Why would he need to plan everything in advance to do that?

[LordSlowpoke]

a gm is perfectly capable of fucking with people even if the game has no plot or plan to it

src: self

actually i would be surprised if the rolls weren't fixed just to fuck with us a little bit more (i am accusing nobody of anything)

[GreatWyrmGold]

I've never understood why (or believed, for that matter) people create characters or events or whatever to include in their game and then roll some dice and go 'Oops, result is bad, guess I'm throwing this idea out'. IMO it's much more likely that FFS planned everything in advance and is just fucking with us. >_>

Right. Because somehow he could get what this steaming crazy-pot would do.

It happens. And you know what? Warrens has the feel of something that was, save for some core details, made up on the fly, not something that was painstakingly made up beforehand. Exhibit A:

((A little experiment to keep me awake through five [seven?] days of testing. No updates to my other games until tests are done then this will likely die.

I'm willing to bet good money that, as much effort as he's been putting into it lately, claims that TWoOtA was all planned out in advance at any point in time are less plausible than such claims for Star Wars.
Exhibit B: Al. freeform clearly said that he was never supposed to be more than a random background NPC, until we critted the recruitment roll.
Besides, he was perfectly fine throwing out old Ciro. And new Ciro doesn't have that much in common with old Ciro.

And new Ciro doesn't have that much in common with old Ciro.

Depends on which Ciro you are talking about.
Whether you talk about the Original Ciro( or whatever the first incarnation of the Target was called), Ciro the OK, or Ciro the Reborn; Ciro the Reborn has to have at least some comparison to the Original; considering the memories that leak back into Ciro's psyche.

He has a loot table, every single room or so,he rolls a random number; which corresponds to something on the loot table.
We rolled a Yaos, so Yaos appeared. We probably rolled an Oric after the Polaris fight, causing Oric to appear.

Yaos was still the best party member, considering his strength, allusions to the OS, humbleness, and willingness to die

Warrens is planned out in advance on the fly.

Comprehensive update tomorrow.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Pretty much what I guessed.

Nice avatar.

Yay, updates!

Yay, update!

Spoiler: Sudden Revelation about scarecrow (click to show/hide)

The scarecrow. Is Seraphim. Six wings=Seraphim


According to Wikipedia's list of Seraphim, only a single Angel's name starts with the letter E.

Eremiel, or Jarahmeel, "who is over the abyss", or "He who watches over souls in the underworld"

This has been your funfact of the day.

Not insane enough of a theory, try harder.

[Elephant Parade]

Wait. This means that Yaos did not see the shopkeepers.

There are a number of possible reasons for this:

0)FFS messed up. Pretty unlikely.
1)They didn't even appear. Maybe they only appear to the person currently affected by the Astral Influx?
2)Yaos didn't see them as people. Pretty reasonable, but still a bit odd.
3)Yaos took a path that had NO characters whatsoever. Probably the most likely choice.

I wonder how he got down to DL2? Perhaps there was another set of stairs?

Too bad we can't ask him. Next time we Oversoul, we should consider trying to summon Ghost Yaos.

[javierpwn]

Wait. This means that Yaos did not see the shopkeepers.

Moreover, Yaos doesn't consider the shopkeepers to have souls, or to truly be people, which may be accurate, because last I checked, most people don't have the capability to shoot lasers out of their eyes and be omnipresent

Idea thief.

I'm guessing "shopkeepers" also includes other service providers, in this case. I wonder if they're Illborn?

[javierpwn]

I think they are clones, clones outfitted with weaponry and ideas of capitalism....
No who else do we know that owns the most "successful" shopkeeping stand in the Warrens.

Spoiler: hint (click to show/hide)

Oric clones himself with Soulless shopkeepers; the true reason why Cain said he couldn't die, was because when he dies, he takes the body of another one of his clones.

Beware the merchants, they're more than they look. Their money has a purpose, that which they took.
Capitalism has a point, its own personal nook. Avoid the Merchant, do not bait His hook.

ssshhhhh, don't speak that way, or the Lord of the Angels might hear you!
And they might recruit you for having similar ideologies, specifically for not liking Merchants, and by association, Oric!!
