Style. Friends can be enslaved and their minds raped into willing adoration, and power can be accumulated so easily.

Style, though, is inborn.

Style, followed by friends.

The power of FRIENDSHIP!

Friends.

Friendship?
I wouldn't have picked it but..
Very well. Many allies will be here to join you in your battles.
Without Style though you will not get much Funding.
I will give you some to make up for that. You have 5 Funding Points. With them you can enhance yourself. As it stands you aren't much to look at.
Your current stats are
HP: *
ATK: *
DEF: **

Allies are at 1
And Equipment at None
Areas Controlled is at 0 for now. Do not worry about that just yet.

With Funding you can gain another point in the following stats:
HP + 1 for F1
ATK + 1 for F1
DEF + 1 for F1

Bonus equipment can be bought for your level for F4. The can change any of your stats but the change is unknown. If not taken now this will have to be gained at a later time.

You can also Research things. Right now the only options you have are:
Increase Power: F3
Enhance Graphics F4 (Requires Increase Power)

Don't worry about buying everything now. You will get more funding. Hopefully.

get HP ATK and Power

>>421851
...4 for each. Was the update made/prepared before the last Style vote showed up?

And if anyone wanted an explanation, style leads to friends, which leads to power, so...

>>421861
yes

>>421862
Well then, reasonable, especially if we can change priorities later on. Even if we can't, that's okay.


HP, ATK, and Power sound good.

>>421858
>>421864

>>421861
It was a tie. redaeth had "Friends" as second option, however. I don't know if this is allowed.

Anyway, the question is clear. It isn't about what you want, but what is most important to you. Family and Friends are the most important for me.

+HP +ATTACK +POWER

Your stats are now:
HP:**

A very well rounded person. I'm proud of your choices.
You enhance your Power.
With increased power you are able to finally perceive yourself and the world around you.

You see you are on floating in an empty space. Your limited awareness tells you that at the moment you can not leave.
First... You need a name.
We can't let you enter the world without a name.
How about.. Nessie? That fits.

Your Ally joins you.
His name is... Rob. That seems to fit.

Before I send you off shall I explain more of the basics of this world?

Keep that in mind for later then.

At the start the world was empty. Recently however it has started to fill with creatures known as Systems.
You are a System, Nessie.
At first there were many of them.
Now there are only a few.
Each of them have chosen their own powers and with it they will try to 'win' the game.
What many aren't aware of is that there are many ways to win..

Each Cycle you are given a minimum of 2 Action Points and 5 Funding Points.
You can spend these points to Research a new power or Attack or Negotiate with any System around yours.
By attacking you have a chance to take over that System and acquire it's Funding and current Research.
Negotiating will not give you a System's Research but it will allow them to help you in later battles. You may need to sacrifice a bit to do this.
Lastly you can Research to increase your own power. As it stands you are weaker then the other 2 main Systems because of your lack of Power and Graphics. Using Research you can gain these and even Equipment for battle.

Any questions before you are sent off?

nope.

We can revive old Systems? Or borrow their powers?

'Dead' Systems can be brought back at any Safe Point for a significant amount of Funding Points.
Also by Negotiating with Systems you can potentially use them in battle and gain their powers.
No more questions? Very well..
--------------------------------------------

This is the Grid.
You are the Gray point.
Blue Points are other Systems. They are all separate Systems with no group.
The Green and Orange Points are Points controlled by the other two Main Systems.
The Purple Points are Safe Points.

It's the first Cycle.
You have 2 AP and 5 F Points.
There is a System next to you.

You can Negotiate for 1 AP
Fight for 1 AP
Or Research: Enhanced Graphics for 2 AP and 4 F Points
Newsletter (allows you to see what other Systems are doing) for 2AP and 8 F Points

Negotiate. we picked friends, and we gotta play our strengths.

>>421913
Agreed

Yeah, Nessie should Negotiate. There's a Safe Point near. The points that weren't used may be accumulated for the next turn?

You try and Negotiate with the System. It is revealed to be an obsolete System. His name is Artie 2600.
You try your best to convince him it'll help to work together. He doesn't show much emotion but you can see he's intrigued.

It is still Cycle 1.
You have 1 AP and 5 FP
Artie is Neutral to you.
You can spend the remaining AP and FP or simply wait til Cycle 2.

Continue to negotiate.

if artie can see the grid, show him how the others have already taken spots. if they come for him while alone he's a goner. and give him 1 fp as a show of good will.

also, can we claim his space while artie lives? so we can get the income of both points?

Can we still spend FP to increase our stats? If so, +3 Attack +1 HP +1 Def

>>421930
Not here. Only at Safe Points can you increase your actual Specs.

You decide to negotiate with Artie once more.
This time you explain how the other Systems are taking over the map and without allies he might be in a bit of trouble.
You also give him 1 FP.

Artie seems pleased by this.
He agrees to let you take his Point and even gives you a Power called Joy-Stick. It allows you to move in 8 Directions instead of 1 on the Grid.

