oh yeah sorry I did - it's kinda interesting. It's probably intended to be read as humans creating shackling with NHP involvement only in the tech side of things but there's room for interpretation here imo. Note the bit in brackets at the start of the second paragraph here.

the invation of mars could have been the end of humanity as a whole

I was under the impression it held humanity hostage because it was holding the center of command hostage which is at most a planet

But that doesn't mean it has the power to do the same thing to everyone in the entire galaxy

it held a planet hostage using it's own technology

okay, act II spoilers here, but related to topic of FCA ||when I have my PCs meet the union folks in act 2, they're going to be concerned because they're worried the cult are breaking the FCA, and want to put a stop to that before RA shows up and puts a stop to all life in the Calliope system. They don't know how likely that would be as an outcome, but it's a non-0 possibility in union's eyes ||

a galaxy wide ban doesn't have to be watertight effective (although RA does seem to be willing and capable to assassinate JCH2 in the middle of his fortress so yanno, got the firepower to do some enforcement). My point was that if RA had wanted to say something strongly about NHPs, they could have included that in the FCA or the Koans.

especially when you consider that this was during SecComm

Ra feels like it doesn't care about NHP's as an aftermath of the blink being exposed in the Lancerverse, they are a by product

It's Albie lore that people who broke the FCA did it before the FCA were forcibly signed on. Albies destroyed every trace of them as FCA enforcement, but they got retconned to be slavers to Albies keep their squeaky clean image and the people they saved are....never mentioned again????

# limber fossil weren't they made by humans, or am i confusing something

AGNI I think could definitely be said to be created by humans. NOAH is an interesting case where their prime seems to have been a shackled NHP (this is implied to be possible anyway because shackling looks to be an iterative process but its nice to have confirmation). The rest come from RA's asscrack or nowhere or possibly the future or something, it's not clear.

I wonder if the reason so much discourse is unanswerable is the back and forth of conflicting lore

However, WF was the first module when Lancer was still new so it is probably working on the old basis on how NHPs were handled, but the community sometimes doesn't like that so it's been kind of softened cause people don't like it being so complex or icky, want my preprogrammed nhp gf

# limber fossil like... how do you... cycle_?_ your romantic partner_?_

tbf I don't think that's weird. It's complicated and fraught but essentially... Do it while holding their virtual hand after many long conversations with them in the years prior about when they would want you to cycle them.

I think there are generally ethical issues with human-NHP relationships if you're running your game as close to lore-as-written, insofar as you can derive that. But more in general power dynamic stuff in how the books don't really agree how much NHPs are meant to be treated as full citizens.

#

Sisyphus also counts I think

last leaf
#

also general meta point about the lore that I think really poisons the NHP well:

Lancer lore is primarily written with the intent of being broadly relevant to the mech fighting game

The reason why NHP lore primarily talks about NHPs in military contexts and does little to delve into their other uses other than to say they exist is because those military contexts are the ones that players will primarily be experiencing. It's why facets of the lore about how consensual military NHP procurement is for the NHP and the like are underexplored, generally the lore either focuses on big political and worldbuilding points that are useful for campaign building, or stuff that is directly relevant to player gameplay.

Now personally I think the crb does actually a pretty bad job at this and its priorities are kinda wack in a way that causes a bunch of weird misconceptions about the lore in brand new players cough cloning cough but I think people sometimes read the absence of some of these lore points, when other areas (even other areas about NHPs) are comparatively so richly developed as active evidence that there's nothing to these areas of the lore and thus we should assume for instance that the process of 'acquiring' an NHP in gameplay is therefore nonconsentual for the NHP.

yeah it's a fucking minefield really imo. It's one of those situations where the current legal/philosophical norm on IP and trademark etc are definitely wrong but there's a hell of a lot of baby in that bathwater too so you can't throw it all out. And then it's tied deeply into some pretty toxic capitalist lines of thinking and functional capitalist realities around intellectual pursuits being valued primarily around their ability to make money and people needing to work to live.

