Not sure if Myrmidon celebrates his birthday, but happy birthday to you anyway! :D

Three cheers for FCPBP's resident (not!) evil clone!

Could this possibly be true!? Our Commander is 35? We all know comic characters don't age!

Happy Birthday, Dok! :parrot:

A toast to Dok! May he :science: the boards for many more.

Huzzah! Huzzah! And thrice Huzzah!

The numbers of the Huzzah's shall be three, and three shall be the number of the Huzzah's!

Four is not the number of Huzzah's, neither is it two, and five is right out!

And the Herr Doktor did press the switch upon the Electromagnetic Screwdriver, and did count to three, three being the number required of the user to count before the power source warms up, and the Doktor's enemies did become entrapped in a force-field…

... And now I'm imagining a lonely island somewhere where the natives build cargo cult effigies to the blond-hair demigod with the magic wand who walk around clad in a white robe and seduces the islander women...

(14:50:11) Supercape: Hmmm, I nearly named a vagrant "Old Willy". In all innocence. Probably not a good idea.

(14:50:21) Arichamus: Rabbit> Can't be worse than Scots-flavored French!

(14:50:37) Electra: Better Old than Big.

(14:50:48) Electra: In all innocence. >_>

(14:50:56) Supercape: :aaa:

(14:51:08) AvengerAssembled: :keke:

(14:51:23) Miss_Rabbit: Bif Willy is Gettin Jiggy with it! :P

(14:51:30) Supercape: If that doesn't get posted on "It fell from the chatroom", I dont know what will...

Yes.

(20:46:25) AvengerAssembled: Hey T-K, are you actually here?

(20:46:41) Thunder_King: me?

(20:46:57) AvengerAssembled: ...no. :o

(20:47:05) Gizmo: Couldn't be! Then who?

(20:47:18) Fox: ELECTRA stole the cookie from the cookie jar!

(20:47:30) Electra: I bought the damn things, I'll eat them if I want to! :argh:

(2012.07.24 - 03:23:35) Fox: "And we can all punch crime together" is such a wonderful, wonderful child phrase.

(2012.07.24 - 03:23:45) Fox: It's just...I don't know. Pure.

(2012.07.24 - 03:24:06) Fox: Both in the sense of innocence and in just being sheer, distilled justice.

(2012.07.24 - 03:25:14) Gizmo: If this site had like a crest, that would be on it in Latin.

(2012.07.24 - 03:27:19) Gizmo: Et potest omnes pertundam scelus simul

(02:02:40) Electra: I should embiggen Stesha's array a bit more while I'm editing things. But adding more points means changing EVERYTHING.

(02:02:49) Fox: Nugh, yes.

(02:03:04) Fox: Gotta go down the whole list of powers, and figure out what you're boosting, and what you aren't, and what all the NEW ranges/limits/sizes/areas are....

(02:03:24) Electra makes a note to find a bribe for AA

(02:03:36) Fox: Can this power go up a rank? No, it doesn't have an even pp/rank, so it only goes up every couple of array increases.

(02:04:17) Electra: I could dump all 40 unspent pp into the array and effectively double the base size, nnyeeesss...

(02:04:25) Fox: You're mad! Mad!

(02:04:44) Gizmo: That is probably too big.

(02:04:51) Fox: GK, fortunately, will be spending pretty much everything he has on the dragon, because she costs almost as much as he does for a lot less oomph. A lot less oomph.

(02:05:15) Electra: Oh, it is much too big. Most of her powers are as big as they can feasibly become in the array.

(02:06:10) Electra: And the fact remains that despite her impressive and nearly godlike range of powers regarding plants, she still can't hit a damn thing in a fight.

(02:06:27) Gizmo: That's a problem.

(02:06:31) Fox: Yeah, GK's is still...40pp? But he's due for another boost. MOAR CREATE OBJECT! MOAR MOVE OBJECT!

(02:06:44) Fox: Build all the things! And then move them!

(02:07:20) Fox: ...jeeze. I haven't looked at GK's sheet in forever. CLEARLY what he needs is more powers that take up three lines on my widescreen monitor.

