Magical Girl Home Base Quest

[X] Keep her in a cleared-out room: she's not inherently a bad person, and the artifact shrapnel in her could lead to some interesting research possibilities.
[X] Wand
-[X] Level 2

Because siding with the group who actually has the morals not to literally dissect her to maximize research gains seems like the origin story of a dark magical girl, and well she has three cursed shards in her.

Also it would be hilarious if the protagonist misunderstanding that they meant for her to be his bodyguard ended up being foreshadowing. :V
 
Well, Homer did just clean up a room.
She's not a magic girl yet. We've got a few new girls in town that could use it, but they seem to have something of a team solidarity thing going on and they're staying together.

For now Jocelyn is a prisoner/assistant/curse tester. Like an intern, but with more respect. So the real question is if she has to sing along while Medicine Boy works or if she just does the refrain until she learns the songs.
 
Your quest strikes me as a mix of Meguca, Man At Arms, Seven Days To Die, and The Desden Files. And I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

Why the last 3? I'm not familiar with them.



For the QM I have 2 questions:
1) Has anyone ran a tally to see what's winning yet?

2) Do bombs only come with making a lower tier wand/item or can you get bombs out of a higher tier trinket/item?
If you've already answered this let me know.

This one's easy.

[X] Trinket
-[X] Level 3

This one isn't... but, well. Wand next week (preferably) and then... work on the building, I think. More furnished rooms means more space for MG's to crash means more income, means an easier time building new things. Including Workshop upgrades, building upgrades, and equipment. In theory.

Yeah, I will be honest I wanted her either dead or gone...but only surviving on a 9-10 where the 9 still would have maimed her tells me that she has more potential than that. So I decided to abstain from the vote, hoping for the best.

Also while I agree with the alternating Trinket-Wand idea, I wonder when we will try for Costumes instead? Maybe when we get a request or something. Or We actually catch up enough that our girls are equipped enough.

Costumes are good, but each level of anything has been shown to be a big improvement, both in power and in durability, so a level one costume... won't cut it for us. After we have people well equipped or somesuch, then yeah, we'll do it, or when we can make higher level costumes. By the way, I really wish we had started with wands or costumes as our main craft...

And frankly I really really like the idea of our budding adventure's guild having a hodgepodge of expertise from different factions fueling the defenses

Me too! Imagine having a half or mini witch actually helping us make magical defences??

As much as I'd prefer for wands to win, since we're several weeks late on delivering the asked wands, I must inform you that the vote for trinket won't be counted unless you put the level of it too. Just, you know, in good faith.

You do know that the QM wouldn't have screwed us over no matter what choice was picked? Besides,what's done is done.

As for Costumes,yes they're not the best at Lv 1, but considering how the upgrade system works,we won't get stronger costumes until we actually decide to dedicate actions to making them so that our skill increases or if we get a research option on a costume. Plus they're the best we've got.

Frankly,I'm fine with the rotating wand-trinket idea. But mainly,we should be making shit that the girls ask for. And that's why I'm okay with the trinket winning because Trompdoy has asked for a trinket before.

Yes, we should be making what the girls ask, but because trinket is so higher in level people have been leaving the asked for things behind to make more trinkets. THAT is why I'd rather have started with wand or costume higher, not because the QM would screw us, but because the only solid argument, so far, for trinkets is that "they can do everything and are higher level, so why do anything else?" and this is starting to make me feel tired. We have given dozens of arguments for the wands, but because the system says trinkets are higher, people still want to do it over anything else...

Well,you shouldn't count me in that number as I personally see the value in both trinkets and wands.That's why I like the rotating trinket-wand idea as it's a good compromise for people who value wands and trinkets. And yeah,people should really be paying more attention to fulfilling the requests the girls asked for. After that that's done,then we can make what we want. So if they ask for a wand give them a wand,who cares if the trinkets are the most high tier item we currently have?

To be fair,maybe some of the people who voted trinket did it because we just got done with a big wand making project after a turn of research,and a Tier 3 one at that so they feel like they can switch to something else. Not saying that you're not right about some people's motivations, but generalizing them isn't fair and pretty disingenuous too.

We just 'made' a wand. And we have an outstanding request for a trinket too. *shrugs*

But there have also been requests for wands for weeks now. As in, more than one request. Trompdoy's the only one who asked for a trinket to my knowledge. But I get why maybe some people voted trinket since we did just make a wand and a Tier 3 one at that.

But... We don't have a request for trinket, she just said she'd like to have one for illusions. While the cavalry explicitly said she'd need a wand soon, and Calypso practically demanded we make her a wand... And we gave her a trinket instead.
