I'm saying it's holesome
because if you play buckshot you will get holes in your body

yeah that's what I though as well but I forgot the name

guys hear me out

#

if me and my friends would made a buckshot roulette fnf mod

#

would yall play it?

to be honest

no

cause i dont play fnf

I don't play fnf but I'm sure others do

#

I might have a problem

carmine flame
#

bro got 115 hours but not all achievements 😭

hybrid wolf
#

I'm missing the 1M related ones

#

I play a lot, doesn't mean I'm great

#

why do you think I built a bot ? lmao

carmine flame
#

aw unlucky 😭

hybrid wolf
#

admittedly, a lot of those hours are me forgetting to close the game while coding the bot

carmine flame
#

oh

hybrid wolf
#

and then leaving it on during the night

#

because I'm doing trial runs, and then I find a bug, I try to fix it

#

it's currently a bit over 1200 lines of code

#

I basically have to simulate the entire item behaviours

#

and I'm planning on (eventually) adding the actual Dealer AI
maybe
if I find the strength

#

it's actually not that bad, just messy

opal shale
#

and like 3 hours of gameplay

#

I'm a noob compared to most of y'all. 😔

hybrid wolf
#

they say real pros use 1 letter names to get in the game quicker
I say real pros cut the music and put their own silly playlist in the background

carmine flame
opal shale
#

The game though. Can make me genuinely happy. Because of my strategies that, to my surprise, they work.

opal shale
#

I still need to die on 💀 round in normal mod

#

and 1 million score...

#

and then the hidden achievements, I don't know

hybrid wolf
#

is it ?

carmine flame
#

it helps you tell which round it is

#

if you forgot

sour tulip
#

It can be hard at times to remember which round it is

hybrid wolf
#

uh

#

is that really a thing ?

carmine flame
#

also it sounds good

#

yeah the soundtrack changes every round

sour tulip
#

And the music can tell you whether or not it's Round 3

#

Which is the only important round because you need to remember to keep items to transfer to the next Double Or Nothing

hybrid wolf
#

I never noticed

sour tulip
#

And waste pills

bronze olive
#

Round 2 has the best music

#

Before every load my beloved

manic wyvern
#

Me when I get the dealer down to one hp in the third round and the sad music starts playing

#

Trying to make me feel bad

hybrid wolf
#

my advice to you :
actually maybe keep some pills between rounds
because since they're from a previous loadout, if applicable, the dealer will try to steal them first

hybrid wolf
#

even if you have cigs, he will try the pills first

#

he only checks if he has cigs

sour tulip
#

I keep pills on the table if he has adrenaline every time

hybrid wolf
#

but I mean

#

even when starting a new 3 rounds

#

if you can keep 1 or 2 without reducing your chances of getting useful items, it's a good idea

sour tulip
#

Indeed

cobalt epoch
#

i need 100% buckshot roulette soon

sour tulip
#

It's just the most ideal item to get rid of specifically between rounds if you want to get rid of something

cobalt epoch
#

or i will DIE

lofty wharf

#

i have definitely seen him take my smokes instead of pills, when over 1 hp

Smoke all your cigs and steal his so he can’t have any

these stats only account for runs where u dont die right?

hybrid wolf
#

I think so yes

hybrid wolf
#

126 rounds beat, I would assume you won more than that

lofty wharf
#

yea. i have 50 hours playtime

opal shale
#

meh...

#

wait more of them doesnt count if you die

#

okay

bronze olive
#

Id have more time played i could FUCKIN PAUSE OR SAVE

hybrid wolf
umbral spear
lofty wharf
#

literally go afk at any time for pause

#

exit and save would be nice, my average run is over an hour

hybrid wolf
#

that's a bad idea

#

otherwise, just leave the game open, and make sure it doesn't crash

lofty wharf
#

pausing could also be nice if you want to do other things on the computer so you dont hear the music. and i guess it could save a tiny bit of energy

Wonder if it opens up savescumming, (more) leaderboard exploits, if not at least another way to introduce fake speedruns 🤔

lofty wharf

leaderboards is already a massive joke so would it rly be that much of an issue to let people save

hybrid wolf
#

what even are the cheating methods ?

#

is it just straight up changing the numbers in the code ?

