TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 "We could spend the resources we use feeding civilians to increase our defensive infrastructure." "But isn't the defensive infrastructure in existence solely to defend the civilians...?" "Why do you hate efficiency, commander?" There's a trope for that. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 There's a trope for that. Definitely one of my favorite comedic tropes. In other news, What Happened in The Dalles post 269 is up. "In Which Backtrack Provides the Set-Up for an Oregon Cover of 'Under the Sea,' and Deathwish Shows a Casual Disregard for Both Women and Property Damage."
Mailliw73 he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Yeah I'm going to have to believe that Deathwish has never had much contact with Scribbler. If he did then one or both of them would be dead. Scribbler and Edgerunner both. I still think we need a training montage with Glamour playing "Eye of the Tiger." Would Glamour care to join the Decent Epic Army that Edgerunner is starting? Just for background music purposes.

I don't have any plans for Glamour, but we'll see what happens.

Tie him down and read passages of The Absolutely True History of Remington Springfield, unpublished sequel to her first Remington book? 2

You can do quite a bit of damage with blunt objects falling toward you at five times gravity. Probably not that much, since there's bound to be blood, but you get the idea. And she can stop him from moving by increasing friction of all his clothes. Edge wouldn't like it, but his powers are useful, and annoying as he might be, he is useful.

Edge wouldn't like it, but his powers are useful, and annoying as he might be, he is useful. Would the friction do much? His flight essentially amounts to telekinetic control of his own body. With the amount of freedom he has in flight and acceleration it seems like he could just power through the friction. (I'm no physicist, though. )
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 There's an old Nickelodeon show called Invader Zim. On that show, Zim's people, the Irkens, choose leaders based on height. The ruling class is called The Tallest, or "my Tallest," if you're the one addressing them. The Babath system of rule only makes slightly more sense. 1

Maybe it'd hold his clothes there and he'd rip through? But there's no way Edge would let that happen.

No, we're not declaring Saccharine the Tallest of Portland. True. I don't really know either. Maybe it'd hold his clothes there and he'd rip through? But there's no way Edge would let that happen. Anything which could cause Deathwish's nudity should be strictly prohibited. GM, back me on this. 2

You have my wholehearted, undying, and enthusiastic support. (Though....Nighthound has been nude in-game before, so there's precedent. Horrible, horrible precedent. ) 2
Mailliw73 he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Anything which could cause Deathwish's nudity should be strictly prohibited. GM, back me on this. Ban all the baths!! Don't worry. Edgerunner has no desire to see that either. You have my wholehearted, undying, and enthusiastic support. (Though....Nighthound has been nude in-game before, so there's precedent. Horrible, horrible precedent. ) Des has killed the Connell Epics in the nude and was killed while nude himself. Not much bette of a precedent. 1

I guess my mind blocked it out. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 There seems to be an equation where nudity is concerned in this game. The chances of a character being seen in the nude are directly proportional to the amount of revulsion that sight would cause. We are really, REALLY bad at fanservice. Not that I'm arguing for more nudity, but still. We're really bad at this. 2

So Funtimes, Edgerunner, and co. will always be swaddled in at least half a dozen layers of clothing... but our chances of seeing Lightwards in the shower are alarming high. ... I'm not sure how I feel about this. 2

Kobold King he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I'll put Funtimes in a swimsuit and have her padlock and deadbolt the door to Lightwards' bathroom, pronto. Wanna bet that this would become a popular post in two days? 1
Mailliw73 he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 News that I thought you'd all be interested in if you don't read Brandon's Twitter feed: Calamity's rough draft is done!! 4
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Wanna bet that this would become a popular post in two days? Even if it was a modest one-piece with a frilly pink skirt and little bows on the straps? Or...would that be part of the reason? 2
Kobold King he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 News that I thought you'd all be interested in if you don't read Brandon's Twitter feed: Calamity's rough draft is done!!

Even if it was a modest one-piece with a frilly pink skirt and little bows on the straps? Or...would that be part of the reason? I can't see Funtimes wearing anything else. 2

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Which topic was that? "Calamity Percentages" over on the main Reckoners board.
Kobold King he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 "Calamity Percentages" over on the main Reckoners board. Or as I like to call it, "In Which a Bunch of Obsessed Nerds Can't Tear Their Eyes Away From a Single Progress Bar." (I'm one of those nerds. ) In other news... at Quiver's suggestion I'm finally giving the sequel to the hated Equestria Girls, "Rainbow Rocks," a fair trial. ...Am I the only one who can envision this song as Calamity goading Epics to destroy Oregon in their fights with one another? Or have I reached a level of obsessiveness so that there's genuinely not a single song that I will not link to the RP? 4
