    ...And the "Oregon's Best Pet" pageant is awarded to Protector Pug, within half an hour of his introductory post. :D (Sorry, Wes. If you spent a little less time thinking about eating people you could have made it.)

    My dogs can think. Cats can think. Monkeys think. A lot of multicellular life forms think to some degree, actually. You might have better progress limiting the definition to creatures that are demonstrably self-aware, but even that is faulty. One of the chief ways of measuring self-awareness is gauging whether an animal can recognize its own reflection, and the ability to recognize oneself in a mirror seems to be a fairly shaky basis for a universal theory of interspecies ethics. The possession of a soul? I believe in souls, but I recognize the scientific difficulties involved in testing for the existence of such. Next. The ability to make moral decisions? Define moral decisions. Wolves care for their wounded. Cats can choose to reject or accept a new kitten added to their group. I guess what I'm saying is, finding the definition of sentience--or rather, sapience--is a lot trickier than it sounds. Especially in a Cosmere setting, where absolutely everything has a quantifiable Cognitive and Spiritual presence.

    Sentient airplanes are people too. Kind of. In a sense. Awesome. Can't wait for it. Would it surprise you to know that I've written almost every RP post ever in my pajamas? I never leave my house, so as long as there's not hard farm labor on a given day there's not much incentive to change out of my comfier clothes.
  4. Kobold King
    What's changed? Are you implying you would treat Edgedancer differently if he were a sentient airplane? Have a little tolerance, TwiLyght. Sadly that's the only date possible in the midst of a state's destruction. Fortunately, Al and Voidgaze are cute enough to pull it off. Did you decide to do a Protector Pug post now? Will she enter the Sadry residence, or will she run into Sam and the gang outside on the street?

    Nighthound is the creation of Edgedancer, and his bio is located here, under the Portland spoiler tag.
  6. Kobold King
    I'm game if you are.

    Big Al / Voidgaze Nathan / Funtimes Autumn / Shiny Sparkle Revolution / Forrest Purple Phoenix / Saccharine Mobius / Zombie!Koschei Flashpoint / Edgerunner Backtrack / MV Sunglasses We've got a lot to do before Valentines.

    She's pretty cool. How old is she now? Does she wear a specific costume? Also, can you confirm or deny that if she ever gets a POV, her icon will be one of these?
  9. Kobold King
    Granted. They don't. Also, your bane is that a portal to the elemental plane of water opens in your left ear, pouring a constant stream of saltwater out of the side of your head. I wish for the ability to send sombreros back in time, placing them on the heads of famous world leaders just when they're having their pictures taken.

    * puts on tinfoil hat * Maybe Calamity and the Epics are all just nightmares, made reality by Dawnslight's powers.

    What if a member is unexpectedly taken by the Shaod? Would you expel a member merely for the silver color of his/her skin, which said member has absolutely no control over?

    Clearly you haven't met many of the elderly Texan ranchers in my area. To most of them, "young" means "lazy pothead who's single-handedly responsible for all of the country's problems" Believe me, if I had the ability to single-handedly destroy the moral and economic welfare of a country just by existing in it, I'd be living like a king in South America, not stuck talking to a guy who alternates between blaming me and Obama for the latest tax increase.

    Being compared to Alexis Bledel is pretty favorable. The physical description most often attached to me is "Shaggy from Scooby-Doo."

    I wasn't sure if I'd post about this, but since the conversation seems to be falling dead again... Last night I dreamed that all the members of the 17th Shard were posting pictures of themselves. Chaos was a scimitar-wielding David Bowie, Edgedancer was ludicrously buff, and TwiLyght was the spitting image of Karen Gillan. It was... strange.
  15. Kobold King
    The same cannot be said for the Metal.
  16. Kobold King
    Awesome. Elsa, grab your coat. You're going to Astoria.
  17. Kobold King
    That one also seems to be a bit out of date, considering it refers to Toymaker as a "he."
  18. Kobold King
    Two words: zombie bees. Actually, let me use three words: zombie killer bees. He's suffer a lot of deaths, but eventually Lightwards would start scoring hits on Funtimes. If she didn't flee, he'd probably wear her down long before he lost full cognitive function. That was the point of the ninja smiley. Yeah, the Astorian Epics are ALL ridiculously overpowered. Compared to other RP Epics, at least; canon Epics are mostly closer to Lucentia and the Metal's power level than to Epics like Lightwards or Ze Mad Ballooner. Theoretical question: would a bolt of pure energy severing Lucentia's head from her body kill her? A Nighthound/Voidgaze rematch would be awesome. Does Toymaker have a bio/description somewhere?

    There's a reason Slaughterhouse and Mobius aren't part of the RP proper. I think the factor that would tip a fight into Slaughterhouse's favor is that Panda can't affect Epics without their consent, while Slaughterhouse can. If SH could touch him even for an instant, he could initiate a violent struggle for Panda's body. At best, Panda could break free from that, but would be forced to retreat. (Though you didn't see much of him in the ill-fated Calamityville RP, you guys will see Slaughterhouse's powers in action at some point. Sooner rather than later. ) Mobius and Obliteration would be an awesome fight, wouldn't it? At best Mobius could try crushing him with gravity, but his PI would keep her from directly harming him most of the time. Mobius would be saddled with the disadvantage of not having a proper invincibility, but she's mobile enough to stay out of the way of his energy blasts. One thing's for sure: Calamityville would fall, one way or another. Heck, the two of them could probably level Oregon all by themselves. Lightwards is already very interested in Toymaker. (Not in that way, TwiLyght. ) He'd have the advantage in a direct fight of being able to resurrect every soldier she makes as fast as he can kill them. (With dinosaurs and Epics like Aldo and Cricket on his side, he'd be able to kill them pretty quickly.) I don't know whose character TM is, but I think a Lightwards-Toymaker battle would be fun to have at some point, preferably ending with TM in Lightwards' custody.

    The obvious "Anyone who could kill Nighthound," but also, I think Panda vs Slaughterhouse, Funtimes vs Lightwards, Momentum Twins vs Newton, and Obliteration vs Mobius would be really cool.
  21. Kobold King
    Not all that slumbers is dead. Not all that scatters is broken. And dough that rises is not forgotten.
  22. Kobold King
    Oh, I intend to use the Power all right.
  23. Kobold King
    I think that'd be fine. It's just Frostfire and Reader in the scene, so since mail-mi's posted I'm pretty sure that makes it your turn, so to speak. Out-slontzing Reader? My, you're an ambitious one, aren't you? It was stricken from the canon, but many of us remember that Reader once shot and killed an innocent guard just to make a point. If Frostfire out-slontzes him, I'll be both impressed and terrified.

    I'd like to start the time-honored tradition of quoting my political adversaries out of context. Ahem: And of course, from Hoid and Stick: Granted... most of these are from hilarious posts on the forum that I upvoted, and out of context they're more strange than anything else. But still. Out of context quotes are a time-honored tradition in politics, and I'm nothing if not a traditionalist.
  25. Kobold King
    Because if you're going to get drunk, you should be around people you trust not to slit your throat once you pass out. And Intervention, shall we say, is not the spitting image of this kind of trustworthiness.
