The MS Paint Adventures Suggestion Box


Submit a comment to this post to make a suggestion for the latest
MSPA story.

You can also leave any other sort of comment about the site here. That's cool too.

POST YOUR COMMENT

Some notes:

- Keep it short! I tend to clip all suggestions to be about 60 characters or less.

- Maybe this is obvious, but only make suggestions for the latest point in the story! Posting the suggestion "shoot safe" when I am 800 pages past that point doesn't make the slightest bit of sense!

"FAA,

"hint hint, Magnacor."

Actually, if memory serves, he figured it would be absolutely useless and left it lying arouWHY AM I HELPING YOU


WHYYYY"

MAGNA: Become perplexed.

You have no idea what in the imaginary universe he may be talking about (mostly do to your low INTELLIGENCE ATTRIBUTE), but you concede that it would be utterly useless to spend time trying to figure that out. You instead turn your attention to using your JACK KNIFE to unscrew the back of your TINY ETCH-A-SKETCH. You remove the TINY NUMERATOR FLUXOIDE used to power it and then fire your TAILOR SHOP KEY at it changing it into the regular NUMERATOR FLUXOIDE. You then decide that a SHRINK RAY probably has no value to anyone else and casually toss it aside.

MAGNA: Store NUMERATOR FLUXOIDE under your HAT that you assume you have since everyone else seems to.

Your useless NUMERATOR FLUXOIDE safely stored away, you leave the SCIENCE FAQ. Looking at that damn FRACTAL is really doing a number on your eyes. Even with your GLASSES equipped you don't think you will have enough protection to look at it much longer. You fumble about the SUGGESTION BOX and look for some other way to help out in the battle.

It's pretty quiet in here. Without people posting SUGGESTIONS and everyone else at the SCIENCE FAQ, you actually feel quite safe here compared to the mayhem you've been involved in lately. You IMAGINE that a guy could really do some quality IMAGINING in this IMAGINATION-packed SUGGESTION BOX. You take a hit from your GREENHOUSE KEY and start IMAGINING...

You are one of the top weasel-trainers in the Canadian Circus League. Solicitations for your services are adequate in quantity. Compensation, numerous. It is a ostrich winter morning. You are feeling particularly high tonight. What will you do?

MAGNA: Quickly retrieve arms from safe.

Since you clearly lack any arms whatsoever, you search the confines of your safe which is obviously unlocked. After pushing aside your collection of HUNK RUMP WEEKLY magazines and removing your various ANIMAL PELTS, you find what you were looking for. You reach over and grab your TRANSPHOMETER.

MAGNA: Equip TRANSPHOMETER in ARM SLOT.

There's no such thing as an "ARM SLOT," d-bag! You throw the piece of crap out the WINDOW and then throw your hat out the window along with it, just to establish how disgusted you are.

MSPA Player: NEW GAME PLUS

Anonymous said...

Hey, so I just thought of something which I haven't seen posted here yet.

In the page where the sleuths are back in the office building about to open the exit door, HD and NB are not present. Now, one might say they could just be around the door corner first, because of CHIVALRY, or you could say AH was making it intentionally ambiguous so that the reader could insert whatever ending they wished.

But then, something occurred to me.

HD and NB are PS and PI's imaginary doubles.

The bodies of characters from the imaginary universe cannot be sustained for long on the material plane.

I posit that HD and NB are now skeletons in puddles of their own melted organs, directly inside one of the office windows.

Nope, that's not the case. The map of all locations seen so far clearly shows that whore island is an actual location. Also, the three windows there are imaginary-real world windows. The brothel is also physically connected with the legitimate establishment. Also, the three bedrooms that the female counterparts starts in is located in MK's office, which is in the real world. So NB and HD have been through the real world (and starts in it!) for quite some time.

It did get me thinking, though. The whores, and later NB and HD, used the flyver to get from whore island to the offices. How is that even possible? The only exit is locked, and if it was possible to get to the offices from that way, it would mean the party goes through the exit only to leave again. Gee, I guess nobody ever thought of turning around and seeing the OTHER exit down into the street level that the party CLEARLY uses when they first enter the IMAGINARY realm via forts.

Mikker said...

Oh, and the current AD is the 'female' counterpart, and if he didn't melt, NB and HD wouldn't have, either.

__

Yeah NB, HD, and the whores are all from the brothel which is really the dollhouse, which is really in MK's room which is in the real world. Ergo, the inside of the SLEAZY BROTHEL IN THE SKY is real, though the outside is not. So whatever the reasons are for NB and HD staying with the whores, it has nothing to do with melted organs and the such. Likely it is because they are not the three main characters and nothing more complex then that.

Though I feel I should point out that there are numerous ways of going from the imaginary universe to the offices via flivver. I've thought of a few of them:

Flying up to any of the WINDOWS and going through said WINDOWS
Taking a route through the CHICAGO OVERCOAT assuming the remains still give you access to what's below deck
Heading through the brothel
Going through the MANHOLE assuming it's turned on

And probably a few more that I neglected to mention that will be pointed out by someone else in a matter of hours.

