h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Okay, so I join h2g2. That's fun.

I find a few places to hang. Fun fun.

I join CHOPPERS. Seems fun.

However, I've not really considered how this whole "time manipulation" schtick that I've given myself and my penny whistles would work in combat situations. I can think of a few good ones, but I'll have to give this some thought before hand.

On your first journal entry!

I saw you made another one for the fish game - you should let the others know about it, because they can't see it if they haven't joined you to their friends list.

Unless you've told them somewhere else, and then I'm just being an idiot.

As for combat situation, I wouldn't worry about it. Just wing it and be silly, that's the way you have most fun. I think the last sorta-war CHOPPERS were in was when they were invaded by the Evil Army of h2g2 and the MotMV (since we're allies). Look for the thread to see what kind of thing that was like... very very funny.

Yeah, I've seen it. It's a nice read. I just need to know what my character is capable of, then I can know the best way to be funny!

As for the fish game, the other CHOPPERS already know about it. We're setting up a kind of "training game" for kicks.

Hmmmm let's see... I suppose you could travel back in time and manipulate things in order to, say, have a flower pot fall on somebody's head in a crucial moment. I wouldn't go too far with things - I wouldn't for instance say 'well, I traveled back in time and prevented you ever being born' - because that wouldn't be fun.

Remember my girl, you must always use your powers only for silly!

I think I manipulated time once (I had a point about doing it but I can't remember what it was), because we usually work in a continuity-less environment so practically everything's possible.

I think that my time manipulation is probably going to be more along the lines of slowing time down for opponents, or sending telepathic messages back to myself to heighten my awareness of incoming attacks, or something. I've not quite hammered it out yet, though.

SOunds good - I guess you could start with that and play it by ear as you go.

That's the plan!

Good luck!

You could drop by the 'Evil Army invases' if you want to, we're not doing much at that point but it's still pretty nice...

Hmmm...pretty long conversation. Maybe when my schedule's a bit less hectic in the real world.

Ah, I know what you're talking about... though I'm already addicted, so I find myself taking 'short h2g2 breaks' that quickly turn into 'oh my god, is that really the time?!' (which makes everything even more hectic ).
Anyway, no need to read the whole thread. Look at the first few pages to get a hang of it and then move straight to the end and see what's going on (not much) - that's what I'd do anyway.
