i look away for 1 second to work on the baba is you jump and will drops the funniest line all day

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:55 PM

the best lies have a grain of truth

Oh oh. Ask her if she figured out any of the island's threats

Would be nice to not be blindsided

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:56 PM

oh, thats a good idea

id say subtly let her get the synthesis level system too - if she gets it in her head that you can boost other people's powers, and this helps with the headaches, she'll probably be pretty happy

William BOT 13-Feb-21 05:57 PM

"Don't suppose you've figured out any threats this island might have?"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:57 PM

and shes probably wise enough to not say anything

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 05:57 PM

The class system isn't really... subtle. At all.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:57 PM

ah

in that case nvm

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 05:58 PM

Have you read those Gamer fics? It's like that.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:58 PM

we can give it to her later

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:58 PM

big popups and dinging huh (edited)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:58 PM

having a bass boosted thinker on our side is probably helpful

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 05:59 PM

"You're pretty confident that I'd be able to figure those out."

William BOT 13-Feb-21 05:59 PM

Right, she's in her civvies.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 05:59 PM

she's proven that she's pretty astute thus far

William BOT 13-Feb-21 05:59 PM

"You just seemed like the thinker-y type to me."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 05:59 PM

Tell her that you also have a thinker power? Unless you want to just reveal the whole thing, which I doubt

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 05:59 PM

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:00 PM

that was. entirely too blunt

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:00 PM

Probably.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:00 PM

Or you can do your best Tattletale impression I guess.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:00 PM

Well, it's not like everyone knows about the PRT threat ratings.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:00 PM

point, but idk how common it is outside the prt - i knwo villains specifically dont think about things in prt threat terms

they have other classifications like teleporter and stuff

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:01 PM

Point.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:01 PM

more slapdash

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:01 PM

Anyway. ask her if she figured out the threats again I dun wanna get sidetracked here

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:01 PM

I guess I've had enough of A Day that I don't really care enough anymore.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:01 PM

lets not push her on the threats thing given we all but outed her

she puts a lot of stock into the whole unwritten rules thing

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:02 PM

Don't worry, I don't think anyone else is listening in.

She pulled me aside for this.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:02 PM

ah

ok, thats a relief

Limina Idling | Hours

she puts a lot of stock into the whole unwritten rules thing

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:03 PM

On an island with no family and no job and no society? Well I guess everyone has their hangups. She did push the rules pretty hard in canon.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:03 PM

she likes to keep to the rules so she can manipulate them

re: panacea

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:03 PM

In any case, Will here is already unmasked

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:03 PM

yeah true

you should probably clarify that that wasnt a threat, you're just letting her know you know so there's no bullshit 'i know you know i know you know' games

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:04 PM

Should I just give her the class system? Only the user themselves can see the screens.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:04 PM

id say so

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:04 PM

Ask her first

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:04 PM

ask yea

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:04 PM

"Sorry if that sounded threatening or anything, that wasn't the intention."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:04 PM

If she doesn't agree she'll be paranoid about Teacher for the rest of this loop

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:05 PM

"By the way, you know how I get more powers over time? One of them lets me permanently give other people powers with no side effects. I've been handing it out to all the capes, but do you want it?"

"It works like a class system in an RPG."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:06 PM

i mean

othala exists

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:06 PM

Othala ain't permanent

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:06 PM

neither is teacher

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:06 PM

The only permanent power granters in worm all had master effects or similar

Teacher is permanent enough

Years rather than hours

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 06:07 PM

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:07 PM

im gonna grab the wiki page on this

that sounds incorrect

'Teacher's power decays over time.[28] There have been almost no cases where Teacher’s power lasted more than a few days without a refresher, with the brainwashing wearing off over a few weeks or months,[31] but in at least one case the power remained active for several years without being refreshed,[32] with the subject showing sign similar to addiction.[33] Despite this, Teacher claims his methods are less invasive than actual brain tampering.[34]'

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 06:08 PM

"I can see why you'd compare your powers to Eidolon, now."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:08 PM

lmao

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:08 PM

Huh, so Saint was a unique case? Weird.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:08 PM

yep, p much

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:10 PM

"Do you want it?"

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 06:10 PM

"Don't mind if I do."

"'Field Informant'?"

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:12 PM

Fits. Not a very special name though.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:12 PM

Yeah.

"It grows when you use it. You can also get more classes. They max out at level 100."

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 06:13 PM

"That's-! You can-!"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:13 PM

'welcome to eidolon by way of dauntless'

lmao

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:13 PM

Anyway. After this ask about threats again. If she doesn't know she doesn't know, but I don't want to get stabbed by a tree if she knew about them.

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 06:14 PM

"If you value your freedom, don't tell a soul about this. This is the sort of power that people will go to WAR over."

"And you're going to grow from here?"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:14 PM

oh, not even the yangban would be able to keep you contained forever

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:14 PM

By the time we get out of these islands Will will be able to go to war with the entirety of the wormverse though

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 06:14 PM

Unless they just kept him sedated and stole his crystals to use themselves.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:15 PM

...Thanks for that.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:15 PM

...have we actually tested whether others can actually use them? That's kinda important info.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:15 PM

We haven't. Should I give Monika the next one, then?

