[Fortuna]: Luck depends on no one....right? (4/3)

Well this just stepped outside my area of expertise, instead I will just vote on the Fellow plan MK 1, where Nikki is in the kitchen.

>Fellow plan MK 1, called the Fellow plan, because they made it.

SpoilerShow

Room 1
Nova, Nicko
Nicko is a space ripper and therefore doesn't need to fear burning to death. We would have to fear the guy if he's infected by clockwork so he's best left away from the infection.

Room 2
Nikki, for reasons already mentioned.

Room 3
One punch, Bob
The people in this room need to be ready for a clockwork threat. Neither One punch nor Bob sleeps, and if kicked out neither is picky.

Room 4
Hasty, Blu
Something could easily sneak into this room via the busted vents, so it shouldn't be for sleeping people.

Room 5
Cea, Cobalt, Shetlock, Andrus
This room needs high speed members to warn others if need be. Andrus was put in as an afterthought.

Room 6
Cleo, Marble, Citrine
Cleo can't really do much, so her room should be defendable. This room locks, Marble is a strong fighter and so is Citrine. Probably. No-one has to leave if Oooo goes in here.

Room 7
Phlodur
Has a spot open for Blu, Hasty or Oooo.

Room 6
Cleo, Marble, Citrine
Cleo can't really do much, so her room should be defendable. This room locks, Marble is a strong fighter and so is Citrine. Probably. No-one has to leave if Oooo goes in here.

It doesn't matter if there is room for O o o o or not though, it's irrelevant. O o o o WILL kick someone out.

Room 6
Cleo, Marble, Citrine
Cleo can't really do much, so her room should be defendable. This room locks, Marble is a strong fighter and so is Citrine. Probably. No-one has to leave if Oooo goes in here.

It doesn't matter if there is room for O o o o or not though, it's irrelevant. O o o o WILL kick someone out.

But they'll only be stuck if they lack a room to return to. I assume Oooo won't stop anyone from returning. And if he does I think the only one he screws over is Phlodur.

I should have noted this, whoops, but anyone who is kicked out by Oooo ends up rather sleeping in the hallway then dealing with Oooo again.

Also I will likely be closing answers for this puzzle in an hour, after that we'll vote on what answer we want to take. (I will be labeling what movement Oooo will take in each answer.)

Alternative solution that actually follows the rules (unlike my last one), but is probably equally bad of an idea. Actually, scratch that. The one that breaks every rule possible is probably better than choosing this; there'd be less death that way.

1: Nova, Phlodor
2: Cleo
3: Andrus
4: Cea, Blu, Marble
5: Cobalt, Ha$ty, Citrene
6: Shetlock, One Punch, Bob, Nicko
7: Nikki

Worst case scenario, I think:

1. O o o o kicks out Cea from R4
   
2. Blu leaves R4, because O o o o is there, and is stuck in the hall.
   
3. Cea goes to R5
   
4. Citrene leaves R5, because Cea is there, and goes to R3
   
5. Ha$ty leaves R5, because nobody is in Blu's Crew in there, and goes to R1
   
6. Cea leaves R5, because he is only with Cobalt
   
7. Phlodor leaves R1, because there are three people
   
8. Ha$ty leaves R1, because nobody is in Blu's Crew in there, and is stuck in hall
   
9. Phlodor, Cea, and Ha$ty continuously:
   
   1. Phlodor goes into either room 1 or 5, because there is only one other person
      
   2. Cea or Ha$ty follows Phlodor, because that's the only room with space and {Cea: Has two people} {Ha$ty: Has someone from Blu's Crew}
      
   3. Phlodor leaves that room, because there's now three people
      
   4. Cea or Ha$ty leaves that room, because there's now {Cea: Only one other person} {Ha$ty: Nobody in Blu's Crew}
10. Cleo is in the kitchen all by herself RIP

Leaving, in the end
1: Nova
2: Cleo
3: Andrus, Citrene
4: Marble, O o o o
5: Cobalt
6: Shetlock, One Punch, Bob, Nicko
7: Nikki
Hall: Blu
???: Phlodor, Cea, Ha$ty

...And for completeness's sake, a half-baked plan I decided not to finish baking. Or even type up. : P

SpoilerShow

I just spent an unnecessary amount of time determining what I think would be the optimal scenario. Here it is.

