Forum Games and Roleplaying / Re: Gods and Mortals II OOC (Update)
« on: April 10, 2014, 09:25:34 pm »Hee hee hee.Not bad, but you've made a pretty big blunder. Arguably two, but the one cancels the other out.
I think I'll point it out more explicitly after the turn's been run...

Okay, I'm not good with dealing with shenanigans.

Einsteinian Roulette / Re: ER: Dead Man Running: Episode 1
« on: April 10, 2014, 09:12:26 pm »"BLOOD AND GUTS!"Good luck getting that position. Given Murphy's Law, you're going to get dragged into Round Two and die.
Nameless audience member who gets shot during the climax between the final two, GO!
A man hidden in a golden robe glares at a massive man who jostled him. "You don't want to do that. It annoys me."
"Yeah? What's it to you?"
"You want to leave me alone."
"I want to leave you alone."
"You will bathe when you get home."
"I will bathe when I get home."
"...You will go sit by that Xan guy and cheer for Blue Team."
"I will sit by the xangiy and cheer for Blue Team."
"Good."
The massive man wanders off towards a different part of the stadium. The hidden man stares at the game and checks how much of the local currency he has at the moment.

« on: April 10, 2014, 09:03:48 pm »Nope, it's just a thing. Or two.Too bad I'm actually playing Dead Man Running. If I wasn't, I'd be willing to bet a few DM dollars on Paris's ER action failing. I just have the feeling that the sod has memorized the name, face, and voice of every crewmember.Do you hate me or something?
Okay, okay, just stay calm, it's just like that time with the Thundertroopers in Solar Conflicts.These are not the sods you are looking for?

"Insert name I read on ID here, insert rank I read on ID here>." said Flint, showing the Sod "his" ID, trying to look disinterested and treat the sod like some sort of annoying, walking, talking card reader, an obstacle that was delaying him from his work like a red traffic light, trying to act like he had done that a million times.My prediction of piecewise's interpretation.

Ship Beta: Team F: Grate: Probably getting in trouble
"When I was needed by Steve, I got squished and shot. And shredded by fan blades."
I got everything, right?
Well, except crazy over there.
I'm not crazy!
I think I am, though.
Hope Lars's button-pushing doesn't kill us.

Other Games / Re: Kerbal Space Program: Now Hiring Optimistic Astronauts for Dangerous Munission
« on: April 10, 2014, 08:33:59 pm »Apparently "watching a tutorial for a rocket physics simulator" is a sufficiently good excuse for me to watch Scott Manley videos during study period.Cool.
Anyways, I've run into a bug. I switched from EVA to Space Center, but then I couldn't switch from Tracking Station to...well...anything. I could focus on something, but I couldn't then Fly it or focus on anything else. I could, however, change what was showing up on the list, so it wasn't just a game freeze.
I classified a (partial) rocket with a kerbonaut inside as debris; could this be an issue? It wasn't earlier...

