The wiki claims that you can't get insults from TLAPD pirates, at least.

Hmmm, it also doesn't work on scary pirates. I guess -- like basically every single thing else -- a general solution doesn't completely work and I should code in the exceptions. Sigh.
PHP:
// new check:
if (m.phylum == $phylum[pirate] && !($strings[step5, finished] contains get_property("questM12Pirate")) &&
!($monsters[scary pirate, migratory pirate, black crayon pirate] contains m))

If you are too weak for barr pirates, you might buy the book and get insults in cove. I did that in some runs.
I don't think so. If you have 8 insults, you shouldn't be looking for more, even if you haven't beer ponged yet, that's just senseless buffing of pirates.

xKiv pretty much nailed what I was trying to say with respect to the pirates.

Then you should be happy to know that SS has always counted insults and never insulted a pirate if you have 8 of them. That is unlikely to change.

Well, I was quoting your response to Theraze's "we can stop at 6/7/8/user-defined-variable", said response starting with "That's less useful", which led me to believe that you were suggesting to replace the current behavior (stop at 8) with a new one (stop at poop unlock). Obviously, the combination of both is better than either on its own.
(also, I almost never see all 8 insults before beating beer pong, so I wouldn't know anyway)

If someone is still adventuring at the barrr and has not unlocked the f'c'le, then it would be a bad idea to stop at 6 insults so a user-defined variable to allow him to make that mistake would lack for usefulness. More insults are always better (up to the limit of 8, of course) as long as the f'c'le is locked. That's what I meant.

Everybody is right. The original discussion was about the code prior to counting insults. SS has always and will always skip insulting if you have all 8. And now, thanks to quest tracking, SS will always try for insults if you have less than 8 and haven't unlocked the F'c'le, even if the pirate was wandering or faxed. This is optimal, no setting needed.
I tested the new code using the questM12Pirate setting this run and it worked beautifully. I'm going to fix yellow rays for fxer and then we'll have us an update.

Suggestion for BIG! runs:
Treat siphoning like aftercore, since people don't really need stats. Basically, turn

A grand suggestion. Version 3.21.
Also, when performing custom actions vs. GMoB or Cyrus, ignore death and throw the items anyway, like a maniac.
Also also, in the odd case that your stun action is your custom action, don't use your stun action to prepare your custom action because duh.

There's some interaction between Batbrain and SmartStasis that is resulting in SmartStasis using Candyblast inappropriately against physically resistant monsters. Today in the Boo Peak my character was beaten up four times out of six because SmartStasis just kept casting Candyblast until the character lost the combat.
The fifth time SmartStasis reached the round limit and the the character didn't have enough HP or MP to finish the combat.
The sixth time SmartStasis reached the round limit and there was enough MP left to finish the combat
This is in a HC Big! Sauceror run.
I posted verbosity 9 and 10 gCLI output in the WHAM thread for the combat that completed successfully.
Any thoughts?

Is this a SmartStassis issue, or a WHAM issue?
Why do we do a jiggle for a one round stun after doing entangling noodles, and not before? I can't imagine that the one round stun isn't known for the Staff of the November Jack-o-Lantern...

There was a time it used to make a difference or at least no one had spaded it out and so most people thought it made a difference. I'd link it, but I don't remember where, but these things all stack now (or always did). The order doesn't matter as you said.

WHAM is stuning with noodles and then using the silent skill and the jiggle for its damaging properties. At that point it completely ignores the fact that it also stuns for one round since it has already done a stun.
The stun employed is always, when one is used, the first action and is always a >1 round stun because otherwise enqueueing it doesn't help with the rest of the combat.

Technically, if you have any passive damaging/special effects, the monster *might* die/do something that ends fight after your first action. In that case "jiggle, noodles" will save you 1-3 MP (or more, if you have +cost) wrt "noodles, jiggle".
