Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Shannon]

Hey Shannon, I had a few questions if you don't mind.

(1) Since you'll be working on the focus fire subs soon have you decided on which ones you will be making? Like if its a combo if it will be US/LM or US/UM?

I know I want to make US/LM. I have also been contemplating attempting to make a sleep aid upgrade, but that's not a certainty at all. Aside from that, haven't had a chance to think about it or do anything about it yet.

(2) I remember you saying reality bending makes it so that what was impossible before happens and it happens a lot more often. In regards of what this would mean for the LM of the combo (if you go that route) that the "lucky" occurrences will probably be more improbable lucky incidences if properly executed?

Reality bending is designed to create a situation in which you make certain adjustments that result in the goals of the program. It's aimed not so much at magnifying the effects of the program, but the effectiveness of the program in achieving its goals. It is for the most part ASS/ART. The magnitude of "luck" is handled by something else.

(3) You already mentioned before that 3.3 will be more focused on the affected side of things (improving the aura, energy sourcing, etc). Will you also be focusing on adding as many as possible of the 130+ metrics you discovered that women use for basing their attraction on?

I am going to try to focus on that and implementing the ASS/ART additions I have come up with so far, and after that I will be implementing as much as I can from the list. Those 130 metrics are not necessarily direct translation to executable statements, and they will probably be added in 3.4, unless I decide to skip 3.4 and just keep going on 3.3 until everything is added and finished. I am trying to make the program as balanced as possible before I add them, so we can just add them and "fuck shit up".

Thanks for your hard work on this. Hope you enjoyed your time off.

Time off? Oh, right, I was supposed to get time off, wasn't I? lol Of the four days I took off, I really had what amounted to about a day of rest, but because of how it was cobbled together, probably not even that much.

Such is life, I guess. But thank you.
