I'd just like to have it on record that I have no serious problems with Downfall - sure, there were Eoghan and Ascendant ships there before the Byzantines could have showed up, but there's plenty of ways for things to have turned out that way.

I couldn't get my next story post to come out right, so I cheated and did a news post instead.

Ascendant News Service The Truth, Broadly Speaking Ascendant Armies Accrue Acclaim : Fighting in space and on the ground in the Multiuniversal Empire of Happiness, the men, women, and beings of our armed forces are working to bring an end to the genocidal regime of The Leader.

Me too. I like this kind of diplomacy - in the grim darkness of the future, there is no tact!

Mr. Bishop certainly has an... interesting style of diplomacy.

EDIT: However, two can play at that game.

I think so, but I still get the impression that they're acting in good faith.

How do you mean roleplaying, exactly?

Good for them. It's always nice to see corruption going the way of the dinosaur; though I'm certain there's still room for improvement. the LAPD appears to be making an honest effort to turn itself into a model force. If only other organs of government had the same attitude...

Sorchus, some reinforcements for you.

Best wishes for another year, you plagiarizing poltroon!

Nonetheless, it smells like COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT! Lawsuits ahoy!

Force Lord, do I detect certain similarities between our messages?

The difference, of course, is that we like it when you blow up worlds.

Under some rules, if you make a spellcraft check and identify the spell coming, you may cast the identical spell (or the inverse, if there is one) specifically as a counter. And there's a feat - Improved Counterspelling, I think - that lets you cast any spell from the same school as a counterspell,...

For a given value of low-quality. Lucrehulks aren't actually warships; they're converted freighters - they mount huge numbers of smaller guns, because they were easier to install than heavier ones without the ship being built around them. Other designs are purpose-built warships and are perfectly ca...

Exactly. No-limits fallacies are a bad thing; I don't believe it has ever been demonstrated that Replicators can withstand Base Delta Zero-level firepower, which is what will be coming for them as soon as somebody recognizes that it's needed. were BDZ's ever used in the clone wars? I dought that th...

Why, the Munchkin Pantheon, of course. Ruled from on high by the Munchking, Lord of Min-Maxing.

Exactly. No-limits fallacies are a bad thing; I don't believe it has ever been demonstrated that Replicators can withstand Base Delta Zero-level firepower, which is what will be coming for them as soon as somebody recognizes that it's needed.

There's a fair chance something this weird would be passed up the chain of command, which ends with Palpatine - a man with proven abilities to see into the future. I'm predicting that the Replicator planet will be bombarded from orbit before they have a chance to do much. If the Replicators manage t...

I think of them more as tragically misunderstood creatures who've been done wrong by the galactic literary-industrial complex.

And I was so excited for a moment...
