Lazerus:
This cycle of fluidly creating new nations and then rapidly driving them into the ground is somewhat annoying. There's also the fact that you and Tycho have a habit of surrendering unconditionally to one another and transferring large amounts of valuable resources in the process. You're doing about as much damage to continuity as you would if you were trying to attack it.

I am sure everyone will want to commit genocide with that one.

Pablo.

The surrednering thing with tycho was supposed to be part of a deal whereas tycho would slowly phase the system back to my control.

But then the little fuck backstabbed me.

Yes, whatever. Be more careful in the future. One of the things that is nice about STGODs is that a given nation becomes a character, changes over time, gains established relations with other powers, etc. Repeated cycles of flash-in-the-pan nations burning brightly and disrupting the entire international scene are bad for the game.

I agree, it does need to stop.. Could a mod stick take care of that please?

Same basic principle. You have the text, now you need it translated, from a language disimilar to ones you know, then you needd to understand what the basic principles are, then you need to apply those principles.

No, you see, not quite. We have the books, we have primers, we know how to do it, we also have super-computers that can help aide translation. Also if I wanted to act real DnD like I could say that a group within my mages think (similar to that atheist wizard prestige class) that all magic is really divine magic, and work from there much like some wizards in DnD can use divine magic.

I am not saying you cant do it, just that it will take you a while. Long enough for me to concoct something

Hey, I'm not going to disagree that the more complicated stuff might take weeks, but the simple stuff? A day, tops.

A mod stick in this instance would possibly go over poorly. What would happen, dissolution of the pact made between Laz and Tycho?

In this case, I would say that if you don't want Tycho's power to gain control over Laz's power, remove the value of the system, if you get my meaning.

Bugsby · Post by **Bugsby** » 2004-04-29 10:50pm

The zerg? No. No, no, no. Laz, you have two options. First, pick up the Jardanians again and lead a resistance movement. Second, keep it up with the Goa'uld. Start as an unbound power and move in. Both will be difficult, but that is what you did to yourself.

If you are not inclined to do either, don't rejoin. For the love of christ, I was pissed when you made a second race after killing your first one. Making a third one is just retarded.

And you expected him to do what, now? You backstabbed him first, if you'll recall.

EDIT:
Actually, I think Bugsby has a very good point. I think you should just continue with the Goa'uld, resolve your situation, and behave like a nation-state in the future.

It's engines lit up in a sequence.

1
2
3
5
7
13

There are two ones at the beginning of the Fibonacci sequence.

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55...

There are no wizards that use divine magic.

The Atheist prestige class uses his hatred of religion to counter divine spells...

and frankly whether he believes all magic is divine is moot. As it is the way things really are not what we believe that determines what is real.

The simple cantrips you may be able to get, but without the proper translations of higher level spells, you will not be able to get past 2nd level spells regardless.

And I have a trick up my sleeve

In Straha's defense, there's a way to do both. Check Races Of Faerun, Southern Magician. You can do both. It's hard, but quite possible. Let it go, Aly. It's just some minor books.

I hope to sweet god that said trick isn't some Deus ex Machina...

Aly, just so you know the bunker is beneath the Military Prince's palace and the Monacoran Army's Earthen Academy in Monaco, and they aren't guards on the inside, the guys on the inside are Army folk.

And this still leaves the problem of your possession of stolen property. Such does not go over well in terms of international incidents.

Ok, hold on... I will edit, basically, I am where the damn books are...

He doesn't have to get in all at once. It can be done by stages... first a guard, then an acquaintance of the guard who has access to the Earthen Academy, and so on... of course, he has to do it quickly, otherwise the risk of discovery increases exponentially with each execution.

I offered to give it back, and he left.

If he sends a small delegation back, I'll give the originals back...
