[OOC] From Stardust, to Stardust: Tales of Andromeda, a Sci-Fi Fantasy RP

[Keyguyperson]

For what reason would Duck pretend to be Zadubadabu (who has a delightfully whimsical name, by the way)?

@Samebito

It's a long story. Basically, because of a convo I had with Duck over Steam, I started to get more and more wary of him. When the Roa'marri came up, I was like "ERMAHGERD TEH NAEM" (Which is admittedly a terrible accusation to begin with, but I was pretty mad due to other circumstances at that point). Being the paranoid bastard I am, I started scrutinizing everything, and the magic-giving was a giant source of "Ermahgerd altz Duck wud totallyzz do dat". In hindsight, Duck really wouldn't make alts for personal advantage. That is NOT his style. Apologies for being all paranoid, I was under a lot of stress recently, and stress always clouds judgement. Especially with me, I can go somewhat insane under stress. In other news, Zabudabu does have a great name. Reminds me of that show I watched a billion years ago, the one with the lemur. (Thank god that giant blob of replies stopped, that was horrible)

@Keyguyperson

Fun fact, the United New Roa'marii Empire is a modified version of an empire I made with a friend of mine. That empire was called the United Empire of New Rome. I laughed quite a bit when I saw Duck post his New Roman Empire. As well as noticing a surprising amount of similarities between Duck's Romans and mine. Edit: I could still be an alt of Duck's we could all be alts of Duck. Even you Keyguyperson.

@Zadubadabu

BUM BUM BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM. WE'RE ALL ALTS. ALL OF US. WE'RE ALL JUST DUCK.

@Keyguyperson

My god, I think you're right. I never even realized I was Duck before.

@Durandal

Maybe 're all actually different figments of duck's mind, and Duck himself is the controller of our world... THE MATRIX

@WilsonTurner

What if Duck is God, and we're all only alts in technicality because HE IS SUBCONSCIOUSLY CONTROLLING US?!?

@Keyguy, I've been meaning to post for a while now, but when I was writing it up my computer crashed and I lost my post. I haven't found the time to rewrite it. I'll get it up soon though. Hopefully.

@Zadubadabu

By the way did I ever mention Keyguy accused me of being you?

@duck55223

Well, you're both online at the same time now, so I guess that accusation is gone. Which is good. I was scared for a bit there.

@Keyguyperson

I could be a Rogue skype account on my tablet, and Willy skype account on my computer, and a Duck account on my laptop. For all you know, I'm all three- but I was on on all three, and everyone might assume that, oh, it's not one person. Trust is really all we have.

@WilsonTurner

Very true. But we have to remember that Duck DOES have a younger brother, and those of you who have ever been to a house with a younger brother in it knows what that's like. Basically, I'm willing to ignore all the possibilities because I happen to like a good story, and me testing people constantly makes for a terrible story.

@Keyguyperson

I'm the youngest brother. I use airhorns and silly string on my brothers when they come home, and then beat them with rubber swords.

@WilsonTurner

That's how it works, all right. Lucky me, I'm an only child. EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the giant reply blob is already back.

@Keyguyperson

Is it? I never noticed. Oh! There it is! I still don't think it's quite as bad as

Consideribg covenant ships can actually be just a few hundred meters from the ground, they are clearly built to take gravity, at they very least they can withstand more than 4 times the gravity of Earth (Which covenant ships would have to be able to hold due to "Ti", the homeworld of the Lekgolo) and I would personally wager they could handle more. Furthermore, as demonstrated in Halo 4. A rag tag fleet of covenant ships recieving little to now maintainance in over 4 years is pulled into a forerunner planet by a gravity well and yet many ships survive and are fully operational to the best of our knowledge. Also, such a stratergy would be impractical; The power requirement would be too immense and the generator would likely end up damaging its self (Remember that the gravity would work on the boosters, shield generators, presumably the shields, the power cells etc,attached to the device, and if it is powerful enough to crush fleets its powerful enough to implode...

@darkwolf687

Stop ruining my ideas with your logic IT'S SCIENCE FICTION ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE /me falls into the sky

@WilsonTurner

It's Science Fiction Fantasy, even the impossible is possible. Including making the possible impossible through making the impossible possible because WE HAVE MAGIC AND NANOBOTS. MAGIC. AND NANOBOTS. NOTHING CAN STOP US.

