That's the log. The highlighted part at 21:36:29 is the one I was talking about. Don't know if you guys came to some other conclusion later, but I took that to mean that this is how things are going to be from now on. And that since it is an internal/hidden game mechanic, one that is not needed to be made known to the players, it wasn't mentioned in the "official" armoury page.

I only see a single "what if" question with no follow-up. are you sure that's the log you ment to post?

Yeah, I'm not seeing it. The part you highlighted was from before he even invented the system with the separate brains that have to be bought, far as I can see it. If that is correct, that would make that part... Kinda irrelevant.

Anyways, let's for a sec go with the idea that mindpoints should indeed recharge really slowly. What time frame are we talking then? Cause some missions take a few in-game hours, some a couple days, and once it was a year. So how long a time frame are we speaking for fully recharging? An hour, a day, a month? Cause that's kinda important to know, and nowhere is it apparently written down, even though it's a basic game mechanic. And judging from the fact that pw thought switching brains took a med roll, even though there's several instances of him saying it'd use aux, we might want to start writing down these mechanics clearly, cause he apparently forgets them in the middle of a mission. Had he not told us why exactly the brainswitching went so wrong, I would've lost 13 tokens worth of equipment for no good reason.

Ah, sorry, looks like my memory failed me then. I remembered that was after the thing with the manipulators being brains. And that we were discussing how the new manipulators were going to work. I had to log out so I didn't see how the conversation ended. So you're right, it's very likely piecewise decided something else after I logged out.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Thanks for the logs, Paris. It gave me the info I needed to find the *full* days logs. Which apparently should be in the OOC channel somewhere, according to the logs XD

Spoiler: The relevant part (click to show/hide)

I'll note that 'run out' is in quotes. This doesn't make it clear whether or not PW's statement earlier that day about mind points is active, but I think it makes way more sense as a slow regen rather than something that lets you swap around 2 brains forever without consequence.

My interpretation is that the 'mind points' manip brains have are functionally identical to those that players have, so whatever is true of the player pool of Mind Points is also true of the manip pool. Currently, I think that means it has slow regen that is only really possible to 'top off' between missions, or on exceptionally long missions like the Year-long one. So, resting a brain for a bit will let you take another shot without issue... but it won't let you take an entire fresh brain's worth of shots, which it sounds like is what you were expecting?

Would anyone be interested in playing Cards Against Humanity sometime? My wife found some website where you can make rooms and play.

Nah, I was basically expecting regen to occur at a speed that allowed a used brain to be useful again, even if only partially, during the period of time of a normal mission, but the exact extend I didn't know. I'd be up for whatever, but it'd be nice to know. I guess my main issue is how unclear it all is, evidenced by the fact nobody even really knows how that (basic) game mechanic is supposed to work. And finding out a mechanic didn't work the way one thought it did in the middle of a tense, high stakes mission isn't ideal, to say the least. But, here's hoping we'll find out today when he runs the planet mission actions.

I'd be interested if you can manage to match my timezone.

Also, a custom ER pack could be fun. :P
