Event a new ghoul hero has appeared and wishes to join us.

Accept the offer of Necrotic ghoul Reaver(ravager) and his pack?

Apparently he has heard word of us and is most interested. That and his forces can't exactly move as easily as they used to thanks to the whole cold war deal going on between the Bandits and other Ghouls.

last night the main concern was the giant monster feeling railroady with it trying to change how we do things.

then people brought up how our xenophobia was hurting us and i pointed out how it wasnt and we are in line to becomeing one of the dominant forces in the area/ and some people were saying that if we had been trading and been open with the outside world we would have been as strong as the faction that just killed the brood mother. then there was some complaining about how you never got back to us on some trade deals and how the traders havent been here in forever. then peopl were saying that we were being mindless because we made mistakes and there was a bunch of other shit as well

I checked the archives. As for why traders are not showing up the swamp is flooded with ghouls and even new breeds of monster. They don't know how to deal with that well so they're not really showing up. Plus you can trade with the hillbillies why the fuck do you think the reps are there? You just got to trade them something they want.

As for railroady you always got a choice. Its just that the setting isn't static. Things change even if you are not aware of it. Plus you don't even have to do anything about what it says. Its just concerned in its own strange way about Clora'zel and it plans to do something about it.

>>27353404
There is a lot of shit that isn't in the archives because no one archived again at the end

And we did ask to trade with them, and what they would want from us. I asked like 3time and i know someone else asked to. We just never got a response from you

>>27353404

Guess I go through and clear some stuff up from last thread from when I left.

First of all I don't mind if you are playing xenophobic evil fucks. I DO however expect you to be smart about it as that type of play gets you killed REAL fast if you are not. In fact I was happy about the whole not star-guard deal.

Markus left because you were no longer good business. Other heroes too may leave or even betray you. After all they all have their reasons for sticking around...or not.

>>27353475
I posted some of what they had as for what they want I stated what their interested in. Mostly things that kill or you could try offering them something else.

>>27353544
I may end up having to use Richard for that again. His pure SCIENCE take tends to perfect for that sorta thing. Problem is he isn't psionic so really confirm or test out anything that he suspects when it comes to the Hivemind. He has a rough idea despite that problem though.

>>27353582
Well we aren't pure evil. I think we've settled on a neutral "we will expand, you can either join us or perish" kind of thing.Peaceful assimilation is also what will happen to any we temporarily ally with. Betrayal is also a small possibility

>>27353582
Could Marcus come back if we fixed price report up a bit

We also need to ask all of our heros their goals. We know Richards and Prophets and Torg is pretty simple. Let's ask crystal, broodmother, Alexis and the New Ghoul and who ever else

Rolled 49

>>27353791
...your leaning pretty heavily towards evil. Like at least bandits don't mind-rape you into joining them tier evil. As for expansion your not doing it smartly people don't like the concept of hiveminds they will fight real hard to maintain themselves. Your 'assimilation' is terrifying to them and your not nice/clever about it. This makes it even so much worse. The only reason your still around is because you have only dealt with the rejects and scum. Once you are no longer dealing with just them you will perish.

>>27353887
Markus will only return if you are good for business.

Crystal Is meditiating its goal is no know more about the world.

Broodmother goal is to attend to her brood.

Alexis goal merely wishes to hunt and roam.

Necrotic ghoul former Reaver and now Ravager known as Voss was once a member of the most infamous and worst tier of bandit the Reavers. Basically he just wants to do as a the worst tier of ghoulish bandit does. Only recent he got disqualified as Reaver is do them him dying then rising up as a necrotic ghoul with then found himself with a pack. Who despite his best efforts couldn't get rid of said pack so he got disqualified. Something that is he most certainly sore about. After all Reavers have to be solo because their literally so fucking vile that not even the worst of bandits what to work with them.

>>27354120
Well the hivemind will be perfect for crystal dude, cause it is better to have access to ten thousand eyes tha. n just 2

I don't see how we're that evil. As far as doing it "smartly" how would you suggest? We are building ourpsionics so that we may compete with our neighbors, I'm suggesting we work on making our assimilation process a lot more subtle. Fleshbeasts can be mass produced if we get into a serious war. The spiders will help with resources collection and military and research. What else?

