anyyyyyyyyways. what are you guys? extremist in one area and weak in an other...

or moderate types?


I'm the colonizing/science moderate.

You'll never know my weakness tho =P

New Spartans are extremely hard to kill. Of course I thought I was making a ground combat race of supermen.
But that's ok too.

I would classify my race primarily as explorers, but unfortunately you left that one out of the poll

ooops. ummm... that's different from colonization isn't it?


oopie.

I have another race that does not fit clearly into any of the above categories. My design was based upon trying to make them into the ultimate race of spies and infiltrators. (MOO II fans should think "Dorlock.") Pete warned me that the espionage game would not be well developed for quite some time, but I decided to plan for the (very) long term, and go with my original race design, anyway.

Anyway, I chose the diplomacy category because many of the racial trates that make for good spies, also make for good diplomats.

oh spies...

hmm i did taht too actually

shapeshifter with c4 telepathics... can't go wrong with that and it all cost only 530 points =)

That's right. Then throw in some chameleon ability, natural linguistic ability, and highly accute senses. Then just sit back and take bets on how long it will take the local police to find Waldo.

yeah phenominal senses! it also happens to make a great research bonus...

hmm i never really opted for natural linguistics but i imagine that would help a lot.

we're ninjas!


can we have chameleon and shapeshifting at the same time?

I sincerely hope so. Otherwise, both I an all the members of my race are severely self-deluded.

"Meet agent Wraith. Due to advanced training in his natural abilities, he can blend in to any background, making him virtually invisible. Unfortunately, this virtually invisibility only seems to work when no one is looking at him."

TErnest

hmmm i could of sworn you couldn't... but it worked out eh? nice.


oh i get it chameleon is color while shapeshifting is shape.

oh.


crap. that's no fun. =P

So delete the whole post. I could easily refute every single one of your points, but you're right. This isn't a political board.

Guys,
Please keep this board non political unless it is galactic politics we're talking. It gets real ugly real fast otherwise and I would prefer to not have to skip your posts when I see your nics in fear of getting all riled up by (insert your political view here) clashing with (insert opponents political view here) so please if you want to discuss that keep it to IM or another board. This election is already the dirtiest on both sides I've ever seen so let's keep this a earth dirtfree board ok?

Gentlemen,
I have voluntarily deleted my non-board commentary.

Me too

Kudos to all the firefighters involved who want to keep this place a relatively flame free place when it comes to real life politics! It speaks for you character and integrity. I salute you.



/Locklyn

Thank you.

Well-balanced, no emphasis used to be called a "jack of all trades."

Hardly see that as a liability. Once you start asserting emphasis in one direction or another how can you still call yourself balanced?

Hi Guys,

I've edited some of the posts (and the original poll options) for political content - I think I've gotten everything of that nature, just let me know if I've missed something. I don't like to jump in a lot but nothing gets the blood boiling faster than a real-world political discussion, particularly during election years, and that really isn't the purpose of this board. Nothing personal to anyone here - we all have our opinions and our reasons for having them.

Please keep it game-related for all our sakes

One of the new options reminded me, after the wedding's over and life's settled down a bit my next SN race will be based off the Tick comics by Ben Edlund. nigh-invulnerable arachnids, but not terribly bright. Should be interesting.
"Go ahead. Shoot me in the head again. Bring it on."

Spoon!! :lol:

You could also try a race of Man-Eating Cows, but it would be more fun I suppose to play the big blue guy himself...

Actually, the Tick was shot in the head once. In the issue where he took off for NY and left MEC in charge. As I remember, the bullet ricocheted off his cheesy grin.

ummm... who's the tick?

Has it really been that long ago?

*sigh* Oh ye deprived.

You don't remember? It was a Saturday morning cartoon about 10 or 12 years ago. Sort of a tongue in cheek take down of comic book heros and villains. Also a great comic book character.

ali-t-akua,

By his own admission, Athonian would have been about 8 at the time.

Lord Uriel

faint faint memories...

the moon had something etched into it didn't it?


bah. i sorta remember it. barely. i believe the show was around when i was in my power rangers phase. =) yeah that would be a long long time ago for me =)
then again i could ask a kind if he like power rangers and he'll look at me and think i'm a dinosaur. my generation was ninja turtles all the way. and spiderman. spiderman was a great cartoon and the sliver surfer! yeah! *memories flood Ali's being*

:lol:

First Chairface tried to write his name on the moon and parital succeded

Then NASA (I think) tried to correct this by demolition (Causing even more damage)

Then a Galacticus type character later took a "Bite" out of the moon!

It was great, if you weren't sure when a certain Tick Episode took place, you only had to wait to see what condition the moon was in the background!

oh YEAH! CH! i remember that.

Gads, I must be ancient for I remember the actual Tick comic-book ... before the cartoon ... before the live action (short-lived) TV show ...

Of course, I still like El Seed and his Bee-girls ...

"Excuse me citizen, might I partake of a slice of your righteous combat pie?"

:lol:

I was howling with laughter when the Tick used that line in the (short-lived) live action TV show.

I actually have the original 12-issue run of the b&w comic. All first printings except #7. Btw, I'm willing to buy a 1st print #7. I'll even kick in my second printing, if it'll reduce the price a bit.

One day I am hoping to use that in an e-mail/message to a friendly neighbor who is having issue with a not-so-friendly neighbor. :lol:
