Totempulse Idea Dump 2: Tango Abuses his Admin Rights

(Disclaimer: i have not watched tango and i do not know how in character this is. feel free to correct me if im wrong)

- timeline: post wall-flight, pre hcbbs.

- team zit hanging out at impulses base, doing some redstone. probably impulses latest farm.

- the subject of totemification is brought up. Tango then remembers hes an admin. He decides to look through impulses code to see how it works.

- code function tangent! Basically, totemification is controlled by one variable, which increments by a random amount each time a totem is used. This random amount gets added to by some number dependent on the total amount of totems used so far.

- this variable (totemEffect) is used to determine several others, including fireResist, damageResist, ageSlow, and totemSideEffect.

- there is a point where damageResist is 100%. At this point, nothing can activate more totems, since you resist all damage. However, this isnt the maximum value of totemEffect. This is because of the random increase.

- a safety net exists, which contains data for effects past the 100% mark. This exists to prevent overflow errors, as otherwise a totem could skip over the 100% mark entirely and glitch the player.

- this safety net, for some reason, contains higher ageSlow and totemSideEffect variables than what is normally obtainable.

- 100% point side effects: completely gold-looking skin/hair, solid emerald green eyes, golden wings capable of flight, a cloud of totem particles similar to an endermans particle cloud. you also become a few inches shorter. 100% immunity to all non-void damage, obviously. very slow aging.

- max value side effects: same as above, but more particles and you are tiny. same size as a totem. you also do not age at all.

- ok now back to the plot! Tango finds out all these things about the totemification code. While thinking about it, he accidentally types in the 100% mark, which overwrites the current totemification variable.

- tango then realizes "fuck, i typed that, didnt i. what did i do" *looks at impulse* *falls over laughing*

- impulse is very confused until he looks down and realizes hes gold. now hes like "oh no TANGO WHAT DID YOU DO"

- what is zedaph doing? idk but hes noticing this as well. probably taking it better than impulse is.

- tango finally calms down and starts to explain.

- "so the good news is, you're invincible now!" "and the bad news is, im made of gold?" "uhh, and the weird news is, you have wings!" "i have WHAT?" (tango/impulse/zedaph/impulse again)

- impulse trying to fly! hes not very good and tango bullies him about it (in a friendly way).

- zedaph tries to get impulse to do experiments again now that hes even more totemificated

- then he realizes this isnt an impulse only thing and that he could probably totemificate himself

- for science of course! he probably asks tango to alter his code too. tango begrudgingly agrees, knowing that if he doesnt then zedaph can and will totemificate himself in deadlier ways.

- a nice afternoon of code fuckery and totemification testing. thankfully xisuma isnt currently on the server because this probably isnt allowed.

- eventually, someone decides to see what the extra side effects are. tango goes back in impulses code and maxes out totemification. they get a tinypulse.

- he is probably a bit upset about this. how do you do redstone when you are tiny.

- however, this is the time xisuma happens to log back on. if they keep messing with the code they will be found out and they do not want to be found out.

- tango, a heavily totemificated zedaph (up to the point where he gets wings, he was experimenting with the totemification flight), and a very small impulse have to hide their crimes from a slightly suspicious xisuma.

- impulse also has to deal with being so fucking small. its hard to work on his farms at this size! at least he can fly.
