Quotes to hang a story on
 
So Bob suggested that,
Quote:Look, you know the rules -- if you wanna go to space, you either ride a motorcycle up some stairs or eat a bookbag full of butter.
should be in this thread and I have to agree. I have to wonder how many places in fenspace have XKCD strips (and What If illustrations) taped and pinned up the way so many cubicles have Dilbert strips decorating the walls.

"So, the rivalry between the Metahumans and both factions of Superhumans has left us with a surprise winner this election after all the tranfers are counted. For the next four years, there's a Parahuman government in Kandor. "

"Okay, so maybe I should have made the operating instructions a bit more detailed, but how was I supposed to know that guy was just going to drink it?"

"I'm not sure who's worse. The person who knowingly buys a motoroid equipped with military-style LIDAR and RADAR jamming techniques for the sole purpose of evading speed traps, or the person who knowingly builds and advertises that motoroid for exactly that purpose...."

Reading more of that thread ... I have no problem with a darker-and-edgier variant of Fenspace. But if it happens, somebody please reply to post 17 (I don't have a SpaceBattles account) and let SparraNova know (s)he's already got an opponent who won't be playing things as silly as in http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... enspace.21]this wiki post.

EDIT: And as for post 14, somebody let Fascinating Dakka know that, in baseline Fenspace, (a) handwavium exposure is cumulative, and (b) we established over a half-decade ago that the female member of the Hong Kong Cavaliers was born male. But that's baseline Fenspace.

"Mixing it with random alcohol and selling it on the street for a quick few bucks is not an appropriate use of handwavium. Warning label or no warning label."

(Also inspired by a response to the SB recruitment drive, which I'm now starting to think was a bad idea.)

Well, duh. No doubt she complains about any technical inaccuracies, though.

"Are you kidding? If they were in any way realistic they'd be horrid! I like them just as they are, with cool cars doing crazy things, loud music and lots of pretty boys and pretty girls in tank tops."

("Besides, with handwavium every single stunt in a Fast and Furious movie is 100% plausible," she added with a guileless smile, causing 2D6 nearby engineers to spontaneously combust.)

My only real problem was the scene with Hobbs shooting the mini-gun, it used to much ammo and didn't have a power supply.

Great... now I have the picture of a dozens of these things, all in the proper BT miniature size fighting a war on the table against each other... and against the stupid 'giants' that want to take away the dice from them! Wink

"SS Olympia? you bought a cruise ship? Wait that says USS.. you bought a WARSHIP!?"

"A antique warship, her keel was laid down in 1891. They where getting ready to sell her for scrap since they couldn't keep up with maintenance costs."

You know, the 'USS=warship' thing isn't actually true. It just means the ship is flagged to the US, and is of suitable size. I've heard of cargo ships with the USS prefix, as well.
