Meow's goal last game was to flavor reality with mirth and fear before feeding it to Uncle. This game he's been pretty blunt with his goal as it's not reality ending tier destructive.

[Vgray]

Uztot's goal is the same as ever, and I was actually looking forward to the challenge of trying to make the "family" get along.

[Stirk]

I had a pretty good goal in mind, but it was a bit... naff really. Quite hard on KJP too

Naff? I am sure it was, whatever the goal was. _{Silly foreign words...}

Considering the way everyone treated the Void in past games, I am surprised nobody has reacted all to the fact Meow(th) is related to the Void in a literal sense :p.

[hector13]

Naff = not very good.

Can also been used in place of an expletive, as in "naff off Stirk"

[~Neri]

I think that everyone basically decided they don't want to deal with the several dumptrucks worth of weirdness that's involved with everything Meow touches.

[hector13]

"Better" to ignore it than try to understand it.

I remember you showing Veles around your circus. It was weird.

[~Neri]

You thought the surface view was weird~? The rabbithole only got deeper from there~

[hector13]

I was going to ask more about it but then realized I was quite happy in my ignorance of it.

While we're on this trip through memory lane, am I the only who hates secret actions?

You are more than likely wrong. In fact, I would bet $YG20 that there have been multiple secret actions.

hint hint: mirrors. The mirrors are watching.

Philosophical zombies?

"I brrraaaiiinnnzzz therefore I am"?

Not quite. It's more like an aversion of "I am, therefore I think."

Broadcast: Mundane-like stuff (animals, vegetables, minerals): 0A+0E assuming they aren't excessively powerful/effective. This includes minor magic animals including giant insects our modern atmosphere would asphyxiate.

Andres: Would you rather have Shapeshifter nerfed to uselessness? I figure most people would take it for transformation to races/agents anyway, and the number of non-T0 races would make it rather expensive for something so ineffective.
        IC title: Oops!

hector13: Angels: By being called angels

Kilojoule Proton: You jinxed it about the Tick update

micelus: Not at all, steal as much as you want

Vgray: Yes

        Sword of Affliction and Boon: Major

Andres:

I don't mean broken in that it's OP, I'm saying it's broken in that of two features which are meant to be equal, one is superior to the other. I recommend buffing the inferior rather than nerfing the superior.

Eh, I stand by my reasoning that the bear is a powerhouse when compared to the goliath in a one-on-one unarmored and unarmed fight.

Size doesn't automatically make you stronger than all smaller creatures. Fire breath isn't that powerful, even if you go for realism.
Either it deals too little damage to down a bear (battle stats), or it can only be used for a second or two (realism, even if we accept it having gasoline).

[Rolepgeek]

Bear ~=~ Goliath. Depends on situation, really, I suppose. Plus, Happy Demon, you're forgetting the third part of that triumvirate.

Magic.