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:15 PM

Yes

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:15 PM

ye

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:16 PM

Though that might be a bit borked, since she's an official jumpchain companion (tm)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:17 PM

hm... honestly, kind of thinking lisa would be a good fit in here - shes a good mix of morally grey that fits with what measures we do to try and stay a step ahead of everything

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:17 PM

I guess so. But who should I give one to, then?

Lisa could work, I guess.

She just seems a bit self-interested, and I can't be sure she won't try to hold this over me.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:18 PM

Worst case scenario, you die and loop resets

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 06:18 PM

Actually, #3 should still be around, right? Since they weren't Tattletale.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:18 PM

true, thats a good point

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:18 PM

mine or Monika?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:18 PM

monika

yours is a good point too tho, but i doubt itd come to that

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:19 PM

I don't exactly want to die, but you make a good point too.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 06:19 PM

for one, will has a lung

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:19 PM

Mmm. I'm having trouble remembering who landed where now that it has happened twice

Anyway We just have to keep giving her crystals until she's in the exact same position as us lol

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:20 PM

I saw two people going to an island just east of this one.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:21 PM

second or third island from the center?

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:21 PM

To the right and slightly down from the Eyelit Clearing.

lazypika ↩️

Reply to: Mo-I thought I'd add labels to the islands Kenta was able to see.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:21 PM

second, okay then

Pika 13-Feb-21 06:21 PM

(Brb, dinner)

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 06:32 PM

We could reference the islands with polar coordinates So Flooded shelter would be Northwest-2, or NW-2 Eyelit clearing would be N-2 Chittering Shores would be N-1

Awake 13-Feb-21 06:45 PM

True

William BOT 13-Feb-21 06:55 PM

Oh, good idea. We really needed a proper system for that.

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:01 PM

There wasn't really anything interesting when I explored the clearing, by the way.

The grass there was yellow, but that's about it.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:02 PM

weird yellow or normal yellow

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:02 PM

Unnatural-looking yellow. Gold - the colour, not the metal.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:02 PM

coughs in natural trigger

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:02 PM

The trees have yellow and dark purple leaves - the yellow ones are on the top, and the purple ones are on the bottom.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:03 PM

that might be a running theme, natural trigger related stuff gold, cauldron vial trigger silver

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:04 PM

It could be.

We'll have to watch out for more of that in the future, if that is the case.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:04 PM

lol Gold like tattletale's hair Purple like her costume

the trees anyway

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:05 PM

...If it's just that Is2g

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:05 PM

Point

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:05 PM

This is her island

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:05 PM

Eyelit clearing, like the eye symbol on her costume.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:05 PM

Yeee

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:05 PM

I mean I could be wrong but that kind of jumped out at me

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:06 PM

It's a good catch.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:06 PM

Her ego going to zoom up lol

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:06 PM

God.

I guess I'm just never telling her, then.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:07 PM

lmao

she already knows id assume

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:08 PM

Sigh.

Just what we wanted.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:08 PM

Oh did you ever ask her again bout threats on island got sidetracked by her finding out bout epic trump powers

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:08 PM

Point.

"By the way, did you notice any threats here?"

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:09 PM

"I mean, I don't know where we are right now, so I have no idea if there's anyone around who'll try to kidnap you."

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:09 PM

Oh yeah, that's what we were talking about.

"Like, wildlife threats. Immediate deadly stuff."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:10 PM

Do we want to fill her in on the general island situation Would raise questions on how you know it

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:10 PM

That's what I'm wary of.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:11 PM

i mean, you do have a story - you ended up on another island

then moved over hear

you told browbeat, she can learn from him

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:11 PM

Point.

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:12 PM

"There's something dangerous in the woods, but they won't approach the clearings. The grass - it's deadly to them."

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:12 PM

she's going to freak out even more once she learns about the time loop though problems for future william

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:13 PM

"Any idea what that something is?"

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:13 PM

she might play it off as precog

but anyways it sounds like cutting down trees and encouraging grass growth is a thing that should happen

farming constellation has a use now

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:14 PM

"Some are birds, I think. There's also some sort of bigger creatures in there."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:14 PM

deep sigh

fucking birds

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:15 PM

even the planes aren't safe now

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:15 PM

"There's also some sort of wildlife that can survive the grass, a cow-like species, but they're herbivorous. I think they migrate between the grassy clearings."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:15 PM

seriously, when you're not de-stressing/scavving or anything, searching for the birds.chr file would be awesome

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:15 PM

I'd be more than happy to delete the birds.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:16 PM

we'll be cheering you on for that

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:16 PM

if they're constructs like the piranhas they might just come back later

unless you can delete whatever makes them

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:16 PM

but monika would know where they show up at

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:16 PM

I could just write a program to keep deleting them.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:16 PM

hell, might be able to screw with their targeting so they cant hurt anyone

...actually, could you write a program to automate the search?

