Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIV, The Random Kill Strikes Back. Again...

[DoomITP]

I don't think I'll be able to finish a comic before tomorrow, as I have to make a Plot 3 comic and finish drawing a bowl of fruit in an expressionist style for a school project.

Dang fruit

@Rand: I'm about Random Kill your again...

oh god, the jibberish!

[Omega]

Sorry, EDITED!

@Rand: I'm about to Randomly Kill you again...

Oh god, the empty threats!

Maybe we should cut MR a little slack, constantly attacking his comics isn't going to drive him to improve, just to give up.

Besides, I found it obvious that he meant Simulacrum.

On the contrary! Knowing his comics are terrible will drive him to improve his art and writing!

[Fawkes]

When MR first showed up, we gave him constructive criticism and offered to help him improve. He did not improve. Or speak coherently.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Threeshades could you please advance the "Threeshades is dead again" segment of the Vendetta?

I don't exactly have the time right now to make another ABR comic for anything, but certainly I'm not the only person who could continue comfortably afterwards.

[Shades of Gray]

Ooh, Shiny. Now ADVANCE THE PLOT
*Cracks a whip over SoG's head*

Speaking of which, When Oliver returned to his inter-planar journey, did he bring the Vendetta? Or did he just leave it somewhere in Avbroy, (maybe he couldn't find somebody to cast Planar Navigation for him).

He took the Vendetta with him, traveling in it. Then (I may make a comic of this after Skornbail) when he was going back to Avbaroy, the plane shifter malfunctioned, sending the Vendetta to Fudge Land and himself to The Citadel.

[Lyinginbedmon]

If you actually think about it, having an entire vehicle impervious to teleportation inside and out is actually a fairly bad idea, for exactly the reasons we're experiencing.

If there was the ability to teleport around inside the ship, we'd be able to get around much faster. Troops could be sent to the battlefield with all the speed of saying "Four to beam".

Conversely, of course, it would also mean that enemy units could teleport into the ship (Given the appropriate information, as per teleport).

This is why the Citadel's anti-teleportation etc. devices are only turned on when the shield is up, which assumes an enemy attack anyway and also makes the shield nigh-impenetrable.

[BRC]

It's probably possible to turn the Anti-port field on and off in the Vendetta. However, those systems are currently under the Shade's control. They know they are up against multiple powerful spellcasters, while they have relitivly few spellcasters who can Teleport anyway. Therefore, they keep the systems on. They don't wany Lying to teleport onboard, take Leroy, drop a Jovocain missle, and teleport off again.

You can teleport around the inside of the Vendetta. And even scry other parts of the ship. You just can't teleport/scry though the hull, IIRC.

[Keris]

I made it better!

Spoiler

You... glued the images together so it would be easier to archive? Anything else?

And I just realised something.... Keris's isn't wearing gloves.

[Fawkes]

Compare with the previous one.

And not anymore, he isn't!

[Keris]

Ah. Dialogue changes. Makes us act less out of character, while retaining the same basic content as the original.

[DoomITP]

Anyone mind telling me how to make a hole that is transparent in a item. Like the area of a gun that you pull the trigger in. How do you remove the fill from that area?

[Fawkes]

Now you've got it.

Fawkes wold never say "he got nuts"

[Shades of Gray]

Make an L shaped Item for the gun and handle. Make a smaller L shape . and angle it opposite of the rest of the gun. Ctrl-G to make an object.

[Szilard]

Or, make the hollow area as a path, place it on top of the thing you want hollow, and hold the ctrl and - key when both objects are selected.

[DoomITP]

that's what I was thinking of.

[Szilard]

So, megadoomer, are you making the next SDSB comic?

[DoomITP]

Yeah, I'm gonna start it now. Finish later tonight. Might post it later tonight or tomorrow morning.

[Szilard]

Cool, in the meantime, I have to finish what little is left of my homework.

[Lyinginbedmon]

I sleep now.

I imagine it will be a nightmare-filled sleep, having just watched several clips from Battlefield Earth, which is certainly as bad, if not worse, than it's original literary counterpart.

[Keris]

"To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause."

Sleep sound good right now... but the forum is still active!

[Tiffanie Lirle]

The irony here is that I've just awoken from the most nightmare filled sleep I've had in.. ever.

If you're telepathically sending your bad dreams over here, there will be hell to pay.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Nope I'm good, fortunately for me sleep tends to pass REM into a strange new dimension.

Most nights anyway.

[Mina Kobold]

@Mechafox: Great! It looks better now. He's gonna spit out that glove anyway (his taste is about normal)
