Chaos looks directly at the camera and the world stops for the briefest of moments. She looks at the bucket filled with souls and then back at the camera again before smiling a terrifying lovely smile that only a creature of pure evil an attractive timeless void of a woman could.

The screen fades to black, and your sight into the world above is gone. Instead, you’re back in your… body, no, body is not the right word. Bodies? No, still wrong, Karmic shells? That fits more. You look around, it’s practically a sea of other karmalings, of other spirits like yourself. Sapient, awake, barely at the cusp of beginning your karmic journey. But before you can think of addressing anyone near you a silence surrounds everyone and you see a strange purple creature, no the purple GUARDIAN speak to the crowd. Their voice echoes throughout the endless void you find yourselves in.

> Available Actions: https://questden.org/wiki/Suchesstion

Wonder if they're listening to our thoughts...
Willow REPOSITIONS to an adjacent zone because the current one is full and MOVES to C1, next to the sleeping hatchetman.

Free action: REPOSITION (or would that be PREPARE to go?) to the tile where WILLOW was (A4) after WILLOW leaves.
Full action: DO inspect the pyramid(?) at (A1)

0Plasm: Hmm... What's this?

*pokes pyramid at the tile adjacent to them, and looks for anything of interest*

Donut’s full action: WORSHIP the pyramid in A1, which is adjacent to Donut. Donut will become aligned to the first GOD or GUEST to grant a boon to Donut.

Free action: Declare Donut on a holy crusade (objective undetermined) and allow the aligned GOD or GUEST to ADVANCE Donut in whatever direction they want.

That is a less customization than I was expecting. Pony name will do.

Looks like I'm the current front line.
I'm not sure how movements count in the action economy. If possible I would like to move one square down from A9 to D3 and trow rocks at kblin 03.

>>1047822
[LUST]: As a reward for not listening to the 6 character/digit rule for names your name is now Flashr
[LOGIC]: You don't need to fight my battles for me...
[LUST]: Babe, doll, shut up, accept the help, you already made a typo
[LOGIC]: ... thanks
[WILD]: Can I turn the next rule breaker into an animal?
[LOGIC]: No, they'll probably like that actually
[WILD]: Ah, furries, right?

Ok

>>1047809
...uh...
You misnamed every 8th tile as '6'. Also please use the acute version of 7.

GUH these instructions are confusing, please add some manuals in the art section of the wiki! I'm going to set up a priority list.


1) Free Action: Advance (Move) East to B5. Full Action: Use Wood to create Zone-wide Barricade.
2) Free Action: Advance (Move) East to B5. Full Action: Collect Wood.
3) Free Action: Reposition to B4. Full Action: Collect Crystal on B1.
4) Free Action: Reposition to B5: Full Action: Collect Wood.


...Am I supposed to bring this back to base, or can I construct something with this?

Well, I suppose I'll try to do my best with my little action economy.
I hope I can move through friendly pawns or this will get akward...

ADVANCE to B1 for my free action.
STORE these sticks(?) on the ground.

Not sure what I'm supposed to do with them though...

>>1047840
Wait, scratch that, I just realized that REPOSITION addresses that issue.
Changing my Free Action to be...
REPOSITION to B1.

>>1047834
I mean, CHAOS could have made it so that anyone that's on the 6th space is actually in a state of quantum superposition between the two.

Wake up swrd1, there are kblins about.

What is the [DESIGN] of the swords from your dreams?

Could you fashion one from the nearby logs?

This name should be fine.
ADVANCE to B2
STORE wood.

ADVANCE to D3
COLLECT the stones

I'm not sure how useful these resources will be but it seems like a good idea to get prepared.

Forced to be bound by rules? What utter nonsensical hogwash. Why on Earth...

>Players have to agree, suggestors do not have to
>Suggestors influence AIs or non-players
>16. All creatures encountered on the battlefield are there of their own free will or are serving sentences for crimes against [KARMA]

...
Huh, so AIs = red? Who might have been villains? So helping non-blue villains would give greater operational effectiveness?
...
Oh very well, few bits of strategic tips out of the vast library shall be provided. Got nothing but disdain for rules, however should it prove pragmatic to have ID, will use SVilHQ.

Looks tutorial-ish. With fresh hostile forces spawning every round, defeat is practically assured. Without that it's still 9 to 4 units. 18 HP to 6 HP. Were this a larger scale, fighting retreat would be the tactic to utilize. With what it is, goal is to maximize how pyhrric the hostile triumph is.

Greatest weapon here would be... propaganda directed at the hostile force.
1) Fresh reminder that your goal is to have this be quite fun to see. How dull is a stomping? How exciting is mass defections? Huge plot twists!
2) 3 of these guys are unarmed dancers. Playing like kids. Slaughtering poor helpless little guys. Oh what heroes. Follow up with stealing purses of grannies.

Kblin 4 should go to I3 to get stuff. While there, warn the 3 of blue baby-killers.

Lake in G9 and H7, I suggest you start a flash flood and try flooding one or more of the adjacent tiles.
You may need to read https://questden.org/wiki/Suchesstion and agree to the terms of services too before doing anything? I'm not sure how that work, just try your best!

Are players waiting in the queue able to suggest things?

If it is possible to do both I would like to also enter the queue as "Coda". My ID may change sometime and [I AGREE TO THE TERMS OF SERVICE].

FREE ACTION: ADVANCE two spaces down to D1 to where the boulder is at (the pawn can fit there, visual aid as proof!)

FULL ACTION: PREPARE to lift the boulder and move it aside if someone moves to A7, A8, D1, D2, D4, or D5 agrees to help lift the heavy boulder. Otherwise, inspect it or try to lift it themself if nobody wants to help ( :( )

0Plasm: Umm... May I please get some help lifting this please?
0Plasm: Donut? Flashr? Tilde?
0Plasm: I'm [CURIOUS] to see what is underneath this. But, uh... it looks heavy I think.

