Only natural weapons are allowed during a Drop Test. a True Believer of theDBC would know that and don't ask such a heretical question!

Aug 22 2006, 06:50 PM
Actually, I was asking because I was wanting to limit damage to the building I would be dropping from. You know, so I can potentially drop from it in the future.
Okay, natural weapons only? Any limits on crater size?

I suspect this one may have difficulty with the Sacrament of the Plunge, such actions are difficult in free fall and the landing on such prey may prove less than satisfying.

The natural weapons of a naked human, yes. And no limit on the crater size (why ever you want to make one).
Have fun and enjoy the Drop.

Unfortunately, I had to redo it. At that height, I mistook a UCAS troop carrier for a tourist bus. Say, want a few weapons or some armor? I've got plenty left over...

Good, good... Just taking notes. You don't mind these statements being included with the news story that says you guys are linked directly to the Universal Brotherhood and are a group of insect shamans trying to take over the world, right?

Good work LilithTaveril! The Universal Brotherhood / insect shaman cover story is a good one. Nobody will suspect the truth. It will enable our Drop Forces to easily sneak through magical checkpoints looking for insects and present an even more dangerous threat than before. In addition when the pesky so-called authorities come into our compounds their insecticide weapons will be useless against our righteous HMHVV might. We will triumph over them with little fear of losing even one holy Drop Bear. Good work indeed. We should give you some kind of award for thinking up such a devious plan for us. How about a nice cold Drop Beer...

Although I am but a lowly neophyte, callow and unlearned in your ways, I say to you now that my spirit is willing and my loyalty unswerving. I beseech you, oh brethren, to grant my humble request.

It's not supposed to. It's supposed to make everyone think the Drop Bear Conspiracy is really an insect spirit conspiracy. That way, they come in with pesticides, you respond with lethal force.

Probationary novice FanGirl, welcome to the cause. I have good news for you: The Drop Bear Conspiracy™ is an
international scheme for world domination. That means, we have cells in countries where drinking age starts as early as with the age of 16. Just pay a visit to our German brethren and share a bottle of true Drop Beer.
By the way: It should be your constitutional right to drink any form of alcohol you want to. That is something all Germans, French, British and Russians believe in.

I find it interesting in three regards, the first is the passage obivously is about a predessor of the fearsome and majestic drop bear, secondly it was posted 10 and a half months before this thread was started, and it takes place inside the Renraku Arcology. It shows that primative untrained drop bears in fact were behind the shutdown.

I have no complaints, for such is the privilege of serving such beautiful Masters, and the carpet has pretty patterns in it which I look at when I'm bored. It's just that... well...

Angelone. That is privileged information. On another note, congratulations on your forth read of the blessed scriptures.
Witness. Ahhhh yes the old stay in the antechamber test. With two months practice, I believe you ready to experience the full exaltation of the Drop test. First, seek out a suitable high perch from which to launch yourself into the glorious Holy Drop. Then wait ever so patiently till a suitable target, such as one of those wretched dissolute fraggles, presents itself to you. During this time it is advised to reflect the true nature of The Drop. Also, you can sustain yourself on delicious eucalyptus leaves and various eucalyptus snacks while sitting at your post. Burning sacred eucalyptus candles will also help you to connect to the inner Drop.
Let us know how it goes.