So out of all of my suggestions, the only one that could have been used to escape their offices was the windows and that would likely only result in PS breaking his legs.

You mentioned that the door was unlocked in the Imaginary Universe, which is true, but it IS the Imaginary Universe. In the offices in the Real World, the door was locked, but in the Imaginary Universe it was unlocked. Of course you can't access the Imaginary Kingpin Tower unless you're in your fort so we didn't see too much of them.

Wait, wasn't I just having an epic battle over the WHOLE OF CAUSALITY a moment ago? After being swallowed by a FRACTAL?

So, no window route.

Obviously she is very aggrieved with the whore in front of her wearing FAD's original hat that he ended up tossing away when he decided that all of the ethnic shit was getting a little silly. Needless to say, wearing such a hat would obscure the view of any movie goer with a low HEIGHT ATTRIBUTE. Ergo, it seems logical that the ANGRY WHORE is rather distressed over not being able to see the adventures of the brave CAPTAIN SNOOP over the incredibly large ETHNIC HAT.

You know, I'm surprised that out of all the times Death cried, no one thought to gather his tears. If Elf Tears do awesome things, imagine what his do!

Tib: I've suggested that PS collects Death's tears several times - as a requirement for using sepulchritude. So yeah, it has been suggested, AH just never used it.

Wait. Wasn't the FAN CORD running through the projector and the mouse hole before? Where did it go?

FAA: Wonder where the window goes.

You briefly wonder about where the window leads, then wonder why you wondered that, because it clearly has no relevance to anything at all. You're not even sure what window you were wondering about.

The FIELD OF RAINBOW SHININESS is dissipating! You can see somewhat better now. Looks like someone left...

Of course, you're almost dead by now, so you'd better make this last AGRESSION count! You end your KEYTECH, and carefully begin seperating the USELESS KEYS from the DAMAGING KEYS.

"the entire population of africa said...

Meh. Jail Break was great, but Bard Quest ended up being too much of a hassle to keep with, with bridging plotlines and stuff. Bard Quest fell hard pretty quickly. I wouldn't mind revamping JB, but I say we let sleeping dogs lie as far as Bard Quest goes. But really, I'd prefer a new game all together.

And didn't Andrew mention something about tying up both of their plotlines before continuing with the new one? That would probably be best.

MAGNA: Pose on your own, because SHIT JUST GOT SOLITARY!

You wonder where the fuck everyone went for a few days while you sat by yourself in your META-IMAGINARY OFFICE. Fortunately, the time has given you plenty of time to do a bunch of CRAZY PUZZLE SHIT and escape your office.

MAGNA: Enter NUNPANICK's OFFICE search room.

You enter the office next door and cast about your ogle. It looks like someone has been gone for a while. At least two or three days. You wonder where they could be. You do however, find a DIVUNER sitting on their desk. It seems off that they wouldn't have taken it with them. There is a good chance that they are missing their DIVUNER so you plug in their window and throw the DIVUNER through it, in case of the off-chance they are actual right out the window.

...you plug in [nupanick's] window and throw the DIVUNER through it, in case of the off-chance they are actual right out the window."

Due to nupanick's recalibration of portals earlier, the TINY DIVUNER appears on the LAPTOP which is sitting on the floor a few feet from the window in the meta-imaginary office.

Nupanick's meta-imaginary security system goes off. This is where the fancy equipment is kept, and it's dangerous to mess with it. A pre-recorded voice says "Magnacor, if that's you, please leave the way you came in and try not to blow up my office. There's some important stuff in here that I don't want to break. Thanks."

===================================
>NN: return from unannounced vacation.

You read through the suggestion box RSS to see what you missed. Hmm. That's plausible enough:

You return to the SCIENCE FAQ and examine the battle. Magnacor seems to have left without picking up the LINEARLY EXTRUDED CARBON which is plainly in sight and which you made clear you needed. Oh well.

You remove the ammo from the MECHANICAL PENCIL and insert it into your POKE-BALL KEYCHAIN, thus completing the SHRINK RAY.

You notice that FAA has actually taken damage, but is about to attempt a final attack. You steal the PLAUSABLE ARGUMENT from the ANONYMOUS POSTER and load it into your SHIELD SLOT.

>Poke-ball keychain, GO!

You open the POKE-BALL and the FULL-SIZED PORTAL GUN appears! You fire a portal in the sky right above FAA and use your calibrator to link it to the TINY BLUE HERRING POSTER you are still carrying. You capture the PORTAL GUN in the POKEBALL for safe-keeping.

MAGNA: Unequip your MILITARY ARMORY KEY which you were about to use to blow up the office

You thought that it would be a funny prank to use your ROCKET LAUNCHER to destroy his office, but now it seems a little harsh. Perhaps something less destructive?

