Not yet. It will soon. The reason the Condesce is being talked about is because piono is trying to advance the plot by beating up the fleet Scratch was talking about to draw Scratch out of hiding. This won't work for two reasons.
1. piono isn't the person who will dictate when boss fights happen or advance the plot.
2. There will be a time in which the fleet can be attacked, but that time is not now and piono can't convince me otherwise.

Alright. Last turn's EotB is about to be finished. In the meantime, I'll answer some questions.

I am not attacking the whole fleet, I never said so, and no, I'm not trying to dictate when the boss fight is going to happen. I'm trying to make things happen faster because I'm bored, I never said I was being SUCCESSFUL.
And Doc Scratch has tons of ships, you can literally throw stuff to me for lulz, but whatever. I really have no intention of continuing on this path if you're just going to NOEP it.
But it really defeats the purpose of this being a forum game when you go with But Thou Must for the plot line, it makes no sense for us NOT to be able to go out and start smashing up the crockercorp fleet right now. I mean, its out there RIGHT NOW terrorizing the entire server, so I stand by what I said with my going to to wreak havoc.

Chapter Three ~ Development
de-vel-op-ment - noun a specified state of growth or advancement.
Now that we have discussed the formation of splits, which, in review, is due to some sort of event that caused trauma, which then halves the mind, creating two distinct personalities that war for control but can lie dormant, we can discuss splits' lives, their activities, and overall the heart of this book, their titular Nature.
After The Arrival, the mind will, if the subject has survived, be successfully be halved into at least two distinct parts. These parts usually borrow aspects of the subject's personality. This is a very interesting subject in and of itself that could fill whole volumes if the author wished, but, since brevity is the soul of wit, and I do enjoy humor, I'll keep this brief.
Usually, the two splits borrow from a person's good qualities and evil qualities. For instance, if a subject thought about rising to political power and undermining a whole country, that could manifest itself as the whole of one split. Additionally, if he counter-productively thought about giving to the needy or other selfless acts, that could manifest itself in the other split.
To give another example, two splits could form on polar ideas. One could form loving truth, the other deceit. One could love the art of music, the other the art of war. The point I am trying to get across here is that, in a bipolar subject, the two splits are drastic opposites. They each have different moralities, different likes, different hatreds, and this will be very important down the road in further chapters.
However, as does any young mind, a split needs time to grow. It needs time to form and time to analyze the world around it, including its other half. This period of time is referred to as the Build, because the two splits spend this timeframe effectively building themselves up. They will, eventually, throughout their Build, gain awareness of each other, and this will lead to the foundation of a split's life.
They will spend their entire existence arguing with each other, eventually leading to a climactic moment where they... Well, I'm getting ahead of myself now. In the rare cases in which two splits agree, they can enter Totality, which is, as described in Chapter One, a powerful event that brings with it a devastating blessing, or curse.
Regardless, the Build is what takes up the majority of a split's existence. The two, formed on exaggerated ideals that are opposites, are in a perfect position to end up hating each other, and it is this that makes splits so fascinating.
This duality, this bifurcation, is oddly repeated throughout the universe and is a trait shown in other species, the most notable being a strange race known as the Cherubs. It is a truly mind-boggling subject, and one no one understands very clearly, if at all.
Despite their differences, during this time period, the two splits mostly form uneasy truces. But, one day, it could all just, well, shatter.
I see no reason to not read a chapter every post, so I flip a page.
> Secondary: Read Chapter Four, Taking Over.
Chapter Four ~ Taking Over
take-ov-er - noun an act of assuming control of something.
In the world of split personalities, a "takeover" can mean one of two things. It can refer to how being bipolar can consume the host body completely, leaving them no time to think about anything else. It an also refer to how, eventually, one split will take over the other, completely controlling the host.
This chapter, as you have no doubt guessed by now, will discuss both of these matters.
Let us start with the first subject, as it is less... central in the overall life of having bipolarity. As I have stated two paragraphs above, having a split personality tends to... consume the host body. Of course, this is completely natural. The idea of having your mind literally split in half would bring stress to any person. However, this "takeover" goes deeper than that.
As you may recall, the Build takes up most of a split's life, and it is in this time period where it grows and interacts with the other splits in its mind. As you may also recall, all splits are made to be polar opposites, and they are made to hate each other. As such, they constantly bicker and fight. So much arguments and so much hate leads to most of the split's time thinking about one another, and it is in this way that any shreds of the host's original personality will be subjugated by the splits.
The personalities will effectively take over all of the mind, in one way uniting it after its being halved. It locks the splits in an uneasy relationship. Their whole being, their cores, are opposites; they hate each other, and this builds up to the latter subject, about the one split's controlling of the other.
This subject I will cover in extensive detail in the sixth chapter in particular. However, I will discuss it in this chapter as well to pique anyone's curiosity who may not want to read that far.
Since each split is an opposite and feels hate for each other, it is only natural that, after a time, they will eventually be fed up with the others' existence. However, their motives for doing so will be different depending on the split. As paralleled in cherubim biology, one split is, by nature, stronger than the other split. This split will tend to assert dominance on the other, and so the other will live in fear of him. This stronger split tends to be the more malevolent split. However, in very rare occasions, it can be the benevolent split instead.
His reason for being fed up will be that he is tired of the weakness of the other, smaller split, and also due to his, in his mind, "warped ideals."
The weaker split's reason for being fed up will be that he is scared of the stronger split and is unsure of what he will do with his power. It also due to his, in his mind, "warped ideals."
