I concur. So... how do you think Cthulu would reproduce, were he a race and not an elder god?

Squishy Cheeks 03-19-2004 12:46 AM

"Ok I reloaded."

Shoots Krylo and IHMN first.

Thank you.

IHateMakingNames 03-19-2004 12:47 AM

From the pictures I have seen, Cthulu's do not have any genitals, just tentacles. So they can't reproduce. If it were a god though, they could probably throw some on to reproduce.

TheSpiritOfVengance 03-19-2004 12:48 AM

I have finally Decided upon Krylos Haiku

I have no good side
I have no bad side I just have
Fun at your expense

Now it is time for me to fade into the night...

Krylo 03-19-2004 12:49 AM

Or maybe the tentacles ARE genitals. The japanese may very well have been onto something, there. Although, having your genitals that close to your mouth would probably create some problems.

Edit: That Haiku is very fitting.

Forever Zero 03-19-2004 12:50 AM

Technically, there are a limited number of Cthulhu esque creatures, and while more cannot be born, the current ones are immortal. They are called the "Star-Spawn of Cthulhu" And they are basically mini-Cthulhu's. Instead of being twenty stories tall, I think they are just five...

Demon with a Glass Hand 03-19-2004 12:50 AM

Cthulhu is but one.

And just because you can't see a creature's genitals with the naked eye, doesn't mean he doesn't have any.

You're a testement to that, Pigtails.

IHateMakingNames 03-19-2004 12:50 AM

No, the tentacles are never the genitals. You can tell the difference because tentacles end by turning into a small cone shape. And that would just make self pleasure so much easier.

What's my Haiku? And what does Haiku mean?

Edit - If you can't see it with the naked eye, it's basically useless.

Demon with a Glass Hand 03-19-2004 12:52 AM

Oh, Pigtails. *shakes his head*

Your words have never held more truth.

TheSpiritOfVengance 03-19-2004 12:54 AM

I have faded back. A Haiku is a japanese poem that follows a pattern of 5 syllables 7 5 usually. Ive seen some that vary. I have a very special one for you IHMN

IHateMakingNames
Fear Me I'm Death Incarnate
also a nice guy

Krylo 03-19-2004 12:54 AM

Now see... the stuff going on before led to lots of random killings that weren't really happening. This has lead to Demon saying IHMN's genitalia were too small to be seen, followed by IHMN saying that genitalia too small to be seen are basically useless without refuting the size of his.

MUCH more entertaining.

Also, the Cthulu's genitalia may not be shaped like a humans... they are quite a bit off.

Fine, fine, you win, that was highly entertaining...

Krylo 03-19-2004 12:57 AM

And I've just gotten an addition to my signature.

Forever Zero 03-19-2004 12:58 AM

You know that poem is a flawed Haiku. It is 5 - 8 - 5, when it should be 5 - 7 - 5.

IHateMakingNames 03-19-2004 12:58 AM

Oh, I just don't respond to the name Pigtails anymore. The joke is old and gone, and quite boring now.

And due to the tentacles, I was thinking reproducing with humans (Japanese school girls). With other Cthulus it's probably asexual reproduction, that or the genitals are internal, and cuts are made on both of the Cthulus' so the sperm is bleed to the other one, like snakes.

Of course, I did find one picture were a gaint claw was coming out of the crouch area...

My reaction...

TheSpiritOfVengance 03-19-2004 01:02 AM

Yes I noticed. I think people are going to be asking for Haikus about them. This can lead to no good because I was trained at the art of Haiku insult. Something is gonna slip like this probalby...

I OWNERGED J00
I R00led j00 beatJ00 bad t00
and I live with mom...

If any of YOU guys want a Haiku I'll make one for you just PM I have got to get off soon...
EDIT Yeah I thought so. Some are. It depends on if it is appropriate and if you count certain things. Or if you have an impediment like me...

That's to hold the school girl in place so that they can ram their crotch tentacles into them. Also known as prehensile penises.

Demon with a Glass Hand 03-19-2004 01:10 AM

Like milk left on the counter for a day, Pigtails has been deemed too old for use.

It's a shame really. If IHMN didn't say, "Tis a boring old joke and I grow weary of it." (Yes, yes. Tis a paraphrase) I would have probably gotten bored of.

