It's already fitted with a password no one knows, but all it does is stop anyone from accessing it during the night, if they want to view my computer, they can and will do it.

Anyways, I'm not particularly inclined to continue this discussion, if Skype isn't doing anything stupid it should be working right now, what's your thingamajiggy-name-whatsit?

((You can seize admin control and stop them from viewing during the day.))

lukesf22 is the thing you should be searching for in the search majigger. Screenname is Neri and the avatar is the same as here.

[SOLDIER First]

Purrhaps you should passlock your computer, acquire admin control via various means, and prevent parent from touching compy?

No.
No no no.
With a certain kind of parents (mine) this would be death if done to the family computer.
Still death if they used a personal one of yours, too.

Finally got around to doing a combat test.

Conclusion:Everett Owen should stick to space engineering and most certainly not get into lethal bar fights with angry sword+shield wielding giant lizards.

[Aseaheru]

 Being in a barfight is not something Everett would do. He would probably run off to somewhere where he can use his rifle and, well, use it.

[IcyTea31]

If only time would unfreeze so Rook could talk his way out to avoid that bar fight entirely.

Wink wink nudge nudge~

_{(No rush, though. Rushed updates are worse than yet-to-exist ones.)}

[Happy Demon]

Wait, didn't Pippy get into another test fight?

[Andres]

The fight was cancelled because even after speaking about it with DivideByZero for a long time, I still don't know how to play an electricity-based character (Nivian). He gave me some techniques I could use but I couldn't figure out how to string them together and it was made worse by the fact that I just don't know how electricity works.

I can remember two things that came out of the fight. One: Goku is only fast enough to get 2 actions per turn. Two: Knight's armour was nerfed to make him only slightly better at movement, otherwise he'd nearly be as good as a 51.

Unfortunately one cannot choose their encounters all the time so it's possible to get into a fight in a bar without wanting to.

I will be seeing if Mr Secret Guy and take out Knight in special circumstances, I'll keep you posted.

Eh, electricity works very simply.

Spoiler: Simple explanation, and an example. (click to show/hide)

First, 3 things, U = R * I.
U = Voltage (Volts), the force of what's wanting to go through (this isn't the amount of electricity, it's the force it's pushing with).
R = Resistance (Ohm), goes without saying.
I = Current (Amps), how much electricity is flowing.
This leads into P = U * I.
P = Power (Watts), the electricity itself, knowing this is knowing the effect, like heat.

Then there's the polarities of electricity, which is even simpler.
Positive wont move, but attracts the negative.
Negative moves, and is attracted by the positive.
There's also a last thing, Ground.

Ground is neutral, and interacts with both, if it's in contact with positive, it acts as negative, and if it's in contact with negative, it acts like positive.
Though this is at about half the power, as it's already neutral.
Electricity doesn't like unbalance, that's why electricity flows, to become neutral.

All electricity strives for balance, and may achieve so, violently (short circuit).
Short circuit is a connection between positive and negative with little to no resistance.
Turn U = R * I into I = U / R, and since resistance is close to zero in short circuits, the current is very high.
And since Power is Voltage multiplied by Current, and Power is heat, that's why it often ends up generating enough heat to vaporize metal.

Actually, time for numbers.
Let's say we have an outlet with 230 Volts, an appliance may have 20 000 Ohm, so finding the current is easy.
I = 230 / 20 000 | I = 0,011 5 | P = 230 * 0,011 5 | P = 2,645.
Now let's say someone cut the live cord with a pair of scissors, the resistance would drop to... let's say 10 Ohm.
I = 230 / 10 | I = 23 | P = 230 * 23 | P = 5 290.
That's jumping from barely noticeable heat, to electrical furnace. And depending on the distance of wire from the outlet to the power plant, it can range from harmless, to fire hazard, to vaporized scissors.