MAGNA: Go on http://www.hunk-rump.com to try to give NN's computer a virus.

Knowing first-hand the effects of Hunk Rump on one's system (in more ways than one) you decide it would be fun to try to give NN's computer a virus by searching on the dangerously sketchy HUNK RUMP WEBSITE. But before you do you notice something on the keyboard. It appears to be the DIVUNER, albeit a much smaller version of it. You don't know why the heck it's here, but you throw it out the WINDOW again for good measures.

Nunpanick's computer has been slain!

PRE-RECORDED VOICE: "Magnacor, I told you not to mess with my stuff! *sigh* I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised considering you have never listened to me before. Well if I were you, I'd get out of here, because this computer will self-destruct in ten...nine..."

I suppose I should be greatful that you didn't throw the LAPTOP out of the window. That would have made professor bee very, very sad.

>Next.

You were seriously hoping Magnacor would do something useful. This appears to have failed to happen. FAA has also not fired a counter-argument, so your PLAUSABLE ARGUMENT DEFENSE is still full. You see the LAPTOP screen vanish. Magnacor must have blown it up. Sigh. You still have one portal over FAA and its matching POSTER in your inventory. Magnacor has the RED HERRING LIGHTBOX but you have no clue what he plans to do with it since it is not matched to a portal now and is pretty useless.

Also, How did Magnacor get into my office, seeing how it has no door and the window was not connected?

This is a shockingly valid point! You're not entirely certain where to go with this.

Well, there is that argument...

But using that would make things even more convoluted and possibly kill you by accident. Or worse...

However, you decide to go with a more likely explanation.
___________________________________

The only times GPI acted were out of necessity:

When the Universe was torn in half,
and
When the Universe potentially wouldn't have existed at all.

I somehow doubt GPI would pay enough attention to the Universe to solve this problem himself.

Although, given how he made the Whole Of Existence (that's Space and Time), it'll probably work itself out in the end... somehow.

And I'll try to get this across once more: I'm NOT concerned with the Part-Pickles themselves.

The Part-Pickles, as I use the term, mean the Electrons, Neutrinos, and Quarks that make up the Universe.

It is these guys I'm worried about. There simply isn't enough Matter "Alive" in the Universe to equal the Matter that "Dies" to create it.

THAT is the Plothole.
___________________________________

You attempt to ARGUE down Nupanick's PLAUSABLE ARGUMENT! You're not entirely certain it's working, though.

Fortunately, the FIELD OF RAINBOW SHININESS vanished, coinciding with your realization that it'll take too long to sort through an INFINITE NUMBER OF KEYS for you to be able to do anything.

So, you shuffle all the keys back together, and prepare your final KEYTECH.
___________________________________

This last KEYTECH will obliterate just about anything and everything in it's path, so if you can do anything to keep that from happening, or at least find a way to avoid it, it'd probably be a good idea.

>NN: Use your MacGuiver-like resourcefulness to block the attack somehow!

There is SCIENCE to be done. You have a neat GUN. And you're definitely STILL ALIVE.

You grab the WALLS OF TEXT scattered about the FAQ. Most have been broken in half by the PLOT HOLE or FAAs attacks, but there's a number of large chunks left. You create a small crate out of them and shoot a PORTAL on the inside walls, connecting opposite sides and creating a clever LOOP BOX.

Any beam-like attack fired into this will fly through the portals and eventually escape the way it came, so it makes a powerful bounce-back shield. You can do one better, though. You link the bottom side of the LOOP BOX to the SKY PORTAL with the TINY KEYCHAIN BOTTLE OPENER. (the TINY BLUE HERRING POSTER is no longer linked to anything). You clip the LOOP BOX to your POKEBALL KEYCHAIN. Finally, your creation complete, you run underneath FAA (holding your still-intact PLAUSABLE ARGUMENT as a shield) and release the LOOP BOX from its POKEBALL. The GIANT LOOP BOX appears from underneath FAA, creating a complete PORTAL CUBICLE around FAA.

It's like standing between two mirrors in here. Almost fractal-like, but this is of course a deception because the PORTAL CUBICLE has a clearly defined and non-infinite area.

You'd REALLY like to see FAA try to launch an attack now. Of course, such a convoluted defense may have a weakness (not likely) but just in case, you enlarge the PLAUSIBLE ARGUMENT and stand behind it. You enlarge your TINY KEYCHAIN PERISCOPE to full size so as to see out over the wall. You also take a moment to enlarge the TINY BLUE HERRING POSTER to normal size, then link it to the RED HERRING LIGHTBOX which Magnacor is now carrying and which was thankfully not blown up with the LAPTOP, the DIVUNER, and your USEFUL HAT COLLECTION.

