Artha Nominations
Artha Nominations
We will nominate and vote on Artha here. Please make sure to check this regularly! When a vote has passed, I will attempt to note that the artha should now be claimed.
Remember that only the GM nominates characters for Deeds, but players can and should nominate for anything else.

Re: Artha Nominations
Currently we have a few nominations:
Marullus for a Beliefs Fate point for the way he's interacted with the locals, really playing up the Cold trait, and trying to maintain an air of power.
VVhite-Crow for both a Beliefs Fate point and an Embodiment Persona point. He has done a great job of playing up his desire to take care of the Red Diamond, and his roleplay has been excellent thus far.

Re: Artha Nominations
Sorry, I somehow missed this, I think it's a good idea, this way we don't have to figure out "when sessions end".
Farouk: Yay for both - good job.
Nutesh: Nay. Sorry, I'd vote otherwise if you were more overt when leaning on your connection to Alagash.
Re: Artha Nominations
Yes to all!
You guys are SO Awesome.
I want to nominate Farouk for an Embodiment Persona - his flavorful dive into Middle East description has set the entire game so far.
Per clarification in Discord, Nutesh's final first belief is/was -
"The appearance of power is power itself" was the first lesson of Alagash. I will use the power of his name to secure what I need to go find the Red Diamond.
...I'd like to declare that one achieved and re-write to the new understandings.

Fair. In my mind, referring to living in the Nether was equivalent to Alagash's name. It didn't fit to talk about him directly.Nutesh: Nay. Sorry, I'd vote otherwise if you were more overt when leaning on your connection to Alagash.

Re: Artha Nominations
Even though the cold trait didn't cause any trouble yet I really like how it defined Nuteshs interactions so far. So I'm in the yay department.Marullus for a Beliefs Fate point for the way he's interacted with the locals, really playing up the Cold trait, and trying to maintain an air of power.
VVhite-Crow for both a Beliefs Fate point and an Embodiment Persona point. He has done a great job of playing up his desire to take care of the Red Diamond, and his roleplay has been excellent thus far.
For myself... well... yay?! ^^' Thanks for the kind words!
Re: Artha Nominations
That gives us a majority in each, as players are allowed to vote for themselves.
So, 1 Fate to Marullus, and 1 Fate and Persona to VVhite Crow.
Voting on this is complete, though late votes can be cast in support of a yay or nay, to help us get on the same wavelength. Post any new nominations below.

Re: Artha Nominations
Nutesh:
1) I'd like to nominate Nutesh for the Spirit Familiar trait, I think it is heavily colouring play.
2) There is also a bit of overlap with the 'Always check for ambushes and tails through Carrock's eyes' Instinct that I feel is about to cause a lot of trouble but I guess I'll wait for that trouble to peak before making that case.
Suen:
1) IMO, it is undeniable that the Instinct 'Always obey my sister' just got you into trouble.
2) Additionally, you could have done so in a way less self-destructive way that I want to reward your ballsiness. I think openly admitting to where your power comes from is sufficient to reward you Tainted Legacy trait.

Re: Artha Nominations
This may be the first time I've seen a good argument for Trait Fate. I completely agree with all of these nominations for both Nutesh and Suen-Magir.hidetzugu wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 11:04 am Nutesh:

If awarded, all of these nominations are for Fate points, so it would come out to two Fate points apiece.
Re: Artha Nominations
I also think Lilly's Beliefs about speed and being enamored with the Gifted humans is heavily coloring the action in camp. I would nominate for a Beliefs Fate point on that.

Re: Artha Nominations
I like all of the above! Especially Enoch's instinct and his choice for the Hideous! trait was awesome and created (at least for me) a lot of unexpected drama. And I have the feeling, that Suens Belief about using his gaze will play a role shortly.
Re: Artha Nominations
That's 3 out of the 5 of us, so Artha is awarded:
Nutesh: 2 Fate points
Suen-Magir: 2 Fate points
Lilly: 1 Fate point
Nutesh: 2 Fate points
Suen-Magir: 2 Fate points
Lilly: 1 Fate point

Re: Artha Nominations
I see why one could say it's doubled up, but I want to nominate Suen for another fate for his gaze Belief. The tainted legacy and his sisters influence started the commotion but using his gaze on Akhom turned it into a physical conflict, which is a whole nother level for me.
Re: Artha Nominations
I'm inclined to nay that one for that precise reason (I know! I'm such a debbie downer!)VVhite-Crow wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 7:03 pm I see why one could say it's doubled up, but I want to nominate Suen for another fate for his gaze Belief.

I somehow missed the text of the Belief! that is definitely worth a Fate
On the other hand: I would like to nominate Farouk for the Superstitious trait, as it generated some player conflict.
Re: Artha Nominations
I agree with hidetzugu on both of these.
That's enough for Suen-Magir to earn another Fate point.
If anybody else supports the nomination for Farouk, that will earn him a Fate point, as well.
Now I just need to find a way to make you folks burn through all this Artha you're earning.

Re: Artha Nominations
When Artha- (or better Fate-) bloat becomes a thing and the vote doesn't handle it, I would gladly give Eric a veto right. And I'll stop voting on my own nominations.
Oh, btw. I never really understood why you note the amount of Artha you spent on BITs. There are spaces on the character sheet and MrHyde updated it on his Forum-sheet for Lilly, but I see no mechanic that interacts with it.

Re: Artha Nominations
It's a really long-term thing (I've never reached it). If you spend 3 Deeds + 10 Persona + 30 Fate in a stat/skill it Grayshades.VVhite-Crow wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 8:32 pm When Artha- (or better Fate-) bloat becomes a thing and the vote doesn't handle it, I would gladly give Eric a veto right.

But maybe PBP will be the format that I eventually reach it!!!
Re: Artha Nominations
I vote yes on both!

Farouk has earned a Fate point!

Re: Artha Nominations
Woohoo!
I'm familiar with Epiphanies. I was speaking about the F, P and D next to your beliefs and instincts.
