Project THOR is the concept of kinetic bombardment. A satellite or ship is placed into orbit, whereby it releases massive aerodynamic weights. Said weights are non-electronic nor explosive. Their destructive power comes from the sheer force they generate upon impact. They are essentially weaponized meteors.
the correct censor, if I understand correctly, is "GORILLA".

My game. I reckon it's gonna be a big one@engie: DUDE, LANGUAGE..
@Duck: Thanks for spoiling it...
@everyone: I think we've completely derailed the thread. Back on topic, I'm spending my time wisely and looking up thing we can use to cause damage.
So far, the Tsar Bomb is too big, and chemical weapons won't work with this many players in the fold.
I'm thinking railguns, but I'm only looking at scientific stuff.
What I think should happen, is that each of ya'll should pick 3-4 specific franchises of stuff you know very well, ransack the wikis for stuff you know how to work and use, and then use them.
Some of us can go completely random, and that's fine. Randomness works.

I am the once and future king.Yes, I am aware most people use gorilla. But I'm not most people. So, y'know.
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.Well, I know kinetic bombardment, but also massive overkill bombs {Tsar Bomba^11}, hyperincendiaries, Exterminatus tactics, the whole strap-cheap-chemical-rockets-to-a-large-moon-and-use-it-as-a-projectile thing, and the general idea of starting self-sustaining fusion reactions in the atmosphere via huge energy release. Which would you like me to try?

So I ended up GM-ing a thing, oops; http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=149024.870I'm currently at 12/20 and 11/20 for something that might help defeat the godmodder once and for all, but I'm gonna need charges if I can manage it before the final countdown hits...
My game. I reckon it's gonna be a big oneI'm pretty sure he teleported to me when he shot the thing at the Eye, kek. But I do regret posting that, some things irl were making me feel like crap. So that probably affected me.
@strategy Ok I never figured a discussion about chemistry would happen but this still doesn't answer my original question: What is the name of an organ used for a breath attack? I kinda want to know so I can just use that name instead of typing out the above. I love the chemistry stuff but my rp character doesn't know anything about chemistry and instead will be throwing a volatile bomb made up of elerium into it

Always trust a guy who says when he'll betray you.@Laitome: For an actual name of the bladder, I have no idea. You could technically name it whatever you want, depending on the type of dragon.here.
The opinions of creation scientists differ as to whether or not fire-breathing dragons could have existed. Currently, of course, no known fire-breathing animals exist, but fire-breathing dragons appear in legends from so many cultures, that many think these legends may be based on actual creatures. Many creation scientists note the similarities between the descriptions of dragons and the characteristics of dinosaurs. If a dinosaur once existed that could breathe fire, this would account for many of the stories of fire-breathing dragons. The Leviathan may have been such a creature, although the Bible does not call it a dinosaur. Actually, the word dinosaur was not invented until 1841, so people before then would have called dinosaurs by other names[23]. A writer at Creation Worldview Ministries puts forth one potential method by which dinosaurs may actually have breathed fire. According to this author, dragons could have used methane gas to fuel their fire breath. When mammals consume plants, the digestion of this plant matter produces flammable methane gas in their intestines. The same process could have occurred in dragons, even in sea-dragons if they consumed things like kelp, and they might have stored this methane in some kind of special bladder or chamber until they needed to breathe fire. This methane gas could be easily ignited in several ways. Some theorize that this spark could come from steel-tipped teeth clicking together, or from electrical sparks produced using mechanisms similar to those found in an electric eel. A chemical, such as arsene gas (As H 3) or diphosphane gas (P 2 H 4), could also have been used to ignite the methane. Many animals already produce these chemicals in their bodies to some degree[21]. It has been noted that the skulls of many dinosaurs had large empty cavities. These cavities may have been used to enhance the dinosaurs' sense of smell or to increase their vocal resonance. However, fossils do not show things such as internal secretions or glands that may have existed inside such cavities. The Parasaurolophus (“Crested Lizard"), for example, had a large crest on its head, which extended from its nostrils over the back of its neck. Inside this crest, there were large nasal cavities[21]. It is possible that chemicals could have been combined in these cavities and then sprayed from the Parasaurolophus's nostrils. Upon exposure to oxygen, these chemicals would ignite and form a stream of fire[24]. Peter Booker, a writer for the Journal of Creation (previously TJ), proposes another potential fire-breathing dinosaur. Based on the description of the Leviathan in Job chapter 41, Booker suggests that this creature might correspond to the dinosaur known as Sarcosuchus imperator, or the Super Croc. This ancient reptile fits with the biblical description much better than other candidates such as the modern-day crocodile, and it may have even been able to breathe fire. The Super Croc, discovered in 1966, was described in a 2001 National Geographic article as having scales like "an impenetrable shield" and jaws "armed with a deadly row of enlarged incisors" (qtd. in Booker 15). In addition, Sarcosuchus reached up to 40 feet in length and weighed as much as 10 tons. This certainly matches the description of the fearsome Leviathan in Job. Most interestingly, the Super Croc had what National Geographic described an an "enormous cavity under the nostrils" (qtd. in Booker 15). Scientists thought that this cavity might have contributed to the dinosaur's sense of smell or vocal quality, but the true purpose remains unknown. Perhaps this cavity belonged to part of a biological mechanism that allowed the Super Croc to breathe fire, possibly by mixing chemicals in much the same way that the bombarier beetle does[25]. The book Dragons of the Deep by Carl Wieland also asserts that Sarcosuchus may have been the Leviathan. Wieland notes the formidable qualities of Sarcosuchus, such as its thick scales, each of which reached about a foot in length, or its terrible jaws, which held over 100 teeth. Wieland speculates that the cavity in Sarcochusus's nose, called a "bulla", may have been part of a fire-breathing mechanism. Wieland also notes that, if Sarcosuchus was the Leviathan, then it must have been alive after the Flood in order for Job to be familiar with it[26]. Another possibility is raised by the descriptions of the St. Leonard's Forest, Sussex, England dragon of 1614: "One of the locals set his two mastiffs onto the monster, and apart from losing his dogs he was fortunate to escape alive from the encounter, for the dragon was already credited with the deaths of a man and woman at whom it had spat and who consequently had been killed by its venom."[27] Corrosive venom fired from sacs in the creatures mouth, much like that of venomous snakes, that burned and produced smoke and even fire where it landed, could account for dragons' reputations for 'breathing fire'.
The darkness changes.
“So I’m supposed to go back down there and save their butts from the godmodder again? Haven’t I done enough?”
“ Well no. The godmodder is going to continue this battle until either Tv Tropes is gone, or we crush him enough to give in. And if Tv T goes, so do you.”
He sighs. “Ok. I guess I’ll help. This magically door way,” He gestures to a brown door, barely recognisable in the dark. “this’ll lead to them? And allow you to see through my eyes, right?”
“ Yeah, somewhere around the battlefield. But we won’t be able to communicate. Unless the fourth wall breaks.”
“RNG forbid.”
He charges towards the door and leaps.
I begin plummeting towards the castle, a stupidly high amount above the battlefield.
“Oh damn it. Forgot to bring landing gear. Ah well.”
Whelp, I'm back.

