I'd do it since Yancy did pretty well last mission, but right now Milno's a bit apprehensive about lending tokens due to what happened the last time he lent someone something (yeah, IC reasons). I might still do it for the former reason, though.

Don't worry, the only way you're out a token is if I get permakilled. My plan is to get a exoskeleton and a Sibilius, and I need the token cause I'm one short. With the Sibilius, exoskeleton, and +2 con, I'm set as the con specialist on any of the missions I get chosen for.

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

If you get 25% of the tokens from the sale of anything you invented, do you get a cut of profits from items based on technology you recovered? For example, will Miyamoto receive part of the profit for sales of anything based off the brain he found?

I sure hope so I would get a discount on any forcefield tech.

I wouldn't count on it, but I don't know much of the situation.

Ian is level 1 with exotic and conventional, so he can go as a soldier with probably higher priority due to low level.
I believe I am level 2 in exotic and 1 in conventional now. I recently spent my level up with +5 in mind and +5 in exo. Though on the charisma, handiwork, and medical side of things I am in the negatives.

I wholeheartedly disagree with the concept of paying to use the pill machine.

Firstly, it means newbies cant maim themselves because they need to buy gear first.
Secondly, its prohibitively expensive for science. Your gonna need a lot more than 4 pills to figure this out.
Thirdly, people already need to buy ingredients. Charging to use it as well limits what ingredients they can afford.

Charging someone for already scienced pills i can understand, but science should always be free.

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.

*applies fallacy filters*
After all, the last time someone payed to use the pill machine it was Grate. And we know what happened to Grate.

Oh that's good, you're good.
But I'm better.
*Applies Fallacy filters*
Sorry, but you just fell prey to an anecdotal fallacy, so that can only mean that your conclusion is false! And besides, if Grate already made a mistake, and everyone learns from prior mistakes, then no-one can make a second mistake!

According to a large part of United States education on WWII, 'lest we forget' is an important tenet of how we avoid repeating mistakes made before in history, ie we gotta remember what happened all the time, and preferably wear little pins to showcase the fact that we remember the thing that happened, or medals if they're shiny enough. Does anyone wear Grate pins/medals?
I think not.

Ah ha, that would make sense, but think about this, have there been any more incidents with the pill machine since Grate?
I think not! So Grate was simply an outlier in the situation.

I must question this. After all, Grate was only the last pill incident we know of. There's only been one person who's had access to the pill machine in the whole time since Grate - Miyamoto. Can we think of anything strange that's happened around him?

Think about it. Dude's 19 or 20. It just ain't natural that he'd be that competent in making decisions and running an entire rebellion. Now I'm not accusing our glorious leader of taking command pills...
except that's exactly what I'm doing.

Yeah, I agree with this, and I believe I have already voiced as much. Token fee means no entry for newbies, and they are the most suited for this; and Miya's supervision already clears away Grate-chance.
