RP General Discussion

Osokans are custom-designed to annoy Dark Siders- obviously not individually more dangerous, but unafraid of you, happy to go into melee, and very difficult to actually kill, even with a lightsabre- you drop them when you take them down but don't kill them, and then you have to waste time to actually kill one, during which time his friends are beating the heck out of you with the neurowhips.

The point being is that the only reasonable cause of action with them is to flee- it's just not worth the risk of fighting. Therefore we have a stick to beat you over the head with saying "Don't go around just killing whoever you like in the Republic else the Bureau will bring the Osokans in."

This forces you to actually think...

I'd be cautious of using them in the current rules system though Rex- I think they are still being finalised our end.

I think my kills on them were simply because I had managed to roll really, really well on what would otherwise had simply been an incapacitating strike.

They suck.

Yes they do.

It;s easy just to make something more powerful than you are, of course, but that defeats the point of playing Jedi (well, Dark Siders anyway) so this was the approach we took- an enemy simply too much hassle to fight rather than just simply one that kills you by looking at you.

I love that you need a tool for keeping dark-siders under control. Just too nasty for our own good. Or maybe just foolish - it's fine line!

Damn right- that player psychology for you...

Although they bicker amongst them-selves so much that they never make a decision so I wonder how they even have time to go around killing anything!

Can be an issue sometimes.

So it seems. I could die of boredom waiting for them to move the story along at their current rate! It is amusing though - so much hostility - I love it! 🙂 Still bored though 🙁

Yes, introducing Ranto into the group has been highly amusing for me...

Stupid frog-thing.

I would say that if Rand would actually answer questions posed to him about things, there'd be less bickering, but who am I kidding. Rianna will oppose him on just about everything simply because it's Rand.

And Dak will oppose Rand to get into Rianna's pants!

Wait, none of you read that. He will oppose Rand because it's fun!

He he - ok frog thing? What and who is Ranto then and where did it/he come from?

Anyway, what has slowed them down has not really been Ranto but a lack of clarity about the overall plan, but I think that is sorted now- we'll move on very soon.

We found him in the prison we're breaking out of eventually.

And I don't know if he's actually a frog-like thing or not (I don't remember), but he makes kinda froggy noises and Rand made a big deal out of his lack of gills, so yeah. He's a frog-thing.

(my descriptive skills are awesome)

Sounds a bit gross to me. I'd take him with you, find a big lake to dump him in and see he is a frog. If he sinks clearly not - and at least you won't have to put up with the noise anymore!

Ranto = so described now. I am in awe of how clearly I understand Ranto thanks to this post.

Shush, lizard-boy.

Now that is the way to think!

I have to say that when I read Ush writing what Ranto is saying, I actually imagine him sitting at his computer making those noises - an endless source of amusement!

... are you spying on me?

I did outright describe Ranto as useless.
