ABR Disscusion thread XII: Not to be confused with important stuff

[memnarch]

Prediction is "No."

[Green-Shirt Q]

can we lower the plot barrier for SCIENCE! :smallbiggrin:

Megadoomer, STOP STALKING THREESHADES! Even I'M finding it annoying for some reason. :smallmad::smallsigh::smallannoyed:

[Threeshades]

can we lower the plot barrier for SCIENCE! :smallbiggrin:

seriously, what do you want from me! :smallconfused:

[memnarch]

You to hurry the plot up to the point where he can do "cool stuff" even though he hasn't said what that is yet.

[DoomITP]

@ Q come on...

@shades

We've got nothing better to do. plus im BORED :smallannoyed:


@ mem... I dunno the coolest thing that can be done is move the plot an inch

[BRC]

Let's see, Icedragons said he was going to join the Rescue Ven Mini-arc, so I'll wait for him to post before progressing with that. Besides, I need to make a Rob and Jack tonight.

[Green-Shirt Q]

I have to find the time to make a follow up comic explaining what the hell happened in my last comic, plus a couple of SDSB comics and a couple of Sprite Wars comics.

[Threeshades]

@ Q come on...

@shades

We've got nothing better to do. plus im BORED :smallannoyed:

There's like 6 bajillion sub plots to join, so you're not bored anymore. Threeshades and Shades are plotlocked until i finish the situation. And even then the Shades will kill anyone who come to annoy them.

[The Gremlin]

You to hurry the plot up to the point where he can do "cool stuff" even though he hasn't said what that is yet.

Seriously, are you gonna continue the TS vs. The Shades thing, or let someone go in the room? :smallannoyed:

I'll wait then too.

@\/; What; kill yourself?:smalltongue:

[Threeshades]

In order to make megadoomer less annoying i led the situation on a little.

[Fawkes]

Dun Dun Dun!

[The Gremlin]

Dun Dun Dun!

I bet TS is gonna possess The Shades' body.
Great job, 3shades. :smallbiggrin:

[Ninja Chocobo]

Tangent; what kinds of school classes are people taking?
English Bull**** Standard (2U)
Latin (2U)
Mathematics (2U)
Physics (2U)
Software Design and Development (2U)
Chemistry (2U)

Listed in order of HSC exam date. Though I'm not sure the first three count given I've now finished them forever.

And I'm a freshmen.
Meaning what, exactly?

-image-
This is the second time you've killed yourself in canon. I'm starting to wonder how many times you plan on doing this.

[memnarch]

He's either in 9th grade (on a K-12 scale) or first year college.

[Fawkes]

Given the names of his classes, I'm guessing high school.

Wikipedia's article on the term freshman. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshman)

[Ninja Chocobo]

college.

Define this, please. I've seen it used for at least four different things. High school, University, upper levels of high school, or a different tertiary institute that's not described as a university.

[Fawkes]

In the United States, college refers to education post-high school.

[memnarch]

K-12 is about 6 years old to 18 years old. College is the extra schooling that you can get once you've graduated from 12th grade. So I suppose university falls under that category.

[Ninja Chocobo]

In the United States, college refers to education post-high school.

Right!
Now if only it was simple to tell exactly where everyone using the term lives, and the exact circumstances in which people of that area tend to use it.

[memnarch]

My post not sufficient? :smallconfused:

Minnesota, US.

[Fawkes]

College is where you go after high school. I told you that. That's the exact circumstance. Szilard's location says California, and I believe it's been previously established that Memnarch is American.

I don't understand why you're complaining.

[Ninja Chocobo]

My post not sufficient? :smallconfused:

Please not I did not specifically refer to you, but rather to:

everyone using the term

I don't understand why you're complaining.

Because not everybody uses it in the same way and it is very difficult to tell where some people live and how they use it. Not specifically you, Memnarch, or Szilard.

[Fawkes]

Because not everybody uses it in the same way and it is very difficult to tell where some people live and how they use it. Not specifically you, Memnarch, or Szilard.

All three of us are using it the same way. When you asked us what it means, we answered you. I don't understand why you're still upset.

[Ninja Chocobo]

All three of us are using it the same way. When you asked us what it means, we answered you. I don't understand why you're still upset.

Because there are more people than you three in the world, who may or may not use it differently. I am not upset at you, rather, I am upset at whoever decided the word should mean more than four different, yet occasionally infuriatingly similar, things.

[Hyozo]

Let's see, Icedragons said he was going to join the Rescue Ven Mini-arc, so I'll wait for him to post before progressing with that. Besides, I need to make a Rob and Jack tonight.