Donut, receiving divine guidance, assumes the BOON he’s been granted is simply DIVINE PURPOSE and nothing more.

Donut’s crusade is to PUNISH kblin04, but the god was not specific about the appropriate punishment for dimensional homicide and karmic tax evasion. Therefore, judging not lest ye be judged, Donut will simply incapacitate kblin04 and let the universe sort things out.

Also, Donut has no weapons and only has two hearts to kblin04’s three, so fighting head-on is pretty risky. So incapacitation is the best bet from all perspectives. Perhaps if he digs a pit and sets a trap, he can bait kblin04 into it.

Free action: Donut ADVANCES two squares south to D2, searching for tools he can use to dig a hole.

Full action: Donut ASSISTS 0Plasm’s efforts in lifting the boulder, hoping there is something useful for digging underneath.

I want to trow more rocks at kblin 03 and reposition to D2.

>>1047892
Sorry, I'm in the middle of something.

Ah, so you must fight if you wish to win your sword.

Swrd1 please ADVANCE and ATTACK kblin 02.
Many of these new karmalings are still crafting their weapons.

Perhaps they will make you a SWORD if you PROTECT them.

Willow turns and watches the NPC walk past her. "Hey..! Okay, fine then. Why not make more than one sword while you're at it?" I call dibs on the axe...

While she's in the area, Willow ADVANCES to C3 and STORES some of that mysterious dark fluid.

SETVAL
The form autofill is annoying so I'm just gonna do it this way instead.

>>1047886
REPOSITION to B9
DO violence upon kblin02 with pointy stick.

(Hmm, I wonder...)
kblin 05, I must say, that was such a lovely dance! Can you dance again as a full action in exchange for all of the karma I currently possess as of saying this?

Indeed, all zero of it.

REPOSITION to B7.
USE adjacent stoned to attempt to whittle pointy sticks into wooden stakes.
These guys pretty much harvest life force, right? Let's see if I can go vampire hunter on them.
I do hope I'm capable of doing this, otherwise I'll just STORE the stones instead.

Belief: Sorry 0Plasm, but looks like we're preoccupied with the kblins right now, try using a bit of leverage!

Free Action: Advance to E2
Full Action: Execute Melee Strike Kblin02 or Kblin03
(If both kblins are already dead, Prepare Melee Counter against kblin05)

"We fight as one, swordsman!"

ADVANCE to A2

Feed stones to Dimensional Anchor


Unsure what else these are good for, so I might as well see what this does.

Carpe diem

>>1047905
If you can find/make a SWORD for Swrd1, I imagine that they would trade their AXE for it in an instant.

Heh. Strategic rule, defeat of hostiles is good but conversion is VERY gud.
So based off of Swrd1's [Personality] he's got a weakness. Here's kblin propaganda directed to Swrd1.
Oh Swrd1! Look at that blade the guy to the left of you has! He has the closest thing here to a sword! He's disallowed to drop it too. Plus you might prove yourself by fighting him for the blade! Help the kblins rather than the blues. With them you will have no shortage of ways to prove yourself.

Do it Swrd1, get that blade.

>>1047970
Thus begins the battle of wills.

Do not listen Swrd1, ATTACK kblin 02, not the Karmalings.

The 'blade' spoken of is tiny and sharp, it is not the SWORD of your dreams. You will find your heart's desire, but it willed be EARNED, not STOLEN.

>>1047964
Swrd1 is the one with the woodcutting tool and the wood, we are the logical choice to be making swords here.

Swrd1, I suggest you disregard the orders of those trying to use you as a pawn and try instead to follow your dream and desires.

I mean, I don't think Swrd1 can respawn, unlike us. I don't like the idea of manipulating them into dying for either side.

>>1048033
A fair point.

I apologize Swrd1, please disregard why I (and others) have said and just pursue your dreams. Find you sword.
Ideally without murdering the Karmalings, please.

>>1048033
Oh, how selfless. Just one problem for you there.
Pretty sure that goes for the kblins too. So will you let them die?

Will you follow the hypocritical path, destroying their lives at the behest of these beings that call themselves gods?
Will you follow that logic to the end, let yourself be martyred for the cause of life? Will you have your team follow in your footsteps to the defeat of your side? Will you stop them by force?
Will you sit idly by as your team mocks your ideals through slaughter of life?

We'll see just how well you stand by your selfless ideals. Do you have the strategic will?

>>1048045
Personally, after going over all this, I don't really care for the discourse (though I'd like to simply point at Rule 16 and leave it at that) - I'm just wondering what your game here is, "SVilHQ." You never opted in as a [PLAYER] and your ID is different in every post, despite you having a name with which to identify yourself as though you were a [PLAYER]; it's almost like you're an intruder here that doesn't want to be caught. This makes sense, as despite there being no hard rule forbidding one from acting against the [PLAYER] and [GOD] factions (or influencing an NPC into doing so), you probably aren't in their good graces at this point, and not technically being a [PLAYER] doesn't necessarily make you safe from their ire.

In short, I believe you are being disingenuous with your "advice" to some degree, and I don't know if suggesting in bad faith is allowed in practice, even if it is not expressly forbidden on paper.

GLORIOUS SHOVEL OF JUSTICE! Great for burying criminals.

Looks like the javelins are at least range 3, so Donut will:

FREE ACTION: Pick up the Karma Beetles

FULL ACTION: Move to G4.

Belief: I appreciate the sentiment [HOPE]. And the wordplay...
[b]ADVANCE to E6.
Belief: Turn that despair into fury swordsman! Avenge our fallen ally!
DO throw a stake at kblin 4.

