It should be a much smaller gradiant, prolly with either breakpoints or alternating buffs/debuffs 02-01-2022 07:27:09 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: I mean, I don't want odd levels to be worse or something 02-01-2022 07:27:40 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: and a 5 speed physics breaking superhuman being merely 3 times faster than 0 speed feels wrong 02-01-2022 07:29:02 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.khw.uyx: 0 - combo debuff, one action. 1 - no debuff, one action. 2 - combo debuff, two actions. 3 - no debuff, two actions. 4 - combo debuff, three actions. 5 - no debuff, three actions 02-01-2022 07:29:54 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.khw.uyx: And if you aren't okay with the strongest players being only three times as fast as the slowest players... that in itself might be a problem. 02-01-2022 07:30:33 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.khw.uyx: That's already a pretty extreme advantage, since actions can also be considered decent proxies for "how much do you get to play the game?" 02-01-2022 07:36:51 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: I feel like each level of every other stat also increases your options a bunch 02-01-2022 07:39:40 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: gaining a debuff for getting a level feel really odd 02-01-2022 07:40:27 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.khw.uyx: How I like to think of it is pushing yourself to go faster than you can really control. But yeah, it's not ideal. 02-01-2022 07:41:08 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.khw.uyx: Having two action types would also work. Level 0 just gets a normal standard action, level 1 gets a standard + swift, 02-01-2022 07:41:22 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.khw.uyx: Level 2 gets two standard, 3 gets 2 standard 1 swift, etc 02-01-2022 07:41:46 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.khw.uyx: With swift here meaning something like "half action". 02-01-2022 07:41:57 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: for the first four stats, having a 1 means you're boring and having a 0 means you suck 02-01-2022 07:42:34 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: and I don't know how to balance "you suck" speed in a way where it doesn't mean you'll probaly die unless you do some crazy stuff with your other stats 02-01-2022 07:43:04 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: I was figuring that 1 action *was* basically half action 02-01-2022 07:43:54 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: so that plan is essentially the same as it was but increasing the baseline, right? 02-01-2022 07:44:21 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: well, say they're action points, at 0 you have 2 and each level thereon gives you 1 more 02-01-2022 07:44:28 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: up to 7 02-01-2022 07:44:29 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.khw.uyx: Higher baseline and making it explicit that 0 speed is Very Bad would work, I guess 02-01-2022 07:45:54 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: ok 02-01-2022 07:45:54 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: Speed 02-01-2022 07:45:55 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: How fast you go. Really, it's as simple as that. Speed plus two equals the number of actions you can do in a combat round. Test Speed to move or react quickly. 02-01-2022 07:45:55 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: 0: Lumbering.

Better hope you deliberate correctly. 02-01-2022 07:45:55 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: 2: A normal, boring level of speed. 02-01-2022 07:45:55 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: 3: You move and react with a trained ease. 02-01-2022 07:45:56 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: 4: You can be hard to track when moving. 02-01-2022 07:45:56 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: 5: You seem to disappear and reappear, moving faster than you can be seen. 02-01-2022 07:49:38 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: mrrr 02-01-2022 07:49:44 < ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com: I gotta sleep 02-01-2022 07:50:18 < syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.khw.uyx: Goodnight 02-01-2022 07:54:42 -!- ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds] 02-01-2022 13:06:14 -!- syv!GreatWyrmG@107.87.khw.uyx has quit [Quit: FuckAT&T] 02-01-2022 15:32:13 -!- Stopped log service 02-01-2022 15:32:44 -!- Started log service 02-01-2022 15:32:49 -!- parisbre56[Away]!parisbre56@176.92.qi.wnn has joined #einsteinianroulette 02-01-2022 15:32:49 -!- Topic for #einsteinianroulette: Fleshorrors dream of feline BASS 02-01-2022 15:32:49 -!- Topic set by syv [Saturday 22 May 2021, 04:44:55] 02-01-2022 18:36:14 -!- ER!ER@444-989-172-914.res.spectrum.com has joined #einsteinianroulette 02-01-2022 20:04:46 < Devastator!chatzilla@ceva-1v8oi1om6iu6g8tcmqkox9t8h.ipv3.telus.net: How's paranoia going, ER?