>>27354120
I suggest we send that sick fuck on some sort of suicide mission soon, he will destroy our rep beyond repair.

>>27354428
Yeah, I suggest psionic suggestions and broodmother suggestions to help with that

Psionic suggestions won't even 'force' then persay it will just plant and idea in their head that they think is their own. It's the broodmother suggestions that force them

See that's why I'm constantly a proponent of more friendly/not scary tactics.
Everything begins with choice. Even if that choice is at a near unconcscious level.

>>27354514
I don't understand it though, technically nobody of e. For the experienced we can't use it, but for those on who it works why would such tactics be a a bad idea? All we are is offering cake and sitting down to have a nice chat. It's basically the same as asking only giving a little bit of a push.

Subliminal messaging can't be bad when used correctly right? We live with it everyday.

>Smar/tg/uy here

Might i kindly suggest we investigate the tunnels for the hivemind creatures down there that've been poisoning our hivemind from the start? The Prophet is compromised, not in a hostile way, he's just the nexus of the hivemind so he was top priority to get tricked.

Seriously what the fuck did he do to them? They were all elites...

They did and you REALLY need to figure something out about that. Like reasoning with or something. You know figuring out your actions.

That causes strain to the Hivemind. The reason WHY its able to ensure loyalty is due to a stable base. You make that base crumble and it all comes tumbling down. Prophet does what he can.

>>27354591

I was saying we offer first. But we won't get many until we fix our rep, which is why we kill the ghoul

Firstly the ghouls don't hate him, just leery of him.

Look, we need to keep Voss. First of all I'm not sure the "Turn isn't over, we haven't actually accepted him" argument works, but also he will whip our bandits into shape and assure their loyalty.

Also, his loyalty is guaranteed until our rep turns good. Since we don't have any immediate avenues for improving our rep (and because we can send him on a suicide mission as soon as we do) we should take him. The benefits far outweigh the penalties (penalties being nonexistent as we're already worse than his reputation).

No, before that. In the deep swamp

why waste 2 actions on a single thing?

or wait, EDE does spending more than 1 action per turn help us at all?

>>27355317
we never ever attacked the deep swamp, the base we attacked that had the Psionic/tech shield was near the deep swamp but not in it. and i was saying that it isnt as bad as what we did in the situitation with ramona.

but conveniently that is the base that ramona set a nuke off in and flooded with ghouls

Our reputation is because we're hiveminded (moderate-significant negative modifier) mutants (significant negative modifier) who throw their entire military into every action and attack almost all outsiders on sight (significant negative modifier) regardless of how many of our own it costs us (significant negative modifier) use nukes to call forth zombie and ghoul hordes (significant negative modifier) associate with broodmothers (moderate-significant negative modifier) and the list goes on.

Keyword, was. That was until those other bandits struck and wiped our forces.
Territory shifts and changes all the time. You can't lay claim to something unless you actively have the strength to hold it.

Otherwise we might as well say everything in this swamp is ours because at one point in time we controlled it.

these are all work-around-able:

3 of those are just racism and 1 of them is just good tactiics that any smart general would approve of

these are wrong:

I'm a little worried about this.

Marcus didn't recommend a conventional railgun because he'd have to jury rig all the power from a biofacility.
And what with psionic-crystal weaponry being relatively knew science on top of us having to jury rig it without an actual engineer.

No more rolls! Quick!

>>27355727
dont worry, we have a 100 it will be fine

and we know that psionics can literaly hold a behemoth in place so we nkow it has the power

>>27355743
It's not the effectiveness of psionics that concerns me.
Only the reliability of our technology.

Heroic bonus
Our engineers were stuck on it. You know they didn't even have anything but heavy tank railguns to start with much less make it psionic...and miniaturized it. It didn't end well not enough crystals to boot. Only breakthrough occured with the new hero uprooted some crystals, which assembled themselves midair, with some metal spikes molted themselves into rods/clip once he was done mediating and fired it off before looking at our engineers and stated.

"More crystals are required."