You're a little pissed at Magnacor, but he did manage to give you the inspiration for the PRISMATIC RAINBOW OF SHININESS and the CHAIN GUN, so you suppose you wont hold the destruction of all your well-managed EQUIPMENT against him.

...Damn, you left your DIVUNER on your desk, didn't you? Magnacor probably blew that up too.

You read the sign that may or may not have been directly behind you for all eternity.

"Hello Magnacor! Welcome to the CALIGINOUS VOID. Here you will find a myriad of objects that do not exist. PUMPKINS, KEYS, and OFFICES are are main provisions though you may find much, much more. I do hope you enjoy your stay. Feel free to ask me any questions you may or may not have."

At least it was, until your whole office was disconnected from imaginarity.

>NN: Just put portals on the outside of the box, too!

You strongly suspect that that warning noise means a nuclear missile has been launched to destroy your ingenious PORTAL CUBICLE. The obvious course of action is to double-up the portals to make the missiles go through the box, almost as if it didn't exist. But not really, because it's still there, just blocked off from this part of reality by a shimmering portal matrix... thing.

You enlarge the PORTAL GUN to the proper size to shoot five GIANT PORTALS on the OUTSIDE of the CUBICLE.

Your ELEVATOR KEY is out of ammo!

Drat, you could really use just one more portal to re-direct the missiles which you are sure are coming soon.

You zap the BLUE HERRING POSTER with your SHRINK RAY KEYCHAIN and turn it into the GIANT BLUE HERRING POSTER, so that it can fit on one side of the box. You put it on the side facing the incoming missiles and stand behind your shield with one hand on the TINY KEYCHAIN BOTTLE OPENER. All you need to do now is link the GIANT BLUE HERRING POSTER to the inside of the PORTAL CUBICLE right before impact.

You ready an action. As soon as you see missiles approaching, you're flipping that switch and sending them FAA-ward!

This is getting out of hand. You seriously hope Magnacor has some clue what the DIVUNER does, because you sure don't.

You then set your SHRINK RAY in reverse and fire it at Magnacor's TINY ETCH-A-SKETCH to turn it into the ETCH-A-SKETCH. You take your own ETCH-A-SKETCH out as well. You set them both into SCREWDRIVER mode and hand Magnacor's back to him with a sarcastic look.

You begin putting in screws with one hand on each knob and request Magnacor do the same. Seriously, do I have to solve everything for you?

You throw one STOPPICKINGUPTHE ROCK to your feet in disgust. You take the ammo-less curling iron, rip the tape off of the battery compartment, pick up your rock, and slap the tape over the metal plate. Can we do something useful now?

Ooh, there's a SHINY ROCK! You add it to your collection.

nupanick said...

Wait, Magnacor's JACK KNIFE won't work anyway since he took parts out of it to fix the PLASMA CANNON.

You offer Magnacor the AMMO from the REMOTE CONTROL, since you haven't had a chance to use it anyway.

Unknown said...

Pick up the gun with your mouth.

nupanick said...

Remembering your rock collection and Magnacor's intelligence, you remind him that the PLASMA RIFLE and the PLASMA CANNON probably use similar ammunitions. Which is why you suggested he take both the REMOTE CONTROL and the MECHANICAL PENCIL. Since you used the MECHANICAL PENCIL's AMMO to fix the SHRINK RAY.

Actually, you can probably just take the rest of the LINEARLY EXTRUDED CARBON out of the POKEBALL and use it to power the PLASMA CANNON.

We've moved so many parts around I'm surprised we don't have a screw left over...

Oh, wait.

Nupanick picks up the four fallen TINY SCREWS from the CURLING IRON's battery compartment and stashes them in his INVENTORY.

You again wonder where the RED HERRING LIGHTBOX has gotten too, but decide it doesn't really matter now that FAA is on his last health bar (and has been for quite some time now).

Eh, nevermind.

"...now that FAA is on his last health bar."

Technically, there's only been the one. I just have a rediculously high, forever increasing, regenerative ARMOR stat.

Or would, but for these MAGMA BURNS.

[You wonder why you haven't thought to use the HOSPITAL KEY to cure your MAGMA BURNS before now.]
___________________________________

FAA: Cure MAGMA BURNS.

You can't! You lost your INFINITY KEYRING, remember?

You still can't feel your arms.

Retrieve arms from beneath RUBBLE.

Oh, there they are. Now, then, your KEYS...

META-IMAGINARY THOUGHTSPIKE

Oh, yeah.

FAA: Retrieve INFINITY KEYRING from underneath RUBBLE.

You wonder how you completely failed to see your INFINITY ARSENAL underneath the rubble before. I mean, it's not what you'd call small.
Or easily lost.

It's a stockpile of just about every weapon in existence, after all.

You equip the INFINITY KEYRING to your WEAPON SLOT.

Magnacor said...

You begin the CHARGING SEQUENCE for your laser. God these stall tactics are really dragging this out. Maybe you should watch the VERY EXCITING VIDEO to pass the time.