First you guys wake up the guy with the axe, now this thing turns out to be the enemy base. Ugh. Whatever. I'm gonna keep futzing with formatting until it does something.
Willow MOVES to F2 and inspects the tree, too out of breath from moving an extra tile to accomplish anything yet.

Setval
(it's not serval, it's short for set value)

USE: butcher the corpse, see what materials I can get out of it. More essence?

0Plasm: Thanks Donut.
0Plasm: I think I'll gather some worms now... maybe call one Squirmo...
0Plasm: If only I had a fishing rod now, then I can fish in that lake in ZONE G
0Plasm: maybe I can craft one at the log in ZONE B?
0Plasm: But there is that weird mountain with that marking in D7 to inspect... hmmm...

0Plasm notices Flashr near the mountain

0Plasm: Flashr, are you planning on inspecting that cliff? if you're not, I'll do it. Otherwise, I'll go craft a fishing rod.

IF Flashr DOES INSPECT D7

Bonus Free Action: STORE Worms
Full Action: MOVE to B5, catch breath to prepare to craft a fishing rod from the log

IF Flashr DOESN'T INSPECT D7

Bonus Free Action: STORE Worms
Free Action: ADVANCE one tile down (D4)
Full Action: DO Inspect the cliff at D7, specifically that marking

Ow.
I earned Karma, so I'm not fuming yet.
... I don't need this barricade, can I drop it in Limbo and let some other player spawn with it? Maybe I'll feed it to the anchor.
Well, if anyone has recommendations on where to place a barrier, go ahead.

[swrd1, Move to H6 and then Advance to G5! Make the karmaling panic! You've got this!]

... Oh look, video games in Limbo.

>>1048085
[LOGIC]: You very much can give away the barricade, as long as someone is at the anchor and you approve they can take it, or someone can spawn with it, so long as you explicitly give it to them.

>>1048085
Actually, the barricade would be very helpful about now, what with the fact I just entered Javelin throwing range of kblin 04.
Maybe give it to swrd1? If he's going to close the distance maybe he can use the barricade offensively to block the kblin in.

>>1048051
Presumptions. Look at the situation here, "Detective". While those here of their free will are perhaps fine, who uses criminals as pawns, dying for laughs? Even guilty villains have rights. Just as those charged with criminal behavior get defense council, here that equal should be strategic council. Here at this trial by fire.
Per the bit of ire? Fighting for a worthwhile cause does often gain ire from the powerful. Select your side VERY carefully Detective.
Seriously though, just figured this was a legit role based off the rules. Particularly that bit regarding AIs. Were specified as separate from NPCs. Fire Emblem logic says NPCs=green hostile AIs=red. Perhaps overthought that deal. Had no desire to be a player so figured this was the way to go. Sorry if this caused problems. Would have left if asked to.

>>1048070
>Kblin04: No… flee… must…
Do it if you have a way to. Warn your fellows. Gather forces. Strategically ready yourselves for warfare. Should you wish to survive the onslaught of the blue tide.
Hopefully they'll be ready for the blue campaign of genocide.

This is the cooler panty I ever see. Would it produce a heart shape bulge if I wear?

>>1048084
Flashr: I can do that.
I will reposition to D8 and inspect the D7 rock formation.

Well, I suppose this sequence will depend on a number of factors, but I will try to be concise:

If I am selected to be a [PLAYER] and have been provided the barricade by kome:
>>1048085
I would appreciate using the barricade, if that would be alright.
- Free Action: SPAWN in A9.
- Free Action: ADVANCE to E5.
- Full Action: PREPARE to DEPLOY the barricade if;
- - Condition: 'kblin04' throws a javelin in Door's direction.
- Free Action: "Get behind me, if you need some cover!"

____________________________

If kome does not wish to part with the barricade:
- Free Action: SPAWN in A6.
- Free Action: ADVANCE to B5.
- Full Action: Build a barricade from the wood available.
- Free Action: "Careful, it looks like it might be trying to run!"

____________________________

If an not selected to be a [PLAYER]:
I'm sorry Swrd1, you will have to mourn your new friend at a later point.
Try to find cover while getting closer to kblin04. Maybe F9 could work?

____________________________


Also, if we are making OBSERVATIONS, then I think this is a notable one:
- We have seen kblin02 to kblin05. Where is kblin01?

>>1048096
Sorry for the rather accusatory tone; I had observed several quests where there was a "fake" suggestor plant working against the protagonist's best interests, and I had suspected you of being one. I've been assured that this is not the case here by multiple parties now.

Hmm... Honestly, if that is your proclivity, I cannot argue with it. But I have already picked a side by giving my consent, so I'm afraid we are enemies. Death and conflict are truths of the karmic cycle, for what it's worth; I'm not sure even the [GODS] can overturn it if they wanted.

I don't mind the jab at my proclaimed occupation, either; while I think I would enjoy solving more concrete mysteries in life with more concrete methods... I've decided that, when I'm here between lives, faced with no mysteries but those pertaining to the nature of the multiverse and the powers that govern it, I'm content with taking a more "holistic" approach by just going with the flow and seeing what answers I stumble upon. As a consequence, I have yet to actually develop a more traditional deductive process, being as new to the whole cycle as you are.

>>1048070
Hmm. That's unfortunate. Even if I am against the kblins, I would have liked for kblin 05 to have gone out doing what they loved. Considering that all suggestors seem to have at least some influence on any NPC (if the notifications about the hostile suggestors are any indication), am I right to conclude that its base prerogative as a kblin simply overrode its proclivity for dance?

>>1048103
Take it.