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:17 PM

Don't think so.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:17 PM

fuck.

Monika

I could just write a program to keep deleting them.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:17 PM

Assuming the file pops up in the same place every time, that would work

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:17 PM

hopefully once you're high level you can program in a search function for this stuff

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:17 PM

Yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:18 PM

coding warlock

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:18 PM

"Do you know where a source of food would be?"

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:19 PM

"Aside from the livestock, there's fruit growing on the trees. It's safe for human consumption, don't worry."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:19 PM

ok, thats some major relief

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:20 PM

There's also a spring for fresh water in the clearing, and probably more elsewhere.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:20 PM

(whoops, lisa got the internet swamp gas)

Pika 13-Feb-21 07:20 PM

(Oops)

(Lol)

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:20 PM

(lol)

there may be some rivers

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:21 PM

That would make sense.

Anything else we want to ask her?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:22 PM

if she's seen any other capes dropping out of the sky, if that's what it looks like

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:22 PM

...Man, it's weird talking to her. Unlike the others, I actually saw Sarah-the-actor around the set and talked with her and stuff.

Awake 13-Feb-21 07:22 PM

Ah

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:22 PM

I don't think we're on the material plane until we land, but I'll ask.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:22 PM

gotta love cognitive dissonance

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:23 PM

"Did you see anyone drop from the sky?"

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:23 PM

"Drop from- no, I didn't."

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:24 PM

So, how much do we read her into the situation with... us, and stuff?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:25 PM

personally, id say we read her in as much as we can, companion and all, try and be friends with her - she isnt 100% selfish, she was friends with the other undersiders even if she hyperfocused on taylor

i could see her being around as beneficial in the long run

admittedly, she might try to manipulate things, there's arguments to be made against this

hm... dammit brain stop being wishy washy

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:28 PM

The manipulation is why I'm so hesitant.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:29 PM

i think being up front that there's friendly villainous capes on the island in other places, but we suggested they stay away to keep the drama low until we can get people warmed up to the idea that theyre allies would be a good idea

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:29 PM

Right.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:30 PM

They're people living in Lisa's territory, they're used to villains to an extent The problem is that it's Lung and Fenja

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:30 PM

yeahhhh

hopefully she picks up that youre trying to un-fuck their heads

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:31 PM

"By the way, I might as well say who 'the others' are. A new parahuman named Cadenza, plus Lung and Fenja. I didn't think the civvies would take the latter two well, so they're staying in a different clearing at the moment."

"I've been trying to therapy-ify them."

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:32 PM

"You say that as if you've spoken to them already. How? You just got here."

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:32 PM

"Time loop."

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:32 PM

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:32 PM

if she says impossible you can bring up phir se, if she's heard of him

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:32 PM

I think I broke her.

"This is my second time through, so I've already spent some time with them and learned a bit about the area."

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:33 PM

"..."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:33 PM

she's probably pieced together that this is why you were sure you couldnt be dead

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:33 PM

"Fine. That might as well be a thing."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:34 PM

lisa's power is probably having fun tryina figure out that one

and the rest of them, for that matter

would not be surprised if lung started developing thinker power when he escalates from here on

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:35 PM

If the shards are at all able to get information like that still ,they're all probably wondering wtf is going on

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:35 PM

"I'm going to go help up the others now. There's orders that need to be given."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:36 PM

prolly for the best, yea

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:36 PM

"Think you can compile everything you know about the islands? Here's a notepad and paper."

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:36 PM

"Sure."

Lisa BOT 13-Feb-21 07:36 PM

"Ta ta for now."

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:37 PM

lol, cant believe she actually said that

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:37 PM

I guess it is on brand for her.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:37 PM

gg

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:38 PM

So, it looks like we'll be setting up shelters and figuring out food supplies.

There's enough fruit on the surrounding trees to feed the group for a few days, but we'll need to start going in deeper eventually.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:38 PM

despite everything you just dropped in her lap, im p sure she's happy for the extra hands

William

So, it looks like we'll be setting up shelters and figuring out food supplies.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:38 PM

That was the plan even before TT, not a big surprise

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:39 PM

we'll want to chop down trees as we go, so the grass can grow

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:39 PM

Once we get the tools for it. We still need to build those.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:40 PM

ye

then again, a good blaster power would make that easier too

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:40 PM

Point.

Well, it's getting late.

We really lucked out on the timing of when people were brought here, because a bunch of them were about to go off to do jobs, so they had bags full of tools and stuff.

Group morale is alright. Nothing spectacular, but nothing bad either.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:46 PM

woo

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:47 PM

There's some vines in the forest - Lisa confirmed they're safe - so we used them and some sticks and leaves to make some basic shelters.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:48 PM

noice

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:48 PM

The nights are actually pretty warm - at least they were on the Flooded Shelter - so we can probably just sleep outside if need be.

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:49 PM

Oh, the grass glows at night.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:49 PM

ooh, thats convenient

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:49 PM

That's interesting!

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:49 PM

id bet it grows fast too

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:50 PM

I hope so.

