Recreate Disney!


Bind Nyarlathotep as a persona to Hitler.

[6] You do...wait, what are you thinking? It certainly isn't ending well for you. Respawn?

Continue trollingness.

[3-1v6] They don't let you.

Respawn as Supreme Overgod of The United Emirates of Mexico.

[2] You respawn as a Mexican.

Do I have breaks?

[1] "No. Never."

Blow up the universe containing the records on creating a pocket universe.

How?

Probably isn't that interesting. Nazi Germany didn't fall because America invaded--it fell faster because of that, but the main reason the Nazis lost was because Hitler was an idiot.

Ach! Ich diese Zeilen lesen, wissen Sie.

[6+2v5] Your new Nyarlothotep-Powers let you destroy him.

Offer crew a job to defeat Hitler. Promise them Hitler's art collection as payment.

[5] You do so.

They, being lifeforms, albeit impossible ones, die, and their remains will be eaten by the void. It'll balance out.

Tell that to...well, anything which grows exponentially. Even assuming the Void Plague dies of old age, they'll have increased in number. Imagine the rabbits in Australia, only Australia is evidently of infinite size.

1. I don't remember. Maybe?

2. She's a White Apprentice, which I'm fairly certain was used the first time around. We certainly checked her menus...which strangely enough sounds wrong.

3. "Emotion-driven response"? This is probably the worst Sibling to try that on. And I don't think that killing a friend would show that "we don't give a fuck what happens to our friends," it would show that if we did, our semen would have greater intelligence than we did.
...That sounded really, really wrong, but I made my point.

Browser crashed as I hit post. 

For some reason I read that as Bowser.

Amusing.

I haven't actually come up with anything more on Theorycraft #4, but I thought I'd share my musings in case they spark somebody else to the answer.



The obvious interpretation of that line would be that Ciro dies at the end of the cycle, then everyone gets reincarnated and the cycle starts over. Except, it's unlikely that Ciro just needs to die; heck, we've already done that. The "defeat" must be a specific thing, and probably needs to happen in a certain way for the desired consequences to take effect. The half-formed idea I've been toying with is, what if Ciro's death isn't actually the end of the cycle, just the end of his/her role? It could be that the defeat is simply required for the important part of the cycle to happen. What that might be, I don't know, hence why this is just useless ramblings and not a proper theory! Probably impetus to make another character act, or maybe we'll give narrative control to someone in the final moment. Maybe the whole thing is an elaborate plot to get Ciro to give Oric narrative control via the Astral Influx?

The bit about Oric's plot makes sense.
As for what constitutes defeat...hm. Maybe cycles end either when Oric is (permanently) killed or Ciro is captured(/permanently killed)?

She could have a brother? Or a whole family?

Who says she doesn't? :3

Inb4 "You killed my family in the arena, prepare to die."

So all Goombas are related? You racist! They're mushrooms, not hillbillies!
Goom-Bess is even a different color, although I'm willing to put that down to gender dimorphism due to not having studied Goomba physiology.

Anyways, I didn't know Cherish was a healer. I would not have suggested killing her if I knew that. I'm starting to think I missed an update.

Or possibly the entire bit when we met her the first time.
And the healing spells in her inventory.
And, again, why would it be a good idea to begin with? "You killed my friends? I WILL KILL ANOTHER OF MY FRIENDS NOW."

However, theorycrafting isn't the only problem - arguing about suggestions has the same cluttering effect.  What would be really nice is some way to view only updates, hiding all of the intervening posts.

Well...hm. Two possibilities. 1: Someone indexes all the turns, like I do with A Beginner's Guide, and the index is linked from the OP. 2: Someone figures out how to only view freeform's posts.

Oh, and welcome, Scionox. I'm the most consistently sane Bay12er. Glad to meet you!

I like it when I look back over updates and see Goom-bess accidentally written as "Goombella."

She could not be a more obvious rip-off if she tried.

Oh yeah?!?
...Um, could someone who's actually played the Paper Mario games back up my statement with a way Boom-Gess could be more ripoffey?

Because the Void Plague turns all that nothing into something. Which is them converted into more void by the void, leaving you with the exact same amount of void that you started with, no matter how many void plagueoids there are.

However, there are more Void Plague individuals than before, because they (being life) reproduce, and the Void only feeds on their waste.

At this point, I'd say that it's up to the GM to decide which way it goes, you two.

He should be the one to decide on all this stuff, anyway.

True, but I like explaining why I expect things to turn out the way they do.
