Bad Steelclaw! No donut!

So, I had my first-ever entire-thread deletion yesterday. Which isn't too bad considering how long I've been posting and the sort of stuff I normally post.

Zwillinger wrote me an inflamatory note danging me to heck where I shall be poked by the pitch-spork of Phil of Insufficient Light. (Actually, he wrote a very nice message explaining why it had been deleted and encouraging me not to take it personally, but THAT version of reality doesn't lend itself to making a new list post at all...)

Below find a list of the horrendous, awful punishments with which Zwillinger has suggested I be afflicted...

* Hack into all my spreadsheets.... Find All "+", change to "*"... sit back and watch Steelclaw hemmorage as all his pretty little scoring values change and he finds he has to buy half Wentworth's stock just to build a recipe.

* Disable the "Delete Character" function on my account.

* Upon entering the Character Creator, must now answer a long series of questions such as "Did your Tournament give you permission to create this new character?", "Are you SURE you didn't cheat to make this?" and "You're lying to me, aren't you?"

* Fusionette now accompanies me on EVERY one of my missions... and she's power-suppressed.

* Every character now has the "Charity" aura... any time they stand near another player character they will "leak" influence from their total into the nearby player's. This fact will be advertised in local chat every three minutes.

* Every character will now (as in The Sims) have a Bladder Bar. When it fills... the character spills... ie- they wet themselves embarassingly and get the flies aura until they jump in water. Oh, despite the Bladder Bar, all Mens and Ladies bathroom doors still won't open for them.

* Until forgiven, every character has a completely new Alignment designation. Instead of the usual, Hero, Villain, Rogue and Vigilante... all characters shall have the Alignment "Naughty."

* Every OTHER character in a zone containing one my characters will automatically earn the Temp power "Mudball" similar to snowball. My character will be the only one targetable by this power. Mudball creates brown smears on the outermost costume layers and Slows in small, accumulating increments.

* My gold-plating has been down-graded to tinfoil.


My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

Wait. So long as mission success doesn't depend on her survival, this is actually a bonus. DEVS, I WANT THIS FEATURE TOO!

What?!? And I MISSED it?!?

It was bad enough to be deleted and I have no idea what it was?!?

And now I suppose that you cannot even intimate what the thread was about, lest you go back to the Punishment Closet.

"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

I think I can guess... it was probably his "Duo Act b/w Positron and Synapse" thread.

BUZZZZ!

We're sorry... that is not the correct answer! But you DO win our consolation prize of the Steelclaw Home Game!

Please note the Surgeon General does NOT recommend actually bringing the Steelclaw Home Game to your home... for various reasons.

Nah, the one I got deleted was recent, just put it out yesterday.

I'm not going to comment on it further because, after reading Zwillinger's reasons for deleting it, I find myself in agreement with him that it should definitely have gone the way of the Dodo.

If it's the "Day Jobs of the Signature Heroes" then I'm guessing it was deleted for exactly the same reason I decided to stop reading it.

It seems that "Nude Attacking a Space Craft" will be on display at the Talos Museum of Modern Art, and to appease the insurance providers, the TMMA has hired Overdrive to protect the exhibit.

You could go over there, bring her coffee and offer her a hand.

But then again, if you tried to steal something, Overdrive would almost certainly have to... punish you.

I'm sure it was a very special thread Steelclaw. One which required a lot of thought and alcohol.

I want the charity aura for myself. And I want the mudball temp power.


Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

Steelclaw, I think this means that you have lost the Forum Game. You need to delete all your posts and start over again.

... up on a pedestal in a glass case in a museum, and occasionally the subject of Nature Channel documentaries?
