By 'spoil' I meant put things in spoilers. I think the context makes it clear, but it was a poor wording.

To be clear, if you want to talk spoilers, put them in spoiler brackets.

Deleting it would require me to bother a mod again, So hopefully common sense lets people understand what I meant.

Ohh man, what a gorgeous painting for the story's first update!

>>126578
This is still a Vault that had a human staff, so it would be reasonable for it to have had PipBoys and the software for their maintenance. And being a Vault meant for producing results instead of being just an experiment in itself, I'd expect the place to be better equipped than the other Vaults, especially as the Army intended for this to be a military experimental Vault with FEV.
We should still check the Vault mainframe for VATS and any PipBoy updates that are available.
And also spare PipBoys; have a group of Metro defenders equipped with PipBoys using VATS would make them much more effective.

The Vault would indeed have conventional Pip Boys with VATS included. Whether Jeremy will be happy to part with some or how many is something only time will tell, but we'll pick back up at the Vault next chapter to tackle some of those dangling threads.

>>126569

Whether you want to try to achieve air superiority before the battle is a good question. Just keep in mind that the garage is fairly far away, and any plan to try to access that resource immediately will have to make clever use of SARA's resources.

Anyway, I'll get back to writing as soon as I can. Still just catching my breath from the holidays and work is speeding up the tempo to try to get everything done before Christmas time. It's going to be a hectic next month or so, but I'll at least try to get something out this coming weekend.

>>126598
Thanks for the heads up, bananon.

We probably won’t be able to use the plane in this fight, as we don’t know how to fly it (unless we have piloting files tucked away somewhere), but there might be other useful items, like a chemistry workstation and weapons.

Our Assaultron is currently at the RobCo repair hub, but it would be great if we could buy another Assaultron or Sentry Bot from the Brotherhood; we need to be on the lookout for stuff we can sell to them for more items like that.

Air superiority would mean dealing with the thunderbird, and possibly the Valkyries, first. That's a hornet's nest we don't have to kick yet. The Lurkers lack a motor pool entirely, thanks to us. Plus, we're almost out of time! Maybe our Metro body has time for one more mission, but our Vault party needs to haul ass to get back in time to help prepare.

NEW THREAD!

Addenda: this is based upon the 4 years training figure that I dug up out of the earlier threads. If some factor's changed that number, the math'd have to be redone.

>>68620
It might be 8x acceleration without taking the 6 month reduction into account, so just 6 months. That wouldn't be a huge difference, though.

So implants should still be on our short list of things to research, but we might want to find out what breaker navy/plasma weapons unlocks, since that's probably some kind of naval offensive or defensive tech and we could use something to give us a little more edge against the breakers in space. We need to build up a force capable of freeing the Individual's homeworld, so something capable of taking on 3 Breaker Capital ships, and 10 Escort ships without taking major losses. If we can do that, we can provide the Individual with military tech it can use to hold off the Breakers while we build up ourselves and the Galts. Also the Individual mentioned something about 'Splinter-like' aliens who were 'supernatural' and we might want to track down a couple of those for capture purposes. There is other stuff related to magic on the tech tree we can't access yet that could be very useful against the supernatural worshippers of Totus, and the Individual implied that they had been part of the conflict that ended in it being conquered.

Also gonna dump a bunch of random RP costs for various things here for easy reference.

Massive buildings(DOES include Interplanetary Cannons)40 RP, although Ed said 30 RP the other day? Basing the 40 on the original mention of massive buildings after researching Large Buildings.

Drone Starships that could be used to scout: 35 RP

Stealth Diplomat Ship(Stealth is risky):90 RP

Mobile Orbital Factories: 50 RP

Dryad and Gester Power Armor(so we could train them as Power Troopers): 8 RP each

I was considering making a java app that would calculate stuff for The Icon but I was delayed for quite some time because I didn't know how to make a GUI. I think I might be able to manage it now but if Ed isn't interested in questing anymore there's no point.

Miss you, Ed! I love your quests. Hope you come back some day. <3

They'll probably be sporadic for the foreseeable future since Raptie's got a lot of other stuff on her plate right now. As far as I know she's working on her own webcomic, doing coloring and shading for Out of Placers as well as commission work. That doesn't leave much time for quests, I figure.

Obviously this isn't a perfect metaphor, given how different this is from a pen and paper tabletop RPG, but let's say a level 9 warrior have 100 health- a critical hit guarantees you do damage, but 2d8+2 still isn't that much off the top as compared to say, 1d8+2. Clearly this is still a social encounter, and the dice system works a bit differently, but it makes sense to me that a single crit doesn't instantly solve everything- just diffuses the results of Vos fumbling a roll, and putting cap on edge. Maru is currently waiting on Viste to make the decisions as to how to proceed; if she were in charge she probably would have tried to cut off his leg so he can't run away anymore, and hauled him back to the ship to get locked in a dark box where no one can see or talk to him. Her little speech was really more for herself, and everyone else than for cap- even if you don't like what's going on, trust that the boss- Davina, and Viste as an extension of Davina's will, are handling the situation, and don't make any stupid decisions, no matter how much you want to kill the guy in front of you and wipe your hands of this whole mess. She's telling herself and Vos that they should trust Viste, and telling Viste that she's upset, but she's doing her best to keep it in check and let her handle it instead of subverting her authority and forcing her to manage cap and 3 other people.

