Great idea actually. Instead of actually fighting the horrors, we give just start handing over alpha forks with cloned bodies of people. Every horror could have a copy of every real person to feed on, and become completely full on "fake people". The fact that they think are completey self-aware, have emotions, and are you doesn't matter right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
That's how the Culture A.I.s "cured" the human race. When everyone has everything they ever want why make the effort to do anything except as entertainment. |

Bump for Mr. Mage, so he can better understand the horrors, and why they will win.

You and I appear to have either vastly differing definitions of "win" or ideas on what the horrors will do, nezumi.

I think I voted on this 3 years ago...... In the end amongst a blasted wasteland there would be Lofwyr, Harlequin, Frosty, and drop bears.....but it would be victory!

Vote yes. I've found that most enemies are surprisingly weak against a monstrous dice pool.
Then again, the Horrors may use WoW mechanics. What with we do against a level 80 horror with purple gear and 10k hit boxes? |

The only purples my group ever comes across are in a pimp's car. And it certainly doesn't boost their stats any. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Oh, there are definitely purples to be afraid of. For example, what is the average sammie's defense against Nurples of the variety in question?
That's right. No one in SR has dice pools against purple nurples. |

I agree, we can definitely beattt them. Why couldn't we beatttt them? Beattttting them is as easy as continuing a typo for the lulz. |

I'm pretty sure that Dunkelzhan was of the opinion that humanity had a shot this time of actually WINNING, rather than just running and hiding away like the last few ages. As in, actually killing the Horrors or otherwise getting rid of them for good.
Granted, this probably would end with huge areas of the planet devastated and most of the human population dead, but for once we might be able to go into a high-magic age without locking ourselves in Kaers. This is the whole reason behind the Dragon Heart, Dunkie was trying to give humanity another few hundred years to prepare before the Horrors arrive. -k |

Well, if we were a bit more sarcastic, we could also think that the Big D came, saw, and could not believe his eyes.
Thus blew himself up and created a magical weapon that could devastate the world. But we are not that sarcastic, are we? |
