Kingdom of Loathing - Hardcore Community Service 3-Day Script

This is a HC CS 3 day script that works with minimal IOTMs and minimal skills. This script uses zero adventures beyond the services themselves.
The upside is that there are no variables to the success of this script and you can be any class.

Script benefits:
Few required IOTMS (you theoretically can even drop one of the IOTMs on the list below except deck and be fine, but not supported by this script)
Only one permed skill required (ode)
You can run as any class
There are enough turns each day to do other things like Daily Dungeons, etc. (figure out how many extra adventures you have left before spending)
Take any familiar you like for 100% runs

The script will not run the most efficient 3 day run possible but it will always run any class in 3 days.

RUNTIME NOTE (Seeming fixed in v0.29): If you run the script and it doesn't actually perform any of the services that day just run the script again for that day.

REQUIRED IOTMs:
Deck of cards
Winter garden
Smiths tome
Vip key
Chateau

REQUIRED HARDCORE PERMED SKILLS:
Ode to booze

HOW TO START:
Get astral bracers (astral statuette is better if you have it)
Get astral energy drinks

Set your chateau to the stat gain per rest item for your mainstat
Set your chateau to the ceiling fan to save some money (maybe necessary due to mp needs)

Choose Hardcore and Community Service path
Choose any class you like!
Choose any sign that has degrasi

When you first run the script it will tell you what day you're on and ask you if that's correct.
Second it will ask you if you want to end the day with an overdrink. This was added in case you wanted to do other things before the end of the day.

Code:
svn checkout https://github.com/Kavokane/KAscend/branches/master/

I may provide limited support if all requirements above are met. Feel free to use this script as a base for any other run.

Thanks for the script Kavok. I do have a question though. I notice you say the script is class independent but you have the script always cheating empress. Is this intentional because you always want the increased MP or should it use the class specific mainstat card?

You're very welcome! Interestingly enough, you don't need to even level the appropriate mainstat. All of my calculations are based on spending the worst case scenario of 60 adventures each. All food/booze/spleen adventures consumed by the end of the run exceeds the maximum cost of 660.

Any basic "optimization" I put in along the way is to give people a few more adventures at the end of the run or during if you want to farm something (ie: Daily Dungeon, Funfunds, etc).

I would probably recommend keeping it though to ensure you have enough max mana to cast ode. I may optimize this later to cover efficiency and ode coverage both.

It failed to do the coil service on the first run, probably needs two visit_url("council.php") in a row to get the services page ready to go:

Code:
page = visit_url("council.php"); //initial message that the council is in jail
page = visit_url("council.php");
page = visit_url("choice.php?whichchoice=1089&option=11&pwd");
doCLI("use a ten-percent bonus");

Does look kind of silly, but I've often had to do that sort of thing in KoL scripts for whatever reason...

After that it failed to get the emergency margarita, seemingly because I only had 46 adventures and it needed 49-50.

I went back and forth about that extra entry, I guess I'll put it back and hope it helps people.

I'm guessing you missed out on eating the steak? At the end of the day you should have about 250 adventures available to you throughout the day and services only cost up to 180.

It did eat the steak. I re-ran it starting from using the ten-percent bonus (commented out everything before that) after it crashed, and it stopped on "drink margarita" because it didn't have it. Not sure what went wrong... Here's the log:

Got it, unless I missed it it looks like you might not have the speakeasy or vip clan hall? There are three drinks and a hotdog you get from that which bumps you up quite a bit for adventures. That accounts for 37 adventures right there.

You can still follow the plan the script has layed out but you'll really need to fill those missing drinks and food each day plus ode to make up for it.

Looks like you don't have speakeasy/hotdogstand from vip key? That would account for the missing adventures.

Would this script work with only Deck, VIP & Dinseyland?

As it's written now it would not work. Smith and winter garden are major contributors to the daily food/drink to keep up. You might be able to follow the script manually and fill in the food/drink gaps with deck random food and drinks, plus some currency farming to get some dinsey winskeys.

Finished using 3 Flaskfull of Hollow.
Verifying ingredients for Work is a Four Letter Sword (1)...
You need 1 more sword hilt to continue.

Any idea how to continue from here? I bought a sword hilt...

Hey, So I'm just trying out the script for the first time today and it stopped at buying a sword hilt. I went out, bought the hilt, and re-ran the script. but now it won't move past the Deck of every card since it has pulled it already.

What should I do?
