"Correvon, please for the love of all that is good never utter that sentence again.""Why not?"
"common, heads, I just want to eat, and fighting will just hurt everyone. and we are staying still too much. we need to get going before the fish or animals will be long gone""It won't work if half of us want to go one way and half the other! Please choose."
That was my point.Predictable? Sure. You could also have predicted that Ciro would kill Riltia...but he didn't. Besides, I'm not sure how "predicting" the possibility is germane, but I've also mostly forgotten what the root argument was about.He didn't, this cycle. As for other cycles, who knows?
Predicting the possibility is relevant because people were saying "the guys in charge have noted there are anomalies this cycle, the whole system is in danger!" when we have no real reason to believe that anything that's happened could cause that. If something is an easily predictable- even if uncommon- occurence, it's that much more likely to have been factored in by whoever set up the cycles in the first place.Ah. Yeah, that's a bit of a flimsy basis.
It's important to Oric, and Oric is in control of a lot. Oric will use that control to make sure things are the ways he wants it to be, which if the last cycles ended as badly for the Target as it seems from the fact that he started in power and Ciro didn't, are how the last cycle (and maybe the cycles before them) ended--with the Target losing and Oric on top.Oh, sure, some are more important than others. But none are unimportant, not to Oric, not if he's thinking...um...the way I would if I was an evil overlord in some kind of dungeon.Important to Oric, perhaps, but who says he's the one in overall control of the cycles? The flash minigame suggests he's simply the current warden, not the only one who can do the job, and that replacements are built in to the system, so him losing control is not likely the end of the cycles.
Or...they were designed by a crazy guy. Or they could be remodeled slowly on a large scale. Or there was a magma pit in the original designs.before I used that to support a theory that the dungeons somehow autorepair.I'm not saying that the dungeons must be autorepair, I'm saying that they can be quickly and easily remodelled on a very large scale. Whether that was done by Oric, Proxxy, the Angels, the Dungeon itself, or someone else entirely doesn't really matter.
Then why did the Warrens system care how much oxygen was left in the Greens? They're part of the Underside.the Greens, which seem to be a life-support system, are in the Underside. That would evidently spell doom for the entire complex within hours.Remember how I said the Underside may well not be an original part of the Warrens? If they did get added on, they would need their own life support.
Or if we're in Oversoul.Dorfliw, Nightmare Knight encounter confirmed! Think we can talk him down when we see him?That depends on whether we have Al with us.
They met before, but she seems to call everyone "darling"...Right here.Really? Which ones?Maybe Floe too since she had some sort of relationship with Ciro in a previous cycle according to flashbacksYou know what I'd like to see right about now?Goom-Bess.
The Shipping Grid
So, what to add next?
The good course of actuon would be to push Floe into an acid pit again.You have a funny definition of "good"...

We should upgrade it to a Shipping Triangrid one of these days. Or maybe Shipping Hexagon?...Why? What would that even display?
Shipping Hypercube, so we can monitor how relationships change over time.This would make more sense, except that we only need a rectangular prism.
This reminds me of old newspaper stories.*bows*
Well played.
"Um, Ok... well, he's crazy."
Ahrian turns around and looks over at the spear-bearing-girl.
"Hey, careful now, falling off that cliff would really suck."
Ahrian offers a hand to the spear-carrying girl, and watches in case she might stumble off the cliff.
If she does stumble off the cliff, try to catch her, but don't go so far as to dive off the cliff myself.
Back away from the edge, attempting not to bump anyone. Gaze out over the edge and look for a damned way down.Ahrian reaches a hand to her new friend, or at least she thinks she's a friend. Faye steps back, considering how to get down. Well, there's nothing obvious on this side, [7+1] but there's clearly a rope on the other side of the mountain one could climb down...a little...
Challenge someone to a rap battle that isn't Superblast.
Try to find a way down. Preferably one that doesn't end in my death.Edmund contemplates ways to get down, but gets nowhere before Snow comes out of it and starts rapping!
Also, be slightly willing to do rap battles, I guess.
'Hey..... does anyone know the way down?'There are several options. Surprisingly few people are actively trying to kill you. There's those other women on the edge of the cliff, the rapper rapping against some kind of poet (and losing), and even those guys in the building aren't trying to kill you. You're paralyzed with indecision...Try being more specific.
Search for anyone who doesn't appear to want me dead. Propose a team up.
".... Erm...."
Shrug
"that was strange"
Walk off and look for something intreresting.
"You was supposed to wither him like a slug! Not turn cute and furry! I'll just do it myself...."[9-3-1v3+1] Evil Unlucky swings at Ludian but is too slow to strike a crawling man. Pathetic. He curses at Mylio, who chitters angrily back, presumably complaining that she's not any more thrilled about the result than E.U. is. [3-3-1-1v10+1] Angrily, E.U. stomps over and smashes at the other man's head, [10+1+2v1-3-1;6+1v2-3] caving it in instantly. Hm, maybe "knocking out" someone requires a more...gentle touch? Still, something gives him a willie. Not the willies, just one. Maybe two.
Knock out the guy and steal his stuff. If anything looksfundangerous, use it on him.
What exactly are all the lesser races anyway? We saw their color-coding in tribe stage, but what were they called?Well, out of the five other tribes, one (the Gorvask) had their names displayed, while the others didn't reveal their names. I've assumed that other Lesser Races were added later, too.
I support the Economic path. Really, we don't have any justification for staying Green after the multiple acts of genocide. It's time to nosedive into Blue and get ready for our Red Galactic Crusade.Actually, only one or two genocides.
In theory. In practice, no nuke access.I support the Economic path. Really, we don't have any justification for staying Green after the multiple acts of genocide. It's time to nosedive into Blue and get ready for our Red Galactic Crusade.Technically we'll be Shamans even if we kill everyone on the planet with nukes.
I don't think we have any Psi powers. Or the means to create an army of little grey clones.Tau are n...oh, wrong Ethereals.
Hmm. Might you be interested in adding me to your buddies list? Maybe one of my crazy-ass things will show up during the space stage?Sorry to hear that.It's EricBlank on the sporepedia.
I can't play spore right now because I don't have the keycode anymore so I can't install it, but I can still access my account. I've got 138 items I haven't updated since... January 2010... Huh.
The LP fluff is a bit divergent from what's actually happening. But you need to be trying to see the citizens, anyways.We didn't exterminate them, we just enslaved them.Then where have they gone? Are the slaves all wearing stealth camouflage?
I like this idea. Even though it seems like it'll make Proxxy say something to the effect of:Which information were we going to use to recruit Proxxy?We say that we overheard the Blue Chick and Betweenford talking about Oric losing power soon.
Her loyalty to Oric might play in our favor if we share the information. She might be willing to work with us if she thinks we can help her help Oric.
At the very least we can bring about a truce.