Unfourtunately, he is now stuck with it.

Sithdarth 03-19-2004 01:26 AM

Off topic and completely random:

If super heros are good guys why do they always seem to destroy more things fighting the bad guys then the bad guys plan to do?

Slightly more on topic:

I can somewhat ease the ammunition problem with my skills and maybe start a stockpile in my basement after awhile but that will probably take up a lot of game time.

Demon with a Glass Hand 03-19-2004 01:29 AM

Though the did do a lot of damage to the city they lived in, I never considered the Might Morphin Power Rangers to be Super Heroes.

Sithdarth 03-19-2004 01:32 AM

Not to be mean you should probably end your life now for that comment for two reasons:

1) You mentioned the power rangers (and even worse with their full name)

2) and you know more about them then just their name

Its pretty much any super hero that does it the Justic League and BIg O come to mind

Krylo 03-19-2004 01:36 AM

...The power rangers are funny. He shouldn't end his life, plus he was probably around for when they first came out and everyone thought they were 'cool'. Man, I still remember kids around my elementary school talking about how cool Tommy (The Green Ranger) was... even though he was introduced using a flute.

Sithdarth 03-19-2004 01:40 AM

Ok maybe not his life but i was kinda shocked when he mentioned that.

Edit:
MAybe it is just me but in elementary school everyone was either playing sports all of the time or playing magic or D&D. Yes my school was insanely messed up. When i went there there was like 700 kids total K-12. Also, my class contiued its weirdness, often breaking into song during our jr and senior year, never me though.

Demon with a Glass Hand 03-19-2004 01:57 AM

And they all lived in Angel Grove which, surprisingly enough after countless attacks by gigantic monsters, had a large population ... of idiots.

And Amy Jo Johnson was hot. Annoying, but hot.

Krylo 03-19-2004 01:58 AM

That was the pink ranger right? Because yah... she was definately do-able... if you could get her away from the stupid power ranger schtick.

Sithdarth 03-19-2004 02:01 AM

I think anyone ever involved with that is stuck with it for the rest of their lifes.

Demon with a Glass Hand 03-19-2004 02:02 AM

Pink Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson) = Schwing!

Sithdarth 03-19-2004 02:10 AM

Tight spandex doesnt hurt. On the guys it is kind of disturbing to say the least.

Edit:
Forgive my noobness but i just learned what the damage thing on the weapons mean (like the 1d8+1 on the saber) and my world was just shattered. In a game where most of us have around 10 hp im going to carry a weapon, eventually, with the ability to do 30 damage point blank. I guess i kinda under estimated how bad it would be to screw up the throw. I now fully respect my choice of weapons and will be vary vary vary vary vary vary vary vary vary vary vary vary vary carfull with it.

Oh yeah im currently reading up on rp systems so this wont happen again and ill be fully prepared by time this starts.

Tor 03-19-2004 03:42 AM

How much damage does a shotgun do at point blank range?

Sithdarth 03-19-2004 03:46 AM

Dont know that but the dynamite having a 5d6 damage was lost on me until just a little while ago. Plus that fact that you can be killed even with 12 hp even if your lucky enough to be far enough away to only have to roll 2 die.

Tor 03-19-2004 03:56 AM

That means that I will die of the first gunshot fired... Lucky me

Oh by the way... Torg is here.

TORG ANGRY TORG CHRUSH CHTULHU

*Torg starts to bite Chtulhus knee*

Squishy Cheeks 03-19-2004 07:56 AM

The hotness is and was... Monica Bellucci. If you don't agree. Orlando Bloom might be more up your alley.

Tor 03-19-2004 08:39 AM

Orlando Bloom sucks ass, he almost ruined it for me when I saw Pirates of the Carrabien

lazy man 03-19-2004 08:44 AM

I wonder when I'm going to fail my sanity check. I seem to be the only one who hasn't failed it yet.

Tor 03-19-2004 09:03 AM

I haven't failed either, I'm just Dr.Jekyl and Mr.Hyde without needing to drink any strange chemicals

Jeez. Maybe we should just feed Sith to the cthulhu first so he doesn't accidently hit us. Then again, he's got the main firepower.

