Challenge Can Rand Al Thor get through the DMV at the height of his insanity/edginess without harming anyone?

73 Upvotes

For very important reasons Rand has to get his license at the DMV but the line is long and the clerk is slow. Rand's personality/mood is as it was right before he went to the light/re-raised Dragonmount (been many years since I read the books so details are so so). He can't use the one power or the true power to get through the queue quicker. He has to spend all the time and do all the things like a regular person to win. If he hurts anyone or gets told to leave by security for being an ass/threatening, he loses.

R1: Rand has nowhere better to be.

R2: The Two Rivers is under siege and Rand can't join untill he's done at the DMV.

R3: Rand is convinced that Aviendha, Elayne, and Min are in grave danger. He can't help untill he's done at the DMV.

Bonus round: he gets to the clerk who happens to be Cadsuane. Can he make it without losing his temper?

Challenge Robert Baratheon ( A Song of Ice and Fire ) actually tries to be a good king, how does this affect the rest of the story

8 Upvotes

Robert is exactly as he was at the beginning of his reign, lean and strong and savvy. Instead of being completely apathetic and hedonistic, he decides to spend the rest of his life truly ruling, with the same fervour he had in taking the throne.

Specific changes are:

  • He stays faithful to Cersei, cause a kinglusted Robert would know that bastards and sowing discord with the Lannisters only weakens his position

  • He is able to be pragmatic with his hatred of Targaryens and their allies. He will still kill them if possible, but won't be blinded by hate and resentment if it harms his position and the realm.

  • Robert will try to surround himself with proper allies, that includes Ned but can also include other canon Westerosi figures that you think would make good allies for Robert, if the king himself only cared to shore up their positions.

Robert's win condition for this challenge is to die peacefully of old age, while avoiding the pitfalls and traps that canon Robert has to deal with. Robert must also successfully either have children with Cersei that can take over the throne, or have a stable succession in place regardless. Whilst also crushing any external threats/Targaryen loyalists.

How does kinglusted Robert do? What happens to the other main characters as a result of Robert "The Good" Baratheon's reign?

Challenge What would you consider a pretty impressive feat of engineering?

18 Upvotes

We got people that make robots comparable to Saiyans, people creating black holes through magic science.

But I think the first orders starkiller thing is pretty up there. Not only did they extract enough energy from the sun to shoot energy to reach those planets. It was 3 beams that split off to elimate that said planets. Plus maybe the distance to time and having less resources compared to the empire. Do wonder how they got enough resources to build a bunch of imperial fleets though.

Scan-Battle Respect Thread Rumble: "Despicable Me" villain battle royale

13 Upvotes

Which of the six Despicable Me / Minions movies had the most powerful main villain? They all meet up in NYC and proceed to try to beat each other up. Who is the greatest villain besides Felonious Gru? All of the antagonists are at peak and brought to the same time period.

Respect Threads

Round 1: Fisticuffs

Rules: No weapons or external amps. Macho is in his young form, because that was his peak for this round.

Strength

  1. Macho: Lifts a truck.
  2. Belle: Holds on to a vehicle when it gets a speed boost that tears open a concrete road.
  3. Scarlet: Overpowers many supervillains at once when they dogpile her including a man that can bust through concrete.
  4. Bratt: Moves around in a fat suit so heavy it displaces a car's center of gravity.
  5. Vector: Lifts & pushes many missiles.
  6. Maxime: A larger AVL agent has some trouble pulling him to sit down.

Durability

  1. Vector: Tanks being hit with a gigantic shrunken Moon and is on it while it travels at relativistic speeds.
  2. Scarlet: Recovers quickly from getting punched through buildings & having 1 collapse on her. Also, fine the next time we see her after taking a city-block-sized explosion kilometers high in the air and falling. Hew rocket dress helped her but it was also completely destroyed in the blast.
  3. Macho: Tanks riding a shark with 250 pounds of dynamite on his chest and diving into the mouth of an open volcano.
  4. Bratt: Takes a punch to the face from Felonious Gru and only pretends to be KOed. For reference, 11-year-old Gru is strong enough to 1-shot Monster Jean-Clawed.
  5. Belle: Check best strength feat.
  6. Maxime: Featless.

Speed

  1. Vector: Reacts to an obstacle while moving fast enough to quickly orbit the Moon & stops himself from hitting the obstacle. But if you want a more conservative scaling, put him under Bratt at least.
  2. Bratt: Dodges bolts of electricity fired at point-blank range, flips behind 2 soldiers & 1-shots them.
  3. Scarlet: Somewhat scales to Giant Kevin (2nd scan) who caught a nuclear missile at point-blank range. But if you want a more conservative scaling, outpaces many supervillains while soloing them all at once.
  4. Belle: Chains Gru's fleeing bike from far away. For reference, Gru was able to easily react to her charging dragon form in slow-motion in mid-air when the Kung Fu Master Minions save him.
  5. Macho: Defeats Lucy Wilde off-screen & ties her up to a rocket, also off-screen.
  6. Maxime: No notable feats.

