I thought it might be useful to chronicle a day's worth of running TMP. I find that a lot of people underestimate how much time it takes to run a large website:
You just cut-and-paste press releases, right? How hard can that be?
I also suspect the exercise will be useful for me, in helping me understand how I use my time.
Starting the Day
Part of my morning ritual is to check in on the website, to make sure that things are "OK." That is, is the site up today? (Good!) Did the headlines I scheduled show up? (Yes!) Has anyone posted any obscene topics to the Message Boards? (No...good!) Any flame wars?
Wait, someone has started a topic on who paints better, historicals or non-historicals - I better read that one... OK, it's safe so far. :-)
What's this? There's a topic just called Supporting Member - I wish sometimes people were more descriptive with their topic names, I can't tell if this is going to be "pro" or "con." OK, I've read it, it's someone who's just paid up and wants their Supporting Membership stars. That requires action from me, so I bop over to that database and add them in - OK, that works, but email isn't going out from the official TMP account. Hmmm...that happens from time to time, usually resolves itself in a few minutes.

It's been 5 days since huge earthquakes hit Japan. My family and relatives live in Tohoku region. Luckily they survived and the houses are ok. For those who are in similar situations (who doesn't have to evacuate from their residense), there's a common anxiety growing larger and larger; they don't have enough gas to maintain their ordinary activities.
Tohoku region is, generally speaking, a very rural area. Most people can't commute or go buy groceries without cars. Even most of public transportations like buses and trains (you know, in quite a few areas down there, they are not electric) need gases. Of course grocery stores can't get items, which happens at especially small stores. I guess in less populated areas, if this situation continues, there's going to be shortage of foods and economic activity will nearly halt. In Tokyo too, either gas stations don't have enough supply or people are rushing into gas stations out of worries. As in a press conference, it seems it's true that there's not enough gas for everyone to stock unnecessary amount.
As you might already know, gas is also critical for helping those who are directly damaged in the disaster and waiting to be rescued. To provide foods and water for evacuated people, gas is necessary. Rescue vehicles need gas. So for now, lack of gas affects severely damaged areas.
There's already a short term problem in effect. In a long term, lack of gas affects those who have survived, which in turn may slow down the economy in Japan. Everyone here needs to calm down a bit and help manage limited amounted of resource.

From the outside, apocalyptic movements are hard to comprehend or understand. Repeated promises that the 'end is nigh', often with a specific date attached, lead to nought. The world keeps turning and apocalypse keeps being postponed. Why don't people leave when it becomes clear that their beloved guru or pastor got it wrong? When it dawns on them that they sold all their earthly possessions and said goodbye to their nearest and dearest for no reason at all? Why does (often repeated) evidence that they are victims of a fraud not convince members of these groups to abandon them and thus leave their false prophets without followers or financial backing? Well, because the wrongness is part of the sell. Each time the true believers agree, once again, to suspend their critical faculties they are distanced still further from everybody else. The sceptics are winnowed out. The credulous stay. And to the leaders of these outfits one hundred devotees are worth infinitely more than one thousand mere sympathisers. And so it is for Labour's leadership.
Labour did not win the General Election, though they did do better than expected. This week Labour failed again. They failed to win new councils in London and actively lost one to the Conservatives. They failed to make significant gains outside of London, with a couple of notable exceptions. They did not win outright in Trafford. They lost Derby – home city of Corbyn's most disciple-like parliamentary ally Chris Williamson. What was supposed to mark the next staging post on Corbynism's steady ascent to Government now looks more like the beginning of a hasty descent back to base camp. The prophesies will need rewriting.
None of this is the case because the British people have fallen in love with Mrs May or with the Conservative Party. They did badly too. Limping manfully onwards, the Tories lack the capacity to excite or enthuse. Voters are generally pretty sick of this Government and – ironically – via Windrush and Grenfell Theresa May is rebadging her party as 'nasty' in many people's minds. Brexit is a disaster – or rather, a menu of disasters from which the Cabinet cannot even agree on which disastrous sharing platter to order – and the most loyal of Ministers are discarded in haste to cover up for the Prime Minister's own actions and decisions as a Minister in the previous Government. And yet, and yet…. Still Labour cannot break through. Still an odd, uneasy stalemate reigns.
The truth is that voters dislike Theresa May but are – in significant enough numbers for it to be a real problem – actively scared of Jeremy Corbyn. Short of the apocalypse genuinely approaching – the meteor lingering in the sky, the doomsday clock hovering at one minute to midnight – we will not elect someone we are afraid of. The true believers narrow – whittled down by events, by reality intruding, by genuine horror at the antisemitism or the disingenuousness on Brexit – but that is ok. Because the true believers may be fewer in number but they are united in faith. They have one shared objective – Jeremy – while their enemies within the party struggle to agree on anything much other than their shared misery. Jeremy Corbyn will almost certainly never be Prime Minister. But, for the moment, he is safe as Leader. Literally, he is going nowhere fast.
But that doesn't mean that the fact we are past 'peak Corbyn' doesn't spell danger for someone. Ironically, the declining chances of Corbyn winning an election make Mrs May's continued premiership altogether less certain. She has been kept in place, in part, by her backbenchers' fear of a Corbynista Government. They couldn't shove her out of the way if that meant – possibly – an election that Jeremy could win. As Tory MPs grow less anxious about Corbyn's prospects they also grow less cautious. Ambitions begin to bubble, alliances start to be forged, corners are plotted in while Cabinet Ministers make it clear that they would do things differently. Whilst it is the Labour Leader who had the worse week electorally it is the Prime Minister who has most to fear.

The Ethiopian model rose to fame when Tom Ford tapped her to walk in his fall/winter show for Gucci in 2000, and she has since gone on to pick up major campaigns for Estee Lauder, Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana. While Liya enjoyed seeing a diverse selection of models on the runway at some recent Fashion Week presentations in February and March (17), she will be interested to see how brands make moves to promote a range of people in advertising. "I think it's a little easier to be more inclusive on the runways, (whereas) in advertising you have one or two people in the photos, so you have to be really specific," she told Vogue.com.