The dealer is always cheating. J/K

i wonder if anyones made an item tier list

earnest flicker
#

If they did I really hope they put handcuffs or beer at S tier

slate estuary
earnest flicker
#

Me too

slate estuary
#

beer is solid, dont think its S tier tho

#

id give it a solid B

earnest flicker
earnest flicker
slate estuary
#

hell yea

#

the problem with beer is its not super useful unless theres a low amount of shells

earnest flicker
#

Yeah but at 4 shells or less it’s so goddamn good

slate estuary
#

meanwhile with the magnifying glass its always! useful unless you're you already know everything left

#

thats the reason i give beer a B, its good in the right situations

earnest flicker
#

Cool

slate estuary
#

but yea it is very useful at low shell counts

#

medicine is bottom tier tho imo, worst item in the game

#

the only use i get out of it is hoping the dealer steals it n hurts himself

# uncut ruin What does clubbing the dealer do?

Could potentially shuffle what’s in the shotgun. Spose that doesn’t make a ton of sense, concussion shuffling the gun… idk. Probably just a confirmed damage deal but it has a chance to poison you or something no clue I just want beans.

Though the more I think about it the more I like the idea of an item that shuffles what’s in the gun. We have a lot of intel items atm. You see there’s two blanks, two lives, you shuffle what’s in the gun and now it’s scary. 4 lives? 3 blanks and 1 live? Maybe even 5 blanks? Maybe a blindfold could do that? Would probably be better for multiplayer though, since the ai is weird with how it tracks the shells.

hybrid wolf
opal shale
#

and nice banner

hybrid wolf
#

lol, I didn’t see this one

#

I don’t like shell shuffling as much as being able to swap two shells

#

And the opponent doesn’t know which ones have changed

#

So either you get info from the phone and move the guaranteed shell in the chamber
Or you use the MG, and place the shell in the dealer’s hand, knowing he’ll either shoot you with a blank or shoot himself with a live

#

Or any combination of this

#

You can even play the Monty hall problem lol

#

In a 1-2 situation
“You “chose” shell number one the one in the chamber, let me open a door use the phone and reveal what’s behind it. IT’S A BLANK ! Do you keep your choice ? Or do you want to switch ?”

#

I honestly see a lot of potential in an item like this

#

Same for a 1 turn shield

#

If you know you’re gonna get shot no matter what, get a temporary extra charge

#

You still get perma damage from multiple shots or handsaw damage, but you at least absorb the first shot

#

And it applies even at max health

There’s a 4th one

and "1000K" and "Digita, Orava and Koni" and "Know When to Quit" and the mysterious "???"

#

I aimed for the Full house achievement yesterday and today, but its hard as frick...:(

hybrid wolf
#

Aaah right, the lesser full house

sour tulip
#

So the two get a million achievements and Full House

#

Because the other one is just a smaller version of it

opal shale
#

second completed game of mine? (after CS2???)

sour tulip
#

You'll need to perfect your strategy to get the million achievements

#

Otherwise the luck will overwhelm you

opal shale
#

I mean

#

before today i choose random names, and couldn't get past the first double or nothing win, except for once

#

today I chose the name "Relaed," and I won the first round of double or nothing at least 3 times including now

the dealer was just silly today, and shot himself sometimes lol

there's gems like this one lol

What's the latest version of Buckshot Roulette? Why are people saying it's 60% chance of 1 damage and 40% of getting two health when using medicine?

#

wait, nvm, I see it in the patch notes now

#

they just read it wrong, lol

opal shale
#

changed to 50%

#

was surprised it was different back then

#

got a tiny heart attack because i thought i translated it wrong in hungarian lmao

lofty wharf
#

it used to be better 😔

opal shale
#

50%, but i die all the time when i consume the medicine

silk trench
#

same lol

#

what's the deal with the $10 highscores everyone's tired of seeing posted? Was the money calculation changed?

lofty wharf
#

yea you lose money based on how long you take in the first 3 rounds of double or nothing

opal shale
#

you lose money?

silk trench
#

oh, it's just the initial amount that gets doubles that's decreased, I see

#

66 dollars a second, that's a lot

lofty wharf
#

totally legit scores

hybrid wolf
#

yup

#

what's interesting is that they're probably ordered by the number of rounds won first, and score second