>>1047878
I, err, I know you are busy, being a [GOD] and all, but, about that flash flood? (>>1047877)
I don't mind receiving a "No", I just want to know if I should continue trying to give SUGGESTIONS to the landscape.

>>1048045
It's not about if Swrd1 lives or die, although I would prefer for them to live. It's more about about giving orders rather than advices to NPCs. Trying to give them suggestions that will further your goals rather than theirs, getting them killed in the process. Just like how you think what happens to the kblins is unfair, I don't like the idea of depriving the neutral players of their free will to use them as pawns. Unless they want to, of course.
(oh, and I don't know what strategic will is)

ZONE E, I suggest you drink the essence and vital fluids of all the fallen and start sprouting bewildering, colorful flowers.

>>1048118
[LOGIC]: Suggestions to the landscape are acceptable
[LOGIC]: The suggestion for a FLASH FLOOD is too drastic of a change though
[LOGIC]: Starting smaller like absorbing the essence to create flowers is an acceptable first step.

>>1048070
SPAWN A7
Assimilate/eat/equip worm and stag beetle to make them part of me

>>1048198
YES FUNALLY I AM FREE those blessed with a second chance only delayed my emergance i will FEAST and brush my teeth

ADVANCE to A3

COLLECT the wood I can see in B1

I'm not sure what feeding the Anchor does, but I'm going all the way with it.

Hey yo

I'm considering sitting the next round out but for now I want to collect resources.
Though, quick question, if I sit the round out is my respawn still delayed by the items I have?

>>1048434
Hmm, it would appear that certain people tend to favor certain gods.
I wonder if that's because the gods are trying to get apostles, or rather having their antics constantly on display leads some to have favorites.
Unfortunately, I am still uncertain where I stand with these gods, and will need more time to fully understand them and their personalities.
I hope, however, that I can find a purpose in this game, whether it be as an apostle, or an ambition of my own.
Ambition...

I have a question for all other Karmalings.
What is your ambition?
Kome wished to rewrite the rules of death, Hunger wishes to consume, Donut is going on a holy crusade.
For now, my wish is to see these Karmalings come into their own. As such, they first step of that is recognizing your ambition.
What do you wish for?

Suggestion: swrd1 [STORE] EXIT SIGN from I6.

By the way, can anyone on the suCHESSboard hear this?
And can anyone on the suCHESSboard hear this?

Karma worm in D1, I suggest you burrow up and down through the ground in your tile and turn it into fertile soil.

If all-powerful bored deities could take criticism, I'd yap more often.

Anyways...
To all remaining players: you have an opportunity to build infrastructure. Make some roads and barricades so we get the drop on future spawning enemies.

Very puzzling. With great questions why elect ignorance? Why forgo skill to deduce truth now? When used properly it's a skill of great worthiness.

What you say of the cycle is without evidence. Quite fortunate. Were that true, what hope exists?

He had free will despite what you believed.
Here your side's will is to wipe out kblins. Swrd1's was to earn his sword. His god, [WILD] prohibited doing so via crafting. With violence his path, he would do so by helping one side. Either way he might die. Either way he'd be a pawn of a side. Of course you might question prohibiting crafting though that would put you at odds with one of the ones who ordered you to kill kblins...
Still, should your free will have you follow orders of authority blindly that is your will. Only power over you is the power of words. Draw your own conclusions now that you have facts.



So the battle ends. Suggest you evacuate Swrd1, he does not have to die.

> LOGIC
Question: I assume the limits on the spawn cue are still in effect, despite the round being over? (If not, I'm gonna just pop in, MOVE to the tree in Zone F, and STORE a fruit.)

I would be remiss not to PURCHASE AN UPGRADE, either way. Though I'd hazard a guess that I'm jumping the gun by one update or so.

>>1048448
Hmm. I'm honestly not sure. Perhaps I feel unready to tackle the sorts of questions that would pertain to the cosmic realm directly. Perhaps even trying to practice deductive reasoning in such a space that is primarily governed (in part) by [CHAOS] is... naught but nonsense.

It is what it is. I've just come into existence, and I don't know why I know what I know. Another question that is without an answer, for now, and that's fine; I believe I have all the time in the multiverse to find it, after all. Let my living, unaware self worry about solving on a schedule.

Now, unless you're just being contrary for its own sake, I don't believe either of us has a reason to continue this conversation - not while a [GOD] is asking us to stop, anyway, so at the very least this will be my final word to you for the immediate future. Whatever is unresolved between us can be addressed later; we aren't going anywhere, after all.

>>1048438
Oh, hello! Well, [CURIOSITY] is what drives me. I love looking for answers, though simply pondering the questions might be even more fun! Of course, as I said earlier, my avenues for pursuing either of those are rather limited at the moment; I don't mind simply abiding in the meantime.

> LUST
Meanwhile, a [SMOOCH] is tempting - I have a feeling that such as given by the Goddess of [LUST] is something a bit more than a standard physical act of affection. Maybe it can even be [CURRENCY], like [KARMA] seems to be?

... Ah, what the hey; I don't mind dropping to the bottom of the queue again. I'll stockpile resources while I wait for everyone else to find their niche.

> PEACE
Hmm? I for one thought I was being quite polite, given the circumstances. Although I suppose the standards of a [GOD] of [PEACE] would be understandably higher... assuming that wasn't all directed at the [HOSTILE] Suggestors, of course.

Cor, look at me, engaging a [GOD] in direct conversation. Now that I'm on the bottom of the queue again and have not much better to do but enjoy your company, I'm [CURIOUS]: Which [CONCEPTS] govern the conceptual hierarchy in the multiverse you're visiting from? Of course, you don't have to answer that if you don't want to. I couldn't possibly force an issue against [PEACE] itself, after all.

kblin04 escaped?! No! I must pursue!