Eventually, they will bicker more and more, arguing at, to some extent, frightening paces. They will grow more and more angry at each other, until, eventually, their arguments and fear will grow into a stunning climax known as the Shatter. During this event, the mind encasing the splits will essentially Shatter, and the splits will be free to fight. Not that they won't want to, of course. For, you see, if one of them doesn't fight, the other will.
However, the topic on what happens depending on who wins will be left for Chapter Six.
spec-trum - noun a band of colors, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength. ~~~ used to classify something, or suggest that it can be classified, in terms of its position on a scale between two extreme or opposite points.
You may consider this an "intermission chapter" before we discuss the topic of what happens when the Shatter's strife draws to a close. Rest assured, we will get to that, as it is a very climatic event that controls the host body's life forever. But, for now, we will talk about a strange part of splits; that is, their spectra.
As you have read above, (and trust me, I am sure that you read it, as you are a good reader and you always read the definition at the heading of a chapter, don't you?) a spectrum is either a band of colors or a "line" used to classify something.
In this case, a split's spectra can refer to both. As you have read in Chapter One, a spectra refers to the color a split is associated. For some reason, every split's speech is visualized in a color. It can range from any color on the visible spectrum of light, although there has never been a recorded case of white or black spectra.
It is unknown truly how much influence and depth a split's spectra has in its personality and actions, but it seems that one thing is certain. More malevolent splits tend to have spectra that are red to gold, and everything in between. Likewise, more benevolent splits have spectra from lime to purple, and everything in between that as well. However, there have been some records of anomalies.
One of these had a bright blue split end up becoming a fabled Godmodder and start terrorizing a whole universe. It happened long, long ago, perhaps 400 years or so, and yet its records can still be found today.
One last bit of knowledge to impart is that it seems that some spectra are more favored than others. It seems that most malevolent splits are around orange or yellow, and most benevolents are dark blue to even purple.
However, you may be asking, what are the most rare spectra? For that, I can answer lime green and candy red.
alright. in this chapter, i'll talk about the basics of pesterchum. this is just to get people who don't really know how pesterchum works yet up to speed.
so, pesterchum is a nifty piece of software that you can install on its official website, www.skaia.net/pesterchum. what does it do, you ask? well, it allows you to talk to your friends through the internet!
if you're online, and they're online, you can click their name and just start up a conversation with them! or, as we call it, pester them. get it? because its name is... oh whatever. you get it.
so, the two versions that are available for download are versions 6.0 and 7.0. i use 6.0, but my friend dave, uses 7.0. he tells me its a lot better than 6.0 and has so many different features, but i really think he's pulling my leg.
...anyways. so, once you download the app, you'll see three things: "chumroll", "mychumhandle", and "mood." i'll save the chumhandle thing for later. all you need to know is thats what other people will see your name as.
chumroll: on the chumroll, you can list your chums! they're like "friends" on facebook or whatever. you can talk to them really easily, by just clicking on their name and then clicking "pester!" so it's sort of like speed dial. otherwise, you'd have to type out their name manually.
mood: at the bottom of the app is a mood setting. here, you can reflect the way you're feeling in real life so that your chums can see. it's...
it's a novelty.
in pesterchum 6, there's six different moods to choose from: chummy, palsy, chipper, bully, peppy, and rancorous. the first five all have a smiley face, but the last one has a mean face! so you should really only use that when you're having a bad day.
in pesterchum 7, though, there's nine different moods, and each one has their own unique emoticon! there's chummy, mystified, amazed, insolent, bemused, pranky, smooth, pleasant, and rancorous. as far as i know, that's the only difference between versions 6 and 7.
alright, remember last chapter when i talked about chumrolls? well, there's an opposite version of that called the "trollslum." here, you can list who you identify as trolls, or overall mean people! at least, i thought they were people.
...ok, long story short: trolls are a race of aliens from another universe and they have their own chat client! it's called trollian. dave set up a download link, which i think is tinyurl.413dhmk or something like that.
trollian's pretty different from pesterchum. everything that's the same, though, has the lingo switched around! the universe the trolls are from is an alternate universe i guess, so it makes sense?
i've learned to live with it.
for starters, the chumroll is replaced with a chumproll. and the chumhandle is called a trolltag! i don't think it has moods though, so that's one thing pesterchum has over trollian.
it's also got a lot of differences too. when you set up someone to talk to on your chumproll, you're not just able to talk to them at that point in time. you can talk to them on any point in their timeline! of course, this leads to a lot of crap happening that's pretty hard to keep track of. :B
also, by pressing F1, you can bring up a viewport so that you can see what that person's doing at that point in time! i can sort of see some trolls abusing that feature though...
...moving on. trollian also seems to be able to circumvent blocks that people using other clients set up. like, if you block a troll on pesterchum, they can just keep trolling you! it's really annoying!!! and even if you change your chumhandle, they can STILL find you! like, what the hell?!
...sorry. i've had to deal with the trolls' crap for years.
lastly, trollian has a memo mechanic. i'll go over this one later, but all you need to know right now is that it allows multiple people to respond to one chat! ...at any given point in time. which makes things *that* much more confusing.
I just hope that even if you're railroading us right now, you'll stop by the end of the thread, the best part about this one over the first is the fact that side-plots aren't entirely determined by the GM, just mediated, and I thank you for that, but it still seems counterproductive to just tell me 'no' about going and killing the crockercorp fleet when that is a perfectly legitimate course of action.
I am done ranting now. I stand by my earlier choices, I'm leaving the battlefield to try and draw out Scratch.

