Although Elayne's a terrible pilot, so she'll be of absolutely no use. :P

Just out of interest, where is Frederick right now?

He's in his sanctuary turning a snake into a new whip.

Hey Cerulean, welcome to the bar, right when it's about to get blown to all hell! ;D

Of course, in this case it's a tad bit on the powergaming side, because it will probably kill everyone else in the bar, or at the very least disrupt everything that everyone else is doing.  

My characters are Myitt/Tara (grungy, blue jean and torn-up trench coat wearing snarky bastard of an Italian-American human-Controller, thoroughly exhausted, with bandages under her torn up jacket sleeves.  They're on Myitt's ship with Tora.) and Corliss/Michael (wearing a single piece black Yeerkish uniform, standard Imperial issue; Mike is from an industrial suburb of Liverpool, England, and he currently has a big cement-colored putty bandage plastered to the side of his bruised head.  Also exhausted.  In Temrash's ship with Terenia.)

Scinlao, bottom line:  Don't do anything that would conceivably cause the planetoid to go flying into its sun, flying into the planet it sometimes orbits, or that would KILL everyone on the planet.  Even if you flatten all the trees around the bar, what do you think that'll do to the fleshy meat bag people and their ships?  Even if you fire a giant laser beam from space to nuke half of the planetoid, what's going to happen to the rest of the people who will get nuked right along with the vampire dude?

Thanks, Myitt! It'll be good to have some kind of idea of who/what she's looking at soon.

And Scin, I'm pretty sure what everyone is pointing out is a couple things.

1: To have a weapon that powerful is, regardless of how you happen to use it, considered power gaming. It's like saying you have a laser rifle that can instantly shoot down the blade ship, but that you won't use it on anyone else. The issue isn't whether you're actively going around shooting it at everyone, it's that you have something that powerful and the only limitation you place on it/yourself is that you choose not to use it. That's like Superman's limitation being that he occasionally lets the bad guy get away. Not that there's anything wrong with being powerful, per se, but there are limitations.

2: What you're doing, flattening that much area, can't help but hurt/disrupt others outside of your immediate situation. 2A: Have you ever tried to flatten just one ant with your thumb when it's somewhat near others? You can't do it very well. 2B: What evidence do you have that it would even work? 2C: Doing that much damage will force everyone to pay attention to what you're doing, rather than allowing multiple scenes of action to take place in the same general area. Note how I had Vanessa yelling over the com randomly, and let other people decide if they heard her. And if no one had helped, as I said, I would have had her barely manage to land the thing without wrecking anyone else's situation.

Ok, thanks for explaining it in depth. That's all I wanted. :)

And no, I don't squish ants...  :o

Why not? Ants are evil creatures that serve no good purpose in our world. I used to like spraying the area around an ant bed with ant killer, then messing up the bed and watching them all run around. They wouldn't be able to get to me for the ant killer.

Has anyone else taken another bug and put it on a disturbed ant bed to see what they'd do? Catch a fly, tear off a wing, then feed it to the ants!

There are better creatures for that that aren't nearly as volatile.

haha. I've never been bitten by an ant. I love watching them pick up rocks and create their ant-hills, and collect their food together. They're hard working farmers with a home to defend.

I am a lover of nature and animals, though there are some bugs I could really just do without. And it's not just the cute critters I like. I like opposums, and snakes, and such.

It's ok, I'm not flaming you. :P. I hate Bees, Mosquitos and the like. We all have our personal tastes.

I take it Frederick is still underwater?

The sanctuary is above water in a cave, though there is a tunnel that leads into the lake.
