Happy birthday, glorious overlord!

[darkpaladin109]

Happy apparent birthday, PW.

[piecewise]

Thanks everybody, it means a lot to have so many good players and nice people around.

Now, back to hurting you.

[Phoenix Flame]

Heh, not sure if it's stockholm syndrome but I'll chime in too with a happy birthday PW.

[Toaster]

Now, back to hurting you.

And we wouldn't want it any other way!

[Xantalos]

Yay!

Also that stat configuration is surprisingly good for me, since I planned on doing things in those categories anyway.

[Yoink]

I just had an idea: we should take some citizens of Kano captive, and keep them for use in testing dangerous artefacts!

[kj1225]

That's horrible, inhumane, and most likely a bad idea. Perfect.

[Yoink]

I guess it could end badly, but I'd say the chances are... slightly lower than if we used them ourselves!
At least in the case of instant vaporization. Just have to be prepared for one of 'em stumbling upon some powerful superweapon and deciding to fight their way to freedom. Hrmm. Maybe we could trick them into signing a contract.

[renegadelobster]

Speech rolls? There's no way that could go wrong.

"Nothing I absolutely need to get now, sir. I can wait a bit."

Go back to the rec room, and go into VR. Set up a small and short realistically-random mission, with briefing and the ability to contact mission control. Using my current equipment, plus the mass manip amp.

Spoiler: Gorat 'Chin' Ivanos (click to show/hide)

Str 3; Dex 3; End 3; Cha 10; Int 6; Wil 15//Spe 0; Int 1; Han 0 (-1); Con 4; Unc 0; Exo 12; Aux 3 (+1); Med 0
Mk II Suit; Microwave PK Amp; laser rifle (fired once); 7 tokens: normal cigarettes; blue smokes; datapad (with platformer shooter); nanoghosts; shock trigger (with me); white skin-tight node-covered black-shell stasis suit worn under Mk II.
Appearance: 5'11'', 170 pounds in a rather unmuscular frame, shoulder-long brown hair, short goatee, brown eyes, a rather long chin that earned him his nickname. Age 32
Half a robot foot. Robot right arm. Wears basic clothes when not in the Mk II.

IIRC, the last time someone asked the VR to randomize something, they ended up fighting a cactus.

Putting in 'realistic' will likely only exacerbate that.

[Empiricist]

Actually, they were the one who spawned on the dark side of Europa as a seven-foot tall cactus armed with their laser rifle. Their enemy was the sentient bowl of fried noodles.

Edit: Quote.

A random scenario. And use the blueprint.

You chose random.

The simulator buzzes for a moment and then shows a loading symbol. The world loads and you are a 7 foot tall cactus with the laser rifle jammed in your branches fighting against a sentient bowl of chow mein noodles on the dark side of Europa. Huh.

I think I actually was the last one to use random without a qualifier (on purpose), and I believe I ended up fighting on the ceiling (not the roof, the ceiling) of the Sistine Chapel against a truck or semi-truck. I have used constraints in the past and ended up with more reasonable simulations, so I'd hope that it'll hold this time as well. Of course, ER has a wider range of realistic than reality does.

Ed: Good thing I still had my amp:

Enter the VR, set up a random duel.

You end up in a duel vs a semi-truck with a nailbat taped to the front. You're armed with a rubber Tuna. The arena is the roof of the Sistine chapel.

[smurfingtonthethird]

Gentlemen, I propose, when we all get back on the ship, we get into one VR session and randomise it.

[kisame12794]

This is best idea.
