Magical Girl Escalation Taylor (Worm/Nanoha)

Reader mode
So the only true benefit for Taylor's subclass being Gadgeteer is that she is more likely to be in her lab if people go looking for it?
As for the non-combat plotlines, I could see that there are only things TG would open up, but that would also be true for IE.

Really doesn't outweigh the downsides, such as;
Needing to choose between growth and advancing the plot. To be fair and as mentioned above, I can see collaborations with other Tinkers such as Dragon being both, but that isn't likely to be often.
Questlines that are put off, in order to make things, continue unimpeded and get more difficult or resolves in a way that we get no reward from it and irrevocably changes the playing field.
Has no inherent abilities that can be used outside of a lab in addition to being inferior to the original. Tools made by Taylor up to her limit and a Privateer's are the same no matter who it is handled by.
 
[X]Scan Privateers and Danny

I think we are all missing a rather important step in planning to give out a template in the future.

We've messed up before by talking about what we want to do, but then not actually voting for it.

Once we know who we could grant a template, or heck even tech spells to we can firm up our plans from there.

Hey @Silently Watches could you maybe add;-

[ ]Scan someone.
Whilst they will surely notice your scans, more potential magical backup would be nice. Right?
-[ ] Who?

To the general voting options maybe? Please? With a cookie on top?

Just as a little reminder so it's a little more obvious.

Given he's talked multiple times with the playerbase about how we need to be the ones to remember and write that in a as vote as well as put it up in the first post as an FAQ, that would be an admission we as a playerbase can't do long-term anything without being hand-held.
 
Ahh well, but it doesn't change the fact that we need to start voting to scan people. We wont have the option to give out a template unless we do as i recall.

Personally, while I'm all for getting more mages, I think it might be a decent idea to wait until this whole situation is over.

This. Also, if you vote several times in different messages, the tallying program will see only the last one. As it is, your vote on secondary class will not be counted.
 
Yeah, just felt like it should be kept in mind since I've been reading through recently.

We never scanned Vista, despite choosing to hang out/patrol with her. We've not scanned the Privateers or even Danny despite having even more opertunity to do so.

Heck there was talk about converting Noelle a while ago, ignoring that we had no idea if they had magic or not as far as I recall.

Kinda wish we could do a retcon omake to have scanned at least Danny. If genetics are related to magic then he's more likely than Joe average off the street to have magic.

As a guy who took an active part in that, the fact that a cape had to have a linker core before being able to become a mage was known, that was the point and the hope. No Noelle with powers, No Echidna, No Ziz-bomb.

Well, you're a real bundle of impractical ideas, aren't you?
When would this hypothetical omake take place? What action that the players voted on would we be throwing out to made time for that? And if we're retconing stuff already, does SW let people vote on whether or not we make Danny a mage? Do we give up the three days of other to make a device? What template would we use then?
Hoyden, you're not talking about inserting something into the narrative that should have been there already. You're talking about scrapping a considerable amount of RL time and effort because you don't like the consequences of decisions you're supposed to live with.
And that's the point where people get pissed at you.

The idea of making Missy a Mage would have had a very steep climb at best anyway, since her spatial folding/warping abilities are damn good (Shaker 9s don't just come along everyday) and would be lost in such a move.

Oh no disagreement on that point, but I'm just trying to look forwards and start trying to plan beyond the next combat encounter. At least a little.

The problem is not that you are planning beyond the next combat encounter, it's that you are voting while the character is in combat, thinking you vote, had it won, would take effect after the BB containtment breach resolution. It will not. Taylor would have stopped fighting and started scanning people. No one wants that.

I could, sure. But I won't. I've already said that the onus of scanning people for Linker Cores falls on you as the player base. I'll be nice, and I'll help you out, but I won't play the game for you.

Oh, and you do realize your vote overwrote your vote for secondary class, right?

Genetics do play a role in magical lineage as far as I recall, yes. Taylor got her magical traits from Annette. Danny may or may not have a Linker Core.
 
Yeah I can see your point.
Given the current tally I don't think my vote will make a huge difference. No matter which gets picked, it'll be interesting to see/read.

So we can't rely on genetics to work out who not to scan, also useful.

Thankyou.

I think you should also remember that even if we scan Danny and he has a core, giving him a Device would be a spectacularly bad idea. Because it will destroy the Privateers.
