Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

Bob, something of a idle thought. Are the Girls following the exact path Doug is, or are they making some stops he isn't? Or skipping some of his? Or a
different order?

It's just something I got the impression of when I last went back and read all the shorts I could find.

My creative wires have been getting a little crossed lately, so I've been trying to sort them out. This is a very early beta of the only thing worth posting that's come from that.

Lots of comment not merely asked for, but actually BEGGED for.

So there I was, trying to work out some ideas when I wondered if it was possible to make a Hecatonchires cyborg in Fenspace. Then I remembered a brief thread
about biomoding Great People to ensure their survival.

The two thoughts mixed and produced... Professor Stephen Hecatonchires?

So....after our rather...interesting ITF the other night, I was discussing this with Uni and discovered there was, in fact, something I didn't know about
the ITF parameters.

Apparently, the Nictii aggro radius is 80 feet. If you have ranged attacks that're longer than that, you can snipe them with impunity. They won't
react, won't move, won't heal themselves beyond normal health regen, and best of all, neither they nor Rommy will react to your presence. Useful for
taking out the healing or spamming Nictus early on, if patient, one can face Rommy wihtout his Nictus three.

The only downside is you have to weather the shockwave when one dies, known to most as Rommy's rez stun. Still, interesting strategy for when one lacks two
tanks.

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."

I've been meaning to post these for a bit now, and I think Valles has too, but I kept forgetting. Behold! Valles and Braende's new outfits.

Rhea wants these SOOOO bad.

Doug's from California right?

California Soul should at least produce the Illusion of being in California, for everyone in AOE.

On Sunday, August 10, The Pariah Project will be hosting an Open House Social at our headquarters in Talos Towers. The event will begin at 4:00 PM, Eastern
Time, and will conclude... well, when our guests have eaten all our food.

Everyone is welcome! Please pass this along to all!

For guest access to our building, please use the intercom, and one of the Project members will buzz you in.

Last night, when I got home from work, my computer wouldn't start. The CD drives spun up, and the secondary PSU lit, but no case fans, no power light, and
nothing else. I panicked, and spent an hour researching new motherboards for the inevitable replacement, since that was obviously the problem. It wasn't the PSU, else the secondary PSU and the CD drives wouldn't've lit up, and anything
else going wrong would've allowed the mobo to POST. What else could it be?

Then, I opened the case to check on it. No obvious scorch marks or blown transistors, so whatever happened probably didn't fry anything else. I jiggled a
few power connectors, then fired it back up to see which (if any) fans spun up.

All of them (6 120mms plus the secondary PSU and CPU fan) did, and, to my surprise, I heard a POST beep. I closed the tower back up, put it back in its spot
in my room, hooked it back up and, fingers crossed, started it again. Everything started up, and I got a message saying my last boot (w/o power to the mobo)
failed, and I needed to check BIOS settings. So I did, restarted, and am typing this on my (now working) PC.

The moral of the story is to never forget the First Law of Electronics Troubleshooting ("Never blame a multi-hundred-dollar component before checking all
the $5 cords attached to it.", in this case), or it's corrollary ("Never blame the $5 cord until you check the connection. Cords cost money;
reconnecting them doesn't.").

Boy, is my face red!
