Red Button Consequences

<< < (31/92) > >>

Mod Josie:
From the one-way-invisible-invincible glass window that allows him to overlook his empire, Jacob looks down upon the poor, lost soul. Referencing other video games, especially those of such filth as League of Legends, the "worstest game of all timez" according to Jacob's enormous stockpile of information on the subject.
In order to rid this terrible plague from his otherwise pristine land, Jacob walks over to the Dev Console and starts typing in commands.

Upon deactivating the ability to talk about [ERROR: Missing or Unavailable content in Library-Language_v7_eng. Please check with your operator if this content is missing or unavailable deliberately.] and force-changing Indreams back into a unicorn, Jacob presses the Red Button on his desk.

Indreams:
Indreams finds his league account deleted, and holds no memories of his unicorn transformation.

However, his MOBA urges remain. In fear of making another reference to a popular MOBA, Indreams decides to create one himself.

In his design, one lane airship combat. Two flak towers and one gates on each side. A desert like map. Objective is to destroy the enemy's gate.

Having no game dev experience, Indreams presses the red button full of hope.

Mod Josie:
Having created an in-game universe that is independent from that of Guns of Icarus Online, Indreams holds God-powers in his new MOBA Universe. Within the context of his Universe, he can do what he likes, though he remains a normal player in the GoIO Universe.
From across the still-loading skybox texture, a pigeon flies towards Indreams with a small letter attached to its leg. The pigeon lands and Indreams takes the note from the bird, who tries to fly away but is now trapped within the Universe as its walls are well established. Without verifying its e-mail address, the Pigeon cannot save its progress.
Indreams reads the letter.


--- Quote from: Letter on January 23, 2015, 12:29:13 am ---Dear Indreams,

I noticed six seconds ago that you created your own game Universe. While I commend you for your efforts and pray that your new game may find success, don't be a stranger; we'll miss you if you don't play our game anymore.
I thought it was worth mentioning that you accidentally tried to create your game Universe as a subset of mine as you were logged into my game at the time. This would have caused a crippling crash and have caused all the servers to brick. Be glad that I was watching and very quickly moved all your newly created files into a new directory on a separate drive before they booted; you're welcome.
In doing so, I have inadvertently granted you the ability to be God within your own game Universe as I did not have enough time to configure the Permissions files in the few seconds since you created your Universe. While I am able, I promise only to add or remove files from your new directory if it is absolutely necessary. You are, in essence, free to do as you please. Though remember, I am in charge of the servers so don't go breaking any laws - I'll see.

If you have any questions about how to configure your Universe's default content and files (you are given a large array of these at the start), feel free to ask me. I can show you how to generate entities and content within your Universe and perform a large number of complex actions with them.

Enjoy your new project,
-Muse- Jacob

After sending the letter, Jacob puts his feet up on his desk and wonders what on Earth Indreams will try to achieve with his new-found power and ability. He shrugs and taps the Red Button with his foot.

Kamoba:
Kamoba watches the twitch stream of the creation of this new world for fear of what he would see he presses the red button in an attempt to terminate the connection to the stream.

Indreams:
Indreams feels that this is kinda getting out of hand.
He misses the days when pressing the Red Button usually killed him in a creative way.

Kamoba's Red Button press summons the council of demo-gods (demo cose games) of video gaming, who mercifully resets Indreams to the happy, ignorant Guns of Icarus nerd.

"...Lumberjack: first notch <500, second notch 500, third notch 800, fourth notch 1200, fifth notch 1400. Galleon approaches: above below, behind. Heatsink gives two shot guns a third shot. Pyra has low acceleration but high maximum velocity. Ships all have similar maximum vertical velocity..."

Content with his situation, Indreams leaves the red button unpressed.
