That was the first thing he found out in the quest, and he decided it didn't bother him as much as it usually did. Besides, if you really don't want to headbutt Harry, you shouldn't come up with more votes that further split the anti-headbutt vote. We all need to actually go under one vote to stand a chance of winning.

Yeah well, I know that, you know that and Dudley knows that but what Harry knows is that we didn't speak up, not that that we realized it. The whole point of the vote was to direct Harry's suspiscions away, not to complain about it.

Tavarokk · Aug 15, 2015

Since we're actually putting food aside, nothing stops us from slugging him in the chops, which will be safer for both parties involved. But updating all 30 votes with this would be somewhat tiresome, I think.

Excelion · Aug 15, 2015

Let's not forget that 26% pain reduction bonus we have, so even if we mess up the headbutt, it won't be that bad.

No one will believe him seems like a ridiculous thing to fall back on. Our parents probably won't believe him but once he goes to Hogwarts everybody important will. Snape and Dumbledore can tell if he's lying through mind reading.

Mind reading? That sounds like magic... What is this magic you speak of, who the fuck are Snape and Dumbledore? Harry hasn't heard of them, Dudley sure as hell hasn't heard of them. At this point, none of that matters though really if you're going to be a retarded monkey and use knowledge that you (Dudley) shouldn't have... headbutting a guy that is going to be able to death curse you at some point should really be a consideration for you.

As for falling back on no one believing Harry, why should that change? No one has ever believed him so far? As far as Dudley knows, that's not changing any time soon.

Yes, because your statement that telling Harry will turn him into our minion was completely an in character statement. It makes no sense. Harry's used the death curse how many times exactly? He wasn't even able to directly attack Voldemort with killing spells and you think I'd be worried about that? I'm just as worried about Harry using magic to rape us.

As far as Dudley knows isn't the discussion. It's about our information getting out to people we don't want to have it. What in character reason does Dudley have to tell Harry? The entire tell Harry option is metagammy in the first place. Trying to say the metagammy counter isn't in character is ridiculous.

He does the yard work and most of the chores around the house and cooks the food without being paid, how is he not a minion?

I think the risk of the knowledge getting out is tiny compared to possibly getting some help. Are you going to trust Dudley's gang who you know are no good deadbeats that like causing problems and would turn on you in a heartbeat or are you going to trust someone that has no one as far as you know that they can tell.

In character reasons, help figuring this ability out, reducing suspicions and possibly better relations with his cousin.

Because he's doing them all as chores. Regardless even if you want to call him a minion he wouldn't be our minion. He'd belong to our parents. Telling him wouldn't change anything.

Getting some useless help from Harry isn't close to being worth it. We're likely smarter than Harry at this point in time. We don't need his help. We don't need our friends' help either. It's not a matter of one or the other. They're both useless. It would actually be more useful and safer telling our parents than telling Harry. Anyway since we're guiding his actions that's all the help Dudley needs.

In character it's help we don't need, suspicions we don't care about, and relations that we care even less about. It's the first day we got the power and we're making steady progress on figuring it out. We're not at the point that we'd think about seeking help. Harry is the only one suspicious so far and we have no to reason to care about that. Why do we suddenly care about having good relations with Harry? None of those are good in character reasons.

redzonejoe · Aug 15, 2015

While having the foresight to put our food down might keep Harry wondering, I think headbutting him will go a long way towards comforting him. He'll realise we really are Dudley, and that we're changing. That's a good thing.

No, we're not changing all at once, but that'd be too much to expect. This way the gradual improvement seems real to him, not alien.

This is the headbutt of hope, right here.

If the OP has kept the stat sheet updated, Dudley is at int 7 which is still dumber than a box of rocks though it's better than where he was.

Telling his parents would be completely stupid! They freak about anything weird or different and magic... you'd have to be even stupider than Dudley to not have noticed that.

Ah, but you're forgetting something. We don't have to like Harry to use him. We don't have to care about him to improve our relations so that we can use him. Dudley has played video games, we're going to need someone's help to test out any multiplayer features we find.

Vincent said:
We don't need our friends' help either.

I'll agree about his friends being useless.

An INT of 7 is actually around what a high school kid would have. A WIS of 8 is actually a bit higher than what a high school kid had. INT is knowledge and processing power. WIS is problem solving abilities. Harry probably lacks experience with games as well.

They'd freak out and then get over it and be useful. Useful in actual ways like taking us to the library, taking us to the bookstore, buying us things for reference.

We don't need to test out multiplayer features. The only way that is useful is for communication or power leveling. Neither are functions we absolutely need to make use of.

No. 7 isn't bad for an 11 year old.

According to the QM, a 30 year old average adult would have 15 in most of his stats. With LVL20-30 in a few skills (likely what he does for a living/in his free time for fun), and 5-10 in many more.

I agree with @Vincent . Our power isn't "fantastic magic powers" or "cause bad shit to happen when we're pissy".

It's mostly "get better at everything with a lot less efort". Which is frankly a blessing for anyone who wants to live in normal society. As opposed to being a wizard with a wand.

Vindictus · Aug 16, 2015

So, no update today.

I wish I had a good excuse, but what actually happened was that I decided to play a bit of Fallout 3 this morning, and then suddenly it's over 12 hours later and where did all my time go?

I'll try to get a proper update up tomorrow sometime.

That's cool. I like the pace you seem to go for. It's a nice middle ground between quests on /tg/ that are run in sessions and have an update every hour at the slowest, and the much slower pace other quests have on SB/SV.

One thing I kind of loathe is in 'gamer' quests where people vote for the protagonist to spill everything at the first opportunity.

This. All the this. There is no reason why we should tell anybody about this, even if we do trust them, instead of just breaking it down into "I learn things a lot quicker" if we absolutely have to explain it. I mean, I don't detail the process by which I consume food to others, I just say that I ate it, so why should Dudley be any different? Explaining the ability takes all the fun out of it.

ryuan · Aug 16, 2015

They would probably blame Harry in the long run, which will cause it's own set of problems.

Harry is being a brat, so deal with the brat like always. We don't need to justify ourselves to him.
