Alright guys, I think I'm gonna have to change the post schedule. Summer classes plus my sister coming to stay means my time is stretched thin. So what that means is this:

Missions+DMR: Update 4 times a week, mon-wed-fri-sun
Tinker, heph, ship: tues, thurs, sat.

This should only last until my summer classes are over, at which time we'll go back to once a day for everything.

Acceptable. B12<RL
Thanks for the warning.

Ooh, and say 'hi' to your sister for us. Tell her it's from a bunch of lunatics in space

By the way, I've been meaning to look up the previous results of pill machine tests. Anyone have a suggestion for helpful search terms?

[Unholy_Pariah]

Spoon, nail, possibly Lyra, Gauss and pill together, xenospit...

Perhaps pill machine without quotations.

Edit: i think this is the first post in which a "poison pill" is ingested, seems like a good place to start if you want to search turn by turn.

NOMNOMPILL

You eat a pill made of nail clippings, gauss rounds and Xeno spit. Surely, SURELY nothing could go wrong here.

Blood pours from your mouth as enormous, ragged, sharp teeth burst from your gums, tearing the old teeth out as they go. Metallic scales form on your arms and legs and coat the limbs up until about the elbow and knee. And everything goes strange in your head. The world goes fuzzy and the briefing room keeps changing, sometimes full of people you recognize, sometimes empty, sometimes full, but of people you've never seen before. You stumble about,dizzy.

[GreatWyrmGold]

People have been talking about the pill machine a heck of a lot. Still...um...yeah, I guess there are worse places to start.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Bit of perusing using " pill" as a keyword (the space is important) turned up a few locations you might want to poke around near.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Lyra sand pill. Eaten before and after following pill.
Initially caused sluggishness and allowed pulse to be felt throughout enture body.
Later pills caused numbness in extremities and difficulty breathing followed by a failed endurance roll.
Ostensibly the body became sandlike and due to their granular nature the lungs were unable to absorb oxygen properly while the heart began to have difficulty pumping blood and stacy suffered a heart attack.
Might be something to do with multiple lyra pills being consumed.

Coffee and metal shavings pill.
Caused stacy to suffer from a constant coffee high making him bounce around all over the place and hyperstimulating his brain making will rolls a necessity whilst simultaneously turning his skin grey and flaky like a robot with dandruff.

Spoon pill. Eaten after following pill.
A 100 pound metal helmet-like dome appeared upon the consumers head.

Hair-bullet pill. I think. Eaten after following pill.
Caused wiggly tentacle hair and metal scales on limbs to grow into 50 lbs metal clubs
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=108083.msg4612140;topicseen#msg4612140

Gauss, nail, xenospit pill.
Caused large jagged teeth, metallic scales to form all along the consumers hand,forearm, foot and shin as well as causing constant hallucinations.
Area of affect for the scales and the fact the teeth became large and jagged may be related to the species that created the xenospit enzyme. Shape of scales may be resemblant of a toenail and caused by its inclusion.

GWG and U_P working together? Its a miracle.

GWG and U_P working together? Its a miracle.

And I'm happy for them both 

Incidentally, congrats to U_P for the detective work. Batman would be proud.

Much appreciated. What does the space do? Stop spills from showing up?

[kj1225]

Confuse you.

((Just flood the chamber with magma, or install a drawbridge.))

Two drawbridges. One to act as an atom smasher in case things go out of hand. And make the room rest on a single support in case it needs to be thoroughly purged.

EDIT: Oh, and Kriellya, check my sigtext.

EDIT2:

((All hardware now powered by microscopic dwarven water reactors))

If the micro-fusion reactors we're using are using water as fuel, then they really are powered by microscopic water reactors that "magically" produce energy.

Just leaving this here so that I remember to Tinker it up later: kinetic amp-powered bladed eggbeater of death.

[GreatWyrmGold]

We are not playing Dwarf Fortress, we are playing Einsteinian Roulette. And the kinamp-bladed-eggbeater-of-death idea has merit, but it's a bit expensive for what it would do.

[smurfingtonthethird]

Can we get a straight bladed-eggbeater of death, no amps required?

Also, Queensland has the worst education system. THE WORST

EDIT: Oh, and Kriellya, check my sigtext.

Very nice! Sig-box still doesn't like it (I suspect it's taking issue with the .php extension? Or maybe it's something on my end? I'm not sure... let me check, maybe I disabled sig-images... )

Ah, yes, checkbox to turn on sig images. yay! all good, thanks Paris!

Why?

Pretty much, reduced the search results to abot 13 pages and i think you start hitting the proper stuff by page 6.
If only i could search by author in a topic instead of the whole subforum.

GWG and U_P working together? Its a miracle.

Why so surprised?
Ive been pretty much the most vocal person about using the pill machine for stuff, you really think im gonna abandon my own personal desire to understand it just because i dont respect the current tinkerer for whatever reason?