Magnacor said...

MAGNA: FAIL faster

Your second failed attempt at linking something has you feeling a bit like a loser. Next time for sure...

nupanick said...

Nupanick's high RESOURCEFULNESS attribute is tempered only by his increasingly low PATIENCE. He begins trying to think of a clever way to charge that laser faster before FAA gets one more shot in. Perhaps the speed of light has something to do with it? Nah, let's not go down that road.

You look for the GIANT BLUE HERRING POSTER but it seems the force of the crumbling walls has caused it to land face down. With your other portals deactivated, your ELEVATOR KEY is working again. You creat a portal on the ETCH-A-SKETCH screen and link it to the GIANT BLUE HERRING POSTER. You see a solid wall inside.

Suddenly you realize that your ETCH-A-SKETCH is much smaller than the GIANT BLUE HERRING POSTER. You reach into the screen and a giant finger protrudes from the POSTER. A good flick could flip over the poster. Or curl it up.

Nupanick gets another MAD GRIN but decides not to leave it as a cliffhanger because Magnacor would probably miss the point.

You reach out of the POSTER with your hand at giant scale and low resolution. You have created the ETCH-A-SKETCH MASTERHAND.

The poster curls around your MASTERHAND, completely blocking you from doing anything useful. You try to move around on your fingertips, but suddenly the familiarity of the situation occurs to you.

You hastily pull your hand out.

nupanick said...

Nupanick ducks behind his UNDISPUTED ARGUMENT, which can only broken with a really good COUNTER ARGUMENT, and starts devising a contrived scheme to deal another blow to FAA.

You FUEL the POKEBALL with the CRYSTALS from the PLASMA RIFLE.

You link the ETCH-A-SKETCH to the RED HERRING LIGHTBOX, then ENLARGE the ETCH-A-SKETCH to climb inside. You enter the CALIGNOUS VOID to retrieve some of the weapons you may or may not have ever finished building.

What SPARE PLASMA CANNON?
What CAST-IRON PRE-CARVED SCHEMA PUMPKIN?
What GUITAR-FLOWER SEEDS?
What TEAMMATE INTELLIGENCE ENHANCER?
What ANTI-PLOTHOLE SPRAY?

It appears most of your cool ideas aren't here right now, and probably never will be. You do manage to find your KEYCHAIN GRAVITY GUN, which you bring with you back to the battle. You shrink the ETCH-A-SKETCH to normal size and stick one hand through while you use the other to shoot the GIANT BLUE HERRING POSTER with the LAUNCH KEY.

You now have a properly levitating MASTER HAND, which you use to start throwing your large collection of BOULDERS at FAA, aiming for the INFINITY KEYRING.

Ahh! You've lost a hand to that twist move! And the beams are still locked!

This looks like a time to use the PRE-CARVED CAST-IRON SCHEMA PUMPKIN which is sitting on top of your ETCH-A-SKETCH and probably has been for quite some time.

GAMBIT SCHEMA: PULL-TAFFY PIRATE!
You become considerably stretchier and more durable. You gain a HOOK HAND to cover your FLESH WOUND and equip a PIRATE RAPIER as your weapon. Plus your CAST-IRON SCHEMA PUMPKIN is immune to rotting, which is why you designed it in the first place.

You equip the UNDISPUTED ARGUMENT as your SHIELD and prepare your PARRY in case it is shattered.

Unfortunately you're still not sure how this helps Magnacor but at least you're not quite so useless in battle.

Well, technically, a number of KEYS of quantity INFINITY is more than a number of KEYS said to total 9 multiplied by 10 to the 3rd power, but I'll let it slide this time.

You realize that an INFINITE number of KEYS, each firing at less than MAXIMUM POWER, is less than MAXIMUM INFINITY.

MAGNA: Flip the fuck out!

First he misspells your name and THEN he misspells 'misspelled?' Not only did he make the amateurish mistake of adding a 't' in place of an 'ed,' but he only added one 's.' You only had one piece of paper so you can't write him an UNPLEASANT NOTE, but you glare at the message with disdain in hopes that he feels your waves of disgust through the internet.

_____________

FAA: Look confused as to why MAGNA is till winning the battle

MAGNA: Explain

Sensing FAA's (or NTA's depending on whether or not he still exists) confusion, you tell him that while his INFINITY ARSENAL might have every KEY in the universe operating at MAXIMUM INFINITY POWER, but you (meaning MAGNA) are not using a KEY. You inform FAA that you are actually using a much more powerful LASER POINT PEN which has MAXIMUM INFINITY AND ONE POWER. He will have to increase his power past MAXIMUM INFINITY if he hopes to beat you.

nupanick said...

>NN: Use your cool stuff to help MAGNA.

You realize that that PLASMA CANNON would probably do more damage if it was bigger. But no PULL-TAFFY PIRATE would be caught alive using a POKEBALL in battle!

