Balance Guardian, you bring up some good points. However:
1. I'm not sure how that's "cheating". Breaking into freeformschooler's house and reading his adventure notes is cheating, but interpreting from the updates is fine and encouraged.
2. The "narrative control" probably is the Oversoul.
3. Slog loves everyone.

Wouldn't electrosense allow us to use electrically based tools from a distance? It's the equivalent of looking at the steering wheel to turn left.
absolutely not. It's like assuming we can use light-based tool with our eyes.
Funnily enough, there are devices that can be operated with the eyes, intended for quadrepalegics IIRC.
Devices which are operated by electrosense are probably a good bit above electricity in the metaphorical tech tree, but they're probably doable.

The main problem with an underwater civilisation is a lack of smelting.
Why is metal so needed for civilization? It's one thing, and a thing many peoples lived without, and several empires arose with very little of.
And why is smelting needed? Presumably you can cold-forge metals underwater as well as on land.

The character limit in the sig is such a pain, so I've decided to put my forum games here and link to this post from my sig.

Not all games I'm running will be put here, just ones I bother to.

A Beginner's Guide--Inspired by an MS Paint Adventure thingy, guide Persana through a realm she creates and discover the nature of the universe. ASCII Suggestion Game.

The Islands of Misery--A Roll to Dodge game where players battle it out for power, fun, and the precious Loot everyone has.

-----

Let's Spore--A Suggestion Let's Play of Spore. My first game of Spore in a while...
How much does it cost to buy advertising space here?
Hm...that is something I had not even contemplated contemplating.

((oops.))
"sorry. Misread."
Apologize. Exit quickly. Turn self into monkey using shirt-thing. Climb to top of building.
((it works like that, doesn't it?))
You'll find out when freeform posts an action...

"Wow, you're good! ...Do you know any other good games? Hey, maybe we could try chess!"

See if I can make/find/whatever a chessboard.

"By the way, what's your name?"

Use my Velociraptor nose to sniff out communism. Eat whoever smells of communism, as part of my alliance.
Try to smell All-Fereld--I mean, all Dereldinian. And not Communist.

30577
It would make for a great movie, though.
What would the plot be?

Maybe something with Osborn's bookwyrm being transported to Earth?

Is there any fathomable way to have no mouth? Tentacles are obviously cliche, but for good reason...
If we were fine with being an herbivore with the very most basic mouth, we could keep that filter-feeding mouth from Cell Stage. That's about it.

Not neccesarily. We'd starve to death forever and always but mouth's arn't needed in spore if I recall correctly.
Barring some cheat/exploit, Spore does not let you save creatures without mouths. And I'd rather not keep starving to death, that seems like it would be annoying.

@Wyrm: What's the creature's name? I like the name Cupcake [you know why...] so we should name it a Slendermint Cupcake
I was planning a different name for each creature.
...Cupcake...Cupcake...I know this one...was that from the other Spore LP?

I demand tentacles. ALL of the tentacles. None shall be spared from the wrath of the tentacle.
You can have tendrils, you can have handless arms, but AFAIK there are no per-se tentacles in Spore.

I also demand that this creature have no legs. It may have ludicrous amounts of tentacles, but not a single leg must be found. All hail our legless overlords!
Works for me. I don't remember if my achievements from the other computer were saved.


So...Cell Stage. More accurately, Microbe Stage, since you start pretty complex for a "cell" and only grow bigger from there. What shall we do?

30579
You got a microphone of any sort?
Maybe.
Not sure how to use it.

Dick-monster, obviously.
No!
No Sporn.
Agreed.


So...Screenshots, wing it, no ideas for POV, and Planet Slendermints. I can do this.


I'll start this afternoon, but until then we need to figure out cell stage. For instance, is it worth breaking up into multiple updates, and what should I try to do/make for the first one?

There is sane, there is crazy, there is homestuck/bronies, and then there's bay 12.
HEY.
I AM BOTH A HOMESTUCK FAN AND A BRONY.
AND WE ARE NOT CRAZY.
You're not really a good choice to choose as an example of sanity seeing as you're...well, a non-GWG Bay12er.

Or, or, or the brightly-colored genius sparrow constantly shooting out anime-esque lasers from it's eyes that are THREE FEET IN DIAMETER.
Being blind while flying is a bad combination.
Laser eyes insure that anything I look at is disintegrated, thus I never crash into anything.
Not really. Putting aside how things (*cough* hawks *cough* owls *cough* magical flying pirate ships *cough*) could easily attack from the side and how I doubt that you have that much sheer power, lasers don't have very good spread, so you'd mostly be making eyeholes in whatever you crashed into. And that's ignoring the inherent issues with aiming eye lasers...

Shock the big robot in an area sensitive to overloads. Basically, Robo-Pressure Points with lethal electric shocks.

Well, I can cast spells, so I'm fine with the traits.
Probably going to be funnier.

Summon a female companion.

Play With Your Buddies / Let's Spore: Civilization Stage: The End
« on: May 09, 2013, 10:04:35 pm »
I just got a new laptop and installed my old Spore disc on it. You know what that means, right?

Exactly--Do a Let's Play for the benefit of Bay12, and catering to their suggestions.

-----

Let's get some basic issues settled before we actually start.

Firstly, how should I do this? Screenshots or video, and if the latter, how would I do it?

Secondly, what should our general plan, if any, be?

Thirdly, what should the POV be?

Fourthly, what shall we name our planet?

Check pockets. Actually, check clothes, as in what clothes do we have?

Knock on the door seven times.