#

otherwise idk how those negative numbers would get ordered like this

opal shale
#

no no, they are just this good at the game.

hybrid wolf
#

highest score had a starting score that had the binary for 8417 in it somewhere

#

possible starting scores :

 8417
24801
41185
57569 (unlikely)
16834
49602
33668
#

which means a supposed 49 to 51 doublings
so 147 to 153 consecutive rounds won

silk trench
#

if it's a negative number it has to be somewhere around that

hybrid wolf
#

(there's technically another possible score but it's above 60k, and I don't even think a TAS can achieve that)

silk trench
#

ref one of my streams way long ago

hybrid wolf
silk trench
#

yea, so somewhere around that

hybrid wolf
#

not just somewhere, I'm actually doing the maths lol

silk trench
#

yea, I'm saying that if the score is negative on the leaderboard, we already know it's around that amount of consecutive rounds won

#

even without doing the math

hybrid wolf
#

I suppose

#

do you know the maximum number of doublings tho ?

silk trench
#

without going negative?

hybrid wolf
#

no just in general

silk trench
#

well, it's binary

hybrid wolf
#

well theoretically you can go infinite
but at some point it stops being useful

silk trench
#

so every odd number can go on the "longest" without becoming 0

#

if you have 1 then you can do 63 doublings before you get an overflow, but since 10 is the minimum that's not possible

hybrid wolf
#

10 is not the minimum

#

well

#

in some sense

silk trench
#

minimum starting number

hybrid wolf
#

right

#

the real flex is getting 0 on the leaderboard

#

x)

#

11 is the lowest starting number that can get you to max non-0 doublings

silk trench
#

70000 in binary is b10001000101110000
meaning the best starting number is b01111111111111111 = 65535, which gives you b1111111111111111000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 before overflowing

hybrid wolf
#

which is 63

silk trench
#

o, like that

silk trench
#

then the lowest odd number over 10 will be the lowest starting score

#

but 69999 would also give the same amount of non-zero doublings

hybrid wolf
#

alternatively, wait 4 billion years, and get a starting score of 0b0111111111111111000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

silk trench
#

true lol

hybrid wolf
#

it needs to be positive so

#

one doubling

#

and you're max score

silk trench
#

I wonder how fast you can beat 3 rounds if you only get 2 health rounds, start with hand saw, and first shot is live

hybrid wolf
#

you can't have handsaws in 2 charge rounds
but because of the way the dealer is coded, if the first two shells are live, he will shoot himself

silk trench
soft nova
#

If it's a 1/1 situation, and you have both a burner phone and a magnifying glass, which one would you use?

sour tulip
#

But only after the first load is complete

hybrid wolf
#

you need a run that has :
3 rounds of 2 charge
at least 2 live rounds
that are at the start of the sequence
2 items
that have to be, for the dealer, a combination of pills, inverters, and adrenaline
for the player you can have anything if the dealer doesn't have adrenaline, otherwise you need the same set of items as him

in this situation, it's the fastest it can be, 3 rounds of getting 2 items, shooting the dealer, and getting the dealer to shoot himself without using items

that's a 1 in 21.4 million games

sour tulip
#

Both do effectively the same thing and on average the burner phone is not as immediately helpful as a magnifying glass, especially for a 1/1 situation where you might want to end the Dealer immediately on the next load

hybrid wolf
#

well

#

if I know the dealer will use my MG first, I use the MG

sour tulip
#

It's a 1/1 situation

lofty wharf
#

exactly

hybrid wolf
#

even in a 1-1, he can still use it next loadout

silk trench
sour tulip
#

So you will get your turn again next round and even if you shoot him, he won't steal the glass for the final shot in the gun

lofty wharf
#

mag is significantly better

sour tulip
#

They're about equal but for different situations

lofty wharf
#

yes

soft nova
# sour tulip You can

I was thinking earlier that since shooting yourself and shooting the dealer effectively have the same expected value (in a 1/1); if the dealer has items you should shoot yourself to keep him from using them.

