Hello there, the Prince of Time here for the fourth time (You Know, let's just call me DurationPrince for the rest of time, why not it's a cool name)
So this is actually a much bigger Timeskip then the last three asks, still same session though. I managed to improve myself, do a lot of quests, and even managed to get new abilities.
However, there was something very important I forgot to mention during all those thing about our session:
There's a WASTE of RAGE within it. And he's annoying as you think he would be, Basically forcing authority on most of the players in this session and causes lot of destruction & disaster between us. He's basically a SBURBian school bully, bringing disaster to the school through his overwhelming rage and wasting our time.
However recently we actually set down (not literally together, through SBRUB chat system) and discussed a plan to defeat the black king. I offered a quick and delicate plan to defeat him, but of course since the waste of rage wasn't in the lead of it, he was annoyed. All of us agreed that this plan was sufficient and that the waste should calm down and let others take the lead.
Unsuprisely, that caused him to go on a Berserk Trigger of [Infinite Rage], And basically destroyed his own planet. And I was his first target afterwards, and I was aware of that.
So when we finally went to a showdown between him and I, I knew even TRYING to hug him would get me killed over all the energy he puts. So I went for the next best thing.
I used my late-game ability [In The End] which is basically an extension of my ability to make Duration of something hit ZERO immediately. in this case, the duration of [Infinite Rage].But midway through the thing, I felt some kind of power surging through me. And then from my side it seemed to have worked, as the ability finished and the Waste was defeated. We managed to work things afterward and agrred to use my plan.
But I guess Infinity Rage & Zero Duration didn't work well together. As now I can basically my whispering saying:
"You are the Chosen one of Infinity"
"You were never meant to win this battle"
"Hope the other you rest in piece knowing you won"
Which I guess means somehow I'm in the timeline where [In The End] worked but there are uncountably other timelines where it didn't. and I guess the whispering gave me this favor to actually have a timeline where I defeat [Infinite Rage].
But I'm not sure, and I'm scared that event caused a Immense amount of timelines where I'm dead. and possibly everyone else too because if I wasn't able to hug him and being the only player with the ability to counter the [Infinity Rage], then I guess they are dead too, or at least hiding from him. So probably all those timelines are doomed.
So I got a huge amount of doomed timelines in my consius after almost an entire session of no time clones shanagings, with probably lots and lots of ramgaing Wastes of Rage, which could probably ruin our plan somehow if their effect reaches this timeline. And our plan to defeat the king is coming near.
so what should I do? leave the timelines to be, destroy them or what? Moreover, this feeling of loss of the other me is new to me, so maybe helping with that would be great too.
Well first of all, be glad that you didn't get [Dark Carnival]'d, or hit with [I Want You To Die]. I'm not sure you would have survived those, unless you could prematurely end your helplessness, or self-terminate your impulse to self-terminate, if you catch my drift.
And I'm actually unsure of if there is indeed tons of Doomed Timelines now. "That attack was so absurdly lethal that there is only one out of one morbillion where I survived" is cool and all, but I'm not sure if Doomed Timelines, strictly speaking, work like that. Unless the implication is that he hit you so hard that he killed every other Timeline? That could be a fitting Rage Cataclysm, he accidentally Broke Time and now everything crunched together into one singularity point, as Rage's domain is "my way or the highway" personified". In any case, I don't think the other Wastes of Rage will be able to travel to your timeline. If the other yous did indeed die in that conflict, and he already demonstrated the strength to destroy his own planet, it's safe to say they and any equipment they carried is prolly paste now. If you are worried though, then yeah, delete the timelines if you can't salvage them. Time Player knows best.
I think the more important thing to bring up now is that strange effect you felt backlash onto you when you blocked the [Infinite Rage]. There's a hidden value only checked when [Infinite Rage] is active, which futzes with player identification. Because "you're not you when you're angry" and should eat a snickers or whatever. Point is, it goes up when you [Infinite Rage], and once it's above zero you get identified as another player. I'm pretty sure it goes back to normal after it's done, and it only affects the Rage player, but if you no-selled and instantly stopped a Berserk Trigger-level, potentially Cataclysm-level [Infinite Rage], then this could have led to it affecting you. Would certainly explain this talk of "another you". I'd ask if you're experiencing any feelings of depersonalization, imposter syndrome, not being yourself, etc., and additionally try to access any features that rely on player ID to work (if your place in the Server/Client chain is still where it is, for example).
It's difficult to say what you should do next, but I would personally want to take the Waste of Rage to task. Rage Players can be pretty overbearing, but I trust this guy knows that this behavior verged into PK behavior, and outright crossed into it in other timelines, accordion to you. That's serious stuff right there. Obviously when I say "take him to task" I don't mean kill him, but I think you've gotta hold an invervention for this, man. You apparently worked things out already, and I know that two dudes scrumming always ends in them becoming besties, but I mean jeez.