SpoilerShow

Room 1
Nova

Room 2
Nikki

Room 3
Citrine, One-Punch

Room 4
Phlodur, Hasty

Room 5
Cobalt, Andrus, Shetlock, Bob, Nicko, Cea

Room 6
Blu, Marble, Cleo

Room 7
Empty

Yes, I spent hours making this needlessly detailed diagram just because it helps to think visually... shut up.

I based some of this off of stat sheets. The only stat sheets we know of are our crew (Nikki, Marble, Cea, Cleo), Shetlock, Noverus, and Cobalt. However, Nova and Cobalt aren't moving from their rooms so we can disregard their sheets for the most part, which is lucky since theirs probably changed drastically anyway. Also, we are able to guess Blu's stat sheet due to the fact he is Splendid's OC, and Splendid made a stat sheet for him on Tumblr. While this sheet is old and almost certainly not accurate (as we don't know how much of it was made canon), with it, we can guess a general trend in regards to Blu's stats (for example, we can assume Blu has high charisma).

I started by putting Nikki in Room 2, since this seems to be the consensus and I agree it's a good idea.

All movable characters whose stats we know do not have a strength over 4, except for Marble. If we are forced into a fight, we should have the higher strength characters at the frontlines, namely, Room 3, the room closest to the infection with guns in it. We can assume that Citrine has high strength because I mean look at her she's so buff I love her. But, Fellow has a point in that we should have someone who doesn't sleep in this room, so we shouldn't put both Marble and Citrine in here. Therefore, I propose Citrine and One-Punch. One-Punch looks to have the highest strength of all our robots, and Citrine can be easily woken up in case of an emergency (unlike Marble).

I also agree with Fellow in that Cleo should be protected so I put Marble with her. I chose the bedroom for Cleo because she needs rest. Also, what Fellow said about Cea being in the control room because of Sonny is a beautiful idea so I put him there.

The rest of the choices were made based on the other characters' rules and my opinions on the rooms in general. I decided to not put as many people into Room 4 as it seems less safe due to the fact there are multiple entrances for the virus to enter as well as a wide open vent. I also think no one should go into Room 1 or Room 7, if there is a lockdown then both rooms are horrible places to be in.

Lastly, I also accounted for all situations where Oooo kicks out a character:

• If Nikki is kicked out, Nikki can only go to Room 7.
  
  
• If Citrine is kicked out, Citrine can go to Room 4 or 6. Room 6 will cause no conflicts and is optimal so it will likely be chosen.
  
  
• If One-Punch is kicked out, One-Punch can go to Room 4, 5, or 6. Both Rooms 5 and 6 will cause no conflicts.
  
  
• If Phlodur is kicked out, Phlodur can only go to Room 7, and Hasty will go to either Room 6 or 7. He will most likely choose Room 6.
  
  
• If Hasty is kicked out, Hasty can only go to Room 6.
  
  
• If Blu is kicked out, Blu can only go to Room 4. This will cause Phlodur to leave to Room 7.
  
  
• If Marble is kicked out, Marble can go to Room 4 or 5. Room 5 will cause no conflicts. Blu will also leave to Room 4, causing Phlodur to leave to Room 7.
  
  
• If Cleo is kicked out, first of all, Blu will move to Room 4, causing Phlodur to move to Room 7. Cleo can go to Room 4 or 5. Going into Room 4 will cause no conflicts. If Cleo goes into Room 5, Andrus will leave. Andrus can go to Room 4 or 6. Room 4 will cause Blu and Hasty to leave. This leaves only Room 7 for them to go to as Phlodur moved there, leaving Andrus alone. Room 6 will cause no conflicts. Both the Room 4 Cleo route and the Room 6 Andrus route are optimal. Cleo could pick either room, but Andrus will most likely choose the room with Marble and Oooo in it over the room with Blu and Hasty.
  
