Luckily, I don't need to do anything of the sort for now, or even in the near future. Since I never considered such a thing, I never planned events to require the function. I could definitely see some benefits to it though.

I suppose the effect could be sort of replicated with a few hyperlinks, though admittedly clunkier...


Alright, thanks for the answers. If I ever need special coding, I'll ask about it in the IRC channel.

>>116566
Yeah, as nice as it sounds, allowing the authors to freely submit custom javascript is.. a bad idea to say the least. At a minimum, the submissions would need to be manually reviewed and approved. This is because javascript can alter any part of the website in any way it wants. It can also fetch and submit any data to any 3rd party website, which would be a privacy and security concern. For instance, someone could submit a script that would steal cookies, potentially stealing cookies of mods/admins, which would then allow the attacker to log in and wipe the website.

If such a feature would be added, then it would need to go through a parser which would generate a limited set of html/css/js like the current tags do, for instance, spoilers, or icons.

>>116590
Obviously it wouldn't be giving them a place to shove in javascript!

I'm not 100% on how it'd actually be implemented since I'm not a coder, but it'd be part of the post creation ...box? area?. an option you could turn on, then feed image and text into somehow.

the logistics might need figuring out, but it wouldn't be just "here shove in raw code this is safe"!

Even adding something restrictive like that could be a risk; you'd have to be careful to ensure input is sanitized and the mechanism is secure.

If anyone is curious as to what the monsters are saying/ Can't read, you can always ask in here for an explanation.

>>117037
It's actually because our hunter said that he couldn't understand the monster that made us ask for Toblerone to speak English.

On a side note for some reason it's taking forever and a half to upload images at the moment; So if a character seems to do something contrary and it was a recent post, it's because I tried to post before that post happened.

Did anyone suggest to attack?

>>117042

Garak in his scared state chose to interpret 'take all his bullets' as 'unload his entire gun'. You'll have far less control of the monster hunters, instead having to 'guide' them. On the plus side, this means they have a personality, and it also means that if Garak 'dies' rather than the quest ending you simply start with a new hunter looking for Garak.

Hello, how are you doing?

self-defense scenario: if you're in a crowded alleyway and Lena Dunham comes at you, are you willing to shoot and kill her to defend your own life

Well I guess the obvious solution, for Vos at least, would be to just tell the examiners about the eelbee larvae and how they came about in advance. Could even turn it into a proselytization opportunity.

>That's too bad, she'd make an interesting team with Valeno.
Because Valeno's a thief? Because they could both cheat through small spaces, the poison is neutralized by coffee... or are we assuming she trips their vulnerability?

At the very least her inventory needs reconsideration, plus reevaluating personality / character in light of that debilitating geas. (An idealized appreciation for law as concept doesn't work as well when you've been dramatically shackled by objective laws).

>>116915
Okay, so I guess then we've got more than one feasible plan.

The first plan is the slow route. We get the whole ship quarantined and wait it out. We'd also need to negotiate a reduced pay right while the military is responsible for protection and providing food.

The big cost here is time. Which doesn't impact us outside the game much at all, but could have other consequences (like, if we're delayed enough, we might not might not make it back in time to pay our bills in Passholdt). Other costs might be NPC (or PCs) acting up as patience frays.

Second plan blackmail or bribe, where we use an OOC question to find us a social weak point to apply leverage to. Biggest drawback there I think is such activities require communication, and we're in a position that might complicate bringing that leverage to the fore. And we're banking on a cold call through a possibly indirect medium going according to plan.

Third plan is to duck out: interrupt / block scrying, convince the bosun and crew to fudge the truth, and then portal away and meet up in town overland. Big risks there are probably if we botch covering our tracks or making the getaway. (Getti

It's possible she might have willingly taken the geas upon herself as part of the process of passing the bar. Also, it seems as though geasa and other spiritual bindings cause an actual change in personality and motivation rather than reluctant compulsion

>Original binding may be gone, but the effect on Nistamatsin's nature doesn't just vanish.

>Frisk

Knew he was far away, and previously mad, but we saw him after the events in Ecton, appearing fine, and Ji was on good terms with him I thought. I was assuming the army could magically contact him, and his reputation would be worthwhile rather than his medical expertise. Basically “you trust me, and I trust them, so don’t waste their time.” Kinda deal.

>doesn’t know Dad
I had considered that, but didn’t decide whether I OOC thought that was the case or not, because Maru IC hasn’t considered it, and won’t agree. She’s marked him for Calistras Sting, she’s not gonna back down now.

>Maru’s appearance
The lack of scaring, pretty face, and corn rows compared to Afro are also not super faithful to her description, but it’s a good approximation. The main idea was to see if anyone thought the website was cool enough to design their own mini as well. Might be hard though, it’s a somewhat limited program.

