Just want to make sure there are no objections. You'll have your answers soon enough.

Well, I was on team bismuth, in case you didn't notice. We never did get around to building that skyblimb.

Yeah, the base, project Iron Man, so many good ideas we didn't get to fully complete.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, we chose the name Bismuth because of a mix of stuff, from thinking of growing our base from a sentient seed, to that it started with B.

Yeah, I was Aether's spy on Bismuth.  That wasn't the fun part though, the fun was that I was also Bismuth's spy on Aether.

I was literally the entirety of both teams' military intelligence.  I even had plans to destroy Aether with Bismuth, and control Bismuth through proxy, but that ended with the game, sadly.  And I was soo close.

Ahh, well.


BTW, I call being the patron saint of deception.

I will have to ask, as someone on both sides, how did they compare?

Also who's side were you on first?

Yeah, I was genuinely afraid of that guy. No offense, but only a sociopath would be a better manipulator. But he was smart, so I listened to him. And I was certain that when the time came I would be able to wrest control of the team from him. That's why I tried to keep things democratic, so that no one man could gain too much power. Anyway, typing out the links now...

On another note, I'm thinking of putting together a perplexicon Roguelike. I sent PW a PM requesting permission, but I don't think he saw it, so I'll just post here. I've already got the beginnings of the thing programmed.

Dat edit :P

Also who's side were you on first?

Oh, Bismuth was way better, which is why I ended up choosing them instead.  They never killed their own members, at least.

Well, I was never really on your side.  I mostly just joined Aether to steal your words.  (Didn't you notice I never gave you the words I used?)  But I did join Aether first.  I joined Bismuth, oh, a day before you were talking about planting a spy?  That's why I volunteered.  Didn't want you finding out.

I wasn't on their side either of course, but eventually they grew on me and I started conspiring with Paris to take out Aether.

You do realize I had contingencies for that, right? :P

Oh, and by the way, we were kinda manipulating our team to agree on making a first strike on you. I knew he was only interested in obliterating you, but I was going for a more peaceful approach, simply trapping you in the temple and forcing you to either join our team or at least declare obedience. I knew from the way he was talking that you probably weren't interested in conflict, but it was another danger off the table and another way to add more members to our team and make us more powerful. And I totally wanted to kick some ass with my team.

Not included in the projects is project Iron man, which I detailed in this quicktopic post:
Quote
Kind of what saddens me with this lack of updates is that I have so many great ideas but I am unable to test them. I'm going to list a few to get them off my chest. Since they focus on weaponized suit of armor, I've been thinking them as project Iron Man.

All pieces of armor get a mark of magic resistance.

My top tier weapon that takes advantage of the +1 to fire attacks my god gives: Clockwork Steel Glove Shootfromfinger Explosive Arcane Fire.
I was thinking of also making one that shot explosive black holes but it seems a bit too dangerous. Maybe something for last resort.
I also like the fact that I could use the "handguns" pun.

Something more destructive but also more focused: Clockwork Steel Glove WhatImpointing Destroy

Something for defense against projectiles: Clockwork Bracelet Infrontofme Repulsiveforce Slow Blackhole Wall

Something for (more) defense against magic: Clockwork Bracelet Infrontofme Steel Wall Resist Magic

Something to keep bad things away:
Steel Breastplate Repulse Blackhole Antimatter Lightning <something else, haven't decided yet>. Similar thing with the helmet <definitely poison for the helmet>.

This one's for Angle, since it allows him to control others with good Dex and Will rolls: Clockwork Steel Glove Whatimpointing Boosted(Don't know if it helps) Control

I was thinking about attaching some wings of Float Control to the armor to allow flight.

Don't know what to do with the legs and shoes...

EDIT:Oh, I forgot about the fun part. The blades:

Oblivion: Clockwork Sword Slow Solid Blackhole

Annihilator: Clockwork Steel Sword Destroy Magic (not so sure this will work)

Drainer: Clockwork Steel Sword Suck Pool (not so sure this will work)
I'm certain I can make something like that work with a glove. Would be useful for sharing pool with someone or draining an enemy mage while recharging your pool at the same time.
