SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Nicephorus;242805It would be great when a front wheel throws up a rock or goes through a mud puddle.

Dude, I didn't even think about that.  That would be about the shittiest vehicle in the world to drive in Seattle.

Quote from: Ian Absentia;242167...the idea of riding as part of the undercarriage makes me nervous.
Especially when the bottom parts include your face, hands, knees, and genitals.

And toes.

I didn't realize it converted into another shape, although I thought it might do something with those Crysis-suit myomer bundles on the "joints," but the shift in position does nothing but avert some fore-aft stability issues; it actually exacerbates the leading caster problem, meaning its straight-line stability is going to be terrible. It also leaves you suspended, making it probably damned uncomfortable.

Neat idea, but wildly impracticable.
When you\'re a bankrupt ideology pursuing a bankrupt strategy, the only move you\'ve got is the dick one.