The plan was to dig a hole and lure the criminal into it, which doesn’t work very well when they have a ranged weapon. So in the future, I’ll need to have something very worthwhile to lure them into a trap, or have prepared it beforehand.

Or I could simply coordinate with another karmaling and have them push the criminal into the pit. That sounds a lot easier.

Regardless, Donut will dig a TRAP in square H4 that will collapse and flood the hole with water if anyone steps in it. Let’s see you escape THEN!

Also have some art of best guest and her comrades.

I should probably arm myself too, like everyone else seems to be.
Willow and her stylish new hat LOOT the fruit and move to the kblins' shelter to LOOT that too.

For a smooch? Sure, I'll take that offer!

I lack teeth, i lack bite, i lack a tongue yet i speak omnipresent, i lack a mouth or is it a eye that lacks a pupil but yet i see beings of more dimensions, i am one and nothing a single cell, NO a mere quark of billions that would form my whole body, Hunger is real kblins and fruit shows its existance of gaining from sustinance but does hunger exist there is no starvation to spur you on, why does lust exist without meaning when there is no reproduction only death and recreation a endless limbo of waiting in the line where i never was, the not even nothing of nothing i have nothing no mouth yet i screamed.
I desire, i desire to be large to not be trapped too reach the sky that does not exist

>pick up beetle if i can, then move too
>E5 and sniff the roses caress the torns gently and let beetle interact with a flower

Well, if others are willing to step back, I would be excited to take up a spot on the board.

- Free Action: SPAWN in A9 with the [Barricade] in the inventory.
- Free Action: ADVANCE to F1 (due to the lack of movement restrictions this round)
- Full Action: Doors will attempt to pull free and STORE a fresh, [Flexible Branch].
- - "I am sorry for damaging you, if there is something I can [DO] to make up for it, please let me know."
- *Also waves at Swrd1;
- - "Thank you for your help!"

As for ambitions?
I am not sure... perhaps to build? But I will need something to use to defend myself first.

A question for Logic, seeing as he is running this operation;
- "Are we going to be staying here for the kblin counter-assault or will we be MOVEing to a new [MAP]?

> THE MERCHANT ARRIVES
A flash of light fills the entirety of zone C for a few moments before it fades, leaving behind a BEING in a mask, they look humanoid. Their arms are covered in tattoos of various tentacled beasts, and they’ve got a satchel by their feet.

[???]: WELL WELL WELL, LOOK AT THESE CHUMPS
[???]: Hi, I’m [REDACTED]!
[CURIOSITY]: WHAT?! I can't even use my name here!
[CURIOSITY]: Hmm, what about this, I’m here to [SELL YOU STUFF]
[CURIOSITY]: Okay, that works, now I’ll just fudge some things here, mess with a sign there…

The being pulls out a massive neon light sign that reads as [<’S CURIOSITIES]

[CURIOSITY]: I can neither confirm nor deny that my name is in that sign
[CURIOSITY]: But I CAN confirm that I’m here to sell you my CURIOSITIES!
[CURIOSITY]: But what do I have?
[CURIOSITY]: I have EVERYTHING on sale
[CURIOSITY]: Including discounted better reincarnation packages
[CURIOSITY]: Or even TRAVEL PACKAGES if you want to uh…
[CURIOSITY]: Jump ship, though you gotta get one of the [GODS] to take you in
[CURIOSITY]: You just have to tell me what you want and I can get it
[CURIOSITY]: 1 KARMA for anything BASIC
[CURIOSITY]: 1 KARMA for UPGRADES
[CURIOSITY]: 1 KARMA for SPECIFIC MODIFICATIONS
[CURIOSITY]: And cause the other lame brains aren’t listening I’ll be… flexible
[CURIOSITY]: Though the more COMPLEX or OVERPOWERED, the more expensive it’ll be
[CURIOSITY]: I’m here to make MAD PROFITS after all!
[CURIOSITY]: Though I MAY be willing to offer you discounts if you give me some…
[CURIOSITY]: INFORMATION, maybe about your favorite [REDACTED]?
[CURIOSITY]: Hmmm, favorite [REDACTED]? No, What about [NPC’s]
[CURIOSITY]: Ooooh that wasn’t filtered!
[CURIOSITY]: Yeah your favorite [NPCs] from you know what!
[CURIOSITY]: It’s gotta be juicy goss tho, something to make me want to [WATCH] them
[CURIOSITY]: After all, [VOYEURISM] and [SUGGESTION] are [REDACTED]!
[CURIOSITY]: Chaos yer killing me here!
[CURIOSITY]: And I’m a SELLER not A BUYER, I ain’t buying yer goopy twigs
[CURIOSITY]: Yadda yadda, gimme your Karma!

> What do you buy?

Hmm... Okay. I think... HmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMM- I like [PEACE]. They didn't really leave a strong impression on me, which makes sense given they're [PEACE], but I kinda have a conceptual bias for the guy.

Speaking of...

- Why hello there, [PEACE]. I'm curious; what's your multiverse like, in terms of ruling concepts?

I think it's important that I "submit a ticket" for that, since the answer may determine whether I want to do that "jumping ship" thing you mentioned. After all, a multiverse where [WRATH] or one of its cousins rules and [PEACE] is some twisted [ANATHEMA] wouldn't be any more fun than this one.

How much would "a buff whose potency depends on how many turns I spend in Limbo" cost? Given I've decided I'm partial to non-violence, maybe something defensive or supportive?

Thinking: I wonder if any of these purchases are valid: https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/1002288.html#1002703
If so, I think the majority of us can only buy the ones that cost 1-2 karma points... unless it's possible for one of us were to gift one of our teammates their karma points, or give him gossip which I feel uncomfortable doing right now... Don't need him stalking anyone.

