It looked like everyone wanted it, then they all split off and took other factions instead.

I don't know, but buy enlightenment of the Illuminati today!

Side Effects may include vomiting, a sudden desire to argue with rational people and constantly spout how they are all sheeple, intense rage whenever someone mentions the positives of capitalism, braking your computer screen when a blacksmith shows that the World Trade Center couldn't have possibly been destroyed by detonated explosives by bending a molten hot steel bar with his pinky finger, constantly seeing triangles everywhere, and randomly speaking in Cthulhu speak. 光明股份有限公司 created this with the assistance of Singameme Corporation, all complaints shall go to them.


There's a number of words that could possibly be made with any combination of characters in unicode and in every language ever spoken, written, read, or thought in the history of the universe. That number is divisible by a number, which is also a number. Three is a number. Three is the number of sides in a triangle. Triangle is a word. So is Illuminati.

Well, you can blame Human Revolution for the birth of the Mechanocracy. That and the Terminator franchise were my main inspirations for the creation of first the Mechanocracy of Blakullar and then the first edition of Mechanocratic Russia that was set in the year 2041. A little bit lot of Command and Conquer: Red Alert later (mostly to adapt for the Fallout-esque theme of the Frencoverse), and you have everybody's favourite machine-ruled, post-Soviet totalitarian hellhole.

Interstellar does sound pretty cool, but Galactic is foreboding and Intergalactic is awe-inspiring. Planetary sounds small but strong, and Interplanetary sounds badass. Anything beyond Intergalactic sounds garish.

The first step to breaking a bad habit is admitting you have a problem. At least, that's what my psychologist tells me. But he also told me I showed a positive when I took the Psychopath Test, but I told him that there's no way a fat man could stop a trolley, at least not one light enough for me to push. He was not amused.

Well I mean, this is the RP group for fake nations ruled by computers, so most of us are probably going to come out in favor of DX. :P
I am quite hyped about the new one coming out, almost as much as I am about Mirror's Edge: Catalyst.


Ugh. Tired today. Want RP, can't get it, but not energetic enough to draw stuff from Nayba Collective, either.

Hmn. I could just straight-up write fiction for Ashkera and Nayba Collective, and it might be good practice. My issue is that I expect no one would read it, so I wouldn't get that positive buzz of appreciation I need to fuel my work. In an RP, you know you at least have an audience of one more than yourself.

Ashkera is definitely created as a work of art for an audience, even if that audience is a bunch of bored people on the internet. It's like performance art.

For me, my writing was just a chance to put this massive world floating around my head down on figurative paper. Having an appreciative audience is just a nice corollary to that. Towards that end, I have considered publishing what I have at some point.

Try hitting the top and allowing the bottom to move downwards a bit. It should blow it out. This only works if most of the liquid is still in it, so it's probably a useless suggestion.

Yes, I know Fireballs don't happen in deep space, but still. Damn.


Also, that much energy would probably cause a black hole to form, nullifying the 'fireball'.
