Welcome, newcomer! Please, have a complimentary walnut! Don't worry, they aren't diseased, nor have they been tampered with in any way.

Ahh, Redwall and Tamora Pierce, I think we'll get along just fine (Veil Sixclaw fan here).

Anyway, I just got back from a 30-mile backpack trip that turned into a 35-mile backpack trip due to deceiving trail signs and an annoying detour, and I thought I'd say hello to the new kid. I gift you a sock full of rocks and a weighted companion cube (don't worry, it will never threaten to stab you!). I'm sure you'll find use for them. My agents would also love to greet you. Say hello to the new recruit, you two!

Adder: Hi, new best friend!

Deuce: Harumph.

But there's a pond between me and England. A pond about 4000 meters deep and 3000 kilometers wide. And I don't have a raft.

I just don't like them together.

Would you be willing to cowrite my first one with me? :D

-hopefulface-

Actually, having gleaned what I can from the tiny, tiny preview screen, I still think FATAL is worse. I mean, Black Tokyo is all kinds of wrong, and has some pretty screwy mods ("Phallic spear" with 350 ft reach? WTF?), but FATAL was just badly conceived to begin with. At least Black Tokyo doesn't seem to take itself seriously. The guys at FATAL do.

Ahh, FATAL.I think it actually outstrips Celebrian in terms of sheer horror. I've actually read some of the manual, and it's a nightmare, in every imaginable respect.

Turns out there's an important family party on the Saturday evening, which I cannot miss on pain of being dismembered by outraged grandmother. This means I'll only be available for either the Saturday morning (so I can catch a train back in time) or Sunday after late-ish morning depending on train timetables. Which time would be more convenient for everyone else who's going?

(BTW, if we make the Natural History Museum, someone has to bring along a cardboard cutout chainsaw and put it on the statue of Darwin for a photo op. See here for why.)

I started out with two Agents and planned two more. I then rescued three in my first two missions, and spontaneously created about fifteen more over the past four or five months, whom I still need to write missions/publish interludes for - both solo and paired up.

Not to mention that I've got at least one planned co-write with two other people, and probably more if the negotiations dont fall through.

...I was going somewhere with this, I swear... Oh, yeah. Basically, partner up your Agents as you please, co-write as you please, etc. There are no rules about how Agents work, and there are occasional teams of PPC writers - for example, as others have said, Jay and Acacia themselves, and Trojie and Pads. Others have teamed up on occasion, too - I recall Rilwen and Lycaenion doing a piece a while back, and I seem to end up co-writing a lot of interludes for my gang with Kgarrett.

Okay, rambly rambling ending now.

The mini's yours.

I keep meaning to have one of my Agents meet up with a DoSAT person at some point - Agent Nat Freidar, who's actually rather gifted with electronics. Narcolepsy seems like fun. :P

That's the purchase screen. And if you want to see some examples, the heroic fa/tg/uys on 4chan's /tg/ did an assessment of the thing a while back.

Be warned: this thing is most DEFINITELY NSFW. And also NSFB. The fa/tg/uy snarking helps, but it still hurts.

And many happy returns.

Are you sure? I have never heard of this Black Tokyo.

You could always create a few more agents yourself.

I started out with one agent, and I have four now. I still like my first agent couple the best. They have excellent chemisty. Or it could just be that the fandoms I've put the other agents in are just not that exciting to write missions about.

*tacklehugs, drags out from under rock* Come on! Presents! A sack of pebbles, your own customised sling and a basket of Bleeprin-berries!

And a party!

I gift you with a sack of pebbles, your very own sling and a baske of Bleeprin-berries!

Happy Birthday! I trust it were a good one!

*starts rock hunting*

It's a legendary ordeal on /tg/. But even worse is Black Tokyo, which is similar yet with about half as much again the potency.

I think I have this Robe od Redudnancy... I didn't know what this thing was, but now I know. And I rolled a 10, lol.
You didn't notice me talking about tall ships again and again? :D

The Robe of Redundancy causes the wearer to talk constantly about whatever topic they find most interesting and repeat every sentence 1d10 times. I could only think "Hey, I do that anyway, and I don't need a magical item to do it!" I should probably have been offended, but that was about the only potentially-offensive item of which I'm pretty sure the writer didn't notice the potential offense, so all I could do was laugh.

... when I think dirty poetry I tend to think of "Poetic Orgy" - the one from Yiffstar. You'll get what I mean if I say that only one of those words was accurate.

Have an extra-large floofy red panda plush.