I'm not going to be railroading you by the end of the game. There will be some But Thou Must moments later on, but it will mostly be inside your realm of control for the rest of the way. This whole Invasion is a... A special case.
However, the reason I didn't want you to go to the Crockercorp Fleet is because... To tell you the truth, I'm a bit scared.
Split's been acting up a lot recently. I'm worried he's going to pull something very bad. As in, really bad. To give you an idea of what I'm talking about... Maybe you should look at the Librarylogs I'm going to update. Consider it subliminal messaging.
So... I would actually appreciate your help.
However, if you stand by your decision, I respect that. I'm all for crushing this whole Invasion thingie. But keep what I've said in mind.

He's catching on.
You want my help?
Split, would you be willing to stop being such a jerk to the rest of us if I got you away from Build?
Heck, I should probably just take the two of you out of each other then kill twin, because there's something you guys haven't noticed.
You're trampling all over twinbuilder, the original guy who was updating before you got summoned to the field.
Anyway, Split, if you promise to stop trying to kill Build, I'll have the OP king split you two up.
And thank you for respecting my opinion.

We should read the librarylogs? I'd love to, but I can barely focus on it with the weird highlighting.

Okay. Okay. I have accomplished literally nothing so far. Hmm. Well, my somewhat-retconned TARDIS majyks are still substantial. I begin powering up piono by any means (short of killing myself) necessary.
Not that I dislike any of you guys, I just know piono a bit more.