Truce 03-19-2004 11:40 AM

I wonder if it's to late to switch some of my points around into a running skill. Eh...he'd still probably die anyway, by some random truck running him over I bet.

Quick question - is it possible to have high enough Fast Talk/Persuade points to have your characters talk the cult out of summoning Cthulhu, or Cthulhu not to kill us and leave us peacefully?

Somehow I doubt it, but it would be interesting if we could.

Squishy Cheeks 03-19-2004 11:47 AM

Ecurt: Good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City of Boston, and State of Massachusetts, I order you to cease any, and all, supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin, or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.
Jman: That ought to do it. Thanks very much, Ecurt.
Cthulhu: Are you a god?
Ecurt: No?
Cthulhu: Then . . . die!

Truce 03-19-2004 12:09 PM

Bleh...maybe I should have given my guy higher bluff crudentials. But Cthulhu did pause, showing signs of hesitating. Hah!

With that plan obviously a failure, I just have to remember to run faster than the rest of your guys, and trip whoever tries to pass me. Either that or try to become a god myself, though I'm pretty sure that won't work either.

Sithdarth 03-19-2004 12:55 PM

I made my throw skill 9 and I be sure to put some good distance between me and the party so if any thing bad happens I'm the one the dies. On a lighter note if your lucky as hell and manage to roll all ones or all ones and twos and have 10 hp you get to life even at point blank range. If you have 11 hp or more you can survive all twos. I think if FZ adds to our hp like he said we will all have over 10 so there is a fair not to unrealistic chance we might all just get knocked out and maybe a few lucky ones one or two hp from knocked out even at point blank range. Of course those knocked out will most likely be left behind to what ever is chasing us, or those awake will help everyone but me for basicly killing us and leave me to be eatin.

Forever Zero 03-19-2004 03:22 PM

Alright, I'll try to take these in order.

Tor: Umm, at point blank the most powerful shotgun does 4D6+2, but it is a rare weapon from the 1890's, and thus you wouldn't start with it. Others do damage ranging from 4D6 at point blank to 2D6 at point blank, point blank being really friggin close, closer then you would want to get to 99% of the monsters... Also, shotgun shells never get critical hits (Also known, for future note, as Impale Hits).

Sith: Brought up multiple points...
1. You will be able to make ammo in your basement for cheaper then buying them, but you would need to make it your weekly task and you would make 100 bullets, in whatever ratios you want (thus, you could make 50 .30 bullets, and 50 20-gauge shotgun shells, or whatever.)

2. Yes, D means dice, so 1D8+1 means Roll one eight sided dice and add one to the total. And yes, now you know that Dynamite can do from 5 to 30 damage in one roll, but keep in mind, it is considred a combo of fire damage, and standard damage, so most of the monsters immune to bullets will be immune to dynamite as well.

3. I decided to add 5 HP to every character, to put them on par with the pre-made characters, and so that they won't die in one hit from weak monsters... And like I mentioned, if you hit 2 hp, you go unconscious until healed above 2, and if you hit 0 or a negative, you need to be healed very soon, or you die, and if you go to far into the negative in one blow, it is an instant kill (Thus, in two situations, going negative one from a blow makes you fall dead but can be saved, but in another you end up with negative 5, and you can only heal a MAX of 3 HP from any healing attempt, so that would be an instant kill. So basically, if you ever hit more then -2 HP, you are dead.)

Ecurt: You can never fast talk/bargain/persuade someone into doing something they are resistant too, thus you can't fast talk a guard into letting you in a base if he is about to shoot you, but if you go in disguise and he is only suspicious of you, you could try and persuade/fast talk him then. So no, you can never fast talk a God or Monster out of killing you. It would go like this...

Ecurt: "Good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City of Boston, and State of Massachusetts, I order you to cease any, and all, supernatural activity and --"
*Cthulhu devours Ecurt*

And no, you can never, ever become a god. All the positions are full, and since they are all Immortal, there will be no job openings in the near future...


I think I will put up a text later today on what you can do while in between missions, and maybe a few other texts like how the combat system will work, but as a warning to all, I am signing off for the weekend at 6:00.


