The Constant Struggle Against the Spam Bots

[Jess887cp]

OOC: I do what I want >:c
jk, i've got it.

[TRANSMISSION START]
The king is pretty insistent that he doesn't go into the kitchen, so I start manhandling the guy and I have to fight off a guard. Nothing too hard.

I forced him into the kitchen and he looks really scared, especially as I grin at him while picking up a carving knice and put it to his neck.

I then whisper into his ear; "take a peek over the counter, and tell me what you see."

The king looks over and sees the other cook madly flailing about a rather large bottle of poison, completely OD'd on my coke.

I facepalm.

At least the king thinks the cook is possessed by demons now, and knows about the poisoning attempt. I think.


I think this didn't quite go according to plan. Um. I was never good at following instructions anyway.

You do know I knew that would happen?
Don't ask me how.
No one else at all would have been able to get the King to the kitchen.
If I had done it, they would arrest me for witch craft.
Don't ask me what I would do.
Well done!

Dear god, please, never use those words in a sentence again. There's just waaaaaaay too many cliches surrounding those words.

 

[whizzball1]

Which words?

 

[Bellaabzug21]

Which words?

"I knew that would happen, don't ask me how, but I do." Or some variation of that. It's one of the greatest writing cliches of all time. If you ever TA for a lower grade level or become a teacher you will see kids using that waaaaaaaaay too often.

I have an explanation, but it's premature.
You haven't found out what I am and therefore won't understand how I can see into the future.

But please for the love of god, use word choice. Like "You cannot comprehend the level I have pushed my power to" or something like that. Just saying "Don't ask me how but I do." Is kind of lazy in my opinion.

OOC: You guys REALLY don't know anything about the War of the Roses?
Henry VIII ended up with a war between the House of Lancaster (red rose) and the House of York (white rose).
He wasn't the son of a King or anything like that.

Oh.
Ok then.
Let's pretend that the Breaks messed that up.
And that whatever the outcome of the war was, that's what the kingdom was like before Henry was born.
There!
Problem solved.

But you don't even know what I am!
You think I'm just a Conduit Leader.

Unless you're Jesus, or my mom, I can wait through your not so subtle hints to find out. Until then, I shall go the subtle route. #YOLOSWAG!

Edit: The next time break is where there's a five year period of Canada being ruled through twitter.

In the meanwhile...
Back to the Throne Planet.
[BEGIN TRANSMISSION]
Hey guys, I have somewhere I need to.
I'll probably be back within a day or two after which time we will organize the second trip to fix a break.
Bai!

Throne Planet:

Just quoting this post so Rymmie will know to respond

[BEGIN TRANSMISSION]
Oh, will Rymmie get a kick out of this.
As I finish exploring enough sections of this huge mall, I chance upon a door that leads to areas beyond my clearance.
I pull out my staff and quickly change my appearance to look like a hobbled old man and walk using the staff.
As I walk to the door, the guards pull out their swords and make an X pattern in front of the door.
"Clearance?" the guard asks. I point to the badge.
"That's not enough for this section. Sorry," he says in a gruff voice.
I continue forward.
"Sir, we can't let you pass."
Suddenly, I straighten up and twirl my staff around.
Before they have time to react, I start pulling moves so fast that they don't see the staff in time for it to knock the swords out of their hands.
I then proceed to attack them.
They resort to fists and such to try and stop me, but I'm too fast for them, and I knock them all unconscious, one by one.
I change back to my normal self, then walk back out into the mall.
I don't think I need to know what's past the mall yet.
[END TRANSMISSION]
OOC: And that's just using a staff! I was going to snap a finger and they all fall unconscious, but that's just boring.

OOC: I think some of the characters have become way too Gary Stu.

OOC: Wasn't this supposed to be a SURVIVAL apocalypse?
Like with lack of food, ammo, water...
Not an Universe full of idealized characters that are supposed to be the author or an intergalactical plot.

OOC: That's what I thought, but then there was a bunker and the tech to time travel and I got a future laptop. *shrugs*

I still pretend that the outside is like fallout with tons of zombies.

Well Rymmie came in and made it something more!
But suffice to say that we'll get in to fighting something a lot worse than spambots.

OOC: I always imagined the spambots as a mix between Claptrap from Borderlands and Turtles (CC ones), just incredibly evil.

Gary Stu?

More commonly known as Mary Lu, is a character that is perfect and or invincible. Usually happens when writers use their own names in stories. How about we prevent this by changing all our names in the RP?

Edit: I found a wonderful story for you Whiz, about what happens when you become a Mary sue: http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/marysuewho

Do note that I am not OP on Earth.
And that's probably the last thing I'm saying today.

OOC: Ok, the Emperor does essentially have an I-WIN button built-in. So, let me switch it up and go with Joshua Ian Benford. He's incredibly smart, but he only has a ship and a robot wife. His home is Mars where he stumbled upon an ancient Martian spaceship factory. So, let me exit the Emperor stage left and introduce Benford.

[BEGIN TRANSMISSION]

Her Majesty made some very threatening remarks concerning my future well-being. If the spambots become a true Threat, I get to run around and cut them in half while exiling them to the abyss. I'll keep the Carrier on standby, but until then I'm grounded.

[END TRANSMISSION]

I think this proves our point -_- I'm afraid that you both have become Mary Sues... Too many pluses with too little negatives. Adding some downsides to your awesome power should balance it out. But one does not simply just cut a "True Threat" in half and exile it to the abyss. It is badass, i'm not gonna lie. But it is extremely over powered.