Absolutely, especially interesting give that we have an inherent restriction on such topics on this server, but discussing graphic violence is not against the rules (as long as you're not making jokes out of war crimes). whole essays have been written on the distinctly american arrangement of restricting sexual topics more harshly than violence.

To quote myself and a friend from a chat yesterday:

Them: NOT EVERYONE IS POLY
Me: True! But you don't know till you ask and shoot your shot!

#

That shoot was shot so

west phoenix
#

Talking to people is scary I don't do that

#

Especially for something like that

#

I've dated like, 4 people? And they've all approached me

polar glacier
#

I don't think I have much game IRL, but in roleplay or through text I am an incorrigible flirt

#

Which has been a more recent development? tho idk maybe that's changing irl too. I've been loosing my inhibitions on it a lot lately. Life's too short to not flirt with pretty girls

west phoenix

Me when I'm blunt annoying and autistic

The spectators of last nights game can attest i am waaaay much more there than i am here, and that's saying something

I am reasonably sure that everybody I've ever really crushed on is/was autistic, ADHD, or both

and almost always non-binary? not sure what that means

quick note from last nights igf game: (ch3) ||August respec'd into a Balor and we roleplayed it as S1GN4L trying to turn his Saladin into a bomb and failing because HA mechs are superior by design||

west phoenix
#

Common HA W

west phoenix
#

Tbh i always feel anxious when it comes to playing with people who are not close friends because i know Eleonor can put up with me and i feel comfortable there, anywhere else and i get really worried it's too much

#

I could make a joke about hating Eleonor but in reality she and my main crew match each other's freak

noble ivy
#

don't worry, I'm more than thankful that Eleonor made the mistake of letting me spectate and i would never push for anything else

I hate how size half cover interacts with everything

#

Most things don't care that it exists except for the things that do

noble ivy
#

just imagine 1/2 cover as some gears of war-esqe set decoration

shell bison
#

If it's there even as a size half its not a free space

west phoenix
#

I guess walking right through it is fine but being accelerated through it is too far

#

That's where we draw the line

clever cloud
#

so accelerate can't be used to cross walls?

shell bison
#

No

#

If there was a door you can slide through the door, but you can't phase through a wall

#

Cause accelerate isn't a portal it's a slip and slide from point a to b

  • Pepper: Male Hognose, only 60g, Axanthic morph (blacka nd grey colros)
  • Nutmeg: Female Hognose, 320g or so, Conda morph (red/brown, larger spot pattern than pepper)
  • Paprika: Female Variable Kingsnake, 250g or so, buckskin colorway (greenish-grey with red-yellow stripe)

Compare a Ball Python which is the most popular pet species and gets up to 2.5 or even 3 kg

#

They're all the same agge, about 3 years old, and all about at their full adult sizes. It's just that plains hognnose snakes have a wild amount fo sexual dimorphism, the girls are usually 3-4 times as big.

meow in the best possible way I find your anxiety re:does-everyone-secretly-hate-me slightly amusing because of how incredibly off the mark and baseless it is

I also find it slightly comforting because I get the same feelings and seeing how baseless it is in other people helps me reassure myself that my brain is simply lying to me like the liar that it is.

not a single structure on any of us

though we did spend a few repairs stabilising

||we met S1GN4L||

who is, as far as i can tell, an annoying nerd

||and, from what i can see from their chatlogs, is surrounded by other nerds, who are all annoying in different ways||

||our GM was like "i'm adding an extra hive" because we aren't allowed to have fun /j||

||S1GN4L ran away though||

#

||after we murked 2 or 3 of the mechs||

#

i called him a pussy and he said "well, you are what you eat"

#

and i was too cramped and sleepy to make a comeback

#

i probably should have just had someone shoot him

#

not like he actually had any defences on his rig

#

||oh, before that, striga ambushed us from the vents||

#

||caught us for like half an hour||

#

||and then gave us a reserve||

#

||or well, she gave us something to give vent crabs at the happy noodle||

#

||it got handed to me||

#

i went to meet the vent crabs

||and they took it and gave me an anti-tech reserve||

||which i then handed to our more violent everest cause i thought she would prefer it more||
