Too Subtle 2015-04-09

[Jabberwonky]

I'm gonna reiterate my feelings that Jin's tongue is sharper and more dangerous than anything physical she might do. She's had a lot of time to practice such things...

[zachariah]

INCOMING!!!

While the thought is in the right place I don't think it quiet fits. While Jin has a nice set of artillery she has not launched a barrage yet. She is planning on reactive fire, not an opening barrage.

I suspected she would be wearing something even skimpier as I said yesterday. She is wearing a lot less than Sali wore to the beach last time so I think I am close enough. And no Jin you are not being Too Subtle. You are making a direct statement and providing all the provocation you will need to spark the desire response, especially with Sali next to you. Pickle is a nice touch as well. I was kinda hoping they might have Kathy along as well. Jin is a powerful force to have but bringing a PO's Kathy into the mix would insure no prisoners would be taken.

Another case of Sali not explaining everything to Kathy. Kathy needs to learn that teenagers are secretive by nature and getting any real information out of them requires digging for it.

If we see Sali in a skimpy two piece with lots of upper support tomorrow that would be a Friday cliffhanger!

Perhaps the yell is premature, BUT I'M DIGGING MY FOXHOLE NOW!!!

[Aleister Crow]

Aah, ok. Well, I suppose if a semi-golem such as Jin were to get involved in a physical altercation, it could provide some very interesting research material for relativity and the theory that Golems draw their strength and control the way the opposing forces interact with them using wormholes tied to the rotational inertia of the Galaxy itself.

[StephenFry]So my high-speeds are going to be there for academic purposes, you see. Of course, the one I really want is Bud, the full-golem who has been said to be the strongest of the three... But, well, baby steps, you know.[/StephenFry]

Nah, I doubt it'll become a physical altercation. Jin is being subtle.

Here's hoping Jin's subtle doesn't degenerate to this sort of subtle:

That is subtle.

It's like the sound of a monk pulling a beautiful train, isn't it?

But Maxim's "sottil" planning involved someone else losing their hat, so it was a "goot plan".

[DinkyInky]

You're in luck, Kingklash. The Confusion corner overlooks the Para Pool.

And I'm stocking the bar full of top shelf goodies...if we ain't got it, it's just a pizza teleporter away.

[Jabberwonky]

I dislike the subtle taste change from pizza teleporters, I prefer a pizza printer instead

[GlytchMeister]

Just don't teleport bread.

I talked to Doc Nickel 'bout that, but anybody who will eat deep fried walrus liver just isn't worried about that sort of thing... besides, I'm stocking the confusion corner with goodies from a kosher deli- nobody will be disappointed

You either heard it or were told by one who did- which is it?

[GlytchMeister]

.... am I missing anything?

3 M40A5 's, 3 ghillie suits. Enough ammo. Snipin's a good job, mate!

I recall snipers being described as "combat multipliers." Not entirely sure what that means, but I'm guessing it's good. I think it basically means a good sniper can multiply the combat capabilities of their team.

[BOOM] It's like Christmas Mornin'.

[meisdadoo]

Time to be subtle?

Nope it is time to get the pig!

[as363]

What about a Bazooka launcher with Titanium tips and a 12 lb.load of C-4. Make sure there is a 3 second delay . That would give the ladies time to teleport it away. Of course the unofficial hand-written manual from a Delta Force 6 member does not mention teleporting. . But it does mention ladies - and places where very nasty sharp items reside . (Check before trying anything.)

No... the hardware is only in case the malstrom comes waltzing in MY direction. I have SEEN what Jin is capable of... OK, WAS capable of... but Atsali will be there, ready to fire up in a moment's notice, I'm not sure what other support might be warrented and have NO CLUE as to the capacities of Her Ladyship Complainsalot... it is posible that .308 as a sniper round will prove inadequate here anyway, I simply want a deterrent to any mobile Grand Mele should it find my direction.

"Combat multipliers" are anything that creates an effect disproportionate to the effort involved. A single sniper team can immobilize a unit on the move, close operation of a camp, stop an enemy advance or disrupt enemy defences... the list goes on. It is a fine dance that I am remarkably familiar with- 97% effective at 1km. Not for the squeemish. A good commander learns to understand the capacities of his sniper teams and use them wisely.

but will atsali be wearing THIS???


or even this!!!

[sheik]

My only suggestion for Sgt. Howard is he should consider upgrading his shelter rather than resort to ordnance.
Shooting at this crew will only p***'em off.
Considering who may show up at the party, may I suggest something that will handle the overpressures developed by your typical tactical nuke.

In truth, you strategy actually makes more sense for the reasons stated... but there HAD to be some gratuitous gun and blast porn, simply because of who I am... I think I will forego the firepower and rely on something to mix with the tequila...

Holy Crap! I might (might) just be talked into playing Skyrim.
