Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them. That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

Given that it tended to retaliate with more force than we threw at it.
If your rocket didn't break it, you might've gotten us all nuked.

[thebeastwithout]

and then we wouldn't be worried about the dome anymore!
problem solved both ways

[notyourutopian]

I have to say as far as solutions go.
It's certainly very

Final.

[thebeastwithout]

that's me
never come up with solutions that don't completely and totally solve the problem or else you're just wasting time!!

[notyourutopian]

But if no one survives to witness your solution...

You can't really know if it actually worked.

[thebeastwithout]

if i never know if it worked no one can ever prove to me that it didn't

[notyourutopian]

But you'll be too dead to tell everyone you were right.

[thebeastwithout]

oh crap

shoot you're right

darnit

don't blow these holes in my plans man

[notyourutopian]

If you come up with better plans
I won't have to pop them.

[thebeastwithout]

new plan:
clone myself
hide clone in underground bunker
nuke the dome

clone can yell at everyone 'told ya so' for me

perfect

[notyourutopian]

So now the clone gets to bask in all the praise YOU earned?

[thebeastwithout]

hey it's cool i'm not selfish i'm ready to let me take the glory

[notyourutopian]

Right.
But your clone isn't you.

It might look like you and act like you.
But it's not

You would be dead.

[thebeastwithout]

fine whatever sheesh
i'll invent a brain swap machine after the cloning machine
use it right before the nuke hits
bam

[notyourutopian]

Hm.
I wonder if killing your own clone is murder.

[thebeastwithout]

ok wow
i'm not coming up with any more great plans for you
if you're gonna be this picky you're on your own

gonna take my rocket launcher and play with it myself

[notyourutopian]

That's fair.
You are going to film yourself doing that right?

[thebeastwithout]

no?
i've only got two hands man
one to hold the launcher one to pull the trigger

sheesh lower those expectations

[notyourutopian]

You can hardly blame me for hoping to be entertained.

[thebeastwithout]

yeah well that's what youtube is for
i'm sure you can find a video of someone blowing something up
i find tons all the time

[notyourutopian]

Yeah but it's better if you know the people involved!
Far more exciting.

[thebeastwithout]

does it count as knowing each other if we've only talked once for 5 minutes
maybe you can pm them
then you can get to know them and then watch them blow up
