What's the best degree for a Superscientist? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Astrocloud · 07-01-2008, 02:30 AM

It's a career choice that I want to make.

Gee Rusty, I don't know about the degree...
...but Ms. Molotov Cocktease is hot.

So there are benefits to this whole super-scientist deal. But isn't it more about having an arch nemesis (with hench-persons) and flying really pointy supersonic planes than degrees?

Redlemon · 07-01-2008, 06:19 AM

I'll have to check in with my 5 year old son on this question. His current plans are to become an animal scientist, an earth scientist, and a weather scientist, so if you put that all together, I guess that's a super-scientist. He insists that he doesn't want to be an astronaut, however.

Ahoy Cloud!

According to Thundarr The Barbarian, after the Earth's civilization is destroyed by a runaway comet it will be reborn and "a strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super-science, and sorcery."

If he's interested in some fossils or something shoot me a message, I can dig around for some or send some department specimens out... They'd be shells mainly, but I guarentee they'd be really, really, unfathomably old.

I know that, I used to be an environmental engineer. Thanks for the offer, but I'll pass right now. I'm not even sure he knows what he means by "earth scientist".

If being a super-scientist entails having that hot sidekick then any kind will do!

Then Super Villians are even better because they often get hot sidekicks and even henchmen.

The best degree for a super-scientist? Kelvins during the week, Platos on the weekend. (Something with an OG of around 18 to 20 º Plato and an FG around 5)

Astrocloud · 07-03-2008, 08:51 PM

I don't know if the monarch's henchmen go up that high.

Here is number 21:

ottopilot · 07-10-2008, 11:27 AM

To better represent the growing diversity within the "hench" profession, the ACLU has requested that all future mention of "hench" personnel shall be referred to as:

"hench-persons"
"hench-people"
"henchers"

But not:

"henchmen"
"henchies"
"henchenators"
or any perceived derogatory term depicting the "hench" culture.

Your compliance is appreciated (or else)

The ACLU

Astrocloud · 07-10-2008, 11:56 PM

The guild has infiltrated the ACLU -or is it the other way around?

ottopilot · 07-11-2008, 01:00 PM

I've never seen them together in the same place at the same time.

Tophat665 · 07-11-2008, 03:13 PM

Rather than offend Henchkind, let me suggest we revert to the terms minions on the one hand and Toadies, Lackies, and Flunkies - collectively: petty underlings - on the other.

Flunkies are totally incapable of independent thought or unsupervised actions. They cannot be left alone for more than a few minutes, for fear of hurting themselves or others.

Lackeys are capable of following rudimentary instructions and marginal self-supervision for up to a day or so. The better lackeys are also capable of supervising a squad of flunkies while they break rocks into gravel, but again, only for a day or so.

Minions are capable of a far greater range of authority, self-determination, and responsibility. They can act unsupervised for days, weeks, even months at a time, largely because they are generally clever enough to call you on their cellular phone if they think they're in a situation that is over their heads. They can be trusted with several squadrons of flunkies and the appropriate support staff of lackeys.

I don't use toadies. I have no idea what they're good for.

Sion · 07-11-2008, 03:58 PM

Toadies are good for making sammiches, stroking your evil super-ego, and occasionally making a (fatal) example out of.

personally, I fight for just ice.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm iiiiiiice...