Germany is often considered one of the world leaders in sustainability—spearheading campaigns to reduce carbon emissions and initiating new and intelligent concepts towards more ecological technologies. There have even been two German cities awarded European Green Capital champions in the past 10 years: Hamburg (2013) and Essen (2017).
The capital city didn't live up to the German standard this past week, however, when Berlin's mayor Michael Müller rejected a new cycling law that could reduce CO2 emissions in the capital city significantly.
The cycling situation in Berlin
Activists have accused Mayer Michael Müller of blocking the new cycling law that could help Berlin reach its goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 40% on 1990 levels by 2020. Currently, it's estimated that the city will barely reach the 20% reduction mark.
The initiative "Volksentescheid Fahrrad" ("bicycle referendum") is currently trying to collect sufficient signatures to force a referendum on a new law to bring a variety of improvements towards the cities cycling infrastructure, making it safer and convenient for residents to choose this method of transport. These changes include: making dangerous crossings safer for cyclists, developing a 250 km network of bike lanes throughout the city and 200,000 extra parking spaces.
A difference of opinion on cycling law
While Berlin's government is defending their choice to reject the cycling law, and the decision is more complicated than it seems to on surface. Michael Pallgen, spokesman for the ministry of urban development and the environment says,
"Sustainable mobility should, in the government's opinion, be guaranteed with preference for public transport, cycling, and pedestrians. But that always has to happen in an integrated plan as part of a total transport policy. Re-structuring streets and public spaces is always a negotiating process of different interests and needs."
Müller opened the "German Habitat Forum," a conference "aimed at making cities more sustainable and livable" and that "Mr. Müller is happy to be the host of the event because in Berlin you can directly observe participatory sustainable development."
Critics have noted that, "in reality, Berlin is building automobile highways that would be deemed unacceptable from an environmental perspective."
Campaigners also say that Müller has deliberately stalled the cycling law initiative, especially by inflating the costs of construction to €2.1 billion, which is realistic if you make the maximum possible construction costs, making no allowance for intelligent solutions.
Rammler says that even the most expensive cycling path will be a fraction of that of a road: "One kilometer of cycle lane costs 200,000 euros, but one kilometer of highway costs six million euros."
As well, Berlin is blessed with very wide streets and implementation of cycle paths would not be significantly disruptive to traffic.
Challenges of urban traffic
With dense concentrations of automobiles in a relatively small area, urban traffic is considered one of the world's biggest polluters. According to Stephan Rammler, professor of transportation design in Braunschweig, approximately 70% of the world's CO2 emissions are derived from cities, with roughly 23% of that generated by road traffic.
In the future, global road traffic is only expected to increase, especially as incredibly densely populated developing countries become more affluent. In fact, Rammler states that the traffic is expected to increase by several orders of magnitude in the next few decades and, "No one, no scientist, has any idea of how that traffic increase will be dealt with," according to Deutsche Welle.
And in Germany, for example, the traffic sector seems to be making no significant trend towards more sustainable solutions in comparison to other sectors, such as energy. There is some hope, however, as illustrated by the fact that the German government will be providing €1 billion in subsidies for electric vehicles.
"Sustainability starts in our cities"
According to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, "Our struggle for global sustainability will be on or lost in cities." Dense populations, relatively short routes and the ability to integrate many alternatives to individual vehicles imply urban areas can make the most significant impact towards sustainable traffic solutions.
Rammler was thus so surprised by Müller's rejection of the law, which would make cycling easier and safer in the city and potentially reduce each Berliner's carbon footprint by 0.3 tons per year.

Bet: Oyonnax -1.5
Odds: 1.88
Stake: 4/10
Bookie: 188Bet
The first day of Pro D2 ends this Sunday at 16h15 with a clash between Aurillac and Oyonnax. The meeting was originally scheduled on Friday evening, but was postponed following the accidental death of Louis Fajrowski, the Aurillacois center.
Aurillac finished 10th last season after playing the lead in 2016/2017. This summer, they lost a very large number of players. Maxime Escur (Tarbes), Maxime Granouillet (Colomiers), Nemani Nagusa (Newcastle), Romain Briatte (Agen), Utu Maninoa (Montauban), Théo Nanette (Grenoble), Maxime Petitjean (retired), Alex Luatua (Montauban), Robet Lilomaiava (Montauban) have all left the club. To compensate for these departures, the directors have taken in many young players and many unknowns.
Aurillac had a drama last week. His centre, Louis Fajrowski died after a friendly match. His funeral took place last Friday and the players are still in shock.
The aurillacoise infirmary is already full. About fifteen players are injured. Among them, there are several potential starters like Anthony Alves, Gregory Fabro, Christian Ostberg, Flavien Nouhaillaguet, Feliuaki Taukeiaho, Lucas Seyrolle, Jone Waqaliva. The XV which starts this Sunday seems to me very light in front. At the back, there are some good players but the bench is weak.
Oyonnax finished second to bottom of TOP 14 after coming out of nowhere. The players of Haut-Bugey thought they had done the hardest but they lost in a play-off in Grenoble ! Despite the downhill, Oyonnax managed to keep many leaders. The USO's opener Ben Botica, who has been invited by many TOP 14 clubs, has chosen to continue the adventure at USO. He was followed by Tommy Raynaud, Valentin Ursache, Phoenyx Battye, Bilel Taieb, Rory Grice, Dug Codjo, … Only five important players have left the club: Hika Elliot (not retained), Viliami Ma'afu (retired), Patrick Sobela (LOU), Ulupano Seuteni (Bordeaux) and Daniel Ikpefan (Toulon).
Oyonnax even managed to recruit several confirmed players like Etienne Herjean (Brive), Joffrey Michel (Montpellier) or Blaise Dumas (Vannes). This team has managed to maintain stability and this can be seen in the start XV. The front 8 is very solid and at the back, there is speed and quality. What about the bench which has many skilled players.
The Pro D2 is very strong this season. We could see a two-tier championship. Aurillac could experience a very difficult start to the season with its infirmary full and its many departures of leaders. I see the USO making a big start. Right handicap : Oyonnax -4.5

