    I don't care if Kalin can't hear the voices of the dead. It won't stop me from speaking to him every chance I get.

    Bliblablubb is around. She can hear me and the other uncorporeals. :obviously:

    Yeaaaah, but.... she can't really tell Kalinski what she heard.
    So in the end it will become an epic game of chinese whispers and charades, when Kalin tries to decypher the manifestation of tentacle-laqgirl in his mind.


    It's gonna be a glorious clusterfuck. I approve. :salute:

    I've been using psychology mod alongside leadership one with no problems in my game for quite a while now so i'm skeptical there is a conflict between them, i'd suspect another mod is the culprit for any problems with those.

    One minor mod i think you would like since skill deterioration is now a thing is the mod which adds objects like targets or martial arts dummy to train:
    http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=717575199
    This shouldn't conflict with anything since all it does is add objects, i've even removed it in game with no problems before.

    Alternatively you can check out this skill degradation mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=731111514
    But its understandable if you are wary after this experience, especially when we don't know what went wrong with the skill degradation mod you were using.

    Megafauna mod i'm surprised you're not already using considering KKK's rampant slaughter and disregard of the native ecosystem.
    http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1055485938

    Birds and bees, this is essential mod for kalin, dunno if there's a ra3p prisoner option though :/

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure our problems weren't caused by leadership mod. Just thought that since Grimwulf will no longer be around, we might as well switch to liberul voting system.

    And then Kalin decides to go looking for me all of a sudden. That bastard, I swear.

    I should probably get leadership mod back. Imagine how awkward it will be if everybody votes for Bliblablubb, our new Alien Overlord, hue hue.

    Mad skillz mod is already on the list. Skill degradation is turned off. It's a tiny mod that doesn't touch anything else, and therefore won't cause any problems.

    Err, Megafauna is on the mod list. Along with CE compatibility patch.

    What if poor Bliblablubb ends up having a dick? Ever thought about that?

    Dangit, glanced at the mod list to make sure i wasn't proposing duplicates but still managed to pull it off anyways.

    Forgot about that minor detail, I use alien races in my game with no problems but tentacle monsters might be an entirely different matter.
    If the mod doesn't break anything, just assume its Bliblablubb's primary pleasure giving tentacle of friendliness?

    Tranny vegetable. Vegetrannie. Not that it would matter tho. Kalin cannot into vegetable genders anyway. Have fun writing the story next time Kalin has to rub medicine on a "tentacle" in that case... :retarded:

    Searching for Grimwulf
    a short CYOA

    Kalin's Notes (open)
    How long has it been? A month, probably? I'm sick tired of following this multiheaded dick veggie. At first it seemed like she knew where to go, but now...

    We bumped into a few passing travellers and caravans, some of them saw a man of "weird behaviour and distinct aura of determination about him". That drunk-ass medieval goat herder sure has his way with words.

    Anyway, "a man with a scar on his eye" was heading north along the stone road I'm currently traversing.

    Ain't fun. Ain't fun at all. WHY ON EARTH AM I DOING THIS AGAIN?!

    Kalin, MAKE YOUR KEY CHOICES!

    Base chance of finding Grimwulf is 50%. It means that if you DON'T COMPLETE THE CYOA 'til weekend, there is a 50/50 chance of succeeding. Your actions and decisions might increase or decrease this chance.

    Completeling the CYOA in time will either lead you to Grimwulf (if you make the right KEY CHOICES), or lead you to nowhere (and thus you will begin Season 3 as the new leader)

    Decision № 1: the Brigands. They are pissing their panties right now, but don't foget - there are six of them.

    1. Let them go, you ain't got no time for dis.

    2. Try to talk them into joining you. Maybe you can convince at least some of them? If you choose that option, throw a d6.

    possible outcomes (open)
    Let's not forget that you're NOT GREAT in diplomatic matters.

    1. CRITICUL FAILUR - a battle begins!
    2. They are annoyed and simply go away.
    3. They are not impressed and simply go away.
    4. They are slightly amused and simply go away.
    5. SUCCESS - you managed to recruit a new guy for the team.
    6. CRITICUL SUCCES - you managed to recruit a guy and a gal for the team.