>knocking Maru out
Tryna work with the “throw you a bone” plea earlier. She could also be talked into standing down by basically harping on how if she’s the only one opposed, she’s fucking everyone over, and wouldn’t that be hypocrital of ms “I care about everyone and no one else does.” Combined with attacking her pride, a sort of “quit being a fucking baby and stop fucking this up for everyone” could also work depending on how you phrased it. I pointed out non-lethal takedown as a option first because she’d have a better reaction to it after the fact and it’s more sure fire than trying to verbally convince her. Kind of an, “ignore her, she’s doing this for attention” approach would be mildly successful in most cases, but I’ll make sure to outline motivators in chat here.

I wonder if Emils is going to actually learn morality. Maybe she should pick up a book on it from the library.

Depends. Emils is already capable of 'feeling' what its rabbold form should be feeling, if it's mimicking the brain completely. However, Emils is perfectly capable of ignoring it or turning it off. Maintaining and following those emotions instead of merely using them to maintain a disguise would need to be an active choice on Emils' part, or one we condition into it.

Friendly reminder that you have the same id in this thread that you have in the actual quest, and its not a good look to declare what kind of quest coxwette gets to be in one thread while claiming that you arent trying to do that in the quest thread

Friendly reminder that whenever someone claims they are "friendly", they most certainly are not. You for instance seem to be taking this quest a bit too seriously.

And no, barring the occasional lewd scene that we all enjoy, this hasn't been a porn quest for a long while now. That's basically an objective fact, and I don't see how stating that fact - to the one person that still doesn't understand this and is heavily pushing for lewds even when they're not appropriate - is me making any sort of false declarations.

So how many paragraphs did you write in the quest tryong to justify your flub of confusing a character saying "im great" with an assertion of moral sturdiness before coming in here to accuse somebody else of 'taking the quest too seriously?'

This specific kind of unsightly pixels is not so much a matter of resolution, and more a matter of the Fill tool not working well with antialiased lines. In a multilayered image editor lie Photoshop or Gimp, there are mitigation techniques against this, some more time-consuming than others.

>>116974
Thanks for the tips. I've gotten a few more suggestions in this vein and so I'll work on painting more, filling less in future while using Krita.

>>116992
With an editor like Gimp, you *can* fill, but must use slower techniques than simply relying on the floodfill tool.

1) The first thing to know is to use two (or more) layers: A lineart layer (which you set to "multiply" if it's not transparent) and a color layer.

2) Then, the "cheap" method is simply to use a "select from colors" tool with a high enough tolerance (ideally, just high enough not to go through the lines altogether). Just use the high-tolerance "select from colors" on the lineart layer, switch to the color layer, use "fill the current selection" with the desired color, switch to the lineart layer again, repeat.

3) The "expensive" method involves using the lasso tool to carefully select the surface you want to color by licking along the lines (through the middle of the lines really), to build a selection before filling it with the desired color.

3.5) you can even make the "artistic" choice of not lassoing exactly along the lines, making an "approximate" coloring that will still look better than the current look.

If you post the lineart and if I can find the time, I may provide examples.

Ooooor you can do the lazy thing and use a binary brush so that the fill tool works fine with few corrections needed.

>>116592
Yeah, I guess you're right.

>>116943
My apologies it wasn't actually referring to your post in question, but a now deleted post that basically was "I failed this quest".

>>116943
Yes! on the horizon, a great speeping can be heard.

>>116881
I agree, the emotional moments are very nice. The whole quest benefits a lot from how well we get to know the characters. The sex scenes are great too, partially for the same reason (and partially for more obvious reasons); we've always gotten a good look at Ceridwen's own feelings about them, which does a great job of making them feel authentic. The first scene between Ceri and Skif with them discovering their sexuality for the first time together was wonderful.

It was disappointing that the current thread ended before Ceri got together with Skif again. She's been looking forward to it for quite a while and it would have been the first wholly positive sexual experience she's had all day. It's entirely understandable why the author wanted to end the thread when he did, but when Dragon Romance comes back I hope we get to go through that scene (Thread 5.5?) rather than skipping over it.

On the subject of potential reluctance around sexual things in the future, it's true that it's a central part of the quest that isn't supposed to be a "trap option", and I personally hope it doesn't go away. However, for people to feel safe with sexual choices, the choices have to be safe. Whenever it causes problems, it was because it was offered at the expense of something very important to Ceri. It's understandable for there to be some concern with the ways Ceri's own libido has hurt her or the number of otherwise important things she's disregarded for sex. If the in-story logic doesn't imply there will be any danger (i.e. not just meta knowledge that apparent dangers aren't "really" there) then this won't be a problem, but a broken promise of safety will just put people on edge again.

>>116830
Well of course there's more. We've gotta find someone to be Grif so we can play Grif Ball! XD

But seriously, yeah, I'm sure there's more to this than we're being told.

Good job, Heretic. You surprised me!

Not once did I even think we would be switching characters. I thought we would be sticking with Roland and his group as they made their way from the closest location, Ender Port, to New Olmec.

