What game is that?

EDIT: And I can see how the meeting's going to end in a few chapters as well.

Ganthet: "That is all we have to discuss, is there anything more?"
Paul: "Yes, I had a message to relay from Controller Hinon Hee Hanannan to Guardian Dennap."
Dennap: "Yes? What news does my sister have for me?"
Paul: -echem- "I have been a bad bad man, and am to report to you for punishment for a few weeks, then she'll want me back."
Guy: -looks at Paul, shocked- "Paul? Wut?"
Dennap: "Oh. Good. It's been a while since I've whipped anyone. Report to the Sciencells for punishment."

But I'd rather play a Young Justice Bethesda game with glitches. It just wouldn't be the same without them. Imagine Red Tornado attacking Mount Justice, and then they clip right through the floor while trying to flood it. Red Inferno's head flopping all over the place as Paul tries to convince her not to hurt them.

Basically, surprisingly high areas of London housing are largely uninhabited. This is because the continual rise of house prices make the properties there much better places to put your money than shares, so they get bought and just left there. There's something similar happening with large office blocks as well. No one wants to work in them but they keep getting built.

And then there's this insanity.

There is apparently a big bubble in the housing market that is brewing in China for much the same reason. Many Chinese don't have access to safe investments that provide a reasonable return, so they invest in property instead. It always ends badly...

As for starting badly... I thought it was widely known that skyscrapers with concave shiny surfaces are a bad idea. I'm mostly not impressed with modern architecture anyway. Some of the most lauded architects are so highly praised for impractical designs that have basic usability failings. Like this monstrosity:

I haven't read the green lantern comics but following tge guardian bios, aren't some of them born after others died? Also, it makes mention tomating with the zamorans, kyle rayner and USA field trips having happened for some of them to exist if I am reading this right, as well as Saint Walker still being alive for some things that didn't happen yet.

Though from what I gather: Ganthet is the most humanlike and with the broadest emotional spectrum and smiles, he will eventually make the blue corps.Sayd should not be born yet, takes after Ganthet and knows the prophecy of the blackest night and war of light so looks at Paul with curiosity. Appa smiles at us but it is unclear if this is before or after he went on a fieldtrip cross country with green arrow and Lantern to better understand mortals.Herupa is neutral which makes sense because he is better known for making the manhunters and getting all the guardians laid. Pazu and Ranakar are also neutral but not much is known about them. Dennap is disinterested which is her default state regarding mortals. Kontross looks at them in disgust and he heard a prophecy from Zeus's oracles that it will be a humans green lantern would destroy the Oans but doesn't believe in it. Finally, Broome wants to dissect and analyze paul apparently but he is always wondering how to guarantee the survival of the GLC.

Err when he turned Alans lantern to orange and asked why it could only hold two charges and couldn't be subspaced the ring told him the planar fracture would be unstable unless it was paired to the orange power battery... First time he recharged he saw the Ophidian and Larfleeze... Explaining/bullshiting THAT part isn't particularly difficult, as he could claim he could sense the Ophidian for a while and she apparently favored him from the beginning (remember Kent said Paul was requesting Ophidian help whenever he used her eyes to see into a persons soul and she readily agreed to SHARE her vision with him). Explaining Nekkron IS difficult UNLESS he lies and tells him Dark Druid name dropped it.

Edit: Oh, he isn't answering the easy question "The ring told me" because he doesn't want them asking the hard questions (Lantern Raker, Nekkron, etc). Fair enough, still think answering THAT one would have started the negotiations in a less sour note, but Paul did give them the ring corpse, so they aren't as likely to take offense.

Ganthet frowns slightly. "You did not answer my question. You informed Lantern Jordan that we had misled our Corps well before you visited the Vega Systems. How did you know of the existence of the Orange Central Power Battery?"

Only one way to answer that.

I shrug. "I'm afraid that's a piece of information I'm not prepared to share at this juncture."

One of the paths you can take in the game is really sucking up to the Guardians. Tell them everything with complete honesty and they can be persuaded to revitalise Alan. Sadly, the SI doesn't know this and has already made that path unavailable.

No, no he isn't.

I'm somewhat curious as to what would happen if someone who plans to do anything with the information and willing to believe it will learn of the whole comic book thing that the SI exploits for information. Mother of Mercy had to have noticed the comic book thing, and she can't think that the SI is that delusional indefinitely.

