2/ to not actually go there at all (because etc.) but instead send everyone there whilst he complete the deal and leaves OR JUST SITS ON HIS SHIP WAITING FOR US TO WALK INTO ANOTHER TRAP OH GOD HELP.

oh god oh god oh god that's why the shuttle blew up

Still wouldn't explain exactly why, though. Fuzzy said he was unaware the message was broadcast at large, so either Fuzzy was wrong or Varkonius shouldn't have been expecting company.


I also say we ignore the civilians and captives unless we're loading them onto the sled for when this place blows up. We're in a hurry and they're likely to be out longer than we're planning on sticking around.

Comrades. There are two reasons for Varkonius to buy a goat. 1/ he's a bit eccentric. 2/ he needs to feed his panther.

However, there are two reasons for him not to, in fact, buy a goat. 1/ to set up a trap on the surface because he knows lots of people are after him. 2/ to not actually go there at all (because etc.) but instead send everyone there whilst he complete the deal and leaves OR JUST SITS ON HIS SHIP WAITING FOR US TO WALK INTO ANOTHER TRAP OH GOD HELP.


Why don't we just give up the life of violence and money, and instead roam the stars busking peacefully for the rest of our days? I don't want to die yet!

While I do believe Draig is very schemy with details, I would really REALLY caution going two steps ahead in the same :3
If this happens--IC it! We won't die unless we're thoroughly unprepared.

...And I do believe we're not yet in that stage because my sensors aren't being silly with anything :O

E: Also edited my post for clarity so people can quickly shoot messages back at me
Or, drop that realization you've got, La.

Sorry guys, I've taken a bit sick, and I desperately need to get some life stuff done tomorrow (I hate adulting), so turn will be a bit delayed.

In the meantime, enjoy this. It's cool, violates the laws of physics, and has been tickling my sci-fi (EXCEPT IT'S REAL) itch like nothing else. Heck, it probably means that Bore drives work by pilot wave manipulation.

[Chevaleresse]

okay that's neat as fuck

Living in the future is weird.

Living in the future is weird.

Draignean is painting his works by unconfirmed-confirmed science o_o We are living in the future's future at this point.

[Draignean]

The differentiation of science-fiction and fantasy (to my mind) is that fantasy plays with what definitely isn't, and science-fiction plays with what may yet be.

Remember, The future is there, looking back at us- trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become. (Props to Gibson)


Now, turn, it's been a bit, so I'll try to put something SMALL out later today, or at least get it started. SMALL, you hear me?

[IronyOwl]

SMALL, you hear me?

Yeah, sure, sure. Just like your combat mechanics are going to remain SIMPLE, right?

[Draignean]

Shut your dirty mouth. They're absolutely no hint of a complexity explosion being swiftly hidden here!

*Draignean storms off to look for painkillers, clutching his head. In his haste, a sheet of internet slips free of his magic binder. It has 'rejected' in various languages and idiomatic expressions stamped all over it.

Before we know it, the entirety of the gameplay will be extremely complicated logic puzzles. You'll need a mastery of every programming language out there just to submit an action. Even the updates will be concealed behind a cipher one must solve before they can start interpreting what happened on a given turn.

[Draignean]

Sloppy and probably crappy update away.

Oh yeah, this reminds me. To finish with the reactor, solve this puzzle:

1. Each circle with number must have as many lines from it as the number in the circle.
2. It is not allowed to have more than two lines between two circles.
3. The lines can not cross eachother.
4. All the lines must either go horizontal or vertical. It is not allowed to draw lines diagonally.
5. All lines must be connected.



((Yes, I'm joking.))

[Digital Hellhound]

Pfft, easy. I solved it in like five minutes. Just gaze upon my genius.

(Cue the reactor meltdown.)

This is why

A) Boris is our engineer
B) Nobody else goes down there ever

[lawastooshort]

Didn't Aubrey reply to Kesari's message? I thought so. Anyway.

@Draignean: inb4 soneone actually solves it
