  1. I'm sure we'll find something to occupy our time until then.
  2. Honestly? She probably wouldn't do much. Sam largely lashes out at Epics out of anger and frustration about her life and the sorry state vanillas live in. The Dalles, being a comparative paradise to Portland, would probably allow her to live a somewhat more normal adolescence. She still might spray graffiti on Deathwish's house in the middle of the night, and might--just might--wind up as friends with Scribbler or Edgerunner. It's hard to say.
  3. Just give her a police siren and the policeman's handgun. It'll be fine.
  4. Tiny Snarkle and Ref Dish are the two most notorious flirts in the RP.
  5. Sounds good, but let's limit our results to people who won't deliberately slow the trip to get more chances to flirt with her.
  6. Not if I can get Sam in town quickly enough.
  7. Joy wears shorts, sandals, and a tilley hat while drinking tea with his pinky finger out. He's a goofball, but fancies himself a sophisticated gentleman and gives himself a little pat on the back whenever I make a joke as a result of his influence. Anger is a broad-shouldered knight in pure red armor, who takes the wheel a bit more often than he should. The fire that burns within him is hot but smolders slowly, and his greatest priority is making sure my surroundings are ordered in exactly the way I like. He diligently takes control of the console whenever one of my neuroses is triggered. Fear is a quiet chap, usually inactive and untalkative. He doesn't obsess over specific crises very often, but he often becomes convinced of something vague but terrible that could occur in the near future. As I said, he doesn't often take control of the console, but he collaborates with Sadness when I become convinced people don't like me. Sadness is a drama queen. The only female Emotion in my skull, she dresses in black and loudly mourns the fading of all I hold dear when something bad or moderately annoying happens. Anger and Fear handle most empathetic situations, leaving her mostly in charge of self-pity. Finally, Disgust is a squat, lazy fellow who doesn't do much of anything. Through inaction he's probably responsible for me eating fried grasshoppers and that one M&M I found on the floor. He does, however, leap to full action whenever I walk through a spider web.
  8. I'm not sure about Backtrack, but I nominate that Hypno start wearing them right away.
  9. Well, covertly sabotaging your work would be pretty drastic. Is it possible they're legitimately trying to help?
  10. I'd ask instead what evidence anyone else has to support it's being a natural step in our evolution. Because the fact that humanity lasted two hundred thousand years without approaching it, and then wreaked massive environmental damage upon achieving it, seems to indicate that it is both newfangled and destructive. If civilization were natural to our species, then we would have seen it arise somewhere in the last two hundred thousand years of our existence. As civilization is a destructive way of life developed by only a tiny handful of the millions of cultures that have walked on this earth, shouldn't we be considered the exception rather than the rule? And if we're the exception, wouldn't it be arrogant to declare ourselves to be on the right track without at least evaluating our way of life compared to theirs?
  11. Weird. I seem to recall seeing Quota on Reddit and Youtube recently. Here's a random trio of the topics Sam posted: "Who wore it better--Lightwards or the Lucky Charms mascot?" "How can I ignore a member's signature? I'm sick of reading Song of Songs again every time Obliteration posts." "BREAKING NEWS: Deathwish is secretly made of motorcycle grease, cheap hair gel, and desperation." Though in one of her less proud moments, she did complain about someone failing to include a trigger warning before posting a cupcake recipe.
  12. Her finger slipped when she tried to downvote him, honest! Motion carried. So it sounds like Autumn would be one of the most popular people on the Oregon Shard just because of sheer niceness. Now, on the other end of the spectrum... what would Quota be doing? Probably, but if I have a certain character understood like I think I do, he might have some rough competition from the Church of the Singularity. I imagine he might be pushed to create a new guild on the social section of the site, only to be enraged when the Jagers hijack it and Funtimes starts posting never-ending pictures of kittens and pugs.
  13. Yeah. In fact, let's start another petition just to make sure C4's dress stays on. She'd be good at that. Would she be friends with Scribbler and Edgerunner? Would she have Deathwish on "Ignore"? On the Good News thread every now and then to boast about the progress the Empire is making. A few stops on the Religions topic, beginning with contemptuous remarks at all the religious people on it but eventually degrading to ranting about the tyranny of Death and demanding that people willingly resign themselves into his service. And of course, there'd be plenty of journeys to various member profiles to downvote everything Funtimes and Lucentia ever posted. Oh, and occasionally he'd complain that nobody asked questions on his AMA, ignoring the fact that they only avoided it because he had the habit of calling people imbeciles whenever they asked him anything.
  14. Now just to spread news of Nighthound's Nighthoundness across the forum, to get more people to sign our petition. About what I suspected. Where might one find a certain Autumn Glass? A bit of both. He'd have only one person on his friend's list--MV, though she'd continually insist that she clicked the button on accident and just couldn't be bothered to remove him.
  15. Petition to have the lowest possible rep level changed to "Nighthound"? What thread would Doctor Funtimes post on?
  16. Fear not, TwiLyght. If RP characters had accounts, then the Having a Bad Day thread would have long since been filled to the brim by Lucentia complaining about her subjects.
  17. I'll wear my Periodic Table of Ponies T-shirt. Or maybe the Go Home, Evolution shirt.
  18. I am hoping you've added "Invite Kobold over for fettuccine night" along with all the legitimately useful stuff other people have suggested. See? It's a win-win for everybody!
  19. "You've been wronged." Twi's mother stood in the doorway, confused. "Um, who are you?" "I'm a person who thinks you've been wronged," replied Kobold evasively. "I've spoken to your daughter. When she spoke of you, she spoke of wrongs you'd committed against her. But I know you meant well, and your wrongdoings were exaggerated." Confusion turned to anger as Twi's mother scowled. "What did she say?" she demanded angrily. "I've worked hard to give her the best upbringing I could give her, and she--" "Oh, it's nothing about that," Kobold responded, waving his hand dismissively. "Though frankly, I think you've been pretty beastly to her on a lot of issues. I'm here about the pasta." Confusion returned. Twi's mother blinked awkwardly. Seeing his chance, Kobold held out a small empty bowl hopefully. "I heard you like making fettuccine alfredo, and no one else wants to eat it as often as you do. Well, here's your chance to feed someone who will never get sick of the stuff."
  20. * refrains from commenting about how much he'd like a bowl of fettuccine alfredo right now, for Twi's sake *
  21. Maaaaybe. Oh, most definitely. The bipedal form is a highly useful and ingenious design that we probably share with millions, if not billions, of other sapient races. What I specifically refer to are the kinds of alien races Star Trek is infamous for. Races that are the spitting image of humanity, save for a tiny dab of makeup on the cheek, pointy ears, or a wrinkled forehead.
  22. Cool. Shall we presume that there are no humanoid races in this new galaxy? In Star Trek lore the reason for species as similar to one another as the humans, Klingons, and Bajorans was because a humanoid race once seeded the whole galaxy with life, hoping species like themselves would one day evolve on those worlds. Assuming that those humanoids never came to the galaxy this RP takes place in, can we thus speculate that the only native species in this part of space are organisms that are extremely different from humanity? Giant sapient spiders, civilized songbirds, superintelligent shark-creatures, etc?
  23. I think "The Database" or "The Data Cloud" would be perfect.
  24. Sounds good to me. They would be roughly analogous to the Question, What Happened in.., and Epics of Oregon threads we use in the Reckoners RPG, and that system works well for us.
  25. Maybe I could help flesh out the galaxy with a few stock species for people to use? Since this galaxy obviously won't have Klingons or Cardassians, it might be useful to have a few other races to appear as NPCs. You could use them as mercenaries, or fight them in barroom brawls, or what have you.
