Is there a summary anywhere of when Radiance upgrades and what he players need to do? We just finished the first book. I was skimming the second and I see that it upgrades an additional +1 at then end, but the book didn’t say whether it was to +2 total or +3 and or whether there were any other powers.
Wait, so... What? How can you tell? Is there something wrong with liking WSWS? (Besides the whole 'enemy of civilization thing') Are they Pabloites? Are you a Spartacist? What is a Healyite? I swear I googled this before asking you. Was Pablo trying to dilute Troskyism into nothingness, or was he trying to infiltrate and take over mainstream communism? Most importantly, am I at risk of being purged for liking Brust?
Really? Based on my extensive[1] research, the Bolsheviks helped interdict troops movements and were given back weapons in case Kornilov managed to get troops to Petrograd. Is that not true, or do you not consider that 'support'? 1) I spent three minutes reading the wiki page.
Somebody warn those beautiful people that there is a horrifying hairy humanoid sneaking up behind them! Brust is a lot of fun. I don't think he's 'Trotsky-leaning', though, I think he's just a flat out out Trotskyite/ist.
Take a look at where most police brutality is directed and the answer becomes a lot more obvious. To be slightly more charitable, it might also be an example of the Just World Fallacy. The police happen to people who 'deserve' it.
Arcane Marxist shiznit: Not that it's really pertinent to this thread, but, for the record, the standard commie line is that cops aren't workers, they are agents of the state. Therefore, police unions aren't workers organizations but, rather, professional associations of agents of the state. Interesting - so what is the conservative line on this? Am I correct in thinking that conservatives dislike all unions except for police and fire? Or is that an unfair simplification? If true, can you give us the reasoning?
He isn't a god, it's okay if they kill him! He's just pretending. :) I seem to remember that he really doesn't have any Mythic tiers- for one thing, if he did, he would have been able to take Divine Source and grant real cleric spells instead of taking it.
:( At least you know it isn't because you screwed something up? It may be a good song sign, for your health, at least, that she is working on things by herself for a few days.
Limey, that is a fantastically ugly man. My eyes hurt now.
Doodlebug, I listened to part of the podcast you told us about with La Principesa and the two dudes from Brooklyn. She was interesting, but those two guys were boring as hell. She should have nationalized the microphone and taken over the show. In other news, did you know that your pernicious philosophy of the destruction of all right-thinking people had spread to the Middle East?
Interesting. I've heard that Paglia is sometimes considered controversial among feminists, I wonder if it's because she gets icky class issues on her politics? Good point, though, that hadn't occurred to me before.
You rabble-rousing Red! Now I've got a site in my browser history where the top 'Read next:' link is an article about whether Michelle Obama was born a man. I think I lost more than one of my precious few IQ points just looking at that article.
Presumably they were of sound mind when getting the bracelet.
You do sound knowledgeable, my friend. I was just surprised Jeff and Gallo would grace us with their considerable knowledge in this field, as well. I won't speak to the politics of who may have fired the missile, but it doesn't take much expertise to notice that Vlad is contradicting himself in different posts and at least once in the same post. It was that bit about how the large warhead wasn't large enough, so the missile must have been a smaller one with the same type of warhead. There's also the 'it was like an AA-9' and 'it couldn't have been an AA-9' with just twelve hours between the posts. I just saw a new post where he's claiming that the ~2kg warhead on an AA-11 was the only thing powerful enough to do the job, and that the ~70kg or ~50kg warheads on the other missiles would be too weak. Does that sound plausible?
My favorite thing! I get to say, "You are wrong, you horrible green person!" ... It actually is on topic. So... Thanks. It's more towards the end of the article, which is more interesting in any event. Apparently this Snyder guy is involved in a lot of the propaganda against Russia. It is NOT REASSURING at all to read the excerpts from his book and then think that people might be listening to him. Also, whatever one's politics, that first picture is amazing.
I honestly can never tell when you are joking, but just in case, it turns out that when large objects break apart in midair, fall approximately 10,000 meters, and slam into the ground.... They take some bludgeoning damage.
