Schizo-punk. You've got the steam-powered death machines and high technology.

I played around with Overgrowth today. There's a small amount of lag on my system that's probably contributing a lot to my suckiness. I still can't figure out how to reliably kill someone in hand to hand combat, but chopping people up with knives is plenty of fun.

Also, anyone with the alpha should get the SUMLauncher. It'll let you update your version of overgrowth with only a few clicks, and you won't have to download the entire game every week. It also let's you easily install a bunch of user created maps.
What kind of system do you have?

Granted. It is so evil that none of your players will face him.

I wish we had more rain so we can avoid a drought this year.

Ok, assuming that was the real password, that was an incredibly stupid thing to do. If there's a person on this site with malicious intent;
Bye bye account! Password and email address have been changed.
Oops, hope you don't have anything important like CD-keys or love letters in your private messages. They're all gone!

I am not some mook or poorly characterized RPG actor! I am a complex being with a vast array of thoughts and feelings! No single image - nay, not even an animated .gif - can hope to capture even the slightest fraction of who I am!
But a blank slate captures absolutely nothing. You are less than a mook or flat character!
Captures nothing? Or captures everything?

"You're not making sense!"

Aren't I? Or am I? :P

It doesn't even have to be a harmful secret. Would GG be willing to share her password to her account on this site? By definition, that's a secret.

You're just an anti conformity hipster.
Armok broke the mold when he made me :P

But what of us who forego such vain things as avatars? Discrimination I say.
Let us a-avatars have equal standing!

Narp. It was the firefly field or the gater swamp, they made their choice.
NASA has really suffered from funding cuts.
as for the US army that gets SO much more money than NASA...

yeah... humans are idiots.
Y'know, quite a bit of that money goes towards keeping our boys and girls alive.
In my mind, I'd rather a robot that cost $20 million to develop gets blown up by an IED than an actual person. Robots are fixable and replaceable.

Yeah, well all that will amount to jack shit if we don't get off the planet eventually. Eggs and baskets, people, eggs and baskets.
I'm not saying we shouldn't get off this planet at some point. I'm just saying that we lose far fewer people nowadays than we did in WWII or whatever, and part of that is due to using technology in dangerous situations.
Now, if only we could stop killing foreign civilians by accident (or otherwise), I'd sound less like some sort of apologist.

Some form of windshield wipers? Have a long motorized brush sweep across the panel's surface twice a day or something like that. A mechanic can come out every other week or so for a more thorough cleaning.
That'll do, but power production will still drop dramatically during any martian storm.
That would happen anyway. I'm thinking we'd need to furnish the colony with some sort of nuclear power generator, either fission or (if we've discovered it by now, not sure) fusion. Mars is geologically dead, so geothermal power is out. Shipping enough coal or gas to burn would be an exercise in futility (and I'm not sure how well either would burn in the thin atmosphere). And as already mentioned, that same atmosphere wouldn't provide much power to a wind farm. Solar is pretty much the best option until we can get something else.
They wouldn't burn. Mars atmosphere doesn't contain much oxygen. Also, we might want to shield our bases well, as Mars has no strong magnetic field. Which means solar radiation goes right through.
Looking at the map, it seems like the domes are built into the canyon walls. Mars may not have a magnetic field, but a few hundred tons of solid rock should be sufficient. Hell, they could probably survive a nuke, provided it wasn't too close.

There's a single attack button. Lots of different attacks from what I've seen.
