Half the people in this RP logically should not be part of this RP if we're playing a set of PRT heroes, is what I'm getting at. you can't advertise a girl who curls up in the corner. Or a on the fly psychopath. (Reminder: PRT uses heroes like mascots and sells toys and stuff of them.)
I'm sure that Assault and Gully sold a lot of action figures.

Anyways, I have much-delayed homework stuff to do today, so...the much-awaited end of the meeting won't be happening for a while. Hopefully this afternoon; maybe tomorrow.

So there's been an image of a map of the US with states labelled by an Australian with very limited geographical knowledge doing the rounds on the 'Net recently...
I'd like to see that. Do you have a link or something?

I am amused by how Indiana has absolutely nothing in it.

I shall start a petition to rename my country beerland. It's just that good.
Be prepared for failure.

Sorry for the double post, but here lies a backstory. How's it sit with everyone?

Cool. Nice little descent from death-fueled crusades to idealism-fueled enslavement.

Alternately, I got bored and ran some numbers.  8000 lbf is around 36 kN.  Iron has an average Vickers hardness of 608 MPa, putting out an average deformation under that particular test force of 0.01 mm.  Running shear stress models using the shear stress modulus of 82 GPa (by contrast, wood has a typical stress modulus measured in kPa) and assuming an applied area of around 0.0077 m2 (lowballing with a 1" diameter and a 1' length, since dimensions aren't given) doesn't give much better, with around 0.2mm of deformation for a 1" test length.  So, even some thin iron cladding on the prow alone should also fix the issue just as well, if my maths aren't incorrect.
It's probably a little weird that my first reaction to the issue was to reach for my slide rule...at least I didn't go for my old notes on impact forces and elastic deformations therein.
Alright, so the immovable rod wouldn't be destroyed. Not that magic items can be destroyed by mundane means.
The question has more to do with wood. Would the ship stop, or would the hull break? It depends on speed and hull, and we have no answer.

Glaring flaws...glaring flaws...

The supervillain across the hall is glaring at Gerard. Maybe his name is Flaw?

I think it was this spell guys-

http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Burning_Hands

I dunno how many FRA's it will take, cause we don't know how many items are burning...but I'd say all us on the boat should all help out there.

I also love how the monkey using a spell has made our entire team go berserk.
Question.  If someone Energy Substitutes Burning Hands (say, with Cold), does it still set things on fire?
By RAW? I think so.

Awesome. I have some ideas, but first I need some questions answered.

1. What are appropriate origins? Are we to draw from the Golden Age of comic books, the Silver Age, or something else for inspiration?
2. What power level are the final characters "supposed" to be at--more like Superman or Galacticus, or more like Squirrel Girl and the Riddler?
3. How serious/realistic will this be? Comic book upbeat silliness, Worm-like realism and tone, somewhere in between?

So, what, is the meeting over? I can't see much over Unholy being an idiot and Cado continuing to be the most annoying RPer I've recently seen.
No, sorrt. I'll type out the rest tomorrow, after rest, and then...well, you'll see.

You are literally numerically calculating your emotions.

Emotions don't work that way.
It's estimates for the convenience of the guy with an emotion-sensing power. I thinbk.

Your magic breaks relativity in order to rewrite evidence. Isaac can generate matter from seemingly nothing, as well as Selina.

Is this an actual constructed language or what?

I could be the Bosun.

I vote we name the ship the Oblivion.

Edit: the wood will break before the rod moves. Meaning either the wood breaks or the ship is stopped. Either way is helpful.
Cpngratulations! You have stopped a rhip. Matbe I should stop typing in the dark. Nah, I just need to rely more on muscle memory.

You could also wet a cloak and use it to smother the flames
Or something like that, yeah.

Angel and Alan are still waiting for the Headmistress.