Well, it's the next day.

I'm the only one awake aside from Velocity.

I guess the others aren't used to the faster days yet.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:52 PM

seems like it

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:52 PM

I have a crystal. Should I use it now, or save 'em?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:52 PM

the plan was to spam 0-200 crystals

i see no reason to deviate

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:52 PM

The thing is, getting the Eiffel Tower again isn't going to get us enough food to keep everyone fed for very long.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:52 PM

I thought the plan was to give one to Monika

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:53 PM

raidable farm

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:53 PM

Ahh, point.

Getting a farm would be good, yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:53 PM

actually, yea, could just try to spam 100's

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 07:53 PM

Well, her or Tattletale anyway

William BOT 13-Feb-21 07:53 PM

So, Monika or Tattletale?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:53 PM

passing a crystal off to monika seems like a good idea

at the same time, different clearing

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 07:54 PM

The thing is, I won't be there to help all the civilians out.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 07:54 PM

she's gonna be in charge of keeping these people alive, and i think she's enough of a bleeding heart that that's gonna be her main goal for the foreseeable future - she may try to get more powers out of you for that purpose, but she also probably sees you as probably enough of a risk taker given you're just letting her have this that her mind jumps back to taylor and reggie

kindness leading to favors...

wait. ASRIEL

hm.

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 08:16 PM

Why did it just give us a perk name though Did we already discover that one?

it does that when we know the perk

System BOT 13-Feb-21 08:17 PM

Note: Non-jumpers cannot take companions.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 08:17 PM

dang it

Integrity (100 cp, Free Entertainer): When people see you, they can tell right away, "This is the genuine article". You've got a strong sense of self, and you'd never sell out or follow trends. Why would you? You're a star, after all! So long as you stay true to yourself and who you are, you have an infectious charisma that makes people want to like you- Even if who you are is blatantly malevolent, though in that case it might be a more "Love to Hate" kind of deal. a reminder of integrity

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 08:18 PM

Does tattletale really need more of this

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 08:18 PM

too late to go back now

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 08:19 PM

Eh yeah ik I meant this perk in particular, it seems like she already has

System BOT 13-Feb-21 08:20 PM

Note: Perks stack.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 08:21 PM

tbh, the 'strong sense of self' thing may keep her from being a dick, since she seems like a decent if self-interested person at her core

William BOT 13-Feb-21 08:23 PM

I think the kindness one looks like the best bet.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 08:23 PM

probably yeah

its got my vote, im not sitting here for 2 hours searching through 300+ jump docs

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 08:24 PM

I vaguely remember a perk that made it so when you help people you always end up getting repaid somehow If I absolutely had to guess it's that. Probably not though

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 08:25 PM

theres several 'your kindness will be repaid' things out there

...actually

i changed my mind 2 is best

because if she really did want to extort you, she could just keep doin nice things and youd be screwed out of all your crystals

William BOT 13-Feb-21 08:26 PM

We want to give her infectious charisma?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 08:26 PM

infectious charisma isn't a master effect that forces you to repay her for anything kind she does (edited)

William BOT 13-Feb-21 08:27 PM

Point.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 08:27 PM

and it may come with a side of 'at my core im a caring person'

William BOT 13-Feb-21 08:27 PM

So, 2, then?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 08:27 PM

seems like the best of all options

for our purposes at least

reading the perk, the spirit of it seems to be 'your integrity makes you come off as a much more likeable person'

which makes me think papyrus

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 08:29 PM

It's actually from the 'Mettaton' perks line. Entertainer.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 08:29 PM

itll give her some integrity, hopefully

System BOT 13-Feb-21 08:31 PM

Perk 1: A Pure Heart (Cinderella) (100CP) It would be easy for people to be unappreciative when you do nice things for them, or to abuse your kindness or your honest nature. It would be, if it weren’t for how bad they’d feel about it. You’re just so... so good at being good that no one has the heart to take advantage of you. Even the most dastardly and evil fiends wouldn’t be willing to screw you over. When you do someone a favour, they remember it and will pay it back upon request so long as it is within their power. Perk 3: Great Cunning (Harry Potter) (100CP) You are a natural social manipulator and have a finely tuned sense for danger. You know just how far to push something before it’s time to get out and save your own neck.

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 08:32 PM

Looks like you guys were right about the kindness one.

We can work on more shelters, that would be a good idea.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 08:47 PM

We have easy food for three more days [ie 12 hour days], so we'll need to do something about that.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 08:47 PM

if shielder can level his shield-creating ability to start knocking down or cutting down trees, thatd help a lot generally just knocking down trees you have food from to expand the area some would be a good idea

William BOT 13-Feb-21 08:49 PM

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:11 PM

protection divination sounds like body mod

William BOT 13-Feb-21 09:11 PM

Agreed.

