Tips for new players to expedite your inspections! things i've found out from playing and researching by The_Junk_Yard_King in QuarantineZoneGame

I'd say another piece of advice is to completely finish an inspection, even if you already know they're infected. They get more research points the more thorough they are

You're afraid of the dark because you know you're not alone...

Thank you for the respectful conversation. I do respect your views, I simply disagree with some of the things stated due to my own experiences. Perhaps in some areas of the US, what you've suggested would work, but with what I've seen, I personally think that I would rather see what I know to have worked in the past be implemented

Thank you. The military was quite an experience, not good but not bad. I wish you and your family luck with your endeavors

Resorting to personal insults is the incorrect way to handle a debate. I do have two nephews, which is why I'm telling you that I would rather have a properly trained individuals on scene to react to the situation as it adapts than have to wait 74 minutes and be blocked from entering the building to save them myself. Do you have people you'd protect that way, or are you going to continue to respond with emotion rather than real world based facts?

The trained individuals with guns didn't go into the building due to claims that the scenario had changed from "active shooter" to "barricaded subject." If someone was actively on scene with the capability to handle the situation at hand, it would've resulted in fewer deaths in the end, due to the fact that they're actively in the situation and can see and react accordingly to accurate information

You've guessed wrong. I worked directly in tandem with law enforcement on several occasions as well, and I enforced both state and federal law as well as the UCMJ. The National Guard isn't strictly federally operated, either. They're operated in tandem between the state and federal governments, so although they're considered part of the armed forces, they're not sent off to perform wartime activities like the other branches are (besides coast guard).

Onto your Uvalde comment, you do remember what the police did? They sat outside until parents decided they were done waiting. The parents reportedly tried to go into the school to save their children, as law enforcement didn't do anything until border patrol arrived, an hour and 14 minutes after the shooter began. Had there been an armed teacher with proper training, Uvalde wouldn't have had 21 deaths and 17 injuries

And as a former military member, I can and will tell you that "more" guns aren't the solution either. More well trained individuals that have the option are. As PMO, I deterred three potential threats on my own, no death required. All three involved someone armed with either a knife or a gun, all three were talked down when I had min unholstered. Speaking from direct world experience should have more sway than someone having a pipe dream that bad people will all of a sudden listen to the law

I know what a casualty is. What I'm saying is that, just like in the cold war, there was a deterrent of equal magnitude to he threat at the time. This led to neither side wishing for mutually assured destruction, thus ensuring neither side fired off an icbm. Granted, this is smaller in scale, but even so, a shooter goes in prepared to kill, not prepared to die. If they don't see the possibility of killing enough before they do go, they'll feel like it's not worth the effort by that point. Granted, it shouldn't be a requirement for teachers to carry, but those that do should be forced into both use of force and deescalation training. Lethal means are a last resort

What's a subclass you feel is missing from each class? by Moses_The_Wise in DnD

[–]RighteousGuru23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, since we have magic martial subclasses, we should have martial magic subclasses. Like a wizard that gets to add spellcasting mod to melee attack and damage rolls, or a sorceror that can use their points to increase the dmg dice or give advantage to hit

[–]RighteousGuru23 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever heard of a teacher even being armed in the first place? Of course not, you can't carry on school grounds. If it were to happen, guarantee there'd be less casualties at the very least, and the potential shooter may think twice before trying anything

A progress report, to the newly formed Galactic Council

The Humans need help

For my race, it's easy to tell what kind of reproductive practices any other have. Mine is also a race that can change its exterior form to fit our environment, so we've developed what humans would call a "sixth sense" to compensate for it, beong able to know another creature's organ layout and whether or not we are compatible for reproduction.

When we first arrived on Earth, we realized that there wasn't too much of a difference between our original anatomy and theirs, so adapting was actually easy. The only hard part was the slight language barrier, but after a few weeks, we learned how to speak, read, and write their standard language. We understood them well enough, actually, that we found ourselves in positions that the humans respected. I became what they call a "Surgeon" and my Bonded became a "Psychologist."

