"Well, Bliz, whaddya think?...No, not now. That's for later...Oh, good idea, I need a flare gun. First, though..."

The wall's only two meters high? That's only a bit taller than a person. Ignis will take a running jump at the wall and grab the top of it before pulling himself over.

A: Do you know how much money we would need to make, and finace a third party? Hell, we wouldn't even have that many people willing to join. Pretty much half the country is dem and half is republican. There is no room for a thrid party, we need a revolution.
Well, as it so happens, your plan requires a revolution as well as getting someone into the Presidency. And it also gives a very, very powerful terrorist organization prime blackmail material on us. I't not perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than your idea.
And no, your claim is wrong. There's at least 10% of people swayed one way or the other each election, plus the people who actually vote independent. I'm a bit insulted at your implying I don't exist.

The Indigo citizen pauses, glances at his wrist, and seems to jump. Quickylmhe says, "Close enough. A few more details would probably be a good idea. I'll try to make this quick.
"First, there's something special being given to you, courtesy of R&D. Revolutionary new design...invaluable...also team communication system...R&D will brief you. Excellent.
"Second, there's some missing stuff after a failed mission in the OUTDOORS sector. PLC will provide you with a list of missing inventory. You will 'make a reasonable effort' to find and return the items.
"Third, several Troubleshooters went missing and...huh that's interesting, The Computer has ended this section in the middle of a sentence but at the end of a page.
"Ah, here we go. This probably means you're supposed to head to the PLC warehouse in the PDQ sector for outfitting. Then head to R&D, and be on your way!
"Oh, I almost forgot. There's three Infrared laborers to assist you. They are directly responsible to your missing team leader, but should help you. And...oh, dear, I'm late for another briefing. Ask Citizn Ness-Y or Dr. Num-O anything else you need to ask. Good day!"
The man in Indigo grabs his notes and hurries to the door, two of the Blue guards chasing after him as well.

Psst! This is a good time to ask questions!

Krieg means war...Marine means oceanic...we're engaging in a war over oceans?
Yup! Thats basically German for "Navy," but I guess thats sort of an oversimplification of the word. If only I actually knew the language. :P

I was going to ask you fellas whether you all want to be on the same ship as a crew, or captains of your own vessels.
Same ship! Same ship!

Have you never watched Temple of Doom, GM? For shame.
I have, but not for a while. Why?
Kalimah! Kalimah shaktinae!
Humnumshivahumnumshiva
Kalimah was that evil god from the movie.
Ah.
...I like my interpretation better. But we can use yours.

Age to 12.  Must be at least 12 to lead riot, otherwise is just ridiculous.
[5] You are the antihuman equivalent of 12.

Mark Snarl as demon.
[2] Nope. It's worse.

Screw it all, summon Divine. She'll sort this mess out.
...No.

Summon Azathoth. Also, NOM MOAR PLANETS.
[6] You can't nom more planets. Azathoth nom'd you.

GM TURN:
The demons contemplate destroying the universe, but it's past the Omnicidal Powers Critical Mass and reaching the Ideal Mortal-To-God ratio. [3+2] They save the PCs from the Snarl and ask them for help!
Azathoth destroys the last planet in his universal shard, Antichthon. Millions of Antihumans die (which puts the universe over the Ideal Mortal-To-God ratio, as about 75% of all mortals were there).
The Snarl moves on the Mobius/Sanctuary system as Azathoth starts to pour through the portals to there.
The gods clear out Heaven of demons. Kalimah backstabs YHWH and heads to Mobius.

Why don't we take over America? It has vast resources and it would be kinda easy.
...because of it's military power and the instant that America crumbled, the rest of the world would be going at our throats to grab land/resources/nuclear missiles/etc.
A: We don't fight the military head on.
B: No, we would be seen as a rightful revolution. At least in my plan we are.
First off, we pool together a large fortune. Then we get in touch with some terrorist groups. We combine all the groups we can find into a single organization, overshadowing even Al Qaeda. Then, we set them against the US. While the chaos ensues, we get a puppet president into the white house, one who can stir the people into a frenzied rage and fear. Then, using that guy we start taking away all the rights of the people under the guise of "protecting" them. Then, we start another group, supposedly peaceful. That is us publicly. We start a revolution against the oppresive government. When we succeed we will "execute" the previous heads of governement, really just killing a look a like and sending them off with a huge bag of money, and actually execute the terrorist groups. We have solidified our power base with the people, taking out the oppressive government, and taking out the evil terrorists. Then the full power of the US is under our control.
A. We don't need to fight them head on; they can kill us head on.
B. A better option in the description. Your detailed plan sucks, though. It's a great way to alienate the intelligentsia and would create a terrorist organization with way too much power over the US government. Anyways, the president can't take away rights; even if we got both the executive AND legislative branches, we'd need serious amendments to remove rights; and the idea in general is stupid.

Just fund a new party with our large fortune. The Republicans and Democrats are spending billions, maybe trillions, to make the other side look bad; we step in and build our own image. Bam, we get some congressional and other offices. We start a website which asks Americans to weigh in on the issues, vote the way the majority does on all the bills, use that to improve our image even more. We go from minority to, with luck, majority. Then we can pass laws and get a president and stuff.

Potatoes? In a high-fantasy medieval world? Isn't such a world usually based on the European Middle Ages?
Trust me, potatoes are the least important anachronism in an average world. I suppose you're going to complain about the cacao beans too...

EDIT: Hey, three pages!
That's looking really good. Here's an idea: Races can harvest certain kinds of resources better. Dwarves might mine +50% of various mineral resources, elves might get bonuses to raising animals or producing timber, humans might be the best farmers, etc.

Effeciency losses do add up though. Also, I made some calculations once for orbital power plants, and they don't ever come out energy efficient. Not with current technology. You'd need hyperefficient pannels (60% or more), hyperlightweight pannels, and hyperefficient transmission. Remember that the transmission calls for 1km diameter recievers.
I'd be interested to see your math.

Quote from: Aseaheru on December 30, 2012, 06:03:55 pm
while you people bicker over power, have we finished bickering over food?
Hydroponics or somesuch. The MSI in Chicago has/had a neat little greenhouse thing of hydroponics which could provide a single astronaut with air and pretty much all of their dietary requirements, and it was maybe 10-15 feet long by a bit taller than me high.

No, but two things.
1. 100 launches use 100 times the fuel and 100 times the power of 1 launch. It's only if you're launching 100 times the mass that it gets exponential (because you need to lift the fuel).
Do I really need to spell out that you would use solar power, not chemical power?
How is that relevant at all?
Electricity still isn't free. Cheaper, maybe, but the panels need maintenance and electricity is useful for non-railgun things.

Wut. A space elebator is longer that I thought it should be o_O
That's, like, 1/3 of the distance to Luna by my estimate! Is it reaching to a Langrange point?
And is that car the size of Texas?
And it the cable as thick as Central America?

I thought he did that... the result would be organs made of muscle, which will still be organs.
Technically, a lot of organs are made of muscle. And epithelial tissue. Focus on the muscle, though.

SKULL isn't an item type. It's a body part. You can get it as an object from butchery, but custom reactions can't create any kind of body part. Sorry.