#

That wasn't meant to be a reply my b

silk trench
#

if you have handcuffs then burner is pretty good

#

if you know the last shell is a blank, then you have a higher chance of hitting lives until the last one

lofty wharf
#

phone is useful if you can get down only a few shells left. But it's the situations where there's a ton of shells left where you have the highest risk of losing, so phone being bad in those situations is very un-epic.

sour tulip
#

Finally, someone who gets it

silk trench
#

it also is the only item that has hidden information, meaning that it prevents "perfect" play

#

not that it matters against the dealer, but in multiplayer it can

lofty wharf
hybrid wolf
#

burner gets more and more useful the less shells are left
it gives you a guarantee in the spot it tells you, and reduces the probabilities in the others

silk trench
#

if there's 3 live 4 blank, knowing the last shell is a blank makes the next shot a 50/50 rather than a ~42.9/57.1

sour tulip
#

It improves your odds by telling you a future shot, rulling it out for other shells

lofty wharf
#

but im just gonna shoot dealer anyway so it doesnt matter

sour tulip
#

In addition to being a magnifying glass should you be holding the gun during that shot

sour tulip
hybrid wolf
#

phone is just a bad monty hall dilema lmao

silk trench
#

it's not monty hall

hybrid wolf
#

it somewhat is

silk trench
#

why do people keep trying to bring up monty hall for buckshot roulette

sour tulip
#

It's not Monty Hall at all lol

#

That's an entirely different dilemma

hybrid wolf
#

in 1-2, if it gives you a blank, it absolutely is monty hall

sour tulip
#

No it isn't

silk trench
#

no, because it can give you a live

sour tulip
#

Because burner makes it a 50/50

hybrid wolf
#

no it does not

sour tulip
#

Bruh

hybrid wolf
#

let me explain :
before using the phone, it's not monty hall because it could give the position of he live

silk trench
#

if it could only give you blanks, then in a way it could be monty hall

sour tulip
#

The idea of Monty Hall is that you choose an option, and you are revealed one of the wrong choices guaranteed, and as a direct result you are sort of guided to which is more likely to be the right choice

hybrid wolf
#

but once you use it and you know it gave you the blank
then it's straight up monty hall

sour tulip
#

Burner phone doesn't do that

#

If you get revealed a blank it truly does become 50/50

lofty wharf
hybrid wolf
#

ok, let's wite down all the possibilities

sour tulip
#

It's complicated

#

But essentially it can sometimes be more worthwhile to shoot yourself and even take damage than let the Dealer have the gun

silk trench
#

All the options are:
100 2b
010 2l
001 2b
100 3b
010 3b
001 3l

Just taking the ones where the dealer gives you a blank:
100 2b
001 2b
100 3b
010 3b

still a 50% chance of hitting it, not 1/3rd

sour tulip
#

Yes, which is what I said

#

You went from 66% chance to miss to 50%

silk trench
#

^

sour tulip
#

Monty Hall goes from 66% chance to miss to only 33%

#

It's different

#

Mind

#

If you add in the chance that you are shown the live round I believe it does tally up to be equivalent odds

lofty wharf
#

yes

sour tulip
#

But for different reasons

#

Probability is fun kids

silk trench
#

now if it could only give blanks then:
100 2b 1/6th
100 3b 1/6th
010 3b 1/3rd
001 2b 1/3rd

So if you shoot yourself, you have a 1/3rd chance of knowing where the live is

lofty wharf
sour tulip
#

The item especially in question is the inverter

silk trench
#

if it's 1/1 and the dealer has a handsaw, you want to shoot yourself

sour tulip
#

It doesn't matter if the gun is empty if the Dealer has that

lofty wharf
#

im talking about when theres like 7 or 8 shells. and specifically why youd want to shoot yourself and why burner phone revealing the last shell as blank would matter in that decision

silk trench
#

because it's better to have a 50% chance to take 1 damage than 2

hybrid wolf
#

hn

sour tulip
silk trench
#

if it's regular dealer then shooting generally is better on higher rounds

hybrid wolf
#

I guess the reason it's not monty hall is because the phone doesn't actually know shit lmao

lofty wharf
#

hmm... if its a 7 shell round and phone reveals 3rd shell live, should you shoot yourself twice? if dealer has no items it would guarantee that dealer gets shot with 3rd shell, right?

silk trench
#

it's more useful if you have handcuffs

#

or beer

#

basically anything that can offset the every other by one

hybrid wolf
#

esperance trees get wild with this game

hybrid wolf
#

what's the exact game state ?

