That's still a solid third of the characters, and a majority of those who really weighed in.

The last doorway Erden had entered led to the Women's Locker Room, where screaming Amazonian women chased him out brandishing towels and lacrosse sticks with unbridled fury. His head still smarted from the blatant whipping they gave him.
He kinda deserved that, you know. Doors like that are labeled.

I smell ships forming.

LET IT BEGIN
...
Are they? This quickly? We've barely met each other!
I can see AoixNoam, CharlottexNoam, and CalvinxImaginary Friend. ErdanxAoi simply because of conflicting powers. AndrejxNoam just because.
His imaginary friend is basically a reflection of himself. And also doesn't quite exist.
And I'm kinda sad that everyone else gets shipped with real people but my character's only shipped with his own superpower.

Calvin leaves, changes into a swimsuit, and returns.
Noam blinks slowly, "Does this mean you're going swimming?"
"Duh."

And so he does.

Mowat's ideas are avowedly speculative and often stretch the evidence farther than might be permissible [ie: makes generalizations or takes conclusions too far, at best]. In addition, his book incorporates passages of overt fiction, in which Mowat describes the lifestyles of the Albans in novelistic detail. Because of this, scholarly reaction has been muted and dismissive.
Convincing.
Still, you did say "theorized"...but I've gotta agree, leather boats probably ain't the best to go on long sea voyages in.

Allright, lets cut some wood near the mine. But lets use that mostly at the mine.
Well, duh.

The letter reads as follows:
'Stay away from my stuff and don't touch my garage. Also you're not going to be invited to my sweet new castle.'
And that's all.
"That's rude."

Keith follows. <Guys, HK-47 is stealing Japanese manga focusing on gay men.>
<Either Kyle is a really weird programmer or HK is...well, we might want to keep an eye on him so it doesn't go Cloudn--Skynet, my bad. It's called Cloudnet in my world's Terminator movies.>

Will sits down somewhere and opens the letter that hit him on the head.
<HK is a strong AI not a Hollywood AI.>
<The distinction breaks down if the AI starts to develop a taste for yaoi.>

BTW anyone thought of using the princess a couple years after the King has died to start a rebellion?
I can guarantee you that none of the characters and few of te players are thinking that far ahead. As shown by the number who want to sell the princess into slavery.

The "Are you not listening" could, IIRC, have applied equally well to Will's statements, which covered much of the same ground.
And yeah. It's the worst system except for every other one that exists. After all, any other system often requires that characters ignore major events happening right in front of them, which is hardly ideal. You're complaining that "In this situation, Hai would have done 2'"; in this situation, Will would have said Omega. Same argument.

"Hm... I know! Yous take empty pwot over fence!" Meme is talking about the massive plot of empty land past the fence of Maria's yard. Its like the houses just surrounded the area but its all fenced around, though there are small holes between the planks that the fingerlings could easily walk into.
Wait what? I thought Maria lived in some kind of residential neighborhood.

((googling patty cake gives me a bunch of porn, sooo...what?))
Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man [?].
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Pour it, and something, and [something with rolling?],
Then put it in the oven for baby and me.

I didn't even play that as a kid and I know the rhyme. Where are you from, anyways?

((Only Dex is needed for making things. Mind is for blueprints.))
((Which results in the realization that cooking requires more rolls than assembly line creation.))
Presumably at a higher DC.

Now that legal land aquiring is on the way, Hainuwele is bored, and teleports to wherever Kyle ran to((unless you can only bracelet-teleport to other bracelets?))
You cannot do that, for the reasons you mentioned. Even if you could teleport to things other than bracelets...how would you know where Kyle is?

"Will, do you know of any suitable properties within a 2 mile radius that are for sale? Also, could you go to my room and grab the red bag with the pink flowers on it?" Sen smiles at Will.
"Because urban Australia is truly the most fertile land one could hope for..."
Will does, indeed, fetch the bag.

"I..am not quite sure how that situation would be ease-able. I mean, did you really *have* to introduce yourself that way? I believe all we can do is keep the part that you are protecting them secret. Let none of them see you, and they will eventually just accept the land as neutral, rather than *bought from a demon*"
"Less 'bought from a demon' than 'a demon convinced us to let the original owner keep controlling it because we aren't horrible people'."

"I have learned from experience that living on your holy lands is not the best idea. People become complacent and take the lands for granted."
"It's been working pretty well for Israel, hasn't it?"

<Wait..what? You guys are millionairs? Why do you still live here as a guest then? You should like, built a huge magical girl HQ. With pool and...whatever else you need to fight crime...The pool is obviously very useful for fighting crime, yes.>
<A million doesn't go as far as it used to. Especially if we want halfway-decent real estate. Although...this does give me an excuse to try out the stock market...>

Kyle's bracelet, wherever it is, breaks. The distortion components in it deconsolidate and rend it apart. If he isn't going to be wearing it, then may as well ensure that no one unauthorized can use it.
Some arguably-lucky magic hobo gets a sad expression. And possibly an injured wrist.

<If we get him his playboy suit, I am sure he will come back. Heck, we could have our own tropical island-room to go with it.>
*Response Requested*
<Not terribly efficient for fighting crime, we'd need some teleportation circles of some kind...doable, Yuri?>

<My point exactly. She could try purchasing some investment properties and leasing them out to gain an income.>
<Or lend me some money and I'll make a fortune on the stock market. I've already increased my net worth by several dollars.>

"Come on, investment is boring, eccentric magical girl manors are fun, just do what you *really* want. I remember when you had confidence."
<No offense, Selina, but...she used to be confident?>

Will should notice a servo-skull hovering above the yard. It seems to be looking at him.
Will notes this but sees no reason to care at the moment.

Keith follows. <Guys, HK-47 is stealing Japanese manga focusing on gay men.>
<Either Kyle is a really weird programmer or HK is...well, we might want to keep an eye on him so it doesn't go Cloudn--Skynet, my bad. It's called Cloudnet in my world's Terminator movies.>

I vote for 3-8, 11, and 13-14.
Also for improving outlying houses.

It is theorized by some people that people in leather boats went to Iceland, Greenland and even north america before the vikings...)
Citation or it didn't happen.

Ebbor, there really isint much wood near the mining camp...
Actually, there is. There is a patch of trees not 20 miles from the mining camp--which is a heck of a lot closer than any wood is to our main settlement.

On a side note, why are you guys buildings roads when we haven't yet invented the wheel? It's not very useful, and costs a significant amount of labor.
Also, bridges are a significantly larger investment, require large amounts of labor and construction knowledge, and will likely be swept away when the river undergoes it's yearly floods. Besides, they are even more technologically advanced, so I really doubt we can do that. Honestly, we probably haven't even invented the arch.
Depends on the type. Dirt roads and stepping stone "bridges" are well within easy reach.

Watchtowers are pretty useless, and make no sense from our current perspective.
Verily.

Not as useful as sarcasm detection.

Can we even move threads around between sub-boards?
Yes. Heck, the normal users can (with their own threads).

On an unrelated note, I'll join ER as soon as I read the whole main mission thread, no sooner.
You fool.

((My action was rather clear. It's just that the actions I was trying to help were...not.
Also, I rolled higher, which helps justify my mental image that Angel was just loudly agreeing with whatever the others were saying.))

Oh.

My bad.
