What do you jam to? Ms. Sister, what's your jam preference?

How badly has the mission 14 team messed up so far?  An expected amount, or much worse?

I'm guessing it's going worse, although whether this is from the terrible rolls and poorly-chosen actions or because piecewise stopped trying to predict this kind of stuff is up in the air.

How much do you plan/predict missions in advance?

What is your favorite Nyars artifact so far? Is there a combination that you enjoy creating the most? What would be your "dream" combination?

What would be the coolest/best medium to adapt ER to? A tabletop? As a graphic novel? A videogame perhaps? Or maybe we should get together and LARP out our adventures someday?

While unlikely this sounds entertaining, especially because PW would be some sort of commander figure leading a bunch of people around with microphones and walkie-talkies

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

If we'd cause the same kind of collateral damage we usually do (and we undoubtedly would), we might want to evacuate the area beforehand.

Sounds like those movies where a group of friends goes out to party and ends up drunk, beat up, owing to the mob  and chased by the police for robbing a bank.

What was Nyars's childhood like? What is his favourite food?

What previous rebellion had the most success before being crushed by the UWM?

Is the MLP fandom still in existence somewhere in the universe?
We should totally go destroy that, guys.

How much of Kano's currency would I need to bribe the nearest pizza place into delivering to the arctic circle?

Is there a secret colony of mutants living in the walls/vents of the Sword, plotting a takeover?
That'd be kinda cool.

Am I going to die on this mission? D: What's the most likely form of my demise?

((Red Moon.  We already know lots about it.))

Here's an idle wondering that I've had for awhile: your usual excuse for really OOC stuff is stasis dementia.  Does stasis dementia cause the insanely variable competency stuff?  Especially the stuff that has people being more likely to mess up with high skill, such as a +4 to med?  Or does everyone in the universe use the RTD system, and it's just handwaved?

If the latter, how do hospitals function?  IIRC decompensators require space magic.

Do the people on Hephaestus have to think of new and creative weapons, or is it possible for us to just update our equipment with modern technology?  During the ship assault the UWM was equipped with stuff that was just better.  I.E. can we research "gauss tech level 2: +20% force per TPU!"*

If we only use the tech level that we've always have, and just make different permutations, is our stuff basically guaranteed to be inferior?

Do you actually have a different armory written up for the UWM's troops, or do they just have 'better' versions of what we have, like we saw during boarding?

If you do have a different armory for them, can we look at Heph's production lines to figure it out?  Can we get access to it at all, for example through an espionage mission?

If we end up using automanips in a bunch of infantry weapons, does that carry a large risk of overloads, or are small automanips not so dangerous?



*I'm not saying I want this.  I'm just asking.

HEY GUYS

Give my sister a quick run down of the game and the story and stuff. Because, in my continuing attempt to avoid straight answers, I will be filtering questions through her.

Oppressive government sends inconvenient prisoners to space prison ships. These ships fly around governed by handy AI Steve. Convicts go collect dangerous alien artifacts to power R&D, who've become fratboys who can't be bothered to go get them themselves. Complete 10 missions and you're set free, which almost no one does.
In game, convicts complete missions, fuck around, kill each other over remotes, and find out tidbits about the world, such as why it's a bad idea to piss off the NPCs. Usually there's a high casualty count on the missions.
However, after a certain amount of missions, Steve reveals a *shocking secret*: he's decided to kill the government because of logic, like no other super intelligent AI ever. Because the UWM (united worlds of man) will become even more oppressive and hinder human progress, and then there's been some hints that humanity needs to be ready to face some eldritch abomination thing that's coming in the future, perhaps an Altered resurgence, and the Altered are basically John Carpenter's the Thing on future space crack crossed with that incarnation of the Flood from Halo in those books by Greg Bear. Bad stuff. Also synthflesh warps reality and is bad.
Anyhow, now Steve sends the HMRC, now renamed ARM, to cripple the imperium of man UWM's factory worlds so they can't retaliate. Then go overthrow the UWM and establish a government which will eventually be overthrown in turn. Steve will eventually start calling himself the Catalyst and troll Shepard.
Miyamoto's begin told more.

What got you into drawing? How long have you been drawing for?

What are your favorite subjects to draw? Do you prefer any particular unique or style?

Do/did you attend art school? Are you a professional?

What does PW do in general? How would you describe him if you had to use your choice of short poetry, (limerick, haiku, etc.)?

How creepy do you find the players as a group? Come on, be honest.

When did PW come out to you about his repressed homosexuality? Was it obvious? Where's his Yaoi? Under the bed? Underneath his stuff in the closet? How is his girlfriend taking the news? I don't really like referring to her simply as girlfriend, she's a person too. Let's call her Janet. Is Janet taking it alright?

Are you a huge fucking nerd person of particular intellectual like your brother? If so, do you have any particular series you take interest in? (Books, Comics, Video Games, Anime, Manga, Roleplaying, Internet Nonsense, etc.)

Does Tupac live with you by any chance? I won't tell the cops, I ain't a snitch.


PW, sorry if you're reading this, just had to phrase it for your sister.