You have spent all your AP.
-----------------------------

Cycle 2. As a level 1 System you gain +5 FP.
You now have 2 AP.
You control 2 Points. Artie's Point gives you +1 FP bringing you to a total of 9 FP.

You are near a Safe Point.
Here you can spend FP to increase Specs at a cost of 2 FP per stats. Using a Safe Point costs 1 AP. Once you use it once it is yours unless it is fought for.

sure, move up and increase all stats by 1.

Negotiate with the Safe Point.

that safe point... it will be ours.

Use Safe Point, and add +3 HP +1Defense, then negotiate with the point to the north and give it one FP

You take over the Safe Point for 1 AP and spend FP on +3HP and +1 DEF for 8 FP leaving you with 1 FP.
You Negotiate with the Point to the north for 1 AP and offer 1 FP.
The System introduces herself as Genesis and says thank you for the FP but she'd rather just stay out of this fight for now..
She says there's no chance for you to win... She herself lost against one of these Systems..

The other 2 systems make their moves. With no AP left you end.

Cycle 3

You gain 5 FP.
Artie's Point gives you 1 FP.

You have 6 FP and 2 AP.


You can Negotiate for 1 AP
Fight for 1 AP
Or Research: Enhanced Graphics for 2 AP and 4 F Points
Newsletter (allows you to see what other Systems are doing) for 2AP and 8 F Points

think we need backup to convince that one. try the one to the left of the safe point.

oh and make sure you bring up the fact you already have some allies.

>>422376
Research better graphics.

Negotiate north again, this time say it is staying out of this fight is impossible, they are already seeking to take over everything else... look at how both Orange and Green are spreading quickly. However all is not lost as it is possible to win as long we all work together. Give her 2fp.

You gain +10 FP and Artie gives you +1 FP bringing you a total of 15FP with the 4 left over from last Cycle
You have 2 AP.

Specs now cost 3 FP a piece.

You can still attack or negotiate.
You can Research:

Graphics for 5FP and 2AP
Power for 5FP and 2AP
Equipment for 7FP and 2AP

It seems the other 2 Systems didn't move much.

they probably researched something as well. anyway, try negotiate left of save zone.

wait sec, can rob only help you in attacks? why not have him spend HIS ap researching better graphics.

You negotiate with Genesis again this time sparing 2 FP.
You say that you can't just sit out the fight!
The others are taking over very fast and if we work together we can win this!
She gives a small sad smile and says that your enthusiasm is nice but it's not possible for weak systems like us.. Maybe if we had some support.

but you HAVE support. bring out your allies.

You're attacked!
--------------------------

X has decided to fight you and try to claim your shop.
She is in this fight alone with no equipment.

You enter the battle with ROB.
ROB's Ability activates. X must defeat him first before any harm can come to you.

Because you were attacked it is your move first.
You can Attack
Use Item (you have none)
Surrender

When you attack your ATK is subtracted from your opponent's DEF. If there are any stars left over your attack has a chance of failing. The more stars the higher the chance. When hit the opponent loses HP stars equal to your ATK stars.

call artie for support. if that doesn't work then attack.

>>422428
Attack!

Nessie's right, with Genesis ​​help we could win! But the blow Genesis received was too big, Nessie will need something else! Nessie needs help, Genesis needs hope and determination! Once again, Genesis needs SEGATA SANSHIRO!!

she probably can't penetrate Arthur's defenses. she must surrender if she wants to live. negotiate.

Call your ally in for support then attack.

>>422480
>>422434
>>422433
No, that will put our friends in danger! Please, listen to what I have to say! If we can't revive SEGATA SANSHIRO, Nessie will need time! I recommend Negotiate: Truce! We don't compete with X for the same market! We can use this to buy some time!

We would win if we fought. It would risk losing ROB but barring very bad luck we would win. X should notice this as well, ask her what prompted this suicide attack, which would leave whoever wins too weak to defend against anyone else.

>>422496

I can't believe it took this post to have me realize what was going on.

I'm glad to be Nessie, though. Nessie is the best.

also, fuck Xboxes and fuck negotiating with them. that shit can go die. attack.

>>422503
Reassuring. What about Graphics and Power? Additionally, the other system is far away from X, she's close to a save point and also has an ally.

>>422428
What would happen if ROB were slain in battle?

>>422505
You're not referring to 422503's post?

>>422518
that isn't an ally, safe points are just double colored to both show ownership and that they are safe points.

negotiate Genesis again, tell her you got in a fight with Xa nd walked away unscathed. you can and WILL win.

Give her 5 FP as well.

don't give anyone any FP. maybe except ROB. he'S a pretty cool guy.

It's okay if she doesn't want to fight, if she's afraid. You'll protect her anyway, you'll save everybody.

Increase your attack by 4. This way we can simply crush the likes of Miss X with two hits instead of 6. Don't forget the other player will continue to become stronger, if all we do is talk we will be crushed within a few rounds.

More funding is always a good thing, but we should maybe look into power. IIRC, increasing power was required before increasing graphics the first time. Don't want to start giving Super Nessie power issues.
