Selina has no indication of most Golems outside of Neferis. Books often portray them as constructs controlled by evil wizards.1. Neferis is anything but evil.
2. The golems themselves are never evil, and are often stated to be tools.
3. Fey are also often used by evil wizards. As are magical devices. And damn near everything.
4. On the note of Conny, do you have any idea what the Fair Folk were like in the source material?
It's almost as if I referenced the show you repeatedly named in a mad mantra!Are you trying to return to the past, now?
Why is it a burn...Because it points out the logical flaws in the plot.

The old Oldford has been replaced by Betweenford, the old Betweenford was replaced by the old Newford, and the old Newford was replaced by someone. Also, I don't know where the old Oldford went.

Or maybe this is a planet where people elect queens or something stupid like that. Anyways...do you know anything that could help us find and identify the New King?"

Oh, they could "punch upstart gods in the face," but it wouldn't be easy. It would be more efficient to screw with them other ways. (Ideally, this would also help discourage powerful gods from abusing their position too easily.)

Although...kj reminded me of a certain Misfile comic, which in turn made me think of two things:
1. How I got introduced to Misfile (someone on Bay12 mentioned the similarity of the Eladrin I made in a god game to the Misfile angels, at least in appearance).
2. A suggestion game or something where you basically play Rumsiel.
hmm, I hope the GWG stuff can be finished soon, so ICARUS can actually continue to play the game, rather than wait for GWG while days fly by like a stopmotion video of a city at night in a bad stock video.Some of us have RL stuff to do.
But yeah. After the Angel thing, I won't be doing any plots for a while. Well, not any real plots; I might throw in a brief event here and there when nothing else is going on, but only if I can make sure it stays brief this time.
Yea, other people have plots tooYou say that like I didn't intend for this to be done in a handful of posts. Instead, everyone sat around, letting the demon finish all its plans!
*inhale*...Are you including XANA in your next plot or something?
*exhale*

Still, that would be a sight worthy of epics... Also, imagine the havoc multiple Kyle's could wreck."In other news, the worldwide population growth rate increased from 1.5% to 9.6% over the past year. The suspected cause is, according to WHO, 'a small number of famous, unusually fertile adolescent males.' This is generally agreed to be highly dangerous to the continued survival of the human race."
*inhale*Are you trying to return to the past, now?
*exhale*

Gold still holds the record.I need to work on redoing some of those. The less crappy ones.
This causes Kyle to burst into laughter.*sigh*
"I'm joking Selina. Are you feeling stressed? I could give you a massage if you want."
Kyle, you really don't know how to talk to Selinas.
Merrick!Bartimaeus doesn't flinch.Wither Bartimaeus is trying to get Merrick in trouble, or...well...
"Playing hard to get? I dig."
You know what I said above? About how much Kyle knows Selina? Well, if Bartimaeus isn't trolling Merrick, he makes Kyle look like a Shys'm-Caes-damned expert on...um...girls with qualities shared by HILDA and Selina.
ICARUS teleports to the castleYeah, it is hard to run plots while acting. And trying to get a project completed before the end of the semester.
"Im back. Kyle is right, hard to stay on ball when GWG made the ball be shaped like a cube. What did I miss?"
The good news is that we made great progress!
((I swear to fucking god if you even think of using that goddamn fairy LSD shit KJ TA Lyle will bitchsmack you so hard you'll fly back in time to your birth and kill your mother with the force))The scientific absurdity hurts in an almost physical way.
Hell if I know. It's absurd.Thats kinda why Selina doesn't create golems or skeletons. Its possible she could make the intent a good one, but it would be VERY difficult.Why must golems be evil?

Skeletons however make sense.They do?

But hell, if you want me to ignore that just so Will can't actually talk with anyone, who am I to question the All-Arrogant KJ?
Sen asks again over mind link again if anyone can falsify visual feed so that she can trick this demon, again banning Angel/Nuriels bracelet.The demons begin surrounding Sen menacingly.
((sigh))Sen's attempt to deceive the demons is interrupted.
Akroma!Sen: "Well, this piece of scrap metal here has cameras in her eyes, maybe I can get something..."
"Cameras which say whatever you want 'em to, I'm sure."
Demons start grabbing everyone while they're limp.
((Who all is in the group, again?))
Mallory finds himself suddenly off balance and he stumbles into a chair. He buries his face in his hands leans over so his head is by his knees. "Fuuuuuuuuuuuck" he says into his hands which muffle the sound a bit.<That's usually how it happens, yes.>
"...w-wait... th-thats the pl-plan...?" Selina is also confused."First I've heard of it, too. At least, heard of it as a 'plan' rather than an 'idea'."
How the hell did Will know they were talking about something interesting? It's almost as if he has super-intuition or a device that lets him eavesdrop on everyone else or something!
"Well it's cross-dressing like a car in a dress would be cross dressing."<Cars don't have self-image.>
"Just shutting off various bodily functions at random will do more harm than good."<There is a difference between "slow down" and "stop". Is your inability to comprehend the difference why you failed your driving test?>

