Doug is obviously more than an average human. So... how many Forces would he have? More than 5, which, if I understand correctly, implies Symphonic awareness...
What would his metatalent do with the Celestial Symphony?

On a completely different path...
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war- war and the Loon. The two things in the grim darkness of the far future are war, the Loon, and ruthless efficiency. The three things in the grim darkness of the far future are war, the Loon, ruthless efficiency, and a more-than-fanatical devotion to the Emperor...
The Imperium would probably see the improbability field as a warp-taint, the Eldar are practically forbidden to have a sense of humor, and Orks just wanna have fun, er, I mean, *kill things*. The Necron are boring and evil, the Dark Eldar are too much like far, far too sadistic Servitors of Kobal for Doug to get along with, and Chaos is evil. Can you imagine Tzeentch's reaction to something like the bullets-into-cherry-blossoms trick from DWII?
The Tau, though, he might get along with, if only because they're the closest thing to 'good' to be found in M41...Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines...

  E Nomine
Posted by: Loki Laufeyjarson - 08-02-2006, 08:12 PM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (2)

After finding a snippet from E Nomine as the random quote on the main page the other day and then having sweno link Mary Sue's Theme with an E Nomine song in his sig, I got to think.
Could there be a power in there somwhere? Aside from the language barrier of having even the few translated songs still be half in Latin there is also the problem that most of their songs have Christian references and bible quotes. It has already been made clear that religious themes might be a bit problematic so things like E Nomine's version of the Lord's Prayer are probably out. Although it does sound really cool.
A few songs that are not based on biblical stuff are using themes from older other religions and mythologies instead and would be just as bad, but there are some songs that don't call upon any gods.


Wolfen (Das Tier In Mir) (The Animal In Me) seems pretty straight foreward in turning Doug into a werewolf. Perhaps some area effects of creating (an illusion of) the moonlit forrest mentioned in the latin part (perhaps even inducing other weres present to change):
Silva in lumine
Lunae arcana est
Domus mea
Silva in lumine
Stellarum est

Downside would be the possible (blood)lust and loss of control mentioned in the German lyrics. So it probably wouldn't be any good in a situation with lots of innocent civilians wandering around.

Mitternacht (Midnight) probably wouldn't do much other than making it look like it is midnight and giving everyone present the mildly uncomfortable feeling that they were better of at home with the door firmly locked and bolted. It would turn as dark as if it was the middle of the night and all clocks would strike twelve as in the lyrics.
Media nox obscura nox
crudelitas animarum
campana sonat
duo decies

This of course has limited everyday use unless you are planing to do something like faking out a large group of vampires. Song starts and all the vampires in the area rise ot of their lairs while everybody else gets frightened and seeks safety. Song is stopped or finishes after a few minutes and suddenly everything turns back to noramal again possibly including daylight. Might also be useful if you have an ally with a sun-allergy.

Die Schwarzen der Reiter (The Black Horsemen) a lesser known song of E Nomine. It has only a small latin part in the background that basically just says "I am a demon" while the narrators warns us of a group of black riders who are on a quest for a golden ring. He starts out as if he was going to recite Goethe's famous 'Erlkoenig' poem, but then just tells you to run for your life. I can't help but think that this would summon a simulacrum of one or several of Tolkien's Ringwraith (even if I understand that it is probably at least partially referencing to Valkyries searching for Draupnir and not Nazgul questing for the one ring.) If the latin part is given to much weight the song might turn Doug into a black rider instead. Control and collateral damage might be an issue in either case, but if you ever need a not so friendly cavalry unit or really need to find something like a small golden ring sending out these black riders would be an option.

  Another looking for a fic
Posted by: katreus - 07-31-2006, 07:46 AM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (4)

I've googled but unfortunately, I've forgotten both the author and the title of the story.
It's basically an original fic roughly based on System Shock featuring a hacker who removes the ethics and moral limitations on SHODAN and wakes up to find the entire station deserted and trashed. Sort of cyber punk, sort of horror/mystery/Resident Evil vibes. I think it might have been recced on this board a long long time ago.
Anyone remember this?

  FFN stuffed up again?
Posted by: classicdrogn - 07-31-2006, 01:26 AM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (14)

I didn't notice until today, when I wanted to go and make archives of the many, amny bookmarked fics from FanFiction.net, because the author profile pages don't display properly on my PSP anyway, but even on the desktop machine, in Safari and IE both all I can see is the C2 panel below the author's profile, not their fics, friends, or reccomendations. Is anyone else having this problem? Has it been that way for long? Fic listings from C2s or fandom listings are fine, but that doesn't help when all my bookmarks are to profile pages...

ETA: Firefox and Camino don't even get the profile page, just an FFN server error message - even though I loaded it again in between each attempt in both IE and Safari! SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?

I'd like to re-read the "Puck Files" (I'm pretty sure that's what it was called). Written by (Darren Steffler, I think) the author of that over-powered self-insertion cross-over fan fic "Twisted Path."
It was a about a highschool student who woke up one morning to discover he was one of a fraction of a percentage of the population who had suddenly developed super powers.

  fic search: blind (only not) Naruto
Posted by: classicdrogn - 07-29-2006, 05:15 PM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (1)

I don't really remember any details, except that in a typical 5-6yr/o-kill-the-demon-brat fanon mob attack, Naruto got his eyes put out, and the Kyuubi grew him a new pair roughly equivalent to Byakugan trading 360-vision for being always on without noticable chakra consumption. Naruto wears dark goggles, an bandanna, or his hitae-ate (after graduating) over them so as not to freak people out even more... I think it was pretty good, but I don't really remember. Probably from a year or two ago.
