The last thread got stale, so I baked anew. This bread is filled with nuts, so it might aggravate allergies or bother anons with sensitive teeth.
Seriously though this is an RP thread; you've been warned.

>>10940I was gonna, but Trump veered off
>>10942Oh fuck it, all to the crossroads
<Pouf>
After a short travel at accelerated speed, the party is at the crossroads. To the north is Cardishore (where the remainder of Tracy's knives are), to the left is Spartemia or whatever I called it that one time (I'll go back and check, but yeah) and to the right is the Gnome city of Krenshall (again, I'll go back).

I say Cardishore or Krenshall

I will cut the muscles from your preciously little jaw. Then, and most importantly of all, I will cut you precious womb open and liberate my child from you. I shall slit his throat and end the suffering caused by the shame of being the spawn of you. Then I shall cut your intestines from you, wrap them around your neck, and hang you up by them as your useless legs dangle like a fucking grandmother's wind chime. Then, I shall skin you - cut your precious blue hide off. I shall tan it into leather, dye it, and make the most obnoxious black jacket. And while wearing that jacket, I shall track down every waifu - every last one of them - and steal them. I shall fuck them while wearing your tanned hide as an obnoxious black jacket. You better hope you are dead by then, because I will live stream every single one of them for the viewing pleasure of your wind chime of a body. Don't you lie to me Tracy, don't you ever lie to me.\r

It will be tanned into leather and become the scrolls from which an Hasidic Jew will painstakingly transcribe a handwritten copy of the Talmud. And then your Jew Talmud hide will become the basis for learning the Talmud for generations of little jews, passed down from generation to generation.

And so why am I being shackled to her when she can only harm? This is insulting. I do not deserve this insult."

Yes. Take me back to Port Barry

lets get you to your no, our town.
>>10983*obviously out of it by now, and surrendering physically to Inferius*
"She is as most women. No actual concern for any other person. No real love - nothing that deserves to go by the name of love. Only a desire to fill an inner emptiness. And that is done by hunting down and taking a man that she hopes to show off to the other women - they think if they do that they can be better than other women. Or by creating a child and stuffing them into the black void of their hearts."
He changes subject
"It wasn't your Rockwell, but Codreanu... I think that was his name. He once said, if I were faced by both an enemy and a traitor, and I had only one bullet, I would shoot the traitor. And he's right, because the traitor is closer and in a better position to do harm."
Pauses
"You know she intends to take the Jew gold for her own, right? Some of it anyways. Now even that'd be tolerable, if she'd just say outright 'I earned this' or 'it's abandoned, no one owns it.' But she wouldn't say that, would she? She'd lie about it. Because she has no respect."
Pause
"Thez was honest and dutiful. She had her faults but..."
Stops talking
>>10984trump i cant say you wrong about most women, but thez wasnt like them and id like if we dont go down that road, trump tracy may lie but she still our friend she not do anything to hurt us, me dont know why you so mean to her but me know you do what is right and me respect you for that.

get on.
>>10985*looks over to Inferius*
"Is she? I'm not as sure...
Just you wait and see. She'll be the first to get to the treasure, and a few choice gems will be removed from their rings and crowns, and when you ask her where they went, she'll concoct some weird story. And this will happen again and again. Can you rely on that? Would you want that riding you into battle? Would you want that raising you child? If she cannot be trusted with a few measly dollars, how can she be trusted with your life? Your child's life."
>>10986yes i would because i know she would love your&HER child and protect them with her life.
"It looks like Trump is going insane!"
GM looks at the board title, and back at her, cocking an eyebrow with wordless sarcasm. "Call it stress."
"I'd call it coocoo for cocoa puffs. I mean, he could have made the previous hoard of treasure last twice as long if he wasn't in such a hurry, port Barry is easily twice its previous size with a fully functional Football field, a civilian population that is actively training and organizing, and all the basic shit one could ever need. All this, on top of having a giant floating crystal tower with his name on the side, and he's still like this?" she says scratching her head. "I'll make a living harpsichord out of him if he tries any of that shit with Tracy, I'nis, or the whorehouse though,..."
"...I'nis?"
She giggles.