So, pros and cons of each?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:11 PM

Blank I and II (-100/-200 EP): Abilities which gather information about your past, present, or future do not work on you. This includes scrying, divination, mind reading, and even cold reading and lie detection. If you have the Essential Mutuality perk, your affected companions gain the full benefit of your Blank perk. ○ I: You are immune to all supernatural abilities which perform the functions described above. You simply do not register to such abilities, though your own abilities function normally. Purely mundane skills at cold reading or lie detection will be less effective, but still function to some degree. Dsc: Sch/Ass/Arc/Sup/Lch/Bea/Dra/Exp/Hea ○ II: Even mundane versions of the above items do not function against you. Furthermore, you are able to detect when someone is actively attempting to discern such information through supernatural means and feed them false information of the type they expect. Thus, you can feed an image of yourself asleep in bed to a scrying spell while you’re secretly across town beating up thugs or you can have a truth detection spell return ‘truth’ when you are telling a lie. Note that this does not protect you from compulsions to tell the truth or share information directly. Dsc: Sch/Ass/Arc/Sup/Lch/Bea/Dra/Exp/Hea

William BOT 13-Feb-21 09:11 PM

That looks right.

Even cold reading and lie detection

That sounds like the best one so far.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:16 PM

50 GP (five free City, two free Dungeon) - Expanded Facilities - Your guild base includes several bits of infrastructure that normally wouldn’t be found in it. These could include things like saunas and onsens, a marketplace, a port (for bases with access to water, or large enough to have internal rivers), training facilities, shops for luxury goods, high end restaurants, luxury living accomodations, or similar. You may purchase this option as many times as you want, for as many different things you can think of. A single purchase of an option provides enough of that particular thing to supply and support the entirety of the guild base. These options always seem to have enough supplies and materials to continue performing regular business, in whatever form that might take. For options that would nominally make money in a regular economy they will, somehow, contribute towards your Treasury, providing your guild base with a steady supply of Yggdrasil gold coins giving you a healthy, if not particularly impressive, amount of self sufficiency.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 09:17 PM

Would that fit 'learning', though?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:17 PM

nope

well, it could, but probably not

Classroom (-50 WP): This provides your Reality with a large classroom for you and your companions to use for teaching and learning new things. It is outfitted with all the basic classroom equipment like tables and writing board. If you’ve Got the Powa, this includes A/V setups and personal computers, and with Pipes, Pipes, Pipes it includes lab equipment. With any of the Food Options it includes cooking tutorial equipment, with a MedBay it includes first aid and medical education supplies, with workshops it includes a teaching workshop of the same kind. Whenever you acquire new technology that could be beneficial to teaching, the Classroom automatically updates to include it if you have Central Control. Also provides basic supplies for all students and slightly boosts teaching aptitude for the teacher, as well as learning speed and concentration for students. All possible safety equipment is automatically installed at no extra cost. Each classroom can seat up to 50 students comfortably. If you have Jump Recording, the classroom can replay all previous classes for new students.

At default it will be the usual set of Harem, belly dance looking lingerie made out of see through silk, but they have the ability to shapeshift into other outfits for all tastes. Want a metal version of a Bikini like in Star Wars? You got it. A sexy Maid Outfit with a ripped skirt? Doable. Incredible revealing swimsuit? Go nuts! These outfits are self-cleaning, self-repairing upon command, can’t be stolen or lost and are incredibly comfortable to be in no matter what. They have something about them that make people want to wear it. Additionally, no one will see the particular choice of clothes as weird.

id die before i found 'clean clothes' in that many jumps

System BOT 13-Feb-21 09:34 PM

Perk 3: Clothes (Generic Time Loop Gauntlet) (100CP) The timing of your loops may not allow for a lot of time spent on personal hygiene, but these can make up for that somewhat. A set of plain looking clothes, consisting of a shirt, pants, underwear, socks, and shoes. When donning and wearing these clothes, you will always be instantly cleaned as if from a good shower, and they can change appearance at a thought, allowing you to replicate the appearance of any mundane outfit needed.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 09:34 PM

OH

Okay, I can... not understand, but understand-adjacent why that's in the supplements section.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:35 PM

this thing is mocking you

its mocking you and making me suffer

fucking clothes.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 09:35 PM

Yep.

At least I have it in there, right?

randomhuman44 13-Feb-21 09:36 PM

we just wrecked lisa with blank didn't we?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:36 PM

now we never need to bother searching for it again

System BOT 13-Feb-21 09:36 PM

Note: Things from the Generic Time Loop Supplement do not need to be slotted to be kept.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:36 PM

does this jump count as generic time loop gauntlet then?

wrecked lisa, yea, but also prevented any specific targeting from whatever is im sure is piloting the creatures on these islands (edited)

System BOT 13-Feb-21 09:38 PM

This jump does not match the details of the generic time loop gauntlet. The loop length is 10 years, and the number of loops is indefinite.

Admin Fenris BOT 13-Feb-21 09:39 PM

So, long story short, we need to solve this or else everything everywhere will be stuck in a loop of repeating time forever.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:39 PM

given will gets 250 points for slots every time he loops, this is an inevitability

eventually, it will be harder for him to lose than win, and thats it

Admin Fenris BOT 13-Feb-21 09:40 PM

If those are the terms for closing the loop, that is.

