Hello again, I am still Aquarion. I live in London, which makes it complicated (and a little expensive) to get to Treasure Trap, but I attend where I can. I play people who wish the world was simpler. I occasionally ref 3YGBs also in line with this aim. None of these personalities actually succeed, and the world remains too complicated.
My desire for simplicity has driven me to help ref Odyssey. You should play Odyssey if you don't.
(I am not reffing Empire. I am totally only NPCing. And not involved in anything else. Oh gods).
I can be contacted by emailing nicholas at aquarionics dot com. If you're in trouble, if nobody else can help, and you can't find me, maybe you should look at; Project walrus: http://hol.istic.net/walrus
I also host the Treasure Trap website and own the treasuretrap.co.uk domain where it's hosted. In the event I get hit by a bus, people who have admin access to the server to recover things include ccooke.
Being There
Because I live and work in London, I can't make it up to TT as often as I'd like or - judging by current attendance record - ever.
Characters
These are my current characters:
- Phillip /Panama - An entirely sane Journeyman Fire mage.
- HRH /Satrah Felltree - Berserker. King Kender. Of Mallan
- L. /Calamalac a Balanced Man.
- /Toast a small cat.
These are my non-current characters:
- /J J who writes J's Londinium when he isn't running for his life.
- Z, An Unbalanced Elf.
These were my Maelstromic Characters
- James /Detail Marshall-Frauser, Priest of the many paths
- A huntress executioner golem named Lancen who never got played
- A Weaver affiliated form-focused eidolon named Masquerade
I'm the straightjacketed nominal straight edge (not quite measured enough to be a ruler) of the Maelstromic IRC empire Maelfroth. You can find more details at http://www.maelfroth.org
Other Things
- LARP Linear Blind Spots /LinearBlindSpots
- I keep record of /EventTitles, almost all from my most-played characters perspective at the time.
- The rejected MOSAIC god of Lolcats, /Fluffins
- All of TT's /DeepDarkFOIPySecrets in one place. Standing offer of a packet of jelly babies to anyone who proves one true.
- I quit TT for a while due to - what I still opine - is an occasional tendancy to balance by numbers rather than experience, the overdramatic text of my objection and tantrum are at /OnChanges, and I still agree with almost all of it.
- /BrokenKender is significantly less true than I felt it to be at the time.
- I am opinionated about the way we do 3YGBs here: /ThoughtsOn3YGBs (And need to update that post the 2010 3YGB)
- I hate the AGM process, because (see /OnChanges) numberfaff and idealized munchkin builds make me upset.
- However, these are the reasons I hate your motion in specific: /WhyIHateYourAGMMotion
Statement of Stuff
- I believe that faffing with numbers (in TT) is dull.
- I believe that faffing with numbers (in TT) is almost always at the expense of flavour
- I believe that DAC is the third rail of balance arguments.
- I believe I have never enflamed an arrow in actual play.
- I believe that LARP is fun, and that you cannot balance it completely.
- I believe in miracles, since you came along.
- I believe in life after love.
- I believe in toast. Yay toast.