Add a few shanty homes and Didn't say that it was a *good* idea. :) Besides, some of the folks from that thread would say that the shanty-dwellers should generate heat by pulling harder on their bootstraps!
Wait, really? Where are AndrewR and dingo? Add a few shanty homes and this was their prescription for ending homelessness and hunger.
You should get one, we ...I mean they, totally won't use it to track you come the revolution!
Oh thats no good why would they go without Alice?Looks like they are, but it'll be before Alice entered the show, which is disappointing. They've been talking about an Alice spin-off though, which I'd totally watch.I really enjoyed Luther, and especially episodes with Alice. I felt like her dynamic with him really made the show. No Alice!?! That's horrible!
Google doesn't show anything for that phrase. Maybe someone with the original image could do an image search.
I wasn't clear, I didn't intend to disagree with you. Wanted an excuse to share that quote.
"Police officers responded to a domestic dispute, accompanied by marines. They had just gone up to the door when two shotgun birdshot rounds were fired through the door, hitting the officers. One yelled `cover me!' to the marines, who then laid down a heavy base of fire. . . . The police officer had not meant `shoot' when he yelled `cover me' to the marines. [He] meant . . . point your weapons and be prepared to respond if necessary. However, the marines responded instantly in the precise way they had been trained, where `cover me' means provide me with cover using firepower. . . . over two hundred bullets [were] fired into that house."[1] From an essay on the 1992 riots in LA. On the other hand, I've seen comments and tweets from military folks along the lines of "why are they pointing sniper rifles into the crowd?", which suggests that they might have better training for this.
Edited for the Japanese bunny. (It's weird, if I'm not looking at your avatar, Usagi-san, I always picture the character and when I look at your avatar--Roy, right?--I get disappointed.)Also 1745 and 1916! No bunnies for avatars. :( Yes, that's Roy. "when I look at your avatar"... "I get disappointed" Watch it, you little green commie!
I've seen a number of quotes from Iraq war veterans saying the cops looked better equipped than they were. Plus at least one quote from a veteran of the peacekeeping mission in Bosnia.
Bite your tongue! L. Ron Hubbard.
Wouldn't have posted just for this, but as long as I'm here and already being a je... ...pedant-"Alliance"
I misinterpreted that title, I thought he was demanding a retraction, he actually meant that she would be proven wrong and would then need to retract.
"Me too" for a lot of this. I try to avoid paying attention to celebrities, but Williams was special in many ways.
Wow! Capitain Renault got old. Probably from having to deal with "a savage people... A silly people!"
So this guy is driving in Northern Ireland a while back, and he's stopped by a bunch of men wearing balaclavas at a roadblock who drag him out of his car. They hold a gun to his head and ask "Are you a Catholic or a Protestant?" He says, "I'm an atheist!" and thinks he's going to be safe. They think about it for a moment and say, "Sure, but are you a Catholic atheist, or a Protestant atheist?"
A) AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!! Great. Just what we need more of. B) Funny, until it reminded me of the "joke" about the Troubles in Ireland... No, never mind, I'll post it over there. OTD can handle black humor.
This is one of those times where I can't tell if you are serious. They would say they are getting ready to defend themselves from a large, aggressive country to their east which has invaded them many times in their history.
Huh. "A measure of equality"? "America should intervene around the world to improve it, while avoiding entanglement"? The author appears to be somewhat confused. Though bonus points for admitting that he was cribbing from "White Man's Burden".
So, you realize that we can *see* his post, right? The one where he specifically answered this question and explained his answer? Why are you asking again?
If a player invests a lot of resources into knowledge checks it's because he wants to make them when they come up. He's not going to be upset if there's another character that can help make sure that happens. That opinion speaks well of you, but I think you'll find that people can sometimes be unhappy if someone else solves all of the tasks that they thought they were needed for. :)
Just a minor note that you wouldn't be able to get the +4 to bluff though, since that's a temporary bonus. Earlier:
This is what has people confused. Perhaps you meant, "...don't see this as usable with..."?
It was surprising to see how quickly they were able to set up an operation to arrest hundreds of people, including many of the ones who were just released in the prisoner swap. That is a lot of people to track. It seems likely Netanyahu had the plan ready and waiting. |
