Ahem... I believe a little chat is in order... We are trying to make a
good story out of this and your... sorry to say it... infantile post
spoils it.

We were _already_ making a good story out of it, numb-nuts. In case you
hadn't noticed.

A universe, or microverse, has a _signature_, not a location. If he
_REALLY_ knew what he was doing, he would've given them a signature format.
Although not defined yet, a signature format would NOT contain "and turn
left." Ergo, not a signature. QED.

You would argue the mechanics of the Universe, the True Reality of the
Pattern, the Logrus and all Shadow in between?  Particularly with a Shadow
Master?   *grin*

The Pattern, (and Amber, the one True City of the Pattern) is one of two
poles to Reality. *The* Reality.  Due to the nature of the Pattern and its
counterpart, the Logrus, they create huge stresses on the fabric of
Reality, casting *Shadows* of themselves across Reality, each pole
distorting the other's Shadows.  Some people view these Shadows as
dimensions, others as alternate worlds.  There is an infinite number of
them, therefore *anything* is possible, provided you can find the right
shadow.

However, we're not talking about an unrestricted set of possiblities, are
we? Mike Loader was using MY plot-holes. My plot-holes; my rules.
Consistant rules, but they're my rules. The directions Mike gave it
would've been returned, saying: "BAD COMMAND OR SIGNATURE. Q)UIT, A)BORT,
OR R)ETRY?" It didn't because I spoofed it, intercepting the direction and
giving the plot-hole the signature to a universe not unlike Fred, but not
Fred either.

Only one who has walked the Pattern, or traversed the Logrus can fully
access the infinity that is Shadow.  Others.. well, lets just say that
their views are limited.

I can appreciate that somewhere there is a plot-hole that exists that can
take that command. But mine don't.

Besides, Fred's burried under some sand, not hidden behind a shadow. Baka.

See above.

Frosty's microverse; frosty's rules. Frosty said it was burried under some
sand, its burried under some sand, not hiding behind some shadow. These
argument go against established facts, such as they are.

I've got some powerful mecha in MON, but I can't bring them out at all the
same time. None of them are much more powerful as a YF-21 in fact. My
MANIAC armor is only as good as a DD, and my MANTIS armor, only as powerful
as a Guyver. And I haven't even _used_ them yet! I mean, COME ON!

*slight cough*  Kergma leans up against a handy bar which faded into view.
Leaning forward conversationally, he says "Ya'know, I just happen to know
of a shadow where they actually built the RSDF-2... We wouldn't want that
activated now would we... ;)"

That, you pulled out of your ass. The MANIAC armor has been round the FFML
since the apostrophies discussion last month. All three of those mecha were
for the as yet unfinished "Rascal Files". Specifically, the BlackHawke
fighter is only a little less powered than the YF-21. The MANIAC is a
variable armor that can bulk up to a maximum armor level equalling the DD.
The MANTIS armor (another variable armor, except it can't bulk-up like the
MANIAC) was taking out Zoanoids in "Rascal Files" easy, that makes it at
least as powerful as the Guyver.

Besides, I rarely use them. (Both my operations so far have been performed
with gile rather than brawn.)

  Ranma nodded. "Authors are good at that."

And you've forgotten the possibility that, because they are authors, they
have control over their ATTACKERS. I could write out half of them by
portraying them AS MORONS!

Sorry.  You've missed the whole idea of Eddie.  Eddie *is* Otaku supreme.
Very good at Powergaming.  Can reverse almost anything.  *grin*

He can resist almost anything, except demands on details: who, what, when,
where, how, why, delivered in a precise, logical format. No "He defeated
Wyrm." That sort of cop-out won't work on the FFML; not with regular
authors, and certainly not with the likes of _him_! This is what I meant by
the Incrudelity Point. Any posts past that point will be summarily ignored.

Sorry...  reread the line again...

Mike opened the plot hole to Fred as wide as possible

        ******               ** ****

Oh, well, too late now. The plot-hole is now collapsed and you're STUCK
THERE!
HAHA! And, if you think I just pulled that outta my ass, just ask JesX. He
can attest that I have very good control of plot-holes. >:)

Bzzz.  Please.  You stated before in a previous post that plot holes for
getting *to* *Fred* were available for the asking.  Mike asked.  You gave.
They are in. ;)

BZZZT! That was FROSTY! Not me. Frosty's were simple transdimensional
portholes. When I say that I pick them up for passage to Fred, I pick them
up, not send them a plot-hole.

The plot-hole I gave Mike was undirected (I had assumed that he was going
to do some revenge-work). I was keeping an eye on him so that he wouldn't
screw up and keep one open too long and draw in Washuu. Once that I found
that he had gone traitor, I spoofed the plot-hole (undirected things are
notoriously easy to spoof, especially if the user doesn't know that they
are undirected) to direct him to a universe much like Fred, but not. (By
your own argument, it exists)

Once that happened, I pushed through a Covert Operations Team to close the
plot hole. SPOILER: It worked. The hole is now closed. ;P

A copy of the log will come as soon as I finish the report.
