Another forum game:

Here's how it works:

The Rules:
1 - No posting something that can't be beaten (God is the traditional example of an unbeatable object; however, Parallel Universes is a much better example, since it could be argued that atheism or Buddhism beats God...)

2 - The post must beat the thing above it in a healthy and undeniable way (e.g. lawn mower beats plant) It doesn't even have to be related, as long as it could realistically beat it. (e.g. falling tree beats deer)

3 - If there is, for some reason, something that is hard to beat, either A: Make something that isn't very obvious and explain it [e.g, Hawking radiation beats black hole (by causing the black hole to evaporate)]
or B: look at the post above and take it from there.

Example of game:
Paper
Paper Shredder
Black out
Generator
Man sticking fork in generator
Sword
etc., etc., etc...


I'll start:

oxyacetelene torch
 
No ethyne

Sorry, have to stop and take issue. You aren't "beating" my torch with something else, but claiming I don't have the fuel it takes to operate. What's to stop everyone from saying there's some similar lack or flaw in the previous persons thing. A. says "hacksaw", B can say "It has no blade." ?

Natural 20. (Any unlikely thing can happen if you roll a 20 naturally on a 1D20)
? Could you elaborate please?

Edit - googling shows this is a gaming term but it does not always equate to a critical attack
An attack roll represents a character's attempts to strike an opponent on the character's turn in a round. When a character makes an attack roll, he or she rolls 1d20 and adds his or her attack bonus. If the result equals or beats the target's Defense, the character hits and deals damage. Many modifiers can affect the attack roll.

A natural 1 (the d20 comes up 1) on the attack roll is always a miss. A natural 20 (the d20 comes up 20) is always a hit. A natural 20 is also always a threat-a possible critical hit.

If the character is not proficient in the weapon he or she is attacking with (the character doesn't have the appropriate Weapon Proficiency feat), that character takes a -4 penalty on the attack roll

it is ok to do that but i forgot to say" a oxyacetylene torch with no ethyne". The general idea is the the next thing should pwn the previous.

You can have a look at another forum with this forum game for ideas:

Since we have gotten off track a bit i'll continue on my post..

Nope. This and your anti-gravity, and I'm taking my toys and going home. Bye.
