==> Schoolfeeding: Commence

[soundtricks]

-- CURRENT blackoutEtude [BE] RIGHT NOW opened memo INFODUMP --

since I can't believe that most of you
still don't even know who your teammates are
(except for maybe the humans but come on that's easy)
I think it's pretty safe to assume most of you also haven't been doing much to figure out how this game works
and why some of you suck so bad at it
although really
there's no helping it in some cases
fair warning, this is long as shit because I've ~actually~ been looking shit up about this game
so buckle in kiddos
time to kick this steam-powered information locomotive into proverbial gear



alright, let's start off easy
most of your consorts call you something, or say something about you that's supposed to give you a hint as to who you are
it's all over Derse and Prospit too
if you look at their headlines close enough
so, titles have two parts-

TITLE PART 1: CLASSES

the first part of most 'titles', a class dictates how you use your powers
far as I've been able to pick up
there are twelve basic classes and two master classes, as follows
though I wasn't able to get anything but names for some of them

rogue- usually a female class, 'steals' whatever their aspect is for the use of teammates
thief- also usually female, 'steals' their aspect from anyone and everyone for their own use
heir- ???
maid- ???
page- ???
knight- hardcore fucks who use their aspects to suck less, generally
seer- use their aspect to 'see' outcomes and possibilities, depending on their aspect
mage- ???
sylph- ???
witch- generally a female class, also hardcore fucks who manipulate their surroundings via their aspect
bard (mine)- usually a male class (the fuck♫) literally all I got was that this class does what the fuck it wants when the fuck it wants and how the fuck it wants, no lie
prince- invites destruction via their aspect (which was weirdly specific), also pretty hardcore I guess

master classes are muse (generally female only) and lord (generally male only), but the dudes were pretty quiet on that front
movin' on♪

TITLE PART 2: ASPECTS

second part of your title, there's only twelve of these
so I guess they just combo these up with classes at random to try and avoid doubles
whatever the case, the twelve aspects are-

time- one of two necessary for a successful session, pretty much what it says on the tin
time players manipulate time, either to help themselves or help their team
space- second aspect necessary for a successful session, space players also do pretty much what's obvious, and also have the joy of breeding duties
so yeah, whoever our spacey jerk is
better be taking care of those frogs on your planet
breath- WINDY THINGS it's actually pretty cool some of the stuff that breath players can do with the whole 'be the wind' thing or whatever
light- luck
like, that's literally it
~luck~
void- ??? seriously I got nothing no one seems to know how the fuck it actually works
heart- something about souls and shit, so there's any heart players
try not to go all Fatal Konflict on us, okay troll Shang Tsung♫
life- again, pretty much what it says on the tin- do the lifey thing, fuckfaces
blood- ??? I don't even know but it just SOUNDS cool
mind- thoughts and decisions, although how it works depends on class, I guess
rage- berserkers or stopping people from being batshit off the handle, depends on class
doom- ??? again, literally no clue
hope (mine)- idk hope lasers or some shit I seriously got the worst fucking combo in existence


of course, all aspects and classes are related
paired up, kinda I guess
but the only ones I know for sure are the classes

rogue-thief
bard-prince
seer-sylph
witch-mage
page-knight
maid-heir
muse-lord

far as I can figure aspect-wise, it's probably something like
space-time
mind-rage
life-blood
void-light
hope-doom
and I guess breath-heart even though that makes no sense
but whatever
moving on to more important things-

FRAYMOTIFS

big fucking attacks based on your aspect, pretty much
also combo attacks with other aspects, if you're lucky
they're sold in village shops according to my consorts
but they're all expensive as fuck
and the combinations seem pretty specific depending who you are
both players gotta own the fraymotif before they can use it though
so don't waste your boondollars on anything that isn't gonna be useful


ECHELADDER

essentially♫
all your fucking levels
there's about 30 total and that's before you even hit something else
pretty much decides how hard you hit, how many hits you can take and how hard a hit you can take
pretty sure there's an exponential pattern to it
don't really care though, I'm near the top of mine, I'm pretty sure


PLANET QUESTS

all that stupid shit your consorts are making you do♫
yeah, that's kind of important, some way or another, when it comes to fixing your planet
not all planet quests can be finished completely just by fetch quests and crap though
which brings us to

==> PLANET SUBQUEST: DENIZENS

boss monsters, sometimes optional, sometimes not
all depends on your planet and your quest and whether or not you take the choice instead of killin' 'em outright
generally, if you can't finish your planet quests by doing the stuff your consorts ask you to
then your denizen's got something to do with it
and they're probably not gonna make it easy on ya
not recommended for the weak, faint of heart, or otherwise useless until...