However, that fractal-like infinity attack seems to be confirming the nature of fractals here: finite area. An infinite number of weapons deal an insanely large, yet finite, amount of damage.

Nupanick considers proving this via OVEN LOGIC but realizes that that would defeat the point of carrying a logic SHIELD.

So, how else to help? Ooh, that's it!

Using your PIRATE HOARDING INSTINCT you search through the rubble and find a GIANT FLAT ROCK, probably broken off of one of the STOPCHUCKINGTHE BOULDERS.

While you're at it, you may as well pick up some more STOPPICKINGUPTHE ROCKS and that weird shiny crystal thing sitting in a pile of dust.

You've got a giant, flat, non-metallic surface. Now you just need some portals. I guess if it's not directly aggressive you may as well use your ELEVATOR KEY. You prop the GIANT FLAT ROCK up against the JAWBREAKER DOME using your PIRATE STRENGTH and attempt to think with portals like a pirate.

This is proving rather difficult.

You, um, fire the doubles? Launch the holey blotches? Is there even a word for what you're about to do?

Aw, screw this. You continue with your original, contrived, portal-based battle tactic. You put two portals side-by-side on the GIANT FLAT ROCK and make sure they point towards FAA. Just in case.

Then you go find MAGNA's old broken ETCH-A-SKETCH. He took the STYLUS out of it, but it still has a cool SCREEN. You create a second ETCH-A-SKETCH portal, and link the two ETCH-A-SKETCH SCREENS to the GIANT FLAT ROCK portals. You grab the ROLL OF TAPE which has been in plain view this entire time and tape the ETCH-A-SKETCHES together, back-to-back, creating a largish DOUBLE PORTAL, both sides of which are connected to the GIANT FLAT ROCK PORTALS pointing at FAA.

You think that everyone should have a good idea what you plan to do now, but you don't fully trust MAGNA to figure it out yet, so you implement for your totally original battle technique on your own.

With your low PIRATE SELF-PRESERVATION, you climb to a pile of rubble almost directly below the POINT OF BEAM COLLISION and hold your DUAL-SCREEN PORTAL high in one hand.

You levitate it with your GRAVITY GUN with the other hand.

And redirect BOTH LASERS at FAA.

Magna, you brought this one on yourself:

With PIRATE WIT, you quip:

IT'S OVER MAXIMUM INFINITY!

You take the opportunity to knock politely on the door of the JAWBREAKER DOME and ask BA if he would like to help form an impromptu caucus.

You then fire waves of gratitude through NN's LAPTOP in hopes that whoever lives in this fortress is on the internet so he can feel exactly how thankful you are for him having a mailbox.

You only hope that Nunpanick can escape FAA's blast too. You never even got a chance to POSE AS A TEAM with him...

OH CRAP. YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING.

Superinfinity beats any multiple of ALEPH-NULL anyday.

EXCEPT THAT THE WHOLE THING IS STILL BEING ENLARGED AND REDIRECTED THROUGH THE DAMN ETCH-A-SKETCH.

SO WE SHOULD BE AT SUPERINFINITY + INFINITY + ONE against SUPERINFINITY.

It's a small difference, relatively speaking, but I think we beat you with the redirect maneuver.

You also point out that, since you are NOT firing head-on at the beam, it's not really SI=====O==I, but more like

FAA O ======== I+I+1
SI
||
||
O
EAS
O
||
||
M

Well, now that you've compounded it, it's

FAA O ======== SI+I+1
SI
||
||
O
EAS
O
||
||
M

In case it wasn't ENTIRELY CLEAR where I'm redirecting from, it's NOT right next to where MAGNA's firing from.

nupanick said...

Nupanick watches MAGNA duck out of the way of the SUPERINFINITE BEAM which is obviously being redirected through the ETCH-A-SKETCH, through the GIANT FLAT ROCK PORTALS leaned against the JAWBREAKER DOME, and being blasted at FAA from the side.

Nupanick shrugs and ducks out of the way with him, shifting his EYEPATCH to protect his LEFT EYE from the META-FRACTAL PARADOX.

This is happening so fast now, you're not sure if it all makes sense, but you think ducking might be a good idea. You shield Magnacor behind your UNDISPUTED ARGUMENT, again with your PARRY ready in case of a surprise disproof.

Fractalescent Anti-Author said...

Were you not paying attention?

...Oh, wait, it's Nupanick we're talking about.

Firstly, what amounts to clones doesn't actually increase the POWER of the BEAM itself, but rather creates MULTIPLE BEAMS firing from all different angles.

Secondly, why do you think I would keep firing into a PORTAL which is so obviously redirecting my own beam back at me?

The answer is of course that a SUGGESTIONS BOX isn't automatically accompanied by PICTURES.

Thanks for the clarification and all, but I'm gonna hafta saaaaaaaaaaaaay...

