[] Form Control (-2 Points)
[] "Friend" Bio-Tinker Specialty (-2 Points)

@Alivaril - Would we be able to turn into our own creations, with this setup?
Yes.

@AramilOniasha
@Alivaril Would our friends also get powers from wearing little hats.
EDIT: I love that idea too much to say "No." Assuming Friends references Host's bio-tinker creations, of course.
Weaker versions to avoid it being brokenly OP compared to every other option, but they'd still get abilities.
 
Plan Cattroll
[] Fedorable (-1 Points)
[] Mic Drop (-1 Point)
[] Cat-Based Teleportation (-2 Points)
[] Read-only, Human Senses (-2 Points)

This seems like the ultimate trolling build.
We could be anywhere and do anything and they would never know!

As said before Mic drop works to let us escape and teleport if we're caught.
And read-only senses would help use our teleportation and stealth in the first place.

Fedorable for Kitty ears.
 
[] "Friend" Bio-Tinker Specialty (-2 Points)
-[] Big Siblings (-1 Point)
--[] Sky-Based Friends (-1 Point)
[] Cat-Based Teleportation (-2 Points)



With this we get Piggot and Saint to have an aneurysm, on top of also being able to escape any capture attempt and loot whatever we want with impunity.
 
Nah, "ultimate trolling" would require the one that lets Host know how much she's annoying people. Better feedback => stronger optimation.
Eh, I meant for us to troll,not in character. the original was the most fun when QA was freaking people out and annoying them with out knowing.
I get this is an original quest but I dunno.
 
[] Save Scumming (-1 Point)
Once her brain is somewhat repaired, you will be able to partially awaken Host and see what she thinks of her new life. She'll still think it's a dream for the first few hours and you can return her to proper dreaming if her reaction is unsatisfactory.
We should absolutely take this one. First quest lacked interaction between Taylor and QA.
 
Synergy!

Being able to deprive up to 3 people of their sight lets Host make more use of "Fashion is serious Business" and "Cat-based Teleportation".

[] Cat-Based Teleportation (-2 Points)
-[] Since when are they real people? (+1 Point)

[] Read-only, Human Senses (-2 Points)
-[] Horrible Host Hardware (+1 Point) -[]Write Access, Human Senses (-1 Point)
 
I would like to see something like

[] Fedorable (-1 Points)
[] "Friend" Bio-Tinker Specialty (-2 Points)
-[] Shared Sights (-1 Point)
-[] Repurpose Mass (-1 Point)

No strong preference about the last point. Basically, adorable zerg in hats.

That is all.

Edited description to make it more clear that Taylor would mostly regain control in the process.

[] Save Scumming (-1 Point)
Once her brain is somewhat repaired, you will be able to partially awaken Host, almost completely return control of her body, and see what she thinks of her new life. She'll still think it's a dream for the first few hours and you can return her to proper dreaming if her reaction is unsatisfactory.

You could leave her written notes or the like for indirect communication, but you don't think you'll be able to directly speak with her.

I get this is an original quest but I dunno.
???

It is explicitly not an original quest. Worm is the property of Wildbow, etc.

I like this? I do really want save scumming, and cat based teleportion isn't that much weaker so long as we still have mic drop to duck away from crowds.

Yeah that actually does seem like a fun plan.
I think I may have ignored some of the options that gave more points, I'll support this.
 
Is no one considering Save Scumming?

I think it'd be hilarious.

Edit: talked too soon! Yay!
 
I don't get why people keep talking about Teleportation and Read-Only access as if they synergize. Can someone (anyone?) explain their reasoning?
 
I'm partial to the Friend -> Skynet tree. Along with Save-scumming and Administrative access, software.
[Host] is going to wake up some time, so let's make sure she's got plenty of friends waiting for her!
 
Ah @Alivaril I forgot to tag you, so I'll repost this:

Those sound like good guidelines, yes. You can propose whatever you feel like, but I'll be editing in "approved" ideas to the original post.
What about something like this:

Write Access, Memory (-2 Points)
You Host has the ability to make edits to the memories of other humans, changing everything from their opinion of you to basic facts about their lives.
Why couldn't they be real people? (+1 Points)
Non-Hosts are not valid targets for this power.

This would be very strong in the hands of a real human with all the relevant cultural contexts work off of, but QA has absolutely no idea what's a realistic memory and what's not - the drawback would be our inability to really make use of this power, at least until QA gets the hang of humans. It also provides a strong incentive for QA to try and figure humans out on a social level, which would be pretty neat to read (and hopefully write!)

I think the idea is that if you can see everything everyone can see then its easy to keep out of line of sight.
I'm curious why nobody pointed out how Write Access Senses is just better at that as an upgrade or if they just thought it was implicit. After all you can't see me if you can't see! Or using the Dreamer stuff and potentially just letting her drop the Extension if she gets in a situation she can't just teleport out of.

Frankly my favorite plan is probably maxing out the Tinker tree and using Dreamer to get a second pair of hands.
 
I like the idea of Sky-based friends. Dragon could use a playmate and I'm really curious to see what QA thinks or completely ignores regarding ethics. Saint's reaction alone would be worth seeing.

On the off chance we can make Skynet trigger... things will become very interesting.
