Unless those wings break physics
Why not?

He grew wings after taking a pill made from meat. I think they break physics.

If they are big enough it might be possible, and even if they aren't we can add an extra set of limbs and I'll still be one step closer to becoming  an angle of death.

@Radio Controlled: A) Does our team get a pocket dimension remote? Or did you buy one?
B) I think you misunderstood how the pocket dimension works. You can't use it to teleport things. You just call a portal to your location. You'd need to have both people have a remote in order to create a portal between them. So unless we all have pocket dimension remotes, I don't see how you can use it to move us around. Edit: Unless I fly around and open multiple portals, if that's something that can be done. Edit2: Or I could store you in the pocket dimension and deploy you when needed. Then I'd have a literal tvtropes:"Party in my pocket"

I think that people complaining that the Thread What Is For Making PWs Life Less Hellish Than 39 Players In Simultaneous Missions Already Does doesn't let them speak in their favorite color is a little petty, to be honest.
I'm not complaining about it not letting me use my favorite colour. I merely found it confusing and hard to use and suggested a way that I think would be better. If it is something meant to be used by us and not piecewise, then it makes sense to see if other people feel the same as I do and if so change it to something better. I can't do that without stating my dislike for it.

I thought he took a pill with wings in it. So unless those were  chicken wings...

I'm fine with you guys using it how you like. My guidelines were more suggestions on how to prevent it from becoming an unfollowable cluster fuck.  If you guys can post and keep up on whats going on doing it how you want, thats more than fine by me.




Mission threads are up.

OOC guys. Use either OOC or communication threads for this. Do it for piecewise.

@PW: Nah, it's cool. Most other people seem to be fine with the system, so I'll just try to adapt to it.

Con.
Aux is for things you program, drive, fly or otherwise operate.
Con is for death tubes you point at things you want to die and then pull the trigger.

((PW asked for people to keep chatter out of the mission threads. they're doing it right.))

Oh, I was under the impression it was specifically the radio chatter thread. Just seems like with unformatted (as in, without the team name, the name of the person/group addressed and the one speaking) informal back-and-forths the point of the thread (which is to provide a good way for the threads to communicate in an orderly fashion) isn't really being served.

Though I guess it cuts down on these same back-and-forths in the mission threads, leaving only room for manful action, so who can say, really? I guess you could say that Cthunkan is just asking half-OOC for the newbie teams to shut the fuck up already, then.

EDIT: not to mention that the swaths of purple start with a question for Firestorm and Blizzard, so you could take it as Hurricane (Pneuma, I think?) starting to speak on the inter-team frequency, then others joining in. I certainly did, anyway.

Ah.  I apologize for the confusion.  In the future, I will make sure to prefix communication appropriately.

As for the unformatted purple, that is the correct syntax for intra-team speech.  Per pw, "Ones without prefix will be assumed to be addressing their whole team."

I'm currently just rol playing my character, or at least trying to do so more then I was before, who still barely understands anything about modern technology.

It's mostly just me being irritable and not reading any of the extra rules beyond what's written in the radio chatter OP. Mea culpa, I suppose.
