SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread III

[Simon_Jester]

Heh. We'll live with Unreal Time, I guess. By July 18, something much more interesting will have happened...

[Shroom Man 777]

I'm lost. I can't for the life of me figure out the points system for the ground forces and infantry. How do I compute for the modifiers?

[PeZook]

I just ignore them and go with points per trooper. My troops are their gear, anyway

[Master_Baerne]

The Karlacks should totally sell Headcrab Zombies, weaponized ones like what the Combine launched at Ravenholm!

Headcrabbed Bragulans... would actually be a good idea for gulags. Just saying - it's harder to be idealogically impure when your brain doesn't work.

[Simon_Jester]

It's also damn near impossible to get forced labor out of headcrab zombies, and they keep trying to eat the guards.

Well, every silver lining does have its cloud, I suppose.

[Master_Baerne]

But as we know, headcrab zombies can be easily subdued by stick-beatings. Clearly they are the Ideologically-Correct Wave of the People's Ideologically-Correct Future - and when has efficiency been a concern of the Bragulan Star Empire? They could power a turbine by putting a bunch of zombies on a treadmill road and making humans run in front of them, or something.

[Shroom Man 777]

So I got Ascendancy sending dudes in, possibly Umerians, and also Chamarrans and Karlacks confirmed. So, when do we do the BEEEF?

EDIT:

Also, weren't headcrabs a throwable weapon in HL2?

PS. Official Bragulan terminology for cranially-carnivorous Karlack crustaceans is not headcrabs. We call them... headcraps instead.

[Simon_Jester]

I think last quarter of 3400 (like, September-October) is good.

I mean, it's nice to have stuff planned out ahead of time if you ask me.

But then, I'm biased on account of having other stuff to think about.

[Shroom Man 777]

Oh let me see:

You know how Steve combined his Fynn Sector statelets by marrying their lesbian princesses? Using Steve's strategy we can combine the Grand Dominion and Shepistan into a superstate!

Guess HOW?

[Mayabird]

Is Mayabird jumping on the pirate bandwagon? Has she been talking too much to Shroomy? Will she ever get around to actually doing all those bajillion diplomatic meeting thingies? (Not really, there's no such thing, and, erm, LOOK A THREE HEADED MONKEY *runs away*)

It'll be the next story before you actually find out the title and what's going on. If I said it now, it'd be too much of a spoiler.

[Simon_Jester]

I like the armadillo.

Obviously one of Dr. Murderstein's creations...

[Force Lord]

Looks like I missed out the fun.

[Mayabird]

Looks like I missed out the fun.

Actually, I plan to get back to the diplomatic stuff soon. I just wanted to do this first to get back into the swing of writing. Assuming that was what you were talking about.

Another quick update, just to push the story along faster so I can get to the real wackiness and plot sooner.

[Shroom Man 777]

By the time they finally arrived at...wherever it was they arrived at...he had reached animal abuse, and was relating that time when he was five years old and microwaved his sister's pet turtle to death because the turtle was cool to the touch so he thought the turtle had caught a cold and needed to be warmed up so he wouldn't be sick.



I am sorries I didn't catches you on MSNs, I was off the computors watching TVs and doing my dad's emails.

Nice updates. Fook!

I wonder what you would send to the Centrality.

Hmm. Is there such a species as an Oppressionbird?

[Force Lord]

We accept blackbirds just fine.

[Shroom Man 777]

There, Fingolfin, Klavo, I gave you two boys a nice place to play with each other. Everyone else is invited too!

I'm not impatient or anything, if that's what you want to know.

[Simon_Jester]

Next installment of Collectors in the Shoals is up. Complete with a bit of psychoanalysis of the God-Emperor of Man!

[PeZook]

Psycho analysis is a most accurate term!

[Shroom Man 777]

Oh dear, Fin will be sooo grumpy.

[Simon_Jester]

But let us not forget the fate of the Belter United Libertarian League!

Seriously, anyone who knows what a government looks like should've been able to see that coming...

[Siege]

Goddamn Libertopians...

[PeZook]

GODDAMN BELTERTOPIANS!

EDIT: So, is the CEID going to try and mindfuck Gepetto into revealing his findings?

[Shroom Man 777]

Oh no, comparisons of the BSE and the IoM!
