Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXV: The Future (Imperfect) is...Soon

[The Gremlin]

I'm not insulting you. I'm telling you to chill. I'm not offended, I'm not judging you, I'm just telling you to calm down. Mad Mask isn't trying to be disrespectful to you or your condition. Don't take everything so personally.

Listen, you were saying that I was 'victimizing myself'. Not much different from that time when you called me a whiner. I'm going to drop this argument, but you did insult me, and that is clear.
So, what's this about a mutinee?

[Mina Kobold]

If I get back into doing OOTS style sometime soon, I might run some sort of generic henchman guy, but...
Currently I'm working on developing my own style and waiting on FI to really start again.

You really believe we are gonna start it soon? Ah the optimism of youth

[Calamity]

Well, if he's using ABR's definition of 'soon', it's not that optimistic.

[Wreckingrocc]

Maybe someone can dig up that quote from back when Threeshades recreated the large island...

What was that, 9 months ago?

[Khaeta]

I didn't say "soon", just that I was (and remain) somewhat unmotivated to do OOTS style and that I'm waiting on FI. Soon would be nice, but...

I was joking! And the youth comment is far more incorrect (you are likely a good deal of years older than me)

It could be quite soon. Apparently MM is doing the last few FFF comics.

[Squark]

Err... Then I have work to do on my final FFF strip!

Oh, and a brief note to MM- If Igon's is shown being infected with the disease, make sure Squark Iota is with him, since at the beginning of FI, Squark is struggling with the disease, and has only managed to escape going into Igon's state because the disease wasn't designed to deal with Time Lords, much Less Time Guinoids.

You're younger than 15?

[Mad Mask]

Igon is infected with the disease in the early 1530s, maybe 1532 or 1533, and arrived without any apparent cause (it's not like some UNA official put a needle in him). It's a more gradual process, so Squark Iota doesn't need to be with him.

[Squark]

Oh. Wasn't sure about the specifics. And actually Squark's resistance gains additional credibility here, because he can have been a victim of an earlier, weaker strain, since Squark, power-level wise, is around Lying's level, but his abilities are harder to block, since someone with as many different classes as he is, if they find a way for them to be synergistic, has a very diverse bag of tricks.

I had assumed the disease had had an aerosol method of delivery (the person inhales the gas, and then they get the virus), and some members of the resistance had observed this.

[Mad Mask]

It's not really a disease, it's something much more... scary.

[Khaeta]

It's not really a disease, it's something much more... scary.

Oh noes!
...
Just so long as nobody turns into a zombie...

[Squark]

It's Sovice Nanites that acted, for all intents and purposes, as a virus, I though

[Mad Mask]

...

You'll never guess what it is, even in ten thousand years. Of course, by then I'd have revealed it, but still, it's completely unpredictable.

It's not the Sovice nanites, it's what they carry.

[Mina Kobold]

You're the same age as me?!

cool

[Squark]

In case anyone was interested, I posted a preview of the Art Upgrade I'm working on for Tales Of Squark, which will hopefully help make my art style a little more versatile, as well as bring it a bit closer to Rich Burlew's style.


EDIT: Please, please, PLEASE look at it. And post comments. I need advice/help!

It's rather good, I'll maybe post a comment tomorrow when I got more time.

We are really the most disfunctional pirate crew ever, arn't we.
I have a feeling it will be less Mutiny, and more Captain Manpower deciding to kill us all and replace us with competent pirates, but we run away with the ship.

[Lemming]

It's not the Sovice nanites, it's what they carry.

...Do they have Rick Astley on infinite loop in the back of your mind? That would be enough to drive anyone insane.

[kpenguin]

The Alphanticans are already utilizing rick-roll warfare.

Just which ship?

[Mina Kobold]

Just which ship?

Ship, it's both the name and what it is.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Did this comment just kill of the conversation for eight hours?!

[Draxonicar]

Can I join?

[BRC]

Did this comment just kill of the conversation for eight hours?!

Not the comment, but lying E-Farted immedietally after saying that. And things got awkward.

[Squark]

Can I join?

Sure. Just create a character can a backstory for him, and make comics!

But I HIGHLY recommend you read Trazoi's guide to Inkscape or That Lanky Bugger's MS paint guide, both of which can help you improve your art. I wish I had read Trazoi's guide before I got started. Also, read the various rules stuff in the OP that I inadvertently helped create when I joined, so you don't get branded for life as a plot-breaker. Of course, I have helped to sustain that reputation...

In all seriousness, its just that school is beginning to start up, so posting during this time period will slow down, when Canadians and citizens of the U.S.* are at school or work.



*Isn't it kind of arrogant that we call ourselves Americans? What about people from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, or Columbus? They're Americans, too!

I'm very aware of this, so I usually use USAires in place of Americans, and ask which part of the Americas someone is from when someone says they're from "America".

How did two whole continents, lose their name to one constituent?
Where were we when the US went, and took the word "American" away?

But I think I have a plan! Let's become Antarcticans!
And join up with the penguins, for just like them...
We're NOT! American!

[Squark]

Also, how do you "e-fart"?
