So... what did I just miss in that proxy write-up? Feel free to email me offlist if you like?

I drew at least one negative #, somehow my pulls are all below my actual base pull. Even though I was never targeted by an effect beyond Cheval. Maybe it's a custom Cheval that penalizes rolls somehow.

I know what my base #s are, and there is no mathematical explanation that explains how those things happen.

Thanks but no thanks. I got enough of Christian's condesending attitude the last two times I tried to deal with him, and since Jon already certified it and it's published only the Council can touch it now and I've already got that T-Shirt no thanks.

It's done, there isn't anything anyone can do about it and all that is left now is for me to be a "good sport" and "think about the larger story".

It's like I said: The house is built on a broken foundation. It can not stand. I'm not waiting around for the next bunch of abusive jerks with ST friends to fall down on me.

It's not about having it out for me, if it was about me directly T would be dead. It's about allowing the same wrong calls, the same flat out unethical behavior to happen over and over again. It's not an isolated incident.

If I owe him an apology, fine but I'd be quite surprised.

So noted.

If it were the "find the location" tests, I could see Haven Security modifying it, but that doesn't apply once you're in.

Hmmm. Dread could drop you two points...

Possibly a Carthian devotion or a custom power could drop you more points. Nothing immediately comes to mind.

That particular bit of fuzzy math has been explained, though the answer only left more questions.

Though a custom power that hits targets with a slowing effect could be brutal.

How do you figure? I didn't see pull-by-pull in the write up?

I know what my base #s are and the base #s for other folks there, and there is no mathematical explanation for some of those pulls. Even if there is some Al Gore-esque fuzzy math that explains them, it doesn't explain the change in the setting that occurred without notification or the total ignorance of some folks written instructions.

Not having run the scene, I don't have much to say on it. I knew there were going to be some oddities with setting, because really? Who remembers where they stood three months ago?

As far as proxy instructions... I only know mine got honored. "I wasn't in the fight then... and I don't want to be now".
