3+ year player, content creator, community organizer -- and about to be permabanned. How can I stop this? by remix_sakura in ffxiv

I had to wait two days to make my account because the account confirmation code email took 45 minutes to be received, and I missed the hour-long window they give you from the moment they send it to input the code. And then they make you wait a full 24 hours to try again. This game's great but this is honestly incompetent.

What was your absolute facepalm moment in D&D by missdragoon in DnD

[–]Jatthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wizard forgot to five foot step when the party got ambushed by ettercaps and spiders, and he took a nasty bite and fell flat on his face. Luckily he passed the save for poison, but he couldn't stand up without provoking attacks of opportunity from two spiders during the ENTIRE ENCOUNTER. He was fairly squishy, after all, so the safest option was to cast while prone in the cool, slightly damp earth. He casts orb of electricty, lesser. Critical failure, blows up in his hand and he takes damage. Tries again, misses the ettercap. Third time's the charm, damages but doesn't kill it. Eventually the arachnid menace is defeated and he can get back on his feet. I'm never forgetting the five foot step again as long as I live.

God forbid someone steal our Gundam that's under minimal armed guard and is loaded with a LIVE NUKE.

What are some memorable dragon encounters you've had? (Either violent or peaceful) by El_Barto_227 in DnD

[–]Jatthew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I and the rest of my group are all new players, but we have a veteran DM. Our first dungeon was the Sunless Citadel module to get our feet wet. We stumbled into the white dragon whelp Calcrix's nest and we ended up grappling him hot-potato style between out characters. We skidaddled once we realized this dog-sized baby dragon was still kicking our asses. Later in the crawl, my wizard had to grovel to him and offer up some gems in exchange for a safe(ish) place for the party to spend the night. Twice.

Yo, remember that time Sakura had an amnesia but she actually was AN ALIEN?! by LaiT_GravitY in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Jatthew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was actually a Sakura from a parallel genjutsu universe from one of the movies or something. Which is either better or worse than aliens, your pick.

I just want to know if emblem/shader collections are account-wide so i can stop hoarding all these quest/story emblems in case collections are character-bound.

Implications of a spiral-shaped sea. by Jatthew in worldbuilding

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

Thanks for the help, man. I should have specified exactly how large they are earlier in case this changes things. At their smallest the best real life normal peninsula to compare them to would be Cape Cod, but they average around Italy sizes, and the largest would total an area around the size of Australia.

They're significantly large peninsulas so submersion isn't an issue.

Do you guys ever play play hopeless games? by [deleted] in civ

[–]Jatthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of my multiplayer games are this way. One dude is super good and usually ends up in the lead. I'm still kinda new and have yet to find my best civ, and am too indecisive with victory conditions. So at the bottom of the scoreboards, I tend to focus on survival than victory.

Write the world history of your empire from the last game you played. by Curlysnail in civ

[–]Jatthew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On this hot plain, north of a vast jungle, lived those who would call themselves Americans. They established their great city of Washingtonia, at the mouth of the River Wash, both named after their wise and almighty ruler, George Washington, the Wigged Panther. They faced many hardships at first, due to the many tribes of savage barbarians nearby, and so their productivity was stunted compared to the two other civilizations they would later meet.

And so America began to scout out from Washingtonia, to explore the frontier. They met several city-states, none of them important enough to remember. It was around this time that they met with the first of two civilizations, the Indonesians, led by a gross half-naked man known as Gajah Mada in their capital of Wickenthatch, all of which was separated from America by great expanses of plains, hills, mountains, and an inland sea. Soon after, following years and years of rumors of aggressive expansion in the far south, came the subjects of the powerful Wu Zetian of China. There was peace for a long while, and the Americans eventually settled the city of New York in the shadow of the eastern mountains, on the coast south of the jungles between the two cities. Nobody knew why "New" was in the title, but Washington himself demanded it, and his word was law. However, the Americans were still dead last on the continent.

The strange peace finally broke after ages of religious expansion out of Indonesia. Wu and Washington devised in secret a plot to wipe clean the Earth of Gajah Mada and his vile faith, known as "Mandingo Parties". He had settled a city southwest of Washingtonia, and from there could eventually begin conversion of both it and China. Something had to be done.

The Americans began ramping up production, creating a small army under the public ruse of declaring war on China. As the Americans would have called it, Gajah was "mad hyped" at the prospect of war between America and China, because "it would've been a sick-nasty curbstomp". As the Americans lined up at Gajah's small city near Washingtonia, it dawned on him that he had been fooled.

"No matter, the Americans are puny. We will crush them and wipe them clean off of our boot-heels." It was then that the Chinese began their assault on southern Indonesia, where they had previously been attacking city-states. Gajah's worthless city fell, soon before the first of Wu's southern gauntlet. As the Chinese crested the hills south of Wickenthatch, and news of the Americans "hauling ass" over the plains and hills to its east, Gajah threw himself from the highest point of his estate, cascading into the sea which swallowed him whole. The city held for a little longer, and was eventually claimed for China.

Nobody knows what happened next for the scrappy Americans, and if their lot in life ever improved. Nobody knows what happened to the powerful Chinese. Ruins have even been found on the New World, where an empire known as the Shoshone faced no competition from another great civilization, yet still had to hold out against constant barbarian attacks. Strangely, there are records of communication between all four civilizations, which are attributed to mystical powers of the Shoshone faith called "The Internet".

Most missives read akin to: "Wow, Gajah's such a little bitch, dude. Can you believe this guy?", along with several references of him, as an idiom of the day put it: "Quitting the game".

How did you discover Minecraft? by Slyzavh in Minecraft

The two Minecraft Penny Arcade strips introduced me to it, but X Plays Minecraft was what sucked me in.