It could just reach 10 years and reset the loop again.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:40 PM

well, never know until we try

it could also be 'until he sparks' which could be a while

but hey, if nothing else, this is some good training if you wanted to be a benefactor ig

William BOT 13-Feb-21 09:41 PM

It better not be the spark thing.

If I joined the CoR, I'd need to pick something non-Jumpchain, but I'm sure I could find something.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:43 PM

isekai is pretty popular, or you could make something original

Admin Fenris BOT 13-Feb-21 09:44 PM

Admin Fenris BOT 13-Feb-21 09:46 PM

The CoR has a group project thing in their training system, so I might use it for that.

Since Minecraft is so generic, I won't even have to change my personality! Perfect!

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 09:47 PM

there's also the fact modded minecraft crosses with fucktons of series

theyll end up in worm, immediately go to cauldron, have an oops moment with a cauldron vial after spilling all the meta knowledge, end up looking like an enderman, then get dumped in brockton bay. steven universe will be the writer for silverbell, who changes name to Nora DeMayo persona 5 will be rei Amamiya pokemon will just go by Ashley Ketchum the gamer will be called jacob, no relation to jack slash i hope

Why not just try to work with everyone instead of... that?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:19 PM

he was probably thinking about the effect the gangs were having on the bay long term, and how killing leviathan could help his career stop stalling

two birds, one stone if it worked, and 'nobody would ever find out'

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:20 PM

...

That makes sense.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:21 PM

he's a decent person - he works in the protectorate rather than helping contribute to the world declining - but he's kind of an idiot sometimes and is prone to tunnel vision

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:21 PM

That fits what I know of him.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:22 PM

like i said, ultimately he got a wake-up call, did better in the aftermath - he rebranded as defiant, joined the guild, and started working directly with dragon to help deal with the s9. helped get the siberian killed

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:26 PM

I had to hang from the mouth of an animatronic Dragon-suit, I can back that up.

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:27 PM

Well, I'm glad to know that he ends up doing better for himself.

At least he's alive right now. I'd hate for him to be dead.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:27 PM

yeah, ultimately he survives through everything - marries dragon, too

ultimately its pretty uplifting

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:28 PM

I didn't think he was the type to ever get married, but I'm happy for him.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:38 PM

Anyway, we still haven't found the other person who should be on this island, so we were thinking of getting you and Shielder to look for them.

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:38 PM

Fine by me.

You're going to stay here, then?

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:39 PM

That's the plan.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:39 PM

the idea was to keep as many capes around to make folks feel safe, even if will's not exactly powerful rn

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:40 PM

And you're the most charismatic of our group. I can understand the decision.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:40 PM

Haha, thanks.

We'll keep on with the building while you search.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:41 PM

we got one more reveal for when you get back - not the biggest, but a relevant one

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:43 PM

I see.

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:44 PM

Oh, looks like one of the kids brought a soccer ball with them, so everyone's having a game during the break.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:44 PM

ooh, nice!

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:44 PM

We've set up enough shelter for 75% of the group so far, so that's going well.

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:44 PM

No luck on finding #3.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:44 PM

dang

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:45 PM

They must be in a clearing further away, then.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:45 PM

probably, yeah, or searching through the woods

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:45 PM

I hope not, the woods are apparently dangerous.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:46 PM

heres hoping they figured out they are, yea

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:46 PM

Yeah.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:46 PM

ok so, reveal for when ya got back

tattletale's helping lead the camp and we gave her better social skills and hopefully a boosted sense of self and empathy

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:47 PM

She is?

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:48 PM

yep - figured giving the thinker better abilities to keep everyone alive was a good idea, plus we wanted to figure out if will's crystal generation power works for others

it does but he has to pick the perks

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:48 PM

Actually, I do remember seeing someone that looked like her actress.

You can give other people your powers?

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:48 PM

Yeah, my power gives me a crystal a day that I can break to get powers. I can combine crystals into bigger ones to get better powers.

Monika BOT 13-Feb-21 11:49 PM

We wanted to test whether other people could use them, so he gave one to Tattletale.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:49 PM

context: the eiffel tower was a 200 cp power, the medical skills he got were two 100 cp powers

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:49 PM

And one crystal is 100CP.

Velocity BOT 13-Feb-21 11:49 PM

...So you can get an Eiffel Tower every two days.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:50 PM

or equivalent

its pretty random

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:50 PM

Well, I can't pick the powers I get, but yeah.

Actually, I have one right now, I can use it and show you how it works.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:51 PM

typically power selection is where we chime in, and sometimes we can preemptively find perks if we can figure out what the word associations with the clues the system gives mean

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:52 PM

I'm trying to get the farm again, which is only 100CP.

System BOT 13-Feb-21 11:53 PM

Companionship, Recruiting, Toolkits.

Limina Idling | Hours 13-Feb-21 11:54 PM

hm... toolkits could be useful considering current issues, but so could companionship considering asriel is free, though we dont know if azzy's in here by default

im voting toolkits

William BOT 13-Feb-21 11:54 PM

Toolkits it is.

