More things by 'someone' already, hah.
A couple of additions by me also:
Book 22, 124:
If the number you have picked is 0—4, turn to 341.
If it is 5—9, turn to 223.
If the number you have picked is 0–4, turn to 341.
If it is 5–9, turn to 223.
World of Lone Wolf Book 4, 30:
Turn 270.
Turn to 270.
someone's proposed changes continued:
55) At 3-158 : To be added : "You should take note of the wound sustained
by your enemy.".
uq: No. A little bit superfluous and reveals too much information to the
player.
56) At 3-68 : To be added : "If you already wounded this enemy then you
should reduce its ENDURANCE accordingly.".
uq: No, if 3-158 is not footnoted.
57) At 4-333 : To be added : "You should take note of the wound sustained
by your enemy.".
uq: No, a little bit superfluous and reveals too much information to the
player.
58) At 3-241 : To be added : "If you already wounded this enemy then you
should reduce its ENDURANCE accordingly.".
uq: No, if 3-158 is not footnoted.
59) At 4-90 : To be added : "If you already wounded this enemy then you
should reduce its ENDURANCE accordingly.".
uq: No, if 4-333 is not footnoted.
60) At 5-2 : Unclear if the Gold Key should be registered on the Action
Chart since you never use it anymore.
To be added : "Remember to mark the Gold Key on your Action Chart as a
Backpack Item."
Or : "You do not need to record the Gold Key on your Action Chart" (in this
case "Gold Key" to be replaced by "gold key").
uq: No, not exactly unprecedented that you can keep a useless item.
61) At 5-3 : According to 5-98, a Sleep Dart is carried in a Belt Pouch,
and 5-313 mentions a "Blowpipe and Sleep Dart".
Thus it is unclear if the Blowpipe and the Sleep Dart take two separate
places in the Backpack.
To be added : "The Blowpipe and the Sleep Dart each takes one place in your
Backpack."
Or : "Record the Blowpipe and the Sleep Dart as a single Backpack Item."
uq: No. In 5-3 and 5-101 it is clear that they should be recorded
separately, and as Backpack Items.
62) At 5-101 : According to 5-98, a Sleep Dart is carried in a Belt Pouch,
and 5-313 mentions a "Blowpipe and Sleep Dart".
Thus it is unclear if the Blowpipe and the Sleep Dart take two separate
places in the Backpack.
To be added : "The Blowpipe and the Sleep Dart each takes one place in your
Backpack."
Or : "Record the Blowpipe and the Sleep Dart as a single Backpack Item."
uq: No. In 5-3 and 5-101 it is clear that they should be recorded
separately, and as Backpack Items.
63) At 5-384 : To be added : "Remember to erase the Sleep Dart from your
Action Chart.".
uq: Yes.
64) At 5-398 : To be added : "Remember to erase the Sleep Dart from your
Action Chart.".
uq: Yes.
65) At 5-4 : You take the Sword, then "sword" should be replaced by "Sword".
uq: Maybe not, so that we don't have to footnote 5-102.
66) At 5-102 : To be added : "If you already took the Sword of a Gaoler
then you should consider that there is no other one.".
uq: No, if 5-4 is not footnoted.
67) At 5-63 : To be added : "You should already deduce 2 ENDURANCE points
at the end of this section.".
uq: No.
68) At 5-205 : To be added : "Remember to erase the Rope from your Action
Chart.".
uq: Yes, but should be in 5-305.
69) At 5-211 : According to the text, a dose of Kourshah restores 2
ENDURANCE points.
To be added : "You should consider that the Bottle of Kourshah contains 2
doses which restore 2 ENDURANCE points each.".
uq: No, that is how it works in Seventh Sense and maybe other apps but
nothing in the text really indicates that.
70) At 5-270 : You might have only one Backpack Item.
Thus "If you have no Backpack Items" to be replaced by "If you have less
than two Backpack Items".
uq: No, normally you lose only Backpack Items anyway (no special case for
what happens if you don't have enough).
71) At 5-329 : Written : "you can attempt".
