Re: [Picture Wars] New PW!
I might try and sprite something eventually.
Maybe.
But I'd need some information about the mechanics of this team I've been thinking of.
Von Neumann Probes, similar to the ones from Sword of the Stars. There would be a Mother, which creates new Probes, who go forth and get more raw materials for the Mother, which uses them to make more Probes, or to make another Mother.
Once enough Probes and Mothers exist, they start creation of the Construct, which is a Probe on steroids. There is also the Berserker, which exists only for war, built only when Probes and a Mother have been destroyed.
I don't think I could sprite the Construct, but I could possibly sprite the Probe and Mother and perhaps the Berserker.
But I would not have a base to build, the Von Neumann never build bases, they strip worlds to the bone then move on. Building a base is a waste of resources and time that could have gone into making more Probes and Mothers.

Re: [Picture Wars] New PW!
Seamus does exactly what you'd expect a ruthless pirate in a mech frame to do after being shot at with a rocket launcher. He kills things. The plasma rounds rip through the trees and take the horn off one troll, perforate another, and destroy the rifle of a third. "Lets give you a taste of your own medicine." The junker takes evasive maneuvers , which involve flying straight up, dumping flares, and lots of prayer.

I find it funny you colored all the troll blood red.

Re: [Picture Wars] New PW!
Can anyone give me some tips on where to start spriteing/spriting my ships? The large diamond ship is one of the Mothers, but where would I start spriting/spriteing it?

Declare. Code: >>> INITIATING ASSEMBLY ROUTINE ... CMBT_DRN[MG] ... PROGRESS: 63% While the scout drone steadily moves towards it's target, the factory drone begins constructing a third combat drone. Also, isn't it forbidden to make one's own projectiles hit in the same turn they're fired?

Re: [Picture Wars] New PW!
Uh..Glowsticks, for one, you didn't move my rocket at all. Secondly, shooting a gun and landing a hit are 2 turns apart. Shame on you.
(Also, you hit Jisk, who is a melonblood. Therefore he doesn't have red blood. :l)

Second, it's not a hard and fast rule that shooting and scoring a hit is two different turns. In fact, hitting on the same turn is pretty common with bullets or other smaller weapons at close range. Glowsticks has been doing it longer than you I believe, so I think he knows what he is doing. Also he may not read Homestuck, so he might not know about Troll blood colors.

Re: [Picture Wars] New PW!
I realize that it's not generally a rule of normal PW, but if you look at the rules of my thread.. Miggles wrote: When firing projectiles, you can not fire the gun and kill an enemy with the same gun in the same turn. Usually the person on the other side of the firefight is the one who finishes the projectiles' trail. They will decide whether it hits or not, where it hits, and how hard it hits. However it must be fair. If you're getting shot at by 7 million bullets, dodging 6,999,999 of them isn't fair. Though he didn't kill my soldier, it's still an illegal move.

Re: [Picture Wars] New PW!
Miggles. I've been on the official forum for over a year now and I assure you it is not illegal, especially considering I didn't kill anyone. I also didn't move your rocket because of the fact that I had no idea what payload it had and the next move would have been impact. And big weapons, such as rockets, fall under the multi-turn hit rule. Note my rocket didn't insta hit you. Also, I was worried about the blood and attempted to find blood colors for Homestuck trolls, but aside from reading through all bagillion posts of it I couldn't find anything.

Re: [Picture Wars] New PW!
There is no "official" site, we didn't invent the concept of drawing tiny people fighting eachother. He can make whatever rules he wants, he'd even be allowed to do that on my forum.
Personally would say the rule needs clearing up so that you only move things that are likely to effect your units though, you can't have every player moving every projectile every turn in a sandbox or it would be madness.
