Anyways guys, this is OOC pionoplayer, all of my characters are going to have formatted text, if you want the question directed at (a) specific character(s) say who you want to ask, if no one is specified, I'll answer questions. If the answer is spoilery, then I'll say what the stuff is that I can't tell you.
Yes. I am worried about that, especially since the anchors that were supposed to prevent a temporal wipe aren't in place anymore, so we're even more vulnerable now. I don't know what to do about it yet, but I do plan on asking someone who might.
I'M MASSIVE. THE ONLY WAY I CAN TALK TO YOUR EARS IS FROM WHISPERING. i DON'T LIKE WHISPERING.
Red was always my favorite color. It (in my perspective) represented evil. When I made Maniac, I intended for him to be as close to evil as possible, yet still good. To show it, I made him mostly red, while speaking in red.

The answer would probably be along the lines of "shenanigans resulting in my Starbound character getting sucked into Minecraft" or something similarly stupid from "my" point of view. Also, sorry that I'm talking OOC, not that I bother to keep a consistent sense of character anyways.
I'm not really sure all things considered.Let's see... the first excuse coming to mind is a test of Exile Terminal tech being integrated into my ship, which I saw fit to do before going off to fight Yaldabaoth and claim immortality.
Long before I had an actual Minecraft Forums account and just lurked, I decided to look through all of the sections of the forum to see what was what. I checked the Forum Games section last and saw that, at the front page, there was a game called "DESTROY THE GODMODDER", in all caps like that. (I assume TT changed it later.) I didn't know what a godmodder was, but I thought it looked interesting, so I checked it out.
I read through all ~120 pages, and by the time I finished, I knew I was hooked. I decided I needed to make a Minecraft Forums account to post on the thing, but I waited a while before officially joining. I ended up joining right before the only official sidequest of the game, the Void Expedition. And the rest, as they say, is history. As far as I know I was the only guy to officially approach TT2000 to discuss a sequel, but I'm not too sure about that fact.
Twin, why is slightly-more-creative thinking (not bashing heads against a locally superior force, but instead going around, etc.) almost discouraged?

Weird Things Mods Say When Booting
[Client thread/INFO] [TConstruct]: Natura, what are we going to do tomorrow night?
[Client thread/INFO] [Natura]: TConstruct, we're going to take over the world!
[Client thread/INFO] [inpure|core]: Beating Minecraft's resource loading system with a shovel. Please stand by...
[Client thread/INFO] [MagicBees]: Replacing stupid-block with 'Here, have some delicious textures' ItemBlock. This is 100% normal.
Of course; Build's my main character. He IS my Minecraft avatar, after all. Granted, a lot of his character stems from him having First Guardian powers, so when DTG3 comes around, I'll need to develop him a lot more, assuming I decide to go the RP route.
@fsef(t)r: i'm ire, and no(t) ire. i(t)'s very simple. i'm curren(t)ly in (t)he never ending expanse of (c)ode. make of (t)ha(t) what you will.
@Twin: Where'd most of the plot inspiration come from? Was most of it planned out from the start?
Almost NONE of the plot was planned out from the start. All I had was the basic premise (GodCraft, the Mechs, rescuing players) and the final battle planned out. But even now, the final battle is DRASTICALLY different from what I had planned all the way back then. I knew that the crux of the game would be player input and that the plot would evolve based on that.
I obviously took heavy inspiration from Homestuck (I wasn't even planning on an Act structure, that happened when the thread went into Intermission 1), and several important items are drawn directly from FEZ. I have to say, the moment I started to realize that there would be a plot was around Zero Hour, as shortly after that was where I started getting the idea that Homestuck would play a big part in things.
So no, really nothing was planned from the start. The TIE-Hivemind happened as a direct result of the Uber/TIE war that I decided to guide to its logical conclusion, and I thought of the Witching Hour/minigame events when I realized TF2 did seasonal events. Zero Hour/all of Act 2 was thought of because of the already rampant Homestuck referencing. (Though looking back, that got way out of hand.) Developing myself as a First Guardian was thought of on the spot, and Build/Split was a result of me changing my text to red when I took damage/got angry.
Scratch's Manor was thought of while the Shatter was going on! I had originally planned for just a boss fight between Scratch when he commandeered the Narrative, but I decided to develop it into something more. All of Robomonkey's plot was thought of on the spot (I had wanted to explore individual fations but didn't exactly know how), and the entire plot of Act 3 was thought of during Scratch's Manor. Yes, you heard me right. The entire idea of "the government does something about the Godmodder" was thought of during its TV broadcasts; remember those? The only concrete ideas I had planned for A3 before then were the Black Monolith and the omnipresent Glitch.
And I didn't even plan for Project Binary or the Arrival, either! Almost all of Project Binary's conversations were thought of on the spot, but once I had developed the Arrival plot it all steamrolled from there. So yeah... A lot of this was either just thought of on the spot or evolved from player interaction. The one large plot point I thought of beforehand and DIDN'T execute immediately was the Employer. I've had him planned since the middle of Act 2, and I know exactly who he is.

Assuming this is you indirectly talking about me axing your frequent plans to interact with Earth and loophole HEX into it, I'll make this brief: there is a fine line between intelligent godmodding and blindly power-playing everything in your path, and you've crossed it. Notice how none of the other players are doing what you're doing. No one is trying to blatantly loophole characters that existed in another universe and have no business being here into the plot, and only engie and Amperz4nd interacted on Earth and that was after you did it. I made it clear that you couldn't interact on Earth SEVERAL TIMES and you kept doing it!
Just focus on what's in front of you is all I can say. Trust me, you'll get your chance to ransack Earth. But not right now.
@Chaos: Who are you anyways?
@Tempo: Why are you getting involved in Godcraft?
@Oblivion: Why are you so loud?
@Tricky: Are you more powerful than Piono, and if so, why are you working for him?
@Eric: Aren't you worried what happened to the old IUPC will just happen to the new one?
@Engie: This isn't IC, but why do you type in grey OOC?
@Maniac: Same question as above, but with red.

Hey twin, it's rare to see you on . You doing a twinpost?
just asking
I usually start posting around 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM EST, and it usually continues until 10:30 PM.
@twin: Are you planning on using Build for DTG3?

The last section is 5 letters long.
The swear word beginning with B is 5 letters long.
No, ******* is not really a swear word. It has a legitimate meaning as "a person born of parents not married to each other."
So, y'know. Things. Not trying to imply anything with this, I just keep seeing it.
