13, down from thousxands? Not that it especially matters, but that is an impressive drop there.

@Birdsie Are you sure the vote tally is right? For example Red Bovine never voted for [A Needle Into The Heart of Magic] not sure why it is showing up on the vote tally like that.

I just had an idea for an NPC Gremlin named Widget, as a saboteur specialist.
Race: Heteromorphic (Fae)
Gender: Female
Name: Stki Widget
R.lvl:
Gremlin (15)
Gremlin Rabble Rouser (10)
Gremlin Havoc Queen (5)
C.lvl:
Tinker (15)
Luckomancer (10)
Rouge (15)
Saboteur (10)
Misfortune Incarnate (5)
Total Levels: 85
My question for you, @Birdsie is a gremlin a demihuman like a Goblin or a is it a Heteromorphic Fae race? Also, how big can she make booms, and can she make them look like an accident?

That's... really, really weird. I'll fix that up, hold on.

Fae, I'd say.
With this many levels, easily enough to blow the British parliament up in November. And yes, if said thing could conceivably explode, sure.
Otherwise, not sure how things can accidentally explode.

Through an improbable chain of cause and effect, a sort of Rube Goldberg Of Accidents. Final Destination style, maybe.
Like it all starts with her throwing a bolt over her shoulder and ends with a building on fire half way across town.

@Red Bovine @rx915 , since the idea of satalites was vetoed a while back, a suggested alternative, in essence try to make a dedicated creature that can basically act as a spy plane, possibly carrying items designed to scan. It will be a bit
One other option, enhance our puppets body a bit, after all at the moment it is mostly designed to interact with people so it's racial levels will be fairly low
I do worry about using our actual best equipment, maybe some of our best secondary equipment (like Ainz used against Shalltear)
[X] Time for war
Also yeah that was a weird vote tally
@Birdsie has Ainz arranged for Workers to "explore" the decoy Nazarick to "test" his defences, and has he mentioned anything like that to us being planned? I also wonder how much Ainz actually tells us when it comes to plans
Hm, additional safety net, have Ichika Toufexidis keep a careful eye on the battlefield using scrying, just in case we actually do need reinforcements. I think having a 100 odd Alchemic Veteran Automata in reserve (to be teleported in) would do and maybe 20-30 of the equivalents of elder and master guarders, they should give the right impression in terms of karma value (I expect them to be neutral) hm, and I suppose a High Level NPC with world item ready, while this is almost certainly excessive paranoia but wouldn't hurt us to be prepared.

We could just modify the observers.
If he did get workers let's get in on it and traumatise them further as we can resurrect em. Like having them wake up jigsaw style while observing them as they try to escape.

Oh, sorry the bit at the top was from a old comment I haven't actually bothered to finish
Oh ok.
Still I think through zero we could get workers to go field test the guild defences then resurrect em while wiping their memory to try it again or something.
@Red Bovine since we're taking on the theocracy it's the most opportune time to go make use of any angelic races for the shock factor.
Like say if we want to switch bodies during battle for an angel body (fake human transformation go) or have an angel NPC with us as support or something since this will be our debut playing the supreme being.

Added having Ichika watch over the battle field, switching to using only our best secondary gear and upgrading our body while keeping it's appearance.
Not really getting why we would do that. I mean Wiz doesn't seem like the guy who is sadistic for the sake of sadism. Sure he might do some really questionable stuff from time to time but he actually has a reason for it. We have also shown ourselves to be pragmatic about things. I mean from a logical standpoint we can just create robotic meat people as strong as varying New Worlder natives with implanted fighting memories to test out the defenses.
I'm also not sure if Ainz is even going to go that route this time. Think he has something planned considering he mentioned wanting the Elf Kingdoms. Especially since he is now sporting a human body which means he actually feels empathy from time to time like we Wizzomatic does when possesing his human body.

Sounds incredibly interesting. I approve. If she gets voted for, she's canon.
It's not for the sadism it's for the testing of human creativity in trying to escape just like those videogames.

I mean it's pretty much sadism if you pick the most sadistic way to accomplish something we can do in a multitude of ways that don't involve sadism. And just mentioning the words Saw and Jigsaw scream sadism.

That won't happen for a long while, don't worry.
Some of his traps sure were creative, but I doubt the point of jigsaw puzzles was to test human creativity.
The idea of writing about it sounds exciting though.
Saw's the first thing that comes to mind when someone in a videogame wakes up but doesn't know where they are before being forced to explore their surroundings to escape.
Well what I was thinking is well ok when Ainz had the idea of testing out the guild defenses it worked as expected though he went rather overboard against the workers when he invited them through a proxy.
So with us we can modify the plan. Workers are for the skeevy stuff so they can still be used if we want to prevent knowledge of the guild base from leaking out. I was thinking we could later try admantite adventurers but only if we went more public about our guild but I'm not too fond of that idea and they might complain about the hazards of the job.
So it'll be workers. Considered to be nothing but criminal riff raff that can be deemed disposable to test out the dangers of invading a guild base but they can be paid generously for their time as they'll be resurrected and have their memories altered after a long term job well done as a social experiment. Bonus includes agreeing to be placed under specific conditions in the guild to do something like escaping from one area.
Or we'll just be boring and make homunculus to do all that.
Funny enough I only heard about it but never watched it.

How about:
[] Have several angels NPCs with an NPC inhabiting your angel body show up partway through the invasion. Have them show up before Wizzomatic before he faces off against note worthy soldiers then appear to leave him be. It would be demoralizing for the armies of the Theocracies to see them be 'abandoned' by the messengers of the gods with it also presenting an opportunity to use their appearance to twist to your advantage.
Thinking that since we had Celestae show up which would likely have spread to the rest of the higher ups at least that this could be a way to seriously demoralize the Slane Theocracy while using the opportunity to spread rumors that either the angels support Wizzomatic or that even that Wizzomatic may be a god without out seeming we directly supporting it.
I guess one of our NPCs can posses our angel body.
Which makes me think back to testing the guild base defenses for a more interesting experiment. Provide human bodies for guild NPCs to posses and test the defenses instead to see how well they'll fare with limits to their power with only what they have and their noggin.
Edit: maybe have the angels bow before Wizzo for better effect.

Well if we are paying workers and even outright admitting the risks(while hiding who we are and the actual location) where the people get ressurected upon death and have their memories altered then I don't see as much issue. Sure we may end up with people who for some reason keep dreaming about their own deaths or an underwater city filled with horror(talking about a good old Lovecraft refference) which may cause some madness in people, possibly for the rest of their lives, but at least we are honest about the whole thing.
Not our fault that there are always idiots that would always underestimate the dangers despite them being stated.
Could invite em while looking all mysterious like a nazgul.
We could use homunculus but I feel that defeats the purpose of testing the guild defences from locals invading. A different kind of invasion like a horde insect hivemind? Could try it with automatons.
I guess we could make guild defences to try and be non lethal to test out capture mechanics.

So this was the vote for becoming a god. A field boss in his own right.
Honestly why it didn't win is cause summoning 5 great horrors is way cooler, not to mention it has a better name. [The Five Dark Wishes of a Madman]
Anyhow, the date with the Queen was so cute!
Is it me, or did Wiz botch his attempt at leading her on? Chocolate and the most adorable pet as a gift? Cause it looks like he was quite accepting and receptive of her advances trough his action, if not his thoughts. Heh, his true weakness, girls.

Doubt it was botched as the queen was quite love at first sight.
It's just Wiz being Wiz plus Kaori freaked him out.