After that a crystal throne grew and the new sat down upon, then started tinkering with some floating crystals ignoring our forces.

Meanwhile our forces created more Fixer spiders.

>>27355727
You have engineers they just aren't heroes.

>>27355797

Is that what you were thinking? I was thinking something like a directed lance of psionic power that'll blast whatever it's pointed at.

>it will probably be either a crystalish barrel or 3 or 4 long sticks of crystal that are used to channel force into accelerating a slug at insanely high speeds
You are describing technology.

It's both.

>why do you think that an engineer who has been working on building tanks would have any idea what to do when handed some pcionic crystals
Because that's how you create effective weaponry. You can discover a phenomenon, learn how to activate it, but it takes some technical skill to weaponize it. They see a crystal push an object, someone is gonna need the know how of how to create a configuration that results in a directed force. It took more than a knoweldge of electromagnetism to create conventional railguns at all, you also needed to take into account the other specifications.

Ask the Arch Brood King if we can have send an envoy with him/Clora to maintain communications that will be strictly verbal.

Rolled 61

Richard here

Alright you fucking morons you know some of the problems your oh so precious Hivemind been having? You know how memories and shit are passed around between you? Well guess what that also means the things pass around ALSO fucking taints you. The very thing you are so PROUD of is literally poisoning you. Basically all the major faults/grudges of the previous generations are passed on despite their efforts because its STRONG. You can only block so much. This means you use the benefit being able to change rapidly with the generations. It strangles as their locked in a quagmire. Powerful Hatred, loss ect. is passed on..builds up. Forms a toxic cloud throughout the hivemind tainting EVERYTHING. Which just so happens ALSO works as an excellent smoke screen. Mind blank doesn't do you shit if they just go through use the taint to mask themselves. You would literally never ever know period.

So here are you crazy fucks so very proud of the everything that will lead to your doom. Despite the so called 'benefits' others have to start nearly from scratch since birth. They don't just 'start' with everything they need. They can be influenced and helped but not that is it. While it is slower it also serves to minimize the bad while maximizing the good. That little short cut you are just SO fond is fucking you over. As the problem is it directly carries on the burdens of the old to new. The burdens while seemingly beneficial will eventually break your back leading to you dying so very slowly.

For the reason is simple.

The Grudges and faults of the past are supposed to stay there. Not be carried along with know how/experience just because its easier. Because taking the easy way will always end up biting you in the ass eventually.

Richard out.

Rolled 40

I see. I see indeed.
The sins of the father are visiting our children at a young age.
When we induce our young into the mind, not only do they gain the good they gain the bad of the last generation!

That is how they lose their individuality!

How did I not see this sooner

>>27356909
Instead of growing up to be their own person, they are imprinting life of a previous generation. This includes the baggage that person had.

The only solution is to up the age of hivemind joining. Some kind of rite of passage or adulthood. Each new memor must discover who she is first and then join the hivemind, rather than have the hivemind dictate who they are.

Rolled 60

>>27356909
so we need something to get rid of all those feelings that are just floating around. the good and the bad

Rolled 28

>>27356728
They build, maintain, and repair. Even the most sensitive or complicated of things.

>>27356798
Railguns at the moment are cannon sized and amazingly crude.

>>27356849
The cloud taints everything. It is the very memories you pass on and rely upon. Quite the problem to fix. It basically clouds the entire Memor in a toxic soup...problem is they never realized it because it always seemed to be that way.

The other problem is you being not so smart with plans for expansion and 'assimilation'.
The PROBLEM was literally STARING you in the FACE the ENTIRE FUCKING TIME you just NEVER even bothered to CONSIDER the OBVIOUS or even what supposedly BENEFITS you.

it was beyond painful to witness I might add.

>>27356941
It's not that we can get rid of them, we need our people to develop their own sense of morality, what they believe is good or bad, first rather than the hivemind tell them.
Time will clean the generations, it's the corruption of our youth at such a young agewith previous grudges and hatreds. they need to develop themselves.

>>27356909
>>27356937
And really, to have been revealed this by a character who's name and embodiment is literally "Tabula Rasa" is irony of the highest degree.

