Mostly kidding, though its looking like Burter is going to start his up before CC ends and you guys will have to either drop out or the normal fluid timing bs that happens where you'll be rping both at once.
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Kaden - 05-20-2008
With the possible exception of a sign-up, I'm not posting in DA until CC is officially over.
If that means I miss, DA, then I miss DA.
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Medraut - 05-20-2008
Eh, looks like DA will only have 5 or 6 people in it this year. XD
Hard for me to fluid time a join rp because I can still die so if I sign up in Earth fluid time and die during the saga, I might not be able to join after all.
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Sage - 05-20-2008
I believe fluid time will be allowed if they overlap, but I'm convinced that they probably won't.
Anyway, like I said, on Friday will be the second-last update. The finale will be the update after that, so if you're set on getting a specific piece of character development done during the saga, I suggest you don't hold off too long.
I said it before, as well, but you guys are awesome. You're doing so kickass, and I really appreciate the level of activity and quality you guys have shown. I honestly believe CC wouldn't have made it this far without your enthusiasm. I'm sure it will meet a good end thanks to all your hard work.
EDIT: As far as fluid time and death concerns go, there's two possible outcomes:
1) Burter allows for the dead to enter (not inconceivable, he could either have you revived or given a special DA temporary alive pass or something)
2) If you die and the first doesn't happen, we just pretend your join post didn't happen. No harm no foul. I doubt Burter's looking for a novel or a magnum opus for a join post anyway.

I hope this isn't considered spam, but...
We are the Borg, you will be assimilated, resistance is futile!
I'm sorry lol, I had to say it. This whole saga just reminds me too much of the Borg, especially after the Construct told us it's plan >.<. I'm too much of a trekky to not noticed the similarities.
(Not saying they are the same, just felt they were similar enemy creations, ya know?)

I was thinking The Flood from Halo.
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Sage - 05-20-2008
Bojack's correct.
The Flood is one of several inspirations for the Construct. I've also borrowed from the Master and the Unity in Fallout.
Any sort of utopion or hivemind culture can be related to the Borg or to the Flood or anything like it. And maybe I've even done something along the lines of the Borg; I don't actually know enough about them to be sure.
As I understand, though, the Borg actually know they're evil and don't care.
The Gravemind and the Master honestly believe they're doing the universe a favor. The Construct shares this belief.
I don't think it's spam. I don't mind at all sharing inspiration for anything, assuming I consciously borrowed inspiration for a particular subject.

I was mostly kidding ^^.
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Piper Juunanagou - 05-20-2008
Post up for my group
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Sage - 05-21-2008
Oh, it seems I made a mistake.
Speaking of the Flood, they're almost purely viral. Their aim, like any virus, is to consume everything around it until nothing is left, effectively bringing about it's own demise.
The Graveminds are capable of deeper thought than that, but that's the overall gist. Apparently. That could be wrong too. I honestly don't give a damn about a story as shallow as Halo's to research it more thoroughly.

My first instinct was to defend Halo.
And that confuses me.

What sort of weapons are in the armory, is there armor in the armory, and what are my limits? Because I fully intend on going nuts with ki weapons and shit.
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Jack - 05-22-2008
Dude... dude. Am I dead?
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Dehan - 05-22-2008
lol man you're dead. Going to post tonight or tommorow. Fight or flight...FIGHT FTW!
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Alura - 05-22-2008
I should be writing tonight. My roleplay will heavily involve myself and Kirano
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Kaden - 05-22-2008
I have, like, three different RPs started for my group. I just haven't been able to force anything out.
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Android-18 - 05-22-2008
I'll have a rp tomorrow.
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Sage - 05-22-2008
Kiro. Your limits are that whatever you find doesn't magically make you invincible or is capable of like instantly killing strong opponents. Besides that, I don't care.
You can find a microwave gun if that floats your boat.
[SAGA] Calculating Catastrophe (Cont.) - Sullivan - 05-22-2008
Ok. Cool.
Posted.

Bra, honey, I died? I didn't intentionally mean to be inactive. The a/c adapter for my laptop broke, and I had to wait like 2 or 3 weeks to get home to get the receipt to use the warranty.