  
• If Andrus is kicked out, this time Andrus can only go to Room 4, as Cleo is still in Room 6. This will cause Phlodur to go to Room 7, and Hasty to go to Room 6 or 7, leaving Andrus alone.
  
  
• If Cea is kicked out, Cea can go to Room 4 or 6. Room 6 will cause no conflicts.
  
  
• If Bob, Nicko, or Shetlock is kicked out, they can go to Room 4 or 6. Both will cause conflicts. If Room 4 is chosen, Phlodur and Hasty will leave, leaving that person alone in Room 4. If Room 6 is chosen, Blu will leave to Room 4, causing Phlodur to leave to Room 7, leaving only Phlodur alone. This is optimal and also more likely to be chosen as Bob, Nicko, and Shetlock are all better acquainted with Cleo and Marble than they are with Phlodur and Hasty.
  
  
• All characters could also go into Rooms 1 and 7, but I discounted those unless it was the only place they could go, as the characters should stay away from those rooms for the most part.
  

I feel this is the optimal layout, as out of 13 scenarios, in only 1 of them is someone other than Nikki, Nova, and/or Phlodur left alone. In addition, there is a robot in every room, meaning that we have someone who doesn't sleep in every room able to alert and wake up others. Most importantly though, in all scenarios, no one is left to sleep in the hall, and no one except Phlodur and Nikki are made to sleep in Rooms 1 or 7.

>I will input strategies later
>[int check: nikki]:have nikki assess each setup before you carry them out
>[int check: nikki]: have nikki design furniture rearrangement for citrine and Cobalt to carry out in each room that will create anti-clockwork kill zones, while meshing comfort with safety
>ask citrine and Cobalt what weapons they have
>Agility Check Cea: Place your items down in the living room, and run about relocating knives to every room so that everyone has at least 1 knife no matter what.


EDIT:
So looking at our possibilities the rooms in order of capacity in descending are
4, 5, 7 , hall - unlimited
6 - four people
1 - three people
3 - two people
2 - one person

Rooms with "immovable" people
1, 5, Noverus and Cobalt respectively
This brings those down to actually
1 - two people ; 3 - unlimited minus one
at least as far as people we can put there, but
1 - two people is actually 0, as those people will only have a few minutes and will have to leave after

People who can be alone:
Blu, Nikki, Phlodur, anyone that doesn't have a requirement otherwise
People who must be together with someone; Cea, Hasty
People who can't be in a room together to begin with:
Nikki - anyone ; Cleo - Andrus, Noverus ; Blue - I'm not making this list ; Cea - Hasty, Phlodur (in any order) ; may have neglected others.

Hasty and Blu could be put into the Office, and Hasty has good agility and could warn everyone, and/or operate a gun. Maybe Citrine too. they're all a pretty good combat setup together.
Everyone who has no requirements could be placed into storage, with a gun if we move the one in the Office.
We also need to take stock of who has what weapons, if any. Cobalt has built in weapons, so she should be fine, along with anyone who stays in the same room as her. This means that Cleo, One Punch, Bob, and a number of others could stay with her safely.
Nikki could be left to either the kitchen, the hallways, or not.
Phlodur could also be put into the cup room with Noverus. Phlodur would then need to move back to the Living Room, where just about nobody seems to ever be from my plan.
With these, nobody (except maybe Nikki) needs to be in the hallways, and even then Nikki would be able to handle himself with 10 int.

>Nikki Intelligence Check: Look at each possible strategy and organize sleeping shifts for everyone

Hallway - Nikki
Room 1 - Noverus, Marble (IFF marble cancels out nova's heat)
Room 2 - Nobody
Room 3 - Citrine, Hasty
Room 4 -
Room 5 - Almond's I suppose
Room 5 - IDK
etc

Can we move items between rooms? If so then we should distribute the knives so everyone has a pointy object to use.

TIME TO VOTE!

First off, commands that will be taken no matter what.
- Everyone gets a knife.
- Phlodur gets 4 knifes.

