#double aspect bug

[sburbian-sage]

Okay, I appear to have fucked up the game's internal logic and it assigned me as a Heart of Mind. Please fill me in on what the fuck is going on. Im confused.

HOW THIS HAPPENED: You had no control of this whatsoever. SBURB decided to pull a fast one on you and you must now face the consequences. This is a running theme. If by some strange process, you managed to somehow invoke this, don’t do it again, and consider informing others of what you did so they know what not to do. Or maybe don’t because game-breakers might try to get two aspects and erase half of themselves vertically.

WHAT THIS IS AND WHAT YOU DO NOW: Heart focuses on the inner nature of things, and emotions in all of their forms. Mind focuses on choices and making logical decisions to reach some end. Your job is to combine both of those in any/every way, shape, AND form, because you now have two RP values to appease instead of the singular one that normal people get. You have access to a wider range of aspect powers, but now you’re twice as likely to cut yourself dancing on the knife’s edge, because there’s two knives now.

Law of Sand?? I have no idea what to do in this situation, do I break my own rules and convince the game I didn’t or?? Any assistance would be appreciated, but I’d like an analysis if possible and you would like to do it. Thanks.

You actually rolled well because you can basically declare a Law without declaring it. Regular Law players have to shout stuff like [You Cannot Wear Purple] or [Monty Python Jokes Aren’t Funny] and then they are enforced, bu you can just think them and they’e true. But do be careful, as this means a stray thought can become a declaration, and you can step into your own traps. You can break the traps though, but then they don’t work for anyone.

My advice? Just go Confusion Fu and be unbeatable by the sheer attribute that everyone else is baffled.

Hope of Rage? Help?

You reject everything while asserting your worth as a person. This means that you’ll likely do a lot of anime shouting and deflecting anything that comes near. So you’ll be a walking area of non-interference, where the only rule that exists is those you allow yourself to abide by.

But something to note is that Hope makes their players Oh So Pretty and Rage makes people made angryugly when they scream, so I imagine the double forces of being pretty and angry will make you look like this.

hey dude, I've honestly never seen or heard of the bugged title thing before, and I absolutely love the idea! Could I ask for your thoughts on a Space of Light, or Light of Space? I'm honestly not sure if swapping the words around would change much

Word choice does matter, because the way that this shitty coding is, the first aspect will be more likely to work on the second.

For example, a Light of Space will be able to illuminate the concepts of creation and science, making impossible sciences comprehensible, and show others the joy of creation.

A Space of Light, however, would create the concept of illumination, so if everyone is uninspired and not getting it, you can birth an intellectual rebirth.

Hope I helped.

Bugged Title: The Mind of Rage

Of Choices and Logic, as well as External Overriding and Passion

“You /\/\ade a lot of /\/\istakes that I could e><ploit. But the biggest one was you /\/\aking /\/\e /\/\ad.”

- Jofner Kuthno, Trollian Heir of Time, upon defeating the PK in his session, a Thief of Blood

I spaced out and made this, just deal with it, this has been in the drafts for a month.

Double Aspect Bugs are a bug where two aspects are assigned, and the normally esoteric analysis of what a Class of Aspect does becomes even more esoteric because you have two concepts to manipulate and no set way to manipulate them, which means it’s time to embody two wild concepts like the avatar and hope you don’t burn out and die.

Mind is about decisions and logic. Mind players analyze things, assess every point, and then act like an axe to execute it. And Rage too is like an axe, inwhat is symbolizes. It sees things the way it wants to see things and distorts them to their own ends. So trying to reconcile those two concepts would result in analyzing a situation, scoping out every action to take, then flying into a tranquil, focused rage and not letting anything get in the way of your schematics. Like, if there’s a gap that needs to be closed so you can get to the other side, you might look around and point out that maybe you could knock a tree over to make a bridge. Then enter a trance and TEAR THE TREE FROM THE GROUND AND TOSS IT TO THE HOLE!!! Alternatively, Indy Ploys are your friend, walk in with no plan, an objective, and make it up along the way, hammering out the finer details.

How To Play a Mind of Rage

Precision, and Execution

Look at things like a puzzle, and know that you can bend the pieces

Basically be MacGyver/Troll MacGyver

How to Die a Mind of Rage

Be attentive, you can’t just bash around, there’s a method to your madness

Be assertive, if there’s a kink in the plan, unkink it forcefully

you will also die if you spend too long laughing at that last sentence

Mind of Rage Abilities

[Use Your Head]: Use Rage and Mind on yourself to force yourself to think about something. If you’re looking at an abstract poster and can’t find the picture of a dog in there, [Use Your Head] and slam your brain against the wall of your skull to spot it. Be careful though, as you may actually slam your brain against the wall of your skull. But if when you wake up, you will know.

[Right To Raise]: Use your planning as a weapon. By increasing the risk or absurdity of your plan, astound anyone who looks on to the point where they’re baffled and get crushed by the weight. Using [Right To Raise] by detailing how you plan to drop a chandelier by tossing a lighter at it doesn’t work, at best, it would give a slight nudge. Detail how you plan to defeat the enemy by tossing a table at someone, quickly snatching their box of matches, toss one unlit match at the chandelier, and a lit one at the drapes, whip the firey drapes at someone, and then let the rising heat light the match to burn the rope holding the chandelier up, and people will be driven to irrationality. So much so that they can’t think about how that doesn’t work. But you’re a god, so it will make itself make sense.

[Angry Carpenter]: The polish to a plan, for when everything is going right except for that one hitch. Glare at it to make things okay again. Scope out a joint and get every detail planned, but the door you needed to get in is locked when it’s usually not? Glare at it and unlock the door. On a boat and you need to find an island, but no crow’s nest? Those piles of wood know better than to not be a crow’s nest. The extent to which you can rewrite reality to make a plan work is actually kind of funny!

What would a Breath of Heart and/or a Heart of Breath be like? (I love the bugged classpects idea it’s so cool.)

Either way you slice it, they either

1) Destroy and give freedom to people’s souls or

2) Explore the inner soul of embodied destruction and freedom

And these accordingly sounds like mass ego death and a fancy way to say “nuke”, so I imagine you would want to be a bit leery and make sure that they channel that power very well.

For example, they could free people from their issues by destroying their problems, or freeing them from their own self-given issues. Or they could philosophize about the quandary of what makes one truly free.

Like any good Breath/Heart player, they could be just what the session needs, or a disaster in waiting.
