((Only now I am beginning to understand how lucky we were to have Miyamoto with us. And now both missions are missing their leader. Actually, the entire anomaly mission was strangely very organized, especially at the beginning. Huh.

And about intuition rolls, I do just want to point out that this is far from the only time they caused problems. There was Mission 2 Space Pope, etc, intuition led to the tampering with the "Puddle" controlls during Mission 3, and it's just people very often take intuitions as a: "Oh, I have a plan on what to do, but I hope to gain a little more knowledge beforehand about this thing," when in reality it is "You have a change to gain slightly more information, but just as likely to be mislead and/or do something really harmfull and stupid.

PS: Also, remember guys when we had an OOC thread that we used for OOC and that wasn't just a Ship Thread? Because I forget. And I feel like this post belongs there more than here. But I can't delete it. But then I look back on an entire page of OOC and shrug.

To GreatWyrm: That too, but there is more to that. I, for example, realized way too late that my action to "Analyze" that Black Thing could have easily resulted in my death on a roll of 1. It's not funny when you die. At least when you die due to an easily avoidable "Analyze" action.))

Not online every Friday evening till Saturday night. If I am listed as online, I am still not online, as my computer has an annoying habit of waking up to the tiniest distraction and then going off to sleep again.

((If by "be mislead and/or do something really harmfull (sic) and stupid" you mean "get jokes, amusing actions, and probably do something that could get said actions mentioned in the thread title," then yes.))

...well, do that again and I burn you. Next one, then.

Walk up to the nearest alive person.

WO IST DER MARKT?
(( Stop May? I'm not sure stopping May is possible, at least not without changing her target of these 1-6 combos XD ))

Welp, first blood May, guys. Faith, you want me to try and bring them back, or just not make it worse?


"...It was an accident. I didn't put points into Intuition, I didn't want to, okay? Let's see how you guys roll. Now that would be problematic. And Xan, don't think you're the only one here with magic fire powers, Missy."

Go off to locate the market again. This time with smarts. You know, Intelligence and Logic and all that good ole' buttfuck.

((I don't think heating something that is right above us to a ridiculous degree is very smart. Worst case scenario we become +metal statues+. This is a finely crafted metal statue. It is encrusted with sharkmist and HMRC. On the item is an image of HMRC and Pancaek. Pancaek is laughing. The HMRC is melting. The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

A double-tap suicide... why do I get the feeling you'd left less of a mess if you'd used your manipulator?

Renen, I'm going to bring this corpse to the infirmary, watch the gate.


Pick up the corpse and gun, head back to the infirmary and drop it off, leave the gun at the barracks on my way back.

((Considering that:
1: A lot of those games are of the "No GM just chaos," and "Rate the avatar of the person above you" variety. And also that
2: There are plenty of forums with types of games similar to ER, which are not Bay12,
that statistic is irrelevant.

Also, it belongs in the ship thread. ::)

And I know that we never had a pure OOC Thread. I'm just saying that there was a time when discussions about what was happening on a mission went in the Ship Thread, not here. Maybe.))
