((And here's an exposition dump on the two three teams. Oh, the things I do to avoid studying.


F.E.C.E.S, as far as I know, is basically a comically evil group. Mostly made up of newly characters, if I remember correctly, but I suppose there could be a few secret members or something. They've basically announced that they're planning something, but as far as I know nobody outside the group knows a whole lot about what they're doing and how much of what they're saying is the truth.

TOAM is pretty new, and I don't think they've actually done a whole lot yet. I think the characters in it tend to be slightly more powerful and experienced, but that's neither here nor there. They're supposed to be the "good" group, though they're much too new to have backed it up.

The Whitehats... appear to be a one-man team for the time being. Basically devoted to anti-magic, although they don't technically exist yet. Probably nice enough, although the opposition to physics-defying shenanigans is a bit out of place here.))

((The Acronym That Shall Not Be Used wanted to destroy the tower, if I remember right. I shouldn't have to explain why that's an unpleasant thing to do.))

((No matter which way you look at things, the possibility of an Age of Guilds is very likely. Of course, according to the WhiteHats, it may be the Guilded Age.))

((Thanks everyone for all the little bits of help. I think that's hit on something for my aspect of physicality: giving magical energy physical form, including altering physical properties. With that little bit of help, I think I've got a very viable wizard here, with a choice between sealing people in magical cubes, augmenting his own strength with physical-ified energy, and sabotaging constructions by making them spongy, brittle, light, etc. I can probably get into the world soon, but I'd at least like to see how the current turn plays out before I start taking any actions. Thanks, everyone!))

((On the note of guilds, from what I've gathered so far, one guild involves being a stick-in-the-mud who obeys the laws of physics (nope), one involves being a stick-in-the-mud who picks up other people's messes (super nope), and being a relentless murder-hobo who kills and loots anything in his way (maybe). It's up in the air, but you've heard my picks. Heh. DF has such a great community.))

((I would suggest joining TOAM! Your affinity for physical stuff may be of great interest to a certain tinkerer/inventor/madman. For example, he would greatly enjoy having his stuff modified to have structural elements of what is essentially pure vibranium.

Speaking of which, vibranium giant robots, anyone? With extra SNIKT!!))

((Now all you need to do is start creating a super-heavy mesh of razor wire above things you don't like. Gory, to be sure, but it's a great recipe for mage slices.))


((As for guilds... Truth to be told, I've got an inclination to stay neutral. Certainly wouldn't mind it if someone wanted to partner up, but I'm reluctant to join one of the big groups.))

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

Clearly, you've failed the test- the correct answer is to not inform him of new ways to kill you.
