Y'know, Amber did say fire solves everything quite a bit.

Oooh... that's interesting. Maybe part of why Dark P. seemed to suffer from villain decay was because he lost a bit of himself each time he came back. That's very interesting.
He really should have thought of that though, shouldn't he?

the soul can't handle being disembodied without consequence.. the cycle of life, death, and rebirth is a good thing for a soul.
Now, there is one of the grand delusions of many heroes exposed by Kria- prove yourself good by giving your enemy a decent burial! Such a wrong conduct, bad guys are known to resurrect themselves from time to time, so to prevent that one should make sure they die in a great quantity of little pieces! Or ash!

Hey, the Vikings had FINE burials.
For no readily apparent reason, this comic made me think of the song There's a Hole in My Bucket. :S
I prefer acid for disposal of a body fire dose not distroy them fully. Plus it more heroic to throw a thing of acid at a live enemy then to spend a hour to completely burn a body.
Of course, burning doesn't solve much of anything if your enemy happens to be something like a phoenix, raising (or reborn) from their ashes. Unless scattering the ashes afterward would prevent it, that might make it a bit more difficult to come back.

Fire solves everything =D
My suggestion: Cremate DP, Feed the ashes to a shark, cremate the shark, then scatter the shark's ashes at sea during a storm.
Problem solved ^o^
Ooh, I feel sorry for DP now.
cremation, ooh... Someone's been reading the evil overlords' handbook (http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html).(Item 13) :B
Oh, Kria FTW.

Has she forgotten about their duel? Wouldn't she want to at last settle the matter of who's better before he gets cremated?

You can always kill a phoenix with something like liquid nitrogen, then! Freeze it, then shatter into thousands of tiny bits! :B
I'm guessing Kria's come to the realization that DP is dead for good now, or something of the same meaning in better words.
This opens up the rather horrible notion that Dan himself is somewhat responsible for DP becoming a full-fledged villain rather than just someone of dubious moral outlook.

Well, that explains why the once genre-savvy DP has descended into cliche villain-ness.
So... freeze the body and shatter it to pieces, then incinerate the remains with thermite, and dump any ashes from that in an acid bath.

Also, they can destroy DP's corpse. It'd be easier and less horrific than trying to cremate him while he's still alive :U

Hm... Two things. One, how about simply Charcoal + liquid oxygen, then toss a match on the mass and watch the flames. If Youtube has shown me anything, its that Charcoal and liquid oxygen make a really spectacular, really hot, extremely fast burning pyre.
Two, stop thinking like humans - Why not simply steal the guys soul and eat it for energy - Or sell it to a Cubi or other creature who can do the same. Remember: Waste not, want not.
Also Tape, it may be a little different in your case - With DP, there has been no attempt to to keep the soul 'fresh' or anything(and was buried[I think] with his body), whereas in your case, the soul went immediately into a holding gem. Just a thought.

Because that's arguably as bad or worse than what DP was doing. Dan doesn't want to turn into a monster, and I doubt even Kria would be happy at having her brother's soul destroyed forever, damaged though it may be. I certainly wouldn't be (says the person who's gone on numerous soul-stealing rampages in Oblivion).

Makes sense, too. :. However, I originally (before it turned out Dan was at Kria's place) expected that Dan would face off against Pegasus and "take" his soul by accident, trying to use his Cubi powers to gain an upper hand in battle.

