Muster up remaining strength and complete the current chapter. Bring the game to a logical close, then reboot it.

32 (37.2%)

Same as 1, but a whole new game will be started instead, still Multiworld, but no longer Madness.

9 (10.5%)

Get just this last turn done and reboot the game. No point wasting energy if updating takes so long.

31 (36%)

Get the last turn done and start a new game project.

I charge up the largest amount of telekinetic energy humanly possible and then use it to tear apart the cockpit on one of the approaching mechs.

[andrea]

I wish I was there with you. I am very good with attacks like the one you described. at least, I get the massive damage. Aim may not be good however last time I destroyed a whole hill just trying to open a box.

[Sean Mirrsen]

You are the epitome and ur-example of "No kill like overkill".

[deadlycairn]

You forget, Andrea, that not only did you destroy a whole hill, you also sent yourself flying into space and out of player contact, as well as damaging most of the party and their environs. Lets hope Jay does better than that

EDIT: Have read. As you can see, I'm still active. Takes me ages to reply though.

[Sean Mirrsen]

To some of the waiting list people, I want to point out that you have new PMs. Please read and reply to them.

Personally, I think you ought to be aiming lower, Jay. Taking out their legs is almost as crippling as the cockpit, at least at this distance.

Personally, I'll try to reinforce and expand my control over my TK power by practicing throwing dirt up off the ground. My goal is being able to throw something visible up from where the mechs are, maybe even throw off their footing if I'm lucky.

[andrea]

control? who needs control?

As the size of an explosion increases, the number of situations it is incapable to resolve approaches zero

I really must accuire some sort of powers eventually...

But now is not the time for that, except passively as a side effect of other options. Neither is this the right world for that. Maybe if I can learn the process behind inter-world travel at the end of this world, maybe then I could CREATE the physics I want...

But until then...

[Haika]

*sniffle* no PM for me... must be /that/ low on the waiting list...

>.> either that or you already know I'm active, so don't need to send anything.

The problem with that is that the legs are much tougher. You can go through several metres worth of solid metal or aim for the chewy centre...

[Boksi]

Yes, because there's no way you can stop them from moving or cause any kind of damage without completely ripping the legs apart?

I mean, what happens if one of those mechs falls down? It's not analogous to a human falling down.

[zchris13]

without completely ripping the legs apart?

It's the only way to do it.

[Zako]

Just aim for the knees, then we can storm the mechs while they struggle on the ground and take em over!

Raise a shield to protect us and then blast sand, dust and grit into their sensors to blind them.

Destroying the legs might lead to it still being able to lob missiles at us, which is less than optimal, while destroying the cockpit will hopefully leave the mech intact for later use by us while still putting it out of the fight.

[Boksi]

Hmmmm. I guess it depends on the make. I'm pretty sure some models have cockpits that are harder to hit than others; we're not fighting Gundams here so the legs are probably a bigger target. All we know is that at least some of them have LRMs, which isn't much help at all.