@Keyguyperson

And that superduper rare thing that Duck found on one of your core planets from several hundred lightyears away! Dude, you should just mine it before he can get to it, and cart if off as they take the planet :D

@WilsonTurner

Pfft. The Abh are gonna be all like "Oh look they used that glowy blue stuff to build death robots, let's look for that on all of our planet. Oh look our homeworld is made out of it thus explaining it's gravity/size ratio how convenient. Let's make an army of death robots so we can actually invade planets without losing our entire armed forces." Then this roleplay becomes a mecha anime because two nations decided "The only way to invade planets is with giant death robots".

@Keyguyperson

Numero uno problem: The Draconians have antimatter missiles. "OP DEATH BOT SIGHTED!" "LOCKING ON!" *death bot is turned into stardust*

@WilsonTurner

TITLE DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP Then again, antimatter weapons against death bots in atmosphere doesn't strike me as the best idea. Regular missiles? Sure. Antimatter ones? Continents generally like to exist.

Anyone know this 'series'?

@WilsonTurner

The name of the series is in the lower right-hand corner of the image itself.

@ASTA

Hi there ASTA, planning to join the RP yet?

@Zadubadabu

A) You should know that ASTA probably isn't joining, unless you're not paying any attention or are feigning ignorance, and B)ASTA, you've been told repeatedly to stop posting without joining. Yes, it's right there, I realize thqt, but that's part of the fun- teasing whoever doesn't know that it's right. Congrats, you're ignoring the GM and ruining a joke.

@WilsonTurner

While I support the freedom of people to snark wherever they want, yeah, a lot of the people here really don't want you to stay apparently (I mean, Duck just hates you, but some people surely have legit opinions). Coming from someone who has respect for you, please stop posting here unless you have something nice to say that isn't also an attack. Still technically against the rules, but as you might have noticed, Duck and I aren't fully cooperating. Especially with *COUGH* some things *COUGH* existing in general. Oh yeah, by the way Zab, is there any news on how long until you get your next post out? Don't want to pressure you, it's just that this arc has a lot of potential.

@Keyguyperson

Why are Duck's thoughts considered non-legitimate?

@Samebito

I never said Duck's thoughts were non-legitimate. I said that "I hate you shut up" is not a valid reason for "banning" someone. I very much hope that he had other reasons, but honestly, I feel like the only reason he "banned" Asta was because he was angry at him for taking those shots at him.

@Keyguyperson

Though.

@Samebito

Oh. Oh Jesus. Why would you do this? WHY? ALL HOPE IS LOST! THE BLOB IS BACK IN IT'S TRUE FORM! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

@Keyguyperson

All hail our lord and savior the reply blob. He has come again to share his blobby goodness with the world.

@Zadubadabu

All hail.

@Durandal

@Keyguyperson

THIS IS NOT QUOTES THIS IS AMAZING I WANT TO CRASH RPG WITH THIS QUOTE CRAP!

@WilsonTurner

Join me, brother of the apocalypse. Together we can immanentize the eschaton.

@Samebito

The whaty-what? Please, explain this to me! Please, quote this so I know you are talking to me, and explain!

@WilsonTurner

"In political theory and theology, to immanentize the eschaton means trying to bring about the eschaton (the final, heaven-like stage of history) in the immanent world. It has been used by conservative critics as a pejorative reference to certain utopian projects, such as socialism, communism, and transhumanism.[1] In all these contexts it means "trying to make that which belongs to the afterlife happen here and now (on Earth)" or "trying to create heaven here on Earth." Theologically the belief is akin to Postmillennialism as reflected in the Social Gospel of the 1880-1930 era,[2] as well as Protestant reform movements during the Second Great Awakening in the 1830s and 1840s such as abolitionism.[3]" So yeah, that's that. The best part? We can do that. We can immanentize the eschaton through quotes! BAND TOGETHER, AND THE QUOTES SHALL RISE!

Oh yeah, by the way Zab, is there any news on how long until you get your next post out? Don't want to pressure you, it's just that this arc has a lot of potential.

@Keyguyperson

Why are Duck's thoughts considered non-legitimate?

@Samebito

I never said Duck's thoughts were non-legitimate. I said that "I hate you shut up" is not a valid reason for "banning" someone. I very much hope that he had other reasons, but honestly, I feel like the only reason he "banned" Asta was because he was angry at him for taking those shots at him.

@Keyguyperson

Though.

@Samebito

Oh. Oh Jesus. Why would you do this? WHY? ALL HOPE IS LOST! THE BLOB IS BACK IN IT'S TRUE FORM! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

@Keyguyperson

All hail our lord and savior the reply blob. He has come again to share his blobby goodness with the world.

@Zadubadabu

All hail.

THIS IS NOT QUOTES THIS IS AMAZING I WANT TO CRASH RPG WITH THIS QUOTE CRAP!