I'm really not convinced it's something you can just figure out on the fly with no prior experience or guidance. Particularly since Dan doesn't even like to cast spells.
QuoteHey, but all those souls are safely preserved in stones, not destroyed or devoured! :B
Not to drag this off-topic, but most of them went to power the enchanted sword I was using to get more souls, a horrific sort of perpetual motion. No, I didn't save afterwards.
"If at first you don't succeed, you're not using enough napalm."
Dan should have done to DP what Tousen did to Grimmjow's arm. Hado 54 and then ash.
Yeah, Bleach reference, I know. But still, Dan. You gotta figure these things out!

i would have preferred the ancient and extremely thorough method of vampire disposal practiced by my ancestors
step 1- get angry mob
step 2- get angry mob roaring drunk, belligerent, and violent
step 3- arm angry mob, chopping weapons for preference, preferably at distance
step 4- locate vampire, most likely this step has already been done before taking the time to assemble a mob now you just have to steer about thirty drunks
step 5- unleash angry mob until vampire is suitably mobbed, avert eyes from what amounts to gang rape
step 6- locate remains, this may take some time and a shovel
step 7- ensure that the following are not attached to anything- arms, legs, head, heart
step 8- bury head under road in center of town, send runners to bury limbs in completely different towns preferably under road without being arrested for being creepy
step 9- boil heart in wine, then have entire town drink the wine
step 10- char heart to ash and scatter into river
ive looked the whole world round, that's by far the most thorough method of killing anything- it leaves such weird traditions of carrots in the ear or poppy seeds down the pants looking kinda pansy in comparison
I dunno. Personally, I'd be charring the remains to ash in 7 different ovens, and spreading each bit of ash into a different river, if you want them _really_ dead.
It still involves fire, though.
regular cremation leaves you with a jar of instant villain, just add fluids.
consensus- scatter remains, preferably in the most exotic and wide method possible
come to think of it even more thorough would be to add the ash into, say, a sausage, baked good, or drink mix with a roadside stand somewhere that a lot of travelers go past like the airport or the UN.
creepy factor off the scale, but you would have essentially dumped the corpse into about three hundred different acid vats heading to different places

Ahh cremation. A really sensible method for space concerns, what with cemeteries getting quite full nowadays.
Furrae probably doesn't have this problem, seeing as though The Dark Pegasus uprooted quite a few of their residence half a dozen decades ago.
Cremation is my preferable burial method. Mostly because I like so much processed food it would be cool if my body flash burned, possibly hot enough to cause damage. >:3

You know, I'm wondering if you're actually capable of English.
Aww, don't be mean, llearch.
...
The other option is I just straight out ban, Eagle. Would you prefer that applied to you? I'm happy to make an exception. Just say the word.
As for GundamDragon, he's been warned that we prefer coherence. He hasn't provided any indication that he has any problems understanding the warning, so we've presumed that he's a relatively normal adult, and capable of using the spellchecker, or learning to communicate with other ape-like beings that are outside his head. At this point, the jury is still waiting for the concept that he is not the center of the world to sink into the soggy grey matter between his ears, and that the other forum-goers don't particularly care to expend huge amounts of effort attempting to figure out what obscure idea happened to decide to claw it's way past his fractured grammar and make itself known, and hence everyone else would probably prefer it if he tried a little harder.
I'm attempting to bring this idea to his attention, using small words, because the polysyllabic ones I, and Damaris, used last time seemed to bounce off.
I await the results of this little experiment with anticipation and trepidation.
Was there anything else you wished to discuss with the mods, while I'm here?
Maybe a series of diagrams would help?
:inglesh
Sorry, llearch. I'll shut up now.
Don't get me wrong, I welcome discussion over moderation, if you feel it warranted.
This probably isn't the right place to do it, though. ;-]
the difference between polite discussion and a a flame war is a fine line you could march an army across, its known as heated discussion and anyone who cant realize when they have gone too far is probably in need of a bucket of cold water or a hit from a tazer
now i can understand when someone needs a mod, every once in a while, to poke them and say 'please stop' but anyone who does not listen after that i feel no pity for.
now, how far are we from the original topic? both in time and in thread wander
as for how far this thread has wandered I would say it has wandered 9000+ miles to the east. Now let me help get it back on track by saying that if Dan was to have learned how to cast fire onto a sword than he could easily slay all of his enemy's without the worry of them coming back. hope this helps

Doubtful he'd even need to learn that. It's a fair bet that enchanted weapons are at the very least, a popular cottage industry, more likely a billion-dollar business.

the difference between polite discussion and a a flame war is a fine line you could march an army across, its known as heated discussion and anyone who cant realize when they have gone too far is probably in need of a bucket of cold water or a hit from a tazer
Or both, water followed by tazer. :mowdizzy

It'd still be a good skill to know. In a fight, you could lose your good weapons and have just a normal one available. Being able to cast an enchantment around a weapon could make the difference between survival and death if the enemy is invulnerable to mundane (non-magic) weapons.

