What was the best thing you saw or got to do on your vacation?

If you had to choose between being locked in a room with Koschei the Deathless for five minutes, or with Quota for ten, what would your decision be and what kind of gun would you bring with you?

No, most of those powers would simply provide empowerment over a fear. You don't have to fear rejection if you can control women, and you don't have to fear being wrong if it's literally impossible for you to be wrong. I'm not sure what powers all these characters would have, but I'm pretty sure the OP is speculating about powers that specifically require their user to get over their fears in some way.

"The day I can't kill a weak Epic like you with a stapler and a rug is the day I deserve to die and stop draining this city's resources." Seriously though, I'll try to get that done soon.

Having a Bad Day? Stop here for a Good Rant!
Kobold King replied to traceria's topic in General Discussion
Not my bad day specifically, but poaching has reached an all-time high in Africa. It's currently estimated that a poacher kills an elephant once every fifteen minutes. Rangers and conservationists working in the field have pretty much resigned themselves to the fact that at the current rate, elephants and most of Africa's other charismatic animals will be extinct before the next generation takes charge of the earth. I'm horrified by the thought that my grandchildren may live in a world without elephants or rhinos, their knowledge of these creatures coming only from antique photographs they find on future!Wikipedia. Even worse, will my great grandchildren even know these animals existed, any more than the average American knows about the quagga or the great auk or Stellar's sea cow? In a hundred years, who will remember the cross-species genocides being carried out right now? Past the year 2200, will a human being ever again hear the sound of an elephant's trumpet? Sorry for the depressing rant. This is something I think about often. -
I dunno, I kind of enjoyed it. I actually liked it better than the Troubleshoes episode, which is my least favorite for this season. That said, I would have preferred for the moral to have been about rising to cope with an unexpected responsibility, with Spike worried about screwing up like he has in past episodes, but surprising himself and impressing others with his ability to make intelligent decisions. Instead, the moral is more along the lines of "You suck, so never take initiative or you'll screw up everything and cause a flood."

My dad just walked into the house and asked "Do you know who Taylor Swift is?" He was surprised that, for once, I knew who a pop singer was. He proceeded to tell some story about her, starting with "I always considered her kind of an idiot..." I wanted to respond "She considers you a corpse."

I really like this theory. My only question would be whether other Epics would make sense in this universe. Would Conflux be an old woman with the power to control dogs? What would female!Fortuity's powers look like?

I'm pretty sure insta-kill powers are par for the course where Oregon is concerned. CorpseMaker kills with a stare. Sightline and Timeport can teleport their weapons into you. Electro's lightning is fast enough to be counted as one, and Altermind can fill you with so much agony you might as well be dead. I think they're fine, as long as there's full cooperation between their writers and the writers for other characters. As long as nobody tries to use these powers to start randomly killing other people's characters left and right, these powers are no more gamebreaking than a pistol and a steady hand.

Remington Springfield has an Epic-skin rug in his cabin. The Epic isn't dead, of course--he's just too afraid to get up without Remington's permission.

Remington Springfield cleaning his rifle.

Remington Springfield is Calamity's weakness.

Oh, I'm not her. I probably wouldn't look nearly as good in Edgerunner's leggings as she does.
-
Remington Springfield doesn't miss. His targets bend themselves into the path of his bullets, because it's an honor to be killed by him.

Awesome! Design of alien critters is kind of my forte, so I'll help any way I can. The size of this creature largely depends on what kind of prey is available to it. Angler fish on Earth are small creatures, as food is few and far between in the dark ocean depths they hunt in. They simply do not have enough nutrition to grow very large, and so are only about three feet long at their largest. On the other hand, the giant squid can grow to enormous sizes, as it actively hunts fish rather than passively wait for them to be lured in. If your angler wolf engages in both types of feeding behavior, you could probably get away with making it horse-sized. Now for a slightly more presumptuous line of discussion--habitat. The design of the angler wolf is wicked cool, but lacks proper function for dwelling underwater. The lupine body plan is ideal for running on plains or in the depths of forests, but four clawed legs wouldn't be of much use to an animal that dwells in the darkest abysses of the sea. In the underwater world, a hydrodynamic design is key, as dolphins, whales, and seals can attest to. To me, your design bespeaks an animal that lives predominantly on land, with brief forays into water to hunt. I would hesitantly speculate that the angler wolf is native to either a world that is tidally locked--that is, a world that doesn't rotate, in which one side of the planet is perpetually in daylight and the other is perpetually night--or a planet with a much slower rotation than that of Earth's, resulting in a prolonged period of darkness on the planet. Such conditions would be favorable for an animal like the angler wolf, as it could use its lights to attract prey out of the darkness but could still use its legs for traversing the landscape. Again, this is an awesome design. I don't know how art trades like this work, but I don't think for an instant that you should be nervous about presenting this.

Ingredients: salt, potatoes, and nosy customers. All days end--except last Thursday. Don't look now, but Joseph Stalin.

I vote it be a guy dressed like Steelheart who lifts them up by the collar, leans into their faces, and informs them of this fact in the harshest, most intimidating voice he can muster. They can then be reminded of this fact by actors portraying Fortuity, Nightwielder, Regalia, and Obliteration for the rest of their trip.

Is it awful that I genuinely laughed out loud at this part?

The Good News Thread: I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!

Well, I've been baptized now. Also, one of the ladies at the church baked a gluten-free strawberry cake in celebration, and it was awesome. -
I personally didn't have any plans... Sure, since you asked nicely. He talks exactly like the Dodo from Phineas and Ferb.
-
I know. Aldo/Wes started as a joke, back before everyone realized how perfect they are for each other. Close, but he'd sooner declare himself the God of the Dodos than a dodo himself.
-
Backtrack started as a joke. I mean, he's still a joke in a way, but he started as a much less pathetic kind of joke.
-
Also, I think I found what Mr. Meh thought about mothers who coddle their infants in public.

I've seen what Twi has planned. Guys, you will not BELIEVE your eyes when Quota's death comes along. I mean, leaving him stranded one of the moons of Jupiter without food, water, or oxygen? That was a stroke of genius, even if it did mean giving Nathan actual time-and-space powers. That's all I can say right now without delving into spoilers.
