Psionics wouldn't help, we'd get that headache again.

[dragnar]

Hmm... wire each of the CPUs to a cryswarm-1, then have them relay the information to the swarm.

[Aklyon]

you can't go lower than Cryswarm-2, or it disenchants since it has nothing to communicate with.
we don't have that many CPUs. we only have 25-core.

[penguify]

He means wire the CPUs to a few units, and have those units relay the information to the others.

If it doesn't have protecting us as a standing order, we should give it that too.

We might also want to take a page from Paranoia King's book and make them require a password for more dangerous input orders (consume, for now).

What does an individual unit of the swarm look like?

[Aklyon]

individuals look like a plain, glowy crystal.
You add protect Vix to the list, and add "always" to the end of it.

The program writer glitches during the rebuilding with convert and sent to swarm command, and you can't figure out how to fix it. Arg.

[Armok]

Work on making a compact, self sustained and armoured version of the computation settup small enough to be carried around by a swarm.

Work on psionic interfaces to general computers.

After those, make a computer program that lets us imagine any form or motion, translates it into cryswarm comands, and executes it when you think of a blue elephant.

[Lillipad]

Retry adding the protect Vix command. If you fail again use psionics to capture every squirrel within 2 miles of the Crystree.
Once done with that assassinate the leader of the mason's guild.

[Aklyon]

the leader of the mason's guild isn't actually the leader. he's the leader-of-the-week, since they can't agree on most things.

the writer works again, but not the actual sender. arg.

[Lillipad]

Struggle with the sender. Assassinate the leader-of-the-week.

[penguify]

While struggling with the sender, order half of the swarm to kill and crystallize all non-humanoid life in a two mile radius, then return.

And don't assassinate anyone but elves. Seriously.

What's the point of a psionic interface to general computers? There are probably about 5 on the planet, and we don't know how any of the others work.

And as for the small, self contained computation setup, just put this one in our bag of holding when we're done with it.

I agree with most of that. But we're going to have to kill people soon regardless. Might as well begin slowly picking off the mason's guild now, rather than then.

[breadbocks]

No, damnit! Let the masons be! If we killed them, we'd have to do the masonry, and we have more fun things to do.

[penguify]

We'd start with the psion shopkeeper, then order the cryswarm to kill and consume all organic life in the town. But we won't kill anyone, because that might draw the attention of more powerful, malevolent entities (Paranoia King).

[Lillipad]

I was thinking more of just slowly picking them off. One a game week at most until we can use frost-7 like it's nothing.
For now gather squirrels.
What is the highest level of Cryswarm we can control at this point?