    3. Intimidate them into giving you intel on Grimwulf's fate. If you choose that option, throw a d6.

    possible outcomes (open)
    Intimidating is definitely your thing.

    1. FFFUUUUUUUUUUU. No results, they attack you instead.
    2. Barely anything. +5% to finding Grimwulf.
    3. Limited intel. +10% to finding Grimwulf.
    4. Valuable intel. +15% to finding Grimwulf.
    5. Now THAT's intel! +20% to finding Grimwulf.
    6. WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO! You get snazzy Zeppy's helmet, 500 silver as tribute and everything they know about Grimwulf (+30% chance to finding him)


    4. I'll just attack them, coz why not?

    Decision № 2: where will you go? You've been chasing Grimwulf for almost a month now, and you've never been that close. He's probably somewhere near.

    Show Spoiler
    [​IMG]


    There are two likely places for him to be RIGHT NOW, both are about a day's walk from your current location.

    1. People on your way here were talking about ghost village - abandoned settlement near the lake said to be ridden with ghosts and curses. Sounds like a place where Grimwulf might be enjoying himself, no? If you take this option, Zeppy's team will have plenty of time to go back to their camp and take any valuables they might have stored there.

    2. Gotta go to Zeppy's camp - maybe they hold Grimwulf prisoner there? (even if they say they don't) Besides, who knows what plunder you might find there? If you choose this options, the brigands will head for abandoned village, coz they are too afraid to stand on the way of mighty Kalin. In this case you won't be able to search it later - they might get reinforcements.

    I want to intimidate them, that's the only option that appears to boost the chance for finding Grimwulf and it's clear that we can't leave Kalin in any role higher than his place granite hewing or face hammering and expect the Kolony to thrive. Aside from that, I think Grimwulf would not be taken alive but a rather secluded and haunted patch of wasteland would be the obvious choice in which to build Kommunism so therefore let's strike out for the village.

    edit: Haha I thought I was people, didn't catch that this was just for Kalin.

    Others are free to post their suggestions. Besides, Kalin clearly won't figure out Bliblablubb's message on his own. :M

    It's crucial for completing CYOA successfully. I'll provide the password to the answer after CYOA is over, but it will be too late.

    :bravo:

    I underrestimated teh Kalin. Still gotta make dem key choices, tho.

    Now you know the general direction to go, but Zeppy's camp and abandoned village are both in close proximity. You can check one of those places without negative impact on your chances to succeed.

    Even Kalinski can see the clues provided on the map. He's a Spacecop after all! Extreeeeeeme, but not stupid. :salute:

    So basically both choices would have been "bad" if he hadn't figured the message out? Evil. I approve.

    I could tell you. I mean I already told you, but I could tell it to you again. Slowly. For speshul people to understand.

    Show Spoiler
    Not sure, was high on ice cream when I had the idea. But considering that I have 5 "feet", and you have only 2, I guess it's a ...marching/battle plan for us and the dogs? You and the ghostdawgs go ahead and I follow you (at a slower pace, since I only have one arrow and you have two?)

    No, I jes didn't expect anyone to figure this out before second key choice. Kalin and Blobra are currently on a crossroad. In case they won't find Grimwulf in camp/village, they will need to pick a direction to go next. Wrong direction would result in massive drop of chances to find Grim Wolf.

    Then again, if Kalin decides to go east or west, Grimwulf be fucked, - it's up to him.

    [​IMG] *SLAMS the door open, halberd swingin'* AWRIGHT, YOU FUCKS, GIT REHDY TO BE REKD BY KAL-- oh. Hello.

    [​IMG] *a young woman chained to the wall is watching Kalin without much interest* Hello.

    [​IMG] *mumbles to himself* rec-time

    [​IMG] You're not with Zeppy, I presume? Care to set me free?

    [​IMG] Why should I?

    [​IMG] I can make it worth your while. Pinky swear.

    [​IMG] Sounds alluring.

