BITE MY SHINY METAL @$$!

Who would be the person to contact through which method to discuss Lord Power/Skill ideas?  I've got a few that I'd like estimates of cost/feasibility on.

Feasibility you can start with me for an initial editing process at "ascombatgm@gmail.com".  Give me your idea of what you want to accomplish, and I'll give you my feedback on how I think it integrates with the current rules, i'll translate it into "rulesspeak" format, and maybe find you ways to lower the potential cost.  Final say on what its going to cost, and whether it truly flies, is up to Vinny.  We just like the editing process because it takes care of the step of editing later, when we want to issue you official cards fo your Lord Powers/Skills in the future.  Also having it in "rulespeak" format makes it much easier for the GM team to provide interaction rulings later on down the road.

Follow-up question:

I've been trying to write up my one and only Lord Power in rules-speak, but time has not been my friend of late, and I pretty much suck at rules-speak.  I managed it once, more or less, when I first proposed it, but all records of that are well and truly lost. 

Somebody wanna volunteer to help me with the translation if I can get my head together enough to put together the deets?  (It shouldn't be that hard, really, it's a subset of each of three existing powers combined, with a bit of tweakage and/or added limitations.)

Off Subject from above:

I was wondering. It was tossed about that the gathering hotel might not disappear. In the In Character thread it was said that it did disappear. If so Blackfell can join in on what is going on. If not give me a heads up cause I'd like to join in on the In Character action.

As I understand it, the Hotel is connected to the Bazaar complex.  During gatherings it manifests as the central reference point, taking the form of whatever establishment we're in.  The Casino is located inside, as well as a sized down, boutique style version of the greater shopping and entertainment district that is the Nexus Bazaar.  When the gathering is not on the Casino and the Boutiques are closed.  But the building still stands.

To everyone:

I had it from Avie at Dex11 that the hotel disappears completely and that it moves around. I asked specifically because I wanted to know if it remained a safe space for avatars after the gathering. I was specifically told no.

I don't know what this means for the casino and the boutiques. Maybe they remain near the Bazaar but close up until the next gathering?

I jumped in to Echo Gamin's thread 'Land Of Confusion'...Sounded appropriate for Blackfell. I just  hope I haven't jumped into water too deep for Blackfell LOL

Ok Final Answer regarding the Nexus Hotel in between gatherings, determined after discussing the matter with Avie:

Recent activities regarding the Bazaar/Hotel/Casino have provided some anchoring to the Hotel.  In between events, it still phases out of existence.  However, it's presence can still be felt at the location, connected to the fixed position of real estate, it normally manifests upon.

Short answer: its almost there, but it's not usable, contactable, etc.

This state of "there but not there" is, sadly, rather confusing. Leads me to the question of, if a Nexus gathering-place phases out of existence after a gathering, where is a safe place for Avatars to be between gatherings?

The Bazaar has robotic security patrols.  Additionally, you can be safe in domains, territories, and the council chambers.  Or even better, just hide somewhere no one will find you.
