Something to add about Violet Dawn is that they have a bad tendency of aggravating CRS abnormalities so even in the late game it can really mess up your facility.

Yep, I discovered an aleph I had is an CRS the hard way because of this.

Two more things: One, I have updated the fanart post once more. I keep it up to date with the freshest memes and fanart from both this thread and its mirror over on LPBeach, so there's a lot of cool stuff there.

Secondly, while I have no money or prizes to offer I would like to put forward a contest:

:siren::frogsiren:Guess how high the Retry count will be when we beat the game, and win Ultimate Bragging Rights!!!:frogsiren::siren:

We're at 4 retries so far already, so I figure we might as well make a game of how high that number's going to get. Again, I can't offer any real prizes, but consider that these are no ordinary bragging rights.

They're Ultimate Bragging Rights. :keke:

If you want to make a guess, head right over here to sign up! I'll keep this open until the end of Day 24 - Gameplay, to give everyone plenty of time to think it over.

Trees and plants tend to grow on this Pokemon's back because it moves so little. It loves eating food while playing with tiny Pokemon.
I'm betting it'll be... waaaay lower than mine. I've had to retry Day 27 like three, four times now, and it's starting to get demoralizing.
Just the most stupid mistakes too, it's not actually a difficulty thing, it's just me. I've got like 14 all-EXes agents and enough Waw/Aleph gear for all of them thanks to a Day 1 reset earlier.

With that in mind, I'm betting... 20. 20 resets. Because that sounds like a plausible number.

Out of interest, you've said you're trying to collect a bunch of bird anomalies, for... Reasons. I know you mentioned that you'll probably see about half of the available anomalies in any given full game run - is there a guarantee that you'll even be able to pick up all of the options you want, or are you just hoping for the best?

I submitted a high number to match a certain other number that could be considered a (minor) spoiler. You may not make it that high... but I bet you'll get uncomfortably close! :v:

I went low. Lets see if I'm way, way too optimistic. Although I haven't played the game, if it's required to progress further or to win the game I don't think those should count.

I went middlingly high for my guess; as I'm 100% sure playing this game would kill me through stress/frustration I didn't mind spoiling myself for some things coming up and uh...it seems even more brutal!

I'm sure TeeQueue will show me up and not reach nearly the level of failure I allowed for, they seem like they're absolutely crushing the game so far. Really enjoying the LP, this game is great even if it's not something I'd enjoy playing.

Considering what TeeQueue had up their sleeve for the violet noon I wouldn't be surprised by anything from no more resets to a zillion to get the right conditions.

imo it all depends on whether OP is willing to just throw a few agents into the woodchipper for one particular thing, unless they know of a way to cheese it that i don't

e: what the hell, i'm going to wager on "no" and go for an even 50

Unless we get incredibly unlucky, we should see the last Bird at some point. By saying this, I may have doomed myself to never see it.

That said... If it decides it doesn't want to play, I have ways of forcing the thing to show up. A good manager always has a backup plan or two. :colbert:

I'll go with 23 cause reasons.

I'd forgotten that you see Tiphereth on that stage of Netzach's story. I guess it makes sense because Netzach is effectively having a breakdown and all the other Sephirah affected by his behaviour make appearances. It also makes me really appreciate the game's writing overall.

My Violet Noon experience is that I never did catch just exactly what was happening with their arrivals, so I'd end days early constantly to not deal with the Violet Noon. Eventually I got tired of that and ended up shoving everyone into an elevator so I can move them out of the way quickly in case the Violet Noon would land on their head. Fast-forward 3-4 Violet Noons before I realize their specific landing conditions.... Derp.

Technically yeah you can make it so that your dudes can survive a Violet Noon landing on their head, but there's honestly also no real reason to facetank that damage if you're paying the slightest bit attention really.
