    Lol. Wasn't prodding you to "UPDATE NOW!11" though I see how it could have been construed that way.

    I was expecting way more discussion but it just fizzled out. Guess only salt and waifu wars can motivate the playerbase. :V

    My quest doesn't get a whole lot of discussion in the thread unfortunately. Partly that's because of the discord existing, but even factoring that in, it seems a bit low.

    Know it might be meme-y. But really need to Jibril? Or angelic wise, get into Angel Soul Vore at some point. Imagine all those humans given salvation, in being 'one' with her perfect booty?

    Hey to persist. With a hell knows how long since this last post.

    But I'll owe you a favour on writing. If you ever have your Angel Waifu damn people to eternity within her bowels, as a substitute to VIOLENCE.

    Did we ever get a response for "how are so many people using sub-TL50 civillian infrastructure when anyone a tenth of our size can go to Alzone and get a huge multiplier to their economic productivity"?

    But wait, P-P fusion only deletes 0.7% of the mass... Our destroyer must convert >130 tons of hydrogen into helium every hour, just to run the main gun. Firing for a week would burn through 22.5 kilotons of fusion fuel, even ignoring other demands.

    Of course, that's not a big deal for a ship that masses almost half a gigaton... But it's interesting to think about.
    inverted_helix
    inverted_helix
    It's an interesting thought. Though keep in mind that would require continuous firing at maximum rate that whole time. I don't think that's a realistic scenario.

    Each frigate was carrying something like 9 megatons of fuel. So the amount going to the reactors would be a relatively small drain on that. Though keeping in mind the most common fuel would likely be methane instead of H2, the actual mass of fuel consumed could be like 4x higher. The destroyer probably has a proportionately larger amount of fuel to its mass, so 90kt is going to be tiny.

    Hey, dunno if you're into it. But I've made a long overdue, sincere update on a Vore Jumpchain. And though draft wise, I've given quite a bit of polish since then. I have a feeling that it could still do with some expanded ideas, if possible?

    *Also noting, he did a massive polish on the "End Game" Drawbacks.
    inverted_helix

    Well I feel like the jumpchain format isn't really a good one for this sort of thing, but I am interested. 45 pages is pretty crazy for a cyoa though. (I know a few are longer, but more typical is like 3 pages.) So I'm doubtful it needs even more ideas.
    Lemonbarb
    Lemonbarb
    In my case (so far.) It just needs polish. (Maybe more/less.) And I suddenly had hit with a brainstorm to make an entire PAGE out of just one companion (or in cases, drawbacks.)
    Lemonbarb
    It's near Christmas, and already I'm half tempted/hued in considering a take on a Succubus Quest myself. Give or take, a possible take on life force/soul sucking here, casual upgrading from draining the traits of others there... :p

    Eh, dunno. Maybe I'd do some snippet on this?

    Eh, either way. If in particular detail you want me to do say, something...

    Dunno if it'd be a promise I'd keep. But if you have say, a possible 'freebie' grade snippet you may want me to cover, succubus themed wise. I'll see what I can do. ;)
    Lemonbarb
    Lemonbarb
    Either way, I'll likely end up reading that quest again at some point, of yours. If only to in nice hue detail, see how you handled Soul Vore/Absorption in general. Inspiration wise. ^,^

    *Edit: Thought I didn't replied here, but I did. So...*

    Eh, either way. No promises, but if you have ideas for a snippet, PM me it, especially if uh, succubus focused, and hopefully that will serve as Christmas inspiration for me. ;)

    That said, in frank honesty. I find it a struggle thinking of how to do even 'a' sex act well, without flubbing up.

    Drunken idea for Soul Absorption...

    Help! I'm a Dungeon Core! And I can't get enough Adventurer Souls to sate my hungering addiction for Humanity!

    *Cue the adventures of an addicted Dungeon Core. Willing to massacre humanity to have one more human soul to learn/absorb!

    Oh please. Dungeon Town end result. Is it's merely harvesting souls. Er, making it a "cosy fallout" for Monsters to be dedicated in protecting a Bunker, where it's safe... outside of those genocidal empires, and worse; "Adventurers".

    Mainly, more bias on the monster cultivation end, than adventurers. But hey, farming logic. On how it could be trying to grow under a "Farmer" mentality, instead of the "Hunter/gatherer" logic. With possible side of "AI Logic/sapience" going... halpful, at best? :3

    Ah so you mean with intelligent monsters that also make a town. So that means the monsters would raise crops there and it would actually have farms? It could definitely be interesting.