Once I stop being lazy. That hasn't quite happened yet. It might be about to happen though.

[DoomITP]

most will know the girl character from my failed backstory. :smallbiggrin:

[memnarch]

Can't wait to see how TS responds to that.

[Fawkes]

I, the Archivist, hereby rule that Megadoomer's two most recent comics are non-canon on the grounds that THERE IS NO TELEPORTING ONTO THE VENDETTA.

*bangs gavel*

Bailiff, take him away!

[Hyozo]

Easy: I never use the lines, ellipses, or anything controlled. Only the pencil. I only copy and paste other people. And I type as bad as I can.
Actually, I think I did too well. I doubt that the true lousy artist would be able to copy/paste, or flip things around.

I think it's a bad thing that we complain about these newer and less talented artists, Pretty much saying " If you aren't good at this you don't belong here". I mean, think about who we would have lost (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3112178&postcount=1295) if that had been the way we acted back in the earlier days of ABR. Everybody has to start somewhere.

(note: This post exists solely to connect the modern lower quality artwork with some of the art which was around pre-plot. I do agree that MR (among others) has been problematic in more ways than just the quality of his art)

EDIT:

*bangs gavel*

Bailiff, take him away!

Except for the garbage chute, which he did say he was using.

[Fawkes]

I, the Archivist, correct my mistake, and rule that the first is canonical, and the second's canonicity is currently unspecified; it is simultaneously canon and non-canon; it is Shrodinger's Comic.

I, the Archivist, demand cake!

I, the Archivist, question the canonicity of the hat-and-mustache comics.

I, the Archivist, am very tired!

*bangs gavel*

[memnarch]

There's a difference between just making a comic (mr) and trying to make a good comic (early comics from what I see; Bright as newer ex.)


He did use the garbage shoot, but we still have the problem of he being on the bridge.


@Iced; I suppose your just being lazy right? and shades didn't have me last comic either, right?

@/\;http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj264/programmer162/cake.png

[Hyozo]

@Iced; I suppose your just being lazy right? and shades didn't have me last comic either, right?

I was looking at SoG's most recent comic while deciding what to do, and I don't have a template of you yet (and I didn't want to delay the comic further to make one), so... Yes to both.

[memnarch]

Thought so. It's quite alright. (once :smallwink:)


@mecha; see previous post for cake.

[kpenguin]

Question: Is the vendetta shielded against scrying?

[Darklord Bright]

Let it also be worth noting that the Vendetta has a spring-loaded chair stuck in one of its spike-things.

[Ninja Chocobo]

*bangs gavel*

I got one of those.

I think it's a bad thing that we complain about these newer and less talented artists, Pretty much saying " If you aren't good at this you don't belong here".

It's more the visible amount of effort involved. From the context, Lying's positions were made from cobbling together pieces of other characters.

And he managed to make them look consistent. From my experience something like that takes a lot of effort, and doesn't really compare with someone who treats spelling like... Like a number of things which aren't politically correct.

[Emperor Ing]

So tempted to rezz 3S....:smalltongue:

[Almighty Salmon]

Apologies for not having done the follow-up comic yet, i'm in a stage of writer's block. I'll try to buckle down and get it done tonight.

Threeshades, your comic reminds me of something from the Oots house of horrors... :smalleek:

I know that. My own artwork sucked a lot when I first joined. But people who don't put any effort to drawing it are very annoying. Lying put some effort into it to make it look good. Others, such as MR, did not.

Question: Is the vendetta shielded against scrying?

Uh, 3S? Lying? Mecha? Anyone?

[Lyinginbedmon]

Uh, 3S? Lying? Mecha? Anyone?

I don't know fully, but in theory it must be visible to scrying on an external level at least, to explain all these different people finding it, internal is up in the air though.

[Wreckingrocc]

I think yes - externally, no - internally.

TnD's gadget just traces the teleportation residue. He just zoomed out from the bridge. It wasn't so much scrying as looking directly through the remaining trace of the teleport.

Scrying IS high level magic, but the Vendetta is very powerful...

I say we vote. I'll vote for exterior scrying only if I'm eligible to do the voting.

[BRC]

Depending on how much of Ven is technology and how much is magic, internal scrying blocking may interfere with Ven's coontrol over the Dettas, so you can probably scry somewhere else in the ship from inside the ship, but whether you can scry inside the ship from outside is a different question.

Does this mean that if I possesed a Detta it would interfere with Vens control (sound like a good idea since I would be able to help him free himself and propaply travel through the Dettas as a magic signal:biggrin:)

Also, the Plot has a much different standard of quality than a non-canon killing. MR's comics might have been accepted as random kills with only a few minor tweaks to make them less painful to look at. But to be part of the plot, comics need to be at least somewhat good.

