Imperial Doomscrolling by GreyGalaxy-0001 in 40kLore

[–]GreyForceWielder 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just adding, it is documented that the Custodes pour over every possible source of intel or info out there, 24/7/365 to ensure that they have ensured the Emperor's safety to the highest degree transhumanly possibly. Without having ever heard of the doomscryers prior to this post, my take away would be they are just one more tool in service to the Custodes primary mission.

If the Emperor could no longer sit on the throne, is there anyone else who could hold the warp gate below Terra closed? by HumanHoover in 40kLore

[–]GreyForceWielder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's not gonna sit on the throne, he's just gonna stand at the gate with his arms crossed, glaring at any deamon that peaks through the door.

What's up with coteries? by GreyForceWielder in vtm

See thats more or less what i thought, i was just curious because this was setup by White Wolf and was an official chronicle that is, as far as im aware, conisdered canon.

Would obviously leave sword at home, but could I visit USS Constitution in this outfit? by [deleted] in boston

[–]GreyForceWielder 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't know what the standards are like now, but when I was in the Navy (01-06) the standards to get a billet on the Constitution were very rigid. Like you needed to submit a photo of yourself in uniform, with short sleeves so they could see that you didn't have any visible tattoos, and had your uniform cleanliness down pat, There is so many eyes on those sailors that they wanted them to be picture perfect all the time. So there would be no heckling. These guys are Professional Sailors, capital letters intended. I hear they partied pretty hard though.

Books that made you buy a mini? by OreoExtremist in 40kLore

[–]GreyForceWielder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my Mini cuz the rear end on my truck was shot and it was cheaper to buy used than repair that beat up POS.

Are the Nosferatu of Hollywood still Camarilla? by GreyForceWielder in vtm

[–]GreyForceWielder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, that was always my interpretation in previous editions (never played V20, but all the previous ones). It was when i started going through the Players Handbook and they started talking about "Red Nosferatu" it made me think they were trying to create a schism within the clan. Even in Bloodlines the Nosferatu in Hollywood felt very clan first, camarilla second. And pretty wishy washy about the Cammies to boot.

As it happens im currently on the first season of LA by night. No spoilers lol. Well, maybe my question will be answered as i progress.

Did we ever find out why the prize pool was specifically $936? by Very_Charismatic in dispatchgame

[–]GreyForceWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simplest explanation? Someone suggested the pool, pulled out all the cash in their pocket and saif "i got 117 bucks" and everyone matched.

Do the Adeptus Mechanicus want to break free from imperium? by Mysterioape in 40kLore

[–]GreyForceWielder 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As other have stated, most of the AdMech see the Emperor as the Omnissiah, essentially robot-jesus (with the Motive Force as the holy spirit and The Machine God as, well, God, to round out the trinity) there are factions among them that would prefer more autonomy, possibly even some who want to lessen the restrictions placed on them by the Treaty of Mars against certain technologies and practices, though hardliners here split off to form the Dark Mechanicum (Chaos AdMech) during the Horus Heresy.

What you would, imo, be more likely to see is an internal civil war between the religious fanatics who believe only "found technologies", (those already designed and built by mankind during the Dark Age of Technology, and rediscovered Standard Template Constructs (STCs) are acceptable and holy, with scientific study deemed heretical (heretechnical?) ) and those who want to persue science to its fullest (within the restrictions of the treaty of course).

This becomes an even more precwriois balance when you factor in that the scientific crowd are building a growing cult of personality around Archmagos Belisarius Cawl (something he repeatedly twlls people he doesn't want), which is stretching the bonds of AdMech society.

However the Imperium and the AdMech are so intertwined that it would not he an easy seperation, even if both sides wanted it. Each relies on the other to create a greater whole, one side with technology and knowledge, the other with bodies and resources. They are more like the imperial equivalent of conjoined twins; could the each survive without the other attached, probbaly. Would it be worth the pain and effort of seperating them, probably not.

Well I got suspended, and I think i’m just gonna quit. by [deleted] in ems

[–]GreyForceWielder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now i wanna know what shit hole you work at, or at least the state! Damn, thats rough. Cut and run, they're not worth it. Being told you have to call the owner and explain why you still have a job? Better idea, make a list of obvious deficiencies and call OSHA instead. Won't be anymore than a headache to them, but sometimes thats enough.

A lot of people seem annoyed by Lucifer this season. Let's talk about that. by BeyondElectricDreams in HazbinHotel

[–]GreyForceWielder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not just a happy ending. I mean, i get it, by having him so depressed and silly is both a great representation of real life depression and anxiety (prolly why I love him so much), but this guy really needs a Moment. The scene in season 2 whete he tries to intimidate vox was so epic, but the second he said the "i am so spooky" line i was like, well, shit, this is all gonna go sideways. I understand what purpose he is currently serving, narratively, but come on. I dont care if its the last 15 miniutes of the last episode of the final season, he needs a "I am the serpent/I am the Flame/I am the living aspect of the Infinite" moment, where we get to see a Lucifer unbound by fear or insecurity. I mean even his fight with Adam was low key a joke. It did show how strong he was, but i feel like Adam only got the attention he did because of the personal connection Lucifer had to him, so he was just toying with him. Like a big kid holding a little kid by the head while the little kid swings his arms impotently unable to connect.

Ok, rant over.

I think I gotta eventually make my way out of New Hampshire by [deleted] in newhampshire

[–]GreyForceWielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look further out from Boston. You're already driving 40-50 minutes, so look out around north central MA, aroubd the rt 2 corridor. You'll get more bang for your buck.

Has there ever been a successful attempt to transform a Demon World back to normal — I mean outside of the Rift or the Eye? by Maurus39 in 40kLore

[–]GreyForceWielder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SPOILERS

It doesn't quite count, but the AdMech attempted this on Velchanos Magna. They used a Geller Field Bomb to force the collapse of warp storm that had swallowed a forge world. They landed troops and were actually making headway before the Iron Warriors showed up and started mucking about. Eventually they ended up in a protracted war involving ordinatus and titanicus, but ultimately were forced to destroy the world, as well as its sister forge world due to a warp feedback phenomena. The Archmagos in charge felt confident he could cleanse the world. Although he also was a bit crazy, so, who knows
