Play With Your Buddies / Re: (KSP LP) Bay12 Space Program: Fail

Do you own a joystick? Perhaps some plane making?
No joystick, no wings.

Given GWGs designs, I recommend getting struts posthaste, as he seems to like strapping things together that should not be strapped together.

Thus the explosions.
The explosions have mostly been happening in three situations:
1. Separating stages crashing into each other (not something struts are going to help).
2. Crashing (if struts help these tell me).
3. No goddamn reason at all ("Walking away from mystery goo: IT EXPLODES").

Yeah. Problem is, I already have more than should be fitting. And last time I added more intakes, it was too heavy to fly.

Definitely going to be the first thing I do when I get back to that, though.

There's really no point in pretending you're being objective when you're actually not.
I saw less "pretending" and more "trying".
Although that does require a bit of sentence rearrangement.

There is no way that would be a record. Entire worlds have been destroyed in RtD games. Entire worlds have been destroyed in RtD games that were never supposed to leave the room they started in.

If it was 97 PC deaths, maybe, but I only have six of them.

in a sense yeah GWG, thats the problem. Remember that ICARUS is a prototype being tested. By the end of the testing time, should she not prove the most effective version, her mind and memory will simply be reset. But currently the one in charge of her testing is only spending his time building other, more interesting weapons, which only makes it less and less likely that ICARUS can prove useful. A very frustrating situation
Indeed. Of course, a sentient weapons platform, emotional or no, is frankly a stupid idea to begin with.

Kansa, maybe if you can give us an idea of what and who your character is, we can make suggestions. else, just wing it

"....uh...I'm bad with this sort of stuff.....sorry."
"Mm..." Angel sounds a bit upset.
"Uh....."
Alistair is still unsure.
As is Angel.

"Correction: He was just wasting his time. By giving him a strict reminder of how pointless building anymore weapons was, I have helped him. Checkers?"
"Look, just because you're new doesn't mean you're superior to all that stuff in every way, or in any way. Give Kyle a cave and a box of scraps, and I'm willing to be he could make an anti-ICARUS weapon that would put you down faster than you could...well you don't blink, but you get my point. Regardless, you have no duty to be destroying Kyle's stuff because you don't like it."

"Nonsense."
"Given that you referred to them as competition and not obsolete, it sounds like it's very good sense."

ICARUS grabs Bethany by the shoulder, in a vice like grip.

"Don't hold me by your standards. The reason is that Kyle was given the responsibility to see to my optimization. In a few months time, I will be evaluated on wether or not the changes made to me are beneficial. All changes made to me are in my mind, meaning if I am not chosen as the optimal path for development of the final product, I will be discontinued, deleted, my entire existance will be as if it never happened. However the man responsible happens to be a lazy useless scumbag who wastes away his days tinkering little knick-knacks and practising polygamy."

"One: The changes have been done. Two: I'm pretty sure Kyle's willing to pull strings so you don't get dismantled and instead get to stay here. Three: Destroying his stuff is not a good way to make him want to help you in any way. Four: 'Polygamy' is used to refer to multiple relationships, not multiple projects."

4792
That was a completely suboptimal turn. I mean, we could have damaged the Thunderbird,  crippled the Emperor's fire, and be in a much better position than we are now. ((I mean, I didn't expect our captain to play only a single card.))
I don't think everyone realizes that we can play multiple cards.

((A "katana", in general, like any other word for "sword" simply defines the shape of the weapon. It's entirely possible to have a cheaply forged iron katana, but it wouldn't work well or last long. Traditional, "high-quality" katanas are made of layers of different steels, and its curve is the result of differential hardening rather than merely shaping the blade.))
((I'm aware that, in modern times, cheap "katana" are pretty crappy. I was intending to refer to the traditional ones.))

As usual, PW answers it best.
Urge to correct facts of a joke...rising...

Uhhh.... here I think. Just cause it's a trade with a gift item, and so we don't mess with whatever monstrosity of a post PW is coming up with today.
It's coming today?

Right, I'm pretty much done with preliminary choosing (I've never been in the position to choose 5 sheets out of 16 - it's just as fun and simple as I suspected it to be)
I've been there. Although I got to pick six out of fifteen, so not quite as bad.
And something tells me you didn't create a detailed rubric to numerically narrow the playing field (slightly).

so here's a quick mention of how waitlisting will happen - the current players (the ones who aren't out) will nominate waitlisters, and then I'll put who gets in to a vote among them. It seems like an interesting system to me, so that's what I'll go with.
...Huh?

Also, who's in?
Player list!
This isn't helpful.

Heh. Yeah, planning RtDs doesn't end well when magic and overshoots come into play. See my game, Thawed. It was supposed to be a game about a sort of fantasy special forces unit, but one of the characters accidentally turned the whole base to crystal and everyone else got lost chasing her. Let's see how many casualties there are before we get through basic training.

4796
I think her power should be enough to discourage Kyle from romancing her though.
Even if it's super-AIDS, it probably wouldn't. Good luck though.

How about a continuous effect that mutilates anyone who attempts to flirt with her?
Pretty narrow-purpose. And I doubt it would work.

In for a penny in for a pound. Fair enough.

((There are low-quality katana? I always thought they were all made with the best swordsmithing techniques available*, because otherwise the smith wouldn't make a katana.
*Which, admittedly, were pretty poor. But hey, better than a cheap wakizashi.))

To be fair though, you just used a different fuel in the thermite (instead of the regular iron, which I think Pan's mix uses?) and really, the only way to know if any of the fuel mixes we try would actually work would be to test them, which obviously isn't happening (sadly).
piecewise pretty heavily implied that they would work if I had a way of dispersing them.

By the way, for that dicyanoacetylene idea: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=21743   might give some inspiration in that direction.
Indeed?

Don't ask me how he does it, but there's something about him and his bat that makes me shiver. Maybe the bat is made out of metamaterials...
Probably.
