Welp, roll tables, upon roll tables upon spreadsheets, my eyes nearly blew up. Some GMs put a huge amount of effort into their mechanics, it's pretty amazing, you not least among them, PW 

_{^{While I just roll speed, attack, dodge and end then roll more dice till I think someone's won.}}
 
Byw, what actually is the "house hunting" mission? Is it with the guys from limbo?

I think it's what the M23 team is going to.

[NJW2000]

Ah, thanks.

[Radio Controlled]

I love how most entries on the armory page are pretty ripped straight from the wiki with minor adjustments.

Rip everything -> replace 'tokens' with 'creds' -> it is my my original game, donut steel!

The copying is very blatant, though the gm does seem to acknowledge it's based on ER. Though 'based on' is a bit of an understatement, based on reading the OP.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Oh well, don't see how having another ER game is a bad thing, unless PW has a problem with that.
Heck, I might make a character for that game too.

[Parisbre56]

Well, you know what they say about imitation...
"A lawyer can get a lot out of it."

[Radio Controlled]

Starting to wonder if the gm from that game plays/played this game. Still, it looks kinda cool, like ER but with a more rigorous system. Kinda wondering now if we could find a character in that game that's the negaverse equivalent of someone from here. And is gender-swapped, for good measure

I even missed that the first time I read that thread. "Loosely based on the Bay12 RtD, Einsteinian Roulette" in the smallest font size in a place that nobody reads. brilliant.

Dude, you can just make a new b12 account and go into ER twice if you want to tinker more!

I'm sure PW would prefer that, anyway.

[Egan_BW]

We ought to sue them!

[Comrade P.]

That whole game is as "loosely based" on ER as my speech is "loosely based" on my thoughts.

Tries to be the same, but not quite all the time so, both unintentionally and deliberately in some aspects.
EDIT I'm just making an analogy here. Have no idea who the GM of that game is.

[Radio Controlled]

It gets a bit silly at times:

It's perfectly all right to buy things for allies if they don't have enough credits. This does not allow you to pool funds, however. Credits are unique to REKT and have no value in the real world - think of them as requisition tokens. They are completely non-transferable.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

Okay, just checked the first page of their main mission thread and I can safely say I am not gonna be participating there any time soon.

[Nikitian]

First things first: Ain't no me. (Yes, I've been lobbying for unified ruleset of ER, with hopes of running a spin-off one day, but it'd be set in ERverse, and certainly bow down much more to Piecewise the Great. All hail Piecewise the Great.)

... And a carbon copy one of the original ER character! Slightly obscured, of course. See until someone there catches up to the ruse.
Edit: Well, like RC put it. Except in reverse.

Well, you know what they say about imitation...

Yeah. And,well, anyway, it is clear as day that the GM isn't the Gloriously Magnificent Piecewise. Maybe he finds his style along the way, sure, but even the introductory part (almost word for word copied from HMRC) feels a bit... off. Dunno.
Steve comes out sarcastic and semi-introspective from the intro, SCAMPS just goes mean and arrogant. Hopefully that's intended by that GM.
Edit: (Agreeing with Comrade P. here.)

('scuse me) AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I just... I don't even... oh dear... OH NO, HERE HE COMES, WATCH OUT FOR THE AXE!..

((Just to be clear: The idea is fine, I've myself contemplated it sometimes on overly long missions, and I agree that more people enjoying the original rather than imitations is probably good for Piecewise. The big problem? It means more Tinker for Piecewise. Unauthorised, extra Tinker. ...I am sure you can see the consequences just as well as me.))

Xan invasion commences

Well depending on if I like what I see when I read it.

[Nunzillor]

Huh, I'll take a look at it.  I wonder if it's any good?