(02:07:29) Electra: I consider it a trade-off. If she could routinely catch things on the move and shove them in her dimensional pocket, it wouldn't be very fun to GM combats for her.

(02:07:57) Fox: Alternate Power: Super-Movement 3 (Dimensional Movement 3 [Any], Extras: Linked [Teleport], Portal, Flaws: Action 2 [standard Action to open Portals]) [6PP] + Teleport 10 (200,000 miles ["Earth To The Moon"]; Extras: Accurate, Linked [Dimensional Movement], Portal, Flaws: Action 2 [standard Action to open Portals], Feats: Change Velocity, Progression [Portal Size] 2 [25ft x 25ft], Complications: Medium [Anchor-Stones]) [33PP] [6 + 33 = 39PP]

(02:08:02) Electra: As it is, someone else pretty much has to stop them for her, or she has to chase them down and get a stun on them.

(02:08:07) Fox: That's what happens when you have a concept in your head and try to build around it, kids.

(02:08:26) Fox: E - teamwork!

(02:08:50) Electra: She has always been a character built for teamwork!

(02:08:52) Gizmo: Jeez, what does that even do, Fox?

(02:09:21) Electra: He can go any place in any dimension if he's got a rock (to wind a string around)

(02:10:08) Gizmo: Okay, I'm sure there are easier ways of writing that. There must be!

(02:10:19) Fox: If he's been somewhere before and made an anchor stone there, he can open a teleportal to said stone.

(02:11:48) Fox: So he's sort of a walking Stargate. That can't actually reach stars.

(02:12:11) SpicyWaffle: Yet.

(02:12:23) Fox: I wanted him to be able to get around - especially to and from Sanctuary - and liked the idea of an anchor stone - like a keystone in an arch. And then I built a power around it. An awful, terrible, wonderful power.

(02:12:33) Gizmo: Just he can reach a planet with lots of trees, so still like a Stargate!

(02:12:48) SpicyWaffle: A... Treegate, I guess?

(02:12:53) Fox: Dimensional Stargate! Dimensiongate.

(02:13:16) Gizmo: (The joke is that pretty much all the planets they went to were Vancouver.)

(02:13:30) Electra: Any linked Dimensional Movement and teleport is going to be kind of unwieldy.

(02:13:52) Fox: It's really just a utility power. He has to have gone there already (or...I don't know, sent an anchor fedex), and the action gives it little combat utility. But it's great for escapes or dramatic "get the civvies to safety NOW!" moments.

(02:13:56) Electra: Alternate Power: Teleport 9 (900ft per Move Action, 20,000 miles per Full Action ["Anywhere On Earth"], Extras: Accurate, Linked [super-Movement], Flaws: Medium [Plants], Feats: Change Direction, Change Velocity, Easy, Progression [Cargo] 14 [2,500 tons], Progression [save DC] 5 [DC24]) [40PP] + Super-Movement 2 (Dimensional Movement 1 [To/From Earth-Fleur], Extras: Affects Others, Linked [Teleport], Flaws: Medium [Plants]) [4PP] (Stepping Through Plants) [44PP]

(02:14:03) Fox: Yeaaaah.

(02:14:19) Fox: WONDER ELEMENTAL POWERS: ACTIVATE!

(02:14:25) Electra: :hfive:

(02:14:25) Fox: FORM OF: AN EDITING NIGHTMARE!

(02:14:29) Fox: :hfive:

(02:14:55) Electra: SHAPE OF: WHATISTHISIDONTEVEN

We were all thinking it.

(2012.08.26 - 15:05:45) KnightDisciple: (13:54:58) trollthumper: Apparently one of the writers of Stormwatch lost the job because he claimed to be an Army Ranger. False claims, I'm guessing?

(2012.08.26 - 15:05:57) trollthumper: Yyyyyyyup.

(2012.08.26 - 15:06:44) trollthumper: Seeing as this was the "Team Achilles" era, which was built on how normal humans with spec-ops experience could readily kick the ass of superhumans with proper training, and relied heavily on knowledge of special ops...