I don't know if you could possess a Detta. The SRD says that a ghosts possession acts like a soul jar spell. The Soul Jar spell makes many mentions of Life force and Souls (neither of which teh Dettas have, and whether or not Ven has a soul is a different argument altogether), it never explicitdly states that your target must have either. As for moving through the Dettas as a magic signal, that depends on how much of Ven is magic and how much is technology.

[Lyinginbedmon]

I know of at least one D&D way of possessing a construct, and it's the Triad of Shadows - Andariel (http://forums.gleemax.com/showpost.php?p=8991687&postcount=2) method, which uses the Fiend of Possession prestige class. That still leaves Ghosts in the lurch, I don't know of a feat that allows Ghosts to possess constructs (The Expanded Possession feat specifically disallows them).

Living Constructs on the other hand...

EDIT: And a little more motion on Salmon's part with this introduction will allow me to continue with a plot comic.

[Hyozo]

Is that new character Nomlas?

Totally not.

Okay. I was just wondering.

Fair enough, he does look a lot like the new character I 'spose.

Yeah, it won't load. Could you perhaps give me a direct link?

Q, can't you put creepy stuff like that in the ABR House of Horror? :smallannoyed:

Well, originally I created it for the house of horrors, but once I created it it just didn't seem creepy enough to put there. It might make it seem less creepy in comparison to everything else there.

I finally had some time to make a comic.


On another note, what are you guys dressing up as for Halloween?

[Fawkes]

When I visited Australia this summer, I bought a Aussie-style leather hat and a Crocodile Hunter shirt from the Australia Zoo. Match that with khaki shorts and you got Steve Irwin.

Since 3S hasn't said anything on the matter, I'll take this as true.

What the hell are you doing?! Madness style is supposed to be in grayscale! :smalltongue:

@BRC: In the book with the eidoloncer class I'm using (Ghostwalk) it says that ghosts (whom are not really undead) can posses a special body made for them (non-magical and made of wood) so robots don't see to be a proplem.

I'd imagine there's a significant difference between a body made especially for possession by a ghost made of wood and a robot made of metal.
But as far as I know very few people strictly follow D&D rules, so take this with a reasonably heavy dose of salt.

Hrm... I would say no, you couldn't possess a Detta. Ven could probably make you a new (Better, Faster, Stronger, Possessable) Body in his manufacturing bays though.

Xeno, are your comics with the star warsy characters canon?

Also, do I have to include the hat-and-mustache thing?

Also, TnD, what's coming after this comic (http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/7047/hesjustdroppingincp8.png)?

Also, Gremlin, can you reupload whatever this (http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr73/The__Gremlin/FFFComic34.jpg) was?

[Wreckingrocc]

Also, TnD, what's coming after this comic (http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/7047/hesjustdroppingincp8.png)?Well, I had planned it out before making that comic with someone, and we agreed on something happening. However, after three days of delay because of circumstances not in my control, said person posted an FFF comic which made mine impossible to complete (they DID agree on it in a PM)...

Now I'm kinda stumped on what to do... Maybe I'll just have Q hit the ship after being thrown out by SoG...

[Mina Kobold]

Anybody Knowing whom this is.
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/5839/rect7587me1cg3.png
I have a naggiing feeling that it might be a very few.

[Hyozo]

Also, do I have to include the hat-and-mustache thing?

You have to include the comic where I meet Oscar and the Detta, which includes a reference to the hat and mustache thing, but I think it would work well enough without the rest.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Also, do I have to include the hat-and-mustache thing?


Well, if you can find a way not to, that would mean that one of my comics would be non-canon. A comic which I regret making because now I have to make a follow-up comic I don't want to make anymore.

In fact, if you could consider that non-canon, that would be great.

[Fawkes]

Maybe I'll just have Q hit the ship after being thrown out by SoG...

Q's not falling anymore. He's back on the ship.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Q's not falling anymore. He's back on the ship.

Actually, I think I'll have that non-canon. Q's still falling.

Look,. if you'd paid attention to me and Q arguing you wouldn't have to bring this up. IT WAS DECIDED THAT IT WAS ALRIGHT, alright? :smallannoyed:

Sweet. Thanks, Q. I'm bringing you back on the ship, and it matches perfectly in with the plan I had originally intended.

Sweet. Thanks, Q. I'm bringing you back on the ship, and it matches perfectly in with the plan I had originally intended.

Okay then. I kinda wanted to have the "Green-shirt" Q alone for a while to make him a more memorable character, but I suppose I'll be flexible.

