Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this gets to the nub of my question, which I asked in a very flippant way to encourage silly answers but it kinda bugged me (but not in any way enough to lose sleep over) Let's get past the "timeywimeyballofshit" meme because that's probably better known than Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity (personally I don't get either concept fully) But the whole Mender/Ouro thing is you keep going back and forth in time - and I do admit this proved to be an incredibly inventive solution to a player problem. That problem was that it was impossible to revisit content you'd outlevelled without exemping on somebody else's team. So this is a great solution and I'm not criticizing it in any way (and those of you who know me know that I will if I feel it doesn't come up to snuff.) But it's more a thought experiment - if time is as fluid as the Menders (and many actual physicists) tell us, then surely the badge should be awarded within random parameters and awarded to reflect that - because if time is mutable it's possible I spent several million years talking to Mender Roebuck, getting rid of the dross I'd picked up from the last mission - but weeks had passed down in Grandville and Atlas Park I guess my basic gripe is that the badge doesn't actually respect the awesomeness of Ouroboros sufficiently and needs something better. I'm not suggesting a title change - but something to reflect that you're about as powerful as any time lord you care to mention in any universe. So long as you're constrained within the bounds of Paragon, the Isles or Praetoria. I'm thinking out loud a bit in a bit of down time - but it's an interesting intersection between known physics, philosophy and game life. The Ghost Slaying Axe. The very best there is.

You awarded yourself the badge one day and anyone who questions it gets a letter that tells them the exact date and time of their death signed by your future self Those that question again get a selfie of your future self standing over the questioner's corpse with a caption that reads, "Wish you weren't here!" 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorDitko Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Simple: When you enter an Ouroboros Portal, an attochip is implanted painlessly in your character. (There are unproven rumors that the chip releases some kind of antiviral vaccine as well. /em shrug) You are then awarded the "Entrusted with the Secret" badge, and can summon O-portals. How do they know where to send the portal? They track your attochip! Disclaimer: Not a medical doctor. Do not take medical advice from Doctor Ditko. Also, not a physicist. Do not take advice on consensus reality from Doctor Ditko. But games? He used to pay his bills with games. (He's recovering well, thanks for asking!)
