The way these games go, as I understand it, is that the threat levels you face are appropriate to your power and position. The harder you are to beat the harder the things they hurl at you.

Quote:

Anna is the type of person to try and skirt the rules, and also follow the path of least resistance. Most likely she got the citadel just by stealing it, and acquired the demons because they're weak and easy enough to dominate, and she just managed to do so in large numbers.

I think the time limit would have been a restricting factor in this game.

Quote:

A long while ago I played a very simple trading-based space video game (don't remember what it's called) that tried to focus players on acquiring bigger and better things. I violated that principle by instead finding a quiet corner with a planet in it, and built up wealth and resources quickly until I basically controlled the entire sector. Even the game-controlled drone patrols couldn't beat mine.

Quote:

Now imagine Anna could do the same thing, only she knows every possible hack for the game, so she could do so much faster.

You should do an Anna story along those lines.

      - A fine, rousing and only slightly mentally-scarring finish! · Visionary · Mon Oct 31, 2011 at 11:47:11 am EDT
        
        Light mental scarring is what both hallowe'en and the Parodyverse are all about. · HH · Mon Oct 31, 2011 at 06:01:26 pm EDT

        I can't think of any video game that hasn't needed patching. · HH · Mon Oct 31, 2011 at 05:40:03 pm EDT
        
        Always, but they could at least finish it. · Anime Jason · Mon Oct 31, 2011 at 11:34:29 pm EDT

      - Yeah, this is probably true of 99% of online schoolgirls. · Visionary · Sun Oct 30, 2011 at 05:08:56 pm EDT
        
        I was actually going to use that joke and then I forgot about it. · HH · Mon Oct 31, 2011 at 10:21:57 am EDT
      - Part 2 - That giggle attack would have come in handy. · Anime Jason · Sun Oct 30, 2011 at 02:02:52 pm EDT
        
        But the downside is weakness to tickling. · HH · Mon Oct 31, 2011 at 10:24:09 am EDT
        
        That only produces more giggling though. · Anime Jason · Mon Oct 31, 2011 at 11:26:59 am EDT
