[Shroom Man 777]

[rolls eyes]

Yes yes. Like you know, he doesn't think of the Brags as pets.

Shroom and I told you about the plan like months ago. Clearly you have forgotten.

[Simon_Jester]

I know the plan perfectly well. I am merely sarcastic and hostile to it.

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

And you weren't back then. Retrospect modding much?

The imperium has and always has regarded most of the human race with contempt. Most of you simply failed to comprehend it. There were even plans to feed heretics to karlacks if it suited our purposes.

If you can be sarcastic and hostile for no logical reason, so can I.

I accept your right to be a raging dickhead. What I don't like is that you insist on behaving like a raging dickhead, then (to paraphrase an earlier comment of mine) come crying to us when we say that the God-Emperor of Man isn't nice.

If you want to be an asshole, accept that people will think you are an asshole, don't go running around with all this self-justifying whiny bullshit about "you knew I was an asshole, and I'm not really being an asshole because this is how my guys are dammit!"

You are being an asshole. That is your right. Noting and acknowledging that you are being an asshole is the right of others. Let us respect each others' rights.

I didn't know Mayabirdies was familiar with Gurren Lagann. Somehow, I'm not surprised that the PRFY fliers revere Kamina as a minor deity, for he is an example that all pilots, irrespective of what craft they fly, should strive towards.

[Simon_Jester]

Doing a couple of bridging posts. This is the first; next should be this evening, muses willing.

[Dark Hellion]

Updated google doc to include Emissary activity.

Technically, I don't think it's that, it's just that he kinda sorta-maybe resembles Rufus Shinra (well, FF7 Rufus, not so much SDNW1/SDNW2 Rufus) so they thought they were being "respectful" or something. Or mocking us, I suppose, the PRNFY being what it is. But we took the charitable explanation.

Are those PRNFY guys the guys underneath Commodore Coffee and all that? From Taskforce Cuntpuncher?

I would imagine so. That was my intent in naming that, anyway.

I'll give it a look sometime tonight.

[rolls eyes]

The coalition fleet will fight on, regardless. Treachery will not stop us. Oh, check your PM later.

As someone who's familiar with both characters, I don't really see the resemblance.

Rufus Shinra (with Rude and Tseng)
Kamina (with bonus Nia Teppelin! lol time paradox)

Compare, contrast, and be on the lookout for potentially NSFW ads. Two very different men. If anything, Kamina looks more like a blue-haired Cloud or Zack than Rufus.

If the PRFY flyers really wanted to honor Rufus Shinra, they should have brought along a statue of Shizuo Heiwajima instead (another member of their pantheon of badasses, you see) and tried to pass that off as a depiction of Rufus. They were probably just making do with what they had already brought with them; sending back for a Shizuo statue would have taken too much time.

[Mayabird]

You people are way, way overthinking the completely inaccurate space cardboard cutout.

This being said, the PRFY fliers should use "IZAYA-KUN!" as a warcry without having any idea why or what it means.

[RogueIce]

It's SDN. Overthinking is what we do.

Rufus Shinra (with Rude and Tseng)

That's actually a cool picture. Is that from something official, or fanart?

Yes. Definitely yes. It must be made so.

Believe it or not, it's really fanart. Most of the stuff on Danbooru is either fanart or completely original works.

[Tanasinn]

Speaking of danbooru, word of warning: it's heavily NSFW.

Also, it's full of touhous.

It's easy to avoid the NSFW content and the touhous if you know what you're doing, but it's really best to err on the side of caution. If you're willing to take the time to dredge through everything, though, you can find tons of stuff that can be useful for SDNW4 story posts and wiki entries.

[White Haven]

...There's something deeply wrong with that picture. Rude...without Reno.

[RogueIce]

Okay, an update. Battle of Wolf 359 is like 95% done. There is a skirmish I may plan at Alpha Centauri concurrent, but it's optional. IOW, if I can write it I'll write it, if not I won't and post what I got. It wouldn't make a major difference on the strategic scale either way.

Since other people want to write some stuff before it goes up, I'd say you've got until about Monday, as that's when I plan to post it. You know, as long as nobody else pulls some last-minute major game changer shit that makes me have to massively revise...

If you're unsure whether or not anything you intend might mess up what I got, send a PM to Shroom. He's uploaded a copy to GoogleDocs. Though I'd have to ask, out of respect for my writing and creative integrity, that you only ask if you have a genuine need to know and have real plans to write something that you think may change things significantly. I don't want everyone to see it before it's posted; I kinda like to reserve that for actual posting, y'know?

As a heads up, so long as it doesn't involve A) attacking a major MEH planet, B) destroying any MEH fleets, or C) altering the makeup of the coalition fleet, it's probably okay.

[Simon_Jester]

Regarding the upcoming fleet actions, I think I'll just leave this here. I suggest watching from around 4:23 onwards.

Once again, we learn why the Empress has marshals and admirals to take care of this sort of thing for her...

[Shinn Langley Soryu]

Okay, so I'm now running Pidgin, and I have absolutely no clue how to work the AIM component. Where is the SDNW4 chat located, anyway?

[RogueIce]

Send an IM to RogueIce2k3 and I'll hook you up.

[White Haven]

One trick you can do if you have a client that doesn't allow you to manually join a chat is to add yourself on your own friends list. That way you can invite yourself to a chat because AIM thinks you're someone else.

[Simon_Jester]

Madness indeed, Shroomy. Madness indeed.

Also, sigh, I appear to have picked up a MEH alter ego.

...

EDIT: Speaking of madness...

[Shroom Man 777]

"THIS IS ELYSIUM!"

"No it's not, you fool!"

"IT IS NOW!"




Poor poor T...



...Cells

[Force Lord]

I demand a fat MEH scientist with a red mustache who experiments with animals and has a hatred for spiny rodents!
