Pointing out the number of silly things that are treasonous is also treason.

In.

You rest for the remainder of the afternoon and go to bed early. You know what they say: "Early to bed and early to rise lets you catch someone walking a small dog in the early morning."

You see an older man, probably a vagrant. He has a cat on his shoulders and a powerful-looking build. Hm.

You could keep looking, but you don't think your luck would be great. Or you could try and kidnap this guy. Or maybe try to hire him--he'd probably be tested on for room and board.

Why don't you want creatures that drink and piss mana?
Because it would be extremely costly to put pure mana in the seas, and would not have any point?
You see, the problem is currently we are on a path to create an exact replica of Earth. This place has to have SOME quirks, or some oddity so we aren't playing God that just felt like creating the planet we live on currently.
I don't follow your logic. We already made silicon-based life, and we haven't even gotten past bacteria. As long as you don't try making wingless flying dragons or natural golems or something, I'll be behind whatever squamous life-forms you guys propose.

I'm agreeing with GreatWyrmGold (and thus, acually, with myself) but hydrocarbon seas are good.

We already have main differences: silicon based life and seas of hydrocarbons help make it a bit different. We can make more advanced living things with mana, but the idea of making the basic bits need mana does feel wasteful and little gain for the cost.
Could we make it hydrosilicates instead? Hydrocarbons and silicon-based life don't really jibe well.

That's all well and good but the silicon based life could easily evolve to be humanoids which dominate the planet through their ingenuity and intelligence.
Well, aren't we an intelligent designer? We can intelligently design other life!
Or, we could intelligently design humanoids. That would be pretty different from Earth.

Yeah multiple races is funnier, more politics that make some sense as people are going against actual races instead of themselves.
I'm not even interested in amusement, I'm just looking to expend my creativity on something, so we can build something unusual, creative, unnatural. And by that, I mean it should not have to be governed by the laws that govern the organics we know today.
Define "laws that govern the organics we know today," please.

Help, even if she is in the Colors contest.

<Inconvenient. I'll just have to use what I know to improvise this.>
"Selina, do you want to hold Meme for a bit?"

Selina nods nervously and holds the sleeping Meme, smiling a little.

"Um... d-d-doesn't sh-she... er... l-l-like fl-fluffy th-things...?" Selina asks nervously.

Will brightens up.
"Yes, she does. Do you have a piece of paper and some colored pencils or something?"
((Yup, Will is definitely this.))

<Nah, you're thinking of ghosts. Aedan's a useless spirit now.>
Kyle's end laughs as Aedan starts ranting on his line.
<But until I figure out how to put him in my suit, which will probably need to be improved before I do that.>
<What happened to him being able to turn into you and stuff?>

<I have a suggestion. Well, one idea that came to mind was you create a sort of integrated telepathy bracelet type object, but in the form of a sort of chip. If your idea regarding the collar would work, then surely a chip working on the same principle would work fine.>
Lucas seems relatively okay with this idea.
<Sensible. You could probably even make it irreversible, if Selina wanted.>

"the very fisrt time i huged her since finding her i found all the damage i know whats possible her age is inter twined with something far more serious that i must deal with"
"And we can add her youth back independently!"

"DO i have a say in this?"
"of course you do Yuki"
"I want to... I want to be big so i can help take care og Negami and so i can help mommy in the kitchen"Yuki declars
Alex glances suspiciously in hihi's direction.
Yes, through the fourth wall.

((I see you're taking Ari back?))

Would a Gatling shotgun be overkill besides messy?
My brain hurts.

Lawastooshort is not a nudist. However, if he ran a game similar to this, then everything would be an itemslot-equiping item. Including legs, brains, and other irrelevant body parts.
Sounds like fun. Especially with a pickpocketing mechanic implemented...

12294
No, and probably not.
Actually, I'm pretty sure flyers can run. It might be in question for ghosts, though...

Hmm.
Since I keep my normal walk speed, and I theoretically cannot get tired, I could run indefinitely, or until Remuthra stops me.
Since I am insubstantial, I have basically no weight in the mortal realm, but my surface area stays the same.... Bugger. That doesn't work, does it?

The idea was to use the fact that A. something that doesn't have weight, doesn't get affected by gravity, and B. how I (probably don't) still have surface area, and can apply force to myself by pushing off of substantial material.

I was so close to running on water.
Your surface area does stay the same, inasmuch as you have a surface; however, your foot would pass right through the water.

"You can heal her without having her age! That's my point!"

"So, you don't know best, but you're still going to force your daughter to change herself in a major way against her will?"

Do point out mistakes or if i forgot anything. If you think you deserve more tokens, do speak up, but know that this arrangement uses up all of the fund. So if you want more tokens, also point out who should get less, cause I can't conjure tokens out of thin air to add to the budget.
((so... Steve is paying bonuses and you're paying bonuses to the same people for the same reasons, is that correct? meaning some people (Astra for example, who stayed at her post and did her job as part of the defense team, leading to her having no adventures to show off.) get a total of zero tokens for the entire mission and others (simus) who were idle half the time and had their objectives handed to them on a multiple-choice platter get 6 or so? I object to that logic strongly.))
((I also don't understand the logic behind Grate being paid an extra token. his only noteworthy action was ignoring objectives at mission start (go down to the planet and pick up gerbil-bugs!) and getting himself killed unproductively (charge the amp specialist armed only with a laser rifle and no con skill at all!) when objectives changed to search and destroy. Feyri did more than that (corpse delivery service, cameraed the ships other than the sword and blackship so we'd know if they were broken into), and is getting zero tokens from anyone at all including steve. are we really paying people for getting themselves killed? Astra wasn't noteworthy for her successes, but she was reliable and actively defended the sword for an extended period, and she's on the zero token list.
It looks like you're paying people based on how noticeable their actions were, not on what their actions were or how trustworthy or reliable they were. are you really sure that's how you want to decide who gets the high-power equipment and who doesn't? whoever is the best at grandstanding gets the biggest guns?))
((sorry, but you knew this was coming, figured I'd get it out of the way now.))
((I've got to agree with this logic. Even though it means I get less tokens.))

"...That works, too. Maybe a lizard of some kind?"

"I have one of those, too. It's called 'listening to her'."
"I do listen to her we talk telepathicly i know that she enjoies being small but i want the best for her"
"Ah, there we go. Mommy knows best. Well, have you considered that you could be wrong? That's usually what happens when a parent tries to control her child."

((This would be the place where I'd rant about Titans being big wastes of resources and inefficient and that big superweapons are ridiculous, while giving examples from history (mostly WWII Germany's attempts at those) and blablabla. Luckily, Fun > Realism in games.))
((The Soviets had some great giant superweapons, too.))
