Are you kidding? I'm not leaving Gilgamesh even if he starts beeping and talking about self destructing. Even if it wasn't Gilgamesh, I'd still prefer the Battlesuit, mostly because I like how it looks. Not to mention that in order to keep using the rainbow cannon, I'd have to attach his arm to the new BS, since I have yet to figure out how to detach it, and that would look weird.

That's a relief! But, in case you ever change your mind, the offer still stand.
Which brings up an interesting point.

How much is an extra arm for a battlesuit? :P

And how much to convert a battlesuit into a handpuppet for me to use and entertain children with?

Two thoughts that came up when reading the IRC log:

@Toaster: Have you written an entry about Steve in the good eldritch book? If not, you probably should. Just to make sure it is there for future priests in case something bad happens to Lars.

@Sword remodelling: There should be two clearly labelled buttons in each convicts room, one for suicide and the other for stasis. After Steve checks that you are in a semi-sound state (not mind controlled or threatened by a teammate or something) he asks you if you are sure and then releases the appropriate gas, either sleeping gas or some sort of... I dunno, something that kills but keeps the body intact for the Doctor and others to play with, I don't know much about biology, (I don't know much about a science book...) CO2 combined with some sort of embalming agent maybe?

What so that I could attach it to its chest? Make it look like a Vortigaunt?
No, wait, now that I think about it, the chest piece can open to reveal the entire cockpit, so that wouldn't work.
I could put it in the back, but that would mean I couldn't use my backpack battery and bag of crap.
I could put it in a lower position but that would bring about some unfortunate implications...
Only position that could work, if it doesn't obstruct the hatch, would be on the very top of the suit, but it would probably be hard to brace it properly, considering how heavy it is and the kind of recoil it has to endure.
Unless I go the route of Erik and just put extra arms on the sides, extending the battlesuit to make it higher at the same time. But that would require a custom built battlesuit and I don't want to let go of Gilgamesh.

EDIT: Just read the on ship thread. Beirus wants to do a flip. In a battlesuit. .... I'm starting to have second thoughts about this.
Is it too late to run after him screaming "Wait! I changed my mind!"?

No, do it, stand in front of the suit waving your arms wildly. in case you need to break Gilgamesh' landing.

You might say Darwin was equivalent to Einstein with the theory of evolution?
You might say then that Xan's an ..............

Okay, first up, Charles Darwin and Einstein were famous for breakthroughs in two entirely different schools of science, second, if PW is to make an evolution-from constant generational cycles themed RTD game he should totally call it Darwinian roulette and third no, probably not.
Also clean up what you mean by 'equivalent' what is this were you born in a grammar barn?

I've been skimming over some dead man running for some reason (procrastination, undoubtedly) and came across this thing again:

Man, I forgot how fun it was just sitting in the audience back then.

Who wants to bet on some permadeaths due to ping pong?
I imagine an anime-esque ping pong battle, with people jumping in the air and hitting the balls with an absurd amount of strength while screaming, the balls bursting into flames that form the images of mythical creatures, the table and the racket breaking from the strength of the blows, people hit by the ball being knocked into walls and the spectators making absurdly long dialogues between each shot in anime time about what secret long lost never before seen technique each of the player is using and screaming things like "believe in yourself!" or "I believe in you!" or "you fight for all of us!".
Like this?
I have no regrets.

@Paris supposedly there already are "complimentary cyanide capsule"s in everyone's quarters, so that takes care of the suicide button I guess.  As long as cyanide wouldn't damage the body too much?

The rooms contain your stasis pods so you can freeze yourself. But if you want to euthanize yourself you'll have to head to the infirmary.
