She's not really there much either. Really, if you thought that Arya was just there on occasion to make it seem like she owns the place and it wasn't just a base for the Northsdale Five you wouldn't be that far off.

You'd at least ask Maria, who is there. Or hell, Selina, who's practically a Ryan by now.

Neither of them own the house, or the yard. Arya would still need to be contacted about this.

But... Maria isn't. She's out jogging.

On that note someone should tell her what's happened when she gets back.

Bracelets?

We should definitely give one to her.

[Akroma]

you say Will would have not carried out on his threat?


you clearly said :

Hainuwele has returned from China.

Alongside her come 200 fingerlings and their belongings, as well as food and livestock, to found the fingerling city-state of Yardistan. And what an industrious bunch they are. Half of them begin building field for various crops and miniature lifestock, using up most of the space in the yard, while the other half begins building cottages alongside the farms, as well as dozens of small houses in the tree in the yard. Meanwhile they will mostly sleep within the keep, and who knows how far they will be extending the catacombs below it.

Hainuwele watches over the whole thing with a satisfied smile, a gem signifying royalty now sitting in her sake-cup-helmet.

Will comes out back.
"A-hem!" If this doesn't get all their attention, he stomps his foot; if that, too, fails, he knocks over some inconsequential building.
"This is NOT your land. You need to ask Arya's permission before building things. She was fine with the keep, but that doesn't mean she'll be fine with you guys taking over her entire yard. Idiots."

"You come at a good time btw, we need to establish an income and a trade base for this city to flourish, so many of my people will soon go out and seek employment among the giants. Surely you can make sure they get a fair payment and proper working conditions, right?"

"Not nearly as effectively as the Australian government, which established laws for that a while back. What do you expect to be able to do, anyways? It would probably take two or three of you to efficiently operate a keyboard."

and next post

The fingerlings ignore Will, as Hainuwele advised them to

Will locates the least important building and puts his foot over it, threatening to crush it. If they keep ignoring him...
"Is anyone in this building?"
If not, he crushes it.

excuse me, but your memory seems to be falling a bit short. he already knocked one building down, and was clearly about to stomp another one.

[kj1225]

I can just see it now.
<But Arya I NEED to beat up these criminals!>

[GreatWyrmGold]

1. "Inconsequential" and "Least Important" do NOT mean most important.

2. Sorry for being vague. I was trying to say that Will was working on doing what I said he would do earlier.

[Akroma]

1) inconsequential or not, a building is a building that people have put effort and work in, and to them is likely a whole lot more consequential than to you. Frankly speaking, when a giant comes to your town and starts knocking over buildings, how important that building was is the last thing anyone cares about. when was the last time godzilla went to tokyo and everybody went "oh well, that one was abandoned anyway". That's what people think about *afterwards*, but the first reaction to a giant knocking over buildings is panic


2) there is nothing vague about "he knocks over an inconsequential building" or "if not, he crushes it"

[GreatWyrmGold]

1. Again, Will had no intent of actually destroying important buildings. And given the stated half-complete nature of town, the buildings he destroyed and threatened were respectively barely started and just started. Also, both were empty and incredibly minor buildings.

2. The "Vague" part was the "Will's going to do what he threatened to do now" part.
My thought process:
"Will will try these things. But he doesn't do them all now."
"He's going to go do that last one now."

[Akroma]

then simply try one approach and wait for a reaction, and then make the next post. This is the same problem with your long time-paradox posts, where you sorta retcon will into conversations that were already done hours ago. nobody can react to it. and while time paradoxes in the past can simply be ignored, please try to avoid time paradoxes in the future.

[GreatWyrmGold]

1. People have often not-ignored my long posts. How can you say that no one can react to it?

2. I'll keep that in mind.

[Akroma]

the problem is the flow of the conversation, the causality is thrown out of the window




A sais (1) to B, which causes B to say (2). A reacts to (2) with (3), causing B to say (4), repeat ad nauseum until a conclusion has been reached.


now suddenly W comes in and sais (alpha) - (omega) in reaction to (1), (2), (3) and many more things. But in a proper conversation, (alpha) would have likely changed (2) to (2)' or would have taken the place of (2) itself, prompting a (3)', etc


in the end, the moment (alpha) is inserted, (2)....(n) no longer make much sense. The only thing that can properly be adressed would be (omega), but (omega) only exists as a reaction to (1)...(n) and (alpha)..(omega) standing as they are, without any ever influencing the other. So (omega) makes no sense, it would have to be (omega)'.


a good example was when Stella reacted to a conversation between Will and Hainuwele, where her (Omega) was ARE YOU NOT LISTENING


while, had the conversation been following causality, (omega)' would have been the result of Hainuwele actually reacting with (2)'




it might not bother you, but dear god, it bothers me immensely. Time paradox posts have no dynamic

[Empiricist]

((Actually, it's based on the concept of false vacuum metastability events which are hypothetically possible. The only real variations are that it possesses some sort of will of its own like the other concepts and that the cosmology automatically prevents such events from wiping the entire universe clean of life.

Ooh, a reference!
"You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book."
...Dang.
Also whoo another person megaposts.

(Possibly) Fixed link here. Not entirely sure how to link to a specific Google books page.

[Akroma]

speaking of google, plot about google buying all leading robotics and AI companies in the world and then taking over with ana rmy of robots when?

[Empiricist]

When an army of robots becomes actually practical a well as able to be secretly assembled, when AI programming develops enough for it to be capable of interpreting all sensor input and applied to a combat situation. Also, when Google and its employees want to. It's not like they need to, or don't have enough influence already.

[kj1225]

Maria doesn't care about anything that's been happening apparently.

[Xantalos]

Maria doesn't care about anything that's been happening apparently.

This is news how?

[GreatWyrmGold]

-snip-

The "Are you not listening" could, IIRC, have applied equally well to Will's statements, which covered much of the same ground.
And yeah. It's the worst system except for every other one that exists. After all, any other system often requires that characters ignore major events happening right in front of them, which is hardly ideal. You're complaining that "In this situation, Hai would have done 2'"; in this situation, Will would have said Omega. Same argument.

"Hm... I know! Yous take empty pwot over fence!" Meme is talking about the massive plot of empty land past the fence of Maria's yard. Its like the houses just surrounded the area but its all fenced around, though there are small holes between the planks that the fingerlings could easily walk into.

Wait what? I thought Maria lived in some kind of residential neighborhood.

((googling patty cake gives me a bunch of porn, sooo...what?))

Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man [?].
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Pour it, and something, and [something with rolling?],
Then put it in the oven for baby and me.
I didn't even play that as a kid and I know the rhyme. Where are you from, anyways?

((Only Dex is needed for making things. Mind is for blueprints.))

((Which results in the realization that cooking requires more rolls than assembly line creation.))

Presumably at a higher DC.

Now that legal land aquiring is on the way, Hainuwele is bored, and teleports to wherever Kyle ran to((unless you can only bracelet-teleport to other bracelets?))

You cannot do that, for the reasons you mentioned. Even if you could teleport to things other than bracelets...how would you know where Kyle is?