Hi everyone, I know this is probably way off subject but, I was going through the OotS archives and I saw comic 501 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/images/8smc3Exl6wac4yIiefT.gif)
And I was wondering if anyone else noticed the similarities between the Azurite in the top left corner and Lying?
.. I dunno, I was just wondering if there was some sort of story behind that:smallconfused:...

[Fawkes]

We all noticed that too. As far as we know, it's just a coincidence. Funny though.

Btw, you might want to take the comic out of your post and just link to it. Mods tend to frown on posting the comics.

[Nevitan]

Oh, alright took it out.

Thanks for the response. :smallsmile:

[Darklord Bright]

So I decided to translate some of the Detta's binary for the hell of it. The only interesting thing I got was "Nameless hasboz&–W
" and that doesn't appear to mean anything. I don't think I messed anything up, but I had to copy it out, so I may have done.

Most of the problem was the size of the text not allowing me to properly see the numbers or spaces.

[memnarch]

You can try the binary in my last comic, but I got those numbers from Random.org (www.random.org). :smalltongue:

You're joking, right? I can't tell.
Also, how did you translate it? :smallconfused:

Just searched up a translator. I might pump the string through another to see what I get.

Edit: Well, this time there's a little difference: "Nameless hasboz&–W"

[Szilard]

They were probably trying to say Nameless has boobies.:smalltongue:

[Darklord Bright]

Is it sad that's exactly what I thought? Also, apparently even if I have no spaces it produces the same result, so unless I messed up the string itself, this is the message.

Wait, are you not in on the running joke?

We ALWAYS say Nameless has boobies. All the time. Forever.

Translation for anyone not able to understand Keveak:
"You just figured that out now? They beat the crap out of everybody and forced them to speak Latin! Of course they Arab stupid!"

I don't really get the last part... What is "Arab stupid?" The Arabs are actually quite smart... They were way ahead of their time a few hundred years ago.

Keveak, wasn't Latin your original language?

Romans only beat up opposition. They did not beat everybody up. Their military was powerful and dominant, and they actually improved the standard of living for some of their Prisoners of War.

They didn't force anyone to speak Latin... It was just necessary to know... Just like English is necessary to know for a buisinessman.

Check your spelling and sources.

Actually, I think he said they "ARE stupid", he just hit a "b" by accident. It happens alot when people type fast. And I don't think "Latin" is anybodies origional language anymore, there are similar languages (Spanish, French, Italian).

the b in "areb" was a typo. Taking over the world is what I consider beating up everyone. My klanguage is Danish originating from the German tripes who never lost against the romans so nope. And it wasn't meant all that serious

Hello to everyone... I am quite new to the forums and I just thought to ask here because no specific instructions about joining the ABR have been found to me. I might be really stupid or just ignored something important, and this question might sound as really annoying, plain stupid or both, but how can I join ABR if it is even possible anymore?

Well, Step 1, pratice some art until it's semi-decent.

Now, do you want to join random killing, or do you want to get your foot in the plot. If the Former, pick somebody and draw your avatar killing them. If the latter, familiarize yourself with the current situation, read through the wiki (Convieneitly found in Mechafox's signature) and think up a reasonable way to join. Obey the general rules when doing Canon comics, ect ect. Currently most of that activity is onboard the Vendetta, so teleporting or wandering in is no-no. You could however be one of the Shades's minions, or you could be a prisoner, or somthing else.


@v: I think you mean "Tribes"

[Mina Kobold]

If you're joining I highly recommend reading the archives. If you don't want to go through the whole thing, at least read from 1307, found in Part IV. That should get you up to speed in the current arc. You can check the wiki to help explain things, and if you have specific questions, we can help.

And you don't need to be so apologetic. We accept all kinds here. Except kobolds.

Well, I did then. I had an idea for another thing I could do with Q losing his memory and becoming a servent to Gremlin's bad guy Ovu Monobi, and you kinda killed that idea by catching me. So I needed to fall off.

No I realized that I didn't have any ideas for where to take that idea after I finally made that comic, though. So Now I need somebody to catch me again.

Excellent. You could be the bastardized child of Nameless and some Ranger other than master ranger (seeing as MR isn't actually a ranger).

A long time ago. It'll be REALLY, EXTREMELY difficult to find.

Basically, Bortak showed up AFTER the events of ABR (the timeline of all my characters is kinda messed up) and he says that he learned in his adventurer days on Avbaroy that there are demi-gods that control everybody in the town and everything you do is done because we post it. And that the town is the only place that truly exists.

The people in the town said I was raping the fourth wall and begged my to stop! :smalleek:
