RESET! The rules are changing. And a few details may be lost--I hope not.

REPLACE TALONISWOLF'S INSULIN WITH KNIVES

[2]
You start to, then realize that he probably needs that insulin. Knives won't cause the body to absorb glucose, they'll cause it to leak blood! You begin to rethink your life.

SHOOT UNIVERSE WITH HEALING IMPLOSION. IT IS NOW HEAL.

[1]
The universe is now imploding.

Eat Birdy's liver.

[5]
Ew. Liver.
...Why does everyone say liver tastes bad, anyways? I've never had any.

Sit out my timeout.

...
I'm not gonna roll for this.

Turn slap-fight into elaborate dance, clutch a rose with my teeth!

[1]
You step on the other person's foot. The dancer's palm hits the GrizzlyAdamz in the forehead, shattering the skull, shoving the skull through the brain, and tearing apart the brain!
The GrizzlyAdamz has been struck down.

Attempt to fly away, thus protecting my liver from ground based enemies.

[1]
You fly into a conveniently-shaped rock that cuts out your liver before blazing glory eats it.

Wait, you're giving up already? Or are you not giving up the reins? I'ze confuse.

Not giving up the reins.
Yes, I realize I already replied to this, but I also just noticed how my statement was ambiguous.
Anyways, want to play?

MAKE ALL ROLLS USE RANDOM TYPES OF DICE

[0]
Dude. Not cool. Especially since you didn't specify a system for how the random dice rules would work.

Stop messing with the rules and play the game.

Take over everyone's Pancreas via rapidly spreading plague, and take over by threatening to make alcohol impotent.
The ultimate threat on Bay12? Threaten the booze stockpile.
Edit: Forgot a whole word somehow.

One action per turn, please.
[1]
You infest your pancreas with the Bubonic Plague!

Attack this guy stop him from destroying the booze its the only thing keeping us from wreaking the universe...again... you know I've lost count how many times we've done that now

[5v2] You bite TalonisWolf! You do not get infected with plague! He loses the use of one of his feet!
You feel kinda bad for biting a sick guy!

Summon knife elemental. Make him stabbity everything except me.

[1] The knife elemental decides it doesn't want to listen to you any more and stabbities you.

Respawn.

[1]
You were evidently mean to Ganesh in your last life (you don't understand how Hinduism works), so you become a flea.

Assist All of GWG's True Allies in their actions while attempting to alter the Ragnorok by Killing Fenrir before Odin Dies.

[6] You kill Fenrir. This causes Odin to try and aid Thor, which surprises him, causing both to die to Jormugandr before Thor can kill it.

Oops.

Summon A potato for everyone to stop all this fighting.

[6]
You summon the A-Potato, which seems to be a potato with the powers of the A-Team! You attempt to activate it, but discover it instead has the powers of an A-Bomb.

((Remind the GM that since I rolled a [||||||] last turn, every roll result must be represented with a meter rather than a number))

A lot got changed when this switched GMs. That's one of the casualties.

Achieve victory.

[6]
You're winner! New Game! Back to Level 0.

TITLE UPDATED

Yes.
Yes, it is.

Use Chaos Power to create a supermassive black hole whose strength is relative to the power of the Chaos Meter which begins destroying the entire universe, adding power to the Chaos Meter!
Btw, I am immune to it's pull.

You all had better I hope I fuck up here somehow.

[5]
Oh screw you.

Turn another player into an AI

[1] You are now an AI character.

---

NPCs:

Shoot the giant snake thing!

[4-1][2-1][5-1]
You shoot Jormugandr, hitting one eye, scratching its flank, and killing a bunch of you.

Create an Ice Castle.

[6] You can't help but freak out at the everything. The universe starts freezing.

Reduce the chaos of the universe.

[3] -1 Chaos

---

Characters:

Alright. That looks good.
If I made a mistake, point to proof that the mistake was made and I'll give you a +1 to your next action.

I'm amused by Kyle trying to appeal to the better nature of demons.

Luke, regardless of the two dudes in the front of the store, you can't just cower at the back because 'I MIGHT GET HURT'.

Yes he can. He's proving it to you.

At least, that's my opinion.  Kri might be different.  I am kinda arguing in their place.

Kri stated a different opinion, which I was pointing out was kinda silly.

And why is that? What makes you you? Why do the clones' changes make it not-you, but your changes--which are not inherently more or less changing than the clone's--leave you you?

Hmm.  I'm pretty sure this has been stated every possible way by now.  I'm beginning to think our minds simply work differently.
[/quote]
Possibly. Or, it's possible that you've never explained it. I'm leaning towards the latter.

Actually, there's one more way to put it: the idea is, a creature 'dying' (brain completely ceasing to function) causes it to no longer be that creaure.  It has ended.  Died.  You can make a copy, but it isn't the same creature.  It's a different thing experiencing stuff.

So, you're with the "continuity of brain" thing.
Did you know that your brain also replaces its bits? Not as much as other parts of the body, certainly, but it does.

I'll say again, for all logical intents and purposes, there is no difference between the critters.  They are the same thing.  But from an emotional/philosophical PoV, the first has died, and the second is a mimic.

Why? Why is the second inherently so different from the first? You've been saying they are, but you've never said why.

Quote from: GWG

...Which is?

Because the clones still die.  They're just replaced by a different clone.  A clone which is a clone of the original branch no less, so this argument is irrelevant to whether or not he's immortal.

Only if you consider clones to be completely different people, which is an argument no one has been able to maintain without basically saying "they're different because it's a different body/brain/whatever!"

Grate's been whistling every time someone mentioned the manipulator battery incident for months now...

Nope. Only me.
So if you need to take your vengeance, you'll need to come to me.

If GWG wants to be smug and annoying he can fend for himself.

I'm willing to do this, but if you drag Grate into this I will make a string of characters who are even more annoying than whistling 24/7. And I will whistle at everything just to annoy you.
You have been warned.

He then proceeded to do so and his player ended up being a bit too smug and annoying for his own good.

So why are you punishing Grate?

Nah, it's just kinda funny how boasting backfires on occasion.

...How is the whistling boasting?

If you happen to see small children being tossed out the airlock/being beaten to a pulp/eaten, don't worry, they deserve it.

No, he doesn't.
He'll come back, though. And then he'll tell Jim!

GWG for combat against mass numbers of low-grade enemies, like the humans Kyle is currently fighting, I'd suggest mass combat rules in a swarm system

To be fair, I'm doing that a little.

str = 5/10/15 +number of enemies/numbers of enemiesx1.5/number of enemiesx/2
dex = 5/10/15 +number of enemies/numbers of enemiesx1.5/number of enemiesx/2 when attacking, however no bonus when defending
end = 5/10/15
mag = 5/10/15 +number of enemies/numbers of enemiesx1.5/number of enemiesx/2 (if they attack magicaly)
mind = 5/10/15

Eh...

*surprised nobody brought up the date I posted that on*

...?

And if ffs doesn't want us to keep retrying until we get something we like, he shouldn't give us crappy weapons.

In your proposed scenario, 200d1 is far from being a 'crappy weapon'.

It's a random number I chose. I don't think we're ever going to have a weapon capable of dealing damage in the multiple dozens (except on opponents weak to that kind of damage), let alone hundreds.