    The RKKV radiator bit is a point I keep overlooking -_-

    In regards to being forced to fight in realspace; we can just jump a proportional force to whatever layer the enemy force is in, or if they present a weakness defeat them in the higher layer and gain initiative/positional advantage.
    inverted_helix
    inverted_helix
    Any realistic attack on a system has to bring enough mobile forces to potentially overwhelm the enemy fleet + forts. In such a circumstances it doesn't favor the defender to engage without their forts for support. So they're forced to keep the bulk of their forces in real space with their forts.
    inverted_helix
    inverted_helix
    They can send token forces and parasites higher, but if they move their main force elsewhere they'll be defeated in detail.

    Then to fight them the attackers main force has to be in real space.
    Persimmon
    ASC might be a trap option, given that some of the higher tech polities (than Alzone) wouldn't consider us humans anymore.

    Feels like the voters are going to take us there, though, especially with his *nudges*.

    Well if you really want to influence the planet results, maybe you could write an omake and then spend a fate point, assuming that system is still in effect.

    Any thoughts/comments/questions? Really not inclined to write another omake if this just gets ignored by Shaper...

    Hey. I can't help but wonder if you'd be thinking of possibly doing some new Succubus quest in the future, so to say? Because I feel we need more honest types of lewd succubi, indulging in their actual hunger.
    inverted_helix
    inverted_helix
    I have contemplated other variants on Succubus quests in the past, though honestly some of my choices in the 40k one mortify me now for how stupid they were.

    I've mostly been discouraged from writing anything because I can never keep it up in the long run. I'm admittedly considering a new quest right now despite that, but it's a SFW one.
    Lemonbarb
    Lemonbarb
    Eh, either way. In my case, there's countless times and things I'd wish to be able to write. Give or take, either a short/string of stories, or a quest. But alas, real life and voter base can end up well, soiling things.

    Eh, maybe I'd seriously go and just make a thread for just random ideas?
    Persimmon
    Are there any other quests like ShaperV's last few attempts? They don't have to be on QQ.

    Honestly I get the retconning and balancing. Building a functional game system is *hard*. You can't predict the issues very well in advance. So some exploits have to be sealed up as you go. But so far his retcons have continuously made our build worse without any mitigating buffs. That's what annoys me.

    We should get some sort of buff to make up for all these nerfs to our build.

    Well the main thing I wanted to say was that college spends a lot of time on indoctrination into their ideologies these days instead of teaching you useful skills.

    I also feel that colleges teach you a lot of skills that aren't really useful outside of college.

    Hey. I shouldn't have to say this, (and it's kind of sad that I have to) but thanks for being rational, reasonable, and well informed (or at least able to learn/debate/discuss) and willing to compromise.

    Hmm you might raise that point to him about the automaton.

    Though it's also possible that the two ton mech doesn't have any space of the right shape for it. A horse's barrel would allow you to fit a unit of higher volume.

    If it turns out there's no power unit either, then I'm going to go with it definitely being wireless electricity instead of electric computer brain.

    You should add rubber to your list, rubber trees take years to grow, even if we built a giant hothouse for them.

    I also wrote up a small sample list of alloying ingredients for specialty steels earlier
    inverted_helix
    inverted_helix
    Hmm don't remember seeing the alloying ingredients list you had.

    Rubber is a bit of a point, but we can get mature rubber trees for that, or produce synthetic substitutes. I don't think we can buy and store enough to effectively permanently fill demand like we can with aluminum for instance. Added it to the list though.

    Nuclear mecha exist, but so do coal fired mecha. Mecha to all appearances don't really require much in the way of power here. For that matter the Russians analyzed his nuclear mecha and deemed them uneconomical. I wouldn't be surprised if the nuclear reactor in the mecha takes up more space than the coal power plant in a normal one given that.
    inverted_helix
    inverted_helix
    Plus nuclear reactors don't scale linearly to power output, so you can't get 1/10th the size and 1/10th the power. Increasing size increases power output more than linearly, but this also means they don't shrink nearly as effectively for smaller output.

    While true, its not like an airship requires stupid amounts of power as well. Anyways, we've been arguing in circles and restating the same point; the only thing I've managed to push across was that aircraft have already managed to stay airborne (IRL) for over two months.

    Let's just agree to disagree (for now).

    ah fair enough, honestly i'd just pick the mini one, then work on way to absorb them when their not being used for lewds/floating around in blues boobs to breastfeed clair.

    Can see where your coming from though, was kind of a bummer to have it just thrown out like that due to people deciding to spam math at the QM.

    I don't understand why he decided that in the end. No one was arguing against the skill, just debating numbers for it.

    The mini spell isn't the same at all because it requires Claire to cast it. It's something she decides rather than Blue.

    Also loss of ability to act as inventory is kind of sad too.
    Irked
    Irked
    Agreed, was a bit out of the blue that he just decided to scrap it seeing as it would of been so useful.

    Think part of the problem was that people kept talking about making rooms/dimensions out of it when all we needed it for was prisoner and item storage.... then people started planning out the dimensions of a room based on how many people we can absorb then it just went downhill from there.
