Malaki 21-Feb-21 06:54 PM

Wait no, hemp is canvas too

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 06:54 PM

hemp is grouped with weed as i understand

Malaki 21-Feb-21 06:54 PM

Jeens too

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 06:55 PM

Modern canvas is usually made of cotton or linen, along with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), although historically it was made from hemp.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:03 PM

given they got attacked outside of the overgrowth zone, id think probably a cluster trigger of some sort maybe

Malaki 21-Feb-21 07:04 PM

Might be a secondary effect of rats eating his plants

pokienote | Kenny | Conserve BOT 21-Feb-21 07:04 PM

So. Day plans?

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:10 PM

how's the costume work for ya?

Malaki 21-Feb-21 07:10 PM

Maybe try and get some catnip growing in there in one patch, should keep them predictable

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:10 PM

malaki wants the giant feral cats to be a thing so they can maul people's eyeballs out

there's probably catnip growing in the jungle

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:10 PM

The costume looks a whole lot better now. Actually professional and stuff.

Comfy too!

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:11 PM

does the mask hide your identity well enough?

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:11 PM

And the metal plates I added for armour feel sturdier too.

Malaki 21-Feb-21 07:11 PM

ok, good

Unready_Access | Emma | Construct BOT 21-Feb-21 07:11 PM

Emerald golem is waiting on more charges to be made.

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:12 PM

Also, it looks like Defiant recharges at midnight, not 24 hours after being used.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:12 PM

in that case, store the costume, head off somewhere you can get changed that's far enough, then meet up with the prt and new wave

wait.

emma's got a good mask too?

Malaki 21-Feb-21 07:12 PM

Oh cool! So for right now it would be best to use him around midnight

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:12 PM

I can insta-equip and unequip it with the card, which is nice.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:12 PM

ok, so yall are probably good to go then

let the folks know you're headin out

Unready_Access | Emma | Construct BOT 21-Feb-21 07:13 PM

I can also create weapons from the armor, but that takes away from the rest of the mass and leaves me less protected.

Mom's going to be happy we're going today.

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:14 PM

So, the plan is to join up, yeah?

Malaki 21-Feb-21 07:14 PM

U got a reserve radio transmitter for the house so yall can communicate just in case?

Unready_Access | Emma | Construct BOT 21-Feb-21 07:14 PM

Good idea. I'll keep that on my person.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:14 PM

plan is to join up, or if thats unviable, at least establish an indie team

Malaki 21-Feb-21 07:15 PM

One of the 2

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:15 PM

I think we could pull off an indie team.

Unready_Access | Emma | Construct BOT 21-Feb-21 07:15 PM

Pulling off an indie team is dangerous.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:15 PM

yeah i dont have much faith in the indie team idea

randomhuman44 21-Feb-21 07:15 PM

You know SS is going to be pissed that UA didn't tell her bout powers. Oh well.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:16 PM

its the only alternative tho

Unready_Access | Emma | Construct BOT 21-Feb-21 07:16 PM

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:16 PM

I guess I don't really like the idea of being told how to spend my charges by a boss or whatever.

Malaki 21-Feb-21 07:16 PM

Oh yeah UA will be Wards while CPP will be Protectorate

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:16 PM

That too. We'll be split up.

Malaki 21-Feb-21 07:16 PM

They prolly cant tell you how to spend ur charges

At least not off the job

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:17 PM

honestly, better them than us

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:17 PM

Maybe, but there'll be a lot of pressure. Maybe we could sign up as indie capes for now, and join later?

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:17 PM

they have experience with dauntless

they can probably provide better advice on what to charge than we ever could

Unready_Access | Emma | Construct BOT 21-Feb-21 07:17 PM

I guess I don't really like the idea of being told how to spend my charges by a boss or whatever.

randomhuman44 21-Feb-21 07:18 PM

It's a valid worry, since you don't have the Dauntless protection against other people using your stuff I would say let them dictate a few charges, but make sure you keep most for yourself.

Awake 21-Feb-21 07:18 PM

But one of those so far isnt rearing its head

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:18 PM

Sure, they can't make me use my charges, but they'll try to guilt trip me into doing what they want with them.

Awake 21-Feb-21 07:19 PM

Yeah, dont tell them all the charges you have

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:19 PM

Dauntless is the only one who can use his items, he can't share them around.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:19 PM

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:19 PM

guilt tripping implies the organization itself likes to be childish, which would be weird for a professional military agency

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 07:19 PM

Malaki 21-Feb-21 07:25 PM

That's fine that is your decision

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:25 PM

because as an indie, coil's gonna be gunning for you anyways

even if he doesn't have your identity, all that takes is one sniper round to the brain in an alt timeline

randomhuman44 21-Feb-21 07:26 PM

coil doesn't really assassinate people when he could threaten their families and force recruit them instead

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 07:26 PM

how do you think he'd look for info

disposable timeline murder attempts to pick info off the body

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:47 PM

concept costume is also charged

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 09:47 PM

"I have a model arclance at 9 charges."

