YAAAY! TCM made a catgirl thug!
That is hilarious. And awesome.

((I still want to be at least semi-useful for the next mission, if I switch the gun and armour out for a keytar and amp, am I at this point able to provide buffs?))
((Amps do not provide buffs. They tend to provide death and not much more.))
This isn't
absolutely true, in the strictest sense. The mind control amps can provide 'buffs' insofar as you can forcibly remove fear from your allies, help clear mind control from their heads, and other things. The Fleshwarp amp can give buffs in the sense that they can help repair allies, and give 'buffs' similar to the blacklight virus. AUX can also 'buff' people in a manner of speaking, especially those with exoskeletons; You can create a HUD for people, and can override their movements using the exoskeleton.
Come to think of it, exery one of those methods is either a long-term goal for Saint, or he's working on it at the moment. I guess he's the closest thing ER has to a cleric, at least in terms of abilities. Or a psionicist.
I'm off to work on getting missions set up and working on the history thing. I'll see everyone tomorrow for movies.
Oh and TEN, people, I'll do a post for you either this evening or tomorrow during the movies. I just gotta get this stuff done.
Oh and seeing as we're about to launch a Player run R&D group, I figured now would be the right time to upload and post this. Just to see the effect.

Okay, yeah, that's just stupid. But what I'm more curious about is this: You said you uploaded that. Which means that's your youtube account. Which means, at some point, you made what appears to be a let's play of what appears to be a japanese pigeon dating sim.
...
These things are all true.
Really that profile started out as a place for me to dump a bunch of audio from a terrible dragon ball z porn movie that I was reviewing on this very forum. Also a reading of a terrible fanfiction.
Warning, I'm not very good at anything.
That book of short stories that Faith was reading- did you write the stories in it? I thought you did, but honestly, at this point that could be a fabrication of my mind.
Say, what time is movie night in GMT?
I'm starting it at around 9am pacific time, which is 7 hours behind GMT. So 4 pm GMT, I believe. And it runs for basically until everyone has had their fill.
Huh. I guess that translates to 12pm EST. That's way earlier than I expected. Good thing that it's on a day I woke up before eleven, I suppose.
And can someone check over this intended (eventual) loadout to tell me what it's missing or if it's stupid? Something like:
"Sibilus" Rocket/Gauss Hybrid Rifle (7 token) (hey look if i stay at long range i'm further away from my teammates)
Monoatomic Razor or Kinetic Amp (2 or 3 tokens) (just in case)
Longcoat (3 token) (is this useful?)
2/3 Exoskeleton (6 token)
Mk II suit (5 token)
This armoury seems seriously lacking in light armour. The cheapest actual protective suit is the battle armour at 20 tokens?
Drop the last two, and just go with an MK.III. It'll be cheaper than both, and with more power. And it gives the best armor in the game against space magic-
speed.
The reason there's so little non-tank armor in the game, is because of what we're fighting in most cases. Remember, the gauss rifle, 'small arms' in this world, fires a 20mm slug.
This is a video of a man emptying a real-life 20mm's clip. Then, take into account the fact that gunpowder weapons are inherently inefficient (most of the energy is lost to the gasses propelling the bullet), and that gauss weapons are just the opposite- there's no energy lost on anything aside from heating the coils.
The
heavy gauss cannon fires a 60mm. The cutting laser is around the size of
this guy's gun. It isn't that ER armor is rare, or bad, it's just that weapons are so (justifiably) overpowered as to make them almost entirely purposeless up until the point you're a literal tank.
And then you get into amps, where even a complete newb with a microwave amp can easily kill any member of the ARM, short of
Miyamoto, with a single dirt cheap blob of +60 degrees, as long as you have the element of surprise.
Applicable newbs:
Steve Saint
Thaddeus
Hasala Nabin/Felix Grant
Magilla
Dubley Steptimus
Jack/Theodore Catar
Magilla
Current newbie support fund:
3 laser rifles + 3 gauss rifles from defence
gauss sidearms and advances Mk.I from Flint
rocket launcher + 1 frag and 1 seeker rocket from Dudly
Piecewise, could you tell me the total value of this pool?
Now U_P, how about you? How many of those 10 tokens from the battlesuit gear (the one Faith killed) are you going to share with the newbies, as per our agreement?
And I'm guessing you won't be contributing the stuff from the boarding, like Paris and NAV did?
Can I take a single token from the fund immediately, so I don't have to sell my sub-exo?