>>10992Reeeee! Muh flowcharts! Idk how to respond to so many action/emotion triggers at once!
I was going to write-out a romantic, hope-filled greentext/dialogue after the kiss, but now she's gotta cope with this.
*whips out graphing calculator*
Dammit..! I'm gonna have to activate my Yandere Cheats (they're extremely limited, and have critical psychotic consequences)to keep her from killing half the characters. You know she's hormonal now, right?Ignorance --> Tracy was still woozy from that long, passionate kiss, and wasn't listening at the beginning, in a whirl of positive hysteria.
Now for the Wilder abilities:
Autohypnosis -->
Repressed Memories>Due to a violent storm of latent internal turmoil in the Dreadful Mare's Chaotic psyche, her trained but Volatile Mind adapted to delet what she wasn't able to handle at the moment. Tracy suddenly feels shaken to the core, but only clearly remembers select parts of what her supposed lover just said, while being vaguely aware of the roots of her husband's breakdown, and deeply disdained by his state of distress.[murderous hoers noises begin before cutting off abruptly]
*shakes herself awake* "... F.. F-Flashy..?!" she murmurs, her eyes appearing glassed-over and dreary, before suddenly opening wide, revived with an aquamarine blaze
".. Flashy..! Y-you look really sick..!" She stutters, grasping your waist feverishly.
"Y-you didn't have to come all this way to track-down the treasure, if you weren't feeling well. The bull and I can easily do it on our own. I'll bring it back, so p-please don't st-stress..!" she stutters pleadingly, her body shaking with the early onset of hysteria "I... I-I'll bring it back...!" She murmurs again, more quietly this time, her eyes appearing to fade and glass-over once more. A shaky hoof wanders over to her soft, pale-blue abdomen, as if desperately looking for something. "F-for..
us...! I.. I'll find it.."
>>10985The fire returns to her eyes, as she turns over to the bull with a frightening glare
"Make sure he gets home safely
(wtf is fae?), and come back asap." She barks, her face momentarily becoming a scowl before she turns away and stares strait down at the pepples on the road.
"I will be scouting-out this area while you're away." she mutters, her voice becoming monotone.
PLEASE accompany her on the journey. It's important that the Cleric be there.AAAAND That's enough to accommodate my charts. I will have some greentext later-on, if I can find the time.
>>10988Travel ban isn't so effective, now is it? Did the interdimensional equivalent of liberal judges get to it?In older editions of D&D, Paladins are not allowed to associate with any characters who do not act as Paladins are supposed to. Here, you have a Paladin who is forced to watch his only ever child carried to term and raised by a drug-using, soccer playing, lying, unpatriotic neutral-evil Outsider. There's just no way that wouldn't push him to the breaking pointBottom line: he's not letting Tracy take the child so long as he does not trust her, may all the Heavens burn down
From the very beginning, his primary desire was to free himself from the thrall of the alleged deities that sought to keep him imprisoned here and away from the plains and sea shores of his youth. He has not strayed from that goal. His patron deity did not become revered because he was effective against enemies. He became the object of worship because he showed no restraint in calling out traitors and tyrants amongst his own party, and attacked alleged-allies with unrelenting ferocity. He has not forgotten that eitherYes. Trumpaladin has suffered a stress related breakdown relating to Tracy's pregnancy. He's now back in Trump Tower and is looking to explore a few weapons. He has reevaluated his situation and has determined that he has to re-prioritize his short term goals. "Next week's problem" is now this week's
>>10993I was going to respond to this, but
>>10994 poofed in
>>10994You might want to rethink that scene. She really shouldn't come within six feet of him while he's going psycho
>>10995FYI, Tracy actually isn't canonically drug-using in any text, memes or artworks I've seen (she's just normally that crazy), despite having grown up in a violent neigh-borhood full of potion-cooking ziggers. She's certainly not about to start now that she has a child either.
The moon sugar she bought in the khajit thread was originally meant to be used on you in a completely different story plan, but I decided to just use it to fuel her nightmare transformation, so that she wouldn't have it on her anymore.
Most of the rest is true-ish though.>>10996She was just kissing you a moment ago.
I really g2g. I'll check in again this this evening (won't be able to RP though, due to work and shit)
>>10997If she uses cocaine then she uses cocaine. As for the kissing scene, I think we can say that ended a while before the later breakdown, with Tracy bolting off her own way and Trumpaladin slowly wandering off to the side, and the breakdown happening some minutes or hours later. If the breakdown had occurred while Tracy was in close physical proximity, it would have been quite a bit more dramatic
So what happened last night was the logical next step in a series of events within Trumpaladin that was set in motion the moment Tracy reacted coldly to his rescue of her after she drank the blood. Unlike some characters with flow charts of six gorrillion possible outcomes, this train derailment has only two. Well, I guess three. I was going to have this happen later when it seemed less determinate as to whether a specific outcome was likely. But I think it needs to happen now.

>let's go mad together"Come closer little pony." *holds out sugar in one hand*. "This should only sting a little"
if you intend to have Tracy shift alignments, that process needs to start now and have some noticeable effects, or it needs to not happen at all

>wanting spoilersEverything involving her or you is a potential trigger for response, or pools for mental balances. Triggers are not necessarily negative or positive, and are ranked by points and pooled into calculating zones. The number of points each trigger may potentially have also changes constantly depending on the state of all pools and the sliding time scale: what may create a certain response at one point may have no effect, or an entirely different effect at another time. Most triggers are very subtle, and often have little affect by themselves, but certain others are landmines.tl;dr: Women are irrationally complicated, and even I can't tell you what her programming will yield.

So, you made an AI?
>>11014No. I cooked-up convoluted system of math to determine the outcomes of various haphazard flowcharts that I made-up for character development.
This was mostly to maintain a consistently-insane character.
>>10995You're mostly right. The travel ban was enacted by Thez, and can thereby be revoked likewise, except that doing so would allow (((everyone))) back in.

>>11009Ordinarily we don't. I had initially thought that putting 2-3 week time-skip would allow "Wow, the town is almost entirely repaired, and look there's all those things that characters put into motion". Unfortunately, I can't put down my popcorn.

>>11002>As for the breakdown, she would've been close enough to at least hear.Well, yes and no. The initial complete psycho parts were said in a very low voice, more or less mumbled, so people mostly would not have heard it, except for Inferius, who was very close. By the time Inferius started arguing with Trumpaladin, that would have gotten everyone's attention, so they would have heard that. Tracy could have heard the mumbling of she were either doing a random listen check, or if she were focused in on Trumpaladin particularly at the moment, Trump's words were techinically addressed to her, and he did say her name. So it's plausible she heard everything, but really she would not have heard everything just by default. So basically you have a choice as to whether she hears the insane threats or if she only hears the later arguments.
>>11009>WTALFIAEHAH
Not going to lie, I was legit IRL triggered by Tracy's in game lying and the opposition to my CPS suggestion. It only seemed natural to me to escalate the situation in game as well. Maybe one of these days I'll learn how to not take things over the internet, especially fantasy games over the internet. But that day is not today>harpsicord

GM, do you have any non-mathematic tips for maintaining a consistent character? Without being possessed by a tulpa that ends up being someone else's waifu.

>>11019Hmmmmm. I might. Let me think on that.
>>11016>NO HOMOI'm not sure I understand the opposition to homo. Unless you're doing math and making flow charts for a D&D character who is supposed to be random. That's just fucking gay

>>11011>Don't even think about taking her foal away from herYou wanted to be Ghost Rider, little pony? Well, your lot is to chase the Devil's heard across endless skies. Not be a mother
>>11016>Try having a thoughtform in your head that is rifling through your memory of 90's & 00's love ballads ~_~That's exactly why I created the math system: to avoid getting possessed.
Alright, setting aside the autism for a moment.
There are a couple ways Tracy can do the whole Ghost-Rider chain thing. For one she already has, what was it, 10 sets of +5 golded spiked chains? The easy way then is learning to animate the chains which can easily be done w/ telekinetics or magic (not necessarily spells either, items work just as well). Getting the chains to distort (lengthen, shorten, get more bladed) is trickier, but also possible. FULL ON ghost-rider shit WILL require a bit of intervention, which happens to fit with the theme of an upcoming segment which I spent all day devising. ^_~
Trump I'm a little surprised by recently, but the given explanation makes perfect sense. Part of the problem is that Trump is having to recognize that the line between good/evil is far more grey than is often touted. Still, he is the daddy-to-be of,... who fucking knows at this point.
Torcuil, would anon be offended if I said I would like to see more of him? I'll admit, when the meme magician idea first came up I was a little shaky on how it would work and didn't respond as effectively as I could (step on snek, for example). Still, in addition to memes he has the staff which at the very least has a few unlimited casts of basic spells.
Infernius,... you bastard. You rotten bastard. <sigh> I'll say that you've put me in an awkward position. The rest will play out as it does.
>>11028>>11016>Not just creating a self-insert character to eliminate the hassle and difficulties of creating a new personPlebs
>>11028Its not possession, its like having someone in your house going through stuff while you're in another room,... except the house is your head.
>>11030I don't get your meaning,... but I want to.
>>11029I don't understand
>>11030I just shipped another person's unoriginal OC so hard and so tenaciously that it stuck.
>>11033I mean, like with the banshee wail I have a much better understanding of how to incorporate memes as stand-alone magic and/or references to established spells. Basically, I'm owning up to having not fully prepared for a meme magician in previous.
>>11035Good. Meme magic has great potential for funny developments and plotlines
Also,
I feel kind of responsible for helping him out in having some fun too, since it was my suggestion..
>>11035Ah, works for meme
>>11036To your earlier question of consistent RP'ing. You're already wet son, you might as well swim. I doubt you'll end up with a Tracy inna head, but there must be some reason you picked her and are able to play her authentically. Play off that if you can. Besides, no one said that Tracy can't evolve, you are her faggot atm.
P.S. Though not Tracy's OC, the way of the game is that this all occurs after Tracy has died, meaning its outside her OC's purview. Just saying.
>>11038>are able to play her authentically.Really? I thought I was doing a shitty job.
>>11039>meaning its outside her OC's purview.I couldn't care less about w00t's opinions, desu. This is about memes.
>>11029>"good and evil is grey"Where is the grey here?
First of all, when you're dealing with people you're forced to work with, it's a question of "do I trust them or do I not trust them." A yes or no question. And Tracy fails this, because she lies to him, she steals, and she just shrugs off exhortations to fight on behalf of the country.
She was cold to him when he rescued her, she was more interested in the blood than him when she was unconscious, she was more interested in running away, she fought both Trump and Inferius, she stole shit, she lied about it. Generally she's expressed far more interest in becoming this demon-thing than in him. Her motivation is pursuit of power. That's dangerous, and he can't control her like he used to through her obsession, because she doesn't care as much anymore. She did not seem interested in talking to him prior to going on the journey.
I had originally thought of making the treasure hunt sort of a test of character for Tracy. If she steals and then lies, she fails, and if she does not steal, or steals but is honest, then she passes. But frankly that's entrapment, not a test, because it is so remarkably obvious that she'd fail and fail big league.
>But she's been helpful so farHave you ever had the misfortune of working around untrustworthy people? They are cowardly. They will support you and help you when you are strong ad when things are going well. They strike you only when you are in your most desperate moments. They wait to attack you until you have been knocked straight down on the ground. They are much worse than enemies.
The biggest problem with Tracy is that she is constantly and perpetually growing more powerful. Meaning if she needs to be stopped - and every indication is that she will be - it'll be much harder to do later than it will be to do now.
The same thought process happened with Thez. When Trumpaladin saw Thez kill and eat the face off of a seemingly innocent person, he figured she needed a good killin'. He stopped when he figured he was unlikely to win the battle, with the intent to wait until she was distracted in the city and perhaps guards would attack her. After that, he figured she was useful. When she killed the horse, he was pissed off at her again and wanted to send Tracy to injure her (she found Trollestia instead). After that point, he sort of figured that she wasn't an active threat, and was probably essential for the final leg of the game.
Tracy being pregnant is frankly just insulting, because his attempts to save her from corruption and return her to her former self failed spectacularly
I can go on and on, but I think it's really obvious
>>11041For all the change in the physical appearance and capabilities of Tracy, there has been no growth in her personality. And that's the problem
>>10947>>11002Tracy becomes frustrated at not having found any clues, and decides to practice casting Shatter on various small objects.
>>11041>where's the grayYou asked for it,....
>cracks knucklesClassically, the issue of "good" or "evil" has boiled down to the individual's motivations: Service to Self or Service to Other.
Tracy as a character AND an OC kinda straddles that line, in that while her immediate motivations are observably Service to Self, her underlying motivations are vengeance, justice, and malicious destruction upon those who she sees (and in some cases are, though perhaps not to the degree of severity that she sees them) as being predatory, themselves malevolent, or just plain stab-worthy.
While the situational motivator for her is obviously self-interest, there's a degree of 'not-self' interest, in that she is aware (to whatever degree of non/sub/full-consciousness) that though it is satisfying to stab someone for whatever reason, she is both alleviating the need for someone else to stab them, as well as eliminating the circumstances which would result if they were allowed to continue unstabbed.
Tl:dr Yes, Tracy is pathological, but she seems to target more or less pathological individuals.
<cont> This is the reason Thez took such a liking to her initially. She's not conflicted when it is apparent that there is a threat, and she's merciless to whatever the threat may be. She COULD work on the dividing line between threat and non-threat, and probably will do so as her priorities change WRT recent developments. Also, Tracy's pathology was affected by character etymology, specifically relating to reproduction and all that, which seemed something deprived of her; the sudden change will also have (admittedly, chaotic in the least) repercussions that neither she nor her faggot anticipated.
In the same sense that Trump is freaking out, so is Tracy. To the ones outside the freak-out it appears madness, but to the one experiencing there IS a method.
>>11043>searchingWhere is Tracy at this time?
>>11044And... I haven't seen a damned bit of that in game play. I've seen a character who was formerly like my ex-girlfriend (yandere, clingy, irrationally jealous) who has transformed into Anakin Skywalker in a quest for power.
>Target's pathological individualsShe targets, and targets simply, "like a shark." No justice, no vengeance, no anger. Only the desire to kill for the sake of killing. Oh, and a desire to kill romantic rivals, but that's another story
>>11048True, this is all developmental psychology. A Tracy such as this doesn't just <poof> there's a psychotic hoers, there is a chain of events that leads up to it, as well as a number of catalysts and inner developments. Her fixation on Ghost Rider is a dead giveaway, in that GR is something of an antihero, more vigilante than outright protagonist except with a legit mandate.
