I'd like to stop taking on water before we start taking on crew.

I'm a Mudder.

Just a heads up I'm putting myself on the poll. Should I not?

[mention]MacDougall[/mention] You have enough to buy the shirt.

[mention]insertnamehere[/mention] You want the other item or?

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2018 11:43 pm No. Give me the money. I can buy the shirt myself.

I send Mac 250 bucks [mention]Spacedaisy[/mention]

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2018 11:42 pm How deos that put us in good shape when we need 9 to pass?

These #'s are added to a dice roll. So we just need a 3+ on the dice roll. Not sure which dice she's using but probably a D6 which means we need 3, 4, 5, or 6.

Well fuck there ya go lads +6 minimum, we got this ezpz. Give me the money [mention]Enrique[/mention] [mention]insertnamehere[/mention] And I'll buy the items.

Enrique wrote: ↑Wed Aug 15, 2018 11:38 pm I'm confused by the numbers. Do we have Walsh and Kaylee? If we have a shot I'm fine w sending you my bucks.

I'm Stitch for future reference.

I'm neither Wash nor Kaylee but if we did that would only be +2, the items are base +1

+1 from Wash's Item
+1 From Kaylee's item
+2 From Soldier (our solider is still alive)
+1 From Mac

So thats +5 unless INH or Mac are Kaylee/Wash. If At least one of them is one of those thats +6 total, +7 if they're both those roles.

So *worst* case we have +5, best case +7, either way that puts us in good shape.

Both of those are $250 btw. I have $200 and INH and Enri should still have $150 from our one successful mission. So we have enough to buy those two items?

Wash’s Hawaiian Shirt - +1 Diplomacy for as long as the player holds it (+2 If Wash holds it)
Kaylee's Fluffy Pink Dress - $250 - +1 Diplomacy for as long as the player holds it (+2 if Kaylee holds it)

And 1 of us is a soldier, right? So thats +4 Diplo if we do that? And +1 from Mac so +5?

pls pick winnable jobs in the future.

This is literally the only job available.

The good news is this job is worth 1600 bucks.

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 13, 2018 6:51 pm @DharmaHelper Please PM me the name of the person you would like on the poll if your crew completes the job successfully.

*If* we fail

Good one.

nvm I misread.

Spacedaisy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 13, 2018 12:52 pm Your Captain has chosen to take you to Ezra to attempt to complete the Easy job from Niska for a payout of $1500

In order to pass this check you must achieve a 9 in the Diplomacy skill.

There are no modifiers that apply for this crew.

If any of you who have any Diplomacy Skill Stats wish to abstain from assisting your captain in completing this job, you may tell me so privately by PM by 8 PM eastern tonight. Once I know who is participating a die will be rolled and added to the total attack stats from your crew that are contributing. The total will determine if you pass or fail.

At the end of N2 I will inform you if you have passed this skill check. In the meantime you may want to discuss strategy amongst yourselves.

Fam the check is a Diplomacy check not an attack check?

If anyone here is a Crow we have like... a 50% chance. We'd be in much better shape ironically with SQ alive.

I think the "Easy" one is our best shot with +3 diplomacy base. +2 if anyone's a crow.

These are the available jobs at Ezra:
Easy - $1500 (9 Diplomacy to pass)

Moderate - $2000 (11 Attack to pass)

Difficult - $3000 (13 Diplomacy to pass)

Additionally, the following modifiers always apply when working for Niska:
-2 Skill stat for having Malcolm Reynolds, Zoe Washburne, Hoban Washburne, Derrial Book, Kaylee Frye, Jayne Cobb, River Tam or Simon Tam on your crew
+2 Skill stat for having a Crow on your crew

Any preferences?

That is an unfortunate downside but some things can't be helped.