Back in the heyday of the territorial era of pro wrestling it didn't get more hardcore than "Wild" Bull Curry! Curry was a sight to behold with those trademark bushy eyebrows and his wild facial contortions that made fans truly believe he was a madman. He was one of the most notorious rule breakers of his era, often using his trademark brass knuckles. However, when Brass Knuckles were legal he would excel, having won a version of the Brass Knuckles title in Texas on at least 20 occasions. How will he fare against more modern day hardcore wrestlers in your fed? And will anyone dare to meet him in a Brass Knuckles match?

So, I'm starting a Gunstar Autochthonia game, and while doing research on potential threats I could toss at my players, I came to something of a realization, even within the close-knit Exalted community, there's not a whole lot of agreement or even material on the Yozis not spoken of at length in MOEP: Infernals or Broken Winged Crane. So! What do you all think of them? Are there any interpretations or elaborations that have stood out for you?
The Yozis/Primordials I'm most interested in at present are Oramus, Mardukth and Metagaos, but I'm interested in anything y'all have used or has stood out.
No announcement yet.

The same. Although, in case I didn't mention it, this is/was for a Gunstar Autochonia game, so the Mountain and the Beast Upon It is alive and well. Heck ,the Circle has managed to kill one of his Chosen already, and made an enemy of one of his Second Circle Daevas, the Lord of Birds, Zezoothe.
Also, sicne this thread seems to have been reinarncated, I'll toss my own hat in the ring for Oramus charms. I have to credit Arrghus for inspiring a lot of these, as his and my ideas overlapped a bit. While this isn't much, I have more in the works.

Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Prereqs: None
While he first arose in the infinite possibilities of the Wyld, Oramus is neither constrained nor burdened by the madness of that realm, his lustrous down shielding from all but the most apocalyptic shaping. When a Titanic Exalt purchases this charm, they can ignore the effects of environmental shaping so long as they commit the essence. Purchasing this charm again allows the Exalt to render themselves immune to all shaping actions as long as they commit the essence to the charm.
Sight Beyond Sight Prana

Min: Essence 2
Type: Supplemental
Duration: Instant
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious,
Prereqs: Down of Koans Unasnwered
Oramus' senses aren't constrained by time and space, but by the perceptions of others. The Exalt can add their essence to rolls to detect or sense something. However, for ever y other character in the scene, the Exalt must add an additional mote, as their extra perspectives distort the supernal sight Oramus grants.
Gazing into the Gossamer Veil
Cost: - (+1ep)
Min: Essence 3
Type: Supplemental
Duration: Permanent
Prereqs: Sight Beyond Sight Prana
Oramus can discern the entirety of Creation from the imprints that its inhabitants make on the Shinmas. Like their Patron, this charm permanently improves Sight Beyond Sight Prana, allowing it to be used on the Shinmas, granting them stupendous range in their senses. However, should the Exalt attempt to observe other realms with this charm, the cost increases by one willpower.
Footsteps on Glass Practice
Cost: 10m
Min: Essence 2
Type: Simple
Duration: (Journey's duration)
Prereqs: Gazing into the Gossamer Veil
What Oramus can sense, he can interact with. This charm allows the Titanic Exalt to peel back the Shinma and travel along the underside of its surface. This cuts the travel time to a quarter of the normal duration or a minimum of five days, whichever is less, and can travel to other realms of Existence, provided the Exalt knows of them. The Exalt can be tracked with supernatural senses while so doing, with an external penalty of the Exalt's (Essenc). If trying to enter the World-Body of a Titan, the Exalt must get permission first. Also, while this charm allows the Exalt to travel in the infinite expanse beneath Creation's foundations, it does not prevent harm from the endless abyss of formlessness that exists there, necessitating use of Down of Koans Unanswered.
Aerie in Your Soul Methodology
Cost: 3m (+6m for Perfect Defense)
Min: Essence 2
Type: Reflexive (Step 7)
Duration: Instant
Prereqs: Gazing into the Gossamer Veil
Shinmas are merely Laws upon which all of Creation are beholden to. The Titanic Exalt can then draw upon the Law of their own Exaltation's power to draw up a small Shinma and cover themselves in it like a poncho. This adds a bonus of the Exalt's (Essence) to both their lethal and bashing soak values. This charm can be repurchased at Essence 3, and upgrades the charm to be able to act as a perfect soak that can defend against even unsoakable attacks. This defense then carries the Imperfection of the Dragon Beyond.
The Imperfection of the Dragon Beyond:
Oramus is almighty, but cannot affect that which he cannot sense. To this end, defenses with this imperfection cannot defend against sneak attacks or attacks the Exalt cannot see.
Azure Peacock of Sevenfold Stigmata Shintai
Cost: 10m, 1wp
Min: Essence 4
Prereqs: Footsteps on Glass Practice, Aerie in Your Soul Methodology(*2)
Making the Lesser Sign of He Who is Not, the Exalt's body shifts into a form befitting the magnificent altruism that Oramus exhibits with his creations, gaining five limbs and a cloak of feathers, along with nine bleeding wounds, one upon each wrist, their side and their feet. This charm grants the user the benefit of (Essence*2) number of successes they can apply to any action while in this form. They can also grant these successes to those they are allied with, provided it is to a rolled pool. They also can perform defend other actions for any being they can sense with Sight Beyond Sigh Prana, such is the Agape of the Bluebird of Happiness.

