Yes to both. I believe PW switched two people's bodies right before mission(s) 20 started, and I believe U_P has his original stored in stasis

Huh, interesting. So theoretically a player could have multiple bodies for different purposes, if they could afford it and didn't mind wasting tons of cash. For example, Miyamoto could get transferred to a different, non-crippled body when he didn't want to be in his Avatar.

It involves physically transplanting the brains of the bodies involved. Which means that for an unspecified length of time, the body piloting Miya's Avatar will be functionally dead. Which, to my knowledge, is capital B Bad.

I don't think it would be that bad. Just take the body out of the avatar, take the brain out of the body, put the body in a stasis pod, and move the brain to its new body. I'm obviously not an expert, but I don't think that would cause any problems. Except that he'd have to hide the enormous avatar somewhere safe, because if he didn't someone would steal it.

The Avatar of War is psychically linked to its pilot, and is sentient thanks to all the synthflesh. The pilot acts as a restraining bolt for it. If the pilot dies, or is taken out of the Avatar without the Avatar itself being dead, the whole huge mass of armored synthflesh and guns is going to go berserk.

So if Miyamoto got a body transplant, he would basically create a gigantic, rampaging demon with no centralized brain to destroy, extreme resistance to pretty much everything, some of the most powerful weapons currently available, and no weaknesses.

Well, it's good that Radio's the only player with an Avatar.

Do we have heads to mount on our robotic rebels?

Maybe we should equip him with a fail-deadly unit that will connect his Avatar to a universal amp should he die?

I was almost tempted to suggest having amp-bombs consisting of lumps of synthflesh with amps, until I realized that said bombs might just magic their way back over to us and murder everyone.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Actually, having something like an Avatar where it just becomes more dangerous if the person inside is killed really makes it more protected against amps and manips than any other possible protection, because if you have something that can penetrate nearly any armour, why would you kill the person protected by the armour if doing so would probably make the situation worse?

[Gentlefish]

I did that in the fangame. The current objective was "kill RC" and I did just that. It also just happened to unchain the AoW.

[Radio Controlled]

You guys got lucky, the gm there went by post order. I had an action which could've invalidated most other actions that turn, but it never went through. Oh, and he also forbid me from just nuking everything at the start.

Well, I was under impression that occasionally a pilot can be extracted from the Avatar. But the process is difficult and tiresome enough that it is not done lightly. Probably possible thanks to the special conditions of the hanger housing all the Avatars - Steve mentioned something about there being a back-up plan or something at some point, plus it's not like Avatars are granted sentience during the intering of a pilot inside one; all the ones in the hangar probably have their minds and wills, they are just kept 'asleep' somehow. That's my take on that issue, anyway.
Guess we'll have to ask RC directly, since he should know best of us. Needs to.

Avatars are kept in something resembling stasis tanks while they have no pilots. Xan's second clone was stored in the same room, before I chose to take his powers away.

Lars first order of business; head to the new Rec Room and reinscribe the Commandments of Steve on the wall.  All this talk of good/evil and alignments needs some grounding in faith!

> 1.Don't harass the crew or endanger the ship, lest I smite thee.
2. Complete the missions even if it kills you.
3. Other then that, Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

PS:  Crew refers to the NPC staff, not players.

Wel l this still gives me a chance to force new people to drink tea!

[piecewise]

Yoko Taro is getting to make a new game! And Platinum studios are the ones actually creating it?!

Oh god we're gonna get something insanely awesome and weirder then you could possibly imagine.

[piecewise]

[Hapah]

The hell is that, lol.

[piecewise]

The hell is that, lol.

Thats Yoko Taro. Thats how he presented his new game at E3.

Yoko Taro is an amazing madman.

[spazyak]

Would now be a good time to switch to the new player card since I know what I'm doing now.

((Does this mean I'm still fleshy? Do I need a new robo-arm? Is my Hive okay? Also, yay. Still alive.))

((And you're sporting a NEW Clingy Macguffin, one that'll fuck you up even easier than your old one as you just found out ))

Quick! Put the Shackle on the arm that has the Pyramid!
