ABR Discussion Thread XVI: Matters of Futures Imperfect

[Mad Mask]

Anyone want to approach this or should I just wait for Salmon to answer.

Also, the future that Salmon came back from: was this one in which the UNA won, Threeshades one, or both? To me, the single panel that shows a dragon fighting jet fighters makes me theorize that in that future, the good guys were totally defeated and the world is caught in a war between the two BBEGS.

Salmon comes from a future in which the Resistance failed (it will unless Salmon or any other time traveller does anything to prevent that) and the Sovice finally took control of Avbaroy and slaughtered countless millions, then left the planet to die. At least, that's the most logical interpretation of the events.

Hah! The UNA totally rocks.

Now that's one fine example of goodthink !

Meh. Evil superpowered techno robots conquering the world are overrated.
Also, guys, I'm gonna be changing my character look a bit. For one thing, I'm danged sick of drawing that eyepatch. I can't figure out how to draw it without looking mad. Could anyone help me out? I can't find a way to not draw the eyepatch but still make it obvious that he isn't just a weird cyclops thing.

Then why are they going after Threeshades instead of Ins?

[Nameless]

You did not shade before I came to Avatar Battle Royale. Your drawings were made with paint.

@Fayt: good for a first try, but try shading all of the body instead of just small parts of it. Also, you should have at least three shades: one light, one medium and one dark.

I'm pretty sure when you first joind ABr I had already started useing Fireworks.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

@ Gremlin


The weird goggle thingamajig dohicky.

[The Gremlin]

Then why are they going after Threeshades instead of Ins?

Because The Shades had Leroy. Now...I'm not sure. I think because he's friends with Lying&co.
/\Ah. But that's for two eyes, not one. And how am I supposed to say I got them in teh comic I'm making? Claim to have robbed a Q?

[Threeshades]

are the sovice the people who travel space in whale skeletons?

i have no idea...
despite the fact i watched like all the star treks

[The Gremlin]

Yep, that's him. But as I said above, the visor won't work unless I cvlaim to have robbed a Q. Or maybe I could have looted the body of some random body I found....
....okay, I guess I could use that. But something better would not be minded.

You forgot the '???' thing.

[Mad Mask]

Yes, but these are only a faction of the Sovice. The Sovice are mechanical entities composed of countless nanites. They come in two main factions: the Holy Sovice Militia (the ones who reside in Avbaroy and founded the UNA) and the New Sovice Empire (the ones in the space whales).

... Um.... which is why Rel (My Pirate guy) joined the resistance
hehe, pooped on your semtex

[Tiffanie Lirle]

@^ You'll be destroyed along with the rest of the resistance. I shall see to it personally.

Question marks are overrated.

[DoomITP]

i hate freaking gunz I tried to play it a few months back. It refused to send me the freaking confermation email.

[Threeshades]

Then why are they going after Threeshades instead of Ins?

because the shades are the bigger menace. if they let the shades do their thing, the sovice whoever they are and the UNA would be crushed like a loaf of bread under a steam roller. And the rest of the world along with them.

Is 'gunz' supposed to be spelled with a z and no caps? There's a spell check, you know.

The fact that the UNA took over the world in Salmon's dark future implies that Lying and co. managed to defeat Threeshades without his help. He should thus be after the UNA, who he knows for certain will screw up the world if unstopped.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Yeah, it's supposed to have a z. The g should be capitalized though.

But does it really matter? <.<

[Threeshades]

either would screw up the world if unstopped. The shades however would screw it up much harder

Also let's not forget, he can't stop the UNA anyhow, since it would create a paradox to do so. If he prevents what he saw in the future, then he won't see it in the future and thus wouldnt have the knowledge he'd need to decide to prevent it.

[DoomITP]

well do you know why it wouldn't send me the confermation email?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Wrong email address?
Email moved it to the spam folder?

Register a yahoo email, takes like 2 mins.

[DoomITP]

ugh... still gunz.... I SHALL HAVE MAIII REVENGE? whats your name on the game incase i get it running?

Yeah, kPenguin (muahahaha!) is right. But I think they want to deal with the Shades once and for all, because, who knows? The reason why the Resistance failed in the future is quite possibly because The Shades were nipping at their heels the whole time.
Except one thing: The armies of the Shades are going to go into a battle against the UNA (doesn't anyone remember that?)and they are going to lose. They are battling around the same time taht the Good Guys vs. Shades fight.
Of course, right now Rand is fighting the armies, soooo.....
HUH?!
But teh UNA is much more powerful than the Shades. They have Steam-powered weaponry, many varieties of landfish warriors (from tough Giant Salmon to quick Little Trout)and those from Blauport. Not to mention the Pikalites, who have excellent weaponry, and the elves and kobolds.

[Lyinginbedmon]

if they let the shades do their thing, the sovice whoever they are...

The Sovices are detailed pretty completely on the Wiki.

As Mask has said, there are two factions of Sovice, because they're in the midst of a civil war. Maeter, Lying, and the folks in the whales are with the New Sovice Empire. Ins, the UNA, and his friends are with of the Holy Sovice Militia.

As Maeter said, Ins has ingrained his allies in the politics of Avbaroy so the NSE can't, in good conscience, just remove them and leave. The NSE is more about diplomacy, trading, and pragmatism, the HSM is mainly religious fanatacism, to be brief.

If you really think about it, Maeter isn't attacking immediately because doing so would basically result in Iraq in modern times. Wierd that, didn't think of it when I was making it.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

ugh... still gunz.... I SHALL HAVE MAIII REVENGE? whats your name on the game incase i get it running?

I have like 10 characters or so, multiple accounts etc..

Just throw me a pm if you get it working and we'll iron out the details.
