A name may be powerful, but simple words will not stop an army. Divert it, sure, but it's not going to stop them
hehehe
What are you laughing at?
I know something you don't
Oh for the love SPILL IT OUT!
Call in the rats!

edit: ah crap, ninja'd

[The Mad Engineer]

*Pic* DANCE!

DANCE!

DANCE!



((What tune do you think the rats advance by?  Post your suggestions    I will post the aftermath of the battle tomorrow.))

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

(I would have suggested "waiting for the worms" but considering what that song is like, that would be a BAD BAD idea.)

I suggest "Another brick in the wall, Part: 2." We don't need no thought control!

"I enlisted an army of the brave and I their general declared war.
 Poised with tooth and fire in paw."

That to, but it was not what I were referencing.
Think, what did we just do? We proved the existence of people and the moral relevance of the world. And we did this WITHOUT REQUIRING REALITY. That is, the argument still applies despite it being a work of fiction. This is REAL, these people do, in some sense, exist, because you are simulating them in your head. I even underlined Mad Engineer, that's YOU.
As i said, higher stakes than you bargained for. All authors really have it, but your choice of subect is forcing you to confront it.
I'm dead serius abaut this, it's not metaphor or exaggeration.))

As for music, perhaps something along the lines of Hall of the Mountain King, Carmina Burana (sp?) or Sabre Dance?

[Siquo]

No, rats are faster. More skittery. And these rats are... almost demonic. The tunes proposed are all too cliche by now. This is what I hear when I see this army go to war: Hypnoskull - Push>Eject>Return. (not for those with weak ears...)

The drawings, story and style are still awesome by the way. Thanks!

What we need is One by Metallica

I had hoped that we would be able to do it, but it is not the end of that particular argument.  I'm not saying you missed any bases, but we aren't quite done analyzing all the aspects of the questions posed.  That will come later.  To me, these characters aren't as real as the other people I truly communicate with, since I encompass their thoughts within my head, but to you all they are, since they respond intelligently.  That may change with the plans I have in mind.  I'm not quite done turning this story on its head.

An interesting note:  If John is philisophically real, and you, the forum, contribute to his thoughts and actions, what does that say about the mind in general?

Love the music ideas so far.  *Sigh*  If only I could animate this...

TRANSMITTING:

John, there is something we wish to ask of you. About all this, the voices in your head and us. What do you think of us? What do you think of all this?

[The Mad Engineer]

What do you want him to think?

[Tradanbattlan]

That we are the best people in the world, aside maybe that cute girl.

[The Mad Engineer]

Then, through your suggestion, that is what he thinks.


I think you see now the danger he is in, from repeating his mistakes, to totally altering his passive personality.

[Dragooble]

So basically this mysterious entity that is apparently creating some type of simulation for john to experience is you Mad Engineer? Because that's what this seems to be implying. This might be mildly unsettling.

we are in THE SHIT now. together. For the long haul. We are motherfuckin entrenched in this bitch.

The rats march to upward movement

Sort of sums this up imo... i think

Good choice of song.  I am not the Other, if that is what you are implying.  I do have a part to play, just like all of you, but the truth is slightly more sinister.

I believe that is enough plot spoilers for now.  Keep in mind I am liable to change the story later on depending on what occurs, and what I accidentally give away.  If you observe the ending, then it doesn't exist.

Bump because this is deep
