Seems strictly superior to vanilla option. We need a Senzu regardless of whether we're already holding one.
 
We don't need dorfs running all over the place on top of everything else, after all. What with their spontaneous melting and addiction to cats.

I could just see Kakara playing Dwarf Fortress.

"Oh god no, the baby is on fire! Why did that soldier even go into battle carrying a baby?"

"The goblin's what is disabled?"

**several hours later**

"Okay, so if I regularly flood the room, it will carry the mermaid children straight to the butcher. I guess I'll have to build a new bone crafting station nearby..."
 
Right, I just think the split over "explicitly eat a bean if it's a bean" and "Don't just shove a bunch of beans in your mouth" and "Take JUST ONE out and eat it if it's the full bag" is a bit silly - Kakara is easily smart enough to do that...unless the vote for 'find out by shoving it in your mouth' inexplicably comes from behind, since it is intentionally making her act stupidly.
If we didn't have votes for acting stupidly, I wouldn't have worried about it. :p
 
I am in genuine awe of how the objective, "Eat a bean", has been turned into conditional fork instructions. All you have left is to start incorporating loops and the write-ins will have granulized to the point of literally being machine code.

Never underestimate the ability of geeks to make things unnecessarily complicated. Unless it's a situation where you need to be complicated, then the vote just ends up being "[] Meh, whatever, go with the flow"

While I agree it's pretty silly, Kakara's apparently so out of it she can't tell what she's holding without significant effort on her part. We're going so obtusely basic in our instructions because she's so cognitively impaired she may genuinely struggle without them.

Well, for all the proposed complications, it would seem that the majority favors simplicity. Vote closed.

Ah, the perils of approval voting!
 
Worst case, we get a very short update like "it's a bag of senzu beans, what do you do?" Since Poptart appears to be tracking elapsed time rather carefully,* it's not as if Kakara would expire from her wounds after an update covering such a short amount of time if she wouldn't have expired anyway no matter what decision we made.

As perils go, this is not a big peril.

And then, through the red haze in your vision, you see a sharp twist of sorcery as Dandelor strikes at your Obedience spell just perfectly to cause it to fragment. It's so surgical and precise that the spell even fragments less violently than you originally designed it. Berra still goes down screaming, of course, but he's actually still capable of making noise.

Masterful.
...best apprentice.

Hey, it checks out. We've spent years training him up, investing heart and soul in his development and progress, and along the way we've taught him tons of valuable lessons! And now, in a crucial moment, he bests us.

I'm so proud. :D

Lessons. Is that what we're calling them, these days?

We're from the school of tough love.

Maybe it'd be better to say we helped him find lessons? :p
Remalaide said:
I feel like that's understating it.

We wield lessons like blunt objects. :lol

Other people teach things. A Dandeer lesson just happens to you. :rofl:
