Nice pic. I especially like the little floating debris.

Also, GWG, didn't you say you have all of the Second Wave options on? You might want to turn some of those off, especially Red Fog.

I assume that that's from EW? Which I don't have?
EDIT: I have never beaten the game. Ever. Not available.

Also:

Anyone want to back this guy up? I'm a bit wary about downloading stuff from the advice of one guy I don't even recognize.
A bit of an explanation of how it helps or the problem Steam causes wouldn't hurt.

No, they won't. They'll be a little confused, perhaps, but mostly amused.
They were only afraid when Legolas did it because he was backing up the insane, stupid moves with deadly accuracy. Also because he was in a movie where that worked.

I'm trying to help both sides find a reasonable conclusion that doesn't involve the permanent death or lobotomy of anyone's character.

Moreover, you're overlooking something. This is a game. If someone is taking actions that reduce or ruin the fun of others, and allegedly themselves, we should try to find other available alternatives. Permakilling Simus? That's pretty severe.

((I'm just gonna respond to this quote: did it occur to you that such excessive use of OOC chatter (not just from you, of course, but you've been staunchly refusing to stop and even goading UP back into the argument) "reduces or ruins" my fun? Probably the fun of others, too.
In fact it's probably the single worst thing about ER for me- the constant OOC discussion, even at the expense of IC interaction between characters.))

Then don't read it. We're even putting it into nice little OOC spoilers for you.
You can just choose not to read the OOC chatter. Pyro can't choose to not have her character be permakilled if Auron succeeds. UP can't choose to not have Auron lobotomized if Simus and Steve conclude that that's the only way to stop him from trying.

Whatever path Auron decides to take from here, is not something you should be arguing with Unholy_Pariah about, because the character and his player are functionally separate, and this is a role-playing game.

((As I asked UP, please read this.
This is a game, people need to have fun. If peoples' actions, like trying to permakill Simus, are going to make the game less fun, we should try and work around them, shouldn't we?))

((This is the entire problem, pyros actions have constantly prevented me from getting any enjoyment out of this game ever since Simus stepped out of that anomaly.

All i wanted was to build a robot and watch it rampage through the UWM landing parties, but no... instead ive gotta choose between several weeks of constant bickering or several weeks of wasted effort and a blood fued with another player.

The problem with that was, you were taking everyone's resources. If you wanted to just build a kludgebot with your own resources, no one would have given a damn. But you demanded the right to fritter away resources on the kludgebot.

Seing as everyone is really pissed about the constant OOC arguments (albiet understandably so) and the fact im frankly tired of it im not gonna be responding to any directed at me unless they are PMed.))

Suit yourself.

((Incidentally...))

Grate wanders over to Auron and Jim.
"What's going on?"

"Jim and myself are having a philosphical discussion over what constitutes a murder and why aggravated assault is more worthy of punishment as well as the ramifications such a justice system."

"..." Grate looks at Auron confused...ly? Is confusedly a word?
"Mister Jim, what's going on?"

((Disagreeing with your use of OOC. And people's OOC opinions should have as little influence as possible on their IC actions anyway.

((Well, several other people are also using OOC. Including UP, whose main tactic for getting the spiderbot as he wants it is the OOC threat that if he doesn't he'll try to kill Simus.
Moreover, you're overlooking something. This is a game. If someone is taking actions that reduce or ruin the fun of others, and allegedly themselves, we should try to find other available alternatives. Permakilling Simus? That's pretty severe.))

((GWG, no single character in the game will be able to "screw up" the game. Not as long as the GM wants to run it. Therefore, in-character responses are preferred to out-of-character arguments, no matter what consequences the former have for everyone else.

((The problem is that UP's arguments include a good out-of-character component. That, and it would be horribly out-of-character for Grate to suggest to Auron that he try ruining Simus's career rather than killing her.))

Whatever path Auron decides to take from here, is not something you should be arguing with Unholy_Pariah about, because the character and his player are functionally separate, and this is a role-playing game.

((As I asked UP, please read this.
This is a game, people need to have fun. If peoples' actions, like trying to permakill Simus, are going to make the game less fun, we should try and work around them, shouldn't we?))

Whatever motivations either of them have, no in-character action is going to "screw up" this game more than all this out-of-character back-and-forth verbal bar-brawling does.))

((I disagree. This debate has the potential to make the Auron-Simus conflict much, much more interesting--and enjoyable for the parties involved--than Auron just trying to kill Simus again.))

Mainly that I personally consider text to be an easier medium to post on forums.

That, and I really like the abbr tag. Especially for ASCII games.

Nope! I just forgot what I read.

...I don't know. Take a nap?

Never mind how old she looks, she is only a weak old.

Regardless, how old she looks is important in determining how much people will be weirded out by the flirting.
