Yeah, it's Weakness, so we should err on the side of 'more problematic for the munchki-- er, pixie'.

What's wrong with British cooking? Are you saying you DON'T want chips (fries) with your red sauce (ketchup)?

I'm not sure either of those are from Britain, but it's a good point. Also, we're talking about cooking pixies, and they're from Britain?

You can't cook pixies, they'll vanish.
or do you mean pixies doing the cooking? |

We're going on the assumption that you can cook parts of them. It's amazing what you can remove from a person without killing them. (Dignity, freedom, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

Wouldn't they vanish after you've eaten them? You could probably manage a lick before they died.
OH GOD WHY AM I TALKING ABOUT LICKING PIXIES BEFORE THEY DIE |

Because it's spot on accurate! I swear, the amount of jury rigging and retrofitting of stuff to survive a simple winter is insane. Of course, what technology that is ours does tend to stand up quite well to extreme conditions. The truth about "Canadian Culture" is that you're hard pressed to find it with all the cultures that are around that kept theirs through the ages, so the public at large just apes the US and hopes that no one notices that we actually don't have any of our own.

Do I need to drag up the movie of the Canadian Soldiers running away from their just launched French-Made Anti-Tank Rocket?
There's a reason most of the products now being leased by the Canadian Armed Forces are coming from Germany. |

QUOTE (Yerameyahu @ Mar 31 2011, 09:04 PM) You just keep it alive during the frying and eat fast. I hear there's a few sushi chefs who can actually pull that off. As far as OT is concerned, i don't think Vanishing was ever intended as a serious impairment, but more as a bit of fluff that was kept for the ED crowd. It does have a few effects ingame, but i doubt that pixie cyberzombies and pixie autopsies would come up that often if they where rules-legal. |

"And now, on Paranormal Autopsies, the Pixie! Doctor, the patient is..."
*Doctor begins shouting, the entire statement bleeped out* "... Apparently disappearing before his very eyes." |

On the other hand, they *are* pixies. Let's take the minor penalties where we find them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As for Tech-Support: Yah, Ego is one of the first things to go in there . . Especially if you have to work with people who DO know what they are doing . . That's actually worse than working with people who THINK they know what they are doing <.< |
