Are space vampires good for the health of the game?

[Ian Skippy]

Still a better love story than Twilight.

Did someone say space vampires?

Space Costello would be ok, but only if it was Elvis.

Overlord's Army are on thier way,
Overlord's Army are here to stay!

Well, I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincere. The video is fantastic, that is really what I think, Oh by they way, is there a reason you've installed Sméagol's voice pack to his vocal output?

To me, Lifeforce was one of those I'd have picked to show it as a very very bad idea. Classic movie, maybe in some circles, but a good movie, it was not.

Mathilda May was enough to make it good. She even made Privateer 2 good. So I guess Elite could use some Space Vamps.

My question is, do you believe that space vampires such as SAI-4 are good for the health of the game?

Now my question is, is Zarek Null good for this forum? I say yes.
Is the forum now healthier? Questionable.
Should it be healthier? No.

 

[Siobhan]

Now my question is, is Zarek Null good for this forum? I say yes.

Would you mind explaining why?

 

[Arry]

As some of you are already aware, in the aftermath of the open-mode player event Operation:Tinman, I, Zarek Null, Overlord of the Galaxy, unleashed a vampiric sentient artificial intelligence named SAI-4 upon the galaxy. His origins and activities can be seen here:



My question is, do you believe that space vampires such as SAI-4 are good for the health of the game?

I would say that: Space Vampires, would be good for the heath of the game; because, it would give players, more things to hunt and kill.

 

[Arry]

What's wrong with something nice, like space puppies?

We could hunt and kill, them too.

 

[RexKraemer]

Would you mind explaining why?

There is always some amusement somewhere in his threads.

There is always some amusement somewhere in his threads.

Ah, we obviously have different thresholds for what passes as amusing.
But that's ok...

I admit, mine is very low. But this does not allow any conclusion on the quality off Zarek Nulls posts.
It's also about the answers of Zareks OPs.

 

[Arry]

Apologies if I've not been paying attention, Z, but how can you possibly be Overlord of the Galaxy? I thought being Overlord of Eravate was already stretching it, as you couldn't be on duty all the time even there.

But of the whole Galaxy? No, I'm not buying it.

She made herself overlord a few months ago. There was a debate and she basically ignored any opposition and gave herself the title: With special salute and everything.

 

[TopCat160]

I even managed to secure leadership authority over the notorious Smiling Dog Crew themselves (whom at one time opposed me).

But, it is true, there remain dissidents scattered throughout the galaxy that still refuse to recognize my authority to rule. And not until every Pilots Federation commander in the galaxy kneels to me, will my work be complete.

Thanks for clearing that up, Z. Impressive credentials, but you'll be no ruler of mine until you learn how to use the word 'whom' correctly. Galactic overlords should be able to speak and write with correct grammar, in my book.

That is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one, I should point out.

Still, nice vids!!

Is Onionhead as effective against Space vampires as garlic is against ordinary vampires?

 

[Bob Lighthouse]

I am unable to recall any game nor movie in which space vampires were an improvement over no space vampires, so my vote is against.

Blindsight by Peter Watts is improved with space vampires.


Excellent read!

Review here:

It’s my opinion that Peter Watts’s Blindsight is the best hard science fiction novel of the first decade of this millennium—and I say that as someone who remains unconvinced of all the ramifications of its central argument. Watts is one of the crown princes of science fiction’s most difficult subgenre: his work is rigorous, unsentimental, and full of the sort of brilliant little moments of synthesis that make a nerd’s brain light up like a pinball machine. But he’s also a poet—a damned fine writer on a sentence level, who can make you feel the blank Lovecraftian indifference of the sea floor or of interplanetary space with the same ease facility with which he can pen an absolutely breathtaking passage of description.

FDevs Thargoid people need to read that book.

You want vampires? Only if they can be defeated by a ghost. The most powerful ghost you'll ever know:

Or a Ranger with fists of steel and a no-nonsense attitude:

Or at least a professional expert on the subject of how to defeat their nefarious, evil plans:

Now, sir, take your vampires and scurry away back into the dark shadows from which you came.

 

[Slange Lands]

I'm beginning to think that SAI-n (aka Toaster Face) as a "Space Vampire is quite the misnomer.

Vampires suck blood. Toaster Face sucks blast ejecta.

A female mosquito in orbit around Sol or a travelling phlebotomist engaged in off planet transit are Space Vampires.

Since the OverGenius Zarek Null could not have made such an elementary error, I believe Space Vampire to be a typo. What Null really meant to write was Space Vamp.

Toaster Face is a Space Vamp.

And yes, absolutely there should be more of them. I believe Smiling Dog Crew is recruiting.