No.

There is no "Dual Beam Redirect" because (since your plan was so incredibly obvious from the beginning) I clearly turned to force back the beams coming at me... changing the path of my BEAM such that it was no longer being REDIRECTED.

Viewed in this new light, there's absolutely no reason I should have used the OLD GOLDEN KEY.

But because you weren't entirely clear the first time, there's now a rather large number of angry, insulted FAAs trying to kill you before you reach the sanctuary of the JAWBREAKER DOME.

Oops.

This is RETCON and I will not stand for it! Even Magnacor should have been able to figure out that since the JAWBREAKER DOME was specificaly placed out of the way from the battle, the GIANT FLAT STONE leaning against it should not be pointing into FAA's beam attack! So you messed with time to create clones who fired in all directions, that I'll accept, and one of those beams happened to cancel out the one coming through the GIANT FLAT ROCK portals, so of course you are no longer being fired at, and the situation is unchanged, but you don't have to go and pretend you saw it coming retroactively, because if you had you would have lost concentration while redirecting your beam and been hit by Magnacor's blast in the first place!

So, all things accounted for, Magnacor and I are standing outside the JAWBREAKER DOME, I'm shielding us with the UNDISPUTED ARGUMENT, and you're firing in all directions.

Although, since a wormhole with infinite area would suck in the whole universe (which has not happened), it must have had finite area, so it could only copy you a limited number of times before you and all your copies couldn't fit through the wormhole to return to the present once more.

So there's an extremely large BUT NOT INFINITE number of beams firing in all directions, meaning that this "superinfinity" you speak of is not really relevant.

Also, what laptop?

BA has entered the battle! You offer him one of two options:
1) Return into his fort, where he will be granted DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY to our attacks.
2) Join the battle, POST AS A TEAM, and help defeat the anti-author once and for all.

While BA decides, you launch your ATTACK OF COINCIDENTAL CONVENIENCE:

I think it's perfectly reasonable to say the part-pickles just aren't going to the afterlife. Remember, GPI caused the TEMPORAL REPLICSIMLIE AD INFINITUM to happen. He is the god of that universe, maybe he just decided they wouldn't." "

This is the Plausible Argument.

And it IS Plausible. It "works" in that there it cannot be proven OR disproven.

As I stated before, GPI doesn't really take interest in thing that aren't imminent threats to the Whole of Creation.

But...

There is... another... point which I wish to bring up.

It is this.

Specifically, the phrase:
"It seems all the imaginary Pickle Inspectors have finally caught up with each other in the afterlife."

"Caught up".

What I am suggesting is that...
Oh boy...
Is that all of a Replicsimilie's parts must die for them to all end up in the Afterlife at the same time.

This... gets... weird.

Because the Whole of Creation is made of Part-Pickles, the Whole of Creation will have to end before any of these fellows can end up in the Afterlife, which they will all do simultaneously.

...But.

The Afterlife is part of the Whole of Creation. It, too, will need to have ceased to exist... before The Part-Pickles can go to it.

Therefore, the Part-Pickles will still go to the Afterlife, just after the end of time...
When the Afterlife no longer exists...

It's incredibly confusing.

____

Now, before we all came to an agreement that the moment where the four PI's used TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE AD INFINITUM was the exact center of the timeline, meaning the moment with the most matter. This is because that with every action there is to be an equal and opposite reaction. This would mean that the PI's must be placed an equal distance (in time) apart from the moment they used TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE. If that happened, then the first time they used TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE AD INFINITUM would be the center of time.
Now if most of the matter in the universe existed at this exact moment, then that would mean that the largest amount of PI's slain by the effects of TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE would exist at this point in time as well. But wait! If more PI's have to die at this precise moment in order to keep up the effects of TEMPORAL REPLICSIMILE, then technically more would exist in the afterlife after this moment which would mean that this is not the centerpiece of time and there never will be because the universe is constantly increasing in matter. But AH already said that was not the case so where do you go from here? I think that the only explanation is that matter simply disappears. Much like how HIGGS BONEHEAD simply dissipated into nothing (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=001611), matter must be disappearing for AH's law to be proved correct. Not dying. Disappearing. Perhaps they're going to the CALLIGINOUS VOID where things that may or may not exist end up.
This would explain how the PI's could hypothetically die without going to the afterlife.

NN's DISPUTED ARGUMENT changes back to the UNDISPUTED ARGUMENT and gains more DURABILITY.

It seems that the counter-argument failed miserably, as the iPIs in that scene had been together for a while and were "catching up" by talking about what was happening outside the afterlife. Sharing stories, if you will. So this point completely fails to address your POINT.

However, you bring up an interesting point that may have actually STRENGTHENED the argument!

