But I don't think there are any tears left. Except for the one that contains Alarith's character. And I doubt he wants to be a pill.

Maybe someone will get lucky and find some in a Nyars box.

I just wonder what the expected life of the pill machine is. Or if it even still works right.

If pills can be dissolved in liquids and retain functionality then i dont see why the claymore wouldnt work, especially if you converted them into liquid capsules prior to placing them in the claymore. Itd take some tweaking to get it right of course.

If they do that, might as well make a straight aerosol out of them and put 'm in a grenade. Lot's of FUN combo's there. Like a pill that induces rage (e.g. Serotonin inhibitors). Happy teamkilling. Or a pill made from a nuke (happy exploding).

Or use a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, mix it with something like hydrazine sulfide or another monoamine oxidase inhibitor (or any number of other things), and say hello to serotonin toxicity - much worse than low serotonin. Hypomania, sure, but also such wonders as hallucinations, hyperthermia, hypertension, tachycardia, myoclonus (that's a kicker, pun unintended), and hypereflexia. Leave 'em twitching with a dangerously high heart rate, overheating, and suffering hallucinations on top of all that.

Timmy Tear pill!  It still needs to be done!
That's just asking to have another Grate9-like incident if you ask me. This time without any AM's to save our butts.

So yeah, maybe try to figure out how it works first. Rigorous testing trough the scientific method.

If the goal is to get your enemies to fight each other I'm not sure reducing them to a twitching ball of misery will net you the best results.

Probably still pretty funny though.

If you're going to mess with brain chemistry, do it in a fun way. Besides, even the SSRIs alone can do some pretty weird things in the wrong dosage, without even going into overdose range or introducing stuff like MAOIs.

Opinion on fun may differ, of course.

Im not sure turning a teammate into an evil wish granting genie is a good idea, they might want you to... rub things...

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.

Also, interesting to know you're from Queensland.
This means I can stalk you without too much in the way of travel expenses! :))

Well, not the worst, but it's certainly the worst in Australia.
For one, most of it only applies within Queensland, so your scores get shitted if you go overseas/to another state.
For two, it's highly dependent on the ability of others (unless you top all of your classes), which pulls you back should they fail.
For three, it's tied into QCS, which is an unfair test in which private schools basically know all the answers before it starts.
*flips tables in homicidal rage*
Why can't everything be individual tests?
I'm a bit fuzzy on what you mean by 1 and 2.
Are you saying that they basically teach you stuff that no one else cares about at the expense of stuff they do?
Are you saying that they pass or fail whole classes at the same time?
And while I'm at it, what's the QCS about?

It's more like the qualification you get (an OP) is less useful once you cross the border. Your OP is also directly linked to your fellow students, because if your class is terrible as a whole (and you don't top the subject), your OP goes down.

Ah yeah, Queensland Core Skills test. It's not very fair, because private schools hire tutors to teach their students how to easily ace the test, whereas state schools are left in the dust. What's more, it's highly dependant on everyone from your school doing really well, otherwise say goodbye to the high-tier OPs.

For someone aiming for a OP 4 (OP1 being the best in a scale of 25), the system is murderous.

Also, interesting to know you're from Queensland.

...Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get my Class B firearms licence renewed.

((No, I will screw up, it's only a matter of how. Stupid willpower rolls.))

Piecewise doesn't roll for Willpower for every action. The fact that you had a Will roll at all means that there is something actively trying to fuck with us. Considering that no one else on the cult mission seems to have had trouble with their actions so far, I would guess it can't affect all of us at once.

That said, since you have a -1 to Will, there's a 33% chance that you'll roll a 1 or a 0 if it targets Lerman again. Which will probably either temporarily turn him into a hostile NPC, or leave you in control of him but seeing the rest of the team as cultists or cops or something. Your next action should probably involve charging a dynamic Will bonus.
