5/5 Rudger and the lads get it on in the cage

Just guys being dudes

this shit better not be fuckin dead

Seeing divequest return led me to look up some of the other greats dwelling in hiatus limbo.

That resulted in the most pleasant surprise finding stuff had happened with coxwette since my last look.
Despite never being fortunate enough to be a participant, just reading the archives was enough. I loved the artwork for the characterisation and humour but was equally engaged by the mystery unfolding and finding myself having become emotionally invested in the characters fates.
Coxwette was something special.
Even if it seems to have sunk back into hiatus again, whether that hiatus is brief,long or sadly permanent, i just wanted to take the chance to express thanks for the journey RML.
Its been great.

I think it's actually dead this time. RML changed her online identity and deleted her FA gallery.

RML is going by the name spincraze now, seems to have shed all things tied with past projects. It makes me super sad, trash knight, coxwette, tons of other one offs, but it's ultimately their work and we're just along for the ride. It's nice to see them making art again at least.

>>144545
What prompted this purge?

A common mistake I make is to begin a project, and through the execution of the requisite tasks, discover something I'd rather do. The primary issue is the difference in speed between what can be done by the hands and by the mind. The story of V1 is ostensibly finished in my mind, but my hands have yet to catch up. The story is simple. I think I made a mistake improperly conveying that. I gave the audience a plane, when all they needed was to drive around a few cones. What was intended soley as a framing device--The terminal interface and Within debugger--Has become the hammer through which the story is beaten. It is a filter that has reduced the participatory audience, and perhaps alienated a large portion of the lurking eyes (I cannot measure this in any other way than my self-critical insistence that I am always doing something wrong).
To be completely truthful, I am insecure about the 'dialogue' in the story. The tiny bumps in the road have left me dispassionate, and so the responses by V1 are meandering through the weeds of emotion. It is as directionless as a balloon left in the open air, swirling in the empty wind.
The story itself, as presented to the audience, flails and flounders similarly. The author is the navigator, and they are the captain, but to communicate the goal in such clear and direct terms would violate the rules presupposed by fiction.
Do not pity me and leave words of encouragement or support. Do not tell me that my anxieties are conjured nor immaterial. This is my critique to myself; It is one of the inner voices which demands my bettering, that which stares in silent contempt at all that could have been done better. We all need an enemy to fight, and I am mine.

I don't see how I can meaningfully investigate much of anything without using M and V... which means you just want me to use the I command to ask V1 things, or make them do things?

Like, the reason I'm using M is I'm trying to find things related to what I'm asking V1 about. There's no way to check specific words until I have the ID associated with that word, and M and V are the only way to get new IDs... with V being more indirect and mazelike. That said I have no idea what I'd even do if I found a memory/word that causes instability (it's probably the flashbulb one I already found), because the only way to edit memories is... using other memories? How would that even work?

>>144485
Using 'I' is going to be the most efficient way of getting information. Using 'M' and 'V' to get background information works, but the memories are directly accessible to V1, and V1 will be much better and quicker at sorting though them. 'M' and 'V' were intended to be used when V1 was lying to itself, or trying to hide something.

I can't really tell you what you should do, but much like real life, your control over things is limited and there's only so much you can do. The modification of memories isn't intended to be relevant in the story, so those commands require outside files which you can't access, basically making them useless.

Alright, so, I should use M and V when I ask something and the answer is something not quite believable. Oh, I just realized I don't have to use M immediately after asking important questions, I can wait for a response and then use the command at the *start* of the next command list if I think I need to. Or ask a specific question for it and indicate to trim the log for the answer to that question only. That should reduce the log spam.

Alright, so we aren't PoC. Is the players' identity a spoiler? We're not playing as V1, we're playing as someone connected to them, but somehow we lack both understanding of the software and knowledge of V1's situation.

>>141951
Very amusing joke, got a good laugh so thanks. However if you're familiar with Jumble's other stuff (system boot zero, date-a-robogirl quest whose title has slipped my mind...) you're probably aware humanoid machines are generally his wheelhouse. Just his muse's thing.

>>141947
Okay, time for ideas! I'll start by assuming that, since the robots built their civilization on a planet full of life, they make use of organic components in some of their systems.

Now here I go! Let's see how many answers I can come up with.

The original robots were programmed with sexual feelings by their creators, as a precaution against a rogue AI singularity. They're attracted to certain body types so they won't go too crazy with self-upgrading and their evolving programs will remain at least somewhat relatable if they ever meet their makers.

Physical contact is a sort of system diagnostic routine for their biological (or bio-mimetic) parts. They touch and grope each other to to confirm that their tactile sensors and connected systems are still functional, until their instinctive subroutines give them an "all good" feeling. They are designed with a desire to do this that gradually grows the longer they wait between tests, to make sure their organs don't become numb, atrophied, or otherwise nonfunctional.

The robots' primary sex organs collect genetic and hormonal data markers from their other organs, which can be extracted and analyzed as a way to measure their general health. Male organs send their data in a chemical medium, while females produce eggs with a similar function.

