On the other hand, you could think about the planet that's going to receive a baby with superpowers.

You realize it was a christian attempting to blow up a bunch of muslims, not the other way around, right?

Decoys. Lots, and lots, and lots, of nuclear decoys.

No overmind means the karlack's true berserker fury is unleashed, great plan CN I expect nothing less from you. The Psychic influence of the Karlack aspects are basically the only thing stopping the Karlacks from running amock and trying to eat pretty much the entire galaxy. And also completely des...

Sounds like the perfect thing to put on an anti-mothership warhead against the Karlacks.

No psychic power = No Overmind

Also, I can imagine it isn't something you would want near your exotic engines and power plants, what with all of the reality bending.

Plead to them to let me have some of their stuff for research.

Then beg some more.

Well, I'm probably gonna get slaughtered in a few months, but at the very least, I'm going to destroy enough Haruhiist and Imperium ships to thaw the war in the Koprulu Zone. The coalition had better be prepared, too. 5000 x 8 is still less than my fleet even without system defenses. I just hope I c...

Anything that can phase in and out of existence or whose shields work in non-conventional (for SF anyway) ways should be able to "survive a blast", albeit by "cheating". Abyss already mentioned a few such things with stasis fields et al. I'm not sure if it exists, but if a techb...

I suppose the Shellworlds from Matter could probably survive a DS superlaser, albeit with damage. Not really enough information available to calculate but we know that they require a large amount of antimatter annihilated near to the core in order to destroy them, so they should be considerably mor...

Whoever uses this magical artifact is going to be a terrible matchmaker, especially if they are a useless internet permavirgin who has never experienced life or sex. How long does the effect last? Does the effect simply cause lust, or actual desire for a long term relationship? If the former, that ...

Except not everyone is morally bankrupt and capable of being happy while living a sham?

They work on yourself too.

So it's a question of how bad it is to trample someone else's free will to make them happy then? Love =/= happiness. Assuming you used them to get huge wad of cash while you were at it, you'll have most everything set for a happy life. Lets say you shoot someone for a quick fuck. Then you set that ...

No one has figured out any uses for the hate arrows yet? Ethical questions aside (and they are serious questions), I can't really think of any non-petty uses for either of the arrow types. What am I going to do, make a gal fall in love with me? Make someone in politics hate another person in politi...

This is why philosophies based purely on the pursuit of happiness don't work, IMHO. Happiness is only as good as its underlying reason. You could have a world where everyone has their pleasure centers wired up and is tended to by robots, and of course they'd be happy as fuck and never feel pain, bu...

Because everyone involved turns out happy. It's one thing to say something is bad when someone loses, but mind control makes things more complicated. Then by that logic, undetected theft is okay because everyone's happy! The guy you stole it from is none the wiser, and you get something you didn't ...

So it's a question of how bad it is to trample someone else's free will to make them happy then? Mind control makes you happy! After all, you don't know right? Someone else is pulling the strings, so it's perfectly okay! It's It's even more okay if you're the one pulling the strings to make that pe...

Yes, and your point is? This isn't an "Are you a beacon of morality?" thread. Besides, as long as you keep up your end of the relationship, they aren't going to ever regret it. Ah, so this is a "find out which one of these guys is sociopathic enough to give a fuck you to everyone els...

I still can't think of any uses of the hate arrows. Isn't this, in essence, just like that "What would you do if you had a death note?" RAR? Because the question of both basically boils down to "How willing are you to screw over your fellow man with supernatural powers?" No, beca...

The arrows are invisible and intangible to everyone but you.

Yeah, cover the Republicans in shit. How is that supposed to hurt him politically?

Just give it a rotary Eclipse superlaser with however many it takes to get a RoF of 1 per second.

Also, once an arrow is used, it disappears.

An easy get-rich-quick scheme would be to just to shoot someone rich, and have them pay you money to shoot the person the fall in love with.

Scenario A Cupid gets bored, and decides to watch a human screw around with his stuff. He gives you a bag of arrows that no one can see (bag and arrows are invisible), and the bag automatically refills up to a max of 1000 arrows total. Anyone hit or scratched by the arrows will fall madly in love wi...
