Wonder what would happen if multiple high level players with multiple amps were there. Would the result be something as powerful as the AM? Also wonder what happens if one of the players goes idle or makes a new char.

My current plan: outlast the other players and become sole holder of awesome body.

How does Thad's debt work, anyway? I'm a bit unclear on that.

I imagine that would just be one mind going idle, effectively being one less person fighting for control of the body.

But what happens for example to the minds that were subsumed originally? Can the body use their stats and memories? Or are they lost forever?

Considering that PW said I had to get a new character, I assume that Anita and the other guy are gone forever.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

...I kinda like this new development. Well, sure, it robs me of the Chief from my mission team, but nonetheless this is interesting. Though now I wonder whether I'd be able to cut out (with the Cursed Knife, no less) different brains. Oh well.

Anyway, I don't think this changes much for anomaly mission: the loss of Chief would be met unhappily but stoically; we're even back to acceptable mission team size with that, so that's fine. Everything's fine.

I'm just going to sit there and stay and wait, either giving you advice or helping you other wise. I think you be the primary mind, and Henk be the secondary.

I just realized that Henk actually has multiple personalities now, where he was kinda faking it before. Is that ironic?

probably lost forever. Mind stats are retained individually, so whoever has control uses their mind stat.

This turned out unfortunate. The Gestalt is way powerful now, and has six people's items.

...

and to think, this could have happened in the briefing room, with nearly everyone.

Chief's assigned to M21, and Thad's assigned to M22, so which mission is the Gestalt Being going on?

There's still Thad and Duncan, though. This is a four-way arrangement, you know. So best to exchange controllers when needed - for instance, if Thad (who's the best-rounded and best at avoiding mental danger) was to need to medicate or punch someone, he lets you do it - if he needs to do any handiwork stuff, he calls up Chief or Duncan, and if he needs to talk to people, he might use Chief rather than try to get through himself. That is, if we ever need to talk to people in the first place, which is somewhat unlikely.

Anyway, as for what mission we could go to, why not the silent allies (M22, right?) - seems like a giant amped-up meathead could be useful there.

The real question is how long it'll take for the Minmax Crew to get their hands on one of those candies and use it to minmax the shit out of everything.

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

I have the ebst medic skill and am decent with weapons all around, perhaps I should at least help with medics. So I will be the medic mind.
