... with at *least* 50 turns by level 9 (and that assumes you're going to use free runaways for all non-critical combats). If you really race through NCI live as possible and use all the shortcuts and free runaways you possibly can, it's okay to have about 15 turns by the time you reach level 11. ...

... I need a break from all that. Probably one of the most frustrating runs, especially when I'd get strings of talkative and ghostly foes in a row. NCI was probably the worst since it so helpfully shows you your lack of progress.

I did notice. And I went and found a what I needed in the desert in about 10 turns so I was dead pleased.

Now just on the hunt for stuff in the NCI live building so I can progress. I'll be level 15 by the time I fight Mick at this rate!

... (checked gonzo accountant only) Assuming full salt of the earth and 5% base rate (for 12% critical rate), that's around 40% of just skipping a NCI room even without using free runaway ... Trying to get a shimmering chaos or two eh?

Stupid NCI.

12 days
49h 41m 0s

Should have been 11 days, but nooooooooo, I had to waste over a dozen turns and 4 smoke bombs trying to get a paperclip.

I was pretty rusty after taking a large chunk of time off. I used the few squids I could find in the mall and about 20 red eyes in the NCI. Considering how much time I had left over, I didn't really need to use either to finish in two days. Again, rusty. Thanks for hosting, HD. It was nice ...

... Mouths of Darkness - Central Cave? It's one of the few places that don't already have one. I think there's also no turnlength indicator in the NCI live. Actually, wouldn't it make sense to put a turnlength indicator next to the turnsleft indicator on the left pane? (for example, change "(100 ...

I propose that NCI Live be the 'sponsor' of the unbranded arena.

Or maybe I'll just skip NCI altogether... I'm currently level 11 with 3,566 XP until 12. Ran into ...

... today. Haven't gotten anything useful from villains yet, and died to the only one that had stats buff, Biff Socko. Didn't take any extra turns for NCI today, but still won't make it to Mick today. About 5 turns short. Really need some -time. Wish I got that xelor watch and xentrium breastplate. ...

... a normal run or I'd have easily made 4 days. Today I finished off the remaining quests, hit level 11 with 17 turns remaining and then started NCI. I did the long form of the mouths of darkness and grabbed all the beautiful points I could from the rooftops. Tomorrow is finishing that off and ...

Granted, I red-eyed all of NCI and most of the level 8 and 10 quests, but that was more because I wanted to finish on day 3, as opposed to waiting another day. I'm going to do ...

Cristiona

Well, I've made it to NCI, and now I'm languishing and trying to find a damn paperclip. And being pounded repeatedly by stupid employees. Level 10 was a complete nightmare. You Natty-haters like to complain about Trample missing and ...

... the time; either International Agent (his items and healing), Majestic Nobel (PP restore once I have 1st Aid again), or the Smuggler for blocking. NCI's gonna suck with no inta-kill skill like the other three classes. At least I can drink coffee and have sugar to make this as brief as possible.

Villains override, so even though you clicked on a room in NCI you didn't actually enter that room because the villain got to you first.

During this retcon, I chose to fight wandering and static villains. In the NCI Live building, I encountered Terce when I clicked on the office area that requires the grappling hook. After I defeated Terce, the grappling hook area was still un-cleared. I had to ...

Pretty sure I'm content with everything under level 11, which means the Robot Hive + R-R-Ranch are done, but the Santarium, NCI, and on up are not.

... would totally kill the car, and you might lose some time walking back to your Hideout(Why don't you lose time after you destroy your motorcycle in NCI?). It won't kill guys like The Mick, The Bard or the Octoron because they're inside. C'mon, you know this is an awesome idea.

... some things to make those things have a little more coherence and consistency, and also maybe distribute some imbalances (psychic resistances in NCI, I'm looking at you ....). In the meantime, assume much of what you've memorized about various foe elemental facts may be changing.

When you try to adventure again in an NCI room you already cleared you get the "Yeah, Empty Is Still Empty" note, but the image is missing. It points to a non-existing "images/foes/empty-office.jpg"