>>116079
He asked what you want. Maybe try telling him what you want, at least with regard to his own immediate behavior?

Ah. Clear, detailed, non-cryptic orders.

The enemy of taciturn, enigmatic alter egos the world over.

>>116124
I don't know about Davina/Viste, but Maru wants him dead. Hence her waiting for orders.

I would imagine we want him to come back to the ship peacefully, but honestly? It doesn't seem like a good idea to keep carrying him around, too much risk compared to the reward. We've seen the captain would be capable, under the right circumstances, of executing everyone on the ship and stealing it. The sorceress, if given the choice, would probably not be sentimental enough to turn down such an opportunity. Not sure what the boss thinks but Maru is skeptical that there's something worthwhile to risk keeping him around

Updating more regularly could help encourage participation?

Also note there were a decent number of suggestions when shopping, so there is some interest. At the moment the fight we're in looks pretty straightforward so there's probably not gonna be much excitement about it. We're still kindof grinding for exp right now, aren't we?

I'm not sure making sure we have a map is necessarily the important thing (Maze Quest, after all, implies one of the challenges should be navigation).

It sort of feels too early in the quest to make meaningful constructive criticism, at least for me. Not enough data point, or distance to see how decisions or stylistic choices play out (which might be frustrating to hear since it's been months irl).

I did really like the bit where Morgan reached out and asked us to teach her how to play some of the games we were talking about.

>Overly complicated mechanics
Yeah, I may have gone a bit overboard with some of the mechanics. Ill try to simplify them where I can and keep things organized.


>More regular updates
Unfortunately, more regular updates are off the table at the moment. I am trying to fit more updates into the same time period, but with how long they can take to make, that isn't exactly providing astonishing results.

>I did really like the bit where Morgan reached out and asked us to teach her how to play some of the games we were talking about.
Thank you. Speaking of which, should the game take place on screen or off? (I know that so far we haven't had an "off screen", but we will eventually.)

So far the plot hasn't gone where I had initially expected, but I have a few things planned to keep it moving.

Thanks for all the feedback.

>>126116
>Speaking of which, should the game take place on screen or off?
Doing (part of) the game onscreen could be fine, though you probably want to timeskip over the intro so we're not typing the rules to monopoly into our suggestions or what have you.

Here's an explaination for some of the formatting I have been using.

"words" is stuff that I am saying.
">" is stuff that you guys said.
"[]" is stuff that you (the Kinter) know.
"words" is a game message.
"[name]: "words"" is someone named "name" saying "words" in english.
"[name]: [words]" is someone named "name" saying "words" in some other language.

here's a super basic rundown on how the hivemind works:
you can pick up on and be influenced by strong emotions/thoughts from people in close proximity to you who are also in the hivemind, but usually can’t detect the underlying intent behind the thought/feeling (so you have to ask out loud if you want to know, and people can lie)
you can hop into the heads of hivemind members literally anywhere in the city and be fully immersed in their thoughts/feelings/intents, gain physical control over their body, or psychically talk to them one on one without the rest of the hivemind listening in. it’s considered a little rude to do most of that with people you don’t know intimately or have permission from
some people keep their minds “open access” so the rest of the hivemind can see/comment on what they’re doing sort of like a livestream, some stay closed off unless they need something from another member
people can and Do offer unsolicited advice/support to other people in the hivemind, some people appreciate it and some don’t
everyone in the hivemind has the innate desire to assimilate others (mostly on the grounds of ‘it feels awesome, everyone else doesn’t know what they’re missing’) but they prefer people be voluntarily assimilated bc if someone gets added involuntarily it kind of screws up the emotions of the whole hivemind

>>126065
That's really cool, thanks!

>>126063
Uh, holy shit thanks for pointing out Limetown, it's so exactly my wheelhouse.

Okay, since you mentioned the similarity, and also talked about emotions, I'd like to ask if that also worked in reverse. To push your own emotions on someone?

>>126135

omg isn't it great?? season 2 starts on halloween so i just re-listened to all of it in one day.

also pushing your emotions on someone via Aggregate probably works but only to a certain extent? you can send vibes to nearby people to try and calm them down or etc but pushing strong feelings on someone or forcing them to feel/act a certain way can only be done if you're entirely immersed in their mind.

>>126138
Yeah I'm really looking forward to season 2. I wonder what the format of it will be, especially.

