SDNW5 Preliminary Discussion Thread

[Imperial528]

*Cernan considers joining in silliness, decides against it. Goes back to sipping a warm cup of SPACE TEA while watching a match of ORK VS CRAB arm wrestling on the SPACE PUB's flat screen*

[Skywalker_T-65]

Let's carry this over to commentary, okay?

Okay then...who wants to go hunting the Space Pirates?

(or the SPACE VIKINGS for that matter)

[Force Lord]

Grrahhh....

I hear-by pause the duel for now. Note Migraines are NOT very Bishy -_-
Expect me to make jokes about Blackstar in the future however. (Pops a bunch of aspirin and heads to bed)

Humbug! Very well, the duel will be finished later. And then the joke's on you! *cackles*

Kierger: "What's this about novice psykers? They need training? Have no fear, the Center of Special Abilities would like to help out! Our training is rigorous, but it follows a high standard respected by the cosmos! You just need to sign here, and here, and here...."

[Rabid]

"Nah, we're already good with our League buddies !"

*catch the League's ambassador in his arm*

"Am I right, dude ?"

[Skywalker_T-65]

'Why do I suddenly feel sorry for the League...' (Arcadian)

'We both know the answer to that question...' (Furling)

'AND WHY DON'T WE HAVE ANY PSYKERS OF OUR OWN!!' (Both of them)

SPACE ANNOUNCERS:

"Over to you, Ben."

(rubs head) oh mannn... was I out of it last nigh Did I really use the words "intersteller furry convention???"
I have this dim memory of actually planning on totally junking my current nation and backstory and doing an nation based solely upon the concept of a civilization of Bishonen and Yaoi drones, a weird Anti-Amazons civilization. I woke up this morning finding I had actually writing stuff... stuff I hope shall never ever see the light of day (shivers)
In other news, if we ARE discussing the training of "Psykers" and mental people. One of my member planet has a whole race that has advanced mental training, can speak to each other mentally, mentally translate almost any language, and various "other" things.

[modhat off]

I share this hope.

[modhat on]

There is, strictly speaking, nothing in the rules that you can't create a nation based on this, though since it's a one trick... pony, I doubt it's more than small-micronation material. I'd seriously intended to reference a one-planet Amazon civilization at some point, and turnabout is, strictly speaking, fair play.

[modhat off]

I still share the hope that this never sees the light of day.

[Akhlut]

Is there anything humans could do that wouldn't be more proof of their inferiority to the Hoavi?

No, but there are differences in amount.

The Scumdogs do say that coupling with the apes was the stupidest thing they had ever done, though.

[White Haven]

Bah, I don't have a stable of characters to draw a duelist from.

[Force Lord]

Bah, I don't have a stable of characters to draw a duelist from.

[Centralist duelist is informed that League counterpart was not available]

"Man, they chickened out or something? Honestly, I was a little shaken too."

[Simon_Jester]

White Haven, that's the first thing you need to do- characters.

I have GOT to get you to read the Pleistocene Exile novels. Shit, I'll mail you my copy of the first book if I can find it...

[Crossroads Inc.]

Bah, I don't have a stable of characters to draw a duelist from.

You know you don;t have to.. thats part of the fun.. I just used "Myself" to duel Force Lord.
Thats part of real wild Role Play. You just make shit up as you go along Try it some time.

Ask yourself.. "What sort of mighty Warrior would "White Haven" be?"

[White Haven]

Heh, take a raincheck, Forcie. My only established League characters so far are either centuries dead, or only in the larval form of a Murderous Rage badass. Your time will come...

[Force Lord]

Heh, take a raincheck, Forcie. My only established League characters so far are either centuries dead, or only in the larval form of a Murderous Rage badass. Your time will come...

I'll be waiting, and in the meantime...



...I'll admire my new raincheck.

"And next on ISPN, results of the arenas on the World of Tanks..."

"And next on ISPN, results of the arenas on the World of Tanks..."

[sees scoreboard, eyes widen]

"HAAAAAAX!!!"

[Feralgnoll]

Clearly this is why the Orks replace thier arms with giant mechnical claws, designed specifically for arm wrestling giant crabs.

Because that is exactlyt he sort of thing Orks would do.

YES! haha. If the Orks can set up the truck stops and fast food stations of the interstellar trade routes, then I believe the Crabs might give a bigmuthafucking discount to deliveries there. Because the Crab Goddess fuckin approves of Ork/Crab claw wraslin.

[Simon_Jester]

For the record, SDNW4 orks were a little mellower than 40k orks. They're really not all that much more violent than, say, Attila the Hun.

And like Attila the Hun, they enjoy a good drunken party, even when no one gets blown to bits or has their arm pincered off by a giant enemy crab, although that always helps.

I see no reason for this to change in SDNW5, should we choose to re-import the orks.

[Vanas]

In the meantime, the Bees are looking at all this with a collective sense of utter bafflement. Obviously, non-giant-swarm-minds are deeply unstable.

Homura: Your "training," if it can be called that, also turns them into psychologically scarred Manchurian candidates. You forgot to mention that, though I'm sure it's in the fine print of that contract you want them to sign.

Nanoha: In any case, the Holy Empire's own civilian and military esper academies would be more than happy to accept students from the Nation. They will learn from among the best and greatest, including yours truly. In the meantime, though, since the League of Thought apparently refuses of partake in the Centralists' challenge, I will do so on their behalf, though a one-on-one fight would certainly not be fair. Instead, the Centrality will send ten of its best espers to face me. They will learn first-hand why I'm the White Devil and they're a bunch of black-garbed schmucks.

Such a civilization would have an extremely short life expectancy, especially if a certain Puella Magi has her way. They will be cast back into the darkness from whence they came, but not before they see a bright light in their skies...

[OmegaChief]

"And next on ISPN, results of the arenas on the World of Tanks..."

The World of Tanks...

A planet that is nothing but one constant world wide tank battle, using tanks from all nations at all points of history, this has so got to be a Micronation now.

[Rabid]

Wouldn't that be an Authority's Shield planet ? That's what I thought about, first.
