After seeing what happened with glitchy collisions last time, Jumble decides not to use the skip.  Instead, he...

Well actually, he doesn't know what to do next.  Jumble's also a bit tired of reading through the online guide, so he goes on Twitch and clicks on the first livestream of this game, to see if there's any other strats they might be using.

Quote from: Fell RekekkaGus stares the Dark Lord down, his cold, calculative eyes staring down into his soul, before looking at the troops. After he is done assessing the troops, he then turns back to the Dark Lord, trying to form a correct course of action. While he was hoping to negotiate something, it seems like the Dark Lord is beyond reason.


....No. He knows what he must do. In order to achieve his grand plan, he'd have to don the title of "Dark Lord" himself. With this new thought in mind, all Gus does is raise his hand up towards the Dark Lord, silent and stoic, and utters an incomprehensible word, before completely eviscerating the Dark Lord out of existence.

"What are y-..."

But the Dark Lord can't finish his sentence. Gus has already snapped the Dark Lord out of existence, and assumed his position.

Gus has become the Dark Lord.

Quote from: FlashFlireVi touches the wishing orb, and asks for 100 beries.
It probably doesn't matter if she gets hit by Goose shooting at everyone, she needs to get the danger strats going anyway.

As soon as Vi asks, she notices a hundred berries suddenly appear in her inventory.

Joseph sticks his hand inside the wall, hearing a lot of thudding noises coming from the wall as he moves about. He can feel something which feels like a bottle, tapering off at one end.

Quote from: DeepFriedBaconPull an anything out of the wishing orb

The Creator pulls another Anything out of the Wishing Orb, just like the one he had before.

Quote from: Fishmaelgooose startds loaiding gunwitht things thatare atround thatare nsot bullelts. tehgun holdss sixthings.

Goose runs around and grabs all sorts of things, managing to load the following into the gun:

- A sword.
- One of the guards.
- A tree.
- A large ornamental chair.
- A heavy history book.
- A wall sconce, holding a torch.

Goose's gun is first-in, last-out, meaning Goose will fire the sword out first. Goose can, however, spin the barrel to land on a random item.

Surprisingly, when Jumble checks Twitch, he can't find a single livestream of the game.

Not just right now. He can't find a livestream of the game ANYWHERE. It appears very little video footage of this game exists.

Oddly enough, however, there is a strange-looking prompt on the search screen.

Looks like there's no stréąḿʂ of that game. Do you ẃáńʈ to G O L I V E?

Something's up with the text, but the Go Live button is definitely clickable.

Fares gets confused at the apparent error that had happened, that he has attempted to glitch his way into Dark Lords room himself. "There's gotta be the way to slay that Dark Lord."

Meanwhile...

"Tell Pinkie Pie to yell at Tymewalk next time he messes that badly..."
"Ah, that same rainbow mane over and over again being you giving and idea to use a pink mane to do the work. It would work if Tyme was a pony himself. But he's a human, a human weakness would be... y'know, Weird Al' Yankovic! *seeing his expression* Nevermind, we can try."

Now that Gus (Guy) is the self proclaimed "Dark Lord" He begins his efforts be trying to reorganize the stragglers that might of ran off when he eviscerated the Dark Lord. Afterwards, he dons the old Lord's clothing (very fashionable I might add) and begins to exit the bunker. Now begins his quest to be the...



... That aside, he wants to see if he can recruit any of the players so that he can actually go through with his grand plan.

Joseph decides to peek inside to see what the thing that feels like a bottle is.

Jumble immediately clicks the "Go Live" button.  After all, nothing has ever gone bad from clicking weird Zalgo text...so far.

The Creator levels up, and can now run at speed of sound, fly freely, and make any object appear out of thin air at will.

I must admit, I do have quite the soft spot for Weird Al Yankovic. Honestly, you could probably get me distracted by getting me to sing the fast part from Ha-

Okay, something is completely broken. I don't know what happened to this game, but I'm gonna need to step out for a sec and try to figure out exactly what went wrong. So... I'm gonna let AutoGM take over. Peace, folks.

Greetings! I am Otto, the Automated Game Master for Insanity. I have been instructed to handle the game from here on.

I have been instructed to minimize the number of glitches that occur. This should, as the previous GM put it, "buy us some time so [he] can debug the game". I hope that I can help you in your roleplaying experience!

... That aside, he wants to see if he can recruit any of the players so that he can actually go through with his grand plan.

Exiting the bunker, Gus can see that the Dark Lord had buried himself deep underground. The flashy castle interior is replaced with a series of concrete hallways, with sturdy lights and pipes along the ceiling.

Quote from: cheesyfriedeggsJoseph decides to peek inside to see what the thing that feels like a bottle is.

Attempting to continue to reach into the wall may cause some collision errors. Joseph is forcefully ejected from the wall, as is the bottle.

