But if it was a (singular) Gauntlet of Flaming Punches +2, that would be fine. Which I believe was his question. Well, aside from the specifics.

I'll try to catch up.

((Dammit, so many ninja...))

Sen tries to get the hybrid to not notice Will anymore. "So what about physical seals then? Say that a group of people trapped a demon inside of another person? Do you know how to break that seal?"
"Sen, this is important. Someone wants to kill me, he's trying to give someone else who wants to kill me a powerful body, and I want to see if the Hybrid can help."
Will conveniently forgets that the powerful body will not be given to the second person. Besides, Kyle wanting to kill him is plenty.

<Not something I could do. The drawback is, I have to convince a dear friend of mine to agree to it and ensure that she doesn't get screwed over.>
<Why is Luna such a friend to you? And do you not care about the other friends you have? Think of Richard, who she threatened to kill. And why do you want to be friends with someone who, when criticized, threatens to kill the critic's children and then starve the critic to death whilst surrounded by the corpses of said children? At what point are you willing to hurt Luna's feelings to protect everyone else?>

<I'm not saying your wrong. I'm just telling you to shut the fuck up and keep your bloody comments to yourself.>
<Well excuse me, I'm in a bit of a bad mood because a bunch of people were just trying to make an indestructible, barely-regulated shell for someone who had just said she wanted to kill me slowly and painfully. And surrounded by the decaying corpses of my nonexistent children.>
<I hope you realize Cyrielle was going to put a kill switch, regulated by her.>
<I do. I simply find a single kill switch to be horribly insufficient, especially when not carried by any of the potential victims, but instwad on an entirely different continent from both victim and potential killer.>

<I hope you all realize SSG just said this RP sounds like a sitcom.
:I>

((Sitcoms don't have nearly this high of stakes. Or this much magic.))

<Right, that reminds me, there's really only going to be four people with a kill switch. So that's even less than before.>
<Which I would complain about if I hadn't previously discovered that you care more about Luna's feelings than anything else in the whole wide world.>

Sen tries to get the hybrid to not notice Will anymore. "So what about physical seals then? Say that a group of people trapped a demon inside of another person? Do you know how to break that seal?"
"I was referring more to physical in the form of... restraints, like maybe a cage. But perhaps."
"HYBRID. What. Are. The. Limits. On. Your. Mind. Control. There. Is. Someone. Who. Wants. To. Fuh. King. Kill. Me."
Will smacks the cage with each word.

>Will, enough. You've proven your fucking point. You're right, we're wrong. You done being a dick about it? Kyle's fucked up because you were a dick about things. You had a legitimate point, but acting as callous as you did? Might as well been mind rape considering what you wanted to do to Luna.<
<I think I'm allowed to be a bit of a dick when lives are on the line...and when no one is listening to me...>

Dammit, Emp, is it so hard to hit "quote," select the stuff you aren't replying to, and hit "delete" or "backspace"? Half the time I don't know what you're talking about!

8749
<Actually, only the control unit. Assuming I can convince Silica to agree to it.>
<Alright. Good. About fucking time we stopped trying to give the psychopath way too much power...Any way we could have her not be able to hurt people? There was this one hero back home, Geas, who could mark people with a mark that would make them physically ill and weak for a while if they tried to hurt someone else. Would it be possible to do something similar in concept, if not execution because you seem to care far too much about the wannabe serial killer's feelings?>

<I'm not saying your wrong. I'm just telling you to shut the fuck up and keep your bloody comments to yourself.>
<Well excuse me, I'm in a bit of a bad mood because a bunch of people were just trying to make an indestructible, barely-regulated shell for someone who had just said she wanted to kill me slowly and painfully. And surrounded by the decaying corpses of my nonexistent children.>

Well, otherwise she's going to go nuts in Selina's mind which won't be pretty.
How so?

Quote
And now the plan has been changed to put her into a body that has 0 in every relevant stat.
About frikkin' time.

Black and white morality.
Oh you guys. You're making me chortle!
Hey, I'm not being black-and-white. I'm being perfectly pragmatically gray here.

Verbal abuse, extreme self loathing, and a final dose of very poor wording on Will's part.
You left out some "veries" on that last part. I'm severely annoyed at how I worded that. Past!GWG, why were you such an idiot?

I can has IRC? LIke, I don't even know what even is this crap anymore. :P
Neither do I
Ask specific questions and I'll give it a shot.

P.S. TV Tropes-based catharsis is remarkably ineffective.

<Kyle sliced his bracelet in half.>
<Idiot.>
<Shut the fuck up, Will.>
<Are you saying I'm wrong?>

<Will if the body has 0 in every relevant stat, is that okay? As in, literally 0 HP. Can someone please transport me back home, I may be able to get her into a body in the next five minutes.>
<If you figure out a way to explain that in non-meta terms, yeah. But good luck explaining the 0 HP thing. Especially when major parts of it are made out of distortions.>

"Hybrid, please answer my question. What kinds of limitations do you have on your power? Could you control, say, a human being? Specifically, one trying to kill me and also make a highly dangerous body for someone who wants to kill me?"

((I said conventional. That means, like, Handiwork or factories or something. Didn't pick up Handiwork? Too bad, you're not making stuff.))

((P.S. Sorry if I'm being blunt, I'm in a bad mood. Hence my request for knowledge of X-Com: Catharsis Mode.
Why not a shooter or something, you ask? Because I suck at those.))

(( Intentional, although in this I suspect it is actually true as well since a tomahawk will cause a much larger wound. ))
((On the other hand, bullets offer much deeper wounds, and also break through basically all the tissues in the body save a bone at the right angle, and then there's the hydrostatic pressure, which allows a bullet that hits your stomach, for instance, to damage basically all the organs in your body via shockwaves.))

Quote
"They are as nature intended them to be, you eat meat does that make you a monster? The animal doesn't offer to be killed to feed you it's held prisoner against it's will it's used to breed then it's children are murdered to feed you.
It's no different to the monsters, they kill to feed just as we do and I'm not hypocritical enough to say I'm superior to them so it's ok for me to kill for food but it's not for them.

"...They are called monsters. The creatures called monsters are called monsters, so I call them monsters."
(Gosh dangit this isn't helping my mood...)

(( I know, but considering we're not fighting humans I suspects bullets will be far less effective against monsters then humans. ))
((OR tomahawks will be far less effective against monsters than humans. These two events may happen with equal probability.))
((And considering that bullets are more effective on humans...))


((Besides, bullets hit with more force. This means that tough scales or stony hides or something that would make a tomahawk bounce right off would be punched right though by a bullet. Moreover, as noted, bullets bite deeper, which gives them a wider range of organs they can hurt; tomahawks basically can't get past the surface except in remarkably fragile creatures, but bullets can dig deep into and likely through the whole creature.))

((Why not just use conventional stuff?

Also, does X-Com have some kind of catharsis mode? I am in serious need to blow off some steam and suspect that continuing the current game wouldn't do so.))

"Oh."
Angel joins.

Well, nobody's decided to pester Alexander yet, another guy who could be trusted with it. Maria wasn't in the discussion. Richard was listening in but couldn't do anything.
Annie and Wheatley side with Cyrielle, and Hestia and Chiron are busy trying to figure out how to defuse Luna.
I've covered every character of mine who would reasonably be in the discussion.
Why do Annie and Wheatley side with Cyrielle? Why are they refusing to implement more redundant safety measures?
Heck, why is no one willing to implement the extra killswitches just to shut Will up?
Cyrielle DID create them and they trust her more. Meanwhile, everyone's now concerned with trying to stop people from dying.
I'd go on a rant about blind faith, but I'm fully aware that this and another (Facebook-based) debate have wound me up and I'm probably not rational in wanting to rant.
I'd blow off some steam with X-Com or something, but every mission it's swarms of mutons and berserkers so I'd end up losing soldiers/missions/both and that would make me feel worse.

Because Not!Selina won't agree and now Cyrielle is just trying to put it into a construct.
Wait, Cyrielle is acceding to the requests of the wannabe serial killer for her new body? That seems, pardon my language, fucked up to me. Why doesn't it set off warning bells that Luna the person who wants to kill several members of the group is refusing to let those members shut her off?

Kyle doesn't think Will is a proper human anymore compared to NS who he sympathizes with.
Keith is unaware and is also my back up for if Kyle dies horribly so he gets no drama for now.
HK-47 blindly follows Kyle as he is programmed to do so and have the same morality as Kyle.
The first is, pardon my language, fucked up big time. Seriously, Will is trying to help (saying he's trying to break her to fit what he wants her to be is a bit messed up, seeing as what he wants her to be is "not murderous"), and Not!Selina is a fragment of Selina's worst desires.
The second two are understandable and acceptable.

<Will, Kyle wants to kill you right now. I suggest that you pocket your bracelet so that he can't track you.>
<Thanks for the warning. I'll do so ASAP.>
[To: Stella] <Sweetie, Kyle is going to try and kill me. I definitely need the backup.>

Sen has begun looking for the rabbit thing she has been ignoring until now.
She sees Will talking to the Hybrid, if that's who you're referring to.
"Go away, Sen."

"What? How is he a threat to anyone?"

<Will, this body amounts to little more than a UAV, she can't send her magic through it, because it amounts to little more than wifi. As I've stated we could jut make the bones out of steel or something plus she would need motors or something, or she'll just have a giant voodoo doll. Hell, now that Kyle's trying to kill you, I saw we should switch to someone else, such as Alexander.>
<How the heck is that thing powered, then? And I vote we stop creating an overcomplicated body and just get Tabella or Selina or fucking anyone to make a normal body for Luna.>

8760
Except by bracelet. All he has to send is "She's trying to kill me".
Unless, of course, she does something crazy like attack when he doesn't have it with him. Or when he can't respond for some reason.

He's blunt to be true, but you guys listened to Darnos in TA and he was actively evil.
Thank you, Xantalos.
If you'll listen to a self-admitted amoral sadistic bastard when he's right, why won't you listen to a prick when he's right? Because, seriously, you have given NO REASONS WHATSOEVER not to implement those security measures.


And, seriously...
Will has asked this repeatedly IC, and I have asked it some OOC.
WHY DOES NO ONE WANT TO ADD THE SECURITY MEASURES?

Not "Why does no one listen to Will," "What reason is there to not give everyone killswitches and otherwise properly prepare for the possibility that the psychopath who has threatened to kill several members of the group, actually tries to kill someone?"
