« on: March 02, 2013, 01:45:32 pm »Huh?Not to rattle your cage, but Udil in the Pantheon thread is a good example of boldness beating cleverly-planned moves by sheer brute impetuosity. He's quite the magnificient bastard.Fortune favors the brave. Tally-ho!No, fortune favors those who make their own luck. Aka, the smart.
He killed Neyravah when his player lacked the ability to counter-attack due to not being present, one of the few times in recent history where said player has been absent for an extended period of time. (Damn you 1.7 Days in Infamy!)
He failed to kill Az-Sho due to tactical and strategic idiocy, and now runs to Thaneos and others in hopes of not dying.
As a demigod ruling essentially all dwarves, he has the power to overcome anything with brute force.
Aside from combining with sheer luck in Neyravah's case, boldness had nothing to do with his successes and everything to do with the failure that destroyed his dwarves before his ecological incompetence could.
...Sadly I have no comment on anything directly related to this game.

« on: March 02, 2013, 01:38:37 pm »More than what we could do with a book.True, but the book is to learn alchemy, which would be kinda useful in figuring out how to use and transport explosives without accidentally detonating them...
Point taken, point untouched. We're transporting lots of high-grades explosives...We're not transporting firecrackers, you know. Anyways, with our medical knowledge as it is, what could we really heal?Well, + 6 Medicine isn't half bad, honestly.
And, for that matter, what exactly can we do with a simple medkit?
Quote
We also have + 6 Survival, which prompts me to ask a question of the setting: How common are medicinal plants and such? Enough that with our skill we could find some in most places, or no?Probably, but who knows?
It's all a question of scale- you need to be holding that firecracker to lose a hand, while that's the same degree of injury we'll suffer if we're a dozen feet away from the boom boom wagon. We just need to be careful about not being on the wagon when it goes up.And without knowing anything about alchemy or explosions, how would we be able to guess that?
Quote
Besides, we haven't heard details on the mission yet, so for all we know we'll be accosted by brigands or hostile wildlife or who knows what all else. I'd rather have basic medical supplies to prevent infection and ensure natural recovery than have to pony up for magical healing (assuming such exists in the setting.)If that happens, I'll recant my stance. If not, I'm staying true.
Quote
MORE IMPORTANTLY, maybe we'll get a rakish scar to go with our hat and cape! Truly the most dashing of accessories, if we can treat it so it doesn't look super evil/disfiguring....
Which, with knowledge of alchemy and hence explosives, would be more probable.It's all a question of scale- you need to be holding that firecracker to lose a hand, while that's the same degree of injury we'll suffer if we're a dozen feet away from the boom boom wagon. We just need to be careful about not being on the wagon when it goes up.It even better if it does not goes up at all.

Heheheheheh. This ought to be good.WHAT ON PLANET ARE YOU THINKING?
What happened to the last guy to give Udil a boost? Head North and see. What happened to the other guy who tried to help Udil and his dwarves? Go ask Az-Sho or Corvus. This won't end well.

Anyway, who wants a free mighty act per turn? Aodun isn't using that spire of his anymore and he isn't exactly in a position to complain about anyone stealing it. (No, it isn't bonded to him, all you have to do is waltz on over to it, and BOOM, mighty acts for you!)Which continent is it on?

Nethalkar, the Mountain Dragon, Child of Feros, Child of Neyravah, Child of Nature, watched as the dwarves destroyed the jungles his grandparent(s?) had made, with bolt, axe, and plow. Unable to do anything for the few remaining drakes or to the dwarves, guarded by the Drakeslayer and the Alltraitor as they were. So Nethalkar waited.
When it felt the tremors caused by Az-Sho, the Great Serpent, Nethalkar feared for a moment, then realized the intent.
"Az-Sho does not hate the wilds," he thought. "And Neyravah gave him and his dwarves the Flamoaks and many other gifts besides. This must be a squabble amongst dwarven gods."
And so it was.
Nethalkar pondered what to do, torn between rescuing the few surviving drakes and helping the dwarves. At last, he made a decision.
"The drakes are good, but they are almost gone. I must let them go. Thus, I know my course...
Travel the Ninth Continent, searching for living Soultaken, or Seaspawn or other sentients for that matter. Even dwarves, if they want to flee Udil. Offer to take them to a safer land. Once I can carry no more dwarves or there is no more of the Continent to search, fly them to somewhere uninhabited on the First Continent. While in flight, tell the dwarves stories of Grandfather Neyravah.

Lead the group through Red and Infrared corridors to reach the place where we pick up the experimental gear.
Lead from behind, so I can keep an eye on potential traitors like a good Mission Leader should.

Here's a delayed post I found, with some edits made for the times.
' was planning to make some of the dwarves not need to eat. Which doesn't help with the complete loss of raw materials from the ocean and the forest.
And now onto posts from since my last one.
On one note, [PMED_TO_GWG], so the devastation won't matter as much.He
You take me too literally.An anti-mutare would've given Thaneos a new kid, wiped out all life on the continents before destorying the entire planet and star.Oh, and my condolences to Firelordsky, who was killed for doing absolutely nothing wrong. - we need another overgod.+1
If it wasn't too late and there was a chance in Hell that I could be elected, I'd ask if you guys wanted me to be the Overgod, seeing as he'd probably be like an anti-Mutare.
...Corvus should have become the overgod.
Quote
You're not even in the game!I'm eating that guy, he is too cheerful and not random killy-killy. It disturbs me.Welp, one new, COMPETENT, overgod coming up...Dear Gods, we're all doomed.That good Ghaz, or did I need to edit something?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Quote
Mutare was just provoking...just about everyone. THAT was stupid.You mean "idiotic" in the sense of Azathoth, more of a force of nature with no true intellect? Also, I was gonna create a full universe, galaxies and all but Thaneos killed me before I could wake up.Please, the other two were idiots. I'll certainly outlast both their reigns combined.Evidence suggests otherwise. Avarian was far less idiotic than Mutare, but his reign was shorter.
And now onto posts from since my last one.
I had an idea. If I die, I'm totally going to go up to Thaneos' fortress and explode all over it.And then our ghosts can plot against Udil.
Quote
If I survive, though, I hope you see what a precarious position you've put me in. I will have to retaliate.Oh, aye.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedEvilInACanThat's a great idea! We should seal Udil somewhere! And then toss it deep into space, in the middle of a gas giant or star or something!
And something in the Void, the Nether, the Aether, the Other Place, a Stone Dragon is sitting playerless.Unless I finally get the OK to play it.
the Dragon, which ill give to GWG so that he is happy.Yay! Where am I?
As long as we leave Udil alone and not open the Rift, Sabt Golgo will probably leave everyone alone.Do you think he'll count "only attack him in self-defense" as "leave Udil alone"?
That's just an engineering issue.Sabt Golgo's planet-sized cannon.Can't hit me. You'll see why when I get in.

What gave you the idea that Portal was postapocalyptic?Sunglasses aren't in common use. I am the first to use sunglasses in the history of Portal.But portal is supposed to be set in a sort of...post-apocalyptic future. So Sunglasses have been invented. Multiple times. ALTHOUGH, there is a chance that all the copyright laws have been abolished at this point in time.
