« on: March 15, 2014, 03:14:31 pm »Why does it bother you so much that it's called the Wall of Stars? That's most likely the mortal name for it anyway. Gods probably call it 'Shelf of Unlimited Test Run Servers' or something.And why did the mortals name it that?

That sounds boring. Not even a nice resolution at the end, just sequel after sequel until the fans tire of it.

« on: March 15, 2014, 03:10:47 pm »Yeah, the current situation doesn't really allow for much creative roleplaying. It's pretty much just follow orders, shoot the sods in front of you, receive a number telling how much damage you did, repeat until death.This so much.
Especially for the newbies who don't even have multiple options of what to shoot with and how.

« on: March 15, 2014, 03:09:40 pm »@GWG, if accurate naming is of such importance, should we rename Creation as Order, Void as Chaos, Fate as Void or Decay? Seeing as Void seems to have quite a it of stuff in it and its emphasis on rule-breaking over actual emptiness makes it more suited for a Order-Chaos system then a Creation-Destruction system considering that people are making stuff out of Void along with its lack of actual emptiness. Fate is more of an emptiness or false-vacuum decay thing after all (and actually was originally named void, its manifestation name was changed to distortion as @Scapheap had a different idea of void). If so, that could actually clear up some confusion...Indeed. Not as important, since
A. the names aren't terribly wrong, compared to "The Wall of Things Which Don't Exist Anywhere Near It".
B. the names were correct until recently, and
C. the names have a good amount of Grandfather Clause behind them.

I suppose under such a scheme, the Wall of Stars would require a different name yet retain a poetic presence. Celestial Phantasmagoria? Wall of Scintillations? What name would you suggest that retains or has a greater poetic sense whilst still retaining accuracy?I suggested a couple earlier. The Wall of Lights seems nice, and retains essentially the same structure.
Or, Akroma could name the lights and call it the Wall of [That].
as if the quantum mechanics mumbo jumbo would reduce confusion...Confusion? Who cares about that?

Ayup. In the end...have we considered allying with Oric, if the angels turn out to be worse?

It would be nice, but...well, there's not much room for fluff in the middle of battle.

« on: March 15, 2014, 01:52:45 pm »And since you're complaining...1. Complaining about what?
How will Nuriel react to Luna sending Kyle a memory of Selina and her getting it on?
2. Annoyed, probably. He might have to make it up somehow.

« on: March 15, 2014, 01:51:40 pm »Here's a thought.Including the game itself. Especially if those theories about the Astral Influx being related to our control over Ciro are true.
If we really wanted to disrupt the cycle, the worst thing to do would be destroy the Astral Influx. No Ciro Soul, no target, no cycle, all is wrecked.
...until Oric un-willborns Ciro, and resets the cycle.If he can. Probably easier to get a new Target, really.
We could make various impossible plans to break the cycle and try them all until we roll a 20, since we can't just repeat one plot over and over again.-1

« on: March 15, 2014, 01:47:10 pm »which you provoked over the course of you harrasing me, now either post a cute animal or be silent, on Elfs request this is now a cute animal threadOf course. Counter-arguments are harassment, and your scathing response to Elf was provoked by me! That makes absolutely no sense.
Spoiler: At your request... (click to show/hide)
how would her killing herself change the past?How does Nuriel create fire?
I prefer to tell myself she is an animal, as facing the truth would be too discomfortingHuh?
Why am I only replying to Akroma? Or, rather, why is no one but Akroma saying things I can reply to?
I'm Athiest...And? I'm an atheist, I see no problem in using metaphorical Jesuses. Jesu? Jesui? Jesi?
Also whoo, you're not Akroma.

« on: March 15, 2014, 01:30:41 pm »I'm talking in theory, of course.And he seems to do a much better job. Or maybe he just isn't as good at mass combat stuff.
From reading everything, PW appears to handle more smaller things better than fewer larger ones, but that also means more overhead and behind the scenes effects to manage.
Indeed, I've noticed that to. We are lucky we have been able to keep a sort of organized team structure running on these big missions. Imagine 30+ players all running around sans direction or cohesion.I'm imagining it. Not much different than what's going on now, actually.

Ooh! Or he could tell us "You are going to die in about two minutes" and then attack us!
