Other Games / Re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown (New by Firaxis)

MEC troopers are kinda weird.
It's like, "hey, let's take off this person's arms and legs and take away their ability to use cover in exhange for some other stuff that's cool"
Note that I haven't played Enemy Within so I don't know he bonuses but to me it's like 'why in the fuck would they give up COVER'
Like all units that can't take cover, they get a defense bonus as if they were in cover, automatically.
And they also have prosthetics for when out of combat.

Also, you can upgrade your troopers to turn the suits into full cover for your squishies unenhanced soldiers.
If you want them to be grenade magnets.

6407
well, physical damage being halved is good for a tank, but yeah, magic will shred him.
That's why buffs exist. Also, the half damage is from Kyle having a Persona, correct?
More from what his Persona is...I think...

Miss Feyri didn't know?
Obviously not.
It should be clear!
Shut up.
Well, she knows now.
But she didn't! That was the question.
This is getting annoying.
what is this o.O
((Grate's head is filled with the past Grates. Side effect I added so he wouldn't have to keep asking what happened every time he dies and comes back.))

Quote from: Feyri Nirel; Re: Coming Back?!
But...I heard you played will pills. Last thing I heard was that you got squished under a rock and-did that really happen? Because I'm really going to get mad at Stacy about that. And when I say pills (I can't find the delete option ok?) I mean that didn't you have something that dispensed those...things?

And and. Wait, Infirmary? Thanks!
Quote from: Grate -> Ms. Feyri
Dear Miss Feyri,
Oh, that. I'm not sure what happened. I think Miss Am did something about that.
Love,
Grate.

((How did Grate reconstitute? Did he teleport or did he accidentally warp in his counterpart from a separate dimension? If the latter, thank god you got him from a safe universe.))
((Hell if I know.))

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)
((GWG's roleplaying Grate as having multiple personalities, one for each time he dies. It's tempting to try to kill him many many times in order to harass him with this.))
((Most of the Grates are the same.
So far, I have Grate 1 (Mediator, Died from Rocks), whose text is underlined; Grate 2 (Died from Gauss Rifle); Grate 3 (Arrogant, Power-Hungry, Died from AM Shenanigans), whose text is bolded; Grate 4 (Died from Reactor Fan); and Grate 5 (Alive). Notice how almost none of them have personality traits added.))

Roll To Dodge / Re: Roll to Negotiate: A Diplomatic Adventure
« on: February 03, 2014, 09:16:37 am »
Arggh GWG, assume it could happen, no one here is writing non-fiction. If you really can't accept it. This is on a planet 'Earth' far far away, that happened to have all the same develop as our planet, and the physics work slightly different.
It seemed like he was trying to create a pretty realistic game. I thought there were only a couple of mistakes, then as I kept reading I kept adding more...

"I'd respond to that, but I'm trying to stop talking to voices in my head."

Against my better judgement, look for the ring.

Also, how in Shis'm Caes's name does Kyle have 725 HP?
...
*checks stats*

Endurance 9 or 14, Strength 19 or 22.
Let's go with the higher guesses and assume that that's what it is with the leveling up and stuff.
14*5=70
22*2=44
70+44=114
114*3=342
I have no idea.

Momo also...bes adorable, but he's more confused than scared. Again, he seems happy.

Usually you keep your peaceful position. Especially when then enemy has a nike while you have a water pistol.
I think the water pistol would win. With a Nike, you've got one shot, and it's not terribly accurate. Or long-ranged.

If the enemy is already pushing the red button then all you can do is hide.
No, no, you stand next to them. Take them with you.

Kyle is now officially, the dumbest person in this RP. OFFICIAL.
It wasn't official when Nuriel started calling him out on his dumbness?
"Hey!"

No one bothered to try and reason.
Yes, they did. The guys who told you to stop attacking?

Quote
There's no reason for Kyle to want to save any of Yuri's family given what they've done to her.
True, but this is more than Yuri. This is the world!

Quote
The angel is just doing what it was told to do and not actively bad.
When a beehive gets attacked by a bear, do they worry about if the bear is being "bad" by doing so? No, they attack it. Now imagine that the bear is a bearthulhu who will not only smash their current beehive, but also all other beehives in the forest, and by the way the forest is turning into a barren wasteland and everything in it is going to die.

Quote
He was threatned by the person earlier in time and meant harm to people.
True, but not putting this aside given the exceptional circumstances is precisely why we are calling him stupid.

So yeah, just as a note, if this ends up requireing emergency evac (possible, I have contingencies in place, but yeah) it's Kyle's fault. He could within reason be tying up Seles completely and running Tank while everyone else wails on her and shit, and that would probably help immensely since he's the only team tank right now IIRC.
I dunno, Bismuth, Spooky, and maybe Neferis are kinda tanky. And do we really have no summo...right, Elf's characters have all the summons.

on a related note.
Hey Akroma. I think I fixed your complaints about things not being hard enough in combat :P
There's a middle ground between "Cakewalk" and "Every Mook is a Bossfight," you know.

-snip-
Let's hear it from Elf. That makes Dex sound pretty darn broken.

If yomiko can use it, she has a mag 10 and mind 50
Why is she smarter than Will?

I've PMd Elf a lot to learn how the stuff works once I get to my plot, and he told me that for damage, roll a d6, multiply with 5.

Thats...rather low, compared to the average health things have in this game.

1d20+strength/mag seems reasonable to me, it should speed combat up.
Indeed. But again, let's hear it from Elf.

Time to send those angels to hell.
I approve of this idea, even if it's not what you meant.

