Happy Birthday, Einsteinian Roulette!  I hope it's not your last.

And thank you, Piecewise, for all your great games, even Beyond ER.

[Radio Controlled]

So PW started it on April fool's day.

Which means he's been planning the whole thing.

Which means that this turn, it'll be revealed that the entire plot was a metaphor for the American political system, UWM as the Republicans, ARM as the rising democrats, Steve as Roosevelt, (the wheelchair bound upper class figure striking at the system supporting their class interests, gaining the support of the poor [and electorally the black] - clear analogy here) (also anagram of "Rool Steve") and the Lurker as Donald Trump.

Which I guess makes Miya Obama. Or Maurice.

And Saint Hillary Clinton.

I could live with being the Obama equivalent. There's much worse on the american political landscape to be compared with.

wait and if the CSU is like the USSR then does that make Jack like Gorbachev?

Well, Communism is socialism plus electricity, and Dubley does have an electro cannon...

((Dang, the one time pw updates our missions early is when there's a crazy plan in the works and I'm not in time to respond to it. Oh well, we're committed now, might as well :v

Turn coming later.))

Hey, I don't see what the problem with the plan is. It worked, didn't it? The nuclear blast threw the bombers off course and bought us time without triggering their automanipulator shields.

And it's much better than doing nothing and twiddling our thumbs, wasting time while waiting for someone else to come up with a better plan and/or the bombs to drop. If you are really think it's too dangerous to even try to fight, then the rest of you can always go hide from the bombs in the palace.

If you're referring to my current plan, then sure it's not exactly *does exaggerated airquotes* saaane, but its insanity is mostly just descriptive in nature, giving piecewise something fun to write about and describing the plan in a fun way. The plan itself itself is simple and solid. Go up there and bypass the shuttle shields, either by shooting them from behind, if that is possible, or (more preferably) by bypassing its automanipulator shield, possibly by matching speed with the shuttle and using the fact that automanipulators are triggered by specific conditions to slowly fly through it.

If I manage to get through the automanipulator shield, then great, there are now a number of things I could try, like hacking the other shuttles or simply telling Miyamoto where the automanipulators are located so that you could try to melt them with radiation or whatever.

If not, but I manage to shoot and destroy the shuttle, then great, one less bomber to worry about, a little more time bought, a few civilian lives saved.

And if I fail, being in the air is by definition the safest place to be when bombs are being dropped.
Well, you know, unless I get shot.
But that's always a possibility in war.

Eh, I needed some more info before I could decide and explain the plan to the rest IC (which would have meant taking on the enemy shuttles 1 or 2 at a time via portals, using Flint and Pancaek (and maybe Lars) to get in close and bypass their shield/shoot their engine/use solid light thingie and then store the disabled shuttle somewhere (pocket dimension or in the ocean somewhere). Vaguely resembles Flint's plan in a way, but much more controlled and less mid-air acrobatics, and with a task for everyone. And should prevent their automanip from taking damage or overloading, or even activating at all (and thus maybe drawing the attention of big L). But eh, it's been some time since Flint got to stand in the spotlight and try improbable things, and we won't have many more chances for that pretty soon, so might as well watch the fireworks.

Too bad I rolled so bad for the shuttle displacement though. Placing portals should be instantaneous, but a bad roll is a bad roll.

[Pancaek]

Yo, I went to a convention yesterday where they gave out these codes for a random legendary bird pokemon in pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. Since I play none of those games, I was wondering if any of you lot had any interest in it? I think it might only work for PAL zone countires/accounts or something, but I'm not sure.

[Twinwolf]

What's PAL?

[Pancaek]

What's PAL?

Not murrica. I don't know the details about which countries it encompasses exactly, though. It's basically the whole nintendo region locking thing again. So, if I had to guess, the code only works for the region that europe is in. It doesn't say so on the little card they gave me though, so it might work in burgerland as well.

Region locking is such a goddamn annoyance. They do it with DVDs too, so I can't buy myself the box sets of "QI" without also buying a damn dvd player for europe.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Yeah...i never got region locking just sounds kinda stupid...

[Yoink]

I have Pokemon X... still need to get around to finishing it.
Who knew just how helpful a quest log could be? >.>

Aldora? I think my gf might have a PAL OR/AS, that would be pretty cool.

[Gentlefish]

I would yes like it please.

[Pancaek]

Yeah, it's the random articuna/zapdos/moltres one. So Moople and Gentlefish are interested. Were you also interested, yoink? I'll just use random.org to decide who gets it.

[Radio Controlled]

The parade of failure continues! But the question remains, will they be able to top the previous island?