Thinking: I want an INNATE SKILL, but it costs 3 and I only have 2 right now... I think I'll wait until I get another point before I shop, or if I can think of something to gossip about...

Thinking: And I know who that is, that is [STEVE], or as one universe called him, the [TENTACLED IRIS] though that was because those who saw him only saw his mask, and tattoos of tentacles on his arms... but if saying his name is redacted here, maybe it's something I shouldn't know about and should be kept quiet or else I might get struck down by the gods for knowing too much... though the gods are not listening in right now... hmmm...

0Plasm: Thanks [ST]- er... [CURIOSITY], but I think I'll save my points for now... Unless I can think of something to gossip to you about before the UPDATE is over...
0Plasm: I want to get an Innate skill, but last I checked, it was 3 points,
0Plasm: And I don't think I have enough for that yet at 2 Karmas, unless I'm wrong and it's actually 1-2 KARMA points?

>>1048907
Well... If we're talking about things we shouldn't know, and could possibly cause trouble if we did know for more reasons than one...
Belief: How much would it cost to buy dimensional coordinates?

And while I would want to wait and see what other people but rather than using up my karma, I do wanna see whether I can do something like this.
Belief: I would like to buy an ability.
Belief: Devilish Temptation: My words, requests, and suggestions are more tempting than usual, NPCs are more inclined to do as I say or take my side.

>>1048838
>>1048839
swrd1 is vulnerable. To my limited knowledge [NPC]s cannot respawn as [PLAYER]s can. I wish to spend my 1 Karma on [ARMOR] for swrd1.

>>1048925
This is Bf9b7c. My ID changes sometimes. Let me know if a tripcode is preferred.

Full action for Donut: dig another TRAP in H1, but rig it so that setting it off won't collapse the dam in H4 or spring the trap in H4 either.

However, setting off H4 will also set off H1, turning the entire two-square area into a flooded double trap.

I'd like to spend enough KARMA to have a shield to make me immune to ranged attacks, if possible!

I don’t know what, actually… uh, Lust? She reminds me of somebunny… don’t remember who. I just remember their dark eyes. I think they had a sister?
Well, I suppose I'd better head back in prepared. Everyone else has been arming themselves, so why not? I'd like to buy a bow with some ammunition, and an upgrade to let me move farther with free actions.

Setval

STORE another fruit.
ADVANCE to E2.

>>1048839
I think I will save my karma for now.

>>1048837
Wait what? I thought my spawn would take longer!
Sorry.

>1 Karma
*Deep Breath*
Looks like my chaos dagger absorbs karma. Fine.
I'll purchase... this.
[Interdimensional Shielding] Damage Threshold 1/2 Heart (Any attack that deals damage to the user is reduced in power by 1/2 Heart). If a successful attack would normally kill the user, Damage Threshold is increased to 2 Hearts, and this ability is disabled until the user recharges at the Dimensional Anchor or some Place of Power, or after four turns.
Next time, I'm buying a quick strike ability.

>What do
Harvest fruit from F8.

>swrd1
"Depends. Are you willing to risk your life regularly for a truly legendary blade gifted directly from the gods? As for us, we're here for their sport, you see. Don't worry about getting us killed - just worry that one of us might not care about your life either."

>move too zone F9 so i can reach the Kblin shelter and tree next turn

>for V or is it C the curiosity merchant "what do you offer for one karma? i would like to Sculpt/craft/weave with animated/alive or formerly alive/animated things? i would like to broaden my crafting in another direction, i would even be willing to give up normal crafting and my fruit from the tree, for it in exchange forever or until i can buy normal crafting back"

Donut YO do you want to keep that mud from the pit? or can i take it, i will possibly not eat it

>>1048925
I think I will follow suit as well. You can take my 1 Karma too for [ARMOR] that swrd1 can use. Hopefully 2 Karma (in total) will get them a good set.

As for gossip... I'm not sure if I have anything; Or at least nothing that I think would be [FAIR] to offer up.

For my actions I will:
- *Smiles.
-- "Take care now, Swrd1."
- Free Action: ADVANCE to D5 (assuming additional movement is still free, otherwise REPOSITION me to F9)
- Full Action: DO; I will try to WEAVE the longer grass into a [CORD] that I can USE to CRAFT my [FLEXIBLE BRANCH] into a [BOW].
- - (I am fine with just WEAVing the [CORD] if fully CRAFTING the [BOW] would take more than one Full Action)

Hey [CURIOSITY] do you know why our connection to the [GOD]s was cut?

>>1048839
Hello [CURIOSITY], I'm Coda, nice to meet you.
I see some [PLAYERS] want to buy abilities rather than items, is it possible? How much would the ability to strengthen people and things cost?
Anyway what I actually need right now is a watering can. I'm not sure how much 1 KARMA is worth, is it enough for a watering can that never runs out of water? If it's not I'll just buy the best watering can 1 KARMA can buy, please, already filled with water if possible.

Bonus Action : MOVE to F8
Full Action : pick the ripest fruit available
Free Action : go to E1 if movement is still unrestricted, else ADVANCE to E9

Divulging ambitions? Well, one can be publicly disclosed. Just a minor rule change regarding criminals. Ending coercion so criminals can still elect to join but without being forced. Persuaded with carrots not beaten with sticks. Would not have to be hostile without that issue. Quite FUN being one of the bad guys though. Well, perhaps bad is the wrong word seeing one of your leaders admit genocidal plans...

>>1048838
...Wait no karma usage? Why was that omitted?!? 5 hearts does not even out the disuse of the shop! Or other uses!

...Well. Guess that's +1 rule change. Job's harder but 'tis what the system is.