In the world of split personalities, a "takeover" can mean one of two things. It can refer to how being bipolar can consume the host body completely, leaving them no time to think about anything else. It an also refer to how, eventually, one split will take over the other, completely controlling the host.
This chapter, as you have no doubt guessed by now, will discuss both of these matters.
Let us start with the first subject, as it is less... central in the overall life of having bipolarity. As I have stated two paragraphs above, having a split personality tends to... consume the host body. Of course, this is completely natural. The idea of having your mind literally split in half would bring stress to any person. However, this "takeover" goes deeper than that.
As you may recall, the Build takes up most of a split's life, and it is in this time period where it grows and interacts with the other splits in its mind. As you may also recall, all splits are made to be polar opposites, and they are made to hate each other. As such, they constantly bicker and fight. So much arguments and so much hate leads to most of the split's time thinking about one another, and it is in this way that any shreds of the host's original personality will be subjugated by the splits.
The personalities will effectively take over all of the mind, in one way uniting it after its being halved. It locks the splits in an uneasy relationship. Their whole being, their cores, are opposites; they hate each other, and this builds up to the latter subject, about the one split's controlling of the other.
This subject I will cover in extensive detail in the sixth chapter in particular. However, I will discuss it in this chapter as well to pique anyone's curiosity who may not want to read that far.
Since each split is an opposite and feels hate for each other, it is only natural that, after a time, they will eventually be fed up with the others' existence. However, their motives for doing so will be different depending on the split. As paralleled in cherubim biology, one split is, by nature, stronger than the other split. This split will tend to assert dominance on the other, and so the other will live in fear of him. This stronger split tends to be the more malevolent split. However, in very rare occasions, it can be the benevolent split instead.
His reason for being fed up will be that he is tired of the weakness of the other, smaller split, and also due to his, in his mind, "warped ideals."
The weaker split's reason for being fed up will be that he is scared of the stronger split and is unsure of what he will do with his power. It also due to his, in his mind, "warped ideals."
Eventually, they will bicker more and more, arguing at, to some extent, frightening paces. They will grow more and more angry at each other, until, eventually, their arguments and fear will grow into a stunning climax known as the Shatter. During this event, the mind encasing the splits will essentially Shatter, and the splits will be free to fight. Not that they won't want to, of course. For, you see, if one of them doesn't fight, the other will.
However, the topic on what happens depending on who wins will be left for Chapter Six.

