From way back in... V4, I bring you the music on new pages!
In order to shrink down the video player all you need to do is to wrap quote tags around its link.
*Jeopardy's theme song starts playing*
That's... a lot of question marks right there.
How did those pop up? They're standard unicode characters. Should work everywhere, really.
I'll abstain from using them in the future.
Commands:
Combiner: Dammit, I GRANT my allies the dark powers of utter destruction, I don't let them STEAL IT from me!
It was a bad idea to rely on others, so I go and use my powers to completely lock down my robotic enemies, stopping their gears from grinding and code from running. I then get slapped in the face by Cthulhu for using my dark powers for different purposes than eating babies.
Horse Ebooks: Imagine your richest thoughts flowing magically from your brain,
Cucco: Heal yourself with the pure power of RAGE!
Cthulhu: After slapping combiner, I enhance the elder army with my own powers of darkness before ordering them to rush in at the metallic robots.
Death: I reap the code of PV7-V41N. Even for one who speaks telepathically, that is still hard to pronounce.
Eldritch Army: At Cthulhu's command, we go in, and go in, and go in like the US Marshals. Not that we know what the US Marshals are.
>A new combatant joins the fray. He is a highly skilled dark elf ranger named Drizzt Do'Urden, his weapons are two scimitars, one of which is enchanted to make it sharper and more likely to strike true, it's name is Twinkle. The other scimitar is named Icingdeath, it employs similar enchantments to Twinkle but with the added addition of fire resistance. He also possesses a Figurine of Wondrous Power that, when it's name is called, would summon Guenhwyvar, a panther of the Astral Plane. This panther is resistant to physical injuries and can never fully die unless attacked on the Astral Plane. Drizzt is also capable of summoning a globe of darkness that will quench all light, this allows the drow elf, whom is used to the underdark, to remain unseen. The final advantage that I will list here for Drizzt is [I]faerie fire[/I]. [I]faerie fire[/I] surrounds a person with a harmless purple flame, it allows for Drizzt to track his enemies better.
Drizzt begins looking for allies, namely a dwarf, a hafling, a human archer, and a barbarian.
I'll do twenty rolls for allied commands, and send them over to magma. Note: This is only for the moment. Until magcow decides to do an update, these will just be a time saving measure

After vanquishing the horrifying threat of starvation, Calvin and Hobbes jump back into the action - ready to assist their allies when needed.
Calvin begins to scavenge the battlefield in hopes of acquiring precious (worthless) metals (toothpicks and plastic cups) to construct an item.

I'm going to Seattle tomorrow, so I won't be able to update for 10 days or so.
Until I return, ANYONE is free to update
I can give it a shot.
Let's do this.
I've just rolled for the allies and, uh...
Well, it will be a spectacle.
This will be very interesting.
Where did that bonus come from anyway? I couldn't see anything about it in the update besides "This does this and that, and by 'does this and that' I mean FUCKS UP EVERYTHING."
After informing the DM that my last command was skipped, I take a few potshots at whoever attacked me.
OH MY FUCKING GOD!
I had this update, and I clicking on the preview button, when Facepunch craps on me!
I made the mistake of clearing my cookies somewhere along the line, and that means that Facepunch wants me to reload the page and guess what?
When I try to restore the autosave, EVERYTHING IS GONE!
EVERYTHING!
Jesus fuck, and it was a good update too! The best I've ever written! Listen, there was a command that hit a ten... WITH A 7.5 DAMAGE MULTIPLIER. What resulted was 56250 TOTAL DAMAGE FROM THAT COMMAND ALONE. I had a large description written out as well, basically the sheer force of the attack tore the atoms in the air and metal of the robots asunder and created a nuclear explosion.
And it's all gone.
Well, at least now I know I should properly backup instead of relying on the autosave function. I have a list of rolls and commands left, but those are the ONLY things left.
I need to fucking rest, I'm sorry.
Fucking hell.