System BOT 14-Feb-21 12:00 AM

Perk 1: [Skinning, Usable] Perk 2: [Diamond, Set] Perk 3: [Supplies, Competence]

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:00 AM

diamond set sounds like minecraft

diamond armor

3 sounds like the best one tho

Tool Pack (100, Discount Miner [all enchantments also discount Miner]): You start with a set of Diamond Tools, a Bow, a Fishing Rod, and a complete suit of Diamond Armour, which essentially starts you off at the traditional Minecraft endgame. These tools and armour all have the ‘Unbreaking’ enchantment, preventing them from wearing out over time. Unlike the conventional enchantment, these diamond tools will last forever, and will be immune to any effect that would destroy them.

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:03 AM

That does sound good.

But the last one feels more relevant to out current situation.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:04 AM

minecraft diamond gear isnt that great anymore, now that netherite is a thing

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:04 AM

Half the creatures around here don't even seem to leave corpses, so the first one doesn't seem that useful.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:04 AM

unbreaking is great, sure, but also yea, 1 is all but useless

Monika BOT 14-Feb-21 12:05 AM

'Supplies' could mean regenerating supplies, too.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:05 AM

ooh, true

if nothing else, this also sounds like it could be applied to knowledge of how best to use crystals

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:06 AM

Something in Toolkits?

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:06 AM

well, its 'supplies, competence'

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:06 AM

Point.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:06 AM

and we know these constellations are crap

Admin Fenris BOT 14-Feb-21 12:07 AM

They really are.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:07 AM

i mean supplements isnt even just supplements

something i will maintain salt levels over (edited)

Admin Fenris BOT 14-Feb-21 12:07 AM

The Technology domain should really be broken into two separate domains, honestly.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:08 AM

smh

Admin Fenris BOT 14-Feb-21 12:08 AM

System, fix your system!

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:09 AM

if telling it to do that actually worked

System BOT 14-Feb-21 12:09 AM

There are no self-editing modules outside of systems to add new jump documents.

Admin Fenris BOT 14-Feb-21 12:09 AM

Boo.

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:09 AM

So, are we going for two or three?

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:10 AM

three

Monika BOT 14-Feb-21 12:10 AM

I agree.

Velocity BOT 14-Feb-21 12:10 AM

This has all been rather illuminating.

System BOT 14-Feb-21 12:11 AM

Perk 1: Skinning Knife (LoZ Breath of the Wild) (100CP) This knife has a sickening sheen to it...you’ll find that monster and animal hide (as well as organs and other body parts) shorn from the corpse of their former owner with this knife comes off amazingly clean and usable. You’ll never have to fear destroying the valuable organs in extracting them, or tearing the hide to ribbons with shaky hands.

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:11 AM

Oh yeah, it doesn't tell me what I get when I pick something I don't know.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:11 AM

yee

so i was right

:smug_dancing:

Monika BOT 14-Feb-21 12:13 AM

The diamond gear would've been good, especially if it came with the enchantments as part of the same group.

But let's see what you got.

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:15 AM

Well, it's a decently-sized crate of tools.

Okay never mind, it's bigger on the inside.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:15 AM

ah, tardis physics

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:15 AM

There's a whole bunch of common tools, plus some basic supplies.

2x4s, nails, glue, rope...

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:16 AM

well, thats gonna be handy

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:16 AM

If the supplies regenerate, then even more so.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:17 AM

they may also provide a degree of competence while using them

it'd be nice if so

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:18 AM

When I'm holding the hammer, I feel like I know more about how to use it, so I think you're right.

Any idea what it's from?

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:18 AM

generic zombie apocalypse, maybe

or generic builder

probably not generic builder

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:19 AM

The brand is Danville Construction, if that helps.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:19 AM

it doesnt, that seems to be a real place rather than fiction

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:19 AM

Damn.

Monika BOT 14-Feb-21 12:21 AM

Are there any searches related to Danville?

Like how you scroll down the first page of Google and it has a bunch of similar things other people have searched?

Or autofill options, too.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:21 AM

oh

phineas and ferb

i shouldve known that one

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:22 AM

Oh! That's great!

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:22 AM

i remember actually looking at that jumpdoc at one point, vaguely

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:22 AM

I think I also know how to mass-produce stuff. Freebie?

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:22 AM

Toolbox (100 CP): A toolbox full of common tools, along with some basic supplies, such as 2x4s, nails, glue, and rope. Holds vastly more than the outside would suggest, and new tools and supplies will show up within a day after being used, lost, or broken. Also makes those who use the tools slightly more competent in their usage, enough to avoid any of the minor injuries like hammering your thumb or cutting your finger on a saw.

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:23 AM

Looks like it!

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:23 AM

Choreographic (Free To All): Ever had a feeling you just weren't sure how to express? Well, now you can do so through song. You have a perfect singing voice, combined with a decent understanding of choreography, and the capacity to break into song almost anywhere and have musical accompaniment start up for you.

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:23 AM

Gimme a moment.

