Right answer, wrong question. How would you power a moving drill, or how would an immobile drill be more useful than a dwarf with a pickaxe?
Is your job destroying the universe? If so, not a chance in all nine hells.If we work together to destroy it, we will have rendered the universe wrong. Also: Misko, you aren't the boss I was referring to. There are many.Just kill the lichette, would you, and let me do my job, for f*ck's sake? (IC)
So? The universe will still take your empire with it if destroyed.Well this is the game ender, so we might not be able to ressurrect if he kills us, or he could just kill us all in one attack. Please Misko, if I can bring your wife back will you let go of your grudge? The only thing you will achieve if you keep attacking him is what Xantalos wants!Well, I still want my empure to rule the Universe forever. So theres that. It take a while, but I;m immortal, so. Under my leadership, we've already started consolidation of the Milky Way.
Hey Misko. Dirg's creating an exact copy of your wife; this is not the same woman, and the act is thus morally wrong and defiles your beloved's memory. What are you going to do about it?Hey Xantalos. Time's creating an exact copy of you; this is not the same abomination, and thus it is morally wrong to keep doing someone else's goals. When those goals are destroying the universe, at least.
Very wise. His logic is horribly flawed....Hey Misko. Dirg's creating an exact copy of your wife; this is not the same woman, and the act is thus morally wrong and defiles your beloved's memory. What are you going to do about it?Remember, Misko? The only reason you turned to such extreme measures was because the lichette killed your wife and half of reality and Dirg is now pissing on her memory.
Misko is steadily ignoring the conversation.
IS COPYWRONG.
IS FAKE
TECHNICALLY IF YOU DO THIS YOU HAVE TO KILL THE LICHETTE AND LET ME CREATE A HER WITHOUT POWERS
DIRG
It does if she was, instead, wiped from reality. Same with misko's memories. You know what this means? She can still be saved, if misko does something other than moping and futiley trying to avenge her!The plans ... eeh. Dirg's logic particularly irks me.IS COPY

Wake up and read. They're discussing the real one now.In short, your son existed after your wife was wiped from reality/killed by lich, therefor either you have another wife, she still exists in the future before she was killed, or he's adopted. What I was proposing was a Chrono Trigger like thing where we swap her out with a dummy, or just leave the spot empty and bring her back to safety.This bit makes no sense. At all. Just because the mom is dead does not mean the son cannot live on.
Option III: Don't piss him off! He said he may need to kill us all, which means we still have a chance!So you wanna do a little time travel and save your actual wife or not?The point is moot. Do YOU want to help battle the Brown men, or are we all going to die? Not like you were going to change the outcome, but still.
If you'll just let me destroy the universe I'll help you.I'll manage without your help. I'm guessing you're part of why he's prepared to destroy a whole sector of space.
If you want to be a halfway decent emperor, there are many dull solutions which work quite well that you'll need to do. Often.Not all bosses are defeated just through combat. Some you just have to sheathe your weapon and walk away.BUT THAT IS LAME!
What's wrong with you?!?! How can you rule a destroyed universe?Just to clarify, will any of you assist me in destroying the universe so I can help you against the man IN brown?*raises hand*
I'm interested in how he wrote it. It's like a Missingno of text!I genuinely have no clue what is being written here.No, Xan. You can't destroy the universe. Misko's empire is there.-dafuq-
You failed...not on a 6, but a 6+2. 6+3 ain't gonna be better...So we can waste actions doing something that didn't succeed on a six... Or we can just write Xan off as dead and fight the MIBOr you could help me and then I could assist you.
But we would have all been destroyed... and if you don't attack him, I think I can convince him to not destroy us. Or at least to give us a chance to reform.You do realize I nearly saved us, right? If the goddamn lichette hadn't interupted me, the universe would've been destroyed and the MIB, who was SENT BY THE UNIVERSE, would have been destroyed. Thanks, lichette, it's not like any of us are on a schedule or anything.So we can waste actions doing something that didn't succeed on a six... Or we can just write Xan off as dead and fight the MIBCassandra knows what she's talking about.
