Hey PW, would you smite me if I asked you to do an ID manifestation without buying the manifester?

[Empiricist]

Id, not ID. It's related to Freudian psychiatry. Yes it's the part that probably involves the most phallus.

[kj1225]

I actually know how it's supposed to look, I just was in a hurry and didn't notice the mistake.

[IronyOwl]

Shhhh, pretend it was art all along. It wasn't an acronym, it was allcaps to signify its primal, implacable nature.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Everything will be art by the end of this mission, and im gonna steal it all.

....Also people, I've added the gunship vouchers to each team's nominal team leader...

Ulrich is nominal team leader? This is new.

[Radio Controlled]

Can we add incendiary ammo to the gunship?  Because everyone loves napalm strikes.

Yeah, should be doable as another missile variant.

....Also people, I've added the gunship vouchers to each team's nominal team leader...

Ulrich is nominal team leader? This is new.

Needed someone to dump those things at. 

But again, you can decide within your team who leads it or if you go without that, it's mostly for convenience sake (though the fact that merely having someone as a team lead usually means more coordination and restraint is a nice bonus).

[Empiricist]

It's a shame BFEL is no longer playing, I would have loved to have seen what STEPHEN HAWKING's Id Manifestation would have been.

restraint is a nice bonus

Pfffffffffffffffffft, these guys and their fear of officers with balls. Or maybe this is merely slight PTSD from the trial?..

 

(Though, to be fair, I do think these two kinds of people work best when tempered by the presence/advice of the other kind. Spoiler alert: That's why Maurice in the end so commended Ulrich's presence on M21 in the end, despite the obvious numerous disagreements. Or, say, Milno/Jim combination practically in any mission where they went together _{(other than M1, for obvious reasons)}, if my memory serves me correct.)

...
I'll contact him. If he responds to PMs.

[Xantalos]

So this is what he said in response.

STEPHEN HAWKING INVENTED MEMETIC MUTATION

...someone please give this to PW I want to see it manifest

[Parisbre56]

Just a notification that the http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Eater is now available for purchase.

I'll probably buy one once I figure out how much the things I want to buy cost.

[Xantalos]

I do think the words were intended to be descriptors, ie for my guy I'd put 'cautious, sociopathic, transhuman', etc.
But let's see if piecewise does something with the answer you gave.

Who said they AREN'T descriptors?

Ah fuck it, you're the only one who cares anymore anyway.
So here's my headcanon: STEPHEN HAWKING is/was a sentient meme. He was literally created around the "STEPHEN HAWKING invented X" thing I had going around in my head, his only impressive feat was done when everyone was cheering him on I.E. spreading the meme, and when people (namely me) stopped believing/caring about him he disappeared.

So yes "STEPHEN HAWKING" is a descriptor in this context because it describes what meme he is

[Nikitian]

So, the trial aside, I've been working with Piecewise on possibly offering the Doctor-like custom modifications (on a somewhat lesser level, of course - Maurice isn't the Doctor), and Piecewise asked, to quote:

I dunno, throwing randomness in there is a good idea but do you think anyone will want to put 8 or so tokens on something that might end up horribly disfiguring them? With eh Nyars boxes you might waste money but it won't just screw your character up without any chance to react.  Why don't you go ask on OOC and see if there's interest in that sort of thing, as is.

So, here I am, asking if you'd be interested in paying tokens to be horribly disfigured in an interesting and possibly very useful way.
Specifically:
You come and pay for a modification, maybe even provide the general idea of what you'd want (don't have to, but it's a good idea). I cook up an interesting way for that to be done, and send it to Piecewise. Piecewise rolls for how well the operation succeeded, and whether or not Maurice got distracted/carried away, resulting in a different modification (the theme still remains, but details and specifics may vary greatly - think May's transformation). In the end we have randomized custom robobodies/genemodifications that might horribly disfigure you, but can potentially be worth twice the tokens paid (yes, I'd be roughly comparing the project price equivalent in standard Armory items with about ~2x the price of investment, where applicable).
Speaking of the price, I'm thinking of offering two options: 4-token for more basic modifications, and 8-token for more advanced ones, slightly more likely to fail, but with greater potential and scope.

So, in short, good ol' Doctor-roulette, somewhat downgraded, and with "Terrible price!.." replaced with straight tokens, no strings attached. Would that be of interest to anyone?
(Hypothetically speaking.)
@Xan STEPHEN HAWKING invented being cool!

[kj1225]

Eh, it sounds way to expensive to me. Ecspecially with the downsides instantly screwing you.