    [​IMG] *crawls inside*

    [​IMG] *barely raises a brow* There is something gross crawling behind you.

    [​IMG] She's with me. I call her Bimbo.

    [​IMG] Nice to meet you, Bimbo. And you are?

    [​IMG] Little Kalin, Son of Kalin. Call me Kalin.

    [​IMG] Kalin. That sounds... Nevermind. Would you kindly open that crate in the corner? I would do it myself, but you see... *shackling chains*

    [​IMG] Eh, crate? CRATE! SWEET LEWT!! *cracks open the crate*

    Crate contents (open)

    - 20 AP rounds
    - 8 military rations
    - 700 silver
    - a key
    - 2 military knives
    - 1 hand grenade
    - Glock-17 (fully loaded)
    - Something SPESHUL


    [​IMG] Did you find a key, perchance?

    [​IMG] Yah yah, gimme a moment. *rummages through the loot* What's that? A note?

    [​IMG] Take your time. No rush.

    [​IMG] *sighs, unchains the girl* YOU ARE WELCOME! Being ungrateful is becoming a new fucking trend in these parts!

    [​IMG] Mind if I take the Glock?

    [​IMG] In your dreams! I don't even know your name!

    [​IMG] You are free to call me whatever you like. I also suggest we leave. Now.

    [​IMG] *gurgling in agreement*

    [​IMG] There is no "we".

    [​IMG] How am I supposed to repay you if you send me away?

    [​IMG] I have an idea or two. Two, actually.

    [​IMG] Look, Kalin. It isn't safe here. Zeppy and her alcoholic warband is one thing, but... Let's just go.

    [​IMG] Fine. But I will get my gratitude payment! AND a bonus!

    Chance of finding Grimwulf is now 70%

    Because Bilbo Bum.

    The girl keeps to herself. No blowjobs yet. Hell, she didn't even say her name.

    The dogs are nervous for some reason. Frequently stopping, lookin' behind, growlin' in the dark. Is somebody following us?

    Fucking Grimwulf.


    Three days later.

    [​IMG] *greeting gurgle*

    [​IMG] I really need to stop drinking.

    [​IMG] They have their hands full with a particular man. These are muffalo ranchers, you see. A few days ago a madman attacked their ranch, brutally killing every single animal for some reason. Then he tried to escape, but these men can be very persistent. They chased this muffalo slayer to an abandoned tower west from here. He had to lock himself inside this tower.

    [​IMG] Muffalo slayer, eh? Interesting. I think I'll have a chat. Don't go anywhere, Bamby.

    [​IMG] I'm Kalin Da Space Cop. What seems to be the problem?

    [​IMG] Mind yer own business!

    [​IMG] My business is dealing with criminals. They say you got problems with a particular one.

    [​IMG] Aye, he's hiding inside ol' Kramnik Tower.

    [​IMG] Why don't you kick the doors an' deliver some justice?

    [​IMG] Dem doors are hard, mistah. And he's shooting flaming bolts when we come too close.

    [​IMG] Flaming bolts you say?

    [​IMG] We're siegin'. We'll starve him out. Most of us are patrollin' the area, some of us come 'ere to resupply every now and again.

    [​IMG] Sounds like you've got everything uder control. This man - how does he look like?

    [​IMG] Nobody can tell. Came out of nowher'. Killed our herd.

    [​IMG] Life can be rough like that. Today you're a cool space cop traversing space. Tomorrow you're stuck on a backwards planet, trying hard to protect your ass from alien tentacle invasion.

    A bit later.

    [​IMG] Got beer?

    [​IMG] First one on the house. *opens a bottle for Kalin* Say... I recognize your face, young lady. Are you..?

    [​IMG] Allow me to take you back to your family. It will be an honor.

    [​IMG] The honor is mine. However, I owe a certain debt to this... gentleman.

    [​IMG] In this case I will gladly repay it. How does 1000 silver sound, friend?

    [​IMG] Sounds rather-- FUCK, calm your dogs, Bilbo! What are they barking about?!

    [​IMG] *HORRIFYING SHRIEEEEEEEEEK*

    [​IMG] I swear I could see him wearing white furs! Was it Grimwulf?!