#

(the bot assumes the dealer is a perfect player btw)

#

(I need to implement its actual AI)

lofty wharf
#

ok lets say its 3 health round, 7 shells. you have phone + pills, dealer has adrenaline + pills

if phone reveals 3rd is live, shooting yourself twice would literally guarantee survival to the next round, which wouldnt be guaranteed by just blindly shooting dealer

#

im a genius, man. im gonna go get 10 billion now

hybrid wolf
#

so it's assumed you used the phone

#

ok

#

7 shells means 3-4

lofty wharf
#

yeah i dont like holding onto phone when im not guaranteed to make it far into the round. But I guess i would hold onto the phone if its a 3 charge round and dealer doesnt have good items, so that might be a bad example

hybrid wolf
#

does that look correct ?

lofty wharf
#

wait nvm dealer has adrenaline so i probably would use phone

hybrid wolf
#

I mean you assume you already used your phone

#

right ?

lofty wharf
#

yeah

hybrid wolf
#

so in this case

#

against a perfect player

#

you're fucked

#

-30 is your esperance

lofty wharf
#

dealer isnt perfect player

hybrid wolf
#

I know

#

I didn't implement the AI yet

#

I also need to fix the way the phone works

cedar sky
lofty wharf
#

hmm even if its a 2 health round i think it would be optimal to shoot self twice there

silk trench
#

it's horrible

#

the phone makes it a hidden information game

hybrid wolf
silk trench
#

yea, I'm just saying you can't make it be a perfect player

hybrid wolf
#

because I assumed the phone would skip over known info

silk trench
#

I've been on the brunt end of that x_x

hybrid wolf
#

what I mean by "perfect player" is someone that always chooses the path of best esperance

silk trench
#

yea, with hidden info that's not possible

hybrid wolf
#

you can calculate the odds

lofty wharf
#

yeah hidden info doesnt mean you cant play perfectly

hybrid wolf
#

whenever a phone is used, I calculate the esperance of a max of 14 different outcomes lmao

silk trench
#

Right, but say the phone was used the previous round

#

what do you pass into the ai then?

lofty wharf
#

you mean previous turn?

hybrid wolf
#

well in that case I kinda ignore that because there's no way to implement it

silk trench
#

My point exactly

rough heath
#

what's going on?

hybrid wolf
#

that just feels like an "akchually" argument but sure

silk trench
#

I was just saying the phone is horrible to implement when making a "perfect" player

#

bc it's it makes it a hidden information game

#

the hope is that the path taken in the step where it's assumed the dealer could use the phone stired me in a direction where even with no knowledge of his information, I have better odds

#

I never said my bot was a perfect player

silk trench
#

What I do is store it for the current shell only

hybrid wolf
#

I said it assumes the dealer is

manic wyvern
#

He inserts the shells in a ‘random’ order

hybrid wolf
#

not that different from what Mike does

silk trench
#

I do that too, but I don't, like, pass it down when searching if that makes sense

hybrid wolf
#

the biggest issue with implementing the actual dealer AI is that I need to refactor the way I do items because of box order

silk trench
#

oh?

hybrid wolf
#

currently I just input the number of different item types

silk trench
#

oh, you mean when doing the original one, yea

#

got confused for a few seconds there lol

hybrid wolf
#

no, even the DoN one

silk trench
#

yea, I mean the one in the game

hybrid wolf
#

right yeah

silk trench
#

naming it sure is difficult

hybrid wolf
#

for an accurate dealer AI, I need to meticulously name my items in the order I received them
and add a way to list the dealer's items in ordered batches of unordered items

silk trench
#

My biggest problem is figuring out how Mike is handling the freaking adrenaline, since I'm modding it directly into the game >:c

hybrid wolf
#

and assume perfect play within those batches

silk trench
#

I mean, like, the physical action of taking an item from the player, not how it decides what to take

hybrid wolf
#

adrenaline is used after all the dealer items have failed to be used
and it then assumes your items are his

#

a

lofty wharf
#

that would make him always steal cigs over pills. which maybe he does

sour tulip
#

He does

#

Can 100% confirm

#

You need to take all your cigs off the table before he'll ever consider taking the pills instead

silk trench
#

are the pills good in any scenario?

lofty wharf
#

yes

sour tulip
#

Yes

#

They have two distinct use cases

silk trench
#

o?

sour tulip
#

1.)

