So I've been thinking. I got this thing back when the fake-quake crap was just starting at Tuning that can read a MtG-type card that came with it and project a hologram of the monster on that card.

Anyone up for trying to figure out how to use that tech to make something that can project holograms onto people? It'd give us a leg up on the masquerade, especially for those of us who are having big changes physically.

iim p sure thats two advanced for people two make lol.

I already have two people saying they can recreate the thing, why not reprogram it too?

seriiously??

[shiromadoushi]

Yep! Dunno how they're coming along with it since it's been a while and shit keeps coming up. I was thinking getting a bunch of them for an epic Mtg game. But this might be a better idea to do first.

that 2till sounds way two ambiitious two me but w/e good luck ii guess?

[shiromadoushi]

Worth a try though, right?

And thanks.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Neato. That'd help a lot of people if we could make more of them.

[shiromadoushi]

Yeah. Could help everyone, really. Cloaking device! :D

[not_good_not_wicked]

You think it could do that? That'd be super handy.

Also if you do I'm preemptively calling dibs on one.

[shiromadoushi]

I know, right?

First dibs are going to Anthony. And Davin and Chris. After, you can join the party invisible

[not_good_not_wicked]

Stupid reasonable objections. Okay fine I guess that's fair.

[shiromadoushi]

The reasonable ones are the worst, aren't they? Because even someone like us would feel like a dick arguing against them.

Might get kind of sticky when you'd have something not quite human shaped under there if someone were to touch it. Like if I were in my bug form but had a hologram of myself projected over me and someone brushed against an antenna or something.

Still much better than the alternative.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Yeah, that'd be pretty iffy. But I think most everybody's mostly still human shaped, who's having this trouble. Since you got your transform card back.

[Text]

[chalicejoker]

Yeah. I hope no one else gets stuck without some sort of transform card of their own.

It could work for little things like eyes and ears, at least.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Yeah. Though it would help to at least get you tucked away easier. Much better than the costume idea!

And yeah. And things like turning yellow or being a zombie and shit like that. Shape's the same, it's just the colors that change.

[Text]

[chalicejoker]

Definitely. And it wouldn't have involved needing a U-haul.

It's worth a shot if you get the right technical types in on it.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Yeah. Thomas had a look at it before. Let him dissect it so he could make a clone. If he pulls it off, that's step one~ and Chris is awesome at programing so she could do a lot of the redoing the holograms thing.

Hopefully that works out better for him than his car's paint job. At least you've got a team in mind.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Who knows, if we get this working, he can have a normal looking car again~ That should be motivation enough, right? ;)

[Text]

[chalicejoker]

Considering the way he reacted when I told him that even if he repainted it, the original paint job could probably find some way to magically appear, I would imagine so.

[indy_wannabe]

Finally got something useful eh Crybaby?

[shiromadoushi]

I've had plenty of useful shit. This just is something that could be useful to other people too.

Also, get a better nickname. Really not cool to try and rub in a shitty day like that.

[indy_wannabe]

You'll have to work your way up to a new one, I'm afraid. But good on you for having something that can help out. I'm sure you'll make Card-Weaboo in no time!

[shiromadoushi]

...Go back to insult school, you've clearly failed it.

[indy_wannabe]

Takes one to know one, crybaby.

Anyway, what do these special holograms do? They just images?

[shiromadoushi]

That doesn't even make any sense.

Yeah, pretty much. If I had another disc, there could be a duel and they'd be animated, but with just the one, the cards just show up and the monster hovers and doesn't do much.

[indy_wannabe]

Does it have to be cards or can you feed it other images?

[shiromadoushi]

Just cards. And just the ones that came with it, or similar flashback ones. I tried with my MtG deck and got nothing.

[indy_wannabe]

Who in their right mind would create an elaborate holographic system to project a TCG? I mean Magic is huge and all but it's not THAT profitable.

[shiromadoushi]

Considering this card game let other me kill a zombie, it's probably bigger than Magic there.

Either that or it got bigger than Magic with this thing around. Actually having the cards you play exist before you so it's like an arena? Any game that had that going for it would fly off the shelves.