(last, but certainly not least)


GOD TIER

this is it boys and girls
the big leagues
don't get much better than that
control of your aspect as dictated by your class
functional immortality
I mean you can still die, but you'll pop right back to life
unless your death was 'just' or 'heroic'
which of course means if you wanna stay alive, none of that martyr shit
unless you WANT to stay dead, in which case by all fucking means
only thing is that you can only get it by dying on your quest cocoon as far as I know
so for most of you♫
probably not happening unless it's by accident
it's supposed to be pretty fucking sweet though, so if some of you want to take the chance at ~not sucking~ for a change
then hey
here's your chance


that's pretty much all I got for now
knock yourselves out trying to add more
or figuring out your titles if you haven't yet
though I'm pretty sure I know most of Beta's


now, I've got a denizen to try and find, because mine sure as fuck isn't on my planet
so
responses to come at an as of yet undetermined time


and before some of you even start♫
just
fucking
DON'T

Comments

[artful_transgressor]

what
the fuck do you mean
ROGUES ARE USUALLY A FEMALE CLASS

Yeah you pretty much stopped reading right there.

[soundtricks]

uh
pretty much exactly that♫
like really, what can I say to make that more obvious♫

[artful_transgressor]

okay lemme rephrase that
WHY THE FUCK AM I IN A CLASS USUALLY RESERVED FOR GIRLS

and dont eVen think about mocking me for this
cause i just read further and it sounds like youre in the same goddamn boat

[apiarycryptonaut]

Oh, oh oh oh!
I need to figure... out wh4t doom is!
4nd um, then how... to ste4l it, yes!
Th4t shouldn't be too... h4rd to solve, no!

4nd um, Zur4he, I... think we should 4ll... try to god tier!
Th4t would be very... very very very good!
Especi4lly the not dying... p4rt of it, yes!
Or um, 4t le4st... less ch4nce of dying.

...4nd, wow, um, B4rd... of hope, wow, yes.

[soundtricks]

yeah I guess you do
so doom, huh♫
thief or rogue♫
either or sounds way cooler than it should
oh well, I guess ~someone~ had to get a title that doesn't suck

and yeah the not-dying thing is probably for the best
even though you still have to die to do it
but hey
nothing ventured, nothing gained or however that goes
right♫

[defensivealchemist]

5o what youre te11ing me i5
i can 5ee angry people

oh and if i die in the right place i wont die ever again
unle55 i do

[soundtricks]

I dunno, you tell me buddy
seer of rage, I take it♫


and yeah, pretty much
but like I said, conditions and whatever

[polygraphing]

Yeah, you are skimming the shit out of this.


wow
that zure iz a lot of yelow text
lookz like you have been buzy
al figuring out zhit
like dang thiz iz praktikaly a book

[soundtricks]

mandya if you think that's a book
then I'm not sure I want to know if you've ever actually ~read~ a book or not

and yeah, it's a lot of shit
it's also a lot of IMPORTANT SHIT so you might want to make sure you read it

[enlivenedaltruist]

So...as a Seer of Space I...
Hm. :/
I should be able to see...WHERE people should be in order to reach certain outcomes?
Or...is that the wrong use of Space?

[soundtricks]

who the fuck even knows♫
I can't tell you how to work the spacey thing any more than you can tell me how to work the hopey thing
I think the best we got is to try this shit out and see what works


also who the fuck are you even♫

[twintimes]

..oh thIs mAkes more sense now
mostly the pArt About hAvIng some vAgue IdeA whAt A rogue does As opposed to A thIef
becAuse nobody could seem to mAke up theIr mInd whIch one I Am
but sInce IrA And I Are somehow counted As one plAyer
I guess I must be the rogue And she the thIef

..oh, of tIme, for the record
we've been collectIng frAymotIfs All over but there's no consorts here so there's no shops you just bAsIcAlly Input An Amount of treAsure Into A mechAnIsm And the thIng pops out

thAnks A lot for thIs post!!
It's reAlly helpful

[soundtricks]

wait
ok who's Ira♫
and how the hell can two of you count as one player♫♪

Because if there was a way for two people to share a role, you're going to be REALLY PISSED that no one told you about it so you could have tried to bumrush your moirail and make him play.

you don't have consorts either♫
well, I guess Avispa has them now but she didn't at first
maybe yours are hiding like hers were


oh
uh
you're welcome, I guess♫

[ataraxicarcher]

holy fuck this wall of yellow is still pretty close to making me have a epileptic fit can you like use a darker color or some shit if you're gonna hit us with a massive wave of tl;dr? /okayididreaditanyway

good job and shit getting it together though /creditwherecreditisfuckingdue

[soundtricks]

I'm pretty fucking sure
I've already explained the font color= blood thing
at least three times already
like fucking seriously, we're ~aliens~, learn some cultural fucking sensitivity


and ~duh~ it's a good job, ~someone~ had to do it and I wasn't counting on anyone else to manage

[cowbelle]

hmmm
thank you ♥
you have been very useful!!!
althooough!!!
your tone leaves muuuch to be desireeed

But that's not the point today, so.

anywaaay
breath and heart aaare connected through biological means???
buuut
as a resuuult
theoreticallyyy
blood and heart and life and breath develop interchangability
life and heart
or breath and blood!!!
a circle
instead of a line!!!