But, no! You surprised me by switching characters! And made it even more surprising by giving us control of Flint! I did not see that coming at all! Very good job!

Okay so let me sum up the current situation:

The Church controls most of the public authority and thus has easy access to resources that would let them find a lot of Azerite really quickly.
The Pagans just lost all their bases. Every single one. Now they have no resources.
Priests are a hard counter to Pagans because they can dispel demons.
High Priests are so powerful the protagonist has no chance of winning in a fight against one, even with the help we have. Also we just lost access to our ability to upgrade summons.
We can't even tell the Pagan network about the game because it just got dismantled.

We lost the second it started. The Church got to their Azerite door first, spent years gathering intel, and just waited there for the pagans to activate theirs so that the game could begin. Heck, I bet the Church knew Gallows had the Azerite and LET him have it. Heck, considering this move requires a shitload of prior preparation they probably have like half the azerite they need already.

>>116800
I don't feel like having Aether Scan has been a big enough problem for me yet. If it does then I'll do something about it.

>>116823
All pagan soldiers act on the command of head pagans like Flint and the head pagans act on orders given by the Bosses who we haven't met yet. Pagan's have different types depending on how they use their magic: Summoners summon demons, Threshers focus on more physical fighting, and Evokers focus on using magic. from there they're assigned classes depending on what their best at ranging from from scouts to spies to foot soldiers,

>>116912
15 bases is a lot but not all of them, only 3 where big the others were probably about as big as the Breakroom in Ender Port. maybe a large amount in the eastern part of the world but not in the whole world. There a still pagans left. Even with a lot of pagans being dead or captured plenty of other people hate the church.

When did you lose access to your ability to upgrade demons ? Even if Flint does die there are plenty of other strong summoners that can preform the ritual.

The Church didn't get to their door first. You got there around the same time they did. This move on the pagan bases isn't directly tied to the game starting.

>>116913
>plenty of other people hate the church.
A really good example is the Unter, Ada, and their Arcamagika!

We already know of the machine in Ada's shop that hides magical signatures, so it would make sense that the Unter would also have this. So if we could find the Unter and convince them to help, the we'd have an entire city as a safe haven for Pagans and anyone that hates the Church!

Also, there was no mention of a rule that says that we can't steal Azurite from the enemy's base! If we could figure out where the Church's door is, then we could steal their Azurite!

Tonight I'm feeling a bit drained. The update should roll out tomorrow, however!

>>116829

I'm not so sure. Large hives seem like they get unemotional because the emotions produced by any one or small set of local bodies gets dispersed among the rest of the hive until it's spread too thin to have a tangible effect. But it is possible for huge legions of people to "fall in love" with, say, a famous celebrity, or a particular political leader. Skuts on the Other Side seem like they kept to themselves, didn't really send huge amounts of themselves to the movies, and in any case they didn't seem to have the same giant sparkly media mill over there that exists on earth. So, if a skut hive let large amounts of its bodies consume film and tv and magazines and so on, and someone like Zack was a big enough celebrity that they could all get a figurative piece of him that way, maybe a huge hive could still be in love with him. If you had a large enough amount of your bodies "generating" loving feelings, then you'd have enough love sloshing around that splitting it among all your bodies wouldn't be able to dilute it enough any more.

Aside everything about him as an individual, which I'd like your opinion on, I'm also wondering if you actually have anything like bards. I assume you have entertainers, of course, but "bard" generally implies a higher-class professional traveling performer, educated in history and poetry (and in this case, magic) as well as songs, stories and tricks. Someone who kind of straddles social boundaries, too, who can charm and chat with a peasant or a noble with equal comfort.

So, stripes are possible, but rare to happen naturally. How about unnaturally? Did tribal belenosians have access to dyes that they used on their fur, either for the "look less like a belenosian to robots" thing you mention, or just for some personal cosmetic reason? How about modern belenosians, are there people who take dye baths for a particular colour they like, or even to give themselves some kind of patterning? Or, given it's the future, are there more advanced cosmetic treatments, like something that changes the pigment your follicles produce? Is cosmetics generally advanced for belenosians?

Steroids to build muscle are available, and you were asked about male supplements before. Is cosmetic surgery still surgery, or are there more gentle methods, like using nanobots to alter bone structure instead of having to cut open and work at it that way, applying a local hormone treatment for increased bust size instead of implants, or triggering some growth effect to get taller instead of having to break your legs and stretch them the old-fashioned way? Is it possible for unwise people to try self-administer such things and make mistakes, like with the male enhancement? I imagine ladies who end up with too much in the front could just get a reduction, but are there some people out there who've ended up too tall, with oversized hips or shoulders or extra horns or too-long tails, from trying to correct what they saw as deficient?

Gallows: I am dressed up!

Troy: You put sunglasses on, that's not dressed up Gal.
