(Sorry 'bout that. I did not know much about how these were done. And thank you kindly for that  )

[Draignean]

Well I may run the turn later today, sooner and more definitely if Powder clarifies his action. In the meantime I've been tackling a couple of quandaries that I was planning to work out in the update. Most notably the problems of armor in the current version (I swear, every time I upgrade the mechanics, armor changes somehow.) wherein the user will simply doff his armor for the next set with a higher current armor value.

Solution: The exact same thing I did with the guns. No more little armor, medium armor, big armor. Now featuring suits of named armor, just like the guns.

(You will be able to exchange your current armor for one that you would have come across prior to this when the update rolls around.)

[Ahra]

... someone should seriously make some kind of book out of this, this thing is freaking Gold.

[Powder Miner]

1. OK I'll do it there.
2. I never said it would succeed. It's just James getting desperate and trying to will it to be that way.

Okay... Getting back and willing it away again.

You might want to consider working a few things out in your head about the fungus, it might increase you efficacy later. In the way that not being dead makes you more efficient.

[Powder Miner]

Not willing away, attempting to will away its ability to do stuff.

Same difference if you don't know what you're trying to accomplish.

[Powder Miner]

Yeah OK whatever.

[Zako]

Well think about it, your not a psychic until recently, and you have never been in these circumstances before. Logically, you probably won't know where to even start, despite it being your head.

Perhaps you should find someone who has more experience in this kind of thing?

[Tarran]

Perhaps you should find someone who has more experience in this kind of thing?

Problem: He's kinda busy not getting his mind screwed over 100%.

[Powder Miner]

I know I have no chance. I just don't care Although the Blight should help.

Hence why he needs help! And of course you have a chance, this is a RTD after all! You always have at least a chance. The trick to to put the dice in your favor by getting bonuses to whatever it is your doing. Maybe that other you might know how your mind works? She is after all a construct of your mind.

[Draignean]

Yeah OK whatever.

I sense irritation in the force...

Let me put it another way. Blight you can hurt, push out of the way, even shape by sheer willpower. It's one of the reason she doesn't get bonuses against your diplomacy checks despite the fact that she's got a decently high will, you WANT her to go along with what you're saying and therefore she is more likely to go along with it.

You=Blight, Blight=You. Thus anything that can affect you can and must effect blight in equal measure, because you are both products of the same mind. Your will is effective when it is focused on something that can be changed by sheer willpower, like your own mind. Even more so when aided by empathetics.

Sample 18 is a very real fungus which is in your very real head. Willing at it is not going to make any difference, because, let's face it, it is a fungus. It has no conception of willpower, all it knows is food and its own crude system of hijacking neurons.
So in short, the only thing your brain has the power to change on will alone are things that are part of itself. The fungus, not being a part of you, cannot be directly affected by a simple act of will.


Now, I'd hoped you (or someone helpful) would think of this sooner, but I'm going to give you a hint.

How was your fungus controlled in the first place, at the very beginning of your introduction?

To be entirely honest I've written the turns for everyone but Taric and you, and I'm mostly done with Taric's, but I'm going to give you a bit more time. Just in case inspiration were to strike.

(That and I feel like hell. I'm not entirely altruistic here.)

[Tarran]

Hence why he needs help!

How is he going to get out of his mind for starters, avoid getting blasted by the Immortals, and get help fast enough from Dom or Taric (because I doubt I could help) before the fungus or something else drives him crazy?

[Powder Miner]

James changed the are of his mind extremely quickly. It had worked last time crap happened to his brain, so...

I don't KNOW ARGLEBLARGLE

wait
Hahaha I'm going to die