@WilsonTurner

Join me, brother of the apocalypse. Together we can immanentize the eschaton.

@Samebito

The whaty-what? Please, explain this to me! Please, quote this so I know you are talking to me, and explain!

@WilsonTurner

"In political theory and theology, to immanentize the eschaton means trying to bring about the eschaton (the final, heaven-like stage of history) in the immanent world. It has been used by conservative critics as a pejorative reference to certain utopian projects, such as socialism, communism, and transhumanism.[1] In all these contexts it means "trying to make that which belongs to the afterlife happen here and now (on Earth)" or "trying to create heaven here on Earth." Theologically the belief is akin to Postmillennialism as reflected in the Social Gospel of the 1880-1930 era,[2] as well as Protestant reform movements during the Second Great Awakening in the 1830s and 1840s such as abolitionism.[3]" So yeah, that's that. The best part? We can do that. We can immanentize the eschaton through quotes! BAND TOGETHER, AND THE QUOTES SHALL RISE!

@Keyguyperson

[WilsonTurner]

For what reason would Duck pretend to be Zadubadabu (who has a delightfully whimsical name, by the way)?

@Samebito

It's a long story. Basically, because of a convo I had with Duck over Steam, I started to get more and more wary of him. When the Roa'marri came up, I was like "ERMAHGERD TEH NAEM" (Which is admittedly a terrible accusation to begin with, but I was pretty mad due to other circumstances at that point). Being the paranoid bastard I am, I started scrutinizing everything, and the magic-giving was a giant source of "Ermahgerd altz Duck wud totallyzz do dat". In hindsight, Duck really wouldn't make alts for personal advantage. That is NOT his style. Apologies for being all paranoid, I was under a lot of stress recently, and stress always clouds judgement. Especially with me, I can go somewhat insane under stress. In other news, Zabudabu does have a great name. Reminds me of that show I watched a billion years ago, the one with the lemur. (Thank god that giant blob of replies stopped, that was horrible)

@Keyguyperson

Fun fact, the United New Roa'marii Empire is a modified version of an empire I made with a friend of mine. That empire was called the United Empire of New Rome. I laughed quite a bit when I saw Duck post his New Roman Empire. As well as noticing a surprising amount of similarities between Duck's Romans and mine. Edit: I could still be an alt of Duck's we could all be alts of Duck. Even you Keyguyperson.

@Zadubadabu

BUM BUM BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM. WE'RE ALL ALTS. ALL OF US. WE'RE ALL JUST DUCK.

@Keyguyperson

My god, I think you're right. I never even realized I was Duck before.

@Durandal

Maybe 're all actually different figments of duck's mind, and Duck himself is the controller of our world... THE MATRIX

@WilsonTurner

What if Duck is God, and we're all only alts in technicality because HE IS SUBCONSCIOUSLY CONTROLLING US?!?

@Keyguy, I've been meaning to post for a while now, but when I was writing it up my computer crashed and I lost my post. I haven't found the time to rewrite it. I'll get it up soon though. Hopefully.

@Zadubadabu

By the way did I ever mention Keyguy accused me of being you?

@duck55223

Well, you're both online at the same time now, so I guess that accusation is gone. Which is good. I was scared for a bit there.

@Keyguyperson

I could be a Rogue skype account on my tablet, and Willy skype account on my computer, and a Duck account on my laptop. For all you know, I'm all three- but I was on on all three, and everyone might assume that, oh, it's not one person. Trust is really all we have.

@WilsonTurner

Very true. But we have to remember that Duck DOES have a younger brother, and those of you who have ever been to a house with a younger brother in it knows what that's like. Basically, I'm willing to ignore all the possibilities because I happen to like a good story, and me testing people constantly makes for a terrible story.

@Keyguyperson

I'm the youngest brother. I use airhorns and silly string on my brothers when they come home, and then beat them with rubber swords.

@WilsonTurner

That's how it works, all right. Lucky me, I'm an only child. EDIT: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the giant reply blob is already back.

@Keyguyperson

Is it? I never noticed. Oh! There it is! I still don't think it's quite as bad as

Consideribg covenant ships can actually be just a few hundred meters from the ground, they are clearly built to take gravity, at they very least they can withstand more than 4 times the gravity of Earth (Which covenant ships would have to be able to hold due to "Ti", the homeworld of the Lekgolo) and I would personally wager they could handle more. Furthermore, as demonstrated in Halo 4. A rag tag fleet of covenant ships recieving little to now maintainance in over 4 years is pulled into a forerunner planet by a gravity well and yet many ships survive and are fully operational to the best of our knowledge. Also, such a stratergy would be impractical; The power requirement would be too immense and the generator would likely end up damaging its self (Remember that the gravity would work on the boosters, shield generators, presumably the shields, the power cells etc,attached to the device, and if it is powerful enough to crush fleets its powerful enough to implode...

