Roll To Dodge / Re: Gods of Bay12: OOC Thread
« on: June 10, 2013, 08:22:48 pm »Exponential increase does not beat steady decline when the steady decline is upon something that starts infinite. No matter how much of an increase there is, it can never catch up to infinity. Really, my comprise idea is the one that basically makes the most sense.Which one was that?
Besides, your idea requires that the Void destroys the Void Plague...and, for that matter, that the allegedly infinite Void can somehow consume all matter instantly despite not having been shown to do so, ever.
If the former is untrue, the Void Plague will continue to increase in number, exponentially, until they run out of Void to eat. As they increase in number, their rate of Void-eating increases. If the former is true, my plan is doomed to failure and never made sense to begin with. And I know I've made Void-resistant life before, so it's possible.
Worst-case scenario, a bubble of stable Something eventually develops and slowly, erratically, expands. That's good enough for me!

« on: June 10, 2013, 08:10:27 pm »-snip-Dang. I thought that was a subtle hint. I am really bad at those.
That is very, very close to the truth. In fact, many of the major details (as far as effect on the world so far, at least) are entirely correct!
Anyways...priorities. It seems that many different plans have been proposed and none supported. Trap it in rock? Snatch the glaive and attack? Somehow burn our other Attributes into Creativity and destroy the thing? Something else?

Grunt at the other heads a little. Breathe light at the spider in my mouth, pointing my head away from anything I don't want to hit. (Basic light-breath safety, y'know?)

« on: June 10, 2013, 07:57:11 pm »Oh, and Italy is about to stab England.This is Diplomacy. Everyone is constantly in the state of being about to stab everyone they're near and not actively attacking yet.
Anyways, since no one has seriously raised an objection I'm going to rerun the turn. Everyone, send in orders please!

"Greetings. This is the Gedankenjustierer Partei, or Gendankens for short. We have...noticed the turmoil in the way a fisherman notices a hurricane over his boat. While we understand that the Left and Right have their differences, and each feels the other will make things worse, these riots do nothing to help. Does the Conservative butcher, the Liberal baker, or the Moderate candlestick-maker have anything to do with how our countries' leaders choose to run the nation? No, they deprive us of not only meat, bread, and candlesticks, but of the German hands and heads our nation needs to come out on top once more. Please, stop this violence! If you have a problem with the government, tell the governors with your words, don't tell your neighbors with fists and flame."

« on: June 10, 2013, 07:38:55 pm »Hm, you know... I don't think we ever thought about why Proxxy hates Al. We literally never gave it a second glance.Presumably, either he's a juvinile delinquent minus the juvenile, he tried to hit on her, or she doesn't like people who kill Illborn.
also, Ciro cared more about Slog than he did about Rilitia, yet didn't care when Slog died.We never saw Ciro's reaction to Riltia's death...
Behold!Yippee!

« on: June 09, 2013, 08:07:03 pm »Respawn. Create a planet.[5] Nice planet.
Respawn. Restore Disney[3] You get a single copy of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and three of The Lion King.
Grab some popcorn, and watch River Tam beat up Hitler/Nyarlathotep (This was my whole reason for doing this) while Mal, Zoe and Jayne take out the Third Reich.You magnificent bastard. Sorta.
[1] You mistake a clip of ammunition for popcorn and get shot. Respawn?
Work my way up through the Mexican hierachy and become Supreme Overgod.[6] You do so, promptly incurring a coup. Respawn?
Have captain replaced.[5] You become captain.
Unfortunately, being an Exalted is rather hard to make a bad thing[3] You get Essence 2 and learn a Charm. [4v1] Then an enemy Exalted kills you when you're distracted. Respawn?
Ragnarok: Become Essence 10 and learn ALL THE CHARMS.
Transform to Pun Pun the Super Kobold[2] Step one fail.

« on: June 09, 2013, 07:59:21 pm »Didn't we put Frizz into storage? I thought we had.I'm pretty sure we lost Frizz when we lost Slog. Probably a bonded ability.Well, I was hoping we could test to see if we could reverse the process. If for nothing else than possibly seeing what useless skills we have churn out reagent wise. Doubt it will work, but you never know....Worth a shot. Start with something we can stand to lose. Frizz, maybe.

Wait...is there theorycrafting? Sweet!
It's not correct, but still...it's interesting enough to warrent a hint (pun subtle but intended).
Take a look at all the weird changes. Now look at the things you were making before that.

« on: June 09, 2013, 07:55:29 pm »((I'm not sure of any way to find out when someone first used that Butterfly-In-China thing, so...meh.))((Actually, I looked it up. ASoT did it first, at least with a butterfly:((Wait, it's not a reference to A Sound of Thunder? Or was ASoT a reference to it instead? I am be confused.))((Other way around--the original example was the butterfly in China causing a storm across the Pacific.))Quote from: WikipediaIn 1898,[1] Jacques Hadamard noted general divergence of trajectories in spaces of negative curvature. Pierre Duhem discussed the possible general significance of this in 1908.[1] The idea that one butterfly could eventually have a far-reaching ripple effect on subsequent historic events first appears in "A Sound of Thunder", a 1952 short story by Ray Bradbury about time travel (see Literature and print here).^_^))
