Hey, PW, does our Limbo mission count as a second mission?

Yes, it does. Well, for a second level-up, anyway. That was the deal.

((Or we are dangerously misinformed otherwise. Which also happens occasionally, I'm afraid.))

I'm just wondering because for Lucricia and a few others, they don't really deserve a level up, they haven't done anything.

There was canonically a guy who made it 8 missions by sticking by the shuttle and waiting. Sure eventually his teammates shot him, but he did it for that far.

I think that doing little and letting others do most of the mission and take most of the risks is a valid strategy, one that should be worth equivalent level ups.  It's just not very exciting, however.

@Xan
I don't exploit things any more!  I just play in an optimized, entirely fair fashion.  Primarily by asking if I'm allowed to exploit things before doing so.

@Execute
Every single one of Saint's levelups was gained despite doing nothing.  He's still got +4 Aux at the moment.

Please explain how someone without an Aux score can earn the levelup? Because other than sabotaging the ship through incompetence or faffing about doing nothing until it ends one way or the other, there is precisely jack shit for us to do right now. Everyone who doesn't have the Aux to be useful is in stasis, now, to boot; and you can't take yourself out of stasis, either.

Secondly, levelups aren't earned. They've never been earned; when a mission completely fails and Steve strips you of even the basic token payment, you still get a levelup. (Simply being there inside the quantum field causes your character to mutate. :P)

Thirdly, this whole Limbo thing is only happening because a majority of us agreed to trade guaranteed safety for that levelup, if you recall.

I know, I know, I was the first guy to vote for it, it just feels weird.
Keep in mind, I'm not complaining or anything, I just wanted clarification for if Lucricia could go on that hunting trip through the Sword.

I'll probably take a stab at it soon, turn after next.  A couple stat points could come in handy.

Hmm The limbo thing is a problem isn't it?

We'll get tokens for this Limbo mission as well?.. :o I guess it's a fully official mission at this point, then.

@syv: I saw you added the double pew variant of the asaultsuit. Thing is, I remember a lot of (council) talk about it, but I honestly can't remember if there ever was a conclusion to that. Do you have a link to where you found the details of what you added?

If you bring me the metallipede alive and well, I promise to not murder anyone if and when I escape from the mission 24 tesseract.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.