Alright I'll definitely keep that in mind for later. It really helps to have such a clear picture.

>>125382

like at least four maybe more but you have to meet their extremely specific dating requirements and also be dead to meet them which might be a roadblock

>>125383

she just has the one that she found on discount and she's very proud of it and also very afraid of getting blood on it because that shit doesn't wash off. some sexy bullet holes from a shootout would probably be fine though

>>125387

this will probably be explained a bit more in canon, but it's basically... the average person's impression of magic is sort of vast. like anything that's unexplained... could it be magic? we don't know! it's scary! magic can do anything! it's dangerous! stuff like that. in actuality it's limited and only demons use it. A is a little more familiar with it because she hangs out with demons, so you'll probably get a more accurate impression of it from her explanations. feel free to ask more about it tho!

>>125396

IM SO SORRY if it helps there are like at least three more hot demons coming up that you can try that line on. i believe in you anon

>>125398
This is exactly what I wanted, thanks! I trust that we'll see and figure out more during the story, but I really like having the very basic ideas people might have about magic.

Hello to anyone who's been following this quest.

I know it hasn't gotten very far and I hardly ever update this anyway, but I'm putting this on an official hiatus.
My mental health has been quickly getting worse over the past couple of months and Curequest is the last thing on my mind right now. It isn't looking like I'm going to get much better anytime soon. I can't update anything like this.

Given the reasons, this hiatus is entirely undefined. I could be gone for a couple days or for the coming year, I have no clue.

I'll come back when I feel better. Thank you.

take all the time you need to recover!

Man. I get such major crisis 2 vibes from this quest. Like how chee is really a dead-man-walking, how she becomes stronger by sacrificing more of herself and taking on the abilities of her enemies, and how she (un-purposefully) replaced her previous body with another's and transferred the echoes of her personality into it.

Major crisis 2 vibes.

Chee was a great quest, very popular, and one that led to a lot of great stuff after that's still going now. But it's generally considered to be not the done thing to dig up a thread for a quest that's been completed for six years.

>>125729
Eh, there's a reason dis threads don't normally get locked or archived like quest threads. If new readers want to discuss completed quests, or share their reactions or feelings, or express appreciation (or criticism, etc) it's the most appropriate place on the board to do so.

In the interest of keeping things straight on the wiki, do you want your name on the wiki updated to Azathoth or to stick with Cthulhu?

Best change to azathoth as im using that a lot now

I don't think I explained the whole Dead thing very well so ill lay it out clearly here.

Basically when a member of a sentient species dies there's a percentage chance they will get back up as one of the Dead. Their flesh rots off, their sockets fuse shut and they wake up knowing the language of the dead even if they have never heard it before. They also know the way to the Land of the Dead and that they should probably go there at some point.

How and why this happens is a total mystery but it seems to be connected to magic in some way, as during periods of strong magic flow (times when the dreamer is asleep) the chance of rising is somewhere around 1/50 or even as much as 1/20. When the magic flow dries to a trickle (the times the Dreamer is awake) the chance drops drastically to 1/500.

the only way to absolutely guarantee that someone wont get back up is to behead them, nothing can resurrect a beheaded corpse, no one knows why.

The land of the dead itself is both real and not real, being reachable only from the road of the dead and infinitely large despite being in a dessert only about 20km square from the outside.

So, is this quest on hiatus or is it dead? It seemed interesting and since it went dark relatively recently i figured i would ask.

Alright, I think I owe you guys an update, so here it goes:

- This quest is NOT dead. I'll continue it at some point, I just lost the inspiration to continue writing it for now. A big part of the reason why I updated it so much when I started it is because I had a lot of fun writing it; and because I love gay cats, but mostly because I had a lot of fun writing it. As I went, though, I realized all the flaws it had, which were a lot more than the usual for my silly fictions, and I just found some parts of it ridiculous. I have been re-writing many parts of it and many future characters, and I plan on continuing the quest soon in a much better way and with muuch more steady updates than what I was doing a bit before the quest died once for all. Although I won't do it for now. I'm much more excited about a new story I'm gonna start, and I'll focus on it for a while, but don't worry, Kip is still my favorite story of mine and I'll go back to it at some point, I just don't wanna mess it up. I'm *terrified* of messing it up, and I wanna make sure I'm on my best of moods when I continue it to make sure it won't happen. I love Kip too much to let my moods ruin his story in such a way.

- I'll continue this story as soon as I finish the new quest I'm about to start right now. It won't be a looong one so don't worry, if the suggestions are quick enough I'll be able to finish it very quickly, and as soon as I finish it I'll get back to Kip Quest for at the very least another big, big thread, in the same old style, in the same way I was doing before, and I'll try to continue it in the best way I can.

- I AM still working on this one big update I kept rambling about, don't worry. I'll do my best to make it worth all the wait! And when I do continue the story I mean I'll continue it in the real Chapter 2 and not the Intermission, as much a
