Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

EDIT : Downloading ; I may live to regret this.

People CARE about what might have happened if Hitler was assassinated I bet they can't bring themselves (or their characters) to assassinate the Vienna art teachers who denied Hitler recognition and triumphant acclaim ("sieg heil!") as a watercolour artist. That would be to sticky a wicke...

People CARE about what might have happened if Hitler was assassinated I wonder if the "fan fic" side of our resurgent problem with Nazis are writing time-travel stories about people going back in time to assassinate problematic real world characters to promote Hitler. Churchill, Roosvelt,...

Looks like ffutures has the final podium, the Chalice, and an appointment for some serious plastic surgery to add (or extend) limbs - podia for the occupation of.

v2.11 makes no difference. NaN still displayed at Digebiti. Could the NaNs be implying that no rail route exists between (Present.Location) and that destination. Thargoid bombing, triffid leaves on the line, or "the distance is too short to make a train link feasible. Which, crazy though it so...

We're just terrified of the consequences if we happen to win....

Well, I suppose I could offer a peek at my collection of a half-dozen ideas for SFT challenges. But then I'd have to think up some more.

Check your PM box.

And that's ffutures on first, second and fourth podia, with Mr_Green on third.
Is everybody else on holiday?

How about the sticky black hole in Roger Rabbit? :mrgreen: https://youtu.be/4J_eB_ocTCs?feature=shared Oh, that's sweet. It has been so long since I saw Bob Hoskins playing it straight - instead of his normal (?) comedian gangster, I'd forgotten the gory details. But, for clarity, are we talking ab...

Deadpool with a katana, wiping out everyone in the Marvel Universe and other universes and probably eventually the "real world" since he actually knows he's a fictional character and can easily step into our world. https://cdn.marvel.com/u/prod/marvel/i/mg/e/03/519273427d5e7/standard_incr...

Nobody else coming back on SF assassination techniques. I mention, to take the off the table, almost anything proposed by the CIA against Castro - somehow, I don't think the CIA were seriously trying with the exploding cigars and the neurotoxin-sweating inner thigh of a dusky maiden. But surely some...

Larry Niven, The Hole Man (1974) -Captain Childray, killed by Andrew Lear with a micro black hole, in an alien base on Mars. Collateral damage, eventually the whole of Mars, probably in 40 or so years. A scientific team finds an alien base on Mars. Scientist Andrew Lear believes that a machine in t...

Eeek ! a chalice! What're you trying to do? Kill me? From my folder of ideas, I don't think we've used this one before : [*] From the SpamAssassin award of an (armour-plated?) cummerbund ... Assassination techniques used in SF. I'll rule out the vulgarly inefficient (destroying a planet to get the g...

[Exit stage left, to launch a single-ship invasion of Beenbeor.]

Localised alien invasions. I want five examples of alien invasions/incursions which are set on Earth, and limited to a village or town, with no or little knowledge outside that community during the invasion/incursion. Well, before reading the rest of the replies (I see another page worth), two come...

I'm sure Giles can find a canal... ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Canal linking the Thames and the Grand Union, so via those much of the remaining canal network. How many light years of witchspace fuel can a narrow boat store, and does the good ship "Giles" have an avatar in-gam...