Wait! ... Ok, you can go now.quite the lull huh. I hear that you've been having a "civil war" of sorts before I showed up. Just what were Wyld's and Sacred's Casus belli ? and how did it end?
The names of the electrical charges really ought to be swapped. It is just DUMB that the place with MORE electrons is NEGATIVELY charged.Something to do with how they wanted stuff done and lead. I'm still not entirely sure they're over it.
I was crafting stuff and building artifacts when they went to war. I didn't pay attention much.
I am the once and future king.Sorry, I was gone for a few days, I think. Well, why is everyone flipping out? Something happen? I need instructions and a mission briefing!
@Paradise DJ: Wyld and Sacred/Unity had a fight in-character, and a while later it escalated into a war. Wyld summoned a 425-post fortress, and Team Unity was defeated by Jindra, who bombarded Team Unity's castle with the Delphinus, despite being Neutral in the war.
So basically, 2 side had a fight, 1 side was stomping and then got additional roflstomp power.
@DJ Yeah it was kind of a curb stomp even with GM assistance. I mean i summoned a fifty post glass cannon that only managed to attack once before being assassinated while it was still inside my fort. By the way said fort is still alive, well actually, not any more. Its totally screwed. It was nice while it lasted. incharacter me and sacred still haven't really met after the whole thing ended except for a brief moment, so something still COULD happen.
@sacred things are happening sacred, very chaotic things.
@herobrine I have 'custom attacks' semi planned out, I'm disturbingly creative when it comes to an 'anything is allowed, just pick something' scenario.

