Who all can pick out what in this one is fundamentally new?

:D

I think I know

Is it thats it's a new week in splicjy world? :-?

Magic is more than something that you see. Magic is something you feel. It's like the feeling you get when you hear that certain song or see that one person...that's real magic.

I love this one too!!

I think my favorite Splicky in this one has to be the camo one balancing on the orb. He looks like Gir doing the Monkey Dance. X-D

But the purple/blue on lying on his tummy at the bottom of the hill looks like a baby!

Love 'em!

I love the missions and the Splickies themselves. My favorite is the dark green one blithely carrying off his friend's orb. He's so clueless!

I love this background, Quartz. Actually, they're all really cool. But this one looks particularly inviting.

I don't know. What is fundamentally different?

It's the multi-colored splicky

He's up there in the top right gathering of splickies.

"Yes! 5.1 Pounds. That's why his blood is so good on pancakes!"

Fundamentally New

"Is it thats it's a new week in splicjy world?" -The Shaman

"It's the multi-colored splicky He's up there in the top right gathering of splickies." -Crazy J

Actually, no, neither of these I count as fundamental differences. We've had patterned splickies before, even if they had different patterns, and the date on Earth2 is progressing as usual, even if it's reached a point it's never reached before.

Umm...

Not only is the "MalexMedia.Net™" watermark at the bottom not fundamentally new, but it's not new at all. So... No, that's not it. :D

This is a total guess

Is it the number of splicks I have noticed there are quite a few more in this one. :-?

NOOOO!!

I was wrong...*sobs*

lol. I failed to pay attention.

is it that the text is much larger? or is that new either?

LOL...

"Is it the number of splicks I have noticed there are quite a few more in this one." -The Shaman

There are, but it's only because I hit upon a rather good mission for them this time. I'm not talking about that.

"is it that the text is much larger? or is that new either?" -Rufas Shinra

I didn't notice the text being a lot larger... It's probably because each Splicky Mission has a completely different original resolution before I scale them down to 1600 in their largest dimension, so I really don't have any good way of setting the text size to end up the same as the others ended up. No, I wasn't thinking of that either.

By the way, guys... I've been perfectly aware of the subjectiveness of what's "fundamentally new" from the beginning, and I counted on having to turn down many guesses before people zeroed in on what exactly I'm referring to. I just thought I'd mention that... :)

If you guys want a hint, there's one hidden in the exact wording of my first comment. :D

Guessing Trauma

Settle down, Rufas. *lol* You're wrong again, but still...

Maybe you should give up, and wait until either everyone else follows, or somebody guesses correctly. Unless you'd like to continue, of course. You could even undo a giveup, too...

this is so funny!

I cant even pick my favorite splicky!

1.) Quartz, you've broken Rufas

2.) I give up

---------------

I linger always in evening, not wanting to be seen by the day, but afraid of the night. For is that not my name? Enaduial, traveling from evening to evening, waiting to be found.

---------------

“Yeah,” Ilor said, beginning to laugh, “they'd kill us because they're pirates!”

Crazy J's picture

Um...

I noticed that the white one had colored eyes... is that it?

'cuz if it ain't I give up - I can't find anything else.

Quartz's picture

BINGO!

Crazy J hit upon it (even if he didn't get it--it wasn't very obvious, I suppose): it's the albino splicky near the bottom right! :D

...Perhaps that was a little unfair. :-/

But,...

There's another correct answer, too! Besides the albino splicky, there's something else in this mission that we've never seen before.

Crazy J's picture

Well,

The reason we all passed over that one was because there's been a white one before, so we didn't exactly think it a shocking event that a second one comes up on us.

Albino

I knew he was an albino, but then I've known him since he was just a little shaver. I thought everyone knew and I just didn't realize it was a big deal, Quartz.

there's something else in this mission that we've never seen before.

What? What?

Come now children what's wrong? You should be panting with delight!

♥♫♪◉☼

Would you rather raise an army, or go out on your own?

Quartz's picture

Well, Okay.

It's the olive green splic. He has no orb element. These splickies are called "ordinaire splics", or, in politically correct terms, "un-especial splics". Because a splic's parents pretty much have their pick on what kind of splic he/she's going to be, and the three elements are actually better than the ordinaires, these types of splics are notably rare.

You know how to raspberry, don't you Steve? You just put your tongue out and blow.

SangMing's picture

Which olive green?

Is this the one holding the yellowish one's orb by mistake, or the lighter one that is falling down the hill? Sorry. I have trouble discerning the orb elements. You'll have to give me a tutorial. :-P

Poor baby! How can parents be so unconcerned? What were they thinking? :-|

And who says elemental orbs are better? In what way? :-?

I think...

The one tumbling down the hill is a water element while the one saying, "This is easy," is the one who has no element.

Details, Details

"Destined to be an outcast forever just 'cause his parents wanted to be different!" -Aisling

"Poor baby! How can parents be so unconcerned? What were they thinking?" -SangMing

I did say pretty much have their choice. There might be cases where an elemental orb was not readily available, or something. Besides, the Splickan society is quite unusual... I think you'd be surprised.

"And who says elemental orbs are better? In what way?" -SangMing

Well, that's a rather large subject. Principally, though, water splickies have gills in their throats (they're amphibious), light splickies are fire-proof, and beam splickies have weak tractor beams they can use from their orbs that works best on other orbs. As I explain in more detail here, splickies will not appear in merely Splicky Missions.
