Ironically, the amount of arete we would need to compensate for Slice Fate is so high we can buy Cut Through instead. Since at the update post we needed 8.5 arete for it without arete debt. Thus 7.5 with it. So a mere .5 beyond what compensating for Cut Through would get us.
I'm just with Conjured Blade for this update, but Opalescence and Investigate are agreeable enough options. Vigor Itself or Fierce Quickening might be more efficient Arete-less picks and going straight for the Springs awards three-quarters of a point, but we've neglected the Sky and Letrizia in social combat against enemies on her level could be fun.
Hmm, can we control our fall with Fall of Night even if we have another person on our back. If Verschlengorge throws Hunger with Gisena on his back over the Rotbeast to do some nullity bombardment and Hunger uses FoN to slow our fall can this be used as a legitimate bombing run?
Given that the good alternative is +0.75 Arete as far as I can tell, eh. I'm content with it.
I'm partially hoping we can parry the School investigation into a second update, which would get us more than the .75 arete just by the extra time gained. This makes the Arete option a lot less attractive.
No that's Rihaku's patreon.
You've been added to the ledger with a tier-1 signature as well.
I suspect if we get Cut Through we'll probably spend a bit developing it initially before going anywhere. And what better way to test it than on the Rotbeast?
Shrug. I have no shame. And it's nice to see people trying.
If there's no effort and they're not interesting or funny and just padded for wordcount I don't think they generate Arete anyway.
If it's a magic system that requires Arete the magic voters will be laughed out of the room.
If it's a magic system that requires arete which seems likely since we won't be fighting anything so won't be earning picks then won't we have just wasted the vote? We could be earning a premium vaction here!
I have a compelling reason not to do that for another fifteen hours, but will seriously consider it after that time if the option remains open.
I feel a bit - something - about introducing the concept of an omake reserve to the thread? But hey, calling up that which you cannot put down fits right in with the rest of our antics.
We get the hotsprings time anyway! It's the best of both worlds. Assuage our curiosity and relax.
An omake reserve does kind of defeat the point of the rewards system I guess. Since it was intended to promote constant content generation and thread activity.
That should leave an hour or two before vote close, assuming Rihaku doesn't extend it.
Doesn't earning a premium vacation require fighting the Rotbeast? Because a corruption/rot/necromonstrous opponent sounds like a bad choice when Lord Hunger specifically has an excruciating vulnerability to poison.

No we get pleb time! If we want a premium vaction we have to earn it!
We are earning it! We get to watch Letrizia interact with the school kids. It's going to be great!
We earn premium vacation by turning this into a busman's holiday. I don't like it.
Just hide behind Versch and throw blade winds at it till it dies and have Gisena blast anything that comes near us with nullity!
That's not Gisena! Also I'm pretty sure by the wording we actually get a better vacation for beating the rotbeast than the other options.
