See, "quid pro quo" typically implies that your argument makes sense.
Actually, no. So I have to agree with misko on this one.
The argument of summoning an entire species doesn't make any sense, though.
1. You can summon an entire species. Just summon every member of that species.
2. No one was talking about summoning species.
There has to be sense for an exchange to be equal. Otherwise, the best analogy is sying that 0/0=5.

Roll To Dodge / Re: The Art of Minimalism IV: Turn 23: Last Stop: Heaven

Respawn as a dancing pickle. Summon the Emperor of Mankind, at full power.
[1] You are a shoggoth. [5] "What?"

With help of demons, begin sealing wormholes to areas infested by Azathoth. Enlist aid of Kronos if necessary. Hole up in Heaven or Hell, whichever's more fun and doesn't contain YHWH or Ahura Mazda.
Both of them are in Heaven, so you [4] hop in Hell and seal all portals out! Effectively trapping yourself in a dimension with every demon and then some! Genius! ...Oh, wait. Nice thing about Hell is, you respawn automatically. Not-so-nice-thing, you're still in Hell.

ESTABLISH CHAIN OF ICE CREAM RESTAURANTS
[4] Among the crabmen not fleeing in terror from the impending doom, ice cream is quite popular.

Eat Elder Gods and absorb their power.
[1v5+3] You are eaten by some gods. Respawn?

Seal any unsealed Snarls.
[2] Thankfully, there was just the one.

Be 16, search for attractive anti-human. Someone must carry on religion when I inevitably die. And then go somewhere else.
[5] You find the only other antihuman in the universe. The two of you run away, into [6] Heaven. Oh, right, the gods.

Commune with the gods and convince them to create more realms and sentient to repair the damage caused by Azathoth and create more beings to battle his destruction
[5v3+3] Not now, kid!
(That's the best "All Gods at Once" voice I could think of.)

Spread the word of my lord and master, Azathoth. Since he's mindless, that just means spreading insanity.
[5] Many crabmen go mad.

Go to Hell.
[1] You open a portal and go to Heaven.

Stop lurra and mobius from being cut off.
Lurra's gone, in Vorthon's stomach and in Azathoth's, but [3] Mobius has a link to Heaven now.

GM TURN:
Azathoth [6] eats everything in the system. Including the gate, releasing the Snarl. Respawn, y'all?
The gods look at each other, [5+3] flee, and leave a confused Theodore Roosevelt alongside the respawners as the only life in the universe.

I'm not a robot, though. And that logic makes no sense...
Ah, I see, you're just being stupid.

Check medigun. Try not to roll a 6 again.
Heal hurt people or overheal guys with heavy weapons.

That is the sound of Bay12 rescuing orphans from a giant orphan crusher. No reason for alarm.
I really do wish our little forum could change what Congress was doing.
Send Congress an ultimatum: SOLVE THE FISCAL CLIFF OR WE'RE SHOOTING WASHINGTON, DC, WITH SUPERSONIC RAILCANNONS!

Bob... Bob... bob...

Robert Mugabe?
YES. We can solve the national debt crisis, because within a few years hyperinflation will mean that $14 trillion will be pocket change. Literally. Plus, less need for gun control and more talk about machete control.
The only problem with that is that he's possibly batshit insane.
Of course, that's only a possibility. Considering that, he might be better than what you have now.
Guarantee'd batshittery.
But who wants guarenteed anything? Life is so dull when everything is perfect. Good thing 'bout merica is we can just toss out whatever particular batshitter isn't making us laugh and toss up another one.
Yup. Democracy in action. The worst system of government except for the ones that are even worse.

General Discussion / Re: Humans, and eventually a colony on Mars.

Well, not much can stop it except sheer mass. The Earth's athmosphere is 1 kg/cm^2, so even to get half of the protection (Which would be equivalent to being at 5000m high on earth, so livable), you'd need 5m of waters all around your station. Not going to work.
Why not? All you need is lots of water.

Hold on...planning...10-meter-deep hydroponics tanks...how fast does a half-kilometer-diameter disk need to spin to give 1 G of gravity about 2/3 of the way out?

whatabout food? isint the current plan for a mars ship to have people live within their stacks of food?
Maybe, but I think that hydroponics would work better.

DF Modding / Re: Skulls from corpses?
« on: December 31, 2012, 05:17:23 pm »
but i think i've read about some additions to skulls, which was made for them to make work of crafting totems, no? or it don't work both ways?
Could you be more specific?
Skulls are body parts with a special token that lets them be used as totems, as well as separating them from the rest of the corpse. If you added the tag to, say, tails, you could make totems from deer tails and such.

WWUD if He evolved beyond the dwarf he was the minute before. Little by little advancing further with each tile, because that's how a pickaxe works! (?)
That's...that's not how evolution works...


WWUD if Minors could be Miners?
As Urist is a miner, nothing. The children would take all his work.

What would Urist do if he was a spider? Not a GCS, or even a CS, just an S?

$50k would probably get them to repaint the Sistine Chapel in ASCII.
...
AWESOME.

...How am I a robot with power, and how would that make me hypocritical?

Then everyone would start stabbing anything near them for points.
How is that different than what we do now?