Next, we will now be hosting a vote, I will be telling you Oooo's movements and any butterfly effects that may have for every suggestion. The Oooo movement I list WILL be the movement he takes if voted in. To keep this post short I'll be linking to each suggestion post instead of quoting, click the suggestion link to see what notes the suggester might have had.

Only 1 vote per person!

Oooo's Movements
In this situation Oooo kicks Cea out of room 4. Blu follows out, not trusting Oooo. Cea goes to room 5. Citrene leaves room 5 out of hate for Cea and heads to room 3, which is now full. Hasty leaves the room as he wishes to be with his crew. Cea leaves room 5 due to the lack of people, which, by the way, he caused.

Hasty heads to room 1 to hang with Phlodor. Phlodor is kind of sick of Hasty babying her (or that's what she says, she actually just gets nervous in small rooms with too many people) and leaves. Hasty chases after her.

Phlodor goes in to room 5. Hasty enters room 5. Phlodor leaves room 5 due to too many people. Phlodor enters room 1. Cea enters room 1. Phlodor leaves due to too many people. Phlodor goes in to room 5. Hasty enters room 5. Phlodor leaves room 5 due to too many people. Phlodor enters room 1. Cea enters room 1. Phlodor leaves due to too many people.

Phlodor goes in to room 5. Hasty enters room 5. Phlodor leaves room 5 due to too many people. Phlodor enters room 1. Cea enters room 1. Phlodor leaves due to too many people.

Athena screams and convinces You to put Andrus on the crew. Andrus bursts out of the room and points a gun at the group. Andrus randomly decides he's either going to shoot Cea or Phlodor.

Fortuna flips a coin. It lands on 1. Andrus goes to shoot Cea. Athena rerolls due to the roll being too low. Fortuna flips a coin. It lands on 2. Andrus goes to shoot Phlodor.

The 2 infinities of Athena rerolling as well as 3 characters constantly opening the closing doors causes the game to overload. Mors attempts to stop it, but it's too late. Two infinite expanding plot holes open. The whole universe is sucked in to a spot that is far too small for it. The universe is destroyed, as well as the underworld. This whole event kills the sun god, as well as everything else in the universe.

Phlodor goes in to room 8.

I vote for Almond's plan.

[strike]fuck it lets end the universe[/strike]

Seconding the plan that took forever and > Knives for everyone, especially Phlodur.

I vote for my own plan, because, er, narcissism?

E: Changing my vote to Almond's plan, because a lot of good points were brought up on it!

>I vote for DS' plan

> I vote for Almond's plan!

I'm voting for Almond's plan because Phlodur wallowing in trash sounds funny.

I like small puzzles like these, and you could try making them harder (i.e. people having stricter requirements in this case) in the future. Seating arrangement isn't very important, but it's still fun to figure out and failing at it might lead to some silly combinations.

>The Almond seems to know what they're doing.

(Also this leaves Cleo in the control room, where she can fangirl over meeting Cobalt. One can never be too sick for fangirling.)

Oh dang, I didn't get to optimise my plan for Oooo kicking people out pernamently.

>I think the Almond plan has the best outcome.

(Also this leaves Cleo in the control room, where she can fangirl over meeting Cobalt. One can never be too sick for fangirling.)

On the one hand I wanna ship it, but on the other hand cobalt can't have babies anymore.
>Cea: use your relationship experting skills to bring Cobalt and Cleo closer together.

I vote for the one where Nova and Nicko are together!

On the one hand I wanna ship it, but on the other hand cobalt can't have babies anymore.

They don't need to have babies to have a lovely relationship. Ship away.

And I vote for the Plan That Took Forever.

>Kieros accidentally kills the Sun God plan

> Plan d'Almond.

I think it's a scientifically proven fact that plans work better if they are in French.

Ooh... Tough choice between Kieros accidentally kills the Sun God plan and The Almond Plan... I know!
flip a coin for me!

Ooh... Tough choice between Kieros accidentally kills the Sun God plan and The Almond Plan... I know!

You should have Athena do it. In fact we should give her a roll of quarters and ask her to flip them all! (In all honesty this would probably be both highly amusing and destructive.)