Considering that one of the patrons of the Abyssals is a Neverborn named He Who Holds In Thrall, I suspect Mardukth isn't doing well, health-wise.
Leave a comment:
I had worked up some Oramus Charms at one point, but only have the rough draft (without costs, keywords, etc.). They're in the spoiler box below, and are in very rough form.
What Is and What Should Never Be
The Dragon Beyond the World only ever sees that which Is Not, the beings, concepts, and stranger things fundamentally forbidden to Creation by the nature of the Shinma chosen to define it. What stupefying wonders and bright horrors are there to behold! Compared to these, the material of Creation is as dross and ash, an unfit subject for meditation. By his deeds shall the Impossible Dragon sing this truth. The Infernal becomes the gatekeeper of unearthly magnificence, gaining a Stunt Pool equal to the sum of his two lowest Virtues. As with a Raksha Stunt Pool, the Infernal may draw dice from this pool to supplement any action, including an action that would not normally qualify for a stunt (the Storyteller always has first preference for granting stunt dice to an action). No action may have more than three stunt dice applied to it in total, whether from the Storyteller, this Charm, or a combination of the two. Successes granted by any stunt dice are treated as normal stunt dice successes that can activate (Yozi) Mythos Exultant benefits. This Stunt Pool automatically refreshes at the beginning of each story. Additionally, stunt dice that are retained through Oramus Mythos Exultant can be added to the Stunt Pool, up to the Stunt Pool's maximum. An Essence 3 repurchase of this Charm increases the Stunt Pool to the sum of the Infernal's highest and lowest Virtues, while an Essence 4 repurchase increases the Stunt Pool to the sum of the Infernal's two highest Virtues. A final repurchase at Essence 5 increases the Stunt Pool to the sum of all of the Infernal's Virtues.
However, dwelling on the insane, terrible beauty of the Beyond has a price; as the Infernal's attention is drawn towards the Beyond, she finds it harder to focus on the mundane things of Creation. The Infernal suffers an external penalty to all Perception and Awareness rolls equal to her permanent Essence while in Creation.
Play the Music, Light the Lights
[prereq: What Is and What Should Never Be]
[Sorcerous, Scene-long, Simple]
How can these mobile lumps of clay stand to live in such drear? Oramus shall give them a glimpse of profound horror, such that they shall never forget the powerful dramas enacted just beyond their vision! The Infernal creates a Wyld zone, centered on her, with a radius of [permanent Essence x 100] yards. At Essence 10, this changes to a radius of (permanent Essence) miles and becomes a Blasphemy effect. Countermagic targeted at the center of the Wyld zone dispels it. The Wyld zone has all the characteristics of a Bordermarch, becoming a Middlemarch at Essence 3, Deep Wyld at Essence 4, and Pure Chaos at Essence 5.
Impresario's Sure Hand
[prereq: Play the Music, Light the Lights]
It is not proper for a director to become entranced by the scenery and lose sight of the production. The Infernal becomes perfectly immune to effects of exposure to the Wyld, including mutation and Wyld Addiction.
Sheltering the Troupe
[prereq: Impresario's Sure Hand]
In rare moments of relative sanity, the Lord of Not sees the value of protecting useful friends from the wrenching beauties of the Beyond. The Infernal can extend the protection of Impresario's Sure Hand to any number of targets at a cost of 2m per target; this protection lasts for the remainder of the Scene. An Essence 4 repurchase extends the duration of this protection for a number of weeks equal to the Infernal's permanent Essence.
Calculating Dho-Hna Angles
[prereq: What Is and What Should Never Be]
[Supplemental, Combo-OK]
Through his unfathomable power and profound madness, Oramus can defy the Shinma for brief periods of time to impose alien principles and paradoxical truths on an unsuspecting reality; who can hope to defend against that which has no precedent or referent to the possible? A physical attack supplemented by this Charm becomes unexpected, with no chance for the victim to engage in a roll to remove this label. Only Charms or similar magical effects that explicitly remove the unexpected label, such as Threat Monitoring Excitement, can allow the target to defend normally. An Essence 4 repurchase permits this Charm to be used to supplement Social Attacks. This Charm has a tiered cost. If the Infernal is in Creation and Yu-Shan, it costs 8m. In the Bordermarches or the Underworld, it costs 4m. In the Middlemarches or Malfeas, it costs 2m. In the Deep Wyld, it costs 1m. In Pure Chaos, it costs 0m.
Dreams of Air and Darkness
[prereq: Calculating Dho-Hna Angles]
[Supplemental, Combo-OK]
The Dragon Beyond the World was feared by all who opposed him, and rightly so; what can shelter you from that which is only as tangible as a dream, yet horribly real? This Charm follows all of the same rules as its prerequisite, including costs, but permits the supplemented attack to ignore any bonuses granted to the target's DV by cover. An Essence [XX] repurchase allows the Charm to ignore natural soak and any soak and Hardness from non-Artifact armor as well.
Deadly Trompe l'oeil
[prereq: Calculating Dho-Hna Angles]
[Supplemental, Combo-OK]
During the Primordial War, many were the Exalted hosts who thought to attack Oramus from afar or to engage him in guerilla hit-and-run battles. They were…disappointed to discover that the Impossible Dragon did not honor such concepts as "distance." This Charm follows all of the same rules as its prerequisite, including cost, but permits the Infernal to attack any target who has physically attacked the Infernal on the target's last action tick, regardless of the distance between the Infernal and the target. The Infernal does not actually move as a result of this Charm; she simply draws upon exotic and alien formulations to fold and pierce the concepts of space and distance for an action. When used against a Charm that imposed an arbitrary amount of distance between the Infernal and the target, such as Swallowed in Eternity, a roll-off is required. An Essence [XX] repurchase of this Charm permits the Infernal to attack such a target even if the target is in another plane of existence from the Infernal.
Actors in a Child's Play
[prereq: What Is and What Should Never Be]
What delight the Impossible Dragon takes in the Raksha! While they are still lesser, pitiful beings, at least they struggle in their feeble ways to comprehend the majesty of the Beyond. Oramus honors them by joining in their little games. The Infernal may choose to engage in Shaping Combat with a Raksha, as described in Graceful, Wicked Masques. For these purposes, the Infernal's rating in each Grace corresponds to the Infernal's applicable Virtue, plus the Infernal's permanent Essence score. In the unlikely event that the Infernal is defeated in Shaping Combat, the Infernal is affected like any other Creation-born entity.
Painted Wooden Swords
[prereq: Actors in a Child's Play]