    [​IMG] *confused gurgling*

    [​IMG] Dang it. Oi, bartender! Have you seen a man wearing white furs, with a scar on his right eye? Mumbling inane shit all the time?

    [​IMG] Why, yes. There was a man in white furs passig by, although I cannot recall a scar... He was heading to the ferry NE of here. And another man stopped for a drink, he had a scar on his eye. But he wasn't wearing any furs. In fact, he was dressed in military uniform of some sort. I never saw anything like that before. He drank in silence for an hour or so, then headed north. Can't imagine why would anybody go north - it's a dead end. Nothing's there, apart from the old Harbinger.

    [​IMG] Awright, awright, stop right there. Who or what is the Harbinger?

    [​IMG] An old battleship left by a long forgotten civilization. It's over a century old, rusted and looted a thousand times. Still a beautiful sight to see.

    [​IMG] Rite. What about the ferry - where can it take me?

    [​IMG] A small outlander town on the coast. That's my home town. We are a small communistic community, living by the code of labor and honesty. You should visit some day, our glorious leader Trudy is very inspiring.

    [​IMG] *contemplating*

    [​IMG] Another beer? You should really see my merchandise while you're here. And please, accept my offer of gratefulness for saving--

    [​IMG] Me.

    [​IMG] Just who ARE you?

    MAKE YOUR KEY CHOICE

    Kalin, time to shine!

    Decision №1: The woman. 1000 silver doesn't simply fall from the sky. But there is something funny about her that makes you hesitate.

    1. Hesitate? Must be the beer. SOLD! (you get 1000 silver)

    2. Gotta try to convince her to stay in the team. Roll a d6.

    possible outcomes (open)
    1. She is insulted. Now you only get 500 silver.
    2. You fail, but still get 1000 silver.
    3. You fail, but still get 1000 silver.
    4. You fail, but still get 1000 silver.
    5. Success, she is recruited in KKK.
    6. Success, she is recruited in KKK.


    3. Let Bliblablubb mind control her into staying.

    4. Kill her, obviously.

    Bliblablubb, if you post before Kalin OR if he lets you do it willingly, you can attempt to mind control the woman. Usually it takes some time and a proper mood, but you should be able to pull it off anyway. You should.

    If you succeed, she will become your thrall until you let it go. Somewhat like Spigot and Raj. However, if you fail to ASSUME DIRECT CONTROL, things might turn ugly. You guessed it - roll a d6.

    possible outcomes (open)
    1. Failure! The woman escapes. Kalin gets nothing.
    2. Failure! Your attempt is revealed, Croc takes it personal. Kalin gets nothing.
    3. Success! She is your thrall now.
    4. Success! She is your thrall now.
    5. Success! She is your thrall now.
    6. Critical success! She is your thrall now, and Croc pays 500 silver for Kalin to keep her safe.


    Decision №2: The merchant. Remember, all the stuff you gain during CYOA will make it to Season 3.

    Your inventory (open)
    - 1618 silver (2618 in case you decide to accept Croc's offer)
    - VSK-94 sniper rifle
    - 20 AP rounds
    - 8 military rations
    - 2 military knives
    - 1 hand grenade
    - Glock-17 (fully loaded)
    - 18 cans of vegetables
    - 6 jerked meats
    - 2 herbal medicines
    - your halberd
    - your clothing and armor
    - Bliblablubb's laser


    Croc's merhandise (open)
    - medicine (real one) x40, for 50 silver each
    - beer x120, for 18 silver each
    - canned meat x70, for 12 silver each
    - golden eye (snazzy), for 1900 silver
    - components x12, for 30 silver each
    - AK-47 x3, for 880 silver each
    - 7,62mm FMJ x600, for 0,5 silver each
    - 7,62mm HP x200, for 0,5 silver each
    - 7,62mm AP x200, for 0,5 silver each


    Buy whatever you want.

    Bliblablubb, Croc asks if he can buy a labrador? He only needs one (you can choose which one yourself) and is willing to pay 500 silver.

