It depends on how you define "massacre."  You could just give everyone Fusion Instigators.

Like the person in the VR is doing the massacring. Like a protagonist in a kung fu movie through mooks.

Id say poacher, as the hunter, in a crowded mall, with HMRC members as backup.

Now we're talking friendly fire!

But yeah, assuming we can make somewhat fair pairings and keep the fighting in VR, there should be minimal damaging friendly fire. Assuming one can control ARM members, of course.

Even if you ignore friendly fire you still have an altered running around with the ability to infect or eat the civilians and a bunch of highly paranoid and mostly incompetant soldiers firing heavy weapons every which way causing collateral damage and severely compromising structural integrity.

Enter VR.
Spawn a UWM squad, complete with battlesuits and exoskeletons.
Spawn self as arbiter of peace.
? ? ?
Massacre!

Html (essentially a web page. Uses JavaScript) and around 120 Kibibytes.

Well that seems reasonable... wait, how big is a kibibyte?

Also which thread was it in? Im trawling the OOC but no luck finding it yet.

Not much different than Kilobyte in most not-scientific contexts. Just a bit of IEC propaganda on my part.

That reminds me of my informatics teacher once insisting that there are 1024 MHz in a GHz. Good to see they're trying to solve that particular issue!

I always thought these kibibytes were called kilobits and that 1024^^x measuring systems only applied to storage not performance. Oh well.

I think there was an xkcd comic about standards that describes the situation very well.

So I've been kicking this idea around for a while (read: a day or two) and it came up on the plug.dj channel, so I figured I'd make a post here.  I was thinking of recording a theme song of sorts for ER, either covering an existing song or writing a new one.  I can't really play keys that well and I can't write lyrics to save my life but I'm a decent composer and bassist, so if there's enough interest I'd love for other people to get in on this and contribute to the song.  Are there any musicians or songwriters playing?

Bit late but volunteering anyway
I can play the piano at the 5th Grade level if that helps, can compose to some degree but generally compose pieces that would be impossible to play... damn you sibelius and your perfection for getting my hopes up
