I want to buy custom looks, I want to look like some Templar/Knight guy.

You can't. You lack points.

Pretty soon.... New action! Steal points from the point-shop!

going back around the Pony Predator towards Jim, walk over to the far side of Jim from the PP, and keep him between me and it at all times.

Lars looks at Grate.  "Blessed be the miracles of the gods!  Surely Steve's divine will hath breathed life back into your flesh."

GWG, did you piss off Lady Luck?

Lars looks at Grate with a smile.  "There you go, son, that's a good idea..."

"Ahem. So, with HMRC nominally staying here, since I did overhear a bit of Steve intending leave some administration behind, whatever it is that goes out to fight the UWM must have a different name. If we're just naming the fighting force, OGRE works - we're strong, we're feared, we're not known for being subtle or employing smart tactics (and let it stay that way), but despite that we're a pretty complex thing. You could even say layered. Like an onion."

"It works as an acronym. We could work from there. A "Republic of Man", or "Mankind", but I can't think of what to use for the "A". Thoughts?"

Hop down out of Jim's arms, go around the Pony Predator lying on the floor, and poke Grate with my right forepaw.

"Aren't you dead?"
"How are you still alive?"

Need I mention the two turns where you tried to shoot mastah and he didn't react til the auto defend on the second turn? You are due no compensation.

It appears auto defend starts on the second turn you miss (the alternative is he messed up on both your respective first turns of inaction or didn't think to use auto defend til turn two of Mastah's inaction at which point for fairness he would need to forget it for your first turn as well), it does not justify compensation for you alone. Don't mean to be rude, but think you are being unreasonable, and milking the gm's willingness to cave in to silly requests. Plus its like 5 in the morning, I just got up about 20 minutes ago and have nothing better to do.

It's not that simple, especially for some of those stages. Ironically, the easiest to take off are the ones at the end; repeatedly, organisms have evolved to be able to breed in their larvel or juvenile stages rather than their adult stages, effectively maturing when still larvae. See: Mud puppies, axlotls, rooks, some crustaceans, water striders, and other species. On the other hand, cutting out an intermediate stage is about as possible as making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without opening the peanut butter jar.

Maybe thats impossible for you pansy arse little whiners - but we real men eat the jar as well!

It's called neoteny, and humans did this, for brain plasticity: they managed to keep the baby chimps' ability to learn more easily than the old ones, to the points that even 60 years old can learn how to use a computer (not as easily as a 20-years old, but still surprisingly easy)
