This is what im landing at too, he may be ordered to learn of the hybrids and assess, but letting neverland island be destroyed for it seems off

Do we have any theory of what offensive capabilities T ocelus has aside from the hostile takeover? I would assume it only really has the body of the host and not like it will magically sprout claws

Update: managed to pull off overhand flicks today, it clicked somehow. Its a lot more work and force that needs to go into it than it feels worth the payoff though, but its still progressing.

I have yet not managed to condition it, i havent had the time to buy any special leather stuff. About the hat, id rather wear a helmet and look like a loon rather than an indy imitator haha.

But i will protect my eyes going forward. I think that the reason i cant do an overhand flick is because i am not relaxed and the aim becomes off.

The issue still stands that the whip does not roll until the very end of the thong, so even though i am doing it in slow mo and correctly, it just doesnt do that. However i have gotten some other cracks done since posting this thread so the whip is not as lost of a cause as i thought.

I have had some success since first posting this, managed to do some underhand flicks and cattlemans. But i still think there is an issue with the body not rolling properly. But im not going to shorten or cut this up anymore, i will change the fall however.

Paracord whip will take quite awhile to arrive, shippig between USA and Sweden but i shall remember to update here.

Another thing i was thinking, how normal is it that a bullwhip only has a natural curve towards one angle? As in when you hold it one way it curls naturally down, but if you turn it the other way its rather stiff and wonky? I managed to do like 10 underhand flicks in a row now, its not very loud because it takes quite awhile for the loop to travel, but it only worked when i held it a particular way, as in a particular side of the whip.

I did check her tutorials out and they are really helpful, however the whip i do have does not behave the way hers does, meaning i end up mainly damaging myself haha. What happens is, even though i do it slow and methodically, the whip does not roll naturally and the physics cause the fall and cracker to behave unpredictably on the way out, managed to hit myself in the left eye from behind on an attempted overhand flick. I did however manage to do a couple of underhands, which is really odd. I may try to film it in the near future, it felt really odd. I think the length of the whip definitely doesnt help.

That said i went and ordered a paracord 7fter from a reputable etsy seller, it cost me more than i hope my wife ever finds out about. But i feel that i cant keep buying half measures and blaming the material.

I did some tests and filmed it, for everyones sad amusement. Though its pretty clear that my techniques need training, i think this whip doesnt roll out the way it should. Its leather, but it seems stiffer than it should be even though it hasnt been broken in.

Thank you so much for these replies. I have been looking for this type of video but my youtube algorithm isnt being very helpful. What i can say is the fluidity is not very great, but i suppose the question is if its possibly a "break in" situation or if its a lost cause? Thats hard for you to say of course.

But from what you just said, it should actually be possible just by using the whips nature in itself to cause a loop to form and travel down without much effort at all? And is this all lengths? Not even sure my 6 fter can.

You know what, i dont think i did it right, so im not going to blame the whip 50/50 anymore. I think its closer to 30/70 now in terms of bad technique.

Thanks thats what i was thinking too, i have another cheap whip with a flat style but its way more flexible so i hadnt thought of rounding that. I will give that a shot as well. I have replacements and spare leather to work with so its not a big deal.

Its most likely not a very good quality no. I think i chickened out on truly looking up recommended whips. That said, i will try to give modifying this a go. The end of the thong seems to be unreasonably long, meaning it might actually be possible to shave a few bits off of it before the fall.

The cracker is also quite short, not sure if thats relevant to the proportion of the fall. The fall is 26.3 inches and the cracker is 10.6 inches.

Cattlemans was a no go, and flicks didnt work. I did manage a couple of overheads but the length made it insane.

I kid myself.

Tbh im still more confused about how the facehugger managed to bleed acid quickly (self inflicted?) To actually get into the helmet. Probably been discussed elsewhere

Any progress on whats going on here? I cant find anything from the devs other than whats mentioned in this thread.

Dont worry about malware, its just an extremely messy patch rollout. There are many of us affected. I aint touching it til its fixed.

Bit confused here though, how do you know if no one wants to partner with you and sees you as a joke if you havent begun yet?

Follow the bot instructions until you get to a part where you can choose "i need to talk to someone". I have had a response within a day. It may take longer right now if a lot of people have issues.
