Wait, come to think of it, does the nature of the actual weapon actually matter? For example, does a sniper rifle gain penalties a close range due to its long barrel? Do pistols suffer from their weaker projectiles relative to rifles? Does using a scythe gain penalties due to scythes being gardening tools with an impractical shape for combat use? Do trained combatants gain penalties against scythes due to having no idea how to fight someone attacking them whilst wielding gardening tools with an impractical shape for combat use?

Did you read the TvTropes page for wielding scythes?

As a matter of fact, I haven't. I only ever use it to gain a brief summary on works of literature mentioned in other threads.

Ah, well, you should read it. It did have some on the practical modifications to scythes. Also there is a book detailing how to fight with one if you look.

What'd I miss?

Also, Captain America:  Winter Soldier is a very good movie.

Agreed.
ROTMG: Not much IC or OOC.
KS: Might be taking requests for the next story.

KylexEveryone comedy subverted smut fic. It has to happen.

Best way to adapt a scythe; stick pointy bit upwards.

@kj Possibly.

Then it's a war scythe which is a type of makeshift halberd rather than a gardening tool.

Wait, is the Order only attacking magic users? Or are they attacking supernatural creatures such as the flocks of dragons and the Grim Reaper?

[GreatWyrmGold]

random thought, HF blades cut things at molecular level. If you actually cut molecules at their bonds, you'll be creating a lot of free radicals. Free radicals cause cancer. So yeah, ICARUS blade causes cancer in those she cuts. Of course, this is usualy not the most prioritized concern for the victim...just a random thought

Um...do you care enough for me to point out the various issues with this?

"Makeshift"?

News vans arrive and attempt to fight their way through the impromptu police and gang barricades. Thankfully, the reporters don't get through yet. There are enough smartphones that the confrontation is making the rounds online, though.

Already? People are streaming this from their smartphones?

OBJECTION!
TL;DR: no one's getting out of there that easily.

That's pretty cool. Ainit the Innernet wunnerful?

((Busy writing KS RP fic, so might be less active.))

Thought you said KSP fic.
Aw.

((Ehhh, magical racism is overrated. Discriminating on skin color is one thing. Discriminating on the basis of being able to throw fireballs at you is a different matter entirely. xD))

Yeah. It makes sense.

Stella wants to do something about the Order, but is not very politically adept

The Order is in Brazil. Was--it dispersed--but still.


I made something. Thoughts?

I will point out that no magic unless it is already cast is immune to having the caster shot.

[Twi]

Pictures, vids, streaming, whatever it is it is a Big Deal.

Yes, yes the Internet is wonderful.
Also, did you see the news segment? I had fun writing that. And fun with Constanza's whole reaction to this in general.

EDIT: As an aside, yes, video of Constanza did get out there, albeit in low quality and more focused on the knights. Her hair is  still as atrocious ever, like Homura's style gone horribly horribly wrong. You might be able to recognize her from the fairly limited amount you saw back in...holy crap did we really have the Dumah plot only in February?!?!?

Oh also, just in case Ashley's katana's enchantment gets improperly overloaded or the Grim Reaper gets involved, does anyone know what happens to matter if quarks suddenly stopped exchanging gluons?

[Twi]

I do believe that is one of many ways for things to violently decompose at the microscopic level. So yeah, bad stuff. xD

[Empiricist]

Would it effectively stop the Strong-Nuclear Force, thereby in atoms getting ripped apart by Electromagnetic Force? That's what I assumed would happen, but I'm not too sure about the effects on the quarks, whether they'd scatter in some sort of super-low temperature quark-gluon plasma, or just fly away in a vague approximation of their original formations.

[Twi]

The strong nuclear force doesn't help much if the quarks stop being protons and neutrons, does it?

Contingency.

I'd call it explanation, but justification works.

1. Why would this matter?
2. Why would you make something that does something you don't even have a guess what it would do? At least shoot an email to whatif@xkcd.com first...
