*gets a cybernetic heart*

SWEET! Now I use less endurance to do stuff! Wheeeeeeee!!!

....now how the hell does this internal ammunition storage help me punch people stronger?

((Think of it as being like Jack on Tekken. Your arms have "guns" but they don't actually use ammunition. Instead, a gunpowder cartridge ignites somewhere in your shoulder, causing pistons in your forearms and/or wrists to "fire" faster than they normally would, thus increasing the force of your punch.))

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.

But....but....

I didn't have enough money to replace my arm with a cybernetic one. T_T All I could afford was the heart and ammo bin.

((... The box of bullets isn't going to help you, then.

Unless you rig the ammunition to the end of your fist and it explodes on impact... But that's more like "going out with a bang..."))

1084: I will not buy the ammunition unless I am certain I can use it.

1085: I will not 'step out for a spot of tea' during a Black Op with my Euro Solo.

1086: I will not taunt the ful conversion borg by offering a 'lube job'... again.

1087: I will not shout 'How's Trimspa treating you now!' to a member of the Willow Sisterhood that is biosculpted to look like Anna Nicole.

1088: I will not try to talk my party into rigging the bodyloto count.

1089: I will not use an AoE spell targetted on the square next to the crib of the infant I'm trying to rescue.
1090: Assaulting an enemy from inside is never a good idea.
1091: I will not go one on one vs. a tiger if I have a CON score of 5.
1092: I WILL NOT LET GO OF THE ROPE.

That's the Evil Overlord list. We're looking for things not to do here.

Such as...

1095: A ballista is not an appropriate assassin's weapon, even if the rules don't disallow its use.


"If I had Force powers, vacuum or not my cape/clothes/hair would always be blowing in the Dramatic Wind." - Tenzhi

1096: I will NEVER insult, annoy, or even think negatively about the wizard with the Nuclear Destruction scroll.


 

Posted

1097: I will not make a smackdown, awesome witty retort before any action that requires a roll. Studies have SHOWN that you have a 98% chance of rolling a natch 1 when you're trying to prove you're awesome.

1098: I will no longer tell my party members "You guys can do whatever as long as you roll really well." Because if I do so, the Marine will end up jumping through the air, landing on the Hydralisk's back, one-shotting the Hydralisk with his sword, jump again, land on the Lurker before it can burrow, and then one-shot the Lurker.

1099: Never let someone escape with JUST their weapon getting knocked away after rolling three consecutive ones.

1100 Woot!: If the Tyranid players in your game of Space Hulk keep snickering and pointing at your miniatures, now is not the time to enter the next room with anyone less than the guy in Terminator Armor.

Actually, Babylon 5 features centauri Karkonite grenades, which are essentially hand-held nuclear bombs, so thats at leat one more setting right there.

Behold my banal nit-picking fury!


Oh, and of course,

1101.
I will not condescend to greater gods for fun, no matter how cool I am (or think I am).

1102.
Hitting on the king/merchant/deity's spouse is not an effective form of diplomacy.

1103.
... especially if you flub your roll.

1104.
I will stop purposefully making sure all of my characters have no significant emotional attachments what-so-for fear of having them levied agains me by the GM.

1105.
Just because I have a desturbingly thorough undersanding of such obscure topics as military science, 17th century european occult theory, and the economic history of the Byzantine Empire does not meen that everyone else at the gamign table wants to hear about it.

1106.
I will not ever again roll dice to determine my characters actions while they are intoxicated. No level of pretend drunkeness is an excuse for giving the fantasy gaming world another slutty bi-sexual sorceress, even if its just the one time.

1107: Just because I roll 5 nach 20's does not mean that the DM will not smack me for getting that dragon into the bag, and then releasing it on the Troll army fragment that our party of Cleric, Paladin, Druid, and Kender just happened to come across... >.>

1108: My Kender will not use "Infinity Bottles of Mead on the Wall" as a psychological torture method.

( and from me hubby...)

1109: If the rescue mission for the packleader's spouse does not pan out, I will not say "Thank you Mario, but our Princess is in another castle" even if I do get xp for it.

1110: ( BINARY! wheeee ) If the GM starts arbitrarily raising people's powers to class 1000, it's time to find a new group.

1111: The Kender is not allowed to have a fire elemental as an animal companion (we haven't started that game yet :P )

1112: My wife is not allowed to have a Resources higher than 3. Ever.

1113: If I start rolling more 10's than is allowed by the rules of probability... I should probably stop.

1114: I am not allowed to make a character for a dungeon crawl who is afraid of the dark. Ever again.

( Back to me )

1115: I will not use a portabe hole to gather blackmail material on the elf cleric.

1116: I will not use the cleric as the meatshield.

1117: I will not attempt to toss the cleric at the enemy. Especially not if my rolls are good enough to crit, and horribly squish what I am aiming at. Especially if it is a Beholder. >.>

( and the hubby back with )

1118: The answer to "do you know what happens when you mix Hydrogen and Oxygen?!" is not "you get water."

1119: Nor is it "okay, water vapor."

1120: If it makes me or our roommate (the homicidal barbarian) giggle maniacally, it is to be assumed that the gm/dm/storyteller will NOT allow it. Even with puppydog eyes. (me)

(hubby again)
1121: Likewise, if they saw it on the History, Discovery, or Science channel.

1123: If my character's diety is the diety of Music. It can be a safe bet that if that character has an unreasonabe hatred for music and musicians, I will roll again.

1124. Elf country is not "Where the women are women and the men are too."


 

Posted

1125. I will not fall in love with the chaotic evil drow refugee, ESPECIALLY if I am the maiden paladin of three seperate virgin goddesses, two of whom have a penchant for pissyness.
1126. If something I do makes the DM start to giggle, I will duck and cover. Immediately.

1127. When taking a defect at it's maximum level, I will not twist it into an advantage for every scene...or at least not too often.
Collary to 1127: When sent out to kill someone, I will not use my character's unnatural charm (defect) to recruit her as an apprentice while concealing her from the proper authorities.


 

Posted

1123: If the Storyteller asks me a second time, "Are you -sure- you're with the rest of the party?" I will reconsider.

1124: Now is not the time to be honest (with the GM).

1125: I will not stand. Standing denotes that I'm "Sensuous," which means "Sensuous up, could you get me a drink/snack/etc.?" It eventually devolves into simply, "<insert gamer name>, sensuous?"
