Rorschach galaxy generation

[Wydraz]

You know you're bored when you spend half an hour playing with the settings of the SEIV quadrant map for a new game just to get a nice constellation. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

So far, I have a boy playing fetch with his dog, a dancing chicken, a leaping lemur, a reclining robot.... I bet Rorschach would have some uses for this. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Inkblots, Narf!

What picture do you see in these random blots (http://www.deltabravo.net/custody/rorschach.htm)?
What does this random Galaxy map look like?

[Wydraz]

Exactly. For example, what do you see in this quadrant?

[Kamog]

I see a bad bicycle accident.

[Wydraz]

LOL!

Good one; that really made me laugh.

Anyone have any good random maps they can post pictures of? This could be fun. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Stick guy flying over the handlebars, possibly with a severed limb...

well, i read that first, but i can't see how it could be anything else.

[Wydraz]

Well, I thought it looked like a boy throwing a stick and his dog chasing after it. I guess that makes me nuts? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Wydraz]

Alright, here is another.

[Taera]

looks like a boy holding a ..bat?.. and preparing to hit ..something... coming onto him.

[primitive]

This one is easy.

It's an adolescent male Nirgash (also known as the dragons of Xiban 4), chasing a flock of Orgagits to present as a mating gift. You can clearly see from the clumsy technique of the Nirgash that the he is not succeding, and that he will not mate this season either. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Wydraz is nuts.

[Kamog]

It's a samurai warrior who just sliced up a flying arrow with his katana sword.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

hey, yeah.

[Alneyan]

I saw some remote systems which will promote the use of Warp Openers. Erh... are you supposed to see something else? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I hate this kind of test with a passion. What happens if, after the ten plates, you didn't see anything? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[dogscoff]

That Last one is a person riding a bufallo.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

chair riding a buffalo.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">huh?

[Alneyan]

There are ten plates, or figures, in the usual test. I was merely asking what it is supposed to mean if you don't see anything in any of these ten pictures. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif (Nothing at all that is)

[Ruatha]

If you see nothing at all you get the diagnose : Blind

Next one...

[primitive]

No thats just sick. Shame on you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

a bird looking at a falling worm.

[Suicide Junkie]

One of those facehuggers from Aliens, attacking Neo as he does that bullet-dodging bend-over-backwards move.

[Fyron]

You need to release that map! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Wydraz]

Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! How many times did you hit the 'generate map' button to get that one? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

[Jack Simth]

It would be a pain to start in one of the two unconnected systems.

Odd though - aren't there supposed to be little blue gridlines? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Fyron]

You can turn those off. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Actually, you could use those systems to create a challange against the AI. It gets to build up for decades while you develop and build a WP opener. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[dogscoff]

Looks to me like a Kwyjibo.

[Wydraz]

Anyway, here's another random quadrant (not a photopaint job)... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1062632846.gif

Though I would like to see a real Homer Quadrant map to play on...

[narf poit chez BOOM]

spiderweb. or something made with k'nex, when somebody got bored.

if you don't know what k'nex are, think tinkertoys, only more elaborate. if you don't know what tinkertoys are, think of constructs. if you don't know what constructs are, i've run out of things to compare them to.

[Suicide Junkie]

"Carpenter's LEGO"?
With beams, bolts and stuff instead of bricks, perhaps?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

never heard of it.

[Wydraz]

What? You don't see an old man with a funny hat carrying a bomb?

[Kamog]

Sure, I see an old man wearing a funny hat with an antenna, carrying on his back a... um... a giant ant.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

you know, you might have something there.