Thus "If you do not possess a Rope" to be replaced by : "If you do not
possess a Rope or if you do not wish to use it".
uq: Maybe.
72) At 5-331 : You might no longer have your Map at this point.
To be added "If you no longer have a Map then you should consider that
Banedon has one among his charts.".
uq: No. I'm pretty sure after Fire on the Water you are never told to
record the map anywhere. It is functionally not an item.
73) At 5-334 : "avoid" to be replaced by "evade".
uq: Yes. I checked every book and "avoid" was never used in this context. I
also checked the Mongoose edition and they had already changed it there.
"If you win" was also changed to "If you stand your ground and win the
fight".
74) At 5-161 : You can arrive here from 5-135 and have fought enemies which
were really trying to kill you.
To be added : "This ENDURANCE restoration only concerns the points lost
during your last fight."
uq: I guess that is implied already, but maybe.
Digression about rounding half-integer ENDURANCE points)
If you have instructions from Joe Dever in the text, follow them.
If not, follow mathematics, and there are two cases :
- If you can still lose half-integer ENDURANCE points until the next full
restoration point, then you should not round anything.
- If you won't lose half-integer ENDURANCE points anymore until the next
full restoration point, then round your ENDURANCE up for improving gameplay.
Reason for the second case : Rounding it up does not increase your survival
probability then it's not cheating, while rounding it down decreases your
survival probability then it's self mutilation.
Example for the second case : You have 16.5 ENDURANCE points and you can
only lose integer points in the future.
Then you can lose 16 EP and you'll still be alive.
However if you lose 17 EP then you'll be dead.
Thus having 16.5 EP is exactly the same as having 17 EP, and is different
from having 16 EP.
I already made the "round up" suggestion for 2-240 (point 33) and i'll make
it again after the fight at 10-217.
Concerning Book 5, there are two such cases (5-20 first and 5-135 second).
uq: Again, ENDURANCE points are natural numbers and you have to understand
to round up or down to begin with, and I don't necessarily agree that
rounding up should be the default. Still, we should apply some of the
Mongoose changes here instead of the footnotes.
Consequences :
75) At 5-20 : Written : "Restore half of any ENDURANCE points that you lose
(fractions rounded down) during this combat if you win or evade (note what
happens if you lose)."
You should not round anything here and the direction toward 5-82 is not
treated.
Thus to be written : "Restore half of any ENDURANCE points that you lose
during this combat if you win or evade or if the fight stops after 3 rounds
(note what happens if you lose)."
uq: True, that the choice towards 5-82 is not treated currently, but it is
funny that in the Mongoose edition they changed: "If the fight lasts longer
than three rounds, do not continue the combat but turn immediately to 82."
to "If the fight lasts longer than three rounds, turn to 82.", almost as if
implying that you should still win? However, instead of the footnote they
added: "If you win this fight, you may restore half of any ENDURANCE points
you lost during the combat. Any fractions must be rounded down." meaning
that now 5-142 and 5-176 is not treated. Complete clusterfuck. Maybe we
should embrace the 'Schrödinger's battle' that they may or may not have
deliberately introduced in the Mongoose edition, and just remove the
footnote while adding the Mongoose text.
76) At 5-135 : Written : "restore half of any ENDURANCE points you lost
(rounding fractions down)"
Wrong rounding.
Thus to be written : "restore half of any ENDURANCE points you lost
(rounding fractions up)"
uq: No, but here is the Mongoose text if we want it:
"If you win this combat, you may restore half of any ENDURANCE points you
lose (fractions rounded down) and then turn to 130."
"If you lose the combat, turn at once to 161."
77) At 5-13 : retarded rounding for 5-20.
To be added : "If your ENDURANCE is half-integer now then round it up.".
78) At 5-69 : retarded rounding for 5-20 and 5-161.
To be added : "If your ENDURANCE is half-integer now then round it up.".
79) At 5-145 : retarded rounding for 5-20.
To be added : "If your ENDURANCE is half-integer now then round it up.".
80) At 5-164 : retarded rounding for 5-20.
To be added : "If your ENDURANCE is half-integer now then round it up.".
uq: You have to understand to round up or down to begin with.