This is why you type the update on a separate thing, Microsoft Word, Notepad, Wordpad, OpenOffice...
I empty my Gravity Swagnum on PV7-V41N in a glorious cacophony shredding metal and robotic screams.
60k health and he really expected to live long.
[editline]1st September 2012[/editline]
heheh, this whole business with the update being delayed allowed me to get my command in
[QUOTE=Mr. Face;37498564]Notepad[/QUOTE]
That's what I do. I also do 20 rolls IRL with a die and write them on paper to be DAMN sure I can replicate results.
Will this EVER UPDATE
zake: KILL that being a robotic copy of me motherfucker? (kill Z4K-3)
Merc pointman: shoot the best tacticool crossbow at FIR-34/ARM's generator/battery.

heheh, me also.
I might try finishing my efforts, and reawakening the thread.
I'm still here, if anyone wants to update. I've got a mostly finished update available.
I would do it but, you know, I've never done [I]this[/I] kind of RP before.
I'll stick to GMing things like E&R and MW.
Update redacted until properly filled out.
[QUOTE=folcrum_flyer;37670376]Team Firearms: Firearms, I swear to god, the next time you usemore than 6 images in a post, I'm giving you penalty 1s.[/QUOTE]
Well excuse me for that minor "complexity" in the command.
[QUOTE=folcrum_flyer;37670376]No, seriously, if I have to sift through you massive posts again, i'm going to have you spontaneously combust into ash.[/QUOTE]
With your attitude I've got a better idea: [I]I'll be happy to take over the role of posting results once more.[/I] Not only will I do a damn competent job piecing the writing together, but I'll also get 'em finished in a fraction of the time compared to your two-week hiatus. I may be busy as ever with academics, but I'll sure as hell invest my time into them when appropriate (i.e. during the weekends or when I'm caught up with my calculus, chemistry, and physics courses...).
[I]Woah woah woah[/I] Let's all calm down. We're all on the same team here.
Okay, okay, sorry, I am being a bit harsh. But seriously, if you could just cut it to one avatar of each character, and not use the blue boxes, I'd be very appreciative. BTW, I was expecting combiner to try and update, since I don't usually do them. I wasn't on hiatus, I got tired of waiting. Oh, and while, I'm at it, relax a bit. I made two unnecessary comments. And I was a bit pissed because my parents are alchoholics, and don't hardly bother to come home, along with the fact that I get to deal with a new school year in a place where anyone who even hears the words "Magic: The Gathering" instinctively screams "FAGGOT!" I'll admit it was a bit fucked up, and that we don't need people becoming part of the GIFT theory. Also, before you accuse me of fixing rolls, the only roll I fixed on that entire post was the positive one for Calvnan, because, frankly, a child with a doom axe just sounds hilarious to me.
Also, I'd like to send a formal apology to Anderson involving his roll. That was just too good of an opportunity to pass up, after reading how a lightsaber works on wookiepedia.
Also, I'm redacting the update until I or someone else bothers to add in enemy commands. Firearms, for the sake of avoiding unwanted changes relating to rage, I'm afraid it can't be you.
And lastly, where the hell are combiner and Magmacow?

I'm fully behind you becoming one of the people who posts results, I really enjoy your posts and their "complexities".
I could ask one of my friends if they'd like to fill in for this update, if you guys are down?
I'm going to do the last part of folcrum's update, if he can provide me with his part.
Right now I'm waiting for him to send it to me. (I PM'd him 7 hours ago.)
Also, Firearms, in my [del]non[/del]professional opinion you're far more than qualified to hop in as an update provider.
If you can live up to what you say then you will be more than simply an asset here. Going with how horrible we are at providing updates ourselves perhaps we do need you.
Or, at least we need someone that can properly backup their work. That throws me right out the window.

Just do it on notepad. Surprisingly efficient, and you don't have to deal with traumatic errors nearly as much.
I've received Folcrum's part of the update and have completed my share of minor rewrites and formating. Right now I need to sleep, however. It's midnight and I'm partly sick. It will be done sometime tomorrow morning.
Despite this major stagnation of updates, I can assure everyone that this time I won't completely lose my work; I have learned the majestic art of copy and paste.
See you soon.
"Just" got back from VICTORIA (Read: A week ago. Been busy with school) And can return to doing updates again.
