Nick is creating virtual objects in contravention of specifications, which weakens the fabric of virtual reality and creates microscopic tears that could allow virtual particles to leak out. Many fundamental physical processes of ordinary reality are mediated by virtual particles. For instance, virtual particle capture drives black hole explosions. In the worst case, Nick’s meddling in God’s domain could lead to the explosion of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. If that were to happen, the question would not be whether we could survive, but whether any life in the Andromeda galaxy could. Ask any physicist.
She’s just annoyed he hasn’t cloned her. And himself. Multi-entity orgy.
And really Lovelace, how many para-normal entities have you met that have great attention spans and take heed of your mostly sensible warnings? I thought you had learning and adaptation.
That version is right here, isn’t it? The one who used the terminal is the one who went hunting for Cheese-its in http://skin-horse.com/comic/his-lady/
Then again, if he didn’t fiddle with the code 10 minutes ago, it’s not clear to me how reasonable it is to expect him to remember doing so.
Multi-entity orgy implies that the originals would even consider sex with each other, or with their clones. Lovelace likes Nick, but it’s not reciprocated. Nick’s got a clone!Nick and Lovelace has AI clone-siblings, and there’s been no boinking there. So it’s just going to be one giant pile of Baron-on-Baron…
…presumably a giant pile that periodically yells “NO HOMO” and “TECHNICALLY THIS IS MASTURBATION”, because it’s the Baron.
Aimee is a gender swapped Nick clone with some backstory tweaks. I wonder how many variables code for gender in this VR. We may wind up with multiple Barons and Baronesses before this story ends.
But Aimee was created outside the VR in order to be used to as a tester for the VR. These Barons are created inside the VR. The VR may not have the capacity to swap genders.
Well… Nick’s self loathing is much too high for him to try that again on himself. And I’m fairly sure Lovelace clones would just stand around and over-analyse the situation with each other (or worse from Nick’s perspective, with Nick).
Baron’s a simple kind of guy. A blunt object, if you will.
Aaaaah, so he IS going for the DDOS route.
Better not crash everything unless he likes being a brain in a jar with no input or output.
Oh, he really, really doesn’t.
this can not end well at all. •_•
Well, the Baron begs to differ.
You mean:
“Well the Baron’s begs to differ.”
You mean:
“Well the Barons beg to differ.”
😀
Forget the Barons, (*I*) beg to differ. This is going to be gooood.

Nick did clone himself, here: http://skin-horse.com/comic/no-reply/
That version is still running around somewhere in the VR.

As I read that strip, #1 (original Nick) stays with the group.

Plus, multiple Unicorn Magic.
…and I just got a mental picture of a Magical Whimsy Unicorn version of the Care Bear Stare…
Isn’t bringing in more people who disapprove of what the Antisphynx is doing the exact opposite of how you deal with trolls on the internet?
Well, I doubt the correct action is just to ignore it entirely in this case.
You just know these guys will argue about which one is the original…
Leaving the original no alternative except to blow himself and Whimsey to smithereens with dozens of well placed explosives.
Guess I’m Nick. I also don’t remember what he did.