Now, in other news, Monica Bellucci is far hotter then Amy Jo Johnson...

Sithdarth 03-19-2004 07:11 PM

I did a few calculations and the results are:

1) If you have 11hp and are at in the 2 yard radius for the dynamite you have a .013332771953462% chance of having at least 1 hp left.

2) If you have 12hp or more your chances of survival (1 hp left) goes up to an amazing .019648295510364%

3) If you have 12 hp and are within 2 yards there are 142478 possible role combinations, not counting things like 13345 and 33154 as different possiblities,
that will kill you

4) In more human terms you have 1 in 50 chance of survival in the 2 yard radius with 12 hp and a 1 in 75 chance if you have 11 hp.

5) The chance of rolling minium damage 1 in 142506 or .00070172483965587%

Conclusions if we are very unlucky and the unthinkable happens we could then get very lucky and survive, most likely not.

Edit: It seems i over estimated our chances of survival.

Tor 03-19-2004 07:39 PM

anything happening here?

Sithdarth 03-19-2004 07:41 PM

Not yet but if you stick around long enough somethin will happen.

I was thinking it might be fun enough just to keep making these threads and never start the RP. It seems like it would be just as entertaining.

Alright, new rule. If you want to spam up the thread with totally off topic things, make a God-Mod Thread, and have at it. At least keep your bizarre discussions mildly on-topic...

Dante 03-21-2004 03:09 AM

LISTEN UP HATFU- oh, wrong thread.

FZ - Fair enough about the Thompson. Who the hell carries an SMG around with him in a civilian setting all the time, anyway? I intended Tommy to jump in after the RP started, when Demon told him to come with firepower, so that's why i listed the fiddle-case Thompson.

JAD - BAR, while amazingly fun to have, is not as concealable as an M1A1 Thompson. Not to mention 20 round mag is a pain, though BAR is better for beating faces in.

My haiku -

Filled With Mad Ramblings
Pre-RP Discussion Threads
Are Insanity Risks

Demon with a Glass Hand 03-21-2004 03:15 AM

*A quiet round of golf claps for Dante's Haiku*

Since I don't want to sift through a couple hundred posts looking for the answer, am I the only one who thought that 'swimming' would be a useful skill to have?

The Mind bends slightly
The stress too much to take
The Mind snaps in two

Dante 03-21-2004 05:15 AM

Swimming is a skill
That you will not miss until
You really need it

Forever Zero 03-21-2004 09:49 PM

I'm back all.

Like Dante said in Haiku, swimming is a skill you won't miss until you really need it...

And I've got a few new things to add, I'll add them when they are all done. You'll want to look over them.

Any last minute questions? The RP will most likely start tomarrow.

Sithdarth 03-21-2004 10:16 PM

Yeah RP tomorrow; I am way to overexcited. You have any ideal about what time FZ? Also, cause it seems to be a trend here is a haiku:

Insanity reigns
the world warped in a strange way
Forever changed mind

Forever Zero 03-21-2004 10:20 PM

Well... About time I'm not sure, probably around 6:00 or so my time (Eastern Time, US)

And my Haiku would suck, so I'm bucking the trend... Just cause I like to buck trends...

Sithdarth 03-21-2004 10:26 PM

Haiku is really only as hard as you make it. If you knock yourself out trying to follow that stupid 5-7-5 rule then most of your haikus will come out forced. There is a large contingent of writers who dont believe in the 5-7-5 rules; and heres a haiku to demonstrate:

In five seven five
Haiku nature can be found
greatness lost to rules

Forever Zero 03-21-2004 10:29 PM

I'm generally not that great at poetry at all. I'm much better writing a novel/short story epic. Just how my brain works. However...

FZ tries Haiku,
It seems very short to him,
He'll try more later.

Sithdarth 03-21-2004 10:39 PM

Just a few suggestions; when you write Haiku the first and last lines should be images with little or no action, the second should be a sentence fragment that somehow ties to the first image. Haikus that make one complete thought and sound like a runnon sentence dont usually work well. Also, try to avoid pronouns in the whole thing and save articles for mainly the second line. These arent absolutes but they help.

Here is another one:

Sound envelops
Isolated by darkness
Lost in eternity