    Decision №3: The destination. Here comes the tough choice. Where do you head next, Kalin?

    Show Spoiler
    [​IMG]


    1. To the BESIEGED TOWER.
    2. To the FERRY.
    3. Follow the MYSTERIOUS MAN.
    4. Head for THE HARBINGER.
    5. No freakin' clue. Let Bliblablubb lead.

    Consider the risks involved. Failure will result in returning back to Croc.

    Remember - even if you don't find Grimwulf in a given location, there might be lewt or opportunities. Or maybe your death - who knows?

    Besieged Tower (open)
    If the muffalo slayer isn't Grimwulf, you're gonna lose 2 days (-10% to finding Grimwulf) and 16 units of food (20 if you recruit the woman)

    Ferry (open)
    If the man in white furs isn't Grimwulf, you're gonna lose 3 day (-15% to finding Grimwulf) and 24 units of food (30 if you recruit the woman)

    The Harbinger (open)
    If the man with a scar isn't Grimwulf, you're gonna lose 3 days (-15% to finding Grimwulf) and 24 units of food (30 if you recruit the woman)

    Mysterious Man (open)
    If the man who's following you isn't Grimwulf, you are gonna lose 1 day (-5% to finding Grimwulf) and 8 units of food (10 if you recruit the woman)

    let Bilbo lead (open)
    THIS ENDS CYOA

    The mental link between Blib and Grim hasn't broken yet. So far you've been going in the right direction. Perhaps it's time to leave the rest to her?

    Roll a d10. You current chance of succeess is 70%, and therefore:

    1-3 - FAILUR
    4-10 - SUCCESS


    BONUS ROUND: What was that SOMETHING SPESHUL you found in that crate back in Zeppy's camp? Roll a d6.

    possible outcomes (open)
    1. BOOBY TRAP - you lose 2 fingers. Gotta be careful.
    2. Bad smell. Like, really bad smell. (in other words, you get nothing)
    3. Ice Cream! Better give it to Bimbo!
    4. Two bottles of vodka. Now that's happiness.
    5. Police uniform, armor vest, and baton! Groovy!
    6. A bionic eye! Fuck yes! Now, how do I install it..?


    P.S.: Gotta make it fair somehow, so here is another .rar archive protected by password. Inside is a .txt file with Grimwulf's location. I'll reveal the password once this CYOA is over.

    spacecop this is star command

    we know spacecop school ain't perfect and sometimes they pass a few turds if you know what I mean, so we wanna help you out.

    Harbinger and Ferry are best bets...

    but Mysterious Stranger may make the decision clearer and won't cost much.

    Working theory is : Grimwulf got drunk and threw away all his shit. So guy with flaming crossbow and white furs are just people who picked up his stuff. He's going to Harbinger for some reason. Resurrect Azira maybe using ancient alien technology.

    HMMMMM

    The grill is Grimwulf and Trudy's lovechild.

    Sprigot has been resurected using powers of harbinger somehow, maybe by DR SPADE who sent him as proof to Grimwulf to lure him toward the Harbinger (who else would be shooting muffaloe?), and now he's going toward the Harbinger to ressurect Azira
    :kingcomrade:

    Dr Spade is a mystery. Maybe the clue is that spade is the name of the head of a shovel.. hmmmm... has the KKK ever buried someone alive?.... AHHH...

    Shovel's are used for digging... and digging is labor... DR SPADE is an old comrade...

    DR SPADE IS DREED! Or HELLO FRIEND. Hello Friend dug more than Dreed did.

    CONCLUSION: HARBINGER, it is the only thing that makes sense, the most dramatic place. Investigating the mystery man and the crossbowguy will help prepare you for what's coming. Bet you muffaloe slaughterer is Sprigot...

    Look at that C&C! But if it turns out that we don't find the real Grimwulf, it'll all be fine because we can use Kalin's impressive surgical talent to stich together a new one out of the pseudo-Grimwulfs. If he pieces together a new one out of a mosaic of a muffalo-hater, an alcoholic, a crazed mutterer and some forest creeper then it's like we hardly lost the old one.
