Funny how that happens, isn't it? The same thing happened to me on my first run: killed the Mick with 0 turns left and had to drop my diet restriction to finish it that day. It was worth it though.

Cristiona

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE! Got to the Mick with 2 turns left. I had two plans for beating him: the one I thought of originally, and another that formed as I went through NCI. Had I gone with the new plan, I'd be done. But nooooooo... that last ...

I'd enjoy both the mall and the leagues, but you bring up some very good points about the downsides involved there. and the puzzle ideas sound fantastic, but ultimately I'm more interested in the story. Especially with that teaser after the Mick fight.

Thanks for all the fun stuff Ryme!

... point I think I'll keep the higher-level stuff optional (possibly subject to change at some future date, with a lot of warning), but obviously the Mick showdown leaves you with questions, and I'd like to be able to start to answer some of those, even if it's only answering questions with questions. ...

... revolving around this discrepancy might be fun - but I wonder how it'd be rolled out! Also, I don't think you can continue concealing who the Mick may be. It's not that hard to figure out :wink: Additionally, please note this error too: http://th.blandsauce.com/wiki/Trouble_in_the_Wasteland#Notes

For a "high" level boss (possibly mick) it would be cool to have the enemy reflect any skills and/or items used against it. Devastating, especially to tnt users...

... for the initial release of retcon to include? [N] Ryme : I don't have an answer for that, really, SN. Definitely one final showdown quest with The Mick. Ideally a bunch of extra flavor around the types of runs, and leaderboards. [N] Ryme : Beyond that ... I may try to just get it done, and then ...

... A simple (but probably disliked) solution to the Memento Displays would be to move them to only be accessed from the retcon shop post mick. Yes it would be restrictive on being able to access it, and could lead to people selling off items they meant to place in the memento, but that's ...

Cristiona

I realised the above has the issue of skill points, but I think I have an idea. When you finish the run (beat the Mick, hit your level, whatever), you're given "perm points" based on difficulty. These could be non-items stored on the character sheet (as opposed to Retcon ...

The right hand evil of The Mick.

Isn't the Mick supposed to be your arch-nemesis? Why need another?

Cristiona

They'd probably just scale to your level (all good villains do). If you started adding stuff in like them gaining specific enhancements from Mick or gaining special powers based on what you do, that could get pretty complicated. Hm "Welcome to the game! Please enter your name! Pick a class! ...

I'm pretty damn sure that Cris is not Livia. It just doesn't make sense.

You know, it IS possible that any known description of The Mick is a front for the real Mick.
