Do you really think a hero would want to hang with us?

Ciro's a hero. (Technically.)
Besides, heroes have terrible judgement.

p.s. it's great how even polls get the weird consensus effect. Once a few votes outweigh the other options, it becomes a battle between that select two or three. Now the two party system makes sense. It's not a conspiracy. It's determinism.

It's a bit more complex than that. Want me to go into some slightly cynical, uncited, highly speculative suggestions of why bi- or monoparty systems will tend to form in political entities without processes which encourage minor parties or prevent overwhelming ones?

Realistically, we could go to the Awesome Shack, sell the Ring of Sexy, and get the Team Viewer.
Because we haven't done any diplomacy in a while, and Tactical Diplomacy doesn't require rolls.

NO.
-1 -1 -1 -1.

...
Y'know, it'd be hilarious if Freeform was actually providing useful information the entire time.
Well, what's the worst that could happen if we switched to Riltia? Maybe Al becoming the main character. But that's not too bad if you're an Al fangirl... Dunno if we have any, but...

Cherish.

((There is more than one place in Hell.))

((Lunette would have figured out which place before they went there. Your response implied that she didn't have to. :|)

((Alright, you'll just have to see how this goes.))
Lunette knows where Will is, or at least where he got sent to. She now just needs to figure out where she is and how to get from there to Will's location.

((though the annoying and game hindering nature of GWGs way of handling this urges me to just say "well, too bad for will then" and call it a day, that's not quite what ICARUS would do.))

((I wouldn't be hindering the game this much if I was a cyborg with 24/7 Internet access.))

ICARUS begins the Kyle routine: Wandering around aimlessly, projecting an image of Will and asking random demons if they have seen him.

None have, or at least none say they have. Several ask why ICARUS cares, several others remain silent, and a few make it very clear that they will render ICARUS to scrap metal if she doesn't leave them alone.

Basically, she summons their bodies and souls back, and it can be permanent if they didn't belong there and aren't getting held back. It also takes about 10 minutes per person.

Alright.
Luna's summons are blocked by some force. She has a rather uncomfortable feeling in her gut.

You might get your wish.

Would that be a sky-demon, or a demon disguised as a Final Fantasy protagonist?

So last week was quite stressful and all these other weeks I've generally been either depressed or stressed also. It's spring break for me though so I guess I'll jump back in and do Mal stuff. Or I could make a new character since I've been playing too much SMT 4 and Persona haha. Iunno, whatever, someone just tell me to do something.

Why not do a miniquest or something to explain his absence?

...I am now amused by an image of Meme and Mimi being the terrors of Mermaids.

Catpeople or no, they're physically small children.

So would my character get just one persona or would he have the ability to get more personas (or maybe be like SMT and have him talk to enemies and recruit them)? Oh, and is an Evoker needed?

Only one persona, I believe, but an Evoker would be pretty damn cool to have.

Right up until an enemy with an ability facilitating sleight of hand replaces it with a loaded gun.

Oh, that's hilarious.

can't we have random perks on level up for everybody?

I approve of this idea! I'd appreciate it being applied retroactively!

Quote from: Akroma on March 25, 2014, 03:22:46 pm

elf could balance out by making the random a bit biased, and rerolling to give weaker perks to stronger abilities

And how would that make it fair to the persona players who have the crummy personas, and the fact that they might not get the perk as evidenced by Kyle's last level up?

...They would get stronger perks. Because they have weaker abilities.

Assuming the planets are terran in size, they have a volume of roughly 1.×10²¹ m³. Assuming again, that the lakes are a perfect cylinder, that gives us a radius on the scale of 10⁹ m.  So said lake would be about a million kilometer across.

The largest planet is Jovian-scale. The smallest is Terran-scale. The other one is in between.

Anyways. Remind me to do that calculation about the plane's material.

Point is, you can't have a perfect hemisphere, as the plane is only a good 32 km thick. Which would make for a rather disappointing sea and planet respectively.

Let's say they're irregular bowl-shaped somethings with the same volume as the respective planet.

That's a lot harder to calculate the stats of, though.

Ultimately, a ship we destroy is better than a ship we fail to capture. I believe to that end Steve is using the same huge-ass cannon the boarding teams used to fire actually destructive projectiles up right now.

The latter is yet another reason we don't need to perform destructive tactics.

Team B: Wild Weasels

"Hot DAMN it's good to be off that rock! Simus is down, I'll take command until she's able to take over."

Try to find anything that would allow us to open the pod in a location with atmosphere. If I can't find anything, get everyone braced and activate the laser on the side that would have been the top when fired. If it does open into vacuum, try to catch anybody that get sucked out either with my hands, or if that isn't possible, my amp.

Oh dear.

You press the button for the  cutter in the rear of the shell and, once it has opened, you immediately hurl yourself out. Luckily the ship still has its gravity systems working so you just fall down into a half melted, slumped corridor below. No signs of anyone.

I'm amazed he didn't jump into space.

You also get suited up, but since no doors are open about the most productive thing you can do is play rock paper scissors with Jack to decide who will be the first to stick their head into the corridor.

...Well? Who won?

"I need a capable tactician to take over my role as mission control for our sod team, because I need to direct the overhauling of one of our ships into a combat rescue shuttle."

...Should this have been done before we launched the people?

Smack aattss. And NAV.
