I almost forgot: I vote Toast's ship and DarkSide's ship.

As requested by Piono, Temmie has been given a list of "soul upgrades" that Temmie would've obtained during tem's fight. Check it out on the Bestiary Page. Ship Voting will also last until the Foe Rush / Bonus Rounds end, so feel free to vote until that time.

...oh, do you WANT to use the Foe Rush / Bonus Round orbs? Feel free to vote for that, too.

I still think my ship is the best.
Anyways, for the actual purpose of this post:
I am going to the desert for the weekend, so I may or may not be able to post until Tuesday. Really depends on if I can get mobile data or not. So, if I stop posting for a few days, you'll know why.

Ok, I'm joining. No idea if this will pan out or not, but I figure I can try.
Crystal isn't participating in this, actually! Instead, you get a new character!

A pillar of indigo flame roars up from the ground near the group, before a figure steps out of it. You have the distinct impression of extreme speed before the blurred figure resolves itself into a fairly normal-looking female with gray eyes. A pair of pistols are slung at her side, a cowl is on her head, and a cloak is wrapped around her body. She looks around for a second, before her eyes light up as they settle on some scattered ship parts.
"Ooh my. What happened to you?"
She focuses on the parts for a second, before her eyes slide off them and to everyone else around.
"Oh, where are my manners? Name's Siria. What's happening?"

NEW CHARACTER INTRODUCED!
Siria:
20 HP.
10 MP.
5 STR.
4 AGI. (+2 from equipment, so 6 total.)
1 INT.
1 SPC.

Weapon: Dual Pistols.
Skills: Enchant (Fire), Duplicate (TemsFour with a swapped flavor. Identical to TemsFour in all ways except for flavor text.)
Equipment:
Helmet: Cowl
Armor: Cloak of Concealment
Accessory: Healing Aura

Special Attack: TBD.

I (the player, not Siria the character) vote for DarkSide's and Tazz's ships.

=TURN EIGHTY-ONE=

-9- turns until Dice-Powered Doomsday Machines happen.

Aaron realizes that he's respawned in the Memory Bed! He loots the gold, and is forcibly slammed into a wall of rocks, killing him. This fails to decrease the price of Temmie Armor, but you get the special "YOU NEED HELP" achievement, and +0 MHP! Aaron then respawns in the proper location.

Darkside takes (0) damage from Gladius's rant, then goes out to scavenge things. He rips out some exposed wiring in an unsafe fashion, obtaining 8 pieces of it. He then goes out and harvests 9 vines from the Area Outside What Was Once A Shack. He then chills with the Inferno Arachnid, and accesses the Memory Orb...



Darkside then heads to the vent and tries to loot it; he only manages to take a tiny chunk, obtaining a Vent Cover. The rest of it is unsalvageable.

Crystal then finds the FREE SENTRY TURRET in the Endless Desert, granting +1 Sentry Turret to all ships. It looks like this free one has the same power as the one granted from the bonus; nice! Having two turrets could really lock down an area though; try that out. You then attempt to loot the grenade crater, but shoveling up a whole crater seems like it'd take several turns; removing all of the supports of a cavern in one turn is fine, and same with taking cabins, but this grenade crater is truly a mighty foe. You then gather more stones from the caved-in Waterfall, obtaining about 72 because you've already gathered a fair deal of stones.

Engie then examines the area he's in. He can see Recollection Woods from up here; he's actually a fair deal of the way up Nightmare Mountain. He can see an altar, holding some strange burning thing; a soul of sorts. He can see what looks like a similar structure about a kilometer away; and another closer to that one. You then stare at Zetta, trying to find a weakness.

Zetta stares back. With three heads. You are outstarred. Your head implodes for (0) damage. You then +1 your STR.

