So, it's time for another magical request. =3 Strife's this time. ^^ Strife writes: Help meh! My beaming device has been malfunctioning ever since that day when the NTWFers starting turning into food items. I tried fixing it and using it again recently, but my molecular structure destabilized again and I morphed into a cup of velveeta with cheese. T_T So far i've experienced being a star-shaped cookie, a moon cake, a chocolate moose, ramen, two ounces of flour, a strikingly handsome spaceman, a wad of dough, and velveeta.
Please, someone use their voodoo magicals to figure out what's causing the problem! ^^; *** This contract is due on June 17th. ^^ Good luck. =3 *** Pending requests: Finished requests: |

Well Strife, I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that I don't know of any kind of magic that can tell what's wrong with a computer. The good news is that I've had some experience with computers and programming (as well as watched many sci-fi movies >_> *cough*).
My guess would that that someone decided to have a little fun. They probably switched some of the coding for the beaming device and for the replicators. An obvious indication would be that the replicators give you tiny bodies or maybe dolls, instead of food. Even if they don't, check the file paths that the beaming device uses, make sure whether or not it's accessing your food files.
If the programming is fine, then there's probably a cross-circuit somewhere. Check to make sure that nothing is connected that shouldn't be.
Then there's the possibility that someone planted a program or virus that activates whenever you use the beaming device. You could do a diagnostic to check for anything... Actually, I recommend that you do this first since it would probably take the smallest amount of time/effort.

Strife-This situation is actually not too difficult to identify. How easy it is to remedy depends on what happens. Except for the ramen, velvetta (I'd recommend putting those together, by the way) and the strikingly handsome spaceman (that really shouldn't be edible...I hope), all of those seem to be sweet, yummy desserts. Obviously, your machine is alive, sentient, and trying to tell you something.
The solution?
Being careful to avoid hungry NTWFers, recruit someone with legs and opposable thumbs to help you figure out the beaming device's eating tendencies. Consult a local magical library if you must, or a mechanical expert. Then, simply locate the machine's mouth (or something close to it) and feed it. If it isn't like Sev, it should work willingly and well.
If it doesn't, there's always the age-old method of smashing it to bits with a wrench and rebuilding it.
Oh, and get a morphing potion to solve the little velvetta problem. Of course, you'll be a Neopet...but it's better than being edible!

Well, it seems to me that one of two things is the case. Either you simply got too close to food-morphing magic and it altered the programming of the beaming device... or - well - maybe your beaming device is feeling hungry.
In the first case, I would suggest simply reprogramming it - assuming you can stay in a human shape long enough to finish the job. It might help to go somewhere with an anti-magic field. Many places around the forum have them - I would suggest going close to Admin Alley. There's all sorts of anti-magic spells set up around there (to prevent eavesdropping and sneaking in and so forth) so maybe it would keep your beaming device docile long enough for you to fix it.
If it were the second case... I'd replace it, if I were you. I don't know what might have caused a machine to become ravenously hungry, but it can't be good. Still, it might be a good idea to keep it around, under guard of course. Talk about a secret weapon! Imagine the looks on your enemies' faces when you unleash it on them and turn them all into cheese...

Strife:
No magical solution needed. Just eat the beaming device. From now on you can live on rocks if you want - the beaming device will transform everything into food. Warning: This may cause obesity if your beaming device doesn't feel like creating healthy food.

Sorry about this... ^^; I've been doing other things and not getting around to checking out the guilds... I'll try to be better about that now. As for the winners... Salah wins 250 cookie points for creativity, Omni wins 250 cookie points for effectiveness, Michelle and Elcie both win 100 for runner-up. ^_^ And if I forget to make a new one again, anyone else who wants to can make the thread. And maybe PM me to ask me to edit the request thread. ^^; |