The Raksha must forge their weapons, monsters, and conjurations out of the vital essence of what defines them; Oramus is not so limited. The Infernal conjures a Shaping Combat weapon or armor into existence by rolling (the appropriate Grace + Craft), which may always be supplemented by the First Oramus Excellency, against a Difficulty of the Artifact value of the Shaping Combat weapon or armor. The weapon or armor produced by this Charm is only useful in Shaping Combat; a conjured behemoth, for example, cannot be set free to rampage across Creation and is not built with mutations.
Bright Costumes and Bold Makeup
[prereq: What Is and What Should Never Be]
History records that Oramus was a mighty dragon with seven limbs, but he was never constrained by so petty a concept as shape. By activating this Charm, the Infernal may appear as anything she desires as an Illusion effect. Changing her appearance requires reactivating the Charm. Seeing through this Illusion requires the viewer to spend Willpower equal to the Infernal's permanent Essence (maximum of 5 Willpower); once a viewer pierces the Infernal's illusory shape, the viewer cannot be affected by this Charm again in the Scene. The listed cost is for activations of this Charm outside of the Wyld; in the Wyld, this Charm is free.
Pyreflame Dreams
[prereq: What Is and What Should Never Be]
The Neverborn are pure examples of the impossible made actual; the Primordials could not die, and yet a number of them now suffer in agony forever in death without end. Owing to this, Oramus finds them unhealthily fascinating and remains the only Yozi who will treat with them (besides the Ebon Dragon, who transgresses all bounds of propriety).
Upon activating this Charm, the Infernal gains a temporary rating in Whispers equal to her permanent Essence score, and may use Sorcerous Enlightenment of Oramus to imitate Necromancy spells as well as Sorcery spells for the Charm's duration. However, the Infernal sacrifices the ability to regain Willpower through sleep for a number of day and night periods equal to the rating gained in Whispers, as her nightmares are haunted and warped by the eternal dying screams and curses of the Neverborn.
Flowers Bloom Like Madness
Kimbery fancies herself a great artist of grand guignol atrocities, and Autochthon was only tolerated by his brethren because of his abilities as the Great Maker, but no Primordial could match Oramus for the sheer, impossible splendor of his works, each one as unique as a snowflake, as precious as a jewel falling into a still pool of water, and as deadly as cold steel. This is just; the price that he paid for such ability was high indeed. The Infernal automatically acquires bonus successes on any Craft roll equal to the Infernal's permanent Essence. These successes explicitly do not count against the successes that may normally be added by Charms. An Essence 4 repurchase of this Charm further reduces the required time between each Craft roll, if applicable, to (1/permanent Essence) the required time. However, all of these bonuses only function if the Infernal is creating a unique item. A stunningly-original garden or a sword the likes of which Creation has never seen would be eligible for the bonuses; recreating such things exactly would not be.
However, minds that are part of that which Is cannot easily coexist with inspiration from the Beyond. Upon learning this Charm, the Infernal acquires a form of insanity that can be ameliorated, but never truly healed. The player and the Storyteller should work together to select a Derangement or partially-controlled Virtue Flaw to which the Infernal is always subject. The Infernal can suppress the effects of this insanity by spending (10-permanent Essence) WP in a scene (maximum 5WP), but no magic short of unlearning this Charm (and losing its benefits) can permanently cure the Infernal of this affliction.
Muse of Unearthly Delights
[prereq: Flowers Bloom Like Madness]
[Shaping, Obvious]
Oramus is a generous soul, willing to impart stunning visions of the Beyond to those capable of appreciating the soul-wrenching vistas. That such an experience is invariably damaging to the mortal mind is something he either does not realize or does not consider important; demonic scholars continue to debate this issue. The Infernal acts as a wicked muse for another person within sight of the Infernal, granting that person successes to a specific kind of Craft roll that do not count against the person's limit for successes added by Charms. Upon activation of this Charm, the Infernal learns what, if any, score the target has in Craft, and the Infernal determines the Craft specialty to which the bonus successes are applied (successes cannot be allocated among multiple Craft specialties without multiple activations of this Charm). The same restrictions regarding the unique nature of the Crafted result as imposed by Flowers Bloom Like Madness apply to this Charm. In addition, the number of successes granted equals the bonus point cost of a Derangement mutation, chosen by the Infernal, that is imposed on the target at the same time as the bonuses. Both the bonuses and the Derangement last for the remainder of the Scene.
Because the Charm is Obvious, the target intuits that insanity will go hand-in-hand with the gift. Those who do not wish to trade lucidity for artistry may resist the effects of this Charm by paying 1 Willpower. Doing so immunizes the target from the effects of this Charm for the remainder of the Scene. An Essence 5 repurchase causes the successes granted by a successful activation of this Charm to be permanent. The imposed Derangement also becomes permanent as a Desecration effect and imposes the Creature of Darkness mutation on the target at the same time as the Derangement, if the target does not already possess it.
Bafflement of Shining Scales
[prereq: Flowers Bloom Like Madness]
The most powerful weapons and Charms levied against the Impossible Dragon during the Primordial War simply broke around his wings like water around a cliff, their magical power stymied by the mad glittering light reflected from the scales of Oramus' wings. It was not until a young Solar, the sole survivor of an ill-fated army tasked with slaying the Dragon Beyond the World, exhausted, and bereft of Essence, swung her sword against Oramus in a last and desperate act of defiance that the limits of this power were revealed. The Infernal perfectly parries any attack she is aware of, even if it is unblockable. The first cost listed above applies whenever the Infernal is in Creation or Yu-Shan; the second cost applies everywhere else. This Charm suffers from the Imperfection of the Dragon Beyond the World.
[Imperfection of the Dragon Beyond the World – The terrible power of the Beyond is inimical in the extreme to the mundane realities of Creation, but then again, the reverse is also true; they cut through each other like hot knives through butter. A Charm with this Imperfection is inapplicable against non-magical attacks. Additionally, activating a Charm with this Imperfection warps the Infernal with impossible energy, halving her DVs and setting her soak and Hardness (from any source, including armor) to 0 against non-magical attacks until her DV refreshes. These penalties are only applicable against the kind of attack (physical or social) that triggered them; for example, an Infernal who activated Sheltering Balm of Insanity against a magical social attack would not halve her DV or lose her soak and Hardness ratings against a non-magical physical attack later in the scene.]