Toast then performs the ULTIMATE RESPEC, becoming the wielder of the INFERNAL FREAKING TORMENT. This consumes plenty of my remaining time. Roxxanne then also gets a stat update, and a skill swap. Insert then buys two Potions for 1 Gold, and upgrades the Coffee Machine; it now has more consistent healing, and removes status effects! This consumes 15 Build Grist, and 5 from making a Red Sap Jar. Wilson then switches Beam for TemsFour, and starts working on his special! It won't actually BECOME his special until it's done though. Redstone then fails to vote for his own ship. Insert then also pulls various things from off the cliff-face. However, this proves to be dangerous...

(13)

All is well as Insert collects the various items from the Cliff Face.

Crystalcat / Siria then joins the game, despite doing an action earlier this update! Feel free to select a special at any time. Welcome to the game!

Ship Voting is still going on. Now, answer me this; do you want to do the Foe Rush / Bonus Round before leaving? Share your opinions; if there's enough people asking for it, we can do them!

=BATTLE: SHIPPING AND PROCESSING, TURN ONE=
Engie has somehow lived one turn! But will he survive another? Find out on tomorrow's tomorrow's episode of DTG Chaos!

SHIP VOTES: (DEADLINE: Next Update / End of Foe Rush / Bonus Round, depends on what happens.)
Darkside (5)
Generic Type B (1)
USS Ben Drowned (3)
Teag (1)
Numbersoup (1)
Toast (1)
Tazz (1)

OK, I know its late but I've made a new ship. Not sure how good it is but I think it could REALLY work.

Originally posted on 2016-02-13 02:09:00

I can vouch for Tazz's ship. It looks good.

I have ship, it is good, look at shipbuilding thing. DarkSide and Crystal have voted for me-pls check it out and tell me if my strategy is success?

In other words, why is the second-best ship right now currently the ship that is more accurately a large pool of water?

Aaron respawns, then decides to go grab the giant temmie rocket launcher.
"Don't worry Tem, unless the others decide to be stupid...
You know what, I'm not even going to finish that sentence. I'll try and make sure this gets to ©haos in one piece."
He brings it back to the hangar.
Would we be able to use this as an extra weapon on the ship and still be able to deliver it to ©haos, or does it need to be kept in the cargo hold for that to work?

Aaron gets back to the spaceship, then notices there appears to be bullet holes in his laptop.
"er... what?"
He then expends 3 pieces of exposed wiring to repair the laptop.
((Ire, respond to me in awaken plz))

Guys, I had an idea. Why don't we fight the foe rush AND the bonus boss at the same time? That ought to amp up the player cap to the point that we can fight everything as one big group, giving us more strategic options, and a greater capacity to rez Gladius and TOFS before the fight ends if either of them get KO'd.
Additionally, potential to use the ship as an artillery piece.

OK, peeps, I have a ship that competes with DarkSides (and DarkSide changed his vote to vote for mine), so please give it a look. While I respect his craftsmanship, I switch votes from him to Generic's Type B so as to maybe give it a shot?/desperateforwin (Also Generic's choke is pretty sicknasty and DarkSide's super-vulnerable to a theoretical Zillycharm-wielding Foe, as it would take a while to get a decent force to the Core...as well as lacking convenient and safe teleporter access, or rather, fast teleporter access from the Core/Weapons)

On that note: I'd also like to point out to EVERY SHIPBUILING PERSON that new tiles have been put into place: In particular, everyone now gets 1 Room Turret (the bonus from before to grant one still applies). It acts mostly like a Crew Door, BUT it has a Range 4 attack, dealing 5-7 damage. We have also gotten confirmation: The Core of every ship is immune to Player Spell healing! No word on item healing, but that's still REALLY bad in terms of keeping the ship alive. IT'S ALSO BIG AND BOLD BECAUSE EVERYONE PLAYING CHAOS SHOULD READ THISSSSS.

Also, found this stuff in the endless desert, in case no-one actually looted it yet.

"A blank canvas. And a fresh new piece of gold!"

