Fantastic work, Cap, I still got a chuckle despite knowing the joke. Of course, you posting that forces me to get back to work on this :(

Spoiler Previously on... :
Last Time in the Gnoman Empire: Kan', Till, Captain2 and Geoff have joined forces, and now seek to discover the gnomes ultimate plan...


 
Maybe I'll have to finally stop being lazy and make a comic again. Maybe I can also make Garry's Mod work with the force of will and promises of sacrifices to the computer gods.
 
Be sure to have plenty of incense. The Machine Spirits will be displeased if you don't.

But then again, you might need that incense to increase the effects of your Cathedrals... decisions, decisions.

Double tribute all the way!!
 
Aw man, I'm all hella kinds honored by this. I'm really glad to see that DYOS hasn't forgotten me, and rest assured that I have not forgotten you all, either. I swear, one of these days, I'm gonna have to catch up again on all the shenanigans you lot have gotten into and make a return.
 







 


Just finally getting rid of the last Hacker Clone I was fighting.

I can totally write better stories than this, I swear, but my never-ending computer problems sap my creative juices.

Interesting note: This image is titled "DYOSXI14" which means I've made roughly 1 comic per 10 pages of this thread.

Excellent work guys. :goodjob:
Although I almost panicked there CG you were wrapping things up quickly. Glad to see I can still get my plot resolved. :lol:

I'll get to a comic... perhaps tomorrow... that's if other factors don't hinder me, like Starcraft II and New Vegas!
 


You are MYTHMONSTER2, SUPREME OVERLORD OF APOLYTON.
The HAAAX has been surprisingly useful to you, as PUL WAT AA only seemed
interested in harassing CIVFANATICS, leaving you to pursue your
nefarious machinations in comfortable secrecy. With his defeat now
imminent, you decide it's as good a time as any to shake up the status
quo. You are currently considering how best to rejoin DYOS XI after
literally years of being out of the loop. ​

> MM2: Examine projection.



You examine the WALL PROJECTION, a cycling of various business-like
charts, graphs and other displays from the office hostage map in
Counter-Strike: Source. You don't actually use them for anything, nor
do you know why you keep them up; they used to be funny, now
they're just IRONIC.

You suppose you could always just shut off the projector, but frankly,
you can't be arsed. Besides, you think the projection is actually built
into the wall by nature of the map design, so you're stuck with it
either way.​

> MM2: Become plot relevant.



You examine your folio of PLOT UPDATES. You've been sort-of vaguely
following the gist of the story while your underlings keep tabs on the
specific developments. It's been so long since your LAST APPEARANCE,
you wonder if anyone actually knows you're still around. You skim
through the folio for a suitable starting point to your glorious return
to the forefront of this story.

Ah, a profile on MARIKO ANTILLES, the latest in CIVGENERAL's
progression of imperial megalomaniacs. Her grand scheme and short-
term goals seem contradictory, and her rise to power is riddled with
LOGICAL FALLIBILITY. She spends her time stroking her ego and
heartlessly murdering anyone she doesn't like; in short, a textbook
jerkass who nobody is wont to miss. You decide she will make the
perfect target. Bumping her off will be a favour to the rest of the
world, and you'll inherit a fairly substantial INTERSTELLAR BATTLE FLEET
for your effort.​

> MM2: Inform staff of whereabouts.



While you can, and do, come and go as you please, you figure it's
always a good idea to let your staff know where you are. Without your
steady hand at the helm, this enterprise would fall to pieces, what with
you having slaughtered the previous administration wholesale.

You call up the DEPUTY DESIGNATE, your second-in-command. You tell him
you're going out. He asks where. You say hostile takeover, a bit of fun,
the usual stuff. He sends his best and asks if there's anything specific
you want done in the mean time. You reply that he might as well check
up on the COMPUTATIONAL DEVELOPER and make sure he hasn't bungled
anything important. His quirky personality provides no end of comical
delights, but frankly, he's a tad on the doltish side.​

> MM2: Equip awesome shades.



You equip your AWESOME SHADES.

You tell the Deputy Designate to send a BBC-1 crew to Wetickra,
because you're about to instigate a COUP DE TÊTE.​

> MM2: Get to the action.





You arrive onboard the ENERJAK, Mariko's flagship, named after
TANICIUSFOX's favourite God-Mode Sue character. Ahead of you is Mariko
herself seated on her VINTAGE DUKE NUKEM THRONE. She is yelling, as
usual; whether she's revelling in self-aggrandizement or bemoaning her
latest defeat you aren't really sure; after a while it all sort of
blends together in a cacophony of rage. Either way, it's grating on
your ears. Better stop the noise at its source.​

> MM2: Show her your stabs.



You leap forward, opting for a downward thrust from behind and into
the chest. It's not the most stylish of executions in your repertoire,
but it is a little less impersonal than stabbing her through the back of
the chair. You won't enjoy the full sense of shock on her face as you
deal the killing blow, but honestly, you don't know her enough to care.​

> ==>



Oh, what a moment to suffer a bout of conscience!

Those pesky DYOS RULES forbid you from executing characters of
importance, and you recall CivGeneral has claimed that Mariko is
supposed to be his ARCHENEMY for the foreseeable future. You also
reflect that if you want to return to the story with this big a bang,
maybe you should be the one to do it, rather than by proxy via
THORVALD OF LYM.​

> MM2: Abscond.



You depart as quietly and instantaneously as you arrived.
Justice will have to wait another day.​

> MM2: Drown sorrow.



You could not do it.
You could not kill the girl.​

> ==>
 
Damn it Thorvald! Quit trying to bump off my antagonist!! :mad:
 
Like reading a virtual novel. I should consider doing that myself.
Nice work, Thorvald. :)
 
I never cease wondering why joking about how easily CivGeneral gets annoyed at people messing with his plot makes CG think people actually are messing with his plot.
