For the record, if any of you had ever forgotten that Droog was the counterpart to Pickle Inspector... Hussie hasn't.
But... Those were Ace Dick's "lines."

I thought Hearts Boxcars was PI's counterpart. They both smacked PIs down in the fight scene.


Also, I've started writing sheet music for Unlabeled Record.One day when it's finished, I'll post it.

DD was talking about how shitty everyone else's imaginations were, to reflect PI's naturally high Imagination stat.

So, whoever "general power boost" was correct.

I hope he gets his own special move at least.

I didn't realize there was a 1-1 correlation between the midnight crew and the investigators, since there are only three investigators.  I guess Ace Dick is mirrored by both Hearts Boxcars and Clubs Deuce?

(Also, my friends and I change our steam names to play Payday: The Heist.  I'm Clubs Deuce)

I don't think there's rules or a 1-1 correlation. Hussie's just playing it by ear, as more often then not. Later, if he likes, he will find a rule that explains his previous actions and state it.

I think there's a pretty solid correlation between the Midnight Crew and Problem Sleuth characters, with them serving as foils for one another:

Spades Slick and Problem Sleuth:
Both like knives and leadership, but PS is all about charisma and diplomacy, and SS is the farthest thing from a people person.

Diamonds Droog and Pickle Inspector:
Both are clever and have a disconcerting gaze, but while PI is silly, awkward, and irreverent, DD is cold, calculating, and very concerned with his self image.

Clubs Deuce and Ace Dick:
Both are bumbling characters oblivious to their ridiculousness, but while AD is subdued and reserved, CD is over the top and always cheerful.

Hearts Boxcars and Mobster Kingpin:
Both are big cruel bruisers, but while MK has a clever streak, HB is just a loveable head-eating mook.

What general power boost?

Nothing happened.

I think it depends on how you parse "Taking on these wild appearance modifications just for a little boost in power always struck you as tacky."

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Yeah, I took that to mean he was going to get a little boost in power without wild appearance modifications.

I took http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006845 as a fairly obvious sign that it did *something* to boost him.
Ninja'd by update, though.

You know, it DID remind me a lot of The One Ring. Complete with destructive power in the hands of the Enemy.

Huh, it's Red Miles after all. Now is that a Dersite power or a ring power? Or a Dersite ring power?

I'm currently hoping PM will show us a Prospitan alternative.

Me too, and it should be mail/communication based.  "Information Superhighway"!
I'm assuming it'll be a benevolent power, since she doesn't have much need for an area attack like Red Miles.
