Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

[Shaper47]

This all seems so crazy to me. This is a Name. A Name!

It's so. Damn. Cocky. To think that no, we're not going to need +40 to our combat over the next 3 turns. Or have to do another defense of our home. Or get an Edge Sacrament in a straightforward, no-risk-of-death, manner. Or have any task that could use Equestria's best combatant, by a long shot.

Especially since he costs zero bits to keep around.

I dont disagree but then we spent his action doing graverobbing. Like I said, I'd be okay with a Long Monster Hunt for 100 bits, but 180 bits is just too much when we have nothing to spend his action on next turn that uses his strengths. And the Forge Name is also a Name, y'know? I dont want to delay getting the Forge Name because the Forge Name can give us lessons, can let us work towards befriending them, as well as just generally being more useful when we're in a period of "try to grow as fast as possible within the few months of peace we have left". Biedde isn't as useful now that Copper is dead and "assassinate Celestia" isn't a way to fix the Celestia problem (selene would... uh... stop being our confidante if we did that this pre-emptively). If Biedde or Forge name has to budge to make it work then Biedde is clearly the weaker link of the two, so we need a plan that uses Biedde profitably and doesn't delay Forge Name if you want to keep him.

I agree using him for grave robbing was a sad day. I definitely don't want to gamble we'll have no decent use for him over the next three turns.

We could do the Sacrament this turn! I find it hard to imagine we can't fit in 1 bonus AotL for a ~70% chance of victory...

You know we could push the envelope and see how much it comes back to bite us if we just have Rarity do two commissions in a row... she'd have to focus on her career on turn 23 but like... we need bits. Rarity makes bits. Rarity is a Minion whose soul price we've paid thrice over. That lets us pay for Biedde, Book Expedition, SH hike, Forge Name, and maybe a couple of cheap no-reagent rituals on top? Even if we're just borrowing the bits from future turns and we dont do another commission till turn 25 it'd be well worth it.

Or we could just no pay bits to Biedde when we can have him stay for free.

Of people wanted to pay him maybe they shouldn't have thrown away 900 bits.

You know, why don't we upgrade Rarity into a Seeker? Sure, she wouldn't be able to go with us on the All in Expedition, but would we even want to risk Rarity there if she is so weak? I certainly wouldn't. Upgrading her may even bring in more money, so I say we should teach her.