>>1048837
(He can leave freely without limitations? How? ...Forget how, what's important is that he leave. For his sake.)
Go. Prove yourself elsewhere. Dying on our behalf for our conflicts would be pointless. Fight for your sword where risking your life has value.

Oh, since people get to queue queries, have one for the quiet one, [HOPE]. What hope exists for the kblins? Or is it pure genocidal despair with zero hope?

Oh, where I5's tile?

>>1049112
[CURIOUSITY] seems open to dealing in information rather than [KARMA], maybe you can use that to barter.

I also agree that I hope Swrd1 doesn't need to fight anymore.

But that should be their choice, not yours.

>>1049112
((I don't think they can leave, I think it was more like "go somewhere else on the suchessboard"? Maybe to go see kome, if I had to guess. I don't know if it's the same for [NPCS] but [PLAYERS] need to buy a travel package to get out of here, and also a sponsor. Even kblin4 seems to have used some kind of item to get out of here.
If they can actually leave whenever they want, good for them, but I doubt [WILD] will grant them that sword if they do. And they want to get it, so going away is counterproductive to their goals at the moment.))

Coda turns toward swrd1.

"Say, Swordman, I was wondering, how did you get here? You were already here when we arrived. Did you too agreed to some kind of terms of service?"

[CURIOSITY]: Wow what a tease!
[CURIOSITY]: It’d be a range 6 bow, deals 1 damage, needs no ammo, it just fires the things

> Setval: I think I will save my karma for now.
[CURIOSITY]: Your loss!

> Kome: I want a very specific type of shield
[CURIOSITY]: I can only do one or the other for 1 karma each
[CURIOSITY]: If you want the ½ heart armor that’s 1 karma
[CURIOSITY]: If you want a life saving treasure that’s 1 karma
[CURIOSITY]: Both combined is 2
[CURIOSITY]: I might be amenable to reducing the price for some… hot goss
> Kome attempts to persuade swrd1 using an interesting line of thought
> Swrd1 seems contemplative

> Hunger: A lot of words, go read his post here >>1049022
[CURIOSITY]: … Okay I’ll sell you a knife of pure karma that will let you craft with corpses, sure
[CURIOSITY]: 1 Karma, though uh, the results might be weird
[CURIOSITY]: And uh, using it on non consenting players will likely get you uh yeah, just don't
[CURIOSITY]: But I am [CURIOUS] as to what you’re planning and want to enable it

> Doors has offered 1 KARMA to improve swrd1’s armor value
[CURIOSITY]: Sure, can do, please confirm your purchase
> Doors smiles at swrd1
> Doors: Take care now, Swrd1
Swrd1: … Young masters with money sure are different from the common folk
Swrd1: Thanks!
> Doors: Hey [CURIOSITY] do you know why our connection to the [GOD]s was cut?
[CURIOSITY]: *whistles a tune* oh, yknow, just anger management issues

> Coda: Hello [CURIOSITY], I'm Coda, nice to meet you.
> Coda: I see some [PLAYERS] want to buy abilities rather than items, is it possible?
> Coda: How much would the ability to strengthen people and things cost?
> Coda: Anyway what I actually need right now is a watering can.
> Coda: I'm not sure how much 1 KARMA is worth, is it enough for a watering can that never runs out of water?
> Coda: If it's not I'll just buy the best watering can 1 KARMA can buy, please, already filled with water if possible.
[CURIOSITY]: 1 Karma for an infinite watering can, can do, just confirm it

> Coda: Say, Swordman, I was wondering, how did you get here?
> Coda: You were already here when we arrived.
> Coda: Did you too agreed to some kind of terms of service?"
Swrd1: What do you mean in terms of service?
Swrd1: I was born here?
[CURIOSITY]: (Uh yeah, please don’t break the little guy)
[CURIOSITY]: (they’re natives so they don't know everything going on at present)
[CURIOSITY]: (basically this is just a [WORLD] they opted into being in for better karmic gains)
[CURIOSITY]: (not everyone keeps their old memories when passing over)

> SVilHQ says some things
[CURIOSITY]: OH this is the cardboard cutout guy
[CURIOSITY]: To your credit, yes, mass murder of a subspecies can be seen as genocide
[CURIOSITY]: But, if you had a fungal parasite on your head that you knew was sentient
[CURIOSITY]: And that if it separated from you, would die, but if it stayed with you would kill you
[CURIOSITY]: Would you let it just kill you?
[CURIOSITY]: If you found a way to separate it and let it live
[CURIOSITY]: Even if it cost all of your limbs, leaving you quadriplegic, would you?
[CURIOSITY]: If letting this one thing live would do that to everyone you would EVER know
[CURIOSITY]: Are you truly enough of a saint to let it happen?
> SVilHQ has a question for [HOPE], but it has been blocked as they are not a player
> [CURIOSITY] Makes sure that only the players can hear the following
[CURIOSITY]: I’ll answer that one, yeah, let them consume this world
[CURIOSITY]: Consume the souls of all who inhabit it
[CURIOSITY]: And spread their infectious “pollen” to other worlds
[CURIOSITY]: Everyone here willingly, sans the players, because they’re essentially hired help
[CURIOSITY]: Understood these risks upon reincarnating to this world
[CURIOSITY]: High risk, high reward
[CURIOSITY]: And the kblins and other refugees that refused to leave have the opportunity to fight to claim the world
[CURIOSITY]: Okay, so, shopping anyone?
[CURIOSITY]: Gimme your Karma, I have to go soon.

> Please confirm your purchases

I'll take the 1/2 Heart Armor perk.

>"nudge nudge wink wink"

0Plasm: Say no more

0Plasm: Well... alright, Thanks for offering to upgrade the innate skill later.
0Plasm: I'll keep the offer in mind once I gather more karma, and depending on how things go during my time here.
0Plasm: For now, I'll buy an Innate Skill for two karma, please.
0Plasm: Thank you [CURIOSITY]!

after finishing shopping, 0Plasm looks at the WILD ROD.