Fixed it for you--Xantalos isn't the quiet type.Fixed that for you.That has about as much logic as shooting yourself in the head because someone drew a knife from across the room.I'm going to sit and blow hot air until the universe is destroyed, flailing uselessly.
It destroys every good thing, every success, and misko's empire. Even your own successes. Even the success of destroying a universe.But why is destroying everything ever bad? Explain to me this and stop with the ad homenim; you're starting to reek.Fixed that for you.That has about as much logic as shooting yourself in the head because someone drew a knife from across the room.I'm going to sit and hold my breath until the universe is destroyed, flailing uselessly.
It's not ad hominem if we're arguing based on your stated motives!WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS GOING ON HERE~Excessive ad homenim by everyone on me for no reason, derp, Misko got possessed by an SCP, and Dirg almost committed a moral crime that even HE finds repulsive. Want to help me destroy the universe so I can do other things?
I am tempted to kill Misko.Go ahead. He obviously missed your resignation form.
You can catch your own bears...My fort is 25 years old. My grizzly bear poplation still hasn't reached it's full size, since I bought the first couple in year 4, but I've got about 50 war grizzlies penned in strategic locations already. They do indeed take longer to grow up, but they also have a longer lifespan than dogs.Is this in the current version? I've checked upwards of 80 Dwarven Civs in over 10 worlds and they never NEVER have any non basic animals any more. The amount and variety of animals in caravans has been worse too...
You won El Elecciōn Presidenteāl, though. They'd have banished you earlier, but can't now of you use your Podrėas Presidenteāles!Corai must die. Greatwyrm is invited to kill him. I will do so. He will be banished.I was already banished I think.
MISTAKEN pedophile.*pedophile*Corai must die. Greatwyrm is invited to kill him. I will do so. He will be banished.I was already banished I think.
I'm a leader and you're rude to me.Hey, hey, hey, I am not rude when speaking to another leader. You guys are my inferiors. You do not deserve politeness.She is RUDE. I mean seriously. No manners....Says the pot to the kettle...
Apologize for distraction this turn, but still keep a module recording conversation and reply when asked questions.
Have Corai test an Aperture Thaummatology Amulet of Planeshifting. It's an amulet that transports people across the planes of existence.
Happy, misko?
No. If I were happy he'd be te control test for flame-proof clothes.
She is RUDE. I mean seriously. No manners....Says the pot to the kettle...
Why is that a problem?Seriously, though, just lock up and flood the surface with magma, let it drain, and send out dwarves to fight the zombies. Once the necromancer's dead they come down easily.If you can flood the surface with magma then you honestly don't have to worry about much in the first place.Why does everyone suggest adding magma to the zombies? All it does is turn them into flaming zombies, and not the kind that throw pride parades either.
You know, doomsday weapon and all that...
WHAT IS WINNING ANYWAYLife! Life for everyone, Xantalos. What higher goal is there? Without life, there is no light, no joy, no warmth, but it also renders even death, darkness, despair, and chilliness hollow and meaningless. If you destroy the universe and kill its inhabitants, you make all of that--everything done right and wrong, every monument and empire...less than nothing. Including your own success.
Meh. I feel that if Corai is willing to face the consequences, he can take action as he sees fits. The Moderates are pro- state and individual rights.No, i'm worming into your mind. Telling you things that make sense, but cannot trust because I am your foe. Making you think I am a foe to all, but ally to all.I don't care what you are saying, I'm tryying to see how it is relevant to the power-playing, and whether perhaps I can use it to prove to GWG your unloyalty.
In other words, i'm trying to screw with ya.
If you succeed, I will be happy, for in order for an empire to claim peace, it must be governed well and wisely, kindly and fairly.WHAT IS WINNING ANYWAYKILLING THE LICHETTE. BEING ALLOWED TO RULE MY EMPIRE IN PEACE.
Says the guy who destroyed himself...GWG: Exist! (1+2 vs 6+3)
MISKO KILLS YOU AND RAISES YOU AS A REDNECK ZOMBIE.
