Oh, it's not a game. It's legitimately used in the military.

@Etcetera

Oh, I know what you're talking about then.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

But why not make the same shield there for the sake of protection?

@Etcetera

These are starting to be beyond my knowledge, these questions.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Yes, though I meant something kind of like this:



I do love Risk though.

@Etcetera

I don't think I've ever even seen anything like that, let alone playing.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Why doesn't that apply on the ground?

@Etcetera

Because anything in the water doesn't even make it. The corrupted, as you called them, "sea monsters" in the Vile Waters are too effective at the art of destruction and carnage.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I like the military ones with the game pieces.

@Etcetera

Risk fan?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Aerial forces?

@Etcetera

Nope. Believe me, I'd be the first to fly in there and take out the problem at its source if I could. But, well, anything that crosses a certain point in the air will suddenly find themselves on the other side of the planet, equidistant to the Stretch.

Kind of sounds like you have the solution there. Whatever is causing this plague wants to be protected.

@Etcetera

Yes, but we can't get to it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Plus, maps are pretty cool in general.

@Etcetera

Also that. They are really interesting.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

What does it make people do?

@Etcetera

They become unresponsive to external stimuli, and largely unresponsive to actions taken against them period. I'd almost describe it as zombie-like, but that's not quite what it is. They all still appear to move with a purpose, and studies showed that the corruption doesn't actually kill them, even if it may seem like they're dead. They almost exclusively seem to want to just keep everything away from the Dead Stretch to the south. They defend that place without hesitation. We can't go there, and we can't see anything there through any means of observation we have.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Nice. It's really impressive.

@Etcetera

I'm glad you think so. I feel like it really adds to how realistic something feels when you define it. That's why I wanted to do this so bad. It adds definition to what I've created.