#

It's easy to waste the Dealer's adrenaline on them

#

2.)

#

If your odds are worse than 50/50 at winning, and 2 healing can get out out of it, pills are better odds

#

#2 is not common at all with that said

lofty wharf
#

theres more use cases

#

if youre at 2 health and dealer has saw for example

sour tulip
#

So #2

lofty wharf
#

not really. you can have over 50% odds of winning while pills is still good to use

#

because therse no risk

sour tulip
#

I wouldn't use the pills then

lofty wharf
#

what about the situation i just told you about

sour tulip
#

I wouldn't use them

#

There's no risk but also no benefit

#

Keeping them has the benefit of #1 applying

lofty wharf
#

huh? you wouldnt use pills at 2 hp when daeler has saw?

sour tulip
#

In a situation where #2 is not applying, yeah

#

I can see what you are saying and I get the logic, but I'd rather keep them

slate estuary
#

depends on your max health

silk trench
#

I would rather have cigarettes than bad medicine i think

sour tulip
#

Well yeah

#

It's objectively a better item

winter geode
#

i take pills if i have a cig left to regain that potentially lost charge, or if i know the dealer has a saw and is gonna get a shot next round, cause either way i'd be fucked

slate estuary
#

no downside what so ever

#

the only POTENTIAL downside is dealer stealing the cigs, but in that case just waste em

winter geode
slate estuary
#

metal gear solid

lofty wharf
silk trench
#

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ADRENALINE IS CODED

#

or like

#

how did I make the dealer steal adrenaline from the player >:c

sour tulip
#

I'll list that as #3

#

Or moreso I could combine that with #2, the idea being that the possibility of healing yourself is more important than taking a single damage

slate estuary
#

unlikely dont matter, if the situation comes up it comes up

#

in general tho i dont use medicine, its garbo

silk trench
#

Was the cigarette limit removed?

bronze olive
#

There was a cig limit !?

lofty wharf
#

cig limit used to be 2
its still 2 i believe

bronze olive
#

Hmm. Gotcha

slate estuary
#

that u can hold or use?

silk trench
sour tulip
#

Well then

#

Time to use the pills, hope they get you out of that situation

silk trench
#

they did

sour tulip
hybrid wolf
silk trench
#

yea

junior ridge
#

My memory's so bad it can't even keep up with crucial information

bronze olive
#

YO?????

#

That's kinda awesome

silk trench
#

my AI has been stuck for the past 10-20 minutes

lofty wharf
silk trench
#

yea

#

it updates after they're shot or ejected

lofty wharf
#

oh damn is there a download link
also is there burner phone support

silk trench
#

no burner phone support no

#

it's from the previous update, didn't bother updatingi t

#

link probably later today

lofty wharf
#

cool. im probably gonna stick to trackers with phone support tho, even if theyre manual

silk trench
#

my pc is working so hard on trying to figure out what the dealer should do 😔

#

Hey! feel free to pop in herekittyok

#

np!

sour tulip
#

I just say the shots out loud

#

And if need be I write them down myself

hybrid wolf
hybrid wolf
#

And then you need to do maths to know your probabilities

#

And inverters aren’t helping

#

Like it’s doable, but I do like quality of life stuff

sour tulip
#

I don't know, I like being genuine when playing the game

#

If you like the assistance, go for it

still haven
#

Does anyone know what the hidden achievments are?

hybrid wolf
#

I don’t see it as assistance and more like, I don’t need to prove I can do it, I can, I’ve done it multiple times
It’s not the core of the game when you go beyond a certain point

hybrid wolf
#

And you’ll get a few

#

Become a hoarder and you’ll get some others

#

Get curious about the lore, and I think that’s the last one

#

If you want straight up answers I can give them, but I think half the fun is figuring it out

hybrid wolf
#

The final hint is : just vibe

sudden citrus
#

Uses phone. Hi Dominoes? Can I get a medium sized cheese pizza with a side of breadsticks and delicious chocolate lava cakes for dessert?"

