Retech

Does anyone know where Dusty went?

You extended credit? Personally I would've made some sort of debit system. After years of frivolous spending and easy borrowing, the children at [insert name of Grim's elementary school here] began to feel the effects of their debt. Their overlevereged accounts caused interest rates to rise, a situation exascerbated by the soft drink crash of 2008. The gum merchants began to feel the heat too, as their customers began to default on their loans. The merchants packed their bags and moved on, while the children lived in a state of gum poverty for years to come.

Rocco, I meant without having underground connections and half a fortune, as Nex was saying before.

Can't you just bring your own gum though?

You have to pay for gum?

I have spore, but all the creatures look goofy. It could work though. :rolleyes:

If there's still interest, I would be happy to go ahead. :thumbup:

Presenting my bioship! I made extensive modifications to the original design, including coloring it green. :)

Why wouldn't I be able to pull off a mohawk?

Don't lump me into your bag of viruses Nex. I'm only a hair from crossing over into a Killer T cell. ;) Also, I've become obsessed with the butchering of Geography. When I am saying that Georgia is being threatened by Russia, it does not mean that the Russians have put missles on Cuba again! :evil:

That's cruel Nex! Oh Grim/Nex, are your races plants or animals?

Isn't that...everything?

Archi, maybe we could add that as a disadvantage? :lol: We had to choose 500 years of research, right?

Can it talk?

Zey look funny. :) Did you draw the picture?

Well my main point was for combat. If you could imagine any James Bond movie where the bad guy is riddled with bullets and falls to the ground, the plants would probaly lose a few "limbs". It would probaly be able to keep on fighting for a while, until it collapsed eventually from structural breach. To that end, the main method of combat against each other (Lichten on Lichten) would be the use of Jellyfish tentacle whips, which are basically kelp strands with little tentacles attached. A highly effective melee weapon and torture device, causing almost instantaneous paralysis and excruciating pain. :thumbup:

Oh Archi, there was something you might have missed. Since they're plants with no vital organs except the brain, they should have high resistance to ballistics (being riddled with bullets is probaly less damaging for a plant than a human) and low resistance to energy weapons? So if we use 5 as average resistance on a scale from 0-10, the Lichten "slightly increased resistance" would be a 6, with ballistic weapons as 8 and energy weapons as 4? (Arbitrary numbers, but it helps explain)

Can you affect them Psionically? "I COMMAND YOU TO EAT YOURSELF!"

^ I don't know why, but I find that extremely funny. Maybe I should see a Psychiatrist.

When he means troop strength, is that how effective troops are or how muscular they are? Like would it matter for a psionic race?

Either Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide (Plant-Jellyfish thingy), with an earth-like temp I think (below 285 Kelvins with it I think). I'll take high pressure. Resources isn't a big deal since I use kelp, but the more the merrier I guess. ;P

Yesh pwease Nex. Earth-like temperatures and mainly aquatic pl0x? :thumbup:

Accepted, but your race has crappy ships and so do mine. :thumbup:

Righto. :thumbup: Is there any chance that this can be settled peacefully? Perhaps George Washington and King George can joust for the American territories!

Yessir Archi. :P