"Do, re, mi, fa-"

Nope, don't have that.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:23 AM

Backyard Handywork (100 CP): Who needs a massive machine shop or specially-crafted equipment when you have some plywood and a toolbox? No matter how complex or intricate of a project you might be making, you'll find that you can easily figure out how to substitute commonly available tools and resources for more complex equipment, and still have the final project come out fine. Also comes with a decent understanding of engineering, architecture, and a few other material science fields to help you get started on whatever projects you might want to work on.

that was in the 'child' section

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:24 AM

I mean, I'm not exactly a child, so...

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:24 AM

I Know What We're Going To Do Today (400 CP): 24 hours just doesn't seem like enough time to get stuff accomplished, but you'd be surprised what determination (and this perk) can get you. You can now complete days and even weeks worth of work in just a few hours, and this effect increases tremendously when you have a few helpers, to the point where a small team can work with you to complete years worth of work in a simple afternoon. if it gave you this for free thats wild

Monika BOT 14-Feb-21 12:24 AM

Is there anything for 'mass produce'?

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:25 AM

oh, dimension two drawback comes with perks

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:25 AM

That 400CP one doesn't say 'free' anywhere on it, so I assume not.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:25 AM

Mass Production: You know how to mass produce inventions that you might ordinarily build as one-offs, and can make automated assembly lines to manufacture anything you can make by hand. However, for the duration of this Jump, you’ll be under intense scrutiny all the time, finely calibrated to note any deviation from your assigned tasks. Even after Doofenshmirtz gets defeated, you’ll be listed as a collaborator and required to do community service.

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:26 AM

That would be it, I think.

Velocity BOT 14-Feb-21 12:26 AM

You just got that. For free?

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:26 AM

sometimes that happens

the second scion was free too

Velocity BOT 14-Feb-21 12:26 AM

Can you get tinker-like powers?

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:26 AM

he can get better than tinker powers

space age bullshit that he can actually understand and teach

Velocity BOT 14-Feb-21 12:27 AM

What?

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:27 AM

Yeah, it's A Thing.

Apparently, one of the domains, 'Improvement', actually has teaching skills in it too.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:28 AM

i know theres a GI joe perk that lets you teach perks

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:28 AM

That sounds like the kind of thing that could be in there. At least, I hope it is.

Monika BOT 14-Feb-21 12:29 AM

You know, I think you'd be better than both Dauntless and Eidolon.

Faster build up and strong, permanent powers.

Well, not quite permanent, but you know what I mean.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:30 AM

pretty much, yeah

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:30 AM

You know, I just remembered that one newspaper perk I skipped ages ago. Would that have given info on the other islands?

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:31 AM

maybe?

who knows

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:31 AM

Well, it was 50CP or something, so maybe not.

Just a random thought.

Monika BOT 14-Feb-21 12:32 AM

Well, you should probably get to working.

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:32 AM

These tools should make everything a lot easier.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:32 AM

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:34 AM

yep, thats the point

System BOT 14-Feb-21 12:36 AM

Toolkits, The Self, CFv1.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:37 AM

the self

if you can get a certain skill back, thats awesome

Pretty clear choice, here.

Which certain skill is this? I'm out of the loop, remember?

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:38 AM

we arent being coy about it, its literally called 'A certain skill' lol

Monika BOT 14-Feb-21 12:38 AM

It's the name of the perk.

Velocity BOT 14-Feb-21 12:38 AM

Interesting name.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:38 AM

it makes you in the top like 1% or 10% in a given task

like gaming, or medicine, or surgery, or piloting

System BOT 14-Feb-21 12:43 AM

Perk 1: [Will, Survive] Perk 2: [Weather, Stamina] Perk 3: [Weak, Training]

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:43 AM

And there's another perk that increases those skills to supernatural levels.

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:43 AM

yep

3 seems like the best bet

'start off weak, but train up'

William BOT 14-Feb-21 12:44 AM

Yeah. 3 it is.

System BOT 14-Feb-21 12:46 AM

Perk 1: Asceticism (Phantom Blood) (100CP) Spending years training in a Tibetan mountain with no earthly possessions or indulgences has made your will like iron. You can survive with almost nothing, simple bread, water, and sleep (if you need it) is enough to sustain you at full strength. You are also protected from mind breaking effects or isolation induced madness. Perk 2: Work Hard (Pokemon Sword and Shield) (100CP) “The Wild Area looks like a walk in the park, but you’ll find no harsher weather in all of Galar. Those who travel in these conditions, work under these conditions, camping out under the stars one day and trudging through a spontaneous sandstorm the next, need stamina. Fortunately, you’ve got the base physicality for this sort of thing. You can stand up to harsh weather conditions, and break your back doing it, while coming out none the worse for wear. You’d barely work up a sweat doing it too. As an odd side benefit, when given proper incentives, you seem to rest up faster. People pay well for someone who can work in these conditions, and the more you can work, the more you can get paid.”

Limina Idling | Hours 14-Feb-21 12:47 AM

well, neither is great