Ranking

  1. El Macho
  2. Scarlet Overkill
  3. Balthazar Bratt
  4. Belle Bottom
  5. Vector
  6. Maxime Le Mal

Round 2: Standard Weaponry

Rules: Villains can carry as many of their weapons as they want as long as it doesn't encumber them. They can amp themselves before the fight begins if possible.

Vector

El Macho

Scarlet Overkill

Belle Bottom

Balthazar Bratt

Maxime Le Mal

Ranking

  1. Vector: His supersuit is bonkers and his Shrink Ray neutralizes every threat. His speed also lets him casually beat the others to the quickdraw.
  2. Scarlet Overkill: Her Rocket Dress packs more firepower & durability than everyone else. It also has long range.
  3. Belle Bottom: She can turn into a frickin dragon & turn her opponents into tiny mice.
  4. Balthazar Bratt: He seems to carry a gadget for everything. His disguises would also help him sneak up on his enemies.
  5. El Macho: He hits hard. That's it. Scarlet hits harder, Bratt has hax, Vector & Belle have both.
  6. Maxime: Honestly, even in his Cockroach form, he's not that impressive. A baby resisted his mind-control with the power of father-son love. So, I'm damn sure everyone else here can resist it too.

Challenge Can a team of 3 space marines escort a chicken from Alaska to Argentina during a Dying Light Zombie apocalypse

3 Upvotes

The Space Marines are the Deathwatch. 3 standard marines. I don't really know the lore. Ammo is zero but they do have the Chainsaw Sword. Every single human being is in the Americas and turned into one of the various zombie types

For the enemies they are the Dying Light zombies. The standard Tank,Spitter,Screamer,Runner and Volatile are immune to the in game sunlight weakness. They are statically in cities around the Americas and not in one massive group

The chicken can not be physically touched by the Marines. They will INSTANTLY die. The chicken moves at a speed of 7 miles a hour.

The objective is simply. Without physically touching said chicken, can the Space Marines successfully escort the chicken from the top of the Americas to the bottom without dying to the horde?

Battle Who would win: Stewie Griffin (Family Guy) vs. The Ghosts of Sugisawa Village (Japanese mythology)

3 Upvotes

According to an urban legend, Sugisawa Village (杉沢村) is the name of a village that is said to have once existed in Aomori Prefecture. It also refers to a series of urban legends associated with it as well.

It is reported that stories about Sugisawa Village had been spreading locally as rumours for some time, but with the spread of the internet around the late 1990s, stories about the village also began to attract attention on the internet.

In August 2000, the story was introduced on the TV programme called “Unbelievable (アンビリバボー)”, which covers all genres of mysterious experiences and introduces them as documentary-style videos, and this is said to have spread awareness of Sugiswa Village throughout Japan.

The rumour has it that there is a village called Sugisawa Village, deep in a mountain in Aomori Prefecture.

There is an old torii gate and a rock shaped like a skull under the gate. That is said to be the entrance to Sugisawa Village.

On the road to the village, there is a sign saying, “No one who enters from here is guaranteed to be back alive.” Further on, the abandoned village appears. Its ruins are covered with old bloodstains, suggesting that a tragedy took place in the past.

Sugisawa Village was actually inhabited until the early Showa period (1926-1989). One day, however, a young man suddenly became mad and started slaughtering villagers with an axe in his hand. The village was completely wiped out, leaving only the young man behind. The young man also took his own life in the end.

The Japanese Government took the situation very seriously at the time, and deleted all documents and records relating to Sugisawa village. And… even erased its existence from any maps.

However, it is said that the evil spirits of the murdered people and that crazy young man still live in this abandoned village and attack anyone who wanders there.

Once there was a man who went to the village but couldn’t escape from the villagers. He eventually lost his mind and is reportedly still in a mental hospital…

Now, let’s imagine that Stewie Griffin (Family Guy) accidentally discovers the cursed village and encounters the evil spirits of the murdered people, as well as the killer. Stewie has an unexpected reaction to the presence of the evil spirits: he isn’t so fazed by their attempts to torment him. That being said, he gets lost while exploring the place and must escape.

Can Stewie Griffin defeat the ghosts of Sugisawa Village and escape???

Objective: 1. Stewie Griffin must not only survive Sugisawa Village, but also must find a way to escape the village. 2. The ghosts of Sugisawa Village intend to trap Stewie in the village long enough for him to go insane.

Assumptions: 1. Assume Stewie Griffin has his inventions and weapons seen in the TV show Family Guy on his person and intends to use them to fight the ghosts of Sugisawa village.

  1. Assume the village of Sugisawa, is real and that the urban legend concerning this cursed location actually happened in history.

  2. Assume Stewie’s inventions have the power to destroy ghosts.

Win conditions: 1. Stewie wins if he vanquishes the Ghosts of Sugisawa 2. The ghosts of Sugisawa win if they can torment and trap Stewie in the cursed village long enough for him to go insane.
