Paranoid: An Adventure in Extreme Fishing[Lanun Spoilers]

Photobucket has a very harsh bandwidth limit on images, unless you have a pro account. So you really can't use that if you have a normal account anyway.

It worked for PBEM1. But since it isn't working now, and it isn't that great.. I've got big connection to it.

Dropbox's files are private unless you put them in a specific folder. It's called public or something like that, look around on the web interface. The specific folder should have a file with instructions in it. You put the image in that folder, then press a link that appears next to the image name to get the public URL for it.

Ah. That sounds likely to work.

I'll investigate it tomorrow. Thanks.

Difficulties accessing the Computer are common among TRAITORS.

Selrahc is having difficulty accessing the Computer.

Therefore Selrahc is a TRAITOR.

Gee, it's gone quiet around here, was it something i said? :neenernee
Those miniguns sure are good at emptying the room!


Selrahc, did you manage to work out your imaging problems?

Dropbox has a folder called:

....Dropbox\Public

Within that you can build your own folders however you like but once you have an image you wish to post, simply right-click on it and select "Dropbox - copy public link. You can then paste the link into the form in IMG tags and it works fine. I find it 10 times quicker and easier to organise than photobucket, imageshack etc...

Heroes of Alpha Complex: Exiles Edition 2

When last we left our hero, the Chosen One, he had just been very firmly but very forcefully shown the exit and kicked back into an alien infested wasteland.

Things looked bleak for our hero, he was surrounded by Aliens, Deathclaws and Supermutants. But if there was one thing a life growing up in Alpha Complex had prepared him for


... it was running away.



Again and again he managed to [strike]run from[/strike] outflank his alien pursuers.

In his travels he met the first representatives of an odd race called the Elohim... but ran on before exchanging more than curt introductions.

And wandering through the desert, alone, barely conscious, he stayed alive.



The Vault Dwellers were still kicking themselves.

They'd found and lost the waterchip in that embarrassing incident with the ghoul and the deck of cards, and the 20G in loot they'd managed to raise wasn't nearly enough to satisfy their Runes handler.

But maybe this would buy them a ticket back to the complex? A prime fishing location.

Look at it, fantastic. Fish, coastal pearls, room for multiple pirate coves... And the land! Marble. Forested ice hills. Much valuable raw materials. And obviously someone would easily be able to think of some fishing application for marble soon enough.


But out of the fog, they heard voices.


Green voices.
The Vault Dweller team knew better than to get involved with Clearance Green. Time to scarper!



In the immediate vicinity of Hex base Captain Flashman (Hero of Alpha Complex) lamented his lot in life, and the improbable sequence of events that had led to his being selected to head up a recon team.

He was clearance blue! There was no reason for any of the blue-bloods to get involved in out of complex activities. It set a bad precedent.

But after getting in that duel with Card-I-GAN, and having his hormone suppressants removed by that high programmer, it seemed like it might actually be the least hazardous course of action to be out of complex for a while.

Maybe it would bolster his reputation as a blunt and effective hero of the computer even further... Maybe he would find the fabled "El Fishrado" which could get him promoted all the way up to Violet.

Didn't stop it from being a cold and miserable job though.

[Selrahc]

Things should be working now!

Not there ever was a problem at any point... Go back to your business citizens.

[Acalostas]

Whatever you did seems to have worked, images showing up perfectly fine

Not that they weren't working before. They always worked. Anyone who told you otherwise is obviously a Traitor

Major Crisis!

The five turn scouting mission for Flashman turns out to have been a big mistake, as a wolf rider zooms in from the distance.

With only one warrior in base and three turns to complete another, I have to try some desperate measures.

Leaving the situation as is, the Goblin Rider will attack IBT at around 40% odds to eliminate me.

Accordingly, Flashman attacks(24.3% odds), dies, and I move the warrior from the capital up.


I'm getting 98% odds on an attack next turn, but they will be lower than that. Either the beast will attack, or it will heal. Or it might even run. If it runs, that is fantastic. I'll be able to have two defenders in place by the time it comes back.
Will the Wolf Rider get a promotion? If it does, then it will be hard to kill and I'll probably have to run back to the capital.

I've at least bought myself a turn. Sadly, not much more...