(2012.08.26 - 15:08:01) trollthumper: And at the same time, he was writing books questioning military intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan while claiming experience as a Ranger in Operation Just Cause...

(2012.08.26 - 15:08:20) KnightDisciple: ouch

(2012.08.26 - 15:08:47) trollthumper: Mind you, this is also the book where someone took out the Midnighter with f**king judo

(2012.08.26 - 15:09:13) Raveled: "I know kung fu." "I have a spike on my chin! Spiiiiiiiiike!"

(2012.08.26 - 15:09:48) trollthumper: These were in the pre-spike days.

(2012.08.26 - 15:10:08) trollthumper: But yeah, it's up there with Robin taking out Cassandra Cain by not adopting any fighting style at all.

(2012.08.26 - 15:10:32) KnightDisciple: like...the World Judo Undisputed Master?

(2012.08.26 - 15:10:33) Thunder_King: ...yeah, that won't make you more predictable or anything.

(2012.08.26 - 15:10:41) KnightDisciple: Or just some dude who knows judo?

(2012.08.26 - 15:10:41) trollthumper: Which, in reality, should telegraph telegraph like Samuel Morse.

(2012.08.26 - 15:10:54) trollthumper: I added the extra telegraph for emphasis.

(2012.08.26 - 15:10:59) trollthumper: And I'm sticking to that explanation.

(20:27:37) Max: Also, Set is EEEVIIIL

(20:27:50) Max: 3 Es and 3 Is needed

(20:28:20) Max: because snakes yo

(20:28:37) Max: (i think that's the snake one?)

(20:28:42) Aoiroo: No

(20:28:55) Arichamus: Have you seen Gizmo's Kid Set and Sehkmet, Max?

(20:29:15) AvengerAssembled: Set is associated with snakes in popular mythology, Max, but that's only because of bad research by the guy who wrote Conan.

(20:29:30) Gizmo: Apep is the snakey one.

(20:29:43) AvengerAssembled: The historic Set fought Apep all the time!

(20:29:45) Arichamus: Wadjet is technically the 'snake one', and there were lots others I think, like Ap-. :ninja:

(20:29:56) Max: Typhon

(20:30:09) Ecalsneerg: Eden post

(20:30:09) Gizmo: Back in the day, Set wore snake-related stuff to pander to his serpent people cultists.

(20:30:12) Arichamus: Typhon is Greek!

(20:30:27) SpicyWaffle: Set was such a hipster.

(20:30:29) AvengerAssembled: Or maybe it was a Hercules and the lion thing, Giz!

(20:30:43) Gizmo: Ooh, good point.

(20:30:44) System: KnightDisciple has set their status to Away

(20:30:46) Max has her mythologies mixed :argh:

(20:30:49) AvengerAssembled: He killed that snake and wore it as a hat!

(20:31:33) Gizmo: Regardless, nu!Set is skipping that motif as part of his image rehabilitation efforts.

(20:31:48) Arichamus: That was Zeus' defining moment back in his youth, when Typhon pulled his sinews out and left him for dead. Apollo knitted them back into him, and he went right back for

seconds.

(20:31:49) AvengerAssembled: 2000 years of Zeus and Yahweh-worshippers later, bam! Did do the research.

(20:31:59) AvengerAssembled: Did not do the research, rather.

(20:32:53) Arichamus: (Getting your sinews pulled out hurts a lot, for those who don't know)

(20:33:56) Gizmo: Anyway, I made an attempt to reconcile the mythology with what we know about that part of the setting in Set's backstory.

(20:34:22) SpicyWaffle: I did not know! But now I do, and knowing is half the battle!

(20:34:42) Ecalsneerg: Yay mythological accuracy in a superhero setting!

(20:34:42) SpicyWaffle: Note to Self: Do not get sinews ripped out. It hella-hurts, yo!

(20:35:23) System: KnightDisciple has set their status to Online

(20:35:32) Gizmo: Well there go my weekend plans. Gonna have to call and cancel with the sinew ripper.

(20:35:48) System: KnightDisciple has set their status to Away