[soundtricks]

my tone is perfectly fine, fuck you very much
little miss vowel abuse
and put those hearts the fuck away before I ~make~ you
nobody wants solicitations like that slung at 'em all over the place
fucking weirdo


...what the actual fuckin' fuck are you talking about♫
they're goddamn ~aspects~, not science
god, learn to fucking process information why don't you♫

[defectivesaboteur]

Oh, wow;
7hi5 i5 a11 ex7raordinari1y informa7ive!;
7hank you very much for 7aking 7he 7ime 7o 7ype a11 of 7hi5 up;

According 7o wha7 I have heard from variou5 5ource5 on Pro5pi7;
I7 5eem5 I am our 5pacey jerk;

Which, now 7ha7 I know more abou7 how 7he con5or75 of o7her5 behave, 5eem5 very pecu1iar;

[soundtricks]

well, at least ~some~ of you jerks appreciate it
honestly, you'd think I didn't actually do any work to figure all this out with the way some of these fucks are so flippant
like fucking seriously, I don't see any of THEM bringin' forth any useful info


well, better you than pretty much everyone else in our session
because let's face it
the rest of these losers would wind up killing the frogs horribly somehow
and space is fucking complicated
'cause it's one of the ones most affected by class
most I can tell ya is that it's got somethin' t' do with where in space somethin' is and how much space it takes up

far as breedin' duties go
it's the frogs
you gotta breed 'em all together somehow in order to make this thing called the 'Genesis Frog'
it's a big part of winnin' the game
so don't fuck about with it, alright♫
shit's serious


yeah I mean mine are pretty fuckin' helpful
but I'm gathering that not everyone's are
and apparently some don't even have any
probably another glitch in the fucking game
who the fuck knows♫
maybe they're fixable though
or somethin', at least

==> PHERAE: Be from the FUTURE

[elaphaea]

It's a good thing that trollian has a timeline management option, since BE's memo falls firmly in the category of "raising as many questions as it answers." And it really does answer a lot of questions.

( ...goodness. this is all... a great deal to take in... :o )
( thank you for assembling it, even if i was not...initially available to benefit from your work. )
( it seems your research has been incredibly extensive... though it raises a number of questions as well. ...but of course that isn't your fault! )
( i... also seem to be a "spacey jerk." a maid, to be precise, since that is what my consorts have been calling me... )
( and yet... ds is also a space player...? even though such a thing should not be possible...? )*
( and, like ds i am a bit at a loss as to...what, exactly... i'm meant to do with all these frogs... )
( ...breed them? )
( i mean... i could certainly do that; it's not so different from my lusii research... but without some clear goal a breeding program can't get very far... )
( oh, i'm sorry, i'm rambling... i can't really expect you to answer every single question. i guess that would be a little...embarrassing, even, if you had to do all the work for me... )
( so i hope i haven't bothered you...too terribly much... )

*ooc: I can't remember if separate sessions are general public knowledge or if that was before Pherae's time; hopefully I didn't just fuck this up.

[soundtricks]

yeah well, better do it quick
cause there's probably more left to figure out

You try very hard not to lose your cool at what you feel is another condescending jerk- after the seadweller, you are in no mood for stupid.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be your day.

ok first off
there's three sessions total as of right now
my team
your team
and the humans
so don't feel too special there moonshine, there's two other spacey jerks who are ~supposed~ to be playing
whether or not they'll survive though, hell that's anybody's guess

far as breeding duties, you breed the frogs together to create a Genesis Frog
which is a Pretty Big Deal
so I'm sure your team would appreciate if you didn't let them get murdered or eaten
because if you're missing the wrong frog
there go your odds of creating a proper Genesis Frog
whoops

and shit of course you bother me
~everyone~ bothers me
it's just a matter of how much and how much I'm in a mood to take

for research purposes, I'm gonna answer both the questions you're probably gonna ask about this conversation and my tolerance:
> a lot
> not really in the mood for stupid shit



your lot really needs to start paying a-fuckin'-ttention to shit
I mean seriously
seeing trolls askin' shit what's already been answered is starting to make me not want to bother answering anything at all

[appleful]

You read to the "warning" and decide to take a peak to scroll down. Once you get to the end, you really don't want to scroll back up. The headlines make it seem like it's important, but reading through all this yellow would require you to concentrate on a lot of text. Ugh.

why are there no pictures!!!!!
you shuold've made it into a comic
easy diagrams are fine too

[soundtricks]

Sweet lords of the outer reaches, WHY THIS?

no
no I shouldn't have
because I am pretty sure I can't illustrate most of these concepts with squiggles and stick figures
so if y' want pictures
you're gonna have t' read it and draw 'em yourself

late 2 infodump party but we can say she isnt idk

[starstorm]

woooooowwwwwwww
wahwah knows a wot about fings owo

'course I do
unlike SOME trolls, I'm actually playing this game t' win it
and fuck's sake

who even really knows with this game♫


what the hell's wrong with it that y' can't touch it♫

and like I said
