Title: Dangerous Pig Tail Socks
Post by: Proteus on September 20, 2008, 05:12:16 am
The Batman bashes the Siege Engineer in the upper body from behind with her Pig Tail Sock
 
It is bruised!

The Siege Engineerīs liver has been bruised!



From a current combat between a Siege engineer and a batwoman
I donīt know how these creatures make their socks, but obviously they are dangerous weapons :D

 Rocks?
 Iron nails?
 Iron Bar?
 Broken Glass?
 Kogan Lokinogith's left hand?
 
 Who knows.

I know conclusively that dwarven socks are full of win.  ;)

Man, I didn't think win would hurt this much.  At least pennies wouldn't cause internal bleeding.

Try throwing vomit for comic effects!

"The spinning vomit hits Urist McPansy in the head!"
"Urist McPansy has become sick!"
"Also very decapitated."

I'm currently thinking of putting together something that throws only water/ice for combat. I wonder if there's a way to make a critter that can freeze all the water it carries without dying in heat...

I think [FIXED_TEMP:_] would do it, with a suitably low value.  Just don't fall in any ponds...

The Dwarf bashes You in the head with her Swamp vine backpack!
It is smashed into the body, an unrecognizable mass!

I take it there's no way to make it so water freezes into ice while I walk into it?

That's exactly what fixed temp should do.  At least, I know it works in reverse - SoFs will steam up water pretty well.

edit: wait, is it bad edict to reply to a few-days-old thread?  All I usually post on is 4chan, I don't pay attention to how old things are :(

Necromancy is fine as long as you contribute something imo. :)

And ofc, a few days is barely dead anyway...

If your flesh is just below freezing, you should be able to pick up those chunks you get from fighting wolves and toss them in ahead of you.

Sorry, I meant walk onto.  :-\ Like so I can trot down and instead of getting sealed in ice, actually walk on it.

Welcome to a real forum. One where the intellectual discussion is only occasionally interrupted by random pictures, off-topic spamming, and links to items involving rule thirty-five (and all variations thereof.) Here it is the case that a topic can be inactive for up to a WEEK before being considered truly dead, and expecting a response within an hour shows impatience. Enjoy your stay.

(In a less rude way: yes, it's fine. Normally we don't mind posts in threads up to a week or so old (first 1-3 pages), and you can go even further back if you have something relevant to add to a thread. Obviously the exact acceptable period of response varies between subforums and topic as well.)

Topics die in this forum?

That's weird, a topic I first posted about 4 months ago was floating around until the end of October...

What? That's only when no one post in the thread anymore. Yeah.

Edit: I mean the topic dying or something.

Like it says in the Bay12 anthem:
"We are a community of rampant Necromacers!" (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=081129)
 
Or it would. If I wrote the anthem.
 
Totally (not) serious here. >:D

Bruised liver?

The sock was soaked in <<rum>> so strong it drunkens on contact.

Fiercely.

I like how "i are not good with compu" did an extremely small revive while making a decent addition and was concerned about it but knitedskull made a much less relevant month-old revive and didn't bat an eye.
