As this thread has me nerding out some more, I give to you A BASIC CALCULATOR!

https://transfercalculator.com/calculator/index.html?e=egg

It's got brachistochrone trajectories enabled (Epstine Drive, y'all), so you can figure out your direct burns and one more prove that real time spehss is totally doable without FTL-foo. as of TODAY, it's 6.6 days to get from Earth to Jupiter at 1g, 12.1 days to do it at 0.3g. I really want to figure out a way to get this stuff done under variable accelerations, like... bursts of higher than 1g. But I'm zany.

Every time this updates I think it is a Mistborn thing.

... blind guy on a MU* ...

If you pose having a service dog and then just up and let others come up and give them head pats? I will cut you. PUPPER IS A HARD-WORKING INDIVIDUAL DOING THEIR JOB.

(disclaimer: I have seen this happen else-mu. And I point this out ICly. Loudly. And am somehow the badguy.)

My long-term aspiration is to never die. Every day I live is a success towards that end. FEED ME XP.

The biggest issue with the flowchart is it gives suuuuuper little information. So people who do not have a certain level of knowledge going in are just blindsided.

RISE, THREAD!!

So, I finally found this damn code. On the busted old laptop that won't let me connect to a network to transfer the files, or use a USB stick to move them over that way. More news as this develops.

So I got my 'Your Eclipse Phase Hardcopy from the Kickstarter just shipped' email today. So THAT. Arx in space, where you can be a squid that shoots lasers.

Followup question for Serenity Staff here: what kind of game do you WANT? Like... activity-wise? Because the soapbox is like 90% WoD mindset, with the fast-travel and handwaving money and all that boring bar-RP (all of that is probably better discussed in depth elsewhere).

@Lotherio said in Things We Should Have Learned Sooner:

Isn't the greater number of minutes relative to the toastierness of the bread though?

I mean... yes, but minutes are the primary function of the dial, rather than an obscure 'toastiness' meter.

Continuing on... Helicopters do not fly by the blades shoving air down, but rather by the blades pulling the fuselage up (lift is weird, okay?)

I am torn on this vote, because modifications are obviously needed. But not to the degree of the Ares Pyramid.

Edit - would help if I read the whole poll.

I am slightly curious about this "TS Mystery" genre.

... Oh, wait, there's the comma. Hahahaha, my bad.

Could not find a 'Who is in my mouth?' gif, and honestly, not sure if I'm upset over that or not.

I don't know what brought this to mind... probably arguing with a DoC guy I know, but I figured this out a couple years ago, WAAAAY too long after initially reading it.

In 'To Kill a Mockingbird', we are told that Tom Robinson, a black man found guilty of a crime he was physically incapable of committing, was shot while trying to escape prison. This happens 'off camera', but I vaguely recall the family talking about how Tom HAD TO HAVE KNOWN he couldn't climb over a fence, what with the crippled arm, and all.

What I should have learned sooner is that he did not try to escape. The prison guards executed him, and gave what should have been an easily seen-through false-narrative. Hell, the whole trial is foreshadowing how nobody looks at the evidence, you just assume the story you are told is true.

Not taking Mummy seriously STRIKES AGAIN

@Ghost said in TS - Danger zone:

I've wondered sometimes (and never asked, perhaps I should have) if the "you" was because they were knowingly trying to put me, the player, as the target of an action or if they were honestly trying to write scenes from a 2nd person perspective for the reader to absorb.

Three or four paragraphs of "She grabs her boob" get super confusing.

My solution is I try to get multiple words to use. 'She grabs the readhead's boob', 'The vampire fondles the werewolf's ears', 'the doctor violates every aspect of the hippocratic oath while 'examining' the eldritch monster', and so on. Grammar is hard, and I tend to just have MASSIVE... run-on sentences, so it gets a little complicated.

As for references for @SinCerely - they're all distracted in the orgy pit, it might take a while for them to inform you that I'm weird as fuck, but... adorkable while doing it.

Can we please take politics discussion to the politics board? There's a place for it. Thanks!

Real World Peeve: when people put their fingers in their ears and want to ignore discussion about how people put their fingers in their ears to ignore discussions.

I HEARD SOMEONE SAY FLYABLE SPACESHIPS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

@Tinuviel said in TS - Danger zone:

If you "don't have to" read it, then I shouldn't have to write the bloody thing.

I would be okay with that. X.x writing the description to get out of chargen is the worst. It doesn't help I've been mocked for how bad mine are. Playful mockery from my friends so I forgive them but...

Just steal one from the Bad Desc thread, and you're golden.

Preferably the Dick Cow @desc.

I HAVE a go-do desc that is 'This hoopy froodette who knows where her towel is is dressed appropriately for the situation!', and it /usually/ passes muster, but not always. A big factor in why I stopped playing that one game was 'if your @desc does not include this equipment, you do not have it for this fight' Okay. Please change the desc on the item so it matches? 'No.' Picked up a gun that's not your normal loadout but didn't upgrade the desc, so now I can't go dakka with it? Fuck off, staffer.

Back to the real questions. When is the orgy scheduled to start?

Yo, she's right. There's a politics board for a reason. Some of us do want a break from otherwise endless political rants.

She can be right about there being a place for things. And you can want a break from the politics talk.

But that doesn't mean I can't be annoyed by the idea that @Derp saying 'people ignore politics' is somehow a politically charged statement that, in a hilarious display of irony, @Sunny says can only be said over there, in a corner of the forum she can ignore.

It is a real world peeve that I have. It is not exclusively limited to politics (see also: science and/or religion).

I vote INAPPROPRIATELY COMPLICATED, with +stealth/obfuscate and passive resistance rolls, an entire library of 'does character know about x?' to avoid Int 1 Occult 0 Politics 0 people who know everything about vampire society...

Or at the very least, absolute minimum... Mummy in the database by default.

WHY are we discussing Ethics, when we could be playing 'Who is in my mouth?'?!?
