that makes me nervous
why does it make me nervous

[ragnarok97071]

so, Are we cool now, can I post or whatever?

[smurfingtonthethird]

Yep.

I will watch in the shadows for OPness.

lol, equality for humans and AI?

if Icarus would find it actually feasible to pull off, she'd go for world domination by machines any day. Of course she is just artificial, that doesn't mean she has an IQ of 5000 and can just stomp the world. She is more or less forced into equality by being rather equal in her abilities, at least compared to high-end magical humans. Hardly any basis for world domination

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Equality it is.

[smurfingtonthethird]

Fighting for true equality always makes for a good plot... if it isn't corny. My guess is the majority of the AI's just want to be accepted, although like humans, there are always exceptions. I'll make it so speciesists and robophobes are chucked in the same bucket that racists are these days.

[Akroma]

there's probably less than 20 actual AIs out there in total. hardly a basis for equality

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Still, when all of those AI (HK, REI, ICARUS, HILDA?, Annie, Wheatley) are magic-capable and allied with the Northsdale group, you really don't want to piss them off.

[Akroma]

After what happened to Zhengara, I am sure nobody would ever want to piss Icarus off.

...The thread was locked... This can't be good.

What posts got deleted when I wasn't looking?

Also she has four dice of it.

Since we're not using GURPS, "four dice" is kinda meaningless. Innate Attacks--that is, ranged magical attacks--cost I think 15 points base; a Cosmic one would be 60 points.
Using the power tiers rules would let you reduce that, although it would let mundane and higher-level abilities block your attack.

And this is why we need to remove Pintsize shenanigans from her daily dose of Questionable Content.

I'm reminded of that speech I linked a few pages back.

Are you implying that it's impossible for extreme minorities to have equal rights?

"So you didn't notice the signs or the repeated military commands to evacuate the city?"

Or the swirling vortices of magical doom?

((In that case, you should have a ceramic edge, they're extremely sharp))

Ceramic is also brittle. You know what ceramics are, right? You're basically suggesting he give his diamond sword an edge made out of weapons-grade broken clay pot to make it less brittle.
You know what isn't very brittle? Metal (well, properly-smelted/forged metal).

"Nah, it doesn't care, because it can't actually care. It's like saying it's not okay to paint your car red, because it prefers being blue."

If my car was sentient, that would be problematic.

"We think alike and have the same personality, but that is coincidence."

I would have gone with "...but that is by my choosing" or something along those lines.


This game is...less fun than anticipated. What a shame.

[smurfingtonthethird]

less fun than anticipated

*rolls on side*

We need to get back into some plots soon.

[Twi]

Hey, I'm TRYING to into space adventures here with Constanza. >:C

[ragnarok97071]

IA are variable. That type is 10 points/level at 4x cost for Cosmic, or 40 points/level.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

If the plots weren't either with Sanure, who's gone until tomorrow, controversial, or about committing international crime and suggested to the most lawful characters here....