Rolled 63

>>27356937
No, because the feelings will still affect the person when they do join. and we lose the benefit of helping our young.

we have to find a way to get rid of the feelings that are just floating around. we need a clean pure hivemind

>>27357017
>because the feelings will still affect the person when they do join.
But this will only worsen if given to children at such a young and impressionable age, whereas an adult will have developed their own feelings AND individuality to counter that.

Rolled 26

>>27356988
be fair, we didnt really get to many hints that we were losing our individuality until that Arch Brood King got here

we need to clear the airways of the hivemind of feelings so that they dont pollute the minds of our members. i just have no idea how we could do that

Rolled 50

>>27356937
Somehow this makes a lot of sense.

If you have the willpower to do it. Adults and adolescents do. Children do not.

I'm not saying we shouldn't try to clean the mind, but what better way to do so than let those grudges die with the previous generation and not pass on?

>>27356941

Yes, shall we have a showing of Oedipus and Antigone for the hivemind to achieve catharsis?

If you are still young you believe without a doubt "hate the bandits" "this is the right thing because everyone believes it so"
Where as if you actually lived your own life you could develop your opinion, your own sense of morality, not just be dictated by them before you've developed into your own person.

Rolled 29

Far better than a child who hasn't even learned what he thinks of those concepts

Not all emotions. Grudges. Stereotypes. Things which are only detrimental to us. We can train our children to resist, supress them in both themselvse and others, such things and better the mind as a whole.

Thinking with emotion over rationality is never the way to go.

>>27357222

We have crystals that can store thought patterns, right? Why don't we have the Prophet shunt all of our hatred into some of those? We'll do it periodically to make sure too much never builds up.

The test of when one can become a Memor will be when they think they're ready to glance, for a moment, into the racial hatred of all of Us. Of course they'd never expose themselves to all of it at once, they'd get to gauge their preparedness based on looking at a sample of hate-crystal first.

Gotta be careful the hate-crystals never animate on us though. Don't want a Tabula Rasa of ULTIMATE HATE AND DESPAIR.

Rolling to see how well that'd turn out.

>> and do you really think that the equivalent of a teenager will be able to resist overpowering hatred or overpowering love?
>Far better than a child who hasn't even learned what he thinks of those concepts
they still wont be able to, infact most teenagers are emotional as fuck. though i dont know how the mutants are but the fact that they used to be human implies that they still o through puberty
>>it would literaly be like the monkish "resisting all emotion"
>Not all emotions. Grudges. Stereotypes. Things which are only detrimental to us. We can train our children to resist, supress them in both themselvse and others, such things and better the mind as a whole.
we are gonna want to have a zero influence policy, we dont want one group to help us and then change and we not realize how twisted they become because we still fucking love them so much.

raionality is better. but emotion is still necessary. and it is impossible to resist emotion forever

>>27357264
Then what more can be done? How do stop it?
Have the prophet research into it?

>>27357292
Good idea

But crystals of pure hatred are some of the most dangerous things we can have.
They could seriously shit up if let loose, and we can't throw them at our enemy. . .or can we?

Maybe we can use the hate crystals to increase the effectiveness of Mass Wrath.

>>27357300
I got it we stop being a hivemind

Rolled 85

>>27357287
exactly

>>27357292
i dont know if they can store thought patterns, it was just said that they can store psionic energy

memor are born into the hivemind, they are just shielded they are old enough.

if we do that then we find a way to purge the crystals or we destroy them.

>>27357231
it is not good to create a problem that you yourself do not know how to defeat

Rolled 34

>>27357350
yeahno

thats our biggest advantage and the only reason we are a hivemind. if would literaly take years of therapy for each memor if you were to destroy the hivemind

Rolled 84

>>27357343
Actually, that sounds like a pretty interesting idea.
Can we let of some steam by fuelling all our grudge and hatred into an enemy or a big rock or something?

i could see creating golems out of them and we "enslave" the golems like they are dijins and use them in battle

Rolled 30

>>27357397
>>27357405
we could just get the entire hivemind pissed and create some more hatred troops.

the enemies face when the kill a bunch of us in a battle and we have the exact number of hatred/crystal troops as the ones we lost in the next battle.

