If so, then yeah, seems likely.

Yes and no. Honorifics aren't second/third person pronouns as such but for this purpose they play a similar role. In canon Evangelion if someone calls Shinji "Shinji-kun," it's pretty normal. In this quest, it's kiiiiind of a slap.

But because it's jarring to use Japanese honorifics all the time in an English-language work, often the general message that in Japanese would be conveyed by honorifics instead has to be conveyed using other textual means... including pronouns.

 

[Lunaryon]

I think Pheonix was meaning more like the whole Boku / Watashi / Atashi split which is a thing that would be useful, but English doesn't really have that.

 

[GoukaRyuu]

I think Shinji used boku in canon.

Ah, so it's about whether Shinji's father misses her! 🧠

Classic Shinji-Gendo conflict.

I'm liking the dominant options especially where EVA points are concerned but I think this combination is cute and I'm not sure why.

Still viewing with a little bit of anxiety just what we're gonna be able to do with those EVA points.

Well we have 7, so hopefully better than Shinji's canon first 'fight' with an angel.

 

[The3rdCorinthian]

I'm mostly wondering what the deal is with the Eva points.

I think it's... probably related to degree of Canon divergence? Like, Girl Shinji is something, but Trans shinji being a little bit more because it's basically Shinji actually taking control of her life slightly, which iirc isn't really something that Shinji did a lot. The appearance options that gave Eva points also seemed to be a little bit more than just an appearance change, and I'm not sure if Shinji was one for asking questions rather than going with the flow.


That plus the timeline shenanigans makes me very curious as to what is actually going on.

 

[Lunaryon]

alright, so to start with, can I get a:
And since this is the first time that I have called for votes in this quest, I would prefer if any one person only does any single one roll as to avoid on person's luck entirely shaping the update.

1d10 + 12 for Summoned - DC of 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
1d10 + 12 for Paperwork - DC of 16, 18, 20, 22

Alright Rolling Summoned

Edit: WELL, IT'S NOT A ONE, I GUESS?!?

oh this is an omen...

Ok, who the fuck cursed these dice.

I'm pretty sure that's like, 1 in 1000 odds right there.

 

[tygerbright]

Well, at least two of the things are base-level passes but still massive oof.

Click to shrink...

Nah. If you view the total of all three dice as "you must be this unlucky to get this result," then there were 1+3+6+10 ways to get this result or a worse one (such as a 3-1-1 or a 1-2-2). Probability of 2%. Bad, but nowhere near one in a thousand.

 

[Tyrant_Rayne]

Well… it could have worse. It could have been all 1's.

Actually rolling all 2's is incredibly unlikely. So taking this from a certain point of view it can be said to be a sort of 'luck'.

In Zero Escape, Akane notes there is a 1/216 chance of rolling all ones on 3 6 sided dice. 6x6x6.
That's also about 0.46%.

These would be 10 sided, 10×10×10, so yes it is in fact 1/1000.

 

[The3rdCorinthian]

Nah. If you view the total of all three dice as "you must be this unlucky to get this result," then there were 1+3+6+10 ways to get this result or a worse one (such as a 3-1-1 or a 1-2-2). Probability of 2%. Bad, but nowhere near one in a thousand.

I meant specifically rolling 3 2's in a row.

 

[Lunaryon]

Add in a 1 on Bright, that's just... What in the world is going on today?

 

[catDreaming]

Base level successes are still successes, so let's just see what happens.

 

[LENDAR-NOT]

Well this is going to be fun, clearly we're going to get all crits in the next rolls of dice
