What's worse is that there's still no sign that the mods are actually able to do anything about it.
I have a request to make; one to Rihaku, to the players here and on SB, and to myself included.TheOtherSandman said:

What do you mean 'People reading the archives don't'? Have you tried to get into SB in lag time? The shit's down for hours at a time, you're lucky to get your post in a half hour after you make it or see the next page when you hit the arrow button. The constant amount of times you have to reload to get the forum to function makes it clear that lag is happening.Eler0 said:
They could be lucky and be in a European timezone. Which means they'd be asleep when lag struck.EnderofWorlds said:
Then it doesn't affect you and commenting on it is freaking pointless; that doesn't invalidate my point.Malcolmo said:
It'd explain why people stopped talking for periods of time though the constant talk of lag is getting a tad repetitive.EnderofWorlds said:
That's why I'm asking for people to stop talking about it; because we don't need an announcement every time the forum twitches, it just wastes posts and pages.Malcolmo said:
Have those become a limited resource since I last checked?EnderofWorlds said:
Page count has recently been halved per thread, so it'd be nice if we didn't spend posts with pointless comments about the lag. Because chances are likely that they may halve page count again to 50 if it'll fix lag.Winged One said:
It won't. Page count was reduced to as low as twenty, before the forum was migrated to Xenforo. The server just can't handle the traffic, and the admins have refused to disable unregistered users' ability to browse the forum or create a Kickstarter for a new server. The only person who could actually do something (Kier) is nowhere to be found, despite his law suit having ended over a year ago. Oh, and the forum's software is now outdated; Xenforo 1.2 came out recently. Meanwhile, the number of idiots howling for BROB to be shut down grows by the day, despite the fact that raw traffic is just as big a problem as the execrable system used to handle new posts.EnderofWorlds said:

Kyubey is making entirely separate statements here. "My apologies" means nothing. He has suffered damage and needs healing- obvious, we already knew that. He has no memories- We just got confirmation that my previous analysis was correct and he only recently came to earth. Obviously he would have no memories, he hasn't been here before and you don't load every terminal with all of the data. Normally he would just ask the mainframe for the info, but the damage means that he can't do that. Quite possibly, something is wrong with the mainframe as well.
Again, two entirely separate statements. The knowledge of the creation of male mages is one thing. The ability access is another. The two have no real connection. This Kyubey may not have actually been involved in the incubation process prior to its arrival on Earth. The "Magical Messengers" no doubt have other jobs as well- political management/secrecy maintenance, soldiers for the war, scientists and engineers, etc.
Except for this, the only time we've used the word Incubator is in the prelude to a vote. I'm not sure if that counts as entirely IC thought or not, but I'm pretty sure it does. This means that we know that they're called Incubators as well as Magical Messengers, though we probably do not know why. The quote for that is as follows:
Anyway, onto the new content, starting with the other incubator.
Compare this to our Kyubey. Ours had this whole recovery procedure thing that I still think was faked, ours managed to give a whole paragraph-long speech before actually doing anything, and our asked us to wish for its healing.
This is considerably more involved than "Your wish... is granted." We can safely assume that Tetsu's incubator was even more damaged than our was. This in turn may have been the reason our Incubator was able to successfully hack Tetsu's. Heck, our incubator may have managed a complete takeover on Tetsu's at that time. He may have had a backup this whole time.
The Kyubeys can't make new contracts- or at least, it wants to he healed more before it does so. I'm pretty sure we don't actually know about the eternal youth thing, which means that that's the wish Eri was thinking about. I'm not quite sure exactly what this means, but I don't think it suggests that Eri will last very long if she does contract. Still, word the wish in such a way that eternal youth includes eternal human-ness, and something strange may happen.
(Note: grammar error, should be "its" tail)
Not painful: Mami was affected by it looking cute. Kyubey almost certainly was expecting something like this to happen. Even then, it was making itself appear nonthreatening and non-aggressive and treating its binds as a comfortable resting spot.
1) It's doing the incubator equivalent of panicking, but it's still doing the whole double-speak and leaving itself outs (like the singular question instead of plural) I'm still not sure if this is a defective/emotional Incubator or not, but I would not be too surprised if that is one.
As far as we OOC know, incubators don't lie. This is HUGE! The incubator really believes that Earth can not risk his death. Note that if we incapacitate her immediately but don't do the rest of the instructions the offer will remain open.
Analysis later.
The Seekers I can aprove of, but given that we can just empty the magazines of 20 rifles (or more if we can spare the time to summon them) into the Lich, Grapeshot seems kind of pointless.TheOtherSandman said:
Didn't Rihaku mention something about an ultimate with these themes preferably requiring a lot of preperation?Malcolmo said:
