Aippaq @ 1/5/2015 19:59 Dr. Elias, can I probe a bit about your ability? Surely it has limits. Is it just the closest group to us? How many floors up or down are you able to search (assuming the closest group would be multiple floors below or above us)? Feel free to not answer, I'm just very curious at this point. I can only detect the closest player to us. There may be others beyond that, I simply detect the nearest. I don't believe this ability has a range limit. If the nearest player was separated from us by several levels, I'd still detect them. My results are given like this: I am told how many floors up or down they are, followed by how many grid squares North, West and East they are in relation to our position. I can pin point their exact location with this system.

Any chance the thing you just scanned is not a player but an NPC or monster of sorts? (just to cover all bases)

If someone's role is malicious in nature, they can still win by completing one of the global/group objectives we got and shouldn't worry about their role win conditions.

[[Yea, basically the way I read into the gamplay rules and everything is that everyone will have the same global win condition, but there will be side objectives like ours as a group that people can choose to complete or not complete. I'm not sure how that determines anything because I think the goal ultimately is to leave here alive for everyone? Unless someone's personal mission could then change. But I think it's all depending on the choices people make. No one is "town" and no one is "scum" it's basically a good or evil system here and people will pick which path they choose to go.

I'm not sure if you're given an objective if you're forced to complete it before you finish the global objective. Basically how we have an objective now as a group, do we have to complete that before any of us can win with the global objective? I have no idea so if anyone has some insight on that, I'd love to know.

But I see everything this way. So, pick your poison, essentially, but we all are trying to get out alive whether that's with a good or bad win condition.]]

This unit has no intrinsic abilities of its own. That being said, the RAMSES is a universal back-up of sorts and can step in and take over for a companion if they were to fall during our journey.

Meaning you could sacrifice yourself in someone's place if someone were to die?

[[DAMN SEXY!!]]

That seems like a very valuable ability!

So once you inhabit a body, can you leave it? Or are you then stuck in it for the remainder of your time?

I have so many questions...probably too early to prod so much. :$

Aippaq @ 1/5/2015 20:23 So once you inhabit a body, can you leave it? Or are you then stuck in it for the remainder of your time? Data seems to indicate that this unit's outdated programming is only able to handle this specific flavor of reprogramming once, so it will have to be a carefully made decision. If the situation ever even comes to pass.

I guess my last and most important question would be can you copy a role of someone still living?

Tickle me intrigued.

Anyone here a good artist? I'd like to see our team drawn out with whatever our name is going to be across the top.

You guys aren't half bad.

Is that an everlasting cigar?

RAMSES @ 1/5/2015 16:00

I must take a brief respite. If someone wouldn't mind dragging or tossing me into the next room it would be appreciated. I doubt I will return until after we've moved on. The RAMSES unit goes into hibernation by the Southern exit.

I don't mind carrying the bot. Don't want to drag and scratch that pretty surface.

Morwena @ 1/5/2015 17:33

I must also thank for update, fate has me almost caught up but I didn't know the other team was above us. Seems fate wants us to go south. If there's a power generator on the third floor, we must entrust this task to the others. I still intend to go through everything though.

I appreciate your work ethic.

Exalted