0Plasm: I'm going to name you RODNEY!
0Plasm: We're going to catch some great things you and I, both fish and otherwise!

-------------------------------------------

If I'm allowed to do this after shopping:

FULL ACTION: DO use the WILD ROD (Rodney) and the KARMA WORM (Squirmo) combined to fish for something in tile G9

0Plasm: Well, Squirmo, it is time to fulfill your purpose in life.
0Plasm: I hope your sacrifice here will give a karma point to make your next life better, as your sacrifice might help us move forward!
0Plasm: Alright, Let's do this Rodney!

...Confirm. It was a surface level memory, really. They just seemed chill and laid back in comparison to their always-on sibling. We didn't see them much.

High risk, high reward? Is this by chance Dimension 88-H?
As for the "gossip" others mention... I'm certain it must be coincidence, unless...
Do these gods frequently take mortal forms within their respective dimensions? If so, it would be possible for some of us to have seen them.
Also, if I'm hearing all this right I can spend 2 karma instead of 1 to make my persuasion idea an innate ability instead of an item?
If so, I would like to make this an innate ability rather than an item.
If that is not an option, make the item a silver pocketwatch.

Move to B7.
Find a suitably sharp stone and... Use the sharp stone on the log and carve a wooden staff/spear haft.

Setval

USE stick with rocks, craft a spear.
DROP fruit.

>>1049840
Well that's higher stakes than I expected. We better make sure not to lose, then.
Can I buy armor that's extra effective against melee attacks?

>just confirm the purchase and I’ll send it over
Confirmed. You are quite welcome swrd1. I will be doing my best to watch over you.

I'd like a boon in the form of [HYGGE BLANKIE] - "For every turn I spend in Limbo, I bank 1 Heart Point; while in Limbo, I can spend 2 banked Heart Points to heal anyone on the map by 1/2 a Heart." It looks like a fluffy security blanket I can wrap around myself for maximum coziness in Limbo, combining the comfort of healing with the reclusiveness of someone who's not interested in getting down and dirty amongst all the action.

I tried to be conservative with its efficiency, but I get the feeling this is still complicated enough to be worth no less than 2 KARMA, while I only have 1. Though I can probably grease the wheels with some hot goss... Well, I had been following a rather interesting tale of one secret agent's [DESIRE] coming into conflict with his own loyalty, the [ANGER] of his beloved, and the veils of [GUILE] and secrets surrounding both of them on all sides, over in Dimension 18-Q. He's a fluffy little mole-kin named NICO GIOVANNA, and I'm sad that I never got to see how his longing for the half-blood princess calling herself MARTH ultimately plays out. I couldn't possibly say who (or what attribute) will win out, or what sort of [CHANGE] that conceptual victory will manifest.

What happens if I eat the fruit now? I don't think it's been confirmed whether we have a Max HP value or not beyond some universal ceiling? Let's find out! Also, I collect some Karma Bug.

Wait, I need 2 Karma to make Damage Threshold an innate ability? @#$%.
I'm not buying a material shield. If I can't get permanent DT from a 1 Karma purchase, I'm saving it up instead.
... Also, can you help me upgrade my dagger? It absorbed karma and a corpse, it should be able to develop something.

I'll carve a Wooden Shield out of the tree's bark with my dagger, then move to E6.

DONUT will purchase the +3 resistance to projectiles, and ask if I can also spend 1 Karma on ½ heart armor. Because why not.

Actions: Move to E5 and collect the roses.

Err, sorry swordman, I think we perceive the world very differently, I wonder what we look like to you... I'd gladly explain what little I know but that would be weird and stressful, so I can't, sorry.
But I can probably give advices I think? You should try to cause change. Big changes are better if I understand correctly. "May your passion incite change."
Maybe you knew that ? That's all I got anyway, good luck, whatever you choose to do!

>>1049840
I confirm the purchase of the infinite watering can.

Coda advances to E1
Coda starts tending to the flowers and watering them.

You grew well, you're even prettier than I thought! You'll be a beautiful meadow in no time, I'm sure of it.

>>1049840
I will PURCHACE this tool if the end result of crafting is alive if i so choice

-Full Action: DO; Continue to CRAFT the [BOW]
- *Bows head to [CURIOSITY].
-- "I confirm my purchase. Thank you for your time, and your answers. I apologize that I cannot give you any gossip in return, it needs to be someone else who finds it, not me."
- Free Action: ADVANCE G2.

Setval's got the right idea here
SVilHQ

>World
Just as suspected there is a world outside of this. Walls are artificial limitations. Ones swrd1 is probably bypassing without issue because he's native. Still say he should flee. Would be best to warn without commanding... perhaps this?
Swrd1, should you stay your life will be risked while those of the blues will not be. Staying here is pointless if you can earn your sword places outside of here.

> [CURIOSITY] Makes sure that only the players can hear the following
Hostile suggestors too? Was a hostile query so probably how that was intended.
Hmm so either way total victory involves genocide. Would stalemate of endless war be better overall?
While consumption does sound bad, we're given no info how severe it is. Given that these supposed gods set up this system instead of getting a full war campaign it may not be that bad. Or perhaps... well, since they may be listening you guys can figure out what the rest is.

Of course with rule 16, quite a huge question is raised.
How could beings that can be sentenced (thus punished) grow powerful enough to endanger worlds?
Or does rule 16 not apply to them at all?
Dimensional refugee is a term that has been used...
[Justice] had a list of what kblin04 did... so supposedly should be sentenced...
What exactly is going on here...?
Have to get further evidence.
