==> Schoolfeeding: Commence

-- 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

it is spelled 'thank you'!!!
alsooo
there was only a single heart!!!
howeveeer
if you are so fond of theeem
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I am aware of that!!!
however
the connection is symbolic
this necessitates the need for a factual baseee
iiin this caseee
that is biology!!!
buuut
that is only my pet theory :(
I am nooot very smart
sooo
so so so
it is possible that I am incorrect!!!
but you are very very very smart!!!

[personal profile] artful_transgressor 2013-05-21 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
honestly i kinda feel like the game may be extracting its price for saVing our liVes by fucking with us for its own amusement
but thats just my working theory

yeah i said that
but i also said its not a good idea to go 'oh okay serVers are interchangeable' and just let people die off
for one thing i dunno what happens when the chain gets too small
and i doubt anyone else does either
and your session in particular has the least distance to go before that could become a problem
but more than that theres other effects of people dying off that dont haVe anything to do with the serVer order
yknow how branch guy was whining about how he wished hed just died with his friends
well theres friends and quadrant crushes and general social bonds all throughout the sessions
to say nothing of relying on each others skills to stay aliVe
eVentually someones gonna die who was important to you
or someone close to you
and itll haVe a negatiVe impact
one you cant dictate the size of
eVery death could haVe a serious ripple effect on the game and the timeline
eVen if you dont realize it was significant until like 200 hours after the fact
which is why its important to aVoid all deaths that can possibly be aVoided

ughhhhhh
if it makes about as much sense as she does i should just cull myself now

yeah that sounds about right
think i may bite the bullet and head to kappys planet soon
which should be where my second gate leads
it should still be more or less directly overhead
not that i can see it anymore with this fucking static

man show some biological sensitivity to humans if were gonna be sharing info its like you have a beef with anyone with eyes

ok too soon. sometimes really terrible shit happens, and we've lost some folks but damn girl as much as we've gotta move on and shit, this is a memo and some people arent as easy to come to terms about this as i am /lookevenihavestandards


You're only speaking up because you worry about the others. After all you weren't that close to Chi-Ro or Sparks (Did you even speak to him?), but some of your sessionmates were. You're perfectly at terms with the fact that the game is pretty real and you can really die, it totally didn't take real deaths to drive the point home.

You keep telling yourself that.

why would i addre55 a memo to everyone
that5 redundant

You examine the memo creation options. When you last saw the ADDRESS function you assumed it would filter the memo to those people, so you ignored it. Evidently that's not what it does.

dont te11 me i need to hunt down the one5 who hide up in the tree5
