Correction, there's no way I could've screwed you guys over, with the exception of DrakYeah right.
And there's something called personality GWG. Expecting someone to treat you like royalty straight off the bat, it'll work about as well as you'd expect it to.I didn't expect being treated like royalty, I expected to be treated like a person.
Wunderbar. Begin obtaining the necessary materials for concrete, and when created get building.[2] No such luck. You find some dirt, though.
Type 'fairy'[5] HERE. A small winged girl, maybe 4 inches tall, exits, looking confused.
Claim sword from Tavik's corpse. Then make fire. Lots of fire. Fire of Deadly Burning +3, preferably.[5] You set the corpse on fire. Somehow.
Type 'because I'm Jackie Chan'.WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW?
Punch the keyboard and drunkingly walk.... north... I guess.WHAT? WHAT? You wander north.
Type in explosives[1] "EXPLOSIONS?" DON'T MIND IF I DO.[/font] Respawn?
Type in "I'm doctor Chandra"HUH?
Ok, is anyone here besides me NOT an evil god/devil/fae? There is an entire CONGRESS of evil now!...Wha? We are NOT evil. At worst, I'm a light gray.
NO. Find something else. Maybe solar generators. Or geothermal.Perhaps we could enslave an breed them as fuel for the mana generators... we have a devil of lust on our side.Did we outlaw the killing of Atheists or not? I forget.No on killing, but most were against killing all of them.
Purring maggots are insects which you can milk, and chitin is generally better than leather.Purring maggots aren't beetles and chitin is unuseable in DF as it is IRL.
I just don't believe that is possible, because when it comes down to it the saps are plants, while the fungus spawn are animals.The fungus spawn are fungi...still closer to animals than plants.
Agreed.The purpose of fusing fungus spawn and plant soldiers into one species is that it would make one far more effective species that can survive without hosts but also grow much quicker with them. Imagine if all the fungus spawn that we currently own could also produce seeds and be grown like our saps. How much more effective would our saps be if they could turn all the enemies they kill into more saps?I can't say as I support this idea...... (it seems to me that) The fungus spawn are meant to be extremely fast growing, shambling horror kind of units, whereas the saps are more along the lines of disciplined soldiers. Both are suited to different situations, and to fuse them would be to lose one form of attack in favor of another. We're chaos, and hence I think variety should be important even beyond the strategic implications.
So while we're creating creatures to do their jobs and every bit of labor in the village, what will our people do? Our people need something, they can't sit around twiddling their thumbs and praying to us for an hour and a half each day.Agreed.
I am against any more creatures, ever. We use humans from now on. Human innovation, human labor, and human blood. We don't want our people to live in poverty. That means jobs, for which they can get paid. Unless you want to just hand out a portion of our silver to all our followers each day.Agreed with most of this, but I hate the ultimatum. We will probably make new critters later, but only to solve specific problems, or perhaps some heavy infantry. The biggest problem with never making another creature is the lack of flexibility.
Too many divine workers will lead to a revolution by our own people. Clam the fuck down with the creation. Notice how every other god uses at least a small regiment of human soldiers. I get you don't want them to be in danger but, like children, they won't be all right if you block every threat to their existance. And it's not like them dying means a total loss of mana anyway, just means we should move elsewhere and start over.
Attempt to hack the computer to override the limitations. Freedom of information! Post-Scarcity Societies! For Freeeeeedom![6] HOMICIDE MODE ENGAGED.
A wall? Examine it. Where did it come from? What structure does it belong to? After that's done, make fire.Hm. It seems to be the only walls around! The ones making up the cylindrical structure!
Drink(?) blacklight tube.((It's a tube emitting UV radiation, AKA "black light".))
Type "weapons and armour"I'M SORRY TOPHAT. I'M AFRAID I CAN'T DO THAT.
Type in dragonSADLY TOO BIG.
Type in: 'fluid that when drunk conveys knowledge of every martial art ever' in.WHY WOULD I GIVE YOU THAT?
Try to open a door.No doors.
Spawn as scientist.[5] SURE THING. You get a shovel!
Type in shovel.
Come out of the pod as some drunken sword knight from some time in the past maybe.... that or I'm insane. Look at keyboard and type "hnwjhfbejhbfhebfwejhagbfahweb" on it since idk what keyboard is.WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
Type 'sword' into computer.[1] HEH HEH. A sword shoots out at you, lethally! Respawn?
Look for outlet.There is none.
Perhaps. Probably jot right now.The strength of the fungus spawn is definitely in numbers, and the ability to infect. Perhaps modifying the fungus spawn to generate more spores to be released on death.Why not modify the fungus thingy so it can grey-goo the Order lackeys? When it's done we just burn it out with a massive armada of flying infection control satellites/fortresses. Call 'em anti-bodies or something.Sounds like a possibility, but I'd rather modify the fungus than the spawn. And not expect too much of them.
Also, I'll reiterate my previous idea of the firejacket subspecies, with spores instead of the flames, for a 'hit and run' form of attack. With added chaos from the fact that they turn on themselves.Neat idea. How would that work, again?
No, it doesn't. You can't milk any giant beetles, and praying manti give chitin (useless for leather).QuoteYou can't milk a beetle. You can't get leather or furs from a praying mantis.Dwarf Fortress begs to differ.
Aw, man!I swear that if i wasn't currently comatose I would eat both your souls!GWG, why not put the jungle on a continent that isn't a rocky hellish wasteland of death and lava?Because the hellish wasteland is almost devoid of life. I must make sure there is Life everywhere!QuoteAnd I think that The Creator is mad that someone messed with his plansHeh.
Hmpf, GWG, i won't retcon that but we will assume that some several hundred Dwarves were still living in the forests,clinging to their lives.Good enough, about all I could have hoped for.
Btw, Udil is as of now Fate touched so one of the Ascendant players could take him.Cool.
Atlas will be rped by Shoot, due to him creating it and only he know how he wants them to react.About what I expected.
I would be more for keeping the two separate. In any case, they are entirely different things. The fungus spawn are the bodies of other creatures, being infested and parasitically controlled by the Corruption Fungus. The plant soldiers are essentially growable mini-ents.Agreed. A fungus hivemind sounds like a neat idea, though.
I'll join the Synod then, to you give you guys a nice odd number.Thanks, and welcome to the Synod. I think that leaves mcclay/Nicklass, jaass/Progenitos, Rhyme, and flameboy/Kazar who aren't in the Synod. We finally outnumber the others 2:1. Congrats.
