Thank you, corrected.

Hubris thy name is Grayven, if Batman and the military don't have half a dozen ways to deal with you by now I would eat my hat.

Batman has several theoretical, but they aren't ready to go. The people in the military who were associated with that sort of thing got SHADEd and their replacements haven't quite got things organised yet.

But they made such a good source of rage! The synergy was just too good to pass up.

Well he is just playing with the ring. If he were doing something serious, he would probably come up with something more complicated. Goes to show how highly he thinks of construct hands.

If anything the hand was unnecessarily complex for the situation, he needed to hold a string which could be achieved without the shaping at all. Perhaps this is an insight into the differences between rings. Fear is conceptual and perhaps yellow constructs require conceptual constructs.
I.e. Hands for holding.
But I remember very little of Grayven's ring usage in general, just doesn't seem to stick when I read a renegade chapter.

Get it right! The correct term is Adventure Science.

I tried and in 2014 I found Darkseid sleeping on my couch having been ousted by the new goddess of anti-life. How do I get rid of him? Nothing I have tried sticks. He has been camped there for 3 weeks, all my liquor is gone and the genomorphs are suffering.

You do the quest with His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf.
Afterwards he will occupy your couch, incidentally ousting Darkseid. (This will make Darkseid move to Sweden)
Then you can do another quest to get him to leave, and the couch will be free. (Which you will probably want to do quickly, because while the King of Sweden is on your couch, Darkseid has free reign in Sweden.)

@Mr Zoat at some point it'd be interesting to see an interlude from ring-sinestro's point of view

Riyshn · May 27, 2016

Zoat doesn't really do alternate PoVs. The few that exist were written by people in the thread and then (usually after Zoat pointed out some things that needed tweaking), declared canon by Mr Zoat. He doesn't write them himself.

I'm not sure Sinestro-ring has a point of view. It's a user interface based on Sinestro 50's mind, not an intelligence in its own right.

I thought it was an AI created from a scan of the man himself, which would count as a mind. I've always considered scan's of people's brains like that to be similar to the usage of a True Name adding a connection to the soul of the person scanned.

"Okay, now try paying out the string a little!"

Should this be playing? If it is "paying" then that's a use of the word I've never heard before.

Grayven may have misused it.

Maybe we could use the ruins of Challengerville? Some sort of.. adventure themed thing? Wait, would some of them have been living in the area when the place got wrecked? Note to self: check before sending out the invitations.

I've heard it. Googling has it as a nautical term, but it's pretty common.

Raikor · May 27, 2016

Wait... Did anyone else catch Grayven's saying he was from Earth Prime?
I thought he was planning on lying a about that? Or was he and now he's messed up.

He wrote that one from the Russian guy's POV a little while ago. That wasn't an omake or anything, Zoat wrote that himself.

...he's a silver age science hero. How in the never ending layers of the infinite Abyss did GRAYVEN of all people become a silver age science hero?!

finbikkifin said:
He's working to demonstrate to the universe at large that Mad Science is not the only kind of science. There is also Two-Fisted Science!

And now I want Grayven to form his own Science Adventure team of FantasticFour/JohnnyQuest expies, an archetype which "Challengers of the Unknown" helped inspire.

All they need is matching uniforms and a team logo.

Members so far:
=Grayven: team leader, proverbial 'genius bruiser'.
=Mister Tawney: team mascot.
=June Robbins: experienced ex-adventurer, voice of reason, immune/invisible to fate.
=Jean: telepathic artificial lifeform, secretary and housekeeper, token eye candy.
=Lynne: 'tagalong kid', Grayven's 'mortality pet', team heart.

Possible members:
=Jade: ex-assassin, Grayven's paramour.

=
P.S. Possible Lynne/Tawney interaction reminded me of a "Ask A Ninja" skit.

Ninja: "Instead of a babysitter, my parents would leave me alone with two or three tigers. They'd ward off anything really dangerous but still keep me on my toes."

On the other hand, they might be tourists.

...Or, like, evil invaders I guess.

For that "fuck amazo" conversation what game are you guys talking about with managing the superheroes for stuff?

With this Ring, of course.

It's from the same studio as Chapter Master, maybe you'd recognize that one? Still have no idea how they keep getting licenses but I'm not complaining.

It responded to the love radiation given off but the Star Sapphire back in Stars, Crossed. That sounds like a full mind to me. Besides, I believe in Best Ring!

"Ah yes, I see you caught that. I am actually Grayven from Earth Prime. Us New Gods took over Earth Prime a long time ago. We spend our days celebrating each other's Earth-calendar birthdays, flying kites, and eating full English breakfasts."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People in this thread like to pretend that there's a With This Ring game and that this thread documents two separate playthroughs of said game. Regrettably, the game in question does not actually exist.
