@Radio Controlled Hey, figure we could wrap the trial up today? Just checking if you'll have time this evening.


@Piecewise If you are reading this, and have a couple spare minutes, please check your PMs. Because if RC is fine with that, I'd like to finish everything by tonight.


@IronyOwl Yeah, sorry, kind of got caught in other things here. Also, the Id Manifester works OOCly by the player giving Piecewise 3-5 words describing their character, and he decides the specific manifestation based on that.

A description of Faith's will, unrestrained by reason if I recall correctly.
So Pancaek was "Underwhelmed, Smug, Supreme, Wizard, Commissar", while Auron was "Greedy, possessive, vengeful, pragmatic, tenacious".
So I guess Faith would be "Pedophilic, Cannibalistic, Timid, Worst Medic, In love with Milno" :P

@IO: You have to give piecewise three to five words that summarize your character so he can assemble your manifestation. I think Faith's might turn out similar to a certain bipedal brown bear.

The problem with kinetic amps is exactly that their output is randomized, which is a fairly severe loss in reliability: one moment it might deliver a hit that's slightly stronger than the force put into the blow, and in the other it releases enough energy it also gets the user killed.

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

Id Manifester: What words? Armory don't say nothin' bout no words.
You need to give pw 3-5 words that describe how your character sees him/herself. Doesn't have to be the reality, just how he percieves himself to be. Then from those 5 words pw will cook up your very own persona stand manifestation

For example, mine were: Underwhelmed, Smug, Supreme, Wizard, Commissar. And out popped Comrade Dimitri.

Edit: ninja'd. Twice.

I wonder if berserk mode would affect or even temporarily alter her manifestation.

Neat. "Hotpants, Delicious, Children, Loot, Malpractice" it is!

But uh, which one exactly is it? "Your character" in general, how they see themselves, or their pure will unfettered by reason? Also does Eric get a stand too

and in the other it releases enough energy it also gets the user killed.
...they can't actually do that unless you're punching a fuel tank or something, can they? Like, just generate such absurd levels of force that the blowback kills you?

I wonder if berserk mode would affect or even temporarily alter her manifestation.
Also a really good question. Unfortunately unless that sod-berserk project came through it's probably a unique situation I'll have to test myself.

Probably the latter, Pancaek's going to remember it better than me since he actually uses it after all.

I guess it'll be "HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH."?

Remember that time you kinamp-punched the ground so hard it acted like a high-yield bomb going off?
All that needs to happen for that to happen with a tap is for maurice's ex to set the dial from ^2 to ^10


On another topic, how far away in years is the planet? Have we only been operating in local space since Heph went up? There was a 100-year jump at one point.

How they see themselves, IIRC. Since the manifestation is basically your subconscious made material.

Can we ask PW to make Id manifestations without buying the Id manifestor? Like if he ever gets free time to do it or something.

This is indeed a really important distinction. And yet none of you have asked about it, or if you did it was on IRC. I shall promptly ask about it in the poke thread.

I'm pretty sure that if I use up any more of pw's attention right now he has legal justification for hunting me down for sport.

@Radio Controlled Hey, figure we could wrap the trial up today? Just checking if you'll have time this evening.

I doubt it, I'm almost out of computer time, but maybe if Cael responds quickly it'll be over by tomorrow.

Daaamn. I really hoped tomorrow on exam I'd be free from this "on trial" anxiety.  ;)
Oh well. Thanks for the reply!

((I was told maurice was deciding pay... Oh god our military simulation has started to run into internal bureaucracy issues!))
((He will list the mission payments as he is thrown down the Ultimate Pit of Endless Torment for his unspeakable crimes.))
They should just overload a manip and ask the Lurker for its opinion on mission payments when it arises from the calamity.
