I'm the Emperor, biatch! All ships fire, we've lured the newb out in his homemade robot! It's a trap! <Steve's hologram disappears, nukes rain down on the newb, leaving only a toenail shred in low earth orbit>. Pwnd. Don't even make me bust out the rod-shooting space blimps.
In classical anime style, the single fighter takes out legions of ships, and even rod-shooting space blimps. The evil overlord type has revealed his plans and now suffers humiliation, death, and more at the hands of the good guys. Roll credits. Steve loses. Double pwned. With whip cream on top. Who's the noob now?
Sure, but then comes the sequel. Or worse yet, the prequel. (Who really wants to see what Steve did before he came to infest this forum?)
No, I'm sorry, that ending was removed from the final version, as you can plainly see the hero's toenail shred has been nuked into low earth orbit, and in classic real world style, the bad guy wins.
Hey buddy... No problem... The animator simply goes back and "corrects" that scene. The hero's toenail is now firmly connected to his foot, and no Nuking present. All is approved. The final cut made. Steve's response capabilities stand threatened at the mention of any further rewrite, or any statement that might even seem to imply that the hero has lost in ANY respect. Yes, I am pulling Gnome powers on you to win this silly contest. =p Lance...
I set fire to the building. The sprinkler system goes off, instantly destroying all of the gay drawings. So there.
Luckily, there were no gay drawings except a small self portrait Steve drew. Everything else was fine, you're still pwned, and your insolence has been noted. =)
Due to the incompetence of the sprinkler system, the building has burned down. I put it in a centrifuge, manufacture a bullet, and fire it into a lead wall.
...fortunately the animators were able to escape unscathed, the anime was completed, broadcast to millions around the globe, went to DVD, sold like hotcakes, and the animators put to work in their brand new studio on the next episode. Unfortunately, before they could complete it, the Earth was destroyed to make way for a new hyperspace bypass, and thus ends this tale. Lance...
You can't set fire to the building. That building is in the real world. You are an evil anime overlord. Although, as Lance said, the entire Earth was destroyed by careless space aliens... Then the Doctor went back in time to save it.
No really...the tale is OVER. We will NOT introduce time travel to this because the whole "But we went back in time and changed everything" thing is annoying and stupid in most collaborative community stories. It's essentially an "I don't like what you did so I'm going to erase it" tool that anybody can use to undo what they don't like about the story. Yeah, I realize this was just Steve and I being idiots. It's something some of us here excel at. So yeah... VETO.
