Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIX: To FAIL, or not to FAIL?

[Lyinginbedmon]

I'm disputing Dekopin because of the nature of the Plane of Incarnum, not because I don't want someone messing up the plan.

That said, I too wholeheartedly support getting the big fight done so FI can start. Keeping the plane lets us do that much faster than otherwise, and given the power level of the Shades it's justified that we'd need something like it to beat them anyway.

[CrimsonAngel]

I think it looks fine.

I'M HERE!!!
Look, Keris, this is godmodding. The Plane of Incarnum destroys souls. It does not matter whether you are a god (which, by the way, is totally annoying)! The plot has changed, and frankly, I personally believe that the rules need changing! This whole 'if it isn't a comic, it's non-canon' thing is incredibly annoying.
There is no way you can survive it. The Plane of Incarnum isn't just a plane which a dangerous element, it's a plane which nothing can survive. Not gods, not demon lords, NOTHING. The very souls are destroyed.
And as for 'disappointing and not epic enough', then find another way to fix that! Rand was pretty close to doing so when you went and godmodded like that! It was incredibly underwhelming! Not to mention that creating a portal to the Plane of Incarnum is pretty damn epic.
You are abusing the rules of ABR. This is a serious point in the plot, not something to just 'turn off' with some idiotic godmodding.

Hmm, I guess this means Slaudor is a demon and not a devil. But he is quite clever, the Bluewings aren't. I will also make some more baddies for Slaudor to command. There is monster one in particular that I made a long time ago without using.

A Demon can be perfectly intelligent, they are just chaotic.
The thing about the machinists is that, rather than consuming souls to make themselves personally more powerful (To become bigger and badder types of devils), they use them to fuel machines, which they view as just as good if not better than being a bigger and badder devil. Why do you need to ability to punch through a wall when you can just blow that wall up from half a mile away.

Also, their tanks shoot shells (I'll draw some at some point), not cannonballs, but whatever, that's too minor a detail for me to care about.

I was messing around Inkscape to make a new demon for TJH's protagonists to fight and I got... Well...

Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People. Craab People...

Hey Mad Mask... two questions

1. Is there any way that we could make the portal program in TJH affecting of Future Imperfect being so imperfect? Like maybe we let in one too many refugees and it screwed the economy up?

Maybe you snatched a lot of epic spellcasters, leaving no one powerful enough to dispute the Sovices except for those in the resistance ?

2. Would you please play the Lawful Evil villain I wrote up in TJH?

If you reposted the part in which you gave all information about him I would be glad to play him.

Of course that means that the Machinists are physically frail. I mean... a stiff breeze could...

Good thing I have 3 melee specialists in my group.

What you think I chose those guys at random did you?

Physically, yes they are. Which is why they go into battle with tanks and robot suits. If you can fight them outside of those suits, you're probably okay, as they have few hand-to-hand specialists.

Not only is Falgorn a melee specialist, he can control portals! AND USE DRAGON BALL Z MOVES!

[Darklord Bright]

X2: Will you mind if the base looks kinda like a stylised stargate?

Also, does anyone wanna be "The Doc" that operates the computers at base? If not, he'll just end up being an NPC in the next comic.

Not at all.

Also, Megadoomer wanted to be in TJH, PM him.

Frankly, wouldn't planar journeymen, such as Oliver, want to go to the plane of Incarnum just because they want to say "I went to the plane of incarnum"? It's like the guy who made a piece of bacon able to cut through steel by using pure oxygen, sure it isn't practical, but goddamn it it's awesome.

[X2]

Cool. I'll see what I can do with him.

We're about to start this episodes Home Base subplot so he could waltz in to "check" on the jumpers he pays good money to er... jump.

[Darklord Bright]

I posted the comic but accidentally had exported only a single speech balloon to bitmap (it was selected) so I just went and fixed/posted the actual two-paneller. Enjoy!

It looks great! So what should the subplot be?

[Darklord Bright]

Maybe someone is trying to, at first, buy the base out for personal use. But of course, we refuse and end up having bands of mercs and stuff sent out to get us and try and take the facility by force?

EDIT: Whoah! I just noticed I got promoted! Orc in the Playground? Snazzy! I'd like a custom name Popcorn Vender in the Playground.

[Falgorn]

Crap, how'd you get up so fast, Xartyve?

[Darklord Bright]

Like this guy?:

That's entirely up to MM.

I think the reasoning for refusing would be as simple as "We are not at leisure to discuss the future of this project while the current owner is not present. The passing of ownership cannot be authorised without his express consent."

[X2]

Crap, how'd you get up so fast, Xartyve?

Spam...

Spam spam spam...

Nah... I'm just a talker.

EDIT: My home base character will be Ted, the scruffy janitor.

EDIT 2: With these two plots running at once the end of the episode will be hilarious.

X2: So how'd it go
HB: Okay
X2: Anything happen?
HB: Not much, you?
X2: No...
HB: Okay then.

[Darklord Bright]

Just realised I hadn't told my Planehopper's name more that once: It's Katya Hunt.

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is getting stupid we're on pg 60 and rand sent off for a new thread quite a while ago, why's it not here yet.
