<<What are you people even doing? I'm fighting the giant robot all by myself! Help would be nice.>>((Isn't that how I died?
Horus is pro at making heavy golemsThere's a difference between "heavy" and "pointlessly, physics-breakingly heavy which forces her to be made out of something that undermines her very nature".
Also, people would probably ignore it for the most part. Like Emp's new character.People will ignore many things. This doesn't mean that they're okay.
Magic....You'd have to manufacture every iota of stuff making up Neferis magically. And there are plenty of other, easier ways to get the desired "hits-like-a-truck" thing without needing to add magic to make her not smash through floors and the Earth's crust and such.
Really that's not even something that would be difficult.
I like it.Load official DMR forums on futuristic space computer, make game mode suggestion.Alternatively, put contestants in an exoskelton, put those suits under remote control, then give the controls... to the audience.QuoteMode Name: Rock'em Sock'em Robots
Type: Team Deathmatch
Setup: Each team is given one remote controlled prosthetic body armed with a single sock containing a doorknob.
Each team elects one member as "controller", this individuals nervous system is temporarily slaved to the "robot" and therefore cannot move on their own.
Arena: maze or abandoned building.
Scoring: Killing robot earns no points, kills with sock score double.
Rules: Each team must protect their controller whilst attempting to kill the enemy, victory occurs when enemy controller is killed.
...Really? I thought they returned to base more often than that.
Of course it can recycle air. Several missions have been in airless voids; the yearlong mission had players out there for days.
*whistles innocently*Simus knows that won't happen again.
Irrelevant.Hardly.
Because they've probably done that? I agree that the UWM will probably design their ships to be "light". But the ships still weigh enough that they would collapse under their own mass if they ever landed on a planet without one of the special docking cages the Sword is currently in. That's still an enormous amount of mass. Sure, the amount of heat poured into the corridor would have buckled it to hell, and maybe some adjacent corridors too. But you might as well have tried to distort a metal plate with a match than actually affect the superstructure of the ship.Assuming that the ship is actually that solid. Which, given that it has (relatively) spacious corridors without equipment poking through, it probably isn't.
My finger is hovering above the "Vent OOC compartment" here.You want all this crap in the IC threads?
>When we leave, simus and her crew may get the opportunity to do so, should they build the facilities......
She weighs a couple tons, but due to magic she doesn't act like it.Is this a bad time to remind you that that mass requires densities impossible for mundane matter?
So? There's lots of potential parallels with video games that don't get used, and I haven't seen anything from Kingdom Hearts.2. This isn't Kingdom HeartsFFS has repeatedly said that pretty much all the elements were taken from somewhere else. Keep that in mind.
Try to authenticate again, except rhyme this time.+1
If we plan to unIllborn Goom-bess, it'd be good to have a standard of comparison for a pre/post scan.+1, both Tattle and Polar Eye.
(You know, I actually like the working together missions more then I'd like the concept of an arena. Because I like when a plan goes spectacularly wrong and the only way for an arena to go spectacularly wrong is if everyone agreed not to kill each other.((Agreed. Still, a little arena now and again can't hurt.))
After some discussion with @Elf and @Xantalos, I've decided to rejoin as aI feel like introducing a superego-projecting character.portal to spread the latter's influenceportable shipping/promiscuity dampener.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
And Kyle would be able to fuck with it since his helmet exudes antimagic fielding.He'd be willing to screw it regardless.
If anyone wants to scream anything into the head of someone in the field, just bold it and put it in a quote. I'll start using the "Out of context and funny quotes thread" for more material as well.Take one at a time. Sparingly.
ohhhh yeah. I'm in the next round. Test-work on tuesday, which is more or less 2-3 hours of me simply trying to not embarrass myself, also a second interview with the personnel chef once she returns from holidays, from what I heared, just a standard questionair, simply maths, etc.Sounds good. Congratulations on your pending employment!
when the headchef asked me if I have any other interviewes scheduled, and I told him yes, quote: "Don't bother going."
ohhh yeaaah
on d50s, a reasonable decrease is -5 for every attack already dodged, possibly -10 for every hit already taken, as those tend to send you offbalance even more, but that is optionalThat works. I've been using -1 per attack, but then that's when there were dozens of attackers.
well, GWG never confirmed wether or not Will is going to sniper that bitch, he might, he might not, who knowsHe's in a different corner of France. Unless Paris has extremely lax gun control laws and Will has a rifle with enough range to reach the castle (and can manage to land a hit at that range, power or no), he's not likely to be able to help.
Ask Goom-Bess if she has any problems with being "upgraded" by Polydectes. If the answer is no, we should probably upgrade her instead. Yes, Slog is adorable; there's no questioning that. However, he's absolutely useless. While I do want to avoid killing him because, well, d'aww, I certainly don't want to waste resources on him.+1
What if one of Slog's later skills is the ability to turn into King Slog at-will?What if one of Goom-Bess's later skills is precognition?
Alternatively, we may someday find an infinite food source.
What? Who care's about looks?When the difference in looks is the difference between more or less makeup? Basically no one.
I'm thinking along the lines of Nobodies from Kingdom Hearts. A Person who loses their heart may create a Nobody if their Heart was strong enough. If their Heart was even stronger yet their Nobody will have their Humanoid form rather than the standard run-of-the-mill monster form.Of course...
So maybe if we did this Cain would just become a standard Illborn, because the condition to make him Willborn is fulfilled. Now in that case, if we did that would we come back to Cain's boss room and find a Hellyfish floating in his place?No. Why the hell are you strawmanning me? That's like if I asked if you would expect to see Wilford in Cain's throne room.
I just think that siblings probably already fulfill whatever condition that causes Chief to look more-or-less normal and we'd find Cain looking more or less the same. Naturally, I've got no proof at this point but I find it a reasonable enough idea for the present.And I find it a reasonable idea that the one example we have of an Illborn sibling, Willborn or no, is not horribly un-representative of the norm, and hence horribly monstrous Sibling Illborn are not something we can discount because of Kingdom Hearts.
-snip-I like this theory.
Also, if this is true, we should really stop using Second Shift weapons.Probably, yeah.
"TRAINING'S DONE,Quote from: Ciro"Vi! Vi! What could possibly be interfering here?"This implies that Ciro believes herself to have authority. I think that she's the Queen of Angels (and thus also the Lord/King; I can never remember which one is Oric), which is why Oric wants her dead.
That's hilarious and I don't know why.Spoiler: Well, nobody said NOT to... (click to show/hide)
Not a bad goal.I know that you will hate me, but we should use it to make Goombess a non-illborn.+1