Well, on the bright side if we have a limitless supply of hatred so long as we gather the crystals.

Or better yet, maybe we can invent some crystals that can turn hate directly into energy.

well lets ask the prophet what he suggests

and Richard

and Tabula

and Clora

and the brood king

Rolled 52

>>27357667
I would honestly like to entertain that idea,

Rolled 84

>>27357748
well we'll need the proper amount of crystals first

>>27357672
and Alexis

and Torg (i guess?)

>>27357672
We have Richard and Tabula's opinion.
I would like the Prophet's take. Clora is busy with diplomacy and we know how the Broodking feels

>>27357778
I doubt they would, but if Alexis and Torg can shed some light I'd be pleasantly surprised

Rolled 78

>>27357879
no we have their opinion on it in general, not on a solution to it.

Rolled 34

EDE are you writtin or waiting for conensus?

Rolled 38

I guess we're going to have to stop sharing experiences in the hivemind then. Maybe we can make some crystals to store useful experiences in later, but we have to fix this right now.

Rolled 72

>>27357921
i'd prefer to just purify the hivemind if we can.

lets get the opinion of our heros first

The prophet has already had to censor many things before.

Rolled 65

>>27357672
Richard suggests mindwiping and imprinting.

Tabula suggests...whatever it is he is working on.

Clora suggests truly becoming One

>>27357698
broodking suggests becoming Many

>>27357879
Alexis suggests being forced to go on a long journey to find who they are.

Torg suggests make it go EXPLODE.

Rolled 61

>>27358025
shield and censor are two entirely different things

shield protects the hivemind from something that may harm it or the individual

censor prevents the memor from viewing something because he thinks it's bad


and im assuming that the hivemind knows that the 50 memor were given to Richard. they were volunteers after all, and you dont just have 50 people disapear with no explanation

Rolled 53

>>27358067
So
1.) Mindwipes and imprints
2.) Tabula Rasa's. . .thing
3.) Embrace absolute hivemindism
4.) Tone down on the hivemindism
5.) Individual pilgrimage to create strong self image to overpower negative influence
6.) Thank you Torg, duly noted

Rolled 6

>>27358067
and the Prophet?

Richard: no

Tabula: lets ask what that is

Clora: she wants a traditional hivemind

Broodking: he wants no hivemind at all

Alexis: hahahaha

Torg: just.... just get back to work Torg, we shouldnt have bothered you.

Rolled 21

>>27358076
The Hivemind only knows that they were volunteers handed off to richard and then disappeared. Beyond that...

Semantics.

Alexis' was a joke. she doesnt know she just wants to get out of the place and do some exploring.

speaking of which i say we send her on a long term scouting trip for a few months and check out what the situitation is around the entire swamp. she will bring a handselected group of tectus with her. we expect knowledge of faction/conditions and any and all info she can gather. this will keep her from getting antsy and keep her loyal to us, and we should need her for awhile because we have been fasttracking R&D or a while to come

Rolled 40

>>27358225
if you think the Prophet is a dictator then you have been reading the wrong threads

he helps GUIDE and MANAGE, NOT lead

>>27358248
But he has censored things which would be dangerous to the hivemind. That's the point. It's not being a dictator.

In any case what is the consensus for actions?

Rolled 15

>>27358209
>>27358112
>>27358067
can we get a response from the prophet on ideas to fix this problem. he is the one who has the best chance of solveing it anyway, with him being invloved in the hivemind and psionics so much

and can we ask Tabula what it is (s)he is working on?

Rolled 25

>>27358281
Prophet knows two things.

1 the Current Hivemind needs purged somehow

2 must prevent the bad from being passed on.

As for ideas he doesn't really know.


Tabula is working on memory crystals that will store them. Problem is preventing the bad stuff(such as limiting what you specialize in) or curing the current Hivemind. Also doesn't know if he has enough crystals.

it is not so much "cut the wheat from the Chaff" as it is "get rid of it all". we are gonna want memories and emotions and feelings to be passed in the present but not memories and emotions and feelings of the past affecting us, be they good or bad