[Greater Imperfection of the Dragon Beyond the World – So soaked is Oramus in impossible power that it permanently infects his constitution and even his possessions. Any Charm with the Imperfection of the Dragon Beyond the World becomes permanent and is considered to be active at all times; additionally, the DV of the Infernal drops to 0 against non-magical attacks.]
[Concept: Magical attacks. Magic is, in some small measure, an extrusion of the impossible into the real. As such, an attack empowered by magic carries a small part of what Is Not with it at all times, and can be thwarted by the same. An attack that is enhanced by Essence, whether through a Charm, a spell, or the expenditure of motes, counts as a magical attack, as does an attack from an Artifact weapon, a weapon that is formed by a Charm or spell, or an attack that is otherwise composed purely of Essence. For example, an attack supplemented by the First Melee Excellency is magical, as is the Godspear attack of the Five Metal Shrike and a melee attack from a Lunar with Claws of the Silver Moon active. Attacks from beings with Essence 10 are always magical, as are attacks from beings with any mutations or Derangements, attacks from the Raksha, attacks from any being that has used an Essence effect to passively boost an Attribute or Ability used in the attack, and attacks from an Exalt in Limit Break. As an exception to the general rule regarding magical attacks, an attack supplemented only by Ghost-Eating Technique is not considered magical; Oblivion hungers for bright Primordial ornaments and will not be denied.]
Words that Twist Like Daggers
[Unnatural Mental Influence, Shaping, Supplemental, Combo-OK]
Those who talk with Oramus do so as gingerly as those who once warred against him, for it is in the nature of the Impossible Dragon to spread madness like the clouds spread rain. A social attack supplemented by this Charm becomes unnatural. If the target of the Infernal's social attack does not successfully resist the attack, the Infernal may choose to impose a Derangement of the Infernal's choice on the target. This Derangement lasts until the end of the Scene. At Essence 4, the Derangement can become permanent as a Desecration effect at the Infernal's discretion if the Infernal successfully attacks the target with this Charm a number of times in the Scene equal to the bonus point value of the Derangement in question; the Derangement is still temporarily imposed upon the first successful use of this Charm in a Scene, and subsequent uses simply build towards the Derangement's permanence. Partial Limit Break Virtue Flaws may also be imposed with this Charm, and are deemed to have a bonus point value of 4 for purposes of the Essence 5 repurchase.
As the Infernal increases in power, this Charm becomes even more fearsome. At permanent Essence 6, the number of successful attacks required to impose a Derangement are halved (rounding down). Finally, at permanent Essence 8, the Charm becomes permanent and automatically supplements all of the Infernal's social attacks at no cost, regardless of whether the Infernal desires this effect or not.
Soul-Eroding Production
[prereq: Words that Twist Like Daggers]
The masques, plays, operas, exhibitions, and other events sponsored by Oramus before the Primordial War are still famous even today among the denizens of Malfeas, sending the audiences insane with joy at the spectacles of pure artistry wrought by the Lord of Not. This Charm permits Words that Twist Like Daggers to supplement a Performance-based roll against any number of targets that are in the Infernal's presence.
An Essence [XX] repurchase permits Words that Twist Like Daggers to be used remotely by the Infernal on any witness to a piece of art that the Infernal has created, such as a painting, sculpture, book, or play (including a play created by the Infernal that is being performed in the Infernal's absence). The Infernal subliminally becomes aware of when piece of art is being viewed by a sapient being or beings (although no information about the viewer is conveyed) and can choose to initiate a social attack (based on Performance for multiple viewers) supplemented by Words that Twist Like Daggers against those viewers. A further repurchase at Essence [XX] permits the Infernal to teleport to the location of the artistic piece through which she channeled a social attack at an additional cost of [XX] motes.
Soothing Balm of Insanity
[prereq: Words that Twist Like Daggers]
The changeability of Oramus' mental health was a byword among his Primordial brethren; he seemed to be a veritable kaleidoscope of madness. The Infernal may activate this Charm in response to any successful attack in Social Combat. The Infernal perfectly parries the successful attack. The Storyteller then imposes a Derangement on the Infernal with a bonus point value that is equal to or greater than the amount of Willpower that would have been required to cancel the attack's effects; a Derangement that qualifies as a Deformity will substitute for any amount of Willpower. Partial Limit Break Virtue Flaws may also be imposed with this Charm, and are deemed to have a bonus point value of 4 for these purposes. This Derangement remains for the rest of the Scene.
Ornamented Lunatic Pyre Shintai
[prereqs: Play the Music, Light the Lights; Words that Twist Like Daggers; Bright Costumes and Bold Makeup; Sorcerous Initiation of Oramus]
[Combo-OK, Form-like]
Oramus is not content merely to transmit the glory of the Beyond. His abysmal madness and horrifying power concentrates the experience as a prism focuses a ray of light through this, the least of his Shintai Charms, intensifying the experience many times over. Mortals caught up in the experience very quickly become broken, twisted, mewling wretches, hopelessly addicted to the limitless possibilities of the Wyld.
Upon activating this Charm, the Infernal bellows forth a gout of bright colors in all hues possible and impossible, which consumes her body instantly in a glittering bonfire of blazing, shimmering rainbows. The Infernal may activate Play the Music, Light the Lights at no cost at the same time she activates this Charm, and may activate Bright Costumes and Bold Makeup each tick at no cost to constantly change her form. Additionally, this Charm grants the following benefits. First, the difficulties for the Wyld Exposure and Wyld Addiction rolls for any person other than the Infernal who is caught within the bounds of Play the Music, Light the Lights increases by the Infernal's permanent Essence; Essence-users may offset this penalty for any required Wyld Exposure roll by spending motes on a one-for-one basis, if they are not already immune to the Wyld's effects. Second, each target must make a Wyld Exposure and Wyld Addiction roll on each of their action ticks while they remain within the bounds of Play the Music, Light the Lights (succeeding at a Wyld Addiction roll prompted by this Charm does not grant the target the normal +1 bonus for future rolls over a number of months as described on page 288 of Exalted). Finally, while this Charm is active, the number of successes required to mirror any spell using Sorcerous Enlightenment of Oramus is halved, rounding down.

