...dat Will To Survive, though.

Great. Dying to the Glitch. What was passive 43, by the way? I forgot.

Edit: Also, mind letting me see the code for the HG simulator? I kind of want to see a session run with slightly less joke characters.

Welp, I 1v1'd Scratch. All things considered I feel good about that.

Also, Wilson wins in the most epic way possible. VICTORY SCREECH!

And now when I edit in the epilog, all the colors fly out the window. Well fine then editor. How do you manage to get it to not mess up all the formatting, Twin?

Here's the current code:

Yeah. Its big. 43 is Invention's Mother BTW. The one that gives + to alchemies in fatal events.

Both I and Umbra were killed by the Chibi Serena Statue. GG!

I have an idea: could you list everyone's cause of death in the Results?

Also, I personally do not like the Passives system that much.

Yeah, cause of death would be nice.

Yeah, cause of death would be nice.

Cause of death is always "lethal force", "infection" or "bleeding out".

Not always... there's suicide, poison, narrative anger, lack of existing, death by SSB, burning, starvation, head on wall action, becoming Engie, getting removed from the simulation, embarrassment, clipboard, Godmodder love, annoying sounds, cookie clicker, quantum uncertainty, mimes, tripping, OP scale, allergies, and making a bad fangame, just to name a few.

HAVE SOME MASH UP EVENTS!

4 (Player1) and (Player2) spent the night tinkering, and producing new gear! {65i}/{65i}

+++ (Player1) cut the Mech's legs clean off, (Player2) obliterated the head and disabled the weapons, and (Player3) channeled (his/her3) energy to keep the others alive and tear the mech asunder! They all looted the spoils of battle! {7s 5d 5i 7e 5a}/{5s 7d 5i 5e 7a}/{5s 5d 8i 5e 5a}

It'd be nice if the me-s weren't s'damn lazy.

All of those come down to the 3 extremely broad and general categories I mentioned if you think about it hard enough

...Not all that BS, all things considered. Not like Talist rigs the RNG, and even if he had been willing to he's have done so earlier.

Sometimes, RNGesus smiles on thy... and sometimes he just says "screw you. Wilson is going to hit that 20% chance then roll just high enough to kill you." Sorry, but there just isn't much to be done when you invoke his wrath.

Wilson and Laiko are the same character physically and they aren't splits or anything. There are specific times when I refer to him as Wilson and other times when I refer to him as Laiko. There's more symbolism and duality as well, and maybe I'll have WLialiskoon explain it more thoroughly.

(WLialiskoon is what I get when I write letters of both Wilson and Laiko alternatively.)

Splits mostly being mental, I could see a sufficiently traumatic event splitting Wilson into Wilson/Laiko already. If it's not already happening. And it could split him more than just Laiko/Wilson, even. IRL 'splits' that identify by different gender have been a thing (even if they're not actually a different gender), even.

Yep. As much as some of the more obvious examples have been new-body manifestation, the default is purely psychological.

To be perfectly honest, the entire Wilson/Laiko dynamic actually started as a way to poke fun at the whole idea of splits, but I removed most of the parodying features. I have no plans on giving Wilson a split. Why? Because I dislike the whole "devil on one shoulder, angel on the other" concept. In my experience, morality cannot be simplified like that and you can't say "this choice is always better than this one" because it all depends on the situation and a million other things we aren't sure how to measure. So, I don't want Wilson to have a "good" and an "evil" side. I just want him to have a human side. Or, fox side as it were. That one side has both the good and the bad in it. The closest thing he had to an "evil" side was the Shard of Guilt, but even it had its reasons. Plus, I made sure to state that it was just that, a shard of a personality. It was one dark emotion taken to the extreme. Both Wilson and Laiko are full personalities, and both are the "right" version. They're just different. They both are the same character, but each one emphasizes different parts of the little guy's whole personality. And because of that, they aren't going to have a split like conflict because they can't. Even in Wilson's mind, the two do not exist as discrete entities. As I alluded to in the 12th Hunger Games, they are two side of the same coin. Each shows a different face, but they have the same base material.

And if we want to go back really far, that is part of the reason Laiko is a Kitsune. I dislike Western mythology because to me, it all seems so similar. There's always the knight in shining armor and they fight the big bad evil supernatural creature. I can only think of... 3 Western mythology creatures that aren't stated as being evil. (phoenix, griffon, hipogriff). There are certainly ones I've missed, but that doesn't really change my argument. But things are more interesting in Eastern mythology. Sure, there are some creatures stated as being evil, such as the Al-Mij-Miraj (Miraj). But there are also ones stated as being good, such as the Snow Lion (LeiShi). And then best of all, there are ones that can go either way, or even neither way, such as Kitsune. They can be both protectors and tricksters, both victims and masterminds, both sneaks and champions. And in my mind, that makes for a more true and rounded character, not a cardboard cut out villain or hero to paste into stories.

Let's see, hunger games battle... I got so caught up in watching Metal Gear RAY finally doing some major cool things in these battles that I forgot to watch myself, EXCELSUS was an idiot, and TECHPIECE almost won.

Wow.

Yeah, us European/American types like our mythological stereotyping, don't we...There's no depth. You can replace all the names with other names and have the effect be the same.

Well, the western ones. White people up until christianity pretty much had the same gods, same heroes, same stories. Odin and Zeus aren't really all that different from Jupiter. There were a few pockets of not-boring, but mostly it was just variations on a theme. Eastern stuff, amerindian animism, they've at least got some flare.
