Things are creepy, help me please!

[graveMusic]

Shit is creepy.

Something is following me, hunting me, i look towards the shadows and see something sneaking around, then disappearing.

I am a waste of flow. Land of crystals and rain, so there are constant clouds covering everything with the occasional storm.

I think another player died, or lost their chat thingy, but i am not sure.

Swear i saw an ohgodwhat but i was running around being afraid of all shadows.

I would like to note that I am doing maturity quests so i am not home or in the magicant (haven't found an entrance yet), a bit of hasty information is helpful.

O.k., for simplicity, I'll assume the planet named and described is your own planet, correct? First off, it can never harm you to check to see if the prescence follows you to your friends planets. In addition,you can double-check the life status of players (based on how boring the place is). Since your a waste of flow, it might be related to your cataclysm, which means you should probably ignore it (even though the decision to do so will eventually blow up in your face). Once you've checked the above, try to see if you can't search out Maturity Quests when you feel most afraid, you might get quests that help you be less afraid.

Thanks for the advice. Sorry it took so long to reply, making headlamp and floodlights.

I checked and my friend was just using his phone to pesterchum and dropped it and couldn't find it.

I went to another world and it didn't follow.

Problem was it was also a normal enemy because some idiot prototyped a horror novel. All it does is stalk the main character for half an hour, though, and the other enemies just have on hockey masks and some masquerade masks.

My world also is the only one to have it... okay, never mind, not an enemy, just creepy presense.

Not my cataclysm yet, though. I have a seer and she has a graph and it says we are half way to the cataclysm, so i have a creepy shadow folowing me.

Also i have been having some minor graphical glitches.

Strife occasionally appears inverted like against the nightmare heir, though only in a few lands, consorts occasionally fail to actually have their legs move when they move, and i swear to gog i saw a glowing green imp with five eyes.

Also, one made a crude gesture with one of it's fingers. Abnormal or it just being a dick as usual?

No need to apologize about timeliness, this place as a whole moves pretty slowly. Probably due to most of us being busy trying to not permanently die (I only have spare time thanks to delegating tasks to members of my horde). How far into your Land quests are you? It doesn't sound like it fits in too much with the theme of your land,so it might be some peculiar form of Denizen Damage. As a reverse of my last advice, try bringing someone else to your planet, and see if they see/are effected by the presence.

Minor visual glitches on constructs aren't too uncommon, there are so many of the things that quite frankly, it seems very little effort is put into making sure they work, with the exception of a few quest-important ones.As for the green imp with extra eyes, that is just a "Mutant Imp" normally found in a special dungeon. So either it escaped from said dungeon, or prototyping has made the "mutant" tag available. The extra parts are mostly cosmetic, but they are a bit stronger than normal imps.

Relating to the rude imps: that is, in fact, normal. They seem to try and compensate for their own high mortality rate (including friendly fire) with acts of larceny, vandalism,and general minor acts of disrespect. Don't worry too much about it.

I went through my denezin things as fast as I coul because I wanted to make my consort guys a bit happier.

I ass already us to it's crap.

Andi checked my friend coming and th only one tp also see it was the rain plsyer.

The recent prototype hhing is also because i hhis is a pretty large game

Something is wrong with my chat thingy.

iit is laggy and typing slow.

This have something to dwwith th new dungenn?

And are there mutanr hhgodwhats sppos to spawn? I read a FAQ that mentioned hhem.

And that shadow seems to be moving ittthe light a little more.

[agonyembraced]

Okay, I'm running really short on ideas, a more veteran should be able to give better advice, but I'll try to answer what I can.

The client program problems shouldn't have anything to do with the new dungeon unless you are in it. It gets harder and harder to communicate as you go deeper down it. The only thing i can think of that might be slowing the client down is computer-related stuff, but most game-made computers are oddly powerful and stable.

Ohgodwhats of any type are never SUPPOSED to spawn, it's just a relatively frequent glitch that allows them to do so. If you have mutant imps, no reason you can't have a mutant ohgodwhat.

[graveMusic]

Rain fucked with the chemicals.

My eyes are black. On the upside... rain player.

I can see enemies through walls now.

Oh yeah, took her with me. Seemed like a good idea.

These things are creepy and i did see an ohgodw

Ow!

Fuck!

The shadow can throw shit at me!

Please don't make me a player ohgodwhat!

Need to alchemitize better headlamps now! Maybe with lasers.

Or I could learn some abilities, i have not really been grinding.