Female sex organs can be used to grow new organic parts. They can replicate any organs included in their own design, and males have the genomes for their own components, which they can deliver to a female for reproduction and later installation. They were designed this way to make it easier for the population to support itself without needing the infrastructure to grow organs in mass quantities. They've calculated

>Male organs send their data in a chemical medium, while females produce eggs with a similar function.
I meant to say "milk" here. I was thinking about cyberboobs. The females collect biodata in their chests and store it with synthesized biofuel. The organs are attached to their upper bodies so they don't interfere with the functions of their lower parts, and large sizes are considered attractive because they indicate that a person's organic systems are in good health and operating productively.

It looks like LiterallyJumble is back now with a new quest! Here it is:

>>/quest/1117732

It's called DO NO EVIL and it's a quest about being a supervillain, going by the OP. It's just started now.

I don't mean to be pesky, but what does this mean for MACHINE? It's been about three months since the last update, when it usually only goes two months between. Are you planning to bring it back when you're done with the new quest, or are you waiting to update for some other reason, or are you planning to simply move on to other things?

Any answer is fine, but this will affect how I play DO NO EVIL. We're currently in the "pick your powers" section, and mind power is looking like my preferred option, but if you're also going to do another quest where we can play a hypnotist then I'd consider doing something different in the new quest.

You seem to have mysteriously dropped two dots in Occult while adding one in Survival, relative to the previous character sheet draft. Craft (Lightning) specialty in "repair" seems too broad - could change that to "skyships," or swap it out entirely for initiate-level Art of Elemental Air, which (per houserules) also encompasses weather-working.

>>133443
That was probably a mistake in copying over an earlier sheet. I suppose that I could always shift that specialty dot into Thaumaturgy, but I'll look up weather-working anyway.

sorry about that.
I'm getting tripped up by the meta aspects in this engelfight. Like it says it's "mind" is the agent's interpretation. So like a hallucination? Could the agent be having a debate with any animal or inanimate object then? If it really is a thing with no reasoning then I can't think of a counter to its claim of being not unjust.
mostly I'm confused

It seemed to most strongly be affected by kome's definition which was an entirely valid definition that also worked against its own aggression. If Justice is the arbitration of conflict (and it usually is; laws and courts prevent vigilante justice and lynchings) then there's no arbitration being done in the conflict between us and the engelkind so it's unjust.

>I'm a little disappointed nobody suggesting is familiar with debate or logical fallacies enough to use them in the quest.

I was expecting a bit more of that to be honest. Not a negative reflection on the people who read my quest but perhaps the thinking games on this website tend to be a bit more diegetic. The whole debate thing is honestly kinda detached from the story.

>Could the agent be having a debate with any animal or inanimate object then? If it really is a thing with no reasoning then I can't think of a counter to its claim of being not unjust.

Obligatory 'defeating this boss is left as an exercise for the reader'. But yeah I'm not sure if this fight is as strong as the others so far. Oh well, lessons for next time.

alright, now the quest is over feel free to let me know what i did well and what i did poorly

I liked the bureaucratic weird vibe, even if it got esoteric at times

Yeah, I need to reword it.

"This troop and all adjacent allies gain a bonus to Calm and Aim as long as they are adjacent."

No penalties unless they'd have both traits.

That sounds really good! Though I suppose in most missions we're spreading out to use cover.

I don't see any species that have both.

>anything other people want to do during the base phase that isn't in the strictly-defined options?
Interact with, or even just learn about, the other squads. We've got clues constraining the pee bandit's identity but there's no visible list of suspects for them to be narrowing down.

>>136938
This will definitely be addressed the next base phase.

Are C.Org excitement actions the same within a species, or does it depend on the individual? Like, do all Horse corgs get excited from pushing, all Parrot corgs excite from explosions, etc?

Norberg - Daoine monk turned fighter. Even by Daoine standards he is short tempered. Once, he was part of the Holy Order Quadranate and was a disciple of the Four Truths. He could never follow the 2nd one about acts of unnecessary violence. Because of this he was eventually ousted from the order when he had bludgeoned to death all the Gormoamhi raiding the abbey. His strength is more balanced between axe and shield. But when angered, he'll pulverize his enemies with the shield.

Balboran-Daoine healer. He doesn't do magic, but everyone thinks it’s magic. It’s actually drugs. Really powerful drugs that send you to another world while he re-attaches your limbs and shoves those organs back inside where they belong. Unlike other Daoine whose rage turns them into a berserker bunny, Balboran’s rage gives him a panic attack. It might have something to do with all the drugs.

Was looking back at the civquest archives. At some point we lost Sarcra? We got Sarcra in the marriage and it was in our holdings but the next turn it was gone.
Thought I'd ask what happened. Was there a mistake or a mix-up?

>>139040
No I think it was a typo in my own saved spreadsheet. Let me look into that.

So I've recently gotten into the 'extras' of the quest, I like the nsfw but with plot themes. I'm not sure I want to go back and read the mainline quests, the art style of the older ones is a bit hard to look at. Can anyone give me a bit of context for things?

so for now no successor has revealed themself

So sense the torch that is the quest...who will take it up? The torch is still hot, so it wouldn't be easy at all to do. Maybe one would need to make a few small torches to start out with, so one could warm up the to the heat before trying to bear it. Or maybe one should instead start their own fire with torches own flame? So that they can make their own torch that can burn bright, if not brighter then the original? All I know for sure is, if we let this fire sit for long enough, it will go out...

It would have been cool if I could say something like "I got married and had a child before this quest updated" but nah I'm still single
