April 2, 2013: Altsplatnations 4!

Post by T-RexWithTourettes » Tue Apr 02, 2013 2:50 pm

So, does anyone else want to try out a female-dward-beard-coat? If cat pelt isn't your thing?

Cats huh. They may be cool and all but nothing outshines the Pegamoose (ask Arch Lich Burns) ;)

I thought it was revealing that reality 51's Kin is also looking for the Jade Teapot. This seems to contradict any theories that the items are items sought after by those from realities, or that the items were left behind, unless there are two jade teapots.

Cat reality seems like hell! Also, Female Dwarf beards are terrifyingly erotic. I feel dirty just looking at her dwarf beard.

Am I the only one that is vaguely disturbed by the "microscopic, virus-like cats"? The mental picture of thousands of miniature kittens gallavanting through the bloodstream, playing with red blood cells like demented balls of string, is absolutely terrifying, much on par with KinSlayer's attack from the last page. Or is it just me?
....Okay, so it is just me then... :shrug:

I finally stopped being lazy and re-registered because of the recent epicness of Minmax, and this was the lockbreaker. It seems that even when Minmax is intelligent he's still an idiot lol.

I suppose that with hundreds of assorted MinMax', Forgaths, Kins, and Goblins, there were at least two Jade Teapots - I imagine that the two merged. Actually, I wonder...if you took treasure from everyone, but only gave a fraction back tons of times, but they're the same fraction... the maker of the Maze must be very rich indeed. Each winner is happy because they get treasure, but in reality (heh), the original thief wins out.

It' be really fun to play a character with ailurophobia (fear of cats) in reality 131.

Also, I wonder how far the moroni-Kin got in the maze...

Cat reality is hilarious! Also, what would such amount of cats possibly feed on? Cats?

Funny. I love the Cat reality...so disturbing.

And we come right back around to "See!? Forgath's beard should not have been covering his skin in the previously bald spot when they were looking down at the battle!" The hair's supposed to grow slowly!

As for 131... Well, I hope the guys get to experience the wonder of a feline-less dungeon for a few more go-rounds. :roll:

This is the second comic I've read in the last week to provide an alternate timeline involving microscopic cats. Coincidence? Or providence?

Is reality 131 the Dwarf Fortress reality? I know my forts are always full of stockpiles of cat leather, cat stew and cat bone crossbow bolts...

Or how about microscopic cats that live in the follicles of your eyelashes and come out at night to eat, poop, and reproduce on your face before retreating back into the follicles?

I suspect Dies Horribly's name in Cat reality is "Kibble" or "Catnip" or somesuch...

I like the cat reality. It explains why Minmax was running around with cat heads on his armor. He isn't the killer of peoples pets, he's a killer of peoples pests. Really he's performing a public service.

Dear Thunt,
Thank you for Reality 131. I wasn't going to re-register for the message board until I was absolutely sure it was permanent this time... but yeah, that was just too awesome. Thank you.

We're happy to have you here. Well, the dog people are happy to have you here. The cat people might not be so happy. :P

Not even, I bet he just picked them up in a shop. All armor is made of cats. I do like to believe that he casually slaughters the dungeon cats as he goes, though.

...How many cats would you have to kill to get anywhere as an adventurer? I'd imagine most dungeon treks are painfully boring, leveling up being equally agonizingly slow...

Cats! Cats! Cats! bahahaha.

I really like that Forgirl took Kin under her wing. I thought that was a really sweet touch to that reality. Although with Forgirl is travelling with Wizmax is beyond me!

That is utterly horrifying. :paranoia:
Especially as I am allergic to cats.

To be back on topic, has anyone noticed that while Thunt says that female dwarves do not have neck-beards, WizMax appears to? I'd bet his isn't nearly so silky as ForGirl's.

Certainly, it is. As anyone who's ever looked at a personal item with a microscope will know, here there be MONSTERS. But at least they aren't cats.
