TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 So I heard the Weird Al song "Amish Paradise" in a store the other day, which got me thinking about the music video…. ….which got me thinking about an Epic, whose pony would bear a striking resemblance to Pinkie Pie's dad, whose powers included extreme humility and barn-raising. 1
Kobold King he/him Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 So I heard the Weird Al song "Amish Paradise" in a store the other day, which got me thinking about the music video…. ….which got me thinking about an Epic, whose pony would bear a striking resemblance to Pinkie Pie's dad, whose powers included extreme humility and barn-raising. ...I was going to make fun of the idea of an Amish despot, but then I remembered my meeting the leader of the quasi-Amish community not far from my house and I realized the idea isn't that far-fetched. I can actually readily imagine an Epic who uses a progressively complicated ordnung to keep his vanilla minions in line. On the other hand, having Amish Man get into an argument with Lucentia over which of them is more humble would be pretty entertaining. 1

If the Reckonersverse has taught us anything, it's that anyone can be corrupted—and anyone will. Diamond generation vs. barn-raising. It's a battle for the ages! Who! Will! WIN? 1

It's a battle for the ages! Who! Will! WIN? I'm not exaggerating when I say he's threatened to banish people from the community for forgetting to wear their straw hats when they stepped out of their homes. He actually did banish someone for using a cellphone on a "community working day." Exchange 'banish' for 'kill' and you've got a terrifying Epic already. I presume Lucentia's minions would play "First World Problems," but would Amish Man's minions play "Amish Paradise" or "Raise This Barn"? 1
Edgedancer he/him Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 On the other hand, having Amish Man get into an argument with Lucentia over which of them is more humble would be pretty entertaining. There's one big problem with this plan. Lucentia doesn't think she's humble, she thinks she's entitled to being arrogant.

I doubt being propelled through the air by a barn that springs up randomly beneath her would change her opinion, but it would be funny for the rest of us.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Can we play cartoon screaming over her, just to humiliate her a bit more? Make it so, Number One.
Edgedancer he/him Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Make it so, Number One. Alright, I'll try and make something up. Wait a moment while I get advise from a very respectable source in this area. Much better than Leto. Edited August 2, 2015 by Edgedancer 2

Edgedancer he/him Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Also much better than Leto. That cartwheel though. Although what I like about my Joker is his nice duster. 1
Edgedancer he/him Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Loving the look of the maps guys Talking about the map, looking at the Portland section, Chimera's zoo is rather close to the MoNA.
Voidus Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 The Dalles is probably the most in need of a map, with characters frequently travelling between points like Vondra's HQ, Reader and Autumns offices and Game's clinic.

Maybe... unless the Dalles is actually a part of the fea and doesn't have set locations. You just think of where you want to go, head of in a direction and viola, you're there. 1

Wish real life worked like that Only without the still having to move part, tea is always just out of reach when you're warm in a blanket. 1

Do I smell a new Epic? Anyway Kobold, what do you think Lightwards is going to do with Chimera so relatively close to him? 1

Given that PP is the closest thing to a self insert character aside from certain aspects of Soulcaster I'm going to have to insist that he receive a manservant with tea summoning capabilities immediately!

Anyway Kobold, what do you think Lightwards is going to do with Chimera so relatively close to him? He could probably offer protection from CM in exchange for a number of his creatures....though I can't imagine Chimera being thrilled with the idea of handing over some of his creations to be murdered and zombified. If I were him, I'd troll Lightwards by giving him the most useless Chimerans I had. No, that would not be smart. Yes, it would be worth it to see Lightwards' face when he got a penguin crossed with a dung beetle. 1

Actually for Lightwards that would probably be one of the best creatures possible. This may require some thought. 1

So it has two heads, eight stomachs, and ten times the motivation to stand there and eat grass. Edit: "Backtrack, go milk the exploding cow." Edited August 2, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 5
