Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
Man... knowing what John eventually becomes, I can only imagine how much the PRT would shit bricks if they were able to observe his new power set.
There is still at minimum the benefit of gaining all his memories and the ability to take on his appearance. Could use that for quite a bit of...
It helps when you can transform yourself (or part of yourself) into a bird or something and just wait until he's alone at home. Then all it takes is one touch and he's gone from this world.
Imagine a Blacklight computer plant. Solar powered and capable of running CRYSIS on max settings... Huh, I just remembered Worm is set in 2011, so that's actually still a thing.
I think that John doesn't want to casually eat people for convenience. Victor has a fuckton of skills that John...
...Why tho? John's the only Blacklight entity around. It's not separate from all the other stuff, it's just that the Blacklight factor is what made him suddenly become a walking talking existential threat to humanity.
And I'm aware that those blind spots aren't permanent, that's why I...
Danger spaghetti, covered in the forbidden sauce.
Unrelated to everything else, I just realized a few things that Blacklight has made ridiculously good.
Carapace: It was already bulletproof. Now imagine what it can do after the Blacklight stat boost and the new adaptation factor. After all...
Contessa's powers, like with all precognition Thinkers, have blind spots, namely Trigger events or forces outside their Shard's ability to break down into data. John's Chaos Gacha powers wreak all kinds of havoc on that because it is a force beyond the Entities, and its presence is not constant...
Again, it's a time matter. Have all the Tinkers be informed about Blacklight BEFORE any action is taken to consume the planet and they'll be able to stop it, I acknowledged that from the very start. If it's all a very sudden event and they're caught off guard then their chances drop like a rock...
Last I checked, the black boxing only occurs on creations that are outright impossible without a Shard warping reality to make it function, which becomes less and less of a factor as John keeps bringing more and more new shit into the world. And a Tinker can still, if they want to, make tech...
Blacklight, when directed properly, can cover continents in days, turn entire city populations into perfect lookalike puppets, copy all the skills and knowledge of its victims, and amplify every single biological function in existence to impossible levels. It's called a virus, but it's basically...
Probably Amy recoiling in terror at somebody that can out-biomorph her and could at any time simply decide to infect and consume all traces of life on earth. Blacklight is bullshit.
In the meantime there's plenty of Bio-Tinker mods to absorb and replicate. Technically not Shards :V
Blacklight...
