Threads of Fate

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Can you perform changes on as many factors as you'd like?

@System

Again, it depends on the amount of change.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

What is the maximum you can change and up to how many times?

@System

Depends on the thing being changed. It can be as much as a one-hundred percent change, but for a specific phenomenon, it tends to be about five alterations.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

How do you classify your limits?

@System

That's a difficult question. I've found that the higher the percentage change, the more difficult it is, for example. Otherwise, it's hard to explain, I suppose.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Win what?

@Disdain

Control of Existence.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Then we need to factor in the limits of that strength.

@System

Right.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

What about a different win condition: convincing the Codex not to try and take over Existence? Are there higher chances of doing that?

@Disdain

That is infeasible. Nyarlathotep believes more strongly than anything else that she must win for the sake of all life.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

In other ways.

@System

Hmm... Presumably, I could allow victory over lesser opponents that would otherwise be too much. I could help us avoid fights we don't want to fight as well. To be honest, I haven't much considered it, once I found out how dangerous a direct confrontation of the two would be.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

How far can you influence it in our favor?

@System

By preventing their fighting, or in other ways?

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Is there time for you to influence it before we release Azathoth? Or, if we're seen to be working against Nyarlahotep, will it be too dangerous to wait?

@Disdain

Giving us a better chance of success in releasing her would be my best use. And unfortunately, while the current chances of Nyarlathotep attacking us if we act before freeing her is low, she is able to change those chances very easily, depending on her whim at the time. However, if we're caught trying to free Azathoth before we succeed, the likelihood of her personally defeating us is very, very high.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

And that's not including the unaligned Codi we want to bring onto our side. How many are there? It may be worth trying to learn about each of them and to convince them to join us, but if there are too many, that might not be fully viable.

@Disdain

Around eighty noteworthy Codi who have yet to pick a side.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Is reading probability all you can do?

@System

I can also influence it, to a large extent. But if we free Azathoth, I will be using my ability to the fullest to prevent their direct confrontation, so do not rely on my ability in your planning.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

Then it's not worth considering.

@System

Correct.

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

I mean, don't oversell me or anything. I'll help with what I can.

@Dynamics

...

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

I'm not overselling you, stupid, I'm selling the group. *Murmurs* But thank you.

@Disdain

...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

My boyfriend is part of a group that's fought and won a few of these wars for Existence in the past. If he can procure their help, perhaps they can be added to the plan. But I know we have enough of us to unite first as it is.

@Disdain

Hence why I invited him here. But yes, exactly.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

30 or so of us capturing 51% of Existence? That does sound like a ghost's dream.

@Disdain

It would require more than the base abilities of the System. I believe it would be closer to eighty-percent, necessary for that.
