BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

The veto has been used well this dynasty.

Basically, this would have been well-recieved during Anthony’s dynasty, but not during one where the veto has been used responsibly.

Who defines what “resposible use” is? The Quorum of players or the emperor? Why does a single player have to decide that?

Well, I personally believe that all the vetoes this dynasty worked.  Either they were for stupid proposals, or proposals that were failing anyway.

Or proposals that were bad for me.

Or as an alternative to self-killing.

Even though I am tempted to veto this (AHHH!!! Anthony get away from me!!!!), I will resist. 

Same as rodlen.  Remember, if you REALLY want to win or work around VETO’s, we have the CfJ.

Exactly.  And you can even post CfJs anonymously in case you don’t want the Emperor to know it’s you, like when I posted the anon CfJ in Rodlen’s dynasty calling for Chuck Norris to be added as a Planar Entity (yes, that was me) and when I used a CfJ to trick people into voting me in at the end of the same dynasty.

YOU!!!

YOU!!!

HOW DARE YOU MENTION CHUCK NORRIS!?!

CHUCK NORRIS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO BLUE STEEL!!!

Chuck Norris rocks anyways.

YES THAT WAS ME!!!!  What are you gonna do about it?

Use my DDA skills.

*shoots Yoda in the head*

*pulls out lightsaber and deflects bullet*

Well, I use my Jedi skills.

*puts up lightsaber*

Well, I use my ability to throw random references to City of Heroes into this mix.

By the way, it is all a Nemesis plot.

Now I use my ability to throw random voting icons.

Heh, and here I thought it was all Load Recluse Rodlen lol

*lord

Nope.  In fact…

*spoiler warning*

Lord Recluse is canonically a Nemesis plot.  Mender Silos, aka Lord Nemesis (anagram), leads Ouroboros.  Mender Tesseract had your villain bring Recluse to power as part of an Ouroboros strike force.

Or at least, it is semi-canonical.

Nemesis led the group that brought Recluse to power, basically.

Ah. Must be on the CoV end. I’ve been more CoH

Yeah, Tesseract is CoV only.  However, Ouroboros is both.

Also on the villains’ end:

spoiler

Nemesis makes villains think they are just his automatons.

Yeah, I mostly play villains.

Wth are you guys talking about?

City of Heroes. mass multi player game. And I can see where ya ideas come from Rod lol

The MMORPG City of Heroes and its standalone expansion City of Villains.

Summed up quickly: Both games are Nemesis plots.

Sheesh your that far in? Oh and ya ready for the mission maker?

Ok…

Darknight: Yes and yes.

Level 36 brutes hurt Nemesis a lot.

Oh, and just something you may be interested in: The villain contact The Radio, an early contact, gives more info about the Outbreak drug.

It would seem to me that any Emperor who would let this pass unVetoed is one we don’t need to do it to - but I can see the desire to prevent future bad emperors from abusing their power.

Ah kk rod. thankfully i have the duel cd so I have both. Just need to restart my sub… and reinstall the game. ran out of room on my comp. lol

Ah yes, Good vs. Evil.  Nice jump pack, and the lowest-level tailor ever.

And a badge.

And costume parts.

I have the DVD editions of both games as well as GvE.

Nice. the only char i made so far is a Lv 15 ice theme tanker. The raptor pack temp power was awesome to use…. until it faded and left me smack in the middle of the f-ing Boomtown zone.

I’ve got more jetpacks than I will ever need.

CoV gives them out in large amounts.

Goldbricker packs.

Sky Raider packs.

Oh, and ouch.  Boomtown is NOT a good place to be in.

At least death is pretty minor.

By the way, that Outbreak tutorial zone is a major part of the underlying plot.  Very important.

No kidding. Damn clockwork zapping my srry butt lol. Made it a point to use my once every 3 days mission pass over if it would send me back to Boomtown. And thanks for that tip Rod lol. I really detest clockwork.

Ugh, clockwork.  But hey, at least they are not the following:

*Circle of Thorns (fuck them)
*Malta (very late villains, known for 45 second stuns…they are the reason Break Frees are good)
*Knives of Artemis or Tsoo (both bad because of caltrop overdose)
*Circle of Thorns (fuck them)

My new assault rifle blaster can barely survive clockwork.  He can survive COT of all things, but not clockwork.

Or even worse, Vanguard, the anti-melee group.

LOL. The only COT I hate are the ones that stun or deactive powers. The Lost are cake to me. I did a Midnight Squad mission that let me get a temp power that cured them. Quite fun. Ritki…. Not so much

Ah yes, that temporary power.  I love watching everyone try to kill the civilians that are created by it.  The invincible civilians.  Why can’t THEY save the world instead of me?

LMAO. That always kinda ticked me off cause ya have to be rather close to use the wand and they go running off after the cured.

But still, the cowardly civilians have more powerful powers than the superpowered heroes and villains.

lol. The zombies are fun. the truely undead ones half the time never see ya walk by lol.

Truly undead ones?  The truly undead zombies I’ve seen notice me quickly.  In fact, the true undead really come in at mid-high levels.

Vahzilok zombies don’t count.

Lol ah. Rikti still are a pain. Ya get caught in one of those mass invader spawns? Holy crud thats insane

Yep.  Got the accolade.

Easiest serious accolade (gives a bonus) to get.

Oh, and I find Rikti (and their earlier forms) pretty easy.  Knock them down and keep them down.

Not easy when i kinda lack knock down powers. I did have one of those hammer temp powers that kicked major ass. Btw, ya ever have powers ya don’t have suddenly seem to activate on a char before?

Are the icons green?  If so, then someone is buffing you through Empathy.

Not sure. All i recall is having some of the higher level ice armor powers and the iceicle power, witch i didn’t have either, suddenly trigger for about a min or 2.

...odd.

I think I know why that is happening:

Nemesis chose that it would be best if that happened.

lol neverknow. It was pretty cool looking.

I agree with Rodlen in that Chuck Norris sucks.

Oh, and Yoda, I can use random vote icons too.

Except yours are not random.

Yes, but at least I have different voting icons at once.         

And there’s some real random.

Please note that your last icon counts.

There’s no rule stating that. Therefore, they ALL count.

“If a Character uses more than one Voting Icon in comments on a Pending Proposal, his Vote is the last voting icon he uses.”

Ha.

I wonder who was so bored they decided to specify THAT…
             

someone who wanted people to be able to change their votes?

Yes.

Anyone want to count up all those votes?  I’m lost now…

Oh, and when did this proposal suddenly become a forum for Nemesis?  Just wondering.  I think this is the most comments on any one proposal.

“Well, I use my ability to throw random references to City of Heroes into this mix. “

About that point.

Just to make vote-counting harder,  , since nowhere in the ruleset does it say that characters other than the narrator can’t vote to veto.

“Any Character may cast his Vote on a Pending Proposal by making a comment on that entry using a voting icon of FOR, AGAINST or DEFERENTIAL”

“The Narrator may vote to VETO any Proposal. “

8 against to 2 for so far, I think.

CoV from   to .

70 comments. Whoa.

71…72 now.