#

When I use the burner phone, it feels like I'm ordering a pizza. 🤣

keen vortex
#

LOL im so suggestable now I want pizza

hybrid wolf
#

Item : pizza
Share a slice with the dealer
You both restore 1 charge

#

The animation is you grabbing a slice and the dealer just eating the rest of it including the box

sour tulip
#

If so

#

||Use a handsaw and shoot yourself, resulting in your death||

||Try to name yourself God||

||Uncover a live round with the magnifying glass and shoot yourself with it||

||Use every one of the 9 items in a single turn||

||Use the computer to check the leaderboard.||

||Kick the 1st door down and proceed to stand there, listening to the nightclub's music for an entire minute||

sour tulip
#

Like, ignoring you adding a fairly innocent item to a game about addiction taking place in a nightclub, that's just a straight downgrade to the cigarettes

bronze olive
#

OOOHHH YOU WANNA MAKE A DEALER DATING SIM REAL

night marsh
#

Seconding this

hybrid wolf
#

But yes, it’s not meant to be optimal

#

It’s just a fun idea

#

But about addiction

#

Fast food addiction is definitely a thing

#

I guess a more interesting use for it would be that you need to finish the pizza to get back to max health

#

4 slices

#

Or maybe just 3

#

Yeah

#

Hn

#

Ok I got it

#

Pizza slice :
After eating 6, get back to max health
Stacks between rounds

hybrid wolf
#

That makes it interesting as an item to engulf in low health rounds in order to use it as an emergency in high health rounds
While maybe cluttering your inventory and making the dealer a bit more resistant

#

You have to choose between destroying your stack even though you’re not about to die
Or letting the dealer get back to max health

sour tulip
#

But they are at the very least not a direct downgrade

#

This?

brisk elm
#

is the arg kitten role for people who made the arg or those trying to solve it?

sour tulip
#

In every possible situation it's worse than normal cigs or equal

sour tulip
#

This sounds a lot better

#

But it's also really annoying to keep track of

#

Especially for the Dealer

#

The last thing you need is for the Dealer to eat a pizza slice and whoops that's 3 health regained right there buster

#

And stopping it isn't always an option, you don't always roll adrenaline

brisk elm
#

how do i get it?

sudden citrus
#

Why is everyone in love with the dealer? xD

#

I mean, sure he's cute when he smiles, but still.

#

The funniest achievement is the identifying a live round with a magnifying glass and then shooting yourself. LOL

#

It's like the game is telling you, "Bruh, why?"

sour tulip
#

@hybrid wolf I tested this some more

#

I'm more inclined to believe it's true

#

1 live, 3 blank, Dealer uses phone

#

He then proceeds to shoot himself all three times without ever picking up the magnifying glass

#

I have no clue where in the code it exists but there has to be something here

lofty wharf
sour tulip
#

Neat

#

I knew it was true

#

Just needed the proof for it

hybrid wolf
# sour tulip <@206142633951756288> I tested this some more

yes, I checked the code
every time he tries to use an item the dealer check to see if with the ejected shells and the ones he knows the position of, there's no more blanks or lives he doesn't know the position of
if he knows all the blanks or all the lives, then he assumes he knows everything
which means in a 1-x if he uses the phone and finds the blank, that piece of code will tell him "yeah you know the entire sequence"

sour tulip

The AI in DoN knows too much

#

I swear

hybrid wolf
bleak comet
#

More like it's actually cheating and knows the shell order by itself.

warm turret
#

i'm pretty sure the ai is not programmed to use an inverter unless it absolutely knows the shell is blank, and it figures out the shell through legit means (checking if 0 lives or blanks, magnifying glass, or using burner phone knowledge)

#

just looking through the code

bleak comet
#

Oh OK\

#

He just shot me successfully without any knowledge of the bullet tho, and it wasn't the last one

#

No way the AI isn't cheating

warm turret
#

i honestly don't know how the ai could cheat, unless there's some wacky code i'm missing. you don't have any mods installed?

bleak comet
#

No

warm turret
#

actually my decompiled buckshot code was before the latest hotfix. in theory it could have changed

hybrid wolf
bleak comet
#

I mean maybe there were only blanks in there

#

OK, explain this: he used a beer without knowing the shell was a blank, and he successfully guessed. THEN he used the magnifying glass, hit a live. I used a burner phone and did figure out the third shell was blank.

