Potion three please.
Wish I had some lime to go with the coconut. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=BE&v=Tbgv8PkO9eo)
-
Let's go with... 46.
-
Same as last year, I'm gonna take potion number 1.
-
Number 12, because tasting of bacon is never a bad thing.
-
Contamino Schmanimo. 17! Bottoms up!
-
I'm curious what nothing tastes like, but I think I'm going to go with 41.
-
45
-
40, please!
-
18, please. Also, munch some Space Cthulhu cookies from the last time. Eldritch charms!
-
I'll grab 39 then. Ominous latin has never turned out to be bad, right?
-
I'll take Potion Number 9!
-
Potion 13
-
Well, Random.org rolled a 41, so...Potion 41!
-

The fluid inside has a wriggling consistency and smells of decay and smoke. It tastes of plastic.
Oh god, that sounds really bad, but the 28th is my birthday, so bottoms up guess it's mine! 28
-
I'm gonna assume the people saying bottoms up aren't drinking these immediately, since the effects aren't permanent on the majority of them.
-
I'm certainly not.
-
Oh and to whoever feels like updating the wiki, add these to people's inventories as
"Potion #"
since I have them organized by number.
-
23!!
-
I'll take Potion 30.
-
FOR THE PURPOSES OF WIKI UPDATES!
Is there only one of each potion? Cause we already have duplicates of 41 :P Otherwise, we can just update with whatever they say they want.
Additionally, these are teleporting into people's inventories?
-
Let's go with 14.
-
46
-
Random.org gave me 6, so 6 it is.
-
Potion 42, because why not?
-
Potion #50, please.
Thanks PW!
-
Post modified! And Thanks! =D
-
Let's see... I took fourteen last time, but like hell I'm picking the Altered potion.
Potion 20! I couldn't find any strong HMRC pantheon references in there, so let's go with that one.
might be one or two negative ones.
Might? Oh come on, PW; we know you love to see us suffer.
-
He doesn't have to give us negative effects to get us to make ourselves suffer. See: anything that can be described as "high powered."

I suppose people could do duplicates, but only of ones that haven't been used in game yet.
-
Do I get one?
-
23, if nobody's taken it. If they have, then 25. First numbers that really came to mind.
-
Do I get one?
I don't see why not. Hey PW, tell him what one turns him into a super monster!
-
Potion number 37.
-
Do I get one?
I could give one to your NPC.
-
(I was kinda hoping you'd just say no.)
-
I'll take number 7
-
Let's have a 22.
-
#2
-
#50, please.
-
Potion 8 thanks pw.
Sweet indigo sweat and copper. Yumm!
-
17
-
Hmm. So, ignoring the stuff like shape, stopper, and words, which could mean just about anything or nothing, I think the important things are size of the potion, and redundancy with other people (which gives more data about what's inside).
That means there's three options to me. Fifty, which is the only "quite large" potion that's been chosen twice, six, which is the only "unreasonably large" potion that has already been chosen, and 49, which is the only "tankard sized" potion. Ordered by rarity of the size, of course.
I choose 50, because there's the risk that potion size is negatively correlated with potency. If someone else chooses six or forty-nine, I'll switch to that one instead.
-
I'm taking numba ten
-
19 is my new "Someone else took my number and used it anyway" potion.
-
47.
-
Can I have one?
Either 4 or a multiple of 4 that hasn't been taken.
-
Wait, is your guy still alive?
-
I believe so, he didn't sign up for any missions IIRC after the fiasco of mission 15
-
Can I have one?
Either 4 or a multiple of 4 that hasn't been taken.
No one took 4. You can have 4.
-
I figured it was too late for this, since it's a month later, but noticed that some people were still getting them. If I can still get one of these, could I get 21, and if not that then 27?
-

Did anyone else take either of those? If not, go for it.
