  2. Let me explain. He was not guilty of manslaughter because the crime of manslaughter requires that you accidentally kill someone through reckless behaviour. Since his behaviour was deliberate, he was not guilty of manslaughter. His acquittal is because the prosecutor lowballed the charge below what the facts of the case would support.
  3. TV sleuths that well and truly SUCK
  4. Mirabile Day, "Daytripper". Oh no, must be the season of the witch, Must be the season of the witch, yeah, Must be the season of the witch. When I look, when I look Humming to herself, Mirabile walks into police headquarters, her multi-coloured hair blowing in a wind that isn't there. Once upon a time, being here would have worried her, but that was before she'd been exposed to the custom-made designer drug that could unlock her hidden potential. One cop tries to intercept her, but gets distracted by those bugs under his skin. She leaves him scratching furiously. She's here on the business of The Cause after all and Everywoman wouldn't be happy if she didn't make it to the meeting. Upstairs, fat old men are getting together after all to decide the fate of those people in the streets. They're afraid they'll be thrown down, and they're right to be afraid. So they'll call out the cops and soldiers, the guns and the tanks. A little slaughter to "restore order". Well not all of us want your "order". There are two guards on the door. One of them decides his clothes are on fire so he takes them off of course. Another starts talking to an invisible friend. Daytripper smiles and steps inside. She has some fat old men to loosen up. The cops will be back to their normal fascist selves in a few minutes. The ones who call the shots will take rather longer to come down. They'll still be chasing the imaginary butterflies tomorrow. That should give The Cause plenty of time to do it's work in this city and others.
  5. Bah. Nonsense. Jumping out of a crashing plane on a rubber raft to ride it down the mountainside was not a whit more survivable.

  7. They were afraid, walking those small town mean streets. After all, with only 740 people there, the odds were high that they'd given tickets to the new Mayor's relatives. I'm not sure how that explains the city clerk and attorney...
  8. Certain settings have relatively benevolent gods become predatory demons out of a refusal to "starve to death" when they are displaced. Of course in the Primal Order setting while primal beings get more power from being worshipped than they would otherwise have, they aren't absolutely dependent on worship either. They get Primal by the nature of what they are and very very old primal beings may increasingly find maintaining a following to be more trouble than it's worth since they have grown over millions of years to such a size that worshippers are small change to them. Some never bother in the first place, feeling self sufficient or developing alternative sources of primal power.

  10. Life after death on the other hand is the gift that can keep on giving. Also it's difficult to extract sincere worship from people against their will so it usually isn't really "forced redistribution". Of course one of the interesting options in the Primal Order is that one alternative to seeking worship is to merely take the souls of the dead and feed on them directly. This is of course considerably less pleasant for the source. It's a hell of a thing.
  11. I don't think that's a defining feature of swords and sorcery. It's just typical of the older examples of the field. I could hardly describe a series like Sanctuary as high fantasy but it had plenty of spellcasters.
  12. Tapeworms who say, healed your wounds, would be awesome. Actually such an entity is the source of Forza's power from the most recent Image game thread in Champions
  13. Forza: Portugal's foremost superhero, her powers are granted to her by an alien symbiont which grants her a protective and strength-enhancing forcefield, and can fire force-blasts and propel her into the air. When she wishes to fly, her shoulder vanes provide her with forcefield "wings" that she uses to steer. (Also she can see in all directions thanks to her symbiont's eyes). The White Widow: After her husband was killed by a villainous corporation, Bianca Ragno, a cybernetic engineer vowed vengeance on them and began to attack their facilities and executives with robotic spiders that ranged from the tiny and poisonous to the gigantic and heavily armed. Her powers are inventive genius and a horde of robotic minions controlled via the "legs" mounted on her costume that serve as radio antennae. As a last resort the "eyes" on her outfit are actually grenades. Since there was no winner, anyone can post the next pic.

  15. Yes, the earlier version was this:
  16. OK, unless someone steps up, on Sunday, I post my ideas for the pic and throw it open.

  18. Hoax Regarding Terrorist Activity Hoax — terrorist activity 83.231 (1) Every one commits an offence who, without lawful excuse and with intent to cause any person to fear death, bodily harm, substantial damage to property or serious interference with the lawful use or operation of property, (a) conveys or causes or procures to be conveyed information that, in all the circumstances, is likely to cause a reasonable apprehension that terrorist activity is occurring or will occur, without believing the information to be true; or (b) commits an act that, in all the circumstances, is likely to cause a reasonable apprehension that terrorist activity is occurring or will occur, without believing that such activity is occurring or will occur.
  19. He calls himself "Captain Star". But most other people call him "Sucker Punch" because of how he made his debut, walking up to a supervillain and laying out the criminal with one unexpected punch while the bad guy was still laughing at the kid. Captain Star/Sucker Punch has the most vanilla power set imaginable, with boosted strength and durability (and a phenomenal leaping ability from his strength versus his weight), gained from a brief close encounter with aliens dumping their garbage before leaving. But he makes up for it with attitude and his incongruous appearance.
  20. Deferred adjudication is a form of plea deal available in various jurisdictions, where a defendant pleads "guilty" or "No Contest" to criminal charges in exchange for meeting certain requirements laid out by the court within an allotted period of time also ordered by the court. Upon completion of the requirements, which may include probation, treatment, community service, some form of community supervision, or some otherdiversion program, the defendant may avoid a formal conviction on their record or have their case dismissed
