Sorry 'bout that, big guy.

BUT ROBURKY WHAT DOES THIS MEEEEAAAAN CAN THEY STILL POST WHAT I JUST WHAT WHAT EVEN IS GOING ON ANYMORE

It's ok! The world is not ending*. You can still post. Nor should you hold your breath for an imminent conclusion to these mysterious events.

*quite yet

I hate you. So much.

...<3

Oh my god. It all makes sense now.

We've had an earthquake. We're all from bird-related schools, the tentacle monster was kind of like a snake, and most of us took air transport to the island. (That's great it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes and aeroplanes...)

It is indeed the end of the world as we know it.

Nute wins!

Edit: if you don't mind, can I write that into the death post I'll almost certainly end up preparing for Dazzler?

Dammit, Anxifera! Look at what you've done now!

If this entire game was set up to make an R.E.M. joke, I swear to jeebus that I will end you roBurky.

I just realised my last post could have been read in a manner I didn't intend. To be clear:
There is no imminent conclusion. I'm going to bed. Goodnight!

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Just out of curiousity, does anyone remember offhand if any attack has ever been stopped by a shield in any of these games?

Bladida successfully shielded Roburky before we found out his special power was being immune to everything in the last game, does that count?

Is Lenny Bruce not afraid?

Not that I've noticed.

Hmmm... tough call but I'm gonna have to go with "No, that makes the shield double-extra-super useless," for that one.

There is something rather ironic about it as well, but that will have to wait until the game is over.

Citadel, Night 2, Staff Sergeant - I think? Can't find a mention of this in the game posts at the time, only in the retrospective, so I'm not sure what happened there.

How much of the previous threads have you read, anyway? <curious>

Just Citadel so far.

Oh man. Fucking Bahimiron with the funniest line in the entire AAR.

Read Ruins! Watch Speak get drunk and harass a bunch of people! Also, more doomed romance and me being Batman.

...somehow, I don't remember that harassing part.

Hold on, lemme pull up a bunch of choice quotes.

Replaced with cat on Speak's request.

Could you please be so kind as to remove that post and put in a funny image instead before I die of gin-fueled embarrassment?

I'm completely serious, btw. Those quotes never needed to see the light of day again.

OH THAT'S RIGHT I'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT

This is why I play the characters that are demented, ahahahahahaha~

Sorry. They're all gone now.

Thank you! Though now Pache has decided he has to read that entire thread anyway. Dammit, people. >.<

Well now he gets to see everyone else be equally if not more embarrassing. It'll spread the embarrassment around a bit (I just re-read a few really cheesy lines that I can't remember writing at all).

Clearly the plot to make him read the thread for the thread's awesomeness itself is working! Great job guys, we've got another one!
EDIT: Oh uh since Nebty's re-editing reminded me. I was in a work fuelled work haze back then. So there's my thing.

I swear, the weird stuff happened at, like, 3:30 AM with all of us egging each other on in the off-topic thread (and the crotchety old men posting burn it with fire gifs).

EDIT: I wonder where that slash fic thread ended up...

Unrelatedly, I hope you realize that since you've killed off the robopope, it's up to you all to select a new one.

From the current survivor pool.

My money's on Lazy. "Suffering of millions? Om nom nom."

Actually I do wonder at Nebty's story for how that progresses, should there be survivors of the end.
Because yes, you have to put that in now that you mentioned it. It's a law.

I, for one, welcome our new Deep One overlords.

DON'T GO THERE, NEBTY. Or Pache. ESPECIALLY Pache. >.<

Your new avatar is gorgeous, Nebty. <3

And I vote for Lazy Shiftless Bastard to be the next High Priestess.

What's that? Deep Ones/Dazzler slashfic? Whatever you say, boss.

So I went back to see Ruins of Light's Glory to see my posts and WELP:
First of all, NO REGRETS! I DIED WITH ROBURKY :D
On the 34th page, as the 1337th post how grand~

....in Machinations I died on the 34th page. As the 1335th post. That's just fucking eerie, guys. <3

brb screaming

so much screaming

Well, if you insist. =)

This is why you let your popes retire, guys.

Thanks! I was having a hard time deciding what my death avatar should be, and I'm still not quite sure. Here's the shortlist.



#1: I like this one because of the similarity to my living avatar (the position of the head, as you can see) and the contrasting colour scheme.



#2 (the one I'm using now) : I like this one because of the metal embellishments on the face and the flaming tears, which look suitably demonic.



#3: I love this image but it doesn't crop well.

Ohohoho, do you really want to hear it?