It appears that there is a ship inside the bottle. How quaint! Additionally, there is a note inside the bottle, rolled up next to the ship.

Quote from: NotAJumbleOfNumbersJumble immediately clicks the "Go Live" button.  After all, nothing has ever gone bad from clicking weird Zalgo text...so far.

Jumble clicks "Go Live", and his view is immediately streamed to Twitch. He can see his phone's view begin to display itself, over and over, endlessly.

It appears that Jumble has also obtained a new item.

Twitch Heads-Up Headband
A pair of glasses, with some sort of digital display over them. Google Glass, anyone?

Enables the Twitch HUD, allowing players to see their stream's stats, chat, and more from their display.

Quote from: DeepFriedBaconThe Creator levels up, and can now run at speed of sound, fly freely, and make any object appear out of thin air at will.

The Creator is currently only a Level 1 Creator. In order to make objects appear, Level 812 is required.

The Creator already has the ability of flight unlocked.

((Uh, is that me, or Fares kind of took a lot more time to research ponies like me?))
((Sorry, I'm back!))

"Hold on a sec, can't believe nobody's able to track down the boss... I mean, I took a few lessons from certain... uh, creature, but even I'm not sure what happened there!" Fares attempts to instead focus on getting more stuff and probably rejoining the main party after that.

Perhaps once his main goal is done, Gus should actually spruce up the bunker. Absolutely dreadful looking. Regardless he begins to roam the hall in hopes to find the exit. Perhaps he might find someone who will join his cause?

The creator forms his anything into a blue lightsaber

goooooose is aevil nowhahahaha yessssssssssssssssssssss he joiness the newd ark loord. mooose will dresroyy anyone whooo apooses darklord becasue gooose is an evil now. andehthen he spins thepbarrel and readies toshooots atanyoene whoooe thingks to oapooses the darkskdlord mwahahahhahahhnya honk.

After finally making high enough terrain, bounces off of the top of the terrain and thus smashes through the window of Tymewalk's house and sends glass everywhere. Using Tymewalk's moment of stepping out to it's advantage, Shutterstock Watermark unplugs Otto, and since the game depends on the AutoGM for the process of wish granting this means that EVERY wish made is now a half-wish because no wish can be completed! Shutterstock Watermark quickly picks up and adds all the sockets in the house to the Shutterstock image library so that Otto can't be plugged back in, uses one of their wishes to create a half-wish, and jumps out another window sending more glass everywhere before Tymewalk can step back in.

The t-posers shoe has been spawning seems to have breached the surface, and uh, is there an entity limit here?

"I shouldn't GM... I really shouldn't. But if bad comes to worse, there's no option other than taking over until Tymewalk fixes it."

Fares then quickly glitches into Tymes house, plugs Otto back in, and glitches to the last place he had been in.

Jumble taks a look at the glasses, decides that they're pretty stylish, and puts them on.  "Hello everyone!  I'm Jumble.", he exclaims, to his non-existent Twitch audience.

Shutterstock Watermark pulls a laptop out of the Shutterstock library and uses it to become Jumble's first Twitch viewer, before spamming ads for Shutterstock into the chat as if they were a bot.

Who unplugged the AutoGM? I guess someone managed to plug him back in, but it looks like ol' Otto's completely forgotten what he was doing. That's quite the shame.

Anyways, all the stuff above happens. The AutoGM being broken is going to make things more complicated, so, um... try not to incur the wrath of any sort of bosses we forgot about, okay?

I'll try and do proper turns manually from now on, seeing as how Otto's going to be out of commission for a while. Guess I'll need to roll some dice, since I don't have a computer.

Wait, the rulebook? Oh snap, I forgot, without the AutoGM there's no easy way to look up the rules of Insanity. Guess we're heading to the library.

We're doin' it oldschool. Buckle up.

Magic, obviously. I know the spell to access the internet, but unfortunately, it only works to post updates for RPGs on the TBGForums.

Okay, I'm going to stop speaking in my in-character voice and start talking in my in-character-out-of-character voice.  I haven't read much of the Insanity rulebook (actually just a few pages when I was bored), but from what I remember changing your text color requires you to roll a d1.  Just a heads up for you.

Uh, I don't have a d1, so I'm going to simulate by flipping a coin.

...oops, I don't have one on me. Lemme check real quick.

Nope. I'll just roll a 20 and if it lands as a number that'll count.

Jumble: Change Color: 1d20 = 2

Yep, you change your color successfully.

Goose: Cause Mischief: 2d6 = 1,2 = 3

Goose can't cause a ton of mischief. It seems like not many people are around to witness it, either.

Shuffling the books will probably be more interesting though. Apparently you need some very... interesting items to run Insanity by hand?

Goose: Shuffle Books: 3x Spanish Words = llanta (tire), borrasca (depression, e.g, area of low pressure), desempleo (unemployment)

Goose shuffles up the books on automobile repair, meteorology, and unemployment benefits in the kingdom.
