[Nexus] OOC 26: Handwavium half off!

[UncleWolf]

Nah, Warsh is probably safe. Javert wants the attention on himself for a reason. Which is why I edited a bit to make it a bit more obvious.

Then Eon and Gertrude show up!

"Um...Hi...Eon...Uh...How did she know my name?"

Just so you know TS, I'm not ignoring this. Since the two groups came together it's Zefir's turn in the posting order. I just wanted to head off any pokes that come my way.

[The Bushranger]

And I'm off for the night. Gonna be away all day tomorrow...
Night y'all!

[Zefir]

I thought that was waiting on you? Did you ever say whether or not the shadow-shield got put up around it?

Also, unless something odd happens, I have to deadtime after this round of posts.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

shadow shield? I don't know when that happens I didn't saw any post after my last one.

[billtodamax]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This is an excellent holiday, and it should be celebrated in Australia more. Luckily, I have an American neighbour.

Adrin's trying to encase the spider mine in solid shadows, so I've been waiting to see if that worked before posting.

Also, it's interesting what you'll type when you're tired. I almost wrote that he was trying to encase it in solid statues.

Oh, and happy Thanksgiving to you as well, Billtodamax.

[Distraction Street - Inferno]

As the lava blood stuff surges over Gustav a bubble of blue energy flickers into existence around him, protecting him from the molten material and the heat.

Meanwhile, Mewtwo takes this opportunity to move a bit closer then lets loose with his payload. The launcher fires the Annihilator Missile directly at the center of the titan's chest. Oh, and it's heat seeking.

If it connects, it explodes with a hail of shrapnel! What's more, the shrapnel explodes as well! Bwahahahahahahaaaaaa! *cough*

You forgot the part where the initial explosion drives an explosive rod inside the titan, so that the shrapnel (from the second stage of the explosion) tears through the titan's innards before exploding again, instead of raining uselessly off the titan's chest.

Also, I'm pretty sure I originally said Annihilator Missiles were exclusively dumb missiles, for OoC reasons because there's a limit to how overpowered I was willing to make the things, and the IC reason being KR-15 never managed to design a heat seeking mechanism that was also explosive as well. But then, it could have been redesigned since by Remnant technicians since to include such a thing (IF THEY DARED). Not that it matters much, when your target is 60 feet tall.

Ssssshhhh... Kris, everything is gonna be okay. Just sit back and watch the fireworks.

*Passes out popcorn.*

[Ashen Lilies]

But... but... they're my fireworks, and I'll be damned if they don't explode the way I designed them to!

You know that the spider mine blew off a few secounds after swallowed? Bad inner theeths this shark got, but after all the mine isn't magic resistent or anything alike.

[happyturtle]

*pokes Zefir to Riverside*

I'm taking another day of rest. I talked too much yesterday.

[Lady Serpentine]

Yep. The point was to contain the blast if it was going to explode. So... would that have been effective?

[Gullara]

But... but... they're my fireworks, and I'll be damned if they don't explode the way I designed them to!

Edited Inside. Ask and you shall receive.

[Zefir]

Well if you try to save the mine befor it got crushe by the shark it won't even explode, but if you try it after it will be to late.^^

[Lady Serpentine]

He's trying to avoid adding fire and shrapnel to the shark teeth, so I suppose that attempting to encase it before it goes off is what he did.

[Zefir]

Well then go on the mine wouldn't go off if it's saved in the shadow bubble. But still it's not inactive.

[VampireRot]

Sorry for the rather sporadic posting lately, but between Skyrim and Thanksgiving, I haven't had much time to post. And I probably won't continuing through the weekend too.

[Lady Serpentine]

It keeps saying

When I try to post in Inside, but posting in the Nest thread works fine, and, obviously, so does posting here. Any idea what's going on?

[AmberVael]

Just as a test, I posted something random in Inside. Seems to work fine for me.

[Lady Serpentine]

I tried again, in the new window your link opened, and got the same message. Weird...

[Zefir]

Maybe it has something to do with your firewall? Or did you install another virus checking program, because they tend to block pages you visit often.

On another note tell your problem here: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=25

[Lady Serpentine]

It shouldn't be either of those - I didn't change my firewall recently, or install any new antivirus stuff. I was just posting, and all of a sudden, that happened.

Thanks for the link!

Posted for Serious, lemme know if I missed anyone.

Also, apologies if I'm a bit slow on the uptake for the Time Tower. I haven't had a good GM in a while, let alone one that came up with actual riddles.

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or I should be offended on behalf of your previous GM's.

I'm having far too much fun describing all the fiddly little details here though. If I'm not careful, I might just end up running plots all the time if this works out well.

Nah, I love my characters far too much to do that to them.

So does those 'other GM's' include me?

[Reinholdt]

Well the only person who isn't guessing as to what will happen and each riddle's solution is Slii, so don't feel bad or embarrassed or anything.

Riddles can be fun. Mostly in watching the PCs try to power through them if they fail to come up with the solution.

[Murkus]

@SC: I totally meant the RL ones. I like your plots. >.>

@Reinholdt: It's just a shame we aren't using dicerolls and skills and such. It's even more fun to watch the PC's roll 20's and actually manage to brute force their way through a complex riddle. Of course, there's no fun involved if they do that every time, so...

You're one to talk. You've wracked up the most brownie points so far on each floor. If I didn't know any better I'd say you snuck a peak at my notes.

I left the absolute messiest ones in reserve though. Remember all that talk about silly math I do? I had to create a silly algorithm for a couple of the future traps.

Oh I'm gonna have so much fun.

[Reinholdt]

Hey! It was hard to figure out my guess for the second one! I was trying to figure out how the heck to represent seven different time units across six circles and how many steps should be in a year when I figured out the link between six and seven.

Also I like maths.