"GPI doesn't really take interest in thing that aren't imminent threats to the Whole of Creation."

if all the iPIs went to the afterlife, even the matter-accumulation-process TIERS, then the universe would become so massive that it would collapse upon itself, and everyone would be powerless to stop it. This counts as imminent because GPI sees everything (as I assume will soon be demonstrated as his OGLE zooms in on reality, possibly on AH's house). DMK was not an imminent threat because GPI in his infinite wisdom knew that, given a fighting chance, PS and the others would defeat him.

But nobody but GPI has any power over what happens to the part-pickles now, so when they were created they must have been given the instructions and ability to split without sending copies to the afterlife. This is plausible, possible, and in fact completely consistent with the data thus far.

FAA has just aided your argument! You remember he once took an opportunity to attack while his argument sunk into your impatient mind. This seems like sufficient justification for dramatic irony on your part. Now for a suitably visible object to use as a final weapon...

Oh yeah, your HAT COLLECTION! Magnacor destroyed it, but you can probably still salvage something from the CALIGNOUS VOID! You reach for your etch-a-sketch...

...oh. Right.

Nupanick scratches his head in confusion. OW!

You had completely forgotten about the HOOK that you replaced your HAND with! You load the shiny crystals you picked up earlier into your CANON-CANNON and invite MAGNA and BA to stand alongside you and fire simultaniously.

You PARRY the failed DISPUTE and add your pirate QUIP for a DAMAGE MULTIPLIER:

"THE FRIENDS OF THE ENEMY OF THE CLONE OF MY ENEMY ARE MY ALLIES, SO WE PUT A RESOLVING ARGUMENT IN YOUR PLOTHOLE SO YOU CAN FAIL LOGIC FOREVER WHILE WE DISCUSS CANON, MATEY!"

The resulting DRAMATIC IRONY, CONFUSICATION, and WEAPON POWER are totalled and multiplied by the QUIP MODIFIER for a total of UNDEFINED AWESOMENESS, which is more than enough to counter any number of INFINITY KEYRINGS.

Wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait.

How the hell did I miss that?!

Though your facts are slightly off, your point is more valid than you may realize...

I stated as one of my MAIN POINTS for the existence of a PLOTHOLE that for the MASS OF THE UNIVERSE OVER TIME chart to be accurate, that "incoming" PART-PICKLES would need to die almost instantly upon "arriving" and be replaced by other "incoming" PART-PICKLES of the same type.

Thus, as TIME goes towards the MIDDLE, PART-PICKLES are "arriving" from both the PAST and FUTURE, whereas when time approaches the ENDS, PART-PICKLES can only "arrive" from one direction.

I had believed that this could not be so, because all those PART-PICKLES would have to die and end up in the AFTERLIFE...

However, there's a bit of information that I totally missed. You actually got it wrong when you said

"Much like how HIGGS BONEHEAD simply dissipated into nothing..."

The BONEHEAD didn't dissappear.

"He dissipates into a soup of constituent PART-PICKLES..."

"...which then dissipate into nothing."

That's right. Matter has been confirmed to be vanishing, quote, into nothing all along, making the whole basis of my argument null and void.

Now that we've got a How, we just need a Why.

I totally didn't think of the whole UNIVERSE-collapses-in-upon-itself-because-it-contains-more-MASS-than-it-ever-had-in-the-first-place scenario.

Which is kinda ironic,
viewed from the right perspective.

So there's the Why.

Hm. What were you doing all this time?

After the last few weeks of endless DEBATING you might want to settle down for a simpler life. Starting your own CABLE NEWS STATION might not be a bad idea. Especially if they have free MEDICAL INSURANCE since you really need to get your eyes checked.

Because DEATH'S OFFICE can't exist in two places at once.

See, there's only one DOOR TO DEATH, but two FLOWERS. The one that held DEATH'S OFFICE was sucked into a BLACK HOLE.

The other one...

Actually, I've always wondered if there's any point for GPI's LOWER SELF to exist, other than "it looks neat".

So, I guess that's over. I didn't even have to blow up the universe to finish before the new comic started!

Hmm. I'm still wondering about the Higgs though, would it really matter if--

EVERYONE ELSE covers Nupanick's mouth, except for Magnacor who settles for hitting him in the back of the head. Don't you DARE start that shit again.

...but seriously, that was fun.
BA, it's nupa...@hotmail.com

P.S. Ahh, the power of previewing! I just got NTA's finishing argument. Of course the Part-pickles dissipate into nothing! Nice catch!

After AD gets eaten by the monster at the end, you could make PS "Kick down walls of fort." Then, "Turn on window." Then, "Climb out of window and kill monster"

Well that was fun. It was a good diversion to entertain us until the next MSPA, to say the least.

Who thought it would be a good idea to build a bridge that tall? Who was in charge of that decision?

Because, and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm fairly sure that bridges can be a bit unstable at times, and building one where there's always heavy winds (i.e. at high altitudes) just kinda seems like a...
Whassa word...

Bad idea.