Really. The only Yozi that I like is Adorjan. Because there's something I can't hate about "The Bodhisattva Guanyin if she was a gust of wind made of murder."
Might be because she's crazy. I dig the crazy ones.

I've always dug the interpretation of Oramus as the missing link between Primordial and Shinma, who defines what a Shinma is by not being one. Hell if I know how to make charms out of that, though.

They don't need to be demon descent from her. Ran is a demon-fox that got tamed by Yukari after all.
Leave a comment:
I tend to favor her as Oramus directly, because that way Ran is a 3rd Circle and Chen is a 2nd. Chen doesn't work quite as well as a 1st circle, given her direct association with Ran.

And this is where someone links a picture of Yukari Yakumo...

@NotthePenguins: Thanks for those charms. That really is a boon.
I haven't found anything satisfactory for Oramus, though. I suppose that's just as well. A Titan whose signature themes are "Being alien, possessing infinite powers, but only when others aren't looking, and the ability to spawn alien monsters," is hard to nail down.

So I just threw this together because the idea seemed really funny to me. It's not part of any greater charmset or anything. They're all made up.
Inserted Narrative Epicenter Shintai
Cost: 10m 1wp; Mins: Essence 4; Type: Simple
Keywords: Form-Type
Duration: One Scene
Prerequisite Charms: Evocative Dialogue Insistence, Expedient Character Revision x3, Exposition as Truth Methodology, Uncomplicated Motivation Technique
Sometimes even the stories of Elloge can get out of control, and no amount of revision will put them back on their correct paths. When this is the case, the Invisible Author may insert a fragment of herself directly into the narrative around which the entire story will begin to revolve. Some may call this the work of a hack, but the Sphere of Speech prefers complete stories to those ended incorrectly and tossed aside.
Upon invoking Inserted Narrative Epicenter Shintai the Infernal's anima imperceptibly expands in a sphere to engulf the entire scene in invisible Old Realm calligraphy that can only be read by those using some manner of essence sight (the calligraphy describes objects and people within the sphere and their relevance to what is happening). The Infernal strides confidently into her own story, drawing the attention of everyone present and ensuring that everything becomes about her in the following ways:
- Add the Infernal's Linguistics score to her Appearance rating as the she takes on idealized traits pleasing to the author.
- All of the Warlock's social attacks are undodgeable as per Evocative Dialogue Insistance. Others may argue with Elloge's narration, but none may ignore it.
- Every successful social attack that the Infernal makes automatically gives the recipient a positive intimacy towards her or an ideal she champions in a context of the recipent's choosing. This unnatural mental influence may be resisted for a cost of two willpower and resisting in this manner makes the target immune to this effect for the rest of the day. For some reason, everyone finds themselves liking the inserted character.
- To anyone who bears an intimacy towards the Infernal or an ideal she champions, it becomes immediately obvious when someone successfully resists one of the Warlock's social attacks (via MDV, willpower expenditure, or other methods) and this realization immediately counts as a scene of building a negative intimacy towards them. Note that those with negative intimacies towards the Infernal are compelled this way, as even her enemies cannot agree with one another on how to oppose her.
- Using Uncomplicated Motivation Technique allows the Infernal to target everyone present in the scene, ensuring that their intimacies that don't relate to the Infernal or her story are not applicable.

Huh. Oramus seems to be a creature of impossibility, who doesn't quite align with the world and defies it. His name means "We pray", so there's obviously a sacred element, and the details of his nature can't quite be spelled out.
Doubts the world, is sacred, and cannot be spoken...
Is Oramus actually Iolithae Septimian?

Hell, even Cytherea, with just her epithet, would be easier to tie down, as her title of Divine Ignition suggests a strong connection to Platonism, potentially allowing Forms as a tool for any Exalt patronized by her.
Yeah, it was waffle, but fun waffle.

Asset classes react differently to credit and geopolitical crisesBy Phalguni Soni
Asset classes react to crises
Returns on the S&P 500 Index (SPY), high-yield debt (HYG), and investment-grade debt (or LQD) as well as U.S. Treasuries (TLT) were positive in the week ending August 8. However, leveraged loans (BKLN) experienced negative returns.
Year-to-date (or YTD) returns on the S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index have come in at 1.93% up to August 8. For the week ending August 8, the Index decreased by 0.15%, compared to an increase of 0.33% in the S&P 500 Index.
Leveraged loans are issued on a floating rate basis. While issuers benefit when yields decline, investors are adversely affected because returns are based on prevailing market rates.
The S&P 500 Index (SPY) was positively affected towards the end of the week due to market perceptions that the crisis in Ukraine may be easing as Russia called off military exercises near Ukraine. The Index had been down lately due to geopolitical fears in the Middle East and Russia. This may have been a correctional rally.
High-yield bonds rally
As explained in Part 1, returns on high-yield debt were positive last week. The SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond ETF (JNK) and the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) increased by 1.03% and 1.04% over the week ending August 8.
In the previous week, junk bond yields had increased by over 50 basis points, in reaction to the Argentinian and Portuguese credit crises and overseas geopolitical risks. Last week's decrease in yields may have been a market correction. The lower bond prices may have represented a buying opportunity for more market-savvy and risk-inclined investors. As long as the monetary policy is expected to say accommodative—a low interest rates environment—investors with a higher risk appetite would continue "reaching for yield."
Another possible explanation for the upturn in high-yield debt markets, may be that bond mutual funds used cash for funding redemptions, staving off a bigger sell-off in high-yield bonds.
Returns on investment-grade bonds and Treasuries were positive, but for different reasons. Also, primary market conditions were vastly different. You can read about these in the Market Realist series, Overview: High-grade borrowers are upbeat about market conditions.

There was a time when repairing was something strictly related to technicians and that was the time when repairing costs more than buying an expensive brand. But now problems have been solved and there are no more barriers for anything, YouTube is there to help us, Google is there to assist anyone who is willing to do the stuff by himself/herself. If we talk generally about computers, when computers were new in the market, people were so afraid that they were unable to try anything new in their own PC in order to avoid the situation of repairing. But now things are different hence let's roll on to some basic tips through which you can check your PC at home for any repair and repair yourself:
Check windows: first insert the window CD (before that make sure by clicking left mouse on my computer folder in order to understand the correct form of windows) then just insert the CD and follow the instructions, it is not always necessary to reinstall the whole software altogether during any malfunctioning, but sometimes laptop repair Christchurch works even better and saves a lot of time of any user.
Check the hardware: there is a simple mantra of checking if any hardware is malfunctioning, be it RAM, CD drive or any other hardware, just remove the RAM and restart the PC if it's working correctly which means if the PC is not making any noise, it means RAM needs to be replaced. Similar is the case with every other hardware. Usually there is an option during the installation of windows (windows itself tells the hardware which is malfunctioning).
Simply power cord: sometimes if the computer is not switching; before rushing to the technician try to check the power cord and remember most of the time it's the power cord which is bad and rest is fine. Try to check the power cord if you have another cord replace it and try to turn the PC on. If it works this means power cord is bad rest is fine. Similarly there are some other checks too, sometimes power supply is dead and can be checked just by changing the power cord. If even after changing power cord things are not working it means power supply is not supporting. Hence it's time to call the technician seriously.
The above mentioned are some simple DIY tricks through which things can be much less cheaper as compared to any other technician thing. It is highly recommended to check the above mentioned point way before anything else. Because if something can be repaired at home why spend so much money on it without any good reason.

Star Bharat's Jai Kanhaiya Lal Ki (Blues Productions) is already winning hearts with its intriguing story line.
Audience saw Dali (Shweta Bhattacharya) going to party instead of meeting the groom's family.
In the coming episode, "Janki Nath Dada (Dipankar De) will get struck with the shock of a huge bill that the club would send him for the party. Meanwhile, Sandhya (Rupanjana Mitra) will try to explain Dali the importance of marriage. She would instead say that she is happy alone."
Furthermore, Dada will get worried when Dali would not return and everyone will blame Dada for being nice to her. Later, Dali will call Ganga and Bhola to serve Dada food but he would get disgusted with the quality of the food.
Kanhaiya (Vishal Vashishtha) will enter the kitchen and meet Dada who is sick of the bland food cooked in the house. He will impress everyone in the house by cooking delicious food. Kanhaiya will get on the job and would learn some secrets about Dali.
Will Kanhaiya manage to bring Dali on track?

Stocks fall as Trump signals delay in China trade deal
Stocks fall as Trump signals delay in China trade deal
U.S. stocks dropped on Tuesday after comments from President Donald Trump sparked fears of a delay in resolving a bruising tariff dispute with China until after the presidential election in November 2020.
Chris Dignam has more.
Stocks fall as Trump signals delay in China trade deal
U.S. stocks sank Tuesday with the Dow falling more than 300 points at the open, after President Donald Trump said a trade deal with China might not happen until after the 2020 election.
(SOUND BITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, SAYING: "I have no deadline, no.
In some ways, I think I think it's better to wait until after the election with China.
In some ways, I like the idea of waiting until after the election for the China deal.
But they want to make a deal now, and we'll see whether or not the deal's going to be right; it's got to be right." Trump's comments were made in London, where he was due to attend a meeting of NATO leaders, and sparked fears of a delay in resolving the tariff dispute.
Investors had been hoping that the U.S. and China could avert an escalation of their trade tensions.
U.S. officials have previously said a deal could happen this year, depending on China.
(SOUND BITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, SAYING:"I'm doing very well with a deal with China if I want to make it, if I want to make it.
I don't think if it's they want to make it, it's if I want to make it." The prolonged dispute between the world's top two economies has roiled financial markets, dented global growth and disturbed factory floors.
Data out Monday showed U.S. manufacturing activity contracted even more, causing Wall Street to pull back from record highs.
Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping had planned to meet and sign a preliminary "phase one" trade deal at an Asia-Pacific leaders' summit in Chile in mid-November, but the summit was canceled due to mass protests.
And Trump said on Monday that legislation backing protesters in Hong Kong hasn't made trade negotiations with China any easier.
Adding to investor concerns, Trump ambushed Brazil and Argentina, announcing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the two countries, and also surprised France with a threat to impose duties of up to 100% on imports of champagne, handbags and other French products.
Another round of tariffs on Chinese imports is set to go into effect on December 15th, a date U.S. officials had said could be a natural deadline for an agreement.
(SOUND BITE) (English) U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, SAYING: "I don't know if I want to make it but you'll going to find out pretty soon.
We'll surprise everybody.''