"Here at Crazy Carl's used Magika!...."
Dwarg makes a point, though. Enchanted weapons would be bought by the same people as normal weapons, just higher up on the line. So you could probably make money selling both in the same shop. Since you could make money doing it, it's likely you shall find someone selling enchanted weapons and normal weapons in the same shop.
Then again, maybe that paragraph is unintelligible. Please tell me if it is.
To return slightly to topic, even if DP's body was soaked in acid, burned, ionised, frozen, shattered, atomised and/or scattered in a million different ways, I still think there's one thing that could still bring him back to life...

Well, it's where he's linked it from. A back-link might have been nice, though.
For those who've never played the game, there is one of these on almost every deck of the space station. When activated, you are 'healed' in one of these each time you die. Even if you lock yourself in a lift and detonate a pile of fifty hand grenades or jump into the core of a fusion reactor.

During World War II, my father and some people from his mine-clearing group once detonated a pile of fifty German anti-tank mines. It apparently set off a mine that was still on the road, which set off the mine next to it, which set off the mine next to it, which (you get the picture). He said it was very impressive watching the explosions march down the road. Fortunately, the area had been cleared during the mine-clearing operation and there were no injuries.
They're usually set up to chain like that. That way, you get the list of people in the middle of the stack before you set off the end one, and you get the whole line of tanks to blow up.
If you get it right, it's very destructive. It's also quite tricky to do, since the other side are trying just as hard as you are, only the other way.
War does not determine who is right. Only who is left!

So that's one reason bridges weren't blown until enemy armor showed up in some cases? Or am I thinking in circles. Sounds like if you could get the mines far enough apart and have the first one as the trigger, I'm probably just rewording this, you could blow up a battalion of tanks on one stretch of road, and if the road is dirt and you have a sufficiently large tractor at your disposal you could probably keep doing it. Which to me sounds hilarious, in a theoretical 'Gotcha!' method. Especially the 'Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.' principle.
Did I mention I'm contemplating being USN EOD? Essentially the same job as Naldru's father had in the military. Mines are nasty things, and I'm not glad to contemplate their existance, but taking out an enemy's means to defeat your comrades twice just seems very satisfying.
Actually, my understanding was that these were tread-buster type mines (They were designed to go off right under the tread. This would knock out one or two links, immobilizing the tank.) and were lined up along the two sides of the road. They weren't supposed to be so close together and it was the concussion of the first large group of mines going off that set off the others. (If they hadn't set off such a large pile of mines in the first explosion, it wouldn't have started the chain reaction.) However, what you said gave me an idea that the Germans had planned to launch a few artillery shells at a group of tanks going along the road. The tanks would have then hit the mines on the side of the road as they turned off the road in evasive action.
The big one for being chained together were the Claymore mines. When the enemy reached the end of the mined area, you would set off a large group of Claymores, killing many people in the middle.
Actually, ordinance disposal is one area where computers have made a big difference. The disposal teams were supposed to keep records of all types of devices going back to the American Civil War. (Every so often, they actually do come across mines from that war.) When it was on paper manuals, it filled two filing cabinets. Now, it can be placed on a single laptop.

We try to keep the dates standard, so that it's easy to read the subject lines. That's probably why the switch. They'll also go in and fix things if its not spaced correctly, etc.

ISO format also has the subtle advantage of not getting confused with UK format...
