Man...and I thought I had something weird in store 

It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread III
Hmm. Since the pirates' bases are well hidden, it may honestly take months to track them down. It's reasonable for intense antipirate ops (including, for example, figuring out where the enemy is so that large-scale fleet units can be assigned to take them down) to wait till July.Force Lord wrote:What time is it in the game? March? April?
EDIT: And the Centrality reacts against the Space Pirates.
I plan a bit of involvement in the antipiracy operations, but must draft a few things first to set it up.

So, Shroom had only half a brain towards the end there?
That explains so very, very much.
But how do we still account for the real life Shroom?

Yeah I know stealing Vincent from RogueIce isn't exactly nice, but hey it was my intent from the beginning for Cedric the spy to be something more and permanent, so I figure sticking close to the character he is ex-Turk but he doesn't really talk about it, and He isn't really antagonistic to the Turks so much as distant.
And yes that is the Baron Loxley, robin hood. I want to write something using the robin hood set up anyway. And the Internationale Union of Evildoers is the primary foe of the Power Rangers.

Force Lord, a reply from Umeria, at least, will be forthcoming in the next few days. It took us some time to consider whether or not to reply at all, but an event in early April changes the game enough to make us send you a note.
It's... a bit complicated.

Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread III
That wasn't very nice, since I just used the name and all. But I didn't include Valentine as the surname, nor is my Vincent bishie looking, so I can look the other way.Agent Sorchus wrote:Yeah I know stealing Vincent from RogueIce isn't exactly nice, but hey it was my intent from the beginning for Cedric the spy to be something more and permanent, so I figure sticking close to the character he is ex-Turk but he doesn't really talk about it, and He isn't really antagonistic to the Turks so much as distant.
As far as the whole Turks angle, if you mean he came from my Turks you really need to PM me about it. Because I think it'd be rather poor form to have an "ex-member" of my most secret, sensitive, 'we don't even acknowledge they exist' intelligence agency just show up as one of your characters.

Eh he doesn't need to be any relation to the Turks, it was just a thought. I'll try to use the bishie side of him then.RogueIce wrote:That wasn't very nice, since I just used the name and all.

Ok. I don't much care if you make him an assassin/spy/whatever, or even if you take the look so much (I don't care too much regarding the physical descriptions of FF characters; the names are another matter, of course).Agent Sorchus wrote:Eh he doesn't need to be any relation to the Turks, it was just a thought.

Just so long as we don't have random people from somebody's fairly sensitive intelligence agencies show up in the employ of other's agencies/governments, with the sort of things that could imply. I think we all can see how that might get problematic.

In the Bragulan justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the suicide police, who instigate crime; and the district attorneys, who persecute the offenders. These are their stories.
The Shroom in the dolphin isn't the "real" Shroom. It's a copy that got uploaded into a cyborg dolphin brain that Shroomanian scientists worked on in SDNW2. The "real" Shroom died of old age. But it's not over yet!

Re: SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread III
Basically i figure there's a lot of elements extractable from it. In this case they're the elements the hierarchy requires to build things like the interior lining of hyperspace taps. They found a few rare worlds that have them naturally but they're reaching the point where deep core mining is getting hard to do. Hence the need to get the stuff from someone who actually cultivates rubiconium.Shroom Man 777 wrote:I wonder if the Shrooms should try to kill each other, or do spiteful things at each other's expense.