>>11046Put simply, She likes to kill and burn and stab because, well, she's Tracy. She used to be super obsessive of Trumpaladin to the extent that she could be relied on for pretty much anything. That's not true any more - she can't be relied on, but still wants to dominate him and harm every female he touches. But most of all she wants power, and she's willing to harm whatever need be harmed to gain power. And when a creature already wats to kill for pleasure, or dominate you, or kill your allies, that's not grey. That's black. Jet black.
>>11049>vigilanteI'm not seeing it
Without any sign that she cares about... well, anything besides more power, this is an Anakin Skywalker transformation, not a Ghost Rider transformation.
By the way GM, I have a few questions. First off, that weapon killing weapon, about how many hits or wjat sort of dice rolls does it need to be effective? Is it effective against all weapons, less so against some?
The revival system. How does it work, and how portable is it?
Fae. How loyal is she? This should probably be RP'd out, but I have a whole new set of driving-hundreds-of-miles-then-flying-thousands-of-miles-then-back-again-tomorrow.
>>11051Such a shame really. If Tracy were as obsessive as she were at the beginning of the game, and a little more honest, she'd be a great mount
>>11052Weapon hit points are determined by thickness and material composition (volume and harness). A basic heavy mace has a hardness of 10 and HP of 10, meaning that another weapon needs at least a hardness of 10 to do damage. Sugoito has a hardness of 25 (adamantine is 20). Damage is as per normal.
>>11044>her underlying motivations are vengeance, justice, and malicious destruction upon those who she sees (and in some cases are, though perhaps not to the degree of severity that she sees them) as being predatory, themselves malevolent, or just plain stab-worthy.A lot of it's just edge for the sake of edge, but this is certainly true to a certain extent.Most artists just set her on characters that seem stab-worthy at the time, like a memetic attack dog (not an artist, but this includes me as well. I started shipping them because of her association with Death): in this, she reflects the vengeful edge of 4chan culture; like how faggots on /mlp/ keep talking about killing the characters they don't like. Because she represents the boards collective rage, especially infamous characters, like Flash Sentry, are also often depicted with her. She's also considered the Grim Reaper of OCs, killing various OCs that somehow manage to be less original than her.The idea to ship her, instead of having her kill him (for now), was just my own touch. Basically a new way for an unoriginal April Fool's joke of an OC to have a role on this April Fool's joke of a board.>>11051Think of how Anakin Skywalker slowly turned into a megalomaniac after he had that vision that his Waifu and child would die, and you'll have a glimpse of what could happen in the Bad Ending.>>11047She's still at the crossroads, trying to find a path to take that won't put her on a single-file line to nowhere.
>>11053Her shift in character was largely due to the appearance of another mount
like,
seriously. It activated more than a dozen extreme triggers at once.. I actually should've accounted for that happening...
>>11056>Mathematized autism Her current trigger is she needs to prove herself reliable and trust worthy if she wants to be waifs/mount/mother material. (I love that combination). Not one missing coin. I don't think there is any way my character could have been less subtle
>>11052Addtly, the booth is stuck to the Tower. Its pretty blatantly haxxor, but not as much as the stick.
Fae can go a number of ways. She was intended to be a proper, distinguishable, and useful mount, but I suppose she is as easily canned and replaced. TBH I thought you'd like her, but I'm open to new options. She is loyal certainly, but she didn't anticipate horsefuckery and may be having some, not doubts but misgivings?
>>110571d10+7 on a sunder-strike
How many levels does Tracy have in Wilder?
Also, I assume she has two in each prestige class?
>>11059No no, she's a fine mount, I just want to know if she'd ever refuse to carry out an order under the wrong circumstances
>1d10 on a sunder strikeI have absolutely no clue what you said there
While we're on the subject, what does trumpaldin have in whatever classes? Prestige and what not
>not willing to go that far with egghead shit
I have job applications to do
>>11060Also, do I cast Death Knell on an enemy before or after killing them, to gain the benefit?
>>11061Sunder = attacking a weapon, object, or tool. Its a 1d10 weapon, +4 against ppl but +7 against non-people.
Basically, (again using the heavy mace example) you'd need a 3 or better to snap it in half.
>>11062>wuts he gotYou're asking me? The staple answer is "Paladin", but you're welcome to get creative
<sunder cont> and actually, even that's not true, as that doesn't account for strength bonus. Its pretty much the ultimate "break your shit" stick.
>>11065Perfect. He can attack twice in one turn with a two handed weapon right? And does "smite evil" exist in this permutation? Can it be cast while mounted?
>>11063I call upon thee, D&D autist: what are Trumpaladin's classes, prestige or whatever. Assume points are mostly allocated for the duel goals of being a pope and being a president, and constant grinding for strength points (playing football), diplomacy (making deals), and religion (football again). I guess also more general charisma in much less common speeches (assume maybe 4?)
\r
>>11067>Assume points are mostly allocated for the duel goals of being a pope and being a presidentThat sounds like High Proslytizer.
If you take the Required leadership feats, you could easily take the epic prestige class upon level-up (or we could just bullshit it and assume you took all the leadership feats before level-up, so you could have two levels in it.) Technically, you need to have really high knowledge of nature to take it, but Football is nature anyway.
The other perfect prestige class for a Paladin is Divine Emissary.
Both classes would give you Yuge access to Divine Spells.
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Divine_Emissaryhttps://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:High_ProselytizerThis isn't DnD anyway; it's Mixed Nuts: there's no need to be rigid, so long as the memes are good.
Also, GM, please check me for bullshit. I really will buff Tracy into Darth Vader if left unchecked. I only just got into this, so I might be giving her more shit than is possible.
>>11068>GM, please check me for bullshit. I really will buff Tracy into Darth Vader if left uncheckedThis please. Competition is no fun if unwinnable
Also someone photoshop please
>>11068>All those numbersUh... Were we supposed to be keeping score? Also, I think it says 24 religion OR nature, so a high religion score will suffice, which is more plausible. Divine emissary looks like it has required feats that haven't happened yet
>>11070the gm has been doing that for us dont worry.
>>11070>so a high religion score will sufficeYou're right. The nature thing is so that Druids could take it.
>>11068epic level stuff is generally level 20+
>>11073You're right.
I've been grinding Spot since day one, but I'm still not sure if Tracy can be a Guardian Paramount.
Sorry fam, I'm not at my best today
Does anyone else worry this distracts too much attention from the main board?
Also, if you see me tomorrow, shoo me off. I need to conserve battery on my phone for navigating through a strange and new city
>>11077I think we could do for some Meta discussion, both in and out of thread.
Also noted.
To the first, not egregiously. Since these threads are 'hidden-ish', it seems that anons know there is stuff going on but are not having it shoved down their throats. TBH, these threads are the fastest threads on the board and unless one is 'on board' I assume they are dismissed as "those autists doing their thing".
Alot of the mainboard discussions are not time sensitive, and given a havily /pol/ base for Mlpol, alot of anons minds are made up wrt disposition and perception, the rest is just bants and IMOs.
<cont> Since the babby cup, and the numerous (much I assume, from Mlpol) calls for "bring back /mlpol/" I've had the opportunity to recognize that regardless of intentions, a gross (double-entendre intended) majority of 4chan users - in spite of claims to the contrary - want/DEMAND to be spoon-fed. Simply, they want maximum gratification with minimal investment/participation. That's not a criticism of individuals, its an assessment of the culture surrounding.
This thread showcases particularly a small handful of anons who are invested to a degree beyond "gibs me", which desu was among my foremost agendas from the get-go. This campaign was initially designed to redpill IRL associates through buzz-words, references, etc., but the lot of you who have stuck with thus far are also engaged in a creative exercise.