Order Complete!
You (Chaos), will obtain one (1) GLITCH RIFLE BASE, shipped via the SHATTERED SKIES Aerial Mail Route.
You have also requested: two (2) DEFENSIVE DRONE ESCORTS, and four (4) CHAIRIAN GUARDS inside the cargo craft.
-The Chairian Cargo Corp

YOU REALLY SMELL LIKE DOG BUNS.

"There is no second patch of gold."

Found a Slot Machine. might as well put in the gold if that wasn't already done. in which case, I PUT IN A GOLD ANYWAYS. REBEL.

"This is the third patch of gold on this version of the Endless Desert. You get 1 Gold."

"I have the weirdest craving for banana bread right now."

Also, found this disturbing addition by presumably irecreeper in the old battles screen, in regards to the conversation there:

cc: first game
cc: you haven't seen that note, have you?
cc: h a v e n ' t y o u ?

Not sure what 'first game' means in this situation.

I found a Cipher Shop Coupon at GF75 in the Endless Desert:
"You find a Cipher Shop Coupon! As you probably know, these can't buy his cane, but hey."

Has it been found before?

Originally posted on 2016-02-14 01:33:00

Well, to be honest, I didn't factor in the potential Zillycharm/Wallhacking enemy because, honestly, I doubt that a sizable portion of those we fight will be Zillycharmed. Most - if not all - enemies, I suspect, will not have this ability...
...though I do have ideas of a worst-case scenario... so...
brb changing ship layout

Also, I try to:
Sentry Turret (malfunctioning) && Wire Bits (x5) && Iron Bars (x5) && Build Grist (x_) = Room Turret (Non-malfunctioning) (Numbers subject to change)
Basically a stronger, much more safe, turret. Should be just like its brothers on the ship.
Hey, might as well. More defense.
If this is possible, I immediately make it.
I also want to activate Bonus Round Zone 1.

I change my Ben Drowned vote to a vote for Tazz's ship, and vote to do both rushes at the same time. I also test Grave Fragments && Dome's Arm, as well as Grave Fragments && Patch of Grass. While I'm at it, I also grab the Breached Containment Tube. I get two Mana Vials along with those potions I got earlier. I then create the Potions of MP Regen (a mana vial and potions of regen, 15 grist), turn a sap orb into as many jars of sap as possible so I can create a Blue Sap Jar(probably 5 grist like red, mana vial and green sap jar) and then use that to create the Chemistry Kit (blue sap jar and potions of mp regen, costs 25 grist, +1 regen and gain a mana vial for every first kill.)

While I'm at it, I look at the result of Herobrine's Clone's Corpse && Augment Parts && Robotic Arm, then look at the result of that && Grave Fragments.

...I just thought of something stupidly amazing.

I rush back to the General Memory Storage Battlefield, and quickly warp around, and whips out a Diamond Shovel with two enchantments: Unbreaking III and Efficiency V. With this amazing Diamond Shovel, I proceed to inspect the Zillywells in the room (they were there in the fight), and promptly begin to carefully dig them out to move back to our ship if its even remotely possible.

The big reason why is, Zillywells allow us to shoot through walls. Repeat; Shoot through Walls. Placed correctly, we can seriously bloster our defense by giving a rifle-wielder a safe spot to pick off whatever comes their way without even leaving the safety of an inner wall, which has endless applicability if the spots are placed right. Of course, there's only five Zillywells in total so that's limited by number AND the fact we'd still have to place them reasonably close to where we think enemies will be to properly fight them off.

I also see the parts we have of the Pulse Rifle and the Anti-Glitch Rifle, comparing the designs and seeing if a balance between the two can't be made, like real-world guns and gun parts. Could be useful to have a custom until we get the whole.

I'm so tempted to push the limit of insanity with every item in the inventory that I can possibly access... Because, let's face it, if I actually managed to hold my own solo in this current fight, and somehow did it for so long that rescuing me became a viable option, that would be so many shades of awesome. But to even have a hope of doing that, I'd need so many things... resources that I might not be able to access... First things first, is anyone in favor of letting me go absolutely batshit and seeing just what type of B A D T I M E I'm capable of providing?
