==Blue Chip and other drops==<br />
Myself level 30 with 407 HP, Mick gave 829 XP and had 651 HP (434 TNT hit). I got blue chip and candy. --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 04:46, 28 September 2010 (PDT)<br />
<br />
Fought him with 4 characters:<br />
level 70 Naturalist, won the first time, got the gorilla vest and thunderbolt(and chip - it's guaranteed, apparently). <br><br />
level 50 elementalist, lost many times, got only the chip.<br><br />
level 50 gadgeteer, lost once, got chip and thunderbolt.<br><br />
level 50 psion, lost once, got chip and thunderbolt.<br><br />

:So far I beat him on my three chars on different lvls, got only chip always. It seems that elemental is hardest, the only class I can't beat him with.

: I'm thinking the drops might be related to the amount of adjusting he does. fought him when he only adjusted defense and got NOTHING. not even a blue chip. --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 07:16, 1 October 2010 (PDT)<br />

<br />
Got in on all 4 chars on first runs and so far 1 in 3 second runs. Also noticed that last time I got chip was after seeing "Apparently feeling cocky, the Mick picks up a coin from his desk, flips it once, and drops it into a pocket."--[[User:Shikao|Shikao]] 09:44, 6 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
: I think those messages are the hints. If people can be specific as to what message they got and what dropped it would be great. So far I can say what I got:<br />
:* No message: no drops<br />
:* he Mick takes a moment to clear a couple of things: coin + 2 other drops. <br />
: I can also say I got those messages after excessively buffing myself, and getting at least two adjustments.<br />
: --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 14:34, 6 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
::I wonder what the "coin flipping" message means. In my last run, I lost to him several times, but at the beginning of combat, I sometimes got the coin message and sometimes didn't, even though my buffs and equipment were (as far as I can recall) the same during multiple attempts. --[[User:Prestige|Prestige]] 15:58, 6 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
:: I had only one adjustment when I got coin and all possible Naturalist buffs at that moment + yellow pill. I lost the first time and on second attempt, adjustemnts were exactly the same. --[[User:Shikao|Shikao]] 22:06, 6 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
: I just the "flip a coin message" which only got me the blue chip. Anecdotal, but so far it works. "flip a coin" = blue chip. "clear a couple of things" = 3 items. --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 02:06, 7 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
<br />
Fought him again, got the 'shield', 'evasive subroutine activated' and 'coin' special messages at the start. He only dropped a blue chip. <br />
add-on: level 11 gadgeteer, had LOTS of buffs on(no item restrictions run), and had a significant amount of +dodge from equip. <br />
[[User:Edivad|Edivad]] 04:31, 7 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
<br />
<br />
Only got the "attach a suitable shield to his exosuit" message, no drop. Level 11 gadgeteer, no +to-hit or +to-dodge, a bit of +ranged damage, and 10 DA. --[[User:TeKRunneR|TeKRunneR]] 04:43, 7 October 2010 (PDT)<br />

Lvl 11 Elemental 225 Defense(natural -- no buffs) 114 HP 50% acid 5% fire, ice, electrical and he buffed aura and defense plus used pink, grey, and yellow buttons -- no drops jpsteel 8 Oct 2010<br />
<br />
::: I just managed to get the vest, and indeed with the vest message. My method was to randomly buff myself with over 40 buffs. I don't think I had more than two adjustments. The Mick had 1200 HP compared to my 130 and he hit me for 128 on the first turn, so it was a close call. TNT ftw. --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 11:42, 10 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure the Mick scales with + toughness -- I got the coin message with no buffs and +13 toughness. Also, I noticed he hits harder when you add + toughness -- jpsteel 15 Oct 2010<br />
<br />
Ryme confirmed in chat earlier that + toughness is indeed one of the ways (not the only) to get the blue chip to drop -- jpsteel 16 Oct 2010<br />
<br />
+1 FT from the silver necklace wasn't enough to trigger the coin. +13 from the Coon's cap was enough. Also, +7 from the coil was enough. --[[User:NardoLoopa|NardoLoopa]] 05:54, 21 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
<br />
I got the blue chip with no FT and my guess is when I got concussed (8th Buff) it triggered. -- jpsteel 22 Oct 2010<br />
<br />
Once again I got the blue chip trigger with 7 "active effects" and no blue chip trigger with 6 "active effects" so at this point I'm going to speculate the blue chip triggers with >1 FT or 7+ active effects. jpsteel 2 Nov 2010<br />

==Strategies & Combat Mechanics==<br />
My hypothesis is that if you fought The Mick the day before (and didn't beat him) then when you fight him the next day you'll have an absurdly good chance at beating him. Case in point: I lost to him yesterday. Today I went into combat with only my starting Slingshot (Gadgetteer). He owned me without any armor doing more than maxhp on the first hit. However, with some shoddy gear (105 total power, no other effects), I was able to last 6 rounds (he mostly did 12+12 dam). In that time my Slingshot did 85damage for a single hit, and 140damage for a double hit. --[[User:NardoLoopa|NardoLoopa]] 06:07, 21 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
<br>-i doubt it. i've managed to lose to him 5 days in a row and he has not been easier after any given loss. --uewebawo 12:34, 22 October 2010 (EDT)</div>