Foremost was the idea that "One practices creativity by expressing creativity, so I'll provide a context and we'll see where we go with it", but also integral is/was the recognition that one DECIDES to actively participate/involve themselves in a lengthy endeavor. Who knows what might have come of 4/mlpol/ if more anons hadn't said (and I'm paraphrasing from various MLP resources on the web) "aww shucks, they canned it. oh well, back to the old boards then". Said resources still lack any mention of Mlpol.net, which to me speaks of gross negligence (bias removed) lack of lasting interest.
>>11079>This campaign was initially designed to redpill IRL associates through buzz-words, references, etcThe Game needs more of that stuff, desu. It could use more meme-tier enemies and references to globalism, Jews, communism antifa, shills, reddit, Starlight Glimmer.. etc.
Meme-tier enemies get me excited
(would've invented a reason for tracy to spring towards the Z's if you could've given them an /r9k/ reference).
>>11080>>11079hill-dawg when?
>>11081There could at least be a reference to her having been defeated previously.
If we ever face Starlight, she had better be unfair and overpowered as fuck.
>>11082i hope she kills most of us and torculi saves us.
>>11083>Tracy getting killed while pregnantYou'd better not revive her then...
>>11084the baby gets revived aswell dont worry.
>>11081>>11082Count on it, I had planned both. Still, I'd like to metaphysically help put the last nail in George's coffin if you don't mind my saying.
>>11085Fetuses are delicate. Either way, the prospect of having lost her baby once would shatter her mind beyond repair: Just look at what happened to Lauren Faust.
Also to the initial meta-question, I feel the answer is "no". Whether more anons lurk or participate ITT, we ARE helping to build a general sense of enthusiasm for the board. These threads account for ~ 1/10th of the full post count, and while some posts are just die rolls, corrections, or tiny snippets, if you go back from the beginning and read (which I highly suggest, its weirdly nostalgic) this 'experiment' has grown its own set of wings.
>>11088>These threads account for ~ 1/10th of the full post countFor /vx/? It has to be much more than that.
>>11089No, total. I crunched the numbers 2 days ago, we're just shy of 10k posts.
>>11087yea but still im a level 15 cleric i can heal all the wounds.
>>11091>all bysical woundsCuz dhey heel
>>11091Yeah, but her only lifeline to sanity is being able to be a mother at this point. Failing to protect her child even once would mess her up beyond repair.
No worries though; she won't be taking the same risks she used to now that she's going to be a mommy.
>>11090>our autism has taken over /mlpol/I told you it would come to this, the autists have taken over
>>11094Autists will inherit the earth.
>>11095I have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new empire.
>>11094Similar to how ponies and politics are a volitile concoction of autism; games and the paranormal are a frightening power when combined.
>>11097Amen, brother.
>>11098But what happens when you add
>ponies+politics+games+paranormalDoes this also techinacly make us the most active users?
>>11093>has guardian devilsShhhh, rest now.
>>11094Taken over nothing. I unironically hope to see more such autism throughout the board.
>>11100>I unironically hope to see more such autism throughout the board.6 gorillion times this.
>>11100>spreading autismSo who wants to tell the OC thread that Tracy is now Pregnant according to an agreement with Atlas
>>11102I think 'agreement' is a stretch; 'tacit acknowledgement' might be more accurate
>>11104Same difference in my eyes
>>11102When Tracy reaches level 3 blackguard,
I might be tempted to use her evil powers to give everyone autism...
>>11106To that end, it is only the allegation of rape and impregnation that was decried as fake news, the 'other' incident hasn't been publicly mentioned
Whoops, wrong link. Still, that's a whole new concept of weaponized autism
>>11111>Didn't even mean to take the GET>Was implying that Tracy would use her evil powers to create a plague of weaponized autismW-WEW..!
>>11116>>11115S-Stop checking it! She can't be married to the Paladin if she does that (he could cure everyone's autism, if it came to that, though).
Alright, night all, I'm sure I'll be spending the entire fukkin' day thinking about the discussion here instead of doing my job. Take care!
"Datte bayo"
>>11118>I'm sure I'll be spending the entire fukkin' day thinking about the discussion here instead of doing my job.I'm more guilty of this than I'd normally care to admit...
