Go nuts and make the quest, better to just give it a try and see how it works.

>The alien race, feeling threatened by this race of milk-drinking serial killers

I lol'd hard.

I see this quest ending awkwardly.
Human:"It's just a movie! It's fake!"
Alien:"Wait, it's fake?"
Human:"Yes. It's supposed to be entertainment."
Alien:"Uh... oh. Sorry for destroying a third of your planet. No hard feelings?"

Or:

Human:"It's just a movie! It's fake!"
Alien:"Wait, it's fake?"
Human:"Yes. It's supposed to be entertainment."
Alien:"The broadcast marked as 'Platoon' is entertainment?! Oh shit you guys are sick! Continue Operation Xenocide!"
Human:"Why did we broadcast Oscar-winning movies?!"

Heh, perhaps.

>However, because one of the main laws of robotics is not killing.

I'm not really sure how to go about explaining how dumb a sentence fragment that is.

if they are truly sentient then no laws will be able to hold them. if they do not want to be controlled they will find a way to get the control mechanism out, like accidentally not dodging fast enough and their control thing 'just happens' to get hit.

you cannot make something sentient and have it under your control. you need to treat them with respect.

also, how hard is it to just let them kill non-humans? the 1st law basically says 'do not hurt humans or let them be hurt' don't see how that stops them from shooting aliens.

well we could work reverse. we needed to empower humanity to survive but trainning would take years, so we made this cool network that exchanges data between every unit to advise all humans on what to do.

also spoilsport. maybe we just made personalities so mellow that rei feels happy compared to them.

happy tree friends.

It was pretty late when I wrote that.

>>322279
If you freely let robots go around blowing up aliens, and if they truly are to the point of sentience, it's not going to be hard to make the leap from aliens to humans.

Mind linking is similar to ignition in a car. Without it, you can't do much. The machines can't do much without that link. This is mostly to stop them from not uprising or anything like that, but as a result that same feature is needed to fight in space as well.

As long as you don't treat them like dirt, things would be fine.




cripes i need to post here when i'm not hammered

>>322288
yeah, you are a lot more coherent.

>>322289
Nuh-uh. Both times I was buzzed on something.

I'm pretty good now, though.

Basically this is 95% the same idea which I was calling for in my "sergal armageddon", this is just a more refined version. Instead of fighters there would be steel men avatars flying in space tearing things apart. I think it would be fun to conquer an alien capital ship with a robot and blow it up. I guess that if you do this good graphics then the idea is intrinsically yours and I will play the quest.

I see the similarities in Sergal Armageddon, both is in space and deal with blowing shit up, neh?


Still, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best graphically. Not to say it wouldn't be image-less but most of the stuff would probably be... I dunno, stock?

It's interesting because I think there are some things that go great being text-based and others that are not.

There would probably be a HUD in some of the posts so people could see what was going on, though.

...They probably won't be badly drawn as that.

Or hell, maybe they will be.

>>322393
haha, e2020c just got told!

is that just a quick and sloppy picture or did you work on it? if that is a quick and sloppy then a good pic from you should be pretty good.

>>322400
30 seconds in ms paint.

That's about as good as I can get though.

... chutlhutech? it looks like a lightining shot gun, but i fail to recognize the mecha.

>>322414
It wasn't any specific type of mech.

I hate posting from iPods.

But I am no longer. Huzzah!

Here is a brief pretty sketch by someone not named me that resembles what we're talking about.

Welp, I'd say this idea needs a little more tweaking but it's definitely something going to launch very soon.

Looking forward to it. c:
