I didn't realize we got a frigate full of robot space vajayjays here! Did y'all miss the x2 Grenades we got?

Plan: ACTIONBOT!!!1

Look for the right insignia, if none, then

Combo 2, then 1

Panic and run, with Go Ship skittering as fast as he can between the robot's legs.

Those legs look like platforms with hydraulics on them, with gaps and open spaces. As Go-Ship runs between the robot's legs, Bip needs to toss a grenade into an open spot on one of the legs.

Then keep going!

That thing's got guns, but if it's laying face down, they can't target well.

Also, which CYOA was it that involved a jeep? It seems to have resulted in the most avatars.

YSS2 is where it seems to have started, but I think the avatar buyer is following all the CYOA threads involving robots, b/c I got mine from an out-of-context quote I made in this thread about throwing the grenade at the mech.

As I recall the robo avatars started back in YLS 3 from shenanagans involving Donovian that were ... complicated. There was a pause until a callback to that was made in YSS 1, and it started the whole ball rolling again.

Yeah, I was way off-base saying it was YSS2, seeing as how we talked about sexin' the HIDs, Percy, and Torvarsky nailed Xandy in YSS1. Speaking of, I keep meaning to mention to everyone in YSS2 that Ira cannot possibly be Torvarsky's ancestor because they have the same last name but she's a female. Best she could be is an aunt. Does Ira even have siblings?

Setting the place on fire on purpose may be out of character for Bip, but he should definitely (whatever happened to the "definately" autotext?):

1. Change his oil if possible
2. Replace his Grade B oil with the good stuff
If the results of drinking oil are in any way comical, he should
3. Drink his fill
Then
4. Investigate all the other crates and characteristically make a HUGE mess

Now, what I'm saying is, if Bip is drunk on oil or something, and spills a lot of it, then you know, somehow accidentally sparks a flame, well, that would be pretty much par for him, wouldn't it? But to do it on purpose? Perish the thought!

Also, please play my CYOA too!

Bip barely knows how to operate himself without direct instruction, I highly doubt he can do anything more with the dish than "PSUH BUTAN!"

edit: Love this comment: "If Bip feels bad about stealing (even if it was his in the first place), maybe he could leave them another grenade (sans pin, of course). That's like a trade AND a surprise, put together!"

Who are these thread terrorist goons who actually HATE stories about adorable robots making it on their own? Can they even call themselves goons?

There is backlash from the goons who weren't cool enough to read CYOAs when they were kids and they hang out in the Suggestions lounge talking poo poo on us and saying we're not cool because they never got to know us.

BIP needs to do some soul-searching on the journey. If there's any better time for self-examination than after you've murdered some people done some bad things, I'm not aware of it.

Excellent point. I might also remind everyone that Bip thought the EF guys were jerks too (they always tripped him and laughed at him) until poo poo got real.

vv Certainly correct. I was just pointing out that Bip doesn't really know what's going on or who's what, here. vv

When the city lies in ruins, and BIP watches from a hilltop with a grizzled manly beard and a tattered set of fatigues, he'll look over to the side and see Go-Ship scuttling towards him. The CYOA will end with a contented smile on BIP's face as he rides Go-Ship into the sunset.

Cheap Shot, the Microbe fans may have gone a bit overboard, but my friend, if you were to commercialize this in the slightest, you would make a mint. I've been telling Luvcow since his start that he could turn it into an enterprise. The hottest properties right now on SA are BIP and Goblii. Several of the CYOA authors could do well if they were to reproduce their beloved character in a reasonable medium.

BIP looked down at his data pad and then scrawled a glowing tic mark for the passage of another hour. Whatever this "holding breath" was, he was clearly very good at it, and his robot heart swelled with pride.

I don't know what's funnier - the idea of a robot having a tantrum and 'holding his breath' until it passes out, it trying to but getting frustrated because it's unable, or being proud of its 'breath holding' ability.