Oh! Is the SI going to ask the Guardians for any records they have of what Mars had on it's surface pre-Burning Martian war? Would probably make recreating old Mars a lot easier for the SI and Controllers.

A sorry-for-blocking-you-out-of-my-mind present for M'gann.

From an outside perspective, that would be rather funny. He would be gifting her some extremely important cultural history that the Martians have lacked for their entire existence because he committed a social faux pas against her.

It's still completely in character, what with him fixing Artemis' mother's lifelong crippling injury because he felt bad for being a jerk to her.

Really? Huh. I gotta say, I'm impressed at the sheer number of options the devs have put into this game. I'm not even done with my first playthrough yet and I already know I'm gonna be replaying this at least a dozen times.

(The devs actually have an imprisoned strong AI in a box that procedurally generates the story's content. Look at the file size of the game, it's not enough to hold all the assets seen in a single playthrough, much less all of them. There's an actual reason the game needs an internet connection even in singleplayer. The AI's codename is MZ, but I've already said too much.)

Kind of a good question. There was a mention of it in Fool's Canon, the thread sporadically brings it up, and the FAQ that nobody seems to read explains it.

But only Paragon-side; presumably he left when Grayven made Earth his territory and forbade meddling from Apokolips. So "Martian Womanhunter" suddenly lost his secretly-a-New-God lawyer and was deported unexpectedly, probably wondering what happened, and M'gann never got the upgrades to her shapeshifting in that timeline.

On the other hand, R-M'gann became a Red Martian and is no longer afraid of fire.

The Wiki's bios are somewhat distorted by DC's many reboots and retcons, plus YJ universe doesn't completely match Mainline universe's history (and the Wiki is primarily focused on Mainline)

Not really. In the comics, the Zamarons and the Guardians intentionally split on gender lines. Child Maltusians, you see, have the psychic power that a child's temper tantrum is literally an extinction level event, so the ancient Maltusians got tired of the genocide and vowed not to have kids anymore.

Zoat made the decision to not have kids be based on "giving the other species a chance," so the split wasn't based on gender lines here, but just ideology. Which means there's no reason a male Zamaron couldn't show up if Zoat feels up to making an OC....

However, apparently no one told Kyle any of this, because when he decided to resurrect the Guardians because Ganthet was the only one who survived Hal going Dark Phoenix, he reincarnated them as both children and as mixed gender.

So Sayid is both new and one of the original Guardians from 10 billion years ago, just very very changed.

Therefore, between making an OC, or making a male pre-Sayid that would basically be an OC, or just basing a character on Sayid, Zoat went with the option that was easiest.

Missing starting quote symbol in this sentence.

I guess Sayd and Ganthed are invested because they both take the blackest night prophecy seriously and Paul name dropped Nekkron a while ago (thus giving them more ammunition to convince the others about it), but why is Apa so happy?

It depends on how much they respect the SI compared to the Controllers and unaligned Maltusians. They see the orange light as inherently destabilizing, and I believe that Zoat commented that had they found the ring Hinon made before it got to the SI they would have studied it a bit and then destroyed it. So they might see the SI as an outlier who is able to remain stable with so much orange in him, and his Corps as a well intentioned idea destined to failure, or they might be less charitable and are only remaining civil because they still respect their cousins on Maltus. Worth pointing out that the Guardians probably aren't unified in their opinions, and Ganthet and the others who reacted diplomatically are likely of the former opinion, and the rest are of the latter.

If they think his Corps can accomplish its apparent goals, then they can have various galactic thorns in their sides removed without losing Green Lanterns. The Vega system has already had the Citadelians removed and the Tamaranians freed, and Larfleeze is contained and depowered. If the OLC is successful in fighting back the Reach and can clean up Vega, then the only major chronic problem I'm aware of is Apokolips.
 
Coda said:
Gotta be curious... I would imagine that the Guardians would know Larfleeze was in possession of the Orange Light Fountain and not a Central Power Battery. Are they choosing not to bother with the distinction in speech here, or what's the story?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
Ganthet considers the technical distinction to be irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
 
I..uh... gotta ask now, Zoat.

Is there... any possibility of Snowflame showing up, even if it's only to get swatted down? I just want to SEE the other charicter's reactions to his stichk XD