spec-trum - noun
a band of colors, as seen in a rainbow, produced by separation of the components of light by their different degrees of refraction according to wavelength.
~~~
used to classify something, or suggest that it can be classified, in terms of its position on a scale between two extreme or opposite points.
You may consider this an "intermission chapter" before we discuss the topic of what happens when the Shatter's strife draws to a close. Rest assured, we will get to that, as it is a very climatic event that controls the host body's life forever. But, for now, we will talk about a strange part of splits; that is, their spectra.
As you have read above, (and trust me, I am sure that you read it, as you are a good reader and you always read the definition at the heading of a chapter, don't you?) a spectrum is either a band of colors or a "line" used to classify something.
In this case, a split's spectra can refer to both. As you have read in Chapter One, a spectra refers to the color a split is associated. For some reason, every split's speech is visualized in a color. It can range from any color on the visible spectrum of light, although there has never been a recorded case of white or black spectra.
It is unknown truly how much influence and depth a split's spectra has in its personality and actions, but it seems that one thing is certain. More malevolent splits tend to have spectra that are red to gold, and everything in between. Likewise, more benevolent splits have spectra from lime to purple, and everything in between that as well. However, there have been some records of anomalies.
One of these had a bright blue split end up becoming a fabled Godmodder and start terrorizing a whole universe. It happened long, long ago, perhaps 400 years or so, and yet its records can still be found today.
One last bit of knowledge to impart is that it seems that some spectra are more favored than others. It seems that most malevolent splits are around orange or yellow, and most benevolents are dark blue to even purple.
However, you may be asking, what are the most rare spectra? For that, I can answer lime green and candy red.
> K4yne: Read Chapter One.
You decide to read Chapter One, pesterchum.
alright. in this chapter, i'll talk about the basics of pesterchum. this is just to get people who don't really know how pesterchum works yet up to speed.
so, pesterchum is a nifty piece of software that you can install on its official website, www.skaia.net/pesterchum. what does it do, you ask? well, it allows you to talk to your friends through the internet!
if you're online, and they're online, you can click their name and just start up a conversation with them! or, as we call it, pester them. get it? because its name is... oh whatever. you get it.
so, the two versions that are available for download are versions 6.0 and 7.0. i use 6.0, but my friend dave, uses 7.0. he tells me its a lot better than 6.0 and has so many different features, but i really think he's pulling my leg.
...anyways. so, once you download the app, you'll see three things: "chumroll", "mychumhandle", and "mood." i'll save the chumhandle thing for later. all you need to know is thats what other people will see your name as.
chumroll: on the chumroll, you can list your chums! they're like "friends" on facebook or whatever. you can talk to them really easily, by just clicking on their name and then clicking "pester!" so it's sort of like speed dial. otherwise, you'd have to type out their name manually.
mood: at the bottom of the app is a mood setting. here, you can reflect the way you're feeling in real life so that your chums can see. it's...
it's a novelty.
in pesterchum 6, there's six different moods to choose from: chummy, palsy, chipper, bully, peppy, and rancorous. the first five all have a smiley face, but the last one has a mean face! so you should really only use that when you're having a bad day.
in pesterchum 7, though, there's nine different moods, and each one has their own unique emoticon! there's chummy, mystified, amazed, insolent, bemused, pranky, smooth, pleasant, and rancorous. as far as i know, that's the only difference between versions 6 and 7.
...so yeah. pesterchum.
> K4yne: Read Chapter Two.
You decide to read Chapter Two, trollian.
alright, remember last chapter when i talked about chumrolls? well, there's an opposite version of that called the "trollslum." here, you can list who you identify as trolls, or overall mean people! at least, i thought they were people.
...ok, long story short: trolls are a race of aliens from another universe and they have their own chat client! it's called trollian. dave set up a download link, which i think is tinyurl.413dhmk or something like that.
trollian's pretty different from pesterchum. everything that's the same, though, has the lingo switched around! the universe the trolls are from is an alternate universe i guess, so it makes sense?
i've learned to live with it.
for starters, the chumroll is replaced with a chumproll. and the chumhandle is called a trolltag! i don't think it has moods though, so that's one thing pesterchum has over trollian.
it's also got a lot of differences too. when you set up someone to talk to on your chumproll, you're not just able to talk to them at that point in time. you can talk to them on any point in their timeline! of course, this leads to a lot of crap happening that's pretty hard to keep track of. :B
also, by pressing F1, you can bring up a viewport so that you can see what that person's doing at that point in time! i can sort of see some trolls abusing that feature though...
...moving on. trollian also seems to be able to circumvent blocks that people using other clients set up. like, if you block a troll on pesterchum, they can just keep trolling you! it's really annoying!!! and even if you change your chumhandle, they can STILL find you! like, what the hell?!
...sorry. i've had to deal with the trolls' crap for years.
lastly, trollian has a memo mechanic. i'll go over this one later, but all you need to know right now is that it allows multiple people to respond to one chat! ...at any given point in time. which makes things *that* much more confusing.
so yeah. trollian.
I'm not going to be railroading you by the end of the game. There will be some But Thou Must moments later on, but it will mostly be inside your realm of control for the rest of the way. This whole Invasion is a... A special case.
However, the reason I didn't want you to go to the Crockercorp Fleet is because... To tell you the truth, I'm a bit scared.
Split's been acting up a lot recently. I'm worried he's going to pull something very bad. As in, really bad. To give you an idea of what I'm talking about... Maybe you should look at the Librarylogs I'm going to update. Consider it subliminal messaging.
So... I would actually appreciate your help.
However, if you stand by your decision, I respect that. I'm all for crushing this whole Invasion thingie. But keep what I've said in mind.
...Crap.
He's catching on.
You want my help?
Split, would you be willing to stop being such a jerk to the rest of us if I got you away from Build?
Heck, I should probably just take the two of you out of each other then kill twin, because there's something you guys haven't noticed.
You're trampling all over twinbuilder, the original guy who was updating before you got summoned to the field.
Anyway, Split, if you promise to stop trying to kill Build, I'll have the OP king split you two up.
And thank you for respecting my opinion.