hybrid wolf
#

if there are more live than blanks he automatically targets you

#

the inverse is true

#

if there's the same number, he flips a coin

bleak comet
#

OK

bleak comet
#

How does the point system work?

hybrid wolf
#

start at 70k

#

I've been involved with enough disappointing ARGs this year

junior ridge
hybrid wolf
#

kinda

#

I'm talking about the only point of lore that is confirmed to be linked between 2 Klubnika games

junior ridge
#

I think it had a different name than Volta

hybrid wolf
#

Carbon Steel and Control Room Alpha both feature the same idea and the same company logo

#

I'd need to check the exact names, but yes it's most likely not the same

junior ridge
#

The ARG is also currently receiving hints

#

Although I think the community is a bit lost

#

Cuz we're trying to understand a poem we've been stuck with for a while

#

For...some reason

hybrid wolf
#

I don't think the company is named in CS
but in CRA they're called E.K.R.E.

#

at least it's the name of whoever hired the crane operator

#

for all we know the 5 tentacule company might just make cranes and elevators

junior ridge
#

I don't think it's the same company

hybrid wolf
#

I don't think EKRE is VOLTA
but there might be an alliance or competition is what I'm saying

junior ridge
#

Yeah but I don't think they had the same goals

#

Volta literally sucked God's powers and either left heaven for dead or attacked it themselves

hybrid wolf
#

the chronology of EKRE is most likely CRA, then CS
the incident in CRA make them instal more robust materials and protocoles
eventually they shut down
and many years later in CS they open again and try to do human experiment

#

but whatever they found in CRA looks pretty god-like in its implied powers

#

we literally don't see anything other than a floating orb

junior ridge
#

I haven't actually played the game lol

#

Although in BR Volta is the electronics supplier in the game

#

The monitor and phones are confirmed to be Volta's

hybrid wolf
#

wait actually I can narrow it down a little

#

CRA takes place in 2047

junior ridge
#

Yep nope

#

BR takes place in 1998

hybrid wolf
#

well they do get involved with time travel so

junior ridge
#

The gap is pretty significant

hybrid wolf
#

not impossible

junior ridge
#

Yeah but I think it's better if we consider them completely detached from one another

hybrid wolf
#

hnnn

junior ridge
#

Yeah, that's what the Dealer did

#

Killed God

#

And heaven is confirmed to be godless, so...

hybrid wolf
junior ridge
#

That's a bit of an overstretch, but it's not the last time an August date has been found

hybrid wolf
#

yeah that's why

junior ridge
hybrid wolf
#

and I don't think it's that much of a stretch

#

why add random numbers, including some that don't even translate

#

like 0 doesn't correspond to anything

#

why not stick to 4593945

junior ridge
#

Oh ok I get it now

#

Yeah, that's very interesting

hybrid wolf
#

about Cupio dissolvi :
I think this is much more interesting in a game about addictions

junior ridge
#

Checks out

#

It's either a desire to destroy something external or, indeed, self destruction

hybrid wolf

did someone try to call the number ?
after a quick search it looks like it's just... some random woman in Pensilvania

if anything the player cheats being able to play first every round as well as being able to use up all the shells on some hands before the dealer gets a single turn, sometimes killing him before getting a single turn too. the odds are generally stacked in your favor

btw I saw you guys were planning a timeline

#

if we're involving Carbon Steel because of the date

#

we can't let EKRE slide

#

august 1st 1998: deicide (?)
august 4-8 1998: Carbon Steel, EKRE reopens the pit, a project abandoned for years, to do experiments on creatures and eventually on humans.
august 5th 1998: some event worth remembering
august 7th 1998: CS good ending, sabotage of the project, with an explosion (possible cause of VOLTA's Shutdown ? need more info on the connection between VOLTA and EKRE)
august 21st 1998: Buckshot roulette
january 9th 2041: Control Room Alpha, EKRE opens another pit operation, ends in discovery of an unknown floating orb

we also know VOLTA is involved with time travel because of the burner phone

#

CS and CRA are the only 2 Klubnika projects with a confirmed connection, we can't just add one and ignore the other lol