Play With Your Buddies / Re: (KSP LP) Bay12 Space Program: Oops
« on: April 10, 2014, 08:31:11 pm »That is what they do.It really isn't. Their greed is less pushing down others than pulling themselves up. War over one given chunk of the effectively limitless resources of space wastes productivity for no gain. And the idea of more easily-accessible resources is a joke. Once you get to orbit, you're halfway to anywhere; moreover, the most easily accessible spacebound sources of resources (the Moon for humans, Minmus and the Mun for kerbals) are far larger than any corporation--or even every corporation--could hope to exploit in a reasonable amount of time. There's enough to share.
Day 12 of Minmushot
The rocket arrived at Minmus today, at high velocity, due to an oversight leaving it completely without power. Jebediah Kerman Jr panicked and left the rocket before it impacted. It is generally agreed that there is no way he could have survived. A memorial service was held for him. This is truly a tragic accident. Jeb is the first non-Kommune kerbonaut to die in space.
((Fun fact: While loading the save, Jeb fell a little. Somehow, he teleported up while we weren't looking. Another fun fact: The target is almost exactly as far from Jeb as the previous one was from...whoever we sent to Minmus.))
Day 14 of Minmushot
We heard back from Jeb.
"...is Jebed...unior. Can y...ear me?"
"...Holy krap, did I just hear what I thought I heard?"
"...ou can hea...lease respond. Send--"
"Jeb! How did you survive?!?"
"Rocket pa...easy. Flew to the pla...nly chance I had of fi...ocket or the source...gnal."
This will not end badly. I hope.
"Wasn...un."
I ended up bouncing a lot. Still better than the four-hour trek.
"What happened?"
"...nded. I started by going to the cr...ite of the rocket, scav...ces I could. Then, I w...ource of the signal."
"What is it?"
"A rocke...r what's left o...ne."
Woah.
"A...a rocket? What do you mean a rocket?"
"...ig metal th...uel, flies into space?"
"We know what a rocket is, what's one doing on Minmus?"
"Cra...ing. Don't understand the g...ink he just stopped vert-vel. So--"
"Wait. There's someone there?"
"Duh. Who wou...nd the signals otherwi..."
"Why would there be a rocket there? Who would send it?"
"The flag...arks...could b...ommune."
There is silence.
"Tell us more about what happened."
"Not much t...ll. I brou...tronics debris, from my roc...ned with his spare bits, I manag...rove his damaged radi...nal. That's why it's reach...now."
"So, you upgraded his radio...could you make a return vehicle for the two of you?"
Broken laughter comes from the radio.
"That's a no."
"Yup."
"Krap."
Quick history lesson (optional):
I probably would have taken more pictures, but after heading back to the Space Center from Jeb, I discovered I couldn't select any craft in flight...or kerbals on EVA. I can focus on them, but I can't click anything relating to them (or focus on anything else). Restarting didn't help. I hope I can work around this.
Anyways, we have two kerbals to rescue. Assuming I figure out how to switch to them.

Roll To Dodge / Re: Thawed (Smokey Looks On In Anger)
« on: April 10, 2014, 03:02:36 pm »Selina keeps running until she finds a small spot to hide in and help M.
Continue chasing Selina. Not like I care about the apocolyspe.Or the forest fire. Or that you were complaining about me not stopping your Selina chase.
Anyways. Speed rolls.
Kyle: [1-0.2-1=0]
Selina: [6+1-1=6]
Kyle winces as he starts to get up. Selina, on the other hand, darts off through the woods, quickly getting out of sight of Kyle.
Because the dice hate Kyle and want Selina to go free. Why is this happening again?
[5-0.3=4]
Selina finds a fallen tree. This looks as good a spot to stop and help M out as any.
*ignores drama and continues to post*There aren't any blankets around, but you can smother the fires with those bloody clothes over by the enemy soldiers once you remove the bones and mush. So, you do. You try to convince the soldiers to help...
"Not magically, no. Whatever the fuck it is I control makes fire, but it's not fire. Normally? I can try."
See if I can get a blanket or something, and smother what fires I can, cut off those I can't from more fuel. Basically, run containment. Grab anyone that's able to work to help me.
"Uh, we ain't gonna be stoppin' anything with magic, lady, since me and pirate lady've got flammable powers, lightman sets fires and the rest are kinda out at the moment. And these are oil fires. And I've been round the block enough to know that ya can't put out an oil fire this easy. We better just scram outta the area fer now."...but Kext does as well.
Grab everyone who doesn't look like they're about to die in the next two minutes (get help from the lucky two unharmed schmucks) and get everyone clear of the deadly zone.
[5v5-0.2=4]
The squad leader manages to get a couple of the more lightly wounded to help him and drag the half-dozen badly wounded people away from the fires, but the third plus the two lucky bastards listen to the former pirate captain.
Fire Suppression: [1,5,5,4]
While Angel herself screws up, igniting some of the improvised blankets, the soldiers do well, and the fires are much better-controlled.
Wakey wakey[5]
You wake up. Huh, is there something going on? Why does everything smell like smoke? Did the cook burn dinner again?
Trap flames with impermeable light barriers to starve them of oxygen.Power: [4+1=5]
Control: [5-1=4]
The remaining flames are caught under glowing barriers and smothered.
Now what?
