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...

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...

If you're at the pub and see someone wearing a yellow red and black Star Wars themed shirt shout out/wave when I arrive as I don't know what anybody looks like as my normally travelling companions @selezen and @drewwagar will be absent. I would have thought "Thargoids on the starboard bow!&quo...

Issues, issues ; looks like I'm going to have to cancel my birthday trip down to see the family. Which also means, cancelling the 7th July trip into the Great Wen.

Nemo - two films, one of them recent, the original book, an appearance in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, etc..

Low-hanging calamari - which sets a scene for either another low-budget horror movie, thrash-metal band, or both.

And MrFibble gets the fifth and final (or even, premium) position on the podium with his wobbly sets monstrosity : Returning from the pub at exactly the wrong moment, I found myself subjected to the opening sequence of some dire bilge called "Alien Siege". Due attention has been paid, to t...

RockDoctor

I suspect I do, but you don't want me to play! Well, not getting three of the 5 places in contest like last time round (last-but-1? ). But you've done your time in purdah, so you can remove the ball gag, anti-typing boxing gloves and whatever of Anne Summers' "finest" which you've bedecke...

Come on - does nobody know the name of the book and film(s) in which this BROAD HINT >>> nameless one <<< BROAD HINT appeared.

Surely you'd be able to park the house outside the pub for a few hours? I laughed far too hard at that. I may have done myself a mischief. :D Well, partly the desired effect. The mental image of a council tow-truck, tooled up for one of those "moving the house" rigs that the Merkins like ...

So, which cart should go before which horse? This is a case where I can only control what my OXP (PF2) is doing. In this case, I'm flagging that it is incompatible with some of these older "fix" OXPs. When Oolite sees that a mod has flagged other as incompatible, it will not load the repo...

Except ... for some reason the email system has sent me the "Re: New Pilot Registration" message, which I've had repeated at intervals before but I haven't been able to pin it so tightly to doing a significant OXP change before now. Whose OXP is that from? That email is native to the emai...

Third rinse - removed "Planetfall Markets" - and now I'm getting no complaints. Except ... for some reason the email system has sent me the "Re: New Pilot Registration" message, which I've had repeated at intervals before but I haven't been able to pin it so tightly to doing a s...

rather than something that needs a manifest entry. ... YET. If people like it, there will be demand. (Waiting for the "image heavy resource pack" to finish downloading.) Downloaded, re-started ; red flags warning of an incompatibility between "Planetfall" and "Planetfall Ma...
