Einsteinian Roulette / Re: Einsteinian Roulette OOC
« on: April 27, 2014, 03:19:19 pm »The... teleports were important, though. You decided to make them a part of your character. O.oAnd what did I do with them? Nothing, really. Screwed with another character once. Tried to keep this mob amusing and harmless.
And why exactly would people have needed to "hear" anything in particular?
Because the reason they allegedly chose to kill me was based on something I said.
I was trying to steer the topic away from an arguement by subtly changing the subject to the evils of the Arch-Conservative agenda and LCS in general. I was hoping you'd begin talking about how piecewise made that playthrough of LCS with Liberals sharing the names of ER characters or something similar.That's...kinda irrelevant. And the issue is still unsolved.
Now, when did I say he used amps?How could I be "quicker on the draw" in this situation? I posted an escape action, it was just ignored.Your escape action involved teleportation, something amps have not been known to do. For that matter, you relied on the assumption that the GM would allow some random person to have military grade hardware in the form of amps.
An "Amp?" is not an amp. Seriously, the robe wasn't a tip-off? Or the fact that I made reference to magic dope slaps? Or the fact that "amp" was in quotes?

« on: April 27, 2014, 03:15:53 pm »Slog isn't useless. He provides a bonus to idle activities, can use some basic magic, has an inventory, and can turn into King Slog when fed.So does everyone, it's very basic and he sucks at using it, so does everyone, and when was the last time we had anything to feed him with? (And what's so special about King Slog? He can heal--we have Cherish for that--he continues to have Frizz which continues to suck in Slog's...um...pseudopods, and then Increase...well...it's a thing, but nothing worth spending rare things like the mushroom on.)

He's too complex to be a test for anything, and he's too useless for a final product. He's caught in between the two categories we want.
Even if Horologe is too expensive, a Bloodslog is pretty much useless. You know, like the real one, but probably worse.

Where's the option that lets your orbit predictor predict through more SoI transitions?

Play With Your Buddies / Re: (KSP LP) Bay12 Space Program: It's Hit A Slow Bit
« on: April 27, 2014, 02:22:39 pm »Alright. You may recall that, when we ended last time, I had gotten the craft into orbit. Good first step, I'm halfway to everywhere.
First, a 230 m/s burn to correct inclination. Even though we don't have an estimated burn time, we can calculate one. With just under 12.75 tons of craft and 220 kN of thrust, we have ~17.25 m/s2 of thrust, and hence will take about 13 seconds to burn.
The game sorta freezes when I try to throttle up, so I screw up a bit on timing. Still, I'm only 0.1 degrees off--pretty good, neh? Next, a Minmus encounter burn, impeded slightly by the fact that the Mun is in the way.
Curse you, sky-orb!
The Mun's put me in a Catch-22 situation; if I burn fast enough to get past it, I'm going to be getting to Minmal altitude too soon (and also at escape velocity); if I burn slow enough that I don't encounter it much, I'm nowhere near high enough.
Moving an orbit ahead won't do anything, and I doubt moving more will do much. So much for my optimal ascent path.
Eventually, I control my incercept path to end up near Minmus.
Behind-The-Scenes Look: I didn't expect this to work.
Rounding to the nearest number in the MNN screws everything up. Eventually, though...
Damn.
Let's pause here and fiddle with the options. Wait, could I have done that from the ship screen? Too late, checking main-menu settings.
Nope.
Where's that "conic patch limit" thing that lets me predict farther into the future?

« on: April 27, 2014, 01:02:33 pm »Because we didn't have the time to take his essence. ;.;In what way does this affect the actual plan that was being discussed?
And Horologe would take much more to bloodshape than Slog.Much lower cost:benefit ratio than Bloodslog. Exhibit A: Realslog.

Einsteinian Roulette / Re: Einsteinian Roulette OOC
« on: April 27, 2014, 12:59:08 pm »Well, I agree with you on the rolls thing, but A) having to roll for random audience squabbles would be an extra burden on Piecewise, and B) there were no rolls involved in your teleportations etc., either.The teleports weren't actually important. They were just fluff. Killing a character? That's kinda important, even if it had no game consequences. Which it actually does.

As for being plausible, I can see no reason why it wouldn't be.See my above notes on how even the people sitting next to him would be hard-pressed to hear the alleged cause of everyone in the fucking audience spontaneously ganging up on him.
Earth-3 reminds me of the Arch-Conseravative Nation of LCS. Speaking of plausibility in such an absurd, dystopian future, where people can be killed freely, yet the conformity police catches and reprograms anyone who acts out of the norm, makes me smile. I know it's not the kind of plausibility you're referring to, but still.It isn't. Even the Arch-Conservatives aren't telepaths, and certainly the lowly citizens aren't.

« on: April 27, 2014, 12:05:41 pm »Dude, it's a game. As is ER, and any other FG or RTD on the forum.When those were done, it was at least rolled out. And plausible for the fight to occur (see my earlier notes).
Did I get angry when Cog smashed my character's head in that remote scuffle? Did the guy who played... Travis, was it?... get angry when Jim vaporized him? I'm sure there have been other player-kills which I cannot remember, but I don't believe there's ever been a grate deal of drama like this.

I mean, going from this:I thought you were going to play along.
Use Magic Dope Slap technique on the people trying to kill me.
I mean, if everyone rushed him but nothing happened, it's odd, but no harm no foul, and it's actually kinda funny. But...well...that didn't happen.

How could I be "quicker on the draw" in this situation? I posted an escape action, it was just ignored. What, should I have attacked someone else first? Yeah, right. The whole thing was idiotic to begin with.
How was it "fun" for anyone involved? "Oh, now the pile has the body of an audience member! Haha!" Yeah...that's dumb. Seriously, this whole thing is idiotic. Moreover, it makes NO sense, as I've explained patiently.
And yes, I was enjoying the character. P.S. Screw you.
