((Derm is like the hooker who charges way too much for everything, Piecewise is the guy trying to get the hooker's services but never has enough money and tries to barter using Bus coupons, Unholy is that tall lanky guy in camo clothing who ends everything with "GOD BLESS YOU" and Encorselor is that one white guy who tries convincing everyone that Eminem is the greatest artist of all time.

I refuse to make any parallels unless they involve the people in my neighborhood when I used to live in an apartment.))

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

How do you want me to put it?

As in define "anything."  Anything more than "nothing happens?"  Something solid summoned?  Two dancing pigeons who put on a Broadway song and dance from the fifties?

Screw that- I want to know how I fit in TCM's analogy.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

I would have thought that "Anything more than 'Nothing happens'" would be the typically-assumed interpretation, as well as being the desired one.
Two dancing pigeons putting on a 50's Broadway song-and-dance routine would definitely be worth further investigation into words on that page.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

Bodyguard? I suppose. More I'm just interested in keeping him alive for the purpose of causing chaos. Also, I'm not very physically capable, and a derm on my side for the time being is helpful. Eventually he'll betray me, like Hitler to Stalin in the early days of WWII, but Till that day I shall continue to science.

Uh, that was a weird comparison, since both ruled huge empires in their days, and also because Stalin won... I see what you did there. Yeah, believe it or not, but I think that in a one on one, you will win. Derm is already weakened, and you have a better physical form. And because you have a DM screen. Also, I find hilarious the idea of protecting chaos. Because chaos needs protection.

Oh, and thank you everyone for your explanations. I've had a lot of fun reading those.

Why are 100% of my posts in ER? I already have another account. Created this one specifically for playing.

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.


List of links to charts and graphs here. Work in progress. Check it out?

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Concern.

Whatever magic or intangible force existed here had the power to shift reality and defy the laws of life and physics itself.

This was intriguing.

"Derek, can you feel your legs?"

"Escosall." Myra says, focusing on the general notion of helping Derek with his problem.

"I cannot feel them.  They aren't natural anymore and don't even seem to want to move too much.  Possible because they are much too heavy and of the wrong shape.

Derek doesn't really do much at this point probably because his legs are metal and a pain in the neck to move, Myra is borrowing the wand, and random spellwords don't do all that much.  To add to that, it's apparent he has little mobility.  It's quite annoying.
