Welcome to Cliff-Land.
Lots going on, most of it good stuff, but nothing fully developed enough to reveal yet. So... on to video games. I've had a bit of a dark humor lately. Probably from watching "Better off Ted" Stupid name for funny as hell show by the way.
Anyway I started playing some older games that let me be a bit evil. In age of wonders II, I found a trick to gain an extra time through creative use of necromancy. In the game, when you take a city, if you convert it to your peoples faction, it takes 4 days (turns). This stops my army from slaughtering opponents, and as such is not an ideal situation. However, it takes no turns to raze the city to the ground, and then just animate the dead to populate the city! Everybody wins! By everybody I mean me. Obviously they don't win, unless they really REALLY like craving brains and being my mindless slaves.
In Black and White 2 on the other hand, you get to be evil with a dark sense of humor that is just fun. You play a god, which is a good start for an egomaniac. In the land where I am god, here are a few rules to help you live a bit longer.
1. Don't piss me off. Things that may piss me off and make me kill you include but are not limited to: Not being where you are supposed to, now cowering appropriately when you see the evil hand of god, not being suitably impressed by my lighting miracles, being in my line of sight, being nearby when something else annoys me, being in my way(or within easy reach) when I feel like killing something.
2. Don't stand near anything I want to die. I'm not that specific when I throw fire/lighting/lava/HUGE rocks/people about to be corpses at my enemies. Or my friends.
3. This might surprise people who know me and my love of burgers, but cows are sacred in my land. Well, not cows in the plural sense. But there is one sacred cow. She's also a one hundred foot high carnivorous death machine, which contributes very much to her sacredness. Best to cower when she walks by too. She will probably eat you anyway, but hey, she might not too. If she poos on your head, and make no mistake, she will, think yourself lucky.
4. Don't go near the prison or torture pit. Seriously, that is just not smart.
These are not a surefire way to not die of course, I've got an evil reputation to maintain. Enjoy your stay in Cliff-land, and GET BACK TO WORK!