[agonyembraced]

Um, while your typography may be better, you somehow manage to sound less coherent.You still o.k.?. What do you mean "my eyes are black"? I can presume the newfound lack of misspellings means you've fixed your client issue? On the bright side, this makes it seem like an easy solution: if the shadow can attack you, then logically, you must be able to strife it back. But yes, abilities would help. Especially since as Flow, you get to a bunch of stuff involving fire, which can help against a darkness based enemy.

Thinking about it, I think I might know what it is, though this is all conjecture. Sometimes a prototyping can give aspect powers. Since it's all shadowy, it might be something that ended up with either Vo d or Doubt powers. Since it seems to be really freaking you out, I'm leaning towards Doubt.That would explain only the Rain player seeing it, but not why it's only on your planet.

[graveMusic]

No. I just typed slow like a turtle.. Shit is still slow.

And by black eyes i maan my eye color part and the white part are completely black.

And I gained a flow ability while fighting these mutant imps.

Sadly it was just [I'm Fly Because I'm Hot], not useful for fighting in the Skaia labs.

And what aspect is doubt? I never heard of it.

I am going to leave the labs. I have enough boondollars for a fraymotif.

This shadow bitch is annoying. I just was afraid because of it's stalking, the whole "nothing is scarier" thing ferar of the unknown.

Going to try aspect freestyling in a friend's wold.

I also stole a dollhouse from the labs.

Why the hell is that there?

[agonyembraced]

O.k., you seem to be handling things better now, thanks for the info. Your previous posts hadn't lead me to know you were actually in the dungeon. That explains your client slowness.So, with that down, onto answers:

1. Doubt is one of the aspects that people started getting more recently, possibly because of a patch to sburb itself, much like several others (Flesh, Sound, Ploy, Stage, and Coins to name a few) . It deals a lot with fear effects, and has many associated glitches with it's stats similar to V id and Mist. Some abilities can only work when you are afraid, and simply bounce harmlessly off if sufficiently steeled against (or otherwise not afraid).

2.To be quiet frank, I have no idea.There are just some stuff in the lab to play with, an that's all there is to it. My closest bet is that since it was on your planet, presumably people actually worked there at some point, and they liked to bring their kids in. Just conjecture, though.Personally, I just nick the stuff and give it to the ecto-babies so they have time to occupy themselves in between genesis and being sent off upon a meteor.

[graveMusic]

My fray motif sounds BADASS!

I am in charge of ectobabying this session.

I am good with kids so i shoulxd be good.

But what do i do if i end up with one that has two heads or something?

Anyways, thanks for that info.

I am going to strife with the shadow and see how that goes.

...

okay, maybe i shouldn't have let rain girl keep some chemicals, shealchemitized an acidic marionette.

Anyways,will update you on the strife afterwards.

[graveMusic]

Two things: One, the bastard was hard to kill but I won (obvious since I am posting this.), two, how do I get a new arm? Seriously. Bastard had something sharp and cut off my arm.

I cried like a bitch being shot with a cannon made of swords until the flesh player used [Tis But A Flesh Wound] on me.

[agonyembraced]

Well, the answer to your question is readily enough apparent in your own post. Turn around to said Flesh player and ask him that same question. If they're good enough, they can make the graft stick permanently. And it would probably be an upgrade from your original, as a bonus. Even if they aren't that skilled, they could make do by just re-grafting new arms onto the spot from the corpses of underlings. Or if you still have the original, you could try alchemizing yourself a mechanical replacement. Or combine those two: alchemize an organic replacement, have your Flesh player graft it on. I had my share bit of experience with this issue myself (well, not flat-out limb loss, but severe mutilation was/is common).

[graveMusic]

Okay, wow. Did not know he could do that.

He left a bit ago before i checked this and holy fuck he came back with a wagon of arms.

I should tell him to just craft it into something, i want a robo-arm!

I assume severed arm && computer will make robot arm?

I hope it can connect and maybe come with me between games. I really hope the former more because I am connecting with an internet enabled hair clip... long story.

[agonyembraced]

Alchemy isn't an exact science, though it usually gets consistent results. And even if it is a limb, alchemized stuff isn't normally carried over when you loop around into your next session. So if you really want a robot limb you get to keep, you're gonna have to either make it the manual way, which takes forever and is hard, or you use even higher-level abilities that modify the properties of objects, then attatch it. Personally, I'd just look at his selection of limbs and pick one. If you don't like it, it's not too hard to swap out.

Little tip: an arm is only as strong as the socket it's connected to, which is only as strong as the structure supporting it. Don't pick one that's too much stronger than the original, pick one that has some unique facet (like wide limb rotation range or toughness) and is a little stronger.
