Man, we should make Xan ERs mascot at some point, hell, he already represents it pretty damn well.

Insane and (somewhat) immortal?

If I had to say, probably the insanity, being too stubborn to stop struggling for his lofty goals in the face of an uncaring and sometimes outright malavolent universe, his hilarious incompetence in some matters while being unnecessarily skilled in others, and his propensity to be more of a danger to his teammates than the actual threat the mission poses despite being a medic.

And his way of somehow becoming even less human as time goes on, going from insane sociopath human to an slightly less insane sociopath amalgamation of limbs.

Don't be fooled, he's just as insane as when he started, he's just better at not showing it.

I've been wondering, why did he give Eddie a token?

The only thing I need to buy right now I don't have the levels/money I need until after this mission, and with my capacity to do medically bankrupt things that hurt very badly with my many arms, I'm relatively safe in loaning my tokens out temporarily provided I get them back right when I need them. It effectively purchases goodwill amongst the union members as well, which could benefit me if I have need of a large number of bodies in the future.

Alive bodies, you understand.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

This is to prevent Syvaris syndrome.
:(
But... What if some of us enjoyed the elaborateness and level of sophistication coming with "Syvarris sydrome"? Is it really that troublesome on your end?..  ::)
Syvarris syndrome wasn't about being over elaborate or too sophisticated.

It was about doing 15 things in one turn with no character interaction. I don't mind us getting into in depth stuff, what killed me was that fact that no one seemed to do it as anything more than straight questions to me. Except for that one time with Sean.

So you can still be granular as hell (Though it's not like armor thickness is the kind of thing that will really come up, I think) you just have to do it in a different way.

Hey, and what about that one with me? (You know, the case which RC is probably still grumpy about? :P) There was some honest-to-GM experimentation, and even great potential danger involved (in some parts of the experiment), as we learned afterwards.

(My main concern is that at some point personal presence and endangering yourself for the sake of science don't make sense anymore - e.g. when you are conducting an experiment in space, at astronomical distances, or when you know that the environment is so hostile that hanging around is suicidal/harming, etc. Would you still insist on "being there, doing it yourself in such cases?)

Well it's not taking place in ER verse or in the future, so the best you're getting is robot arms.

Ever seen andromeda strain?

I'm honestly considering retiring my character right here, right now.

I'd so like to reserve a spot in that game. I'm still kicking myself for not signing up for infinite heavens as the first of the waitlist, long ago.

I just like games with staying power, and character interaction.

As usual, though, I know I am going to miss the start by virtue of being asleep when it goes up.

Oh, and IC knowledge get: The Short Version. So, yay!

You can still waitlist, you know. And some miraculous day far away from now, you'll get in.