"...Stop scaring our creationist!"
Our...
We need to find a different word for Selina's magic. See, I tend to associate "Creationist" with some form of "idiot".
Don't get offended I'm talking about the idiots who literally believe the first chapter or so of Genesis and try to find scientific evidence to shut up shut up...

N'thara is comforting Lyle.
We'll, she's trying to, at least.
"You will calm down! Or else!"
...That idea was a lot better in my head.

"Angel's are shit, Will. Everybody knows that. These two are probably no different. Except maybe the fallen minx over there. She at least know what fun is." Sen sighs again and tilts her head.
Will sighs and facepalms.

“Binding power would not reduce power level or amplitude, only constrain usability. This being has a markedly reduced energy density than the Creator should, even so constrained.”
*Important Stuff*
"I'm just guessing here, but could that have something to do with the fact that this is basically a remote-controlled body?"

Quote

Selina comes downstairs at a bit of a run, only to trip and faceplant (4) Right in front of the creepy cat person due to the sudden unsettling appearence.
“... Thisn’s a cute’n, mon. Can I keep’er?”
"Shys'm Caes has dibs on her."

“This being is not Shis’m Caes. Further information is needed. This being is likely a fragment. Other sources of similar energy existing throughout this world. Information will be relayed to the Host requesting reinforcements to appropriate these fragments.”
In short, congratulations, heaven is going to invade earth. This is going to suck.

"Would I be correct in guessing that these reinforcements would have an impressive chance of screwing the world up? And would it be considered rude to point out that saving Creation by destroying part of it is...counterproductive?"
<Shys'm Caes, what do you know of this?>
<Yuri, get down here just in case.>

Meme is hiding in Momo's crib with him.
Momo is confused but seems happy enough.

Quote
Luna comes downstairs with a bored expression on her face.
"Is Jaque back yet? And who are these weirdo's?"
"Extremely powerful angels."

“....This is a matter that requires thought, not action. Shut up, Dumah.”
"Something I agree with wholeheartedly. They managed to bind..." Will realizes that it's in their benefit if these angels are bound. Or defeated, whatever.

Quote
“... Oh, are we going to kill the mortals now? Good, I’ve been waiting.” Her eyepatch glows with a golden sigil, a ring surrounded by six wings. Though dimmed in power, it is obviously the sigil of one of the highest of Angels, Asariel, The Bound one, fallen Seraph.
*Criticism Below*
"This is taking a turn for the uncontrollable that I really dislike."

Marie is very scared oh god oh god what the hell oh god! The sirens start blaring VERY LOUDLY, as a !!CAUTION!! magic circle appears around her feet.
*Significant Action Below*
Will takes one look at it and teleports to Richard.
"Sorry. Things were getting dangerous at the house, and you're the only person with a bracelet who should be far enough away."

... Know what, fuck it, STRIFE RULES.

Everyone that's actually fighting, give me your DEX.
If it still matters, Nuriel is at 10.

"This would be much more convient if I could just kill that painty bastard."
"Kyle, you're adorable, but you're also as dumb as a sack of hammers. Stop shooting him."

The remaining Grandiose stops levitating and approaches Kyle, "You dare call a being as old as the gods STUPID? You insolent brat. It's no wonder you are the punching bag of your group. Always attacking people or trying to seduce them. How pathetic. You call me stupid? How arrogant of a child not even barely out of his mothers womb. I should strike you down here and now. You are worth nothing as art, and should be considered Trash!" Grandiose lets lose on Kyle with insults.
"...It's weird, for a second it felt like someone was agreeing with me. Then it's like they screwed up."

Nuriel blasts the angels with waves of flame.
Using my "as-needed" control of Stella, she goes full dragon and does the same.
The above occur retroactively if allowed.

Al's reaction is certainly rather odd. Perhaps he encountered Cain at some point?
CAIN IS A VAMPIRE. I know this is true, because cain is like canine, and Al is a vampire, and Al is scared of Cain. Logic.
Also, the actual plan was to throw one burro bit and sell the rest, and there were also shopkeeper shenanigans.
no, you're wrong on the internet
if you count up the number of votes for chopping the burro bits, and the number of votes for throwing things on the trap, i'm pretty sure that equates to throwing the burro bits on the trap
here's some handy illustrations in case you don't yet understand:


...?

Also, I wish I was a cyborg. Not having to eat, srink, or (hopefully) sleep would be so convenient...

Hover spell as many over as you can.
Why not, +1

((Alright, alright. Just be careful. I'd rather not bury a spear in Xantalos' face and have to slaughter my way out of the city. Which I could totally do, by-the-by. Turning on RAGE Mode and taking to the rooftops would probably get me out of any trouble.))
((Remember when I pinned your face to a tree with my mind?
Good times.))
((So... you'd side against your friends in a fight?))
((Depends, is the only other option being a criminal on the run from society?))

((Really sorry, but I'm doing my best to rp a kid who has had the only adults in his life beat the everloving shit out of him for years. Full on loss of trust for adults is - I believe - a possible outcome of that.))
((I'm guessing that any abused kids reading this would be a bit insulted that you're implying that the natural result of abuse is trying to kill adults who move towards your friends while sleeping...))

((I can blame him for assaulting Dran with no (to Dran's POV) reason. Otherwise no.
Though Derry's only one possibility for a heavily abused kid, and not a really likely one. Just an observation.))
((Yeah, but he's the only possible outcome for a heavily abused kid that I thought I could RP properly.))
((Fair enough.))

6419
"Yo angels, What are you planning on doing when your God gets here? I doubt you'll just leave peacefully. Angels never do." Sen scoffs in their direction.
"Yes, taunt the extremely powerful angels who currently think we're a bunch of God-hiding liars...>

((See y'all tomorrow.))
