God out of the machine?

As opposed to God is the Machine. Which is what Deus Est Machina means.

Deus Ex Machina literally means God out of the machine, doesn't it?

Probably, but it is used to refer to when an author uses some improbable device to save the protagonists' bacon. In Greek theater, a god would sometimes show up towards the end to fix things, using some sort of machine to fake flight or something. That's how I understand the origin of the phrase.

Who said anything about me using it to solve problems? :P

I'm just doing it for the lulz.

And yes I'm familiar with Deus Ex Machina.

GWG. You failed the roll to hire spidey. Not to kill Sanders. I would roll Sanders v spidey.

>ROLL FOR BONUS UNTIL I GET ROLL BONUS. FOR EVERY ROLL BONUS I GET, THE HIGHER CHANCE I HAVE OF GETTING ANOTHER ROLL BONUS. THUS REPEAT PROCESS UNTIL I HAVE ALL ROLL BONUSES.
YOU ROLL MAKE A FACTION
"I see. It appears that many creations have formed their own factions, thus having much better success rates. It's time to even the playing field."

>FORM VOID FACTION
>CONTINUE TO POWER UP THE VOID VORTEX WITH THE CELESTIAL POWER PLANTS OF THE GALAXY INSIDE SAID VORTEX

>FORM VOID FACTION
>RESURRECT SELF IF NEEDED

>FORM VOID FACTION, DANG IT!
>RESURRECT IF NEEDED

>WRITE FACTION CONTRACT WITH INVISIBLE FINE PRINT
>HAVE PARTICIPANTS OF THE MEETING SIGN FACTION CONTRACTS


...

Back to failing, I guess.

i like how you wanted to make your own faction for a whole month despite the fact our goals are the same and for a while now i can give you a +2 if you became my lieutenant

well, you did betray me once in favor of the conservatives

not going to invite you again.

I may or may not have created another threat. All I know is that I'm spreading its word.

Dang it Xantalos! I would rather have my grand master perv furbie army destroy slowpoke before he can boost Morgan Freeman's power, but if you try attacking Lichette, I'll send them after you instead.

Don't care. Lichette has to die, and I win anyhow.

Is that really worth the risk of being stuck in a furbie orgy forever?
