Renascence: A Homura Quest

Honorifics or Western-style Titles? I've used both before, which is bothersomely inconsistent

I believe that Higure was referring to our general lack of accumulated resources, rather than any one deficiency we need to correct. Still, that's just my belief; we're really just guessing until we get some confirmation, either in-story or out, from Higure.

That's correct. For one thing, your arsenal is gone: You've been using weaponry accumulated from multiple aircraft carriers (and the carriers themselves), among other things, for the last X loops, and have been unable to defeat Walpurgisnacht. You do not have that anymore. Even having Mami, Kyouko, and Sayaka with you (and it has happened), has not been successful. Too many loops have passed, and Walpurgis is simply insanely powerful at this point. You'll need every advantage you can get to win.

...and that's just if you want to save Madoka. Not even mentioning a Golden End.

If you ever feel that an argument has become meaningless, or disruptive, please ASK for that consent, Carinthium. People are arguing back at you because you are not expressing a willingness to conclude said argument.

Please do not disrupt things and argue needlessly out of a misplaced feeling of social obligation. That is part of what resulted in Mod intervention in PMAS.
 
Homura simply lacks sufficient kittens to beat Walpurgisnacht.

Good Ends Food can be retrieved from the refrigerator.
 
Thusfar, Homura has failed to save Madoka at least in part because she lacks information about non-crossover elements.
 
Then on that regard, I'll join the blue text chat as well :p

*clears throat*

Since we know about the behavior Sayaka Miki adopts under certain situations, and specially when the witchbomb is dropped, continued bond with her will posibly reveal the 'why' of said behaviour, which is potentially beyond canon knowledge. For that regard, same is applied with the other girls as well.

I was considering trying something like this, but didn't want to corner ourselves into acting a certain way. Good luck though!

Heh, thanks. I think this is too specific, but worths taking the shot. Of course, there more stuff to do than just bonding with Sayaka, but surely this would give some goals.

As well as shutting up some opinions.

This, of course, won't change the fact I'll support the idea of bonding with the characters enough to know why some situations press some buttons of them as well. If misinformation is the thing that won't allow us to reach the golden ending, then spending some timelines focusing on something more that is keeping an eye on best pinkette will actually worth it, specially if Higure have told us in this timeline that won't be posible for now.
 
Also, requesting Column 9, Row 3 blue (as a decent overall compromise) for blue statements so that the text doesn't bleed into unreadability on the dark grey background. Column 10, Row 3 blue is ok on the black background of the editor box, but is horrible against the grey background (like this).

Hmm... curse my null knowledge of BBC colors. Let me see what I can do.

EDIT: How about now? for the record I simply use "color=blue". I'll be careful in the future.

EDIT2: Note to self: color is called RoyalBlue

Ah, I don't manually type in the colors; I use the color picker in the editor (fourth button from the left, the underlined A).

However, yes, much more readable now. Though your quote reminds me that it also has to work on the blue quote background. Thankfully 9/3 looks decent there as well (and 10/3 is still bad).

When all you have is a phone... :p

(for the record, I *have* a PC and laptop, but 80% for the time, I only have a phone. That doesn't stop me from posting in SV, though.)

Sure.

Deepening your bond with other Magi is likely to grant you insight into their personalities, which may allow you to more effectively combat the effects of trauma such as the Witchbomb and Lichbomb. This knowledge is certainly going to extend beyond knowledge established by Canon sources, as they only grant a very small sliver of insight into the lives and issues of the Magi that those sources depict.

Nothing you didn't know, really. After all, understanding people is always the key to understanding how to comfort them or avert their suffering, and Canon materials don't say much. Mikimom doesn't even have a canonical name or personality, as far as I can tell, and she's a huge part of her daughter's life, simply by being her mother.
 
Can someone explain..... everything... to me? I read the first three pages and I have no idea why people even started doing the blue text thing and I'm completely lost.

You may want to give a look at the "Rules" spoiler tag in the OP first post. But for convenience, and as a reminder:

Higure said:
Meta Rules:
  • Red Truths: Anything written in red is the literal truth. Other statements, especially those made by myself OOC are likely to be true, but Red is guaranteed to be so. If something that occurs contradicts a Red Truth, you may call me on it by quoting the Red Truth in question, and I will either refute your claim or alter my post accordingly.
  • Blue Truths: Got a theory? Say it in Blue. It will be resolved in Red before the end of the quest. I may choose to answer it sooner if I feel that it is not detrimental to the quest to do so. Major questions will be put off until it is appropriate to reveal the answers, for the sake of not spoiling the quest. Joke theories will be answered immediately or left lingering at random, depending on whether I find it amusing to keep you in the dark or not.
  • Gold Truths: Sometimes a solid Red Truth does not exist. If a Blue Truth cannot be answered with Red (either in the affirmative or the negative), it will be answered with Gold, representing my beliefs or desires regarding the theory. Alternatively, it may used when a Blue needs to be addressed, but a direct answer in Red would result in a severe spoiler.

The red/blue/gold truths are a meta game: in addition to having Homura do/find out things within the quest, we players also have the option of using blue truths to try and find things out ooc. Homura doesn't know about this ooc knowledge unless she runs into it during the quest, but as players, this meta knowledge gives us a lot more options. Especially since the crossovers and expys drastically change what we know as canon to PMMM.
 
Things change between timelines. For example, even if nothing Homura does affects Mikuni Oriko in any way, she may make a different wish in one timeline than she would in another.
 
Wishes can change the time loops as its been theorized with Kamijou Kyosuke´s music tendencies.

Things change between timelines, due to dimensional anomalies and spoiler-related issues. These changes are not common or widespread, however. Obviously, this loop is an exception due to the change in state of the universe from something stronger than "sturdy" to "fragile." Changes will be more common, but not extremely common, between the Fragile loops than they were between the pre-Fragile loops.

Wishes can change the time loops. Some will be changed by Homura's actions, and then change the world retroactively, so that it applies to all Time Loops.

For example, "I wish that the violin had always been the most popular instrument." Or something like that, could effect events prior to March 16th. This would mean that its effect would be valid in all TIme Loop after that. Note that the "always " here would likely be treated as "for a long time," because the Wisher wouldn't really be thinking about times before the violin was invented, and likely not even times before the Wisher's own birth. Intent is considered in Wishes, after all, and allowing the Wisher to have grown up in a Violin-dominated culture is much less costly in terms of Karmic Weight than trying to insert the violin into the entirety of universal history.
