So. Got safe passage. Still waiting for Monstone to show up with the damned Quills. But we're taking advantage of his foot-dragging to scrounge up every last scrap of grist we can. If it weren't for the fact that we're going to be gone soon, I'd never suggest it - the land rep hit alone... But once the Scratch is done, our Lands will stop existing. Land rep and carapace rep won't matter. Not for a while. So why not spend boondollars like water, and loot every consort village and the moons for every trinket and piece of junk we can get our hands on? We're going to need the grist more than the land rep, soon. Hell, Riley's in the middle of tearing down our Spires. We've already looted them, and what we could get out of the 'cant. So why not tear the Spires down brick by brick, too? I'd rather have what looks like way too much grist than wonder if we've got enough, and it's not like we'll need the Spires after this anyways. Everyone's already done the [Slaying of the Beast], mostly - so that's not a viable option for more grist. I think Joseph's trying to crack some of the Denizen Vaults open to get the grist from there, if he can; if anyone can manage it, it's a Light player, right? I'm torrenting all of Monstone's grist to the rest of us - not like he'll need it, after we leave. He's got his own ride. We'd loot his land too, if it were safe to go to.

stanzicapparatireplayers said: Good to know that you’re willing to murder thousands (who are not doomed) to save billions who are inherently doomed. Yeah, your moral compass isn’t fucked up at *all*. Doomed? You’re willing to write off entire sapient civilizations, because the game thinks they ought to be crushed by space rocks? News flash, Dallyce, the reason they’re “doomed” is because the game kills them! That’s kind of the entire fucking point, of getting rid of the machine that systematically dooms universes. Have you been playing for so long that you’ve internalized Sburb’s own genocidal imperatives? Do you for one second actually buy that these billions of people don’t deserve life as much as you do, because you’re a player and you’re special? The game kills them, yeah. The 'doomed' tag is something that gets applied to every non-player. "Non-doomed non-player" is a glitch and you've got no way of getting them out of the game (except sending them back to rebuild, with the carapaces - which probably doesn't count the way you want it to). Time's about choices, dude. I've spent seven years playing Time. You can choose to try and break the machine, yeah. But then what? If the players don't complete the Frog, don't stop the Reckoning - the new universe is never born. Most games, the players come from one world. Trolls tend to be a bit more spread out. But: one world, for a whole universe? That's a pretty decent trade, to me. And maybe it's just me being all Doomkid, but...well, when people die? If you can't bring them back, it was their time to go. Everything has its time to end - otherwise, there's no room for new things to begin.

On the last one, remember that you are not going to impress anyone by disobeying the ground rules. We keep records for Basic runs and Full runs, not fucked-up half-runs. If you do not properly complete the Denizen quests you have not "beaten" the game, reckoning or no. Though if we *were* keeping those records, you probably wouldn't impress anyone anyways, because that dubious honor belongs to spacetimeCounselor and his infamous less-than-48-hours session. And if I ever do have the fortune of meeting old Benedict in one of my sessions, I intend to personally introduce to him some small fraction of the horrors which must be going on in the universe represented by that poor, diseased little frog. Ahahaha, yessss. Dude, Ben. Your first session was so terrible that speedrunners use it as a metric for "this is unbelievably shitty". Which probably means that Bfly is such a shitty speedrunner, even other speedrunners don't like her. Oh don't try to excvse him for his part. I have heard abovt that session. While this Bvtterfly person is vndovbtedly heniovs in her own right, his actions deserve the scorn they have earned. Those poor froggies :( And his co-player was right to call him out for being a jerk! He's the jerkiest jerk who's ever been a jerk!

spacetimecounselor said: maybe you shoulda just let the anon win that one, dallyce Nope, not an option.

I would if I weren't worried that the inevitable fuck-up, or the fallout from it, is going to splash on me somehow.At least if I try and explain how he's being puppeted by the FG, I can justify kicking him in the bulge when the fallout splashes all over me.

spacetimecounselor answered you: "Why do First Guardians get such a bad rap with you people anyway; Doc rules." Really. Well *our* FG had my moirail's mom killed and I've never heard of *anything* to suggest that it isn't something any of the rest of them wouldn't do if they thought it was "necessary" to prepare the players. So, y'know what? Fuck all of them with a rusty chainsaw, I'm not trusting any of them further than I can toss Derse. stanzicapparatireplayers Wait, I thought you were a troll? I was under the impression that you people didn’t have moms. ...she's a troll? Whether I am a troll or not - and yeah, you clearly haven't been playing the dating sim at all, or at least you haven't touched my character's route more than the once - my moirail is human. Toni had a mom. I had direwolfmom. Also, way to be culturally sensitive, dude - just because our guardians aren't the same species as us doesn't mean that we don't call them 'mom or 'dad!