« on: April 05, 2014, 09:29:42 pm »FFS, don't give ffs ideas!+1 to trying to revive a wisp because I mean even if it turns out to be aggressive, it's not like one wisp is that much of a threat.Cue it reviving as a giant wisp.
I'm not commenting on this idea, but it's obviously reversible.Use Illborn Exchange on Slog. Combine Slog essence with Wisp essence, place the result in Illborn Exchange and activate.-1
Try it on something else before we do it to something we're emotionally attached to.
Hey, we can farm Illborn for essence. Good to know.Assuming we can get them into the Exchange. We should figure out how to get hostile Illborn in it.
... do we?Well, we can't use the essences of other Illborn in it like such.
-snip-Alright. I think it's fair to say that the Exchange's only purpose is harvesting/reviving Illborn. Therefore, some Illborn have multiple reagents.
With the Exchange we kill of our Illborn party members, stuff their corpses into the Storage with their essence. This means we can store (infinite)Illborn into the Storage, and vice-versa revive our dead party members.1. Is Storage infinite?
2. It doesn't work on non-Illborn. Which is most of the party.
You're being trapped by the 'too awesome to use' fallacy.Except that full heals are useful universally and don't have good alternatives. There are other, slower ways to get out of DL 3, and we should use those instead--until we're trapped in DL 3 or need to flee it immediately. Say, if Cain gets loose when we're down there.
When, if ever, are we going to use it? It's like saving all those full heals well after the final boss because 'you might need it later'.
In short: Like so many fallacies, there are some rare cases where it is actually a sound argument, and this is one of those cases.
I hope Swordshift gets used eventually. Ciro has a special spriteset just for attacking with that weapon.Then maybe you should provide us with a situation where it would be useful.
...Useful, not required! There is a difference!
Thank the GM for being nice about that whole hat-swap-SP trick.
Wasting limited resources foralmostno reason? No.
No river dolar sweeping? We need the river dolar, even if we have to endure a Zelda-level puzzle to get it.+1

« on: April 05, 2014, 09:11:09 pm »Oh, by the way everyone, what do you think of the game so far?It doesn't update enough, but otherwise it's great.
A war of allies.Yes, well, the lesser gods will certainly throw things out of balance. Because currently that battle is tied, both in godly power and in acts.In my opinion, you guys need more conflict with each other. Create some Artifacts to prepare yourself to Slay a God, or in preparation to another God wanting to attack you.Oh, that's happening between the Forest and Chaos gods due to my fuckery. There just haven't been enough turns.
...You know, I'd like it if more powerful gods found it progressively more difficult to attack each other directly, instead favoring having their allies/servants attacking the allies/servants of each other. I'm not sure how to do this, though.
Did you update? If so, I didn't notice.

+1+1We've been a plot savy NPC up until now so I think we should say: "Thanks but I'm mostly hiding from backlash and AoE. I mean who is going to attack a guide NPC unless they are a mentor, which I am not, or you have become attached them and the Big Bad kills him in a dramatic moment where you swear vengeance on your fallen friend."Say this.

Play With Your Buddies / Re: (KSP LP) Bay12 Space Program: I Have A Bad Day
« on: April 05, 2014, 08:49:08 pm »
I installed two new mods: Infernal Robotics and Vanguard Parachutes. I hope to use one of them and hope I don't need the other. Guess which is which.
Anyways, yay. We now have kerbal parachutes which I might be able to use, and will probably eventually get robot parts.
Anyways, yay. We now have kerbal parachutes which I might be able to use, and will probably eventually get robot parts.
We can probably get to Minmus (or at least Minmal SoI), especially if MechJeb at least coughs up the Δv data. Let's try!
Well, first off, MechJeb is still silently useless. DAMMIT! What the hell, KSP? I need that Δv information!
Undeterred, I build a rocket. Sadly, Lightshot is working almost as well as MechJeb, so I can't show you a picture of it. On top is a Science Tower like we've used before, with a decoupler and a smallish rocket beneath. Around that are four rockets with over 600 units of fuel and one LV-T45 each, and beneath each of those is a Rockomax solid booster. The whole thing is disturbingly lacking in struts, because we don't have those. Piloting this mission is one Dudzer Kerman, a name you know you can trust to be competent.
At 5,000 meters, we drop the solid boosters. I push my apoapsis to 75 kilometers, set up a maneuver node that almost brings my periapsis out of the atmosphere, burn, and prepare to raise the periapsis. I burned early, expecting that acceleration would be lower on the upper stage. I was...technically right, but it was still an early burn. Well, the early burn catches the worm, right? Anyways, I overburn from distraction, and set up another node for a roughly-400-km-altitude orbit. After that, I need to correct my 6.5-degree inclination difference, which is coincidentally done with burns near the apoapsis and periapsis. After much fiddling, I bring the inclination difference down to 0.2 degrees. Fiddling with maneuver nodes gets me an easy Minmal encounter. Note to self: Eyeball-estimating rising positions really does help! Four days from now, we'll be close to Minmus. And it only took three-quarters of our upper-stage fuel! Did I mention I didn't intend to land?
As I warp ahead, I discover to my horror that the Minmus encounter vanishes! There's a Mun encounter ~39 days off, but no Minmus. What the hell? And why is everything shaking?
You know what? I'm stopping now and coming back when everything's less buggy.