[Click this link, and all your questions will be answered for a price...That is a lot more nullposts than I expected.
@duck: well, its already been verified that by some time shortly after this conflict, he has been ascended, so there's that much. Out-of-universe, the second GM has already been chosen.
@engie: Nice, although I'd like to say that it is not necessary to list the weaponry, as I'm not going to let the supernova stick around for too long. Also, watch your language.
@laitome: That is assuming you'll be able to burrow into its neck. You didn't get much below the skin with your sword strikes.
@duck: I don't think two 20 post charges are going to be a major setback, seeing as how the terror enderdragon just pretty much single-handedly trashed wyld's 425 post fortress.
@chemistry: The enderdragon is freaking based off java coding! Its a virtual entity, it doesn't need to have coherent organs! If it blows up, it will blow up, but it depends more on timing and how cool it'll be than scientific accuracy.
@wordless: Welcome back!
@explanation: hoo boy... A lot has happened, wordless, I'm assuming you did your reading up on things like you said you were planning on doing, paradise, if I recall correctly you left towards the end of the chase towards the vault, and sacred, you probably chose one of the worst times to leave for half a week. Wordless, if you need an explanation of prior events, just tell me at what point your knowledge of things cuts off.
Okay, paradise, as tabbune said, wyld and sacred's characters got into an ideological fight, but you were here when it first came up. Well, both of them started asking around for support and preparing for a showdown when they got back from chasing down the godmodder. Well, when everyone got back, a lot had happened so there was some pretty strange stuff on the battlefield, which, of course, everyone proceeded to blow up. Sacred handed out some various pieces of equipment (of which only one or two remain) to those who aided him, but fseftr took his artifacts and switched sides, with two of the multi-hundred entities that were on the field at that time. So even though Team Unity began out looking like they'd do well, things went downhill. All of this mainly happened because the godmodder locked himself in a castle and everyone assumed that he wouldn't be targetable, so they started shooting at each other.
The layout once the betrayal happened: wyld's 425 massive army-spawning magitek fortress of death, fseftr and two 300 post charges, one of which is probably the most overpowered for its charge amount entity in the game so far, barring of course Bill Cipher, since that was intentional by way of getting me an extra filler boss. Additionally, wyld had the elemental chainaxe, and a handful of various other small entities, including Hoopa, which was summoned to steal artifacts (although that never ended up working.) and hit things clear across the field (which did work), and a sniper that had ridiculously high damage attacks every three rounds (of which it only got two off before being murdered). In sacred's defense was about two thirds of the playerbase, a massive, enraged gyrados, a (250 post charge, right jon?) massive summon capable of spawning stupidly high numbers of interference mooks, as well as dodging attacks, the ability to spawn custom minions (of which only ichigo's ever got spawned) and then herobrine spawning the Forge (intended to create more powerful artifacts with) right next to them. In the middle was jindra, who left Delphinus outside in the middle to wait while he went in to track down the godmodder. Also, wyld was being beset by summoned monsters from his personal backstory whenever an spatial disruptions came up (you guys didn't figure it out, it was Hoopa's teleports that kept spawning those things in)
Anyways, team Unity quickly took the middle, and fseftr went off to the side as most of wyld's smaller entities got trashed in that fight. Math went to fight him, right as fseftr summoned a 300 post charge artifact and sliced math in half with it, ichigo tried to get team Unity organized (unsuccessfully) and jondanger sent the Destroyer into a suicide run straight at the fortress... after wyld summoned an area (the valley) between the middle and the far right to stop attacks of that kind. Wyld's forces stopped the Destroyer, and wyld then slammed the Destroyer back to the middle with the elemental chainaxe, and then followed it there, and spent several rounds being mostly ignored, despite practically handing the chainaxe to team unity. ichigo managed to get some troops up to the castle and assassinate the sniper before it could finish off the Destroyer... and then jondanger sent it right back into middle of wyld's fortified position in the valley as soon as it came out of its debuff-lock without even stopping to heal it back up, where it was promptly destroyed. Before wyld could start making his way down through the battlefield with the use of his now accumulated army, jindra, having met little success in the godmodder's castle, got tired of the entire thing and sent Delphinus to bombard sacred's castle. I reduced the damage from the ship so that it wouldn't go down in one shot, so as to give team Unity a chance to block it... ichigo was the only one who responded, but he was occupied in the middle, and the only forces he had in the far left were ground troops. So that was the end of it.
Sacred, the Glitch has started. I'm running out of time, but here's a basic summary. As the integrities drop, things are going to start becoming needlessly obnoxious and difficult, and you can't directly target the Glitch, instead, there are five Glitch anchors that need to be located and destroyed before player integrity drops low enough to render the game effectively unbeatable. Gcat and the grox battleship have been found, and wyld and tabbune are investigating the location of the last three.
DTG Co Labs I can haz youtubes?Ok. I think I'll go after the... I don't know, really. Can the Grox Ships be shot at with the Emerald Nova in space?
I guess what I mean to ask is if this thread ends or does the new godmodder simply appear? Also, is it a 'new' godmodder or does the same character simply reappear after an unknown time gap?

@Sacred: We have enough people going after the Grox. You're needed on the ground.
Pillow. Amperzand. We can't directly touch the glitch, because glitch-ness. We can fire on it from the ETS. I say we pull out our spacey weapons and fire at the ships.
Amp, you fire on the fighters to keep them off the ETS.
I am the once and future king.New action post since burrowing into the dragon won't work.
I retrieve Creeper's balloon which somehow makes it to me while I'm on the enderdragon's back. I take some time to attach a trigger to the elrium bomb and secure it to my power armor. I also use this moment to wrap some very strong cord around galaxia's hilt and tie it to my hip.
Realizing that digging into this thing isn't going to work I begin to carefully climb up the enderdragon's neck towards its head. When I get to the dragon's lower jaw I wait for it to finish a breath attack before going down the dragon's throat and securing myself inside of it using galaxia and by increasing the friction of my armor. Once stable inside I work my way down to the enderdragon's stomach.
