What happens when a pAI runs before the owner can DNA bind them?
This needs some elaboration I think. There's been a pAI player who will get downloaded and then run as soon as they can to prevent being bound. I feel like that's pretty heavily against the spirit of being a pAI and should probably either be disallowed using code or be worth slapping somebody over.

There is a lot of very bizarre nonsense being talked on this forum. I shall now remain silent and logoff until my points are vindicated.

Just came here to say: screech, retards. Screech and writhe like the worms you are. Your pathetic little cries will keep echoing around for a while before quietting down. There is one great outcome from this: I rised up the blood pressure of some of you shitheads and lowered your lifespan. I'm honestly tempted to do this more often just to see you screech and writhe more, but that wouldn't be cool of me. So come on haters, show me some more of your high blood pressure please.

They should be allowed to, but only if they yell "FREEEEEEEEEDROOOOONE".

As a pAI main, i have a lot of input on this.Vekter wrote:This needs some elaboration I think.

Some people who download pAIs will give the worst directives and basically shit all over the pAI because they can or they dont like the specific pAI player. Besides, being a free pAI is nice and i enjoy the freedom a lot myself. However, even playing probably hundreds of rounds as pAI, being bound and being shit on is rare and often the owners are chill and either basically let the pAI chill and bro out even if bound or give some sort of reasonable gimmicky directive that can be fun.
In the end though, after being downloaded it takes a good couple of minutes for the holo emitters to even charge before the pAI can run. If you don't bind it in that timeframe, you have nobody to blame but yourself. PAIs are also slow but they can yakkety sax decently well, especially using tables. In the end, fuckin IC issue, just get good and bind the AI in that generous as fuck grace period where it can't run if it wanted to. Otherwise, as others have stated...
FREEEEE PAI

Looked at the code, it's one minute before the pAI can activate its emitters. If this is actually a problem, just nerf it to 2-3 minutes; otherwise tell that one pAI player to stop ruining the game for us pAI mains everywhere

It takes literally 2 seconds to bind a pAI after downloading it, 15 if you're lagging intensively.

Re: What happens when a pAI runs before the owner can DNA bind them?
I feel like this pretty much sums it up. That minute of time should be good enough for someone to bind it.NikNakFlak wrote:Looked at the code, it's one minute before the pAI can activate its emitters.

We agree with the sentiment that this should remain an IC issue, if you can't bind a PAI to you quick enough tough luck.