"It looks like the real thing, and it acts like a normal taser."

"I also have a costume at 5 charges."

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:48 PM

well, acted like a normal taser last time you checked

you charged it several times since then

two charges at first defiant, two more charges later, i think during costume phase

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 09:49 PM

"Both work, but since I've looked at the real arclance before, that would be preferable."

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 09:49 PM

"Sure. Here."

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 09:49 PM

"Hm..."

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 09:49 PM

Good thing he has tools in his suit, I guess.

Malaki 21-Feb-21 09:49 PM

Yeah

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:49 PM

must be weird for him to hold the working thing

given he used to be pretty thoroughly jealous of dauntless an all

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 09:50 PM

"While this is reminiscent of the real Arclance, it's much weaker."

Malaki 21-Feb-21 09:50 PM

...wat if it has actual internals instead of power bs

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 09:51 PM

"It doesn't seem to be made of tinkertech as far as I can tell - it's made of the same 'hard electricity' as the original."

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:51 PM

i guess thats what happens when you start with a model

Malaki 21-Feb-21 09:51 PM

...wat (edited)

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:51 PM

the power is a boost for whatever a thing is

thats an arclance

therefore, its a better arclance now

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 09:52 PM

"It has a much lower maximum output, however, and it lacks the other abilities the original did."

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:52 PM

hm. i wonder if you'll get a concept for the prolonged defiant interaction

science or heroics or smth

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 09:53 PM

Ooh, that would be good.

I sure hope so.

Awake 21-Feb-21 09:53 PM

Yeah hopefully

You know, if you can get your hands on more rare cards

Might be able to have a whole slew of pocket parahumans to summon

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

Ha! That's the dream.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

i mean, itd be weird if said parahumans were around

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

Action figures

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

hero might be acceptable tho

Awake 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

ACTION FIGURES

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

oh thats a good idea

...wait no.

no, bad idea actually

Malaki 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

We is maximum dumbasses

Awake 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

Wait Hero was Cauldron

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

action figures might become better action figures

Awake 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

Oh that's trueb

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:54 PM

yeah? and? he was the heart of cauldron

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 09:55 PM

Point.

Old Secret ↩️

Reply to: action figures might become better action figures

Awake 21-Feb-21 09:55 PM

Also true

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:55 PM

cards become parahumans, we know that for a fact

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 09:55 PM

Though the model arclance became an actual arclance.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:55 PM

this is full strength defiant we got here

Awake 21-Feb-21 09:55 PM

Tbh resurrecting hero would be good, he could maybe steer Cauldron onto a better track from the inside

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:55 PM

presumably at least

cauldron isn't even a problem right now tho

Awake 21-Feb-21 09:55 PM

After the dome anyways

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 09:55 PM

The playing card didn't just become a better playing card, tbf.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:56 PM

yeah, but you have weird card interactions

Awake 21-Feb-21 09:56 PM

True

You're card-themed

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 09:56 PM

I might see if I can't find a Hero card or action figure.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:56 PM

card would be better tbf

Awake 21-Feb-21 09:56 PM

Anyway, back to the defiant topic,

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:56 PM

if it just makes a shittier version of an actual parahuman, i dont wanna see hero die twice

coughs in leet

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 09:56 PM

Point.

Card it is.

Anyway.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:57 PM

anyways

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 09:57 PM

"What about the costume?"

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 09:57 PM

"That one does seem to be more mundane. Relatively speaking, that is."

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:57 PM

its at like 5 charges

barely supernatural

Malaki 21-Feb-21 09:58 PM

Man i wish we werent having a serious convo rn

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 09:58 PM

"It's made of tinkertech fabric and alloy plates. Not especially good ones, similar to the solar panels, but better than many mundane options."

Malaki 21-Feb-21 09:58 PM

Anyways, yeah kinda saw that coming

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 09:59 PM

"Huh. So it's arbitrarily either tinkertech or not?"

Malaki 21-Feb-21 09:59 PM

Weird

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:59 PM

i think it's just 'whatever is better'

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 09:59 PM

"There would be a pattern to it, we just haven't found it yet."

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 09:59 PM

"It could just be 'whatever is better' or something."

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 09:59 PM

tinkertech fabric and alloy doesnt sound like it'd need maintenance, so

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 09:59 PM

"Could be."

Malaki 21-Feb-21 10:00 PM

Maybe cause unlike the Arclance there was materials in the items to make it more than just energy

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:00 PM

"Hm?"

"Some of the circuitry in the solar panel has fused back together."

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:00 PM

yooo

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:00 PM

"Only very small segments, but it seems to be self-repairing."

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:00 PM

self repairing???

fuck yea

Malaki 21-Feb-21 10:00 PM

Yeah his items repair themselves right?

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 10:01 PM

...Wait, is that how my phone recharges?

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:01 PM

probably

Malaki 21-Feb-21 10:01 PM

Prolly

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 10:01 PM

Oh yeah, and that scratch on the back that fixed itself overnight.

Malaki 21-Feb-21 10:01 PM

Neato!

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:01 PM

your stuff returns to a perfect state when charged

well. default

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 10:01 PM

I think adding charges just increases the 'regeneration rate'.

Wait.

/help Can we get the rate pl0x?

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:02 PM

you said pl0x i cant.

What's this maths shit?

This sheet is a simplified calculator for several item statistics.

You may play around with this copy, Chilly.

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 10:04 PM

Uh, cheers.

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:05 PM

hm. i think this is how long it takes something to go back up to full

also has all rarities

=IF(H3=1, "Common", IF(H3=2, "Uncommon", IF(H3=3, "Rare", IF(H3=4, "Legendary", IF(H3=5, "Divine", "?")))))

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 10:05 PM

Oh, so Legendary is the second highest rarity, then.

Third?

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:06 PM

change the number on the rarity number and you get different tier recharge rates

Malaki 21-Feb-21 10:06 PM

That's prolly why it gave Defiant so much more time

Awake 21-Feb-21 10:06 PM

So as of now you need second to highest tier rarity for summoning

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:06 PM

prolly

was defiant 'legendary' or 'divine' last you checked

ChillyPepperPopper | Anne | Concept BOT 21-Feb-21 10:07 PM

Looks like the recharge rate stays the same on different rarities.

The repair rate, that is to say.

Since it doesn't just do phone charge.

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 10:08 PM

"Just a moment, my power, uh, gave me a spreadsheet."

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:08 PM

...wait, can you direct charges to materials, craftsmanship, or meaningfulness

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:08 PM

"Can I see it?"

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:08 PM

have you been yeeting charges blind??

Malaki 21-Feb-21 10:08 PM

Kinda?

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:09 PM

(lol. ill admit that one was a little deliberate)

Pika 21-Feb-21 10:10 PM

(Lmao)

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:10 PM

"From the looks of it, there's three sections."

Awake 21-Feb-21 10:11 PM

(Sjdhdhdhfhr)

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:11 PM

"The first is related to you - your maximum number of charges, how many days you've had your powers, how many charges you currently have, and some sort of 'bonus'."

Awake 21-Feb-21 10:11 PM

(Defiant: Oh you got a notification from- What's a discord?)

Malaki 21-Feb-21 10:12 PM

(No idea how to use the bonus either)

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:12 PM

(bonus mightve been a day 1 bonus)

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:12 PM

"The charge cap is determined by how many days have passed, it seems."

Limina Idling | Hours 21-Feb-21 10:12 PM

(aka all charges blown in the day)

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:13 PM

"One week gives you a one-charge increase in your cap."

1

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 10:13 PM

"And I regenerate to my charge cap every midnight, so that also increases how fast I get charges."

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:13 PM

"Your power grows exponentially, it would seem."

1

"The second section is for the item you're charging, I presume."

"There seem to be three statistics that determine the rarity of an item."

"Materials, Craftsmanship, and Meaningfulness."

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 10:16 PM

"So, what it's made of, how well it's made, and what it means to people?"

"So a mass-produced gold ingot could have the same rarity as a beloved piece of trash?"

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:16 PM

"It seems so."

"The rarity scale is rather harsh - these three values need to have a mean of at least the rarity number to give it that rarity."

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 10:19 PM

"..."

"In English, please?"

Malaki 21-Feb-21 10:20 PM

(Hah)

Awake 21-Feb-21 10:20 PM

(F)

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:20 PM

"To get an item of Divine rarity, you'd need a 5 in each stat."

"For Legendary, the three values would need to add up to at least three times the rarity number, 4."

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 10:21 PM

"Okay, I think I get it?"

"Uh, let's move on."

Pika 21-Feb-21 10:21 PM

Pika 21-Feb-21 10:22 PM

(Lol)

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:22 PM

"Last is the output column."

"It seems to be information about the item in question."

"This includes the rarity and rarity number, as well as how fast it repairs."

"The repair speed in hours seems to be equal to 1024 divided by the number of charges to the power of two."

"A quadratic function, in other words."

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 10:24 PM

"I'm... uh, not the best at maths."

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:25 PM

"Anyway, the point is, the more charges, the faster it repairs."

"Something with 50 charges will repair fully in just over 24 minutes, for instance."

"Whereas one charge would be a little over 6 weeks."

"There's also a maximum number of charges that one item can hold."

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 10:27 PM

"There is?!"

1

"I hadn't run into that one yet!"

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:28 PM

"It seems to be your own charge cap multiplied by the rarity of the item."

"So, a Common item could currently hold 12 charges, but in 4 days, it'll increase to 13 along with your charge cap."

"Uncommon is 24, Rare is 36..."

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 10:29 PM

"Oh."

"The only things I've raised over 10 have been Rare and Legendary, respectively."

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:30 PM

"You did say you'd been spreading the charges out."

Anne BOT 21-Feb-21 10:31 PM

"Yeah..."

"I guess that's what makes Dauntless stronger than me, then."

Defiant BOT 21-Feb-21 10:31 PM

"Is there a reason everything we say has been appearing as notifications?"
