Kai's probably going to have far more fun with this than anyone else.

Jun 08, 2006 01:44

I've amused myself lately - while doing other things or just terribly bored - by trying to poke holes in the GhostCity plot/universe, in order to force myself to either flesh out or outright fix things. Or even just amuse myself with oddities I barely recognized ( Read more... )

There -IS- a question 2.

What have you done with it?!

You've killed it haven't you?!?!?!

HOW DARE YOU!! REVENGE SHALL BE MINE!!! YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME!!!

.....ya, okay, so i've been needing to vent a little bit.

I'm fine now. Really.

I never touched question 2!

But if you're actually asking about RULE 2....well....I'm not saying anything without my lawyer.

lyonness June 10 2006, 20:40:02 UTC

LIAR!!

Don't tell me you didn't know who Rule Number two really was!!!

YOU LIE!

It was question number two all along, he was simply in the question protection program and issued a new identity as "Rule" Number two.

AND YOU KILLED HIM!!!

You're goin' down for this one Drew. Mark my words, you're goin' down.

How do you justify the HORRIBLY FLAWED HIERARCHY OF DIETIES?!

mindseyedream June 9 2006, 17:52:17 UTC

Why are ninjas so inept? Are there no REAL ninjas to slaughter the fakers, or do they just not care? If so, why not?

mindseyedream June 11 2006, 14:54:16 UTC

There are indeed real ninjas, but their numbers are pretty small due to very exclusive acceptance requirements.

The reason the ninjas 'seen' so far are so very inept is because they're essentially lowest bidders...they ammount to little more than a company of people who think ninjas are cool, and who have a bare minimum of ninja training. There are just a whooooole lot of them.

As for why they don't slaughter the fakers....anyone powerful enough to hire the real deal knows enough to tell and respect the difference, and what purpose would it serve? Hell, having the fakes around might even do them some good...who's going to be paranoid about a real ninja when the majority of the "ninja" population is so inept?

Is there an internet or similar global information network in GC? It just occured to me that I don't think I've ever heard you mention something like that.

mindseyedream June 14 2006, 17:35:53 UTC

You know, I don't think I have.

There IS a global information network, called the web or the net. Due to GC's significantly higher technology level, it's not quite the same one we know - there's the normal web-browsery one, and there's one more along the lines of, say, Cowboy Bebop - full 3-d immersal into a vast information network. The latter takes some talent or training to use, plus some special equipment.

Gaming hasn't quite caught up enough to use the latter, though.

Incidentally, it's not mentioned much because it's not a huge thing. Az and Rune aren't really internety people, and Gryph doesn't have much of an interest in technology at all (girlfriend not withstanding).

Blayde uses it for research, sometimes, but like most spellcasters, prefers a good book. Rune tinks with it off and on, but is...really quite bad with computers.

Crystal uses it a lot, but she's got a direct link to it inside her head, so she can surf in the back of her mind while she's doing other things.