@darkwolf687

Stop ruining my ideas with your logic IT'S SCIENCE FICTION ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE /me falls into the sky

@WilsonTurner

It's Science Fiction Fantasy, even the impossible is possible. Including making the possible impossible through making the impossible possible because WE HAVE MAGIC AND NANOBOTS. MAGIC. AND NANOBOTS. NOTHING CAN STOP US.

@Keyguyperson

And that superduper rare thing that Duck found on one of your core planets from several hundred lightyears away! Dude, you should just mine it before he can get to it, and cart if off as they take the planet :D

@WilsonTurner

Pfft. The Abh are gonna be all like "Oh look they used that glowy blue stuff to build death robots, let's look for that on all of our planet. Oh look our homeworld is made out of it thus explaining it's gravity/size ratio how convenient. Let's make an army of death robots so we can actually invade planets without losing our entire armed forces." Then this roleplay becomes a mecha anime because two nations decided "The only way to invade planets is with giant death robots".

@Keyguyperson

Numero uno problem: The Draconians have antimatter missiles. "OP DEATH BOT SIGHTED!" "LOCKING ON!" *death bot is turned into stardust*

@WilsonTurner

TITLE DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP Then again, antimatter weapons against death bots in atmosphere doesn't strike me as the best idea. Regular missiles? Sure. Antimatter ones? Continents generally like to exist.

Anyone know this 'series'?

@WilsonTurner

The name of the series is in the lower right-hand corner of the image itself.

@ASTA

Hi there ASTA, planning to join the RP yet?

@Zadubadabu

A) You should know that ASTA probably isn't joining, unless you're not paying any attention or are feigning ignorance, and B)ASTA, you've been told repeatedly to stop posting without joining. Yes, it's right there, I realize thqt, but that's part of the fun- teasing whoever doesn't know that it's right. Congrats, you're ignoring the GM and ruining a joke.

@WilsonTurner

While I support the freedom of people to snark wherever they want, yeah, a lot of the people here really don't want you to stay apparently (I mean, Duck just hates you, but some people surely have legit opinions).

I agree. Let this be the final page of grassposting shitposting.

[Queen Raidne]

Back again. Gosh, Maine sure has a lot of snow. Between shoveling, trying to figure out what's due for which class when due to snow days, and more shoveling, my week got a little crazy. Looks like my standard response time will be around 1-3 posts per week. Or you could just say two posts per week. Hopefully I'll be more regular from now on.

Edit: For the love of sanity, stop quoting more than two people (maximum) in a reply! The graphic designer in me is curled up in a corner bawling. You owe her an apology cupcake.

Nonsense, one can never have enough quotes.

I do not hate ASTA at all. If you do not ntnot plan on joining then do not post the OOC. As for you Sgt my only issue is the fabricators. If they are Star Trek rreplicators I can not allow them.

@duck55223

Ahh ok. They can only fabricate very small things or things with small mass.

[Unfortunately]

HOLY SHIT ALL THESE LINES

Fuck, my eyes! You owe me laser surgery! Anyway, i want to be really, really busy on my Internet time so i'll be making a Wall of Text app to post on here. Jesus. All these freezing cold and still mosquitoes are being rampant and keep biting my feet. I'm losing focus a bit since i'm getting a bit mad at these little spawns of Satan.

[SgtEasy]

Lag lag and oh joy, more lag. Can we all as a group say donger so we leave this page. Donger

[Samebito]

donger

[WilsonTurner]

Hmmm SgtEasy, here's some friendly advice: 5k kilometers is a short distance. In fact, some ships may be able to hit you from that range. Here's an example: 54.6 million kilometers is the length between Earth and Mars. With the technology in this roleplay, we can get between those two planets in a couple hours (if we're thinking more realistically, and not just "They leave Mars orbit and arrive in Earth's later"). Coming within 5000 kilometers of another fleet is like dropping a tank within 500 meters of another tank. When it comes to exactliness and all that, keep it vague. Say you're "Just out of extreme combat range" or "A great distance away" or somesuch. And also, don't ever name how many ships your fleet has. I kept trying to have specific numbers of ships, but it seemed that each time I did so, everyone else took the number and multiplied it anywhere from 10 to 100. Not to criticize, not to offend, just some advice.
