Forum Guidelines
Remove me from the current game, please. I forgot which thread I was in and clicked a spoiler.How important could that be?
It was just Toaster's dialogue, but still. Oops.
Maybe if there were a subforum that was designed for games that span multiple threads?That might work, yeah. I mean, it's not like even ER would take up more than about half a dozen threads at most.
I mean, ER is clearly the biggest of those, but there are a few others that do so, as well.
((I don't get it.))Begin combat by bitchslapping the fuck out of the robot."It's not a robot, it's power armor!"
Sorry, the joke had to be made.
Pre drop or post drop?Pre-drop.
((Good to know.((Is the mass manipulator the telekinetic one or the transmutation one?))((The telekinetic one. Though it can do a decent job of transmuting a human body into a pile of goo.))
((Yeah, I know. But you have to think about the... Hmm... I don't know what the right word is.((Actually, mechanical "animals" are easier to build and maintain if you have access to a good industrial base.
Anyway, I need a fleshy horse because a cowboy-lone ranger guy should have a horse that is also his best friend, like Lucky Luke and Jolly Jumper or Bravestarr and Thirty Thirty. And it's harder to get friendly with a robotic animal. Fleshy animals are easier to understand and manage. Not to mention build and maintain. The horse should be like a dog.
((Sure they do! Just not well.))can sharkmist be used to make self repairing equipment?((NANOBOTS DON'T WORK THAT WAY.
((Gotta love how she gets an intro while I just roll on board unnoticed.))((Some people get onboard at times that folks aren't busy cleaning up after a living manipulator meltdown *whistles innocently*))
ER is a big game. It's spread across 3 threads, two of which are the first and second largest on the forum.No, the SUBforum. The RotMG thread, for instance, is around twice the size of the ER threads.
If it is as big as people say it is, then I am all for it.It is. Look at 'em--two threads past 1,000 pages at default pagecount each, plus another with hundreds of pages.
Indeed. (Although I don't know why "Move around" counts as "Nothing." especially for bastards like the cryssalids.)Don't feel bad, you just haven't been educated in the art of the Beagle.I still don't understand why you'd want to play on normal. It'd be too easy.You're making me feel bad.
Sure, it's EU (Though haven't you said you only have EU?), the only thing that doesn't really work in EW is the conga-line, since aliens can overwatch upon discovery opposed to doing nothing.
Super heavy? Infantry vehicle? I unno. That doesn't make much sense. But eh! c:It's heavily armored, meant to take the place of an infantry, microvehicular in nature, and "super" makes it sound cooler.
The acronym is also a.... what's the word for an acronym with a dual meaning?A backronym is an "acronym" where the words were chosen to fit the acronym.
Also, thought of running the XCOM project along the lines of the Deathwatch, since the setups seem quite similar (small force insertions, combined tactics from different armies united under one banner, revolutionary weapons that everyone wants later). Thoughts?Wrex is running a game which uses the Only War rules, but they're basically the same.
We were talking about opening doors, though.I'm pretty sure Sectopods can go through doors. Every unit counts as one tile and thus can walk through doors.While regular soldiers burst through doors SWAT style, I think the way MEC's go through door would be better described as "Kool-Aid Man style".SHIVs can't take cover, which is necessary to operate the node as well as some other things.
This is fixed in Enemy Within. SHIVs and MECs can retrieve meld and disable power nodes or bombs. Neither can open doors though. Gotta burst through doors SWAT team style.
Kyle looks at Will."Third floor hallway, two doors to the left from the stairway. Very nearly right above the second floor's grandfather clock."
"When did we get a cuckoo clock?"
Hainuwele leaves Kyles foot impaled and gets the fuck away from him. Too big the risk. Remember the part where fingerlings have up to 8 children per birth. Two fertility-superlatives must not meet.Will retrieves the needle.
Hainuwele impales Kyles foot, pinning him to the ground."Hai, if you dare ad another person to your body count in this household, you won't live to see your people freed from their self-imposed exile. Or to see the cuckoo clock go off again."
"Neferis do someting! If he touches me, bad things will happen! Then he won't be able to play with you anymore!"
