So, the main cannon w/ arm may take awhile. Let's model it off of the Master Chair Gun, shall we?

It just occured to me that I never posted stats for this character. So I went back through the first few pages (Oh man so much effort put in here) and saw that stats seem to be decided by the GM for the most part (Am I correct? Throw me a bone here, I am known for my constant need of reassurance). As I am uncertain on these things, I will probably not try anything until the next round.
But that is the thing about Pandemonium: You never know when it is coming. IT JUST DOES.

I know that all these NPCs don't pose a threat to me, but I got a little bit carried away at the sounds of pain. What I may never know is the place of the maze, where I would have erased some fricken fairies from space; I neglected to ask before I killed the last dairy farmer who knew. I wish I had waited for you; I wish I could invoke some better part of me! I know I'm supposed to be all, "The One," but I have too much fun killing everyone.

Some say that evil lurks in the dark. Others say the night is sacred. Which of these groups is right, I know not, but that is irrelevant. All we need to know is one thing, one special fact of reality. And that fact is that Xandersol has entered the Battlefield.
I will now proceed to utterly fail at playing this game.
Allright, I think editting this post 4 times is enough. I'll stop doing that now. [/nullpost]
Don't worry. I've edited a single post like 10 times before.
What are we going to do with the post limit? I have reasons why it should stay and why it should go. But first, let me tell you why it was implemented in the first place.
I implemented the post limit because back in the days of yore, everyone was posting too fast. And I mean very fast. So, I wanted to make it so that I wouldn't have to contend with a 4-page turn every day. So I brought it in.
The problem is that it is very inconsistent. There's no global count of posts; there are nullposts which people might incorrectly count; some people might not realize; and others just don't care. And I am very concerned about this.
The GOOD thing about the post limit is that when it does its job, it does it well.
The bad THINGS about it are:
It traps posters into a mentality that only a set number of posts are allowed, so they rush to try to fit their posts in (which completely defeats the entire point of the limit, traps the game in a specific mentality that was not intended, and is the single worst reason of the limit.)
It has created dozens of wasted posts and pages that are just taking up space.
It has proved to screw over players in other time zones.
etc. ad infinitum.
So as you can see, those are a few more reasons than just one. In fact, the first point is singlehandedly the worst reason because it makes the post limit hypocritical, redundant, and unwanted. It is creating the very thing it is supposed to stop.
HOWEVER
It is entirely possible that the reason posts are going so fast is because of the sheer fanbase this thread has acquired, and just because people don't listen to my countless pleas.
That actually makes a lot of sense and explains my previous posting frenzy. I do feel like if I don't get my posts in, then that's it, so I've got to get in as many as possible. Right? That's how I feel (I'm now aware of my borderline spamming. Sorry).
"With the post limit removed, there would be no need to wait for Twin to post before being able to, say, deploy a 40-charge hyper-powerful hostile entity."
Why.
Why would you do that.
"Ssh. Only watch now."
Hey look! That Creepy Dummy just met a Dumb Creeper! I wonder whether their talking or fighting...
> Dialog Spoiler:
Dumb Creeper: Hi, how are you, you strange thing? Creepy Dummy: I'm doing fine. Just being here for da Godmodder. Dumb Creeper: The Godmodder? Creepy Dummy: Ya. The Godmodder. That way cool guy over there! *Points* Dumb Creeper: You mean that floating evil looking fat guy? Creepy Dummy: You could... say.. that..... Dumb Creeper: Looks like a nice meal for tonight *Licks mouths* Creepy Dummy: You won't be eating him tonight if I have anything to do with it!! Dumb Creeper: Orly? Creepy Dummy: Yep. You have to fight me first. Dumb Creeper: Dis will be easy.. Creepy Dummy: We'll see about that... Dumb Creeper: sssSSSssssSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..
We all know the outcome!
I start on something!
Something (1/?)
About the vote thing, I think it should still stay however because if it ISN'T there, then there most likely will be like 5 pages of posts between each of Twin's posts... Because with the post limit, we see like 20 posts only 3-6 hours after Twin finishes. There are ~23 hours between each of Twin's posts and yet we, the players, use up half the posts in 1/4 the time.. I vote NO simply because I think there will be a lot of spam going on if we don't have a post limit. And Twin, I know that it takes you like an hour to complete your Turn Posting, and with all these other spammy posts, it will probably take you double the time, 2 hours!! So for the sake of no spam, and no TwinBuilder stress, I vote NO.
