Shouldn't you be replying to my PM.
Tonight, when I'm on a computer and not a cellphone, if that's alright. Sorry about that, really didn't have time to properly reply yet. Exams, they're kicking my ass.

Delicious pm though, very exquisite.
Hnnnnnng

Also I'll be posting my actions in TEN if that's what you're waiting for, PW. I've been busy with graduation and stuff.

Is there a mind control amp available in the armory? Someone could use one and drive me around like a car.

That won't work in the long run seeing as it drains their will points.

But I have 0 will, ie no resistance at all. Wouldn't it take all of forever for the points to get used up?

Besides, I can't really control my character anymore, just point him in a direction and hope he doesn't decide to kill everything there.

Not your will points, they don't matter much seeing as you're already being puppeted, the amp user's will points. Using amps too much makes people more susceptible to mind fuckery, which is quite bad if they happen to possess a mind control device that anyone who controls them will then have access to.

Not to mention that those kind of amps cause very messy feedback and "the box listens to those that scream the loudest" to quote the AM, so you might end up being controlled instead of your target or having your mind rewritten if the one you're trying to control is willful enough.

...In that case, I should probably keep a good 20km distance away from anything that can control me, because my will is 0. I'm the easiest target.

In unrelated matters, are the pill's effects predictable or completely random?

That's what Grate is trying to figure out.

It definately isnt random, but some of the interactions between reagents can be unpredictable.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Just try to go on missions with a lower chance of mind-fuckery.
Or put some points into Will at the end of the mission and try not to roll crap in the future.

Words of wisdom. Questionable use, but wisdom.

Heads up: After today, no posts till monday, unfortunately. I'll be out of state and driving most of the time, so I doubt I'll have time to get a post up.

I'll just have to put several turns' worth of experiments up at once after I get the next results.

Have fun being absent from your home state, and more relevantly doing whatever you're doing there.