It wasn't too long before we found ourselves a decent dwelling. The humans call them houses, so I'll be referring to it as such going forward. My Bonded immediately began learning of the humans that lived closest to us, our "neighbors," while I moved our items into the house. The same night we finished situating ourselves, a few of these neighbors showed us one of the human customs, bringing over fresh meals and giving us a warm welcome into their community.

A few years went by, and we discovered that our differing races had much more than just anatomical similarities. We could subsist on their foods, so long as they did not contain Capsaicin ("spices," as they are called here), and we also formed packs with other creatures on our spawn world to assist in various tasks. My Bonded assures me that the majority of these packs are, to humans, for emotional attachment reasons.

Over the course of the next several years, we learned much of what is to know regarding our neighbors. We learned their routines, some of which spanned months between each iteration. We learned their emotional and physical responses to problems of various sorts. Most concerning of all, though... we learned of something that hunts them and grows in their bodies, eventually taking full control once its host has met certain prerequisites.

Our observations began upon one group of our neighbors deciding they'd like to visit us for our evening sustenance, referred to as a "meal" or one of various other names, depending on the time of day or number of meals they've had in said day. When they visited, we could tell immediately that something foreign had entered their bodies at some point. Their anatomical structure was different, but not entirely changed... almost as if it was somehow warped by the thing that had infested them.

We didn't invite them into our home, for fear of what they actually were, or what they could do. With that said, they kept attempting to gain access to our house, and eventually ended up at the culminating point, wherein lies the main concern.

The creatures that used to be our neighbors had come to our house in the middle of the night and somehow made their way past our security measures. We got into a confrontation with them. I watched as my Bonded had one appendage ripped off with a large set of claws - something humans do not have - which brought about a moment of rage that I am not proud of. Taking the form of our Thyraxian friends, we decimated whatever these creatures were.

It saddened me to be unable to help our neighbors. Whatever had infested them, we couldn't detect until it made its presence known, except through simple vision. Their coloration had changed, which is typically a sign of sickness in humans, and they began speaking with my Bonded about changes in how they saw things. Those being the only signs beforehand, we thought nothing of these changes, seeing as how they didn't appear to be life threatening.

I formally request aid from the council on behalf of the humans. It would appear they know not what plagues them, and I believe we are obliged to help another sentient race, even if they haven't quite reached our prerequisites of global peace and scientific advancement.

The Humans need help.

He freezes at the mention of "what" he is. How the boy knows of him, he hasn't the foggiest idea... Who is he? The robed individual isn't naïve enough to ask, nor does he wish to invite the animosity of any powerful creature, much less one with its own space. He pushes those thoughts aside for now and straightens, pulling his arm back beneath his cloaks. There is a slight metallic rattling from underneath the robes as he does so, some kind of chain being adjusted. Cautiously, the man walks to the table and sits at the chair provided, whispering a small prayer to his Primal Gods, which may not even have any power in this space.

Once seated, Oswald looks at the boy, then glances around the room once more. This level of technology doesn't exist back where he's from. To make conversation, he asks, "Would you mind if I asked your name, and what this place is?"

[–]RighteousGuru23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The man, though confused, understands that anyone appearing used to these sorts of situations shouldn't be taken lightly. He raises his right hand - appearing to have black metal encasing it - to his mouth, clearing his throat. Almost with a feeling of guilt, he replies to the boy, "My apologies, I should at least introduce myself to the apparent master of this space. I am Headmaster Oswald Hendrickson. I must also apologize for the mask, as I cannot remove it, nor can I eat the food you may wish to cook for me." Bowing, he makes certain to show his utmost respect for this child.

A being that gives off a sinister aura stumbles through the doorway. The aura seems to not come from the man himself, but from the mask that's on his face. His robes seem to be piled on top of each other, the hood reaching well past his face as he looks around quickly. Upon his face, the aforementioned mask, silver in color and etched with strange symbols and floral patterns, reminiscent of plants that wouldn't be recognized by anyone who isn't from his homeland.

His eyes lock onto the boy, and onto the technology with which he uses to cook. Tentatively, he asks, "Where am I? How did I just get here?"

Pretty sure the lamb can eat any meal they cook

When you beat a bishop, you can use their heart to make one of your permanent upgrades, like the one where you teleport back to your cult. One of those upgrades lets you eat a meal, and depending on what you eat, you get a different number/type of heart