==Strategies & Combat Mechanics==<br />
My hypothesis is that if you fought The Mick the day before (and didn't beat him) then when you fight him the next day you'll have an absurdly good chance at beating him. Case in point: I lost to him yesterday. Today I went into combat with only my starting Slingshot (Gadgetteer). He owned me without any armor doing more than maxhp on the first hit. However, with some shoddy gear (105 total power, no other effects), I was able to last 6 rounds (he mostly did 12+12 dam). In that time my Slingshot did 85damage for a single hit, and 140damage for a double hit. --[[User:NardoLoopa|NardoLoopa]] 06:07, 21 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
<br>-i doubt it. i've managed to lose to him 5 days in a row and he has not been easier after any given loss. --uewebawo 12:34, 22 October 2010 (EDT)</div>

==Strategies & Combat Mechanics==<br />
My hypothesis is that if you fought The Mick the day before (and didn't beat him) then when you fight him the next day you'll have an absurdly good chance at beating him. Case in point: I lost to him yesterday. Today I went into combat with only my starting Slingshot (Gadgetteer). He owned me without any armor doing more than maxhp on the first hit. However, with some shoddy gear (105 total power, no other effects), I was able to last 6 rounds (he mostly did 12+12 dam). In that time my Slingshot did 85damage for a single hit, and 140damage for a double hit. --[[User:NardoLoopa|NardoLoopa]] 06:07, 21 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
<br>-i doubt it. i've managed to lose to him 5 days in a row and he has not been easier after any given loss. --uewebawo 12:34, 22 October 2010 (EDT)</div>

: I think those messages are the hints. If people can be specific as to what message they got and what dropped it would be great. So far I can say what I got:<br />

:* he Mick takes a moment to clear a couple of things: coin + 2 other drops. <br />

Fought him again, got the 'shield', 'evasive subroutine activated' and 'coin' special messages at the start. He only dropped a blue chip. <br />
add-on: level 11 gadgeteer, had LOTS of buffs on(no item restrictions run), and had a significant amount of +dodge from equip. <br />
[[User:Edivad|Edivad]] 04:31, 7 October 2010 (PDT)<br />

<br />
::: I just managed to get the vest, and indeed with the vest message. My method was to randomly buff myself with over 40 buffs. I don't think I had more than two adjustments. The Mick had 1200 HP compared to my 130 and he hit me for 128 on the first turn, so it was a close call. TNT ftw. --[[User:Muhandes|Muhandes]] 11:42, 10 October 2010 (PDT)<br />

I'm pretty sure the Mick scales with + toughness -- I got the coin message with no buffs and +13 toughness. Also, I noticed he hits harder when you add + toughness -- jpsteel 15 Oct 2010<br />
<br />
Ryme confirmed in chat earlier that + toughness is indeed one of the ways (not the only) to get the blue chip to drop -- jpsteel 16 Oct 2010<br />
<br />
+1 FT from the silver necklace wasn't enough to trigger the coin. +13 from the Coon's cap was enough. Also, +7 from the coil was enough. --[[User:NardoLoopa|NardoLoopa]] 05:54, 21 October 2010 (PDT)<br />

Once again I got the blue chip trigger with 7 "active effects" and no blue chip trigger with 6 "active effects" so at this point I'm going to speculate the blue chip triggers with >1 FT or 7+ active effects. jpsteel 2 Nov 2010<br />
<br />
11 effects - only Blue Chip dropped --[[User:Shikao|Shikao]] 02:52, 4 November 2010 (PDT)<br />
<br />
7 effects. Red Eyes, Holiday Cheer, Tangled up in Two, Hear my Roar, Cinematic, Old Man Walking, Utter Wretchedness;<br />
current stats: 92 strength, 52 intellect, 64 reflexes, 69 hp, 88 pp [buffed, including talisman (Navy Wrench);<br />
+3% exp from combat [Dingo's Lotus];<br />
Nothing equipped otherwise. - Got coin message. Dropped Red Eyes (spent turns), and I lost the coin message. As unlikely as it seems, maybe it is simply a count of effects. --[[User:Valera|Valera]] 02:55, 4 November 2010 (PDT)<br />

==Strategies & Combat Mechanics==<br />
My hypothesis is that if you fought The Mick the day before (and didn't beat him) then when you fight him the next day you'll have an absurdly good chance at beating him. Case in point: I lost to him yesterday. Today I went into combat with only my starting Slingshot (Gadgetteer). He owned me without any armor doing more than maxhp on the first hit. However, with some shoddy gear (105 total power, no other effects), I was able to last 6 rounds (he mostly did 12+12 dam). In that time my Slingshot did 85damage for a single hit, and 140damage for a double hit. --[[User:NardoLoopa|NardoLoopa]] 06:07, 21 October 2010 (PDT)<br />
<br>-i doubt it. i've managed to lose to him 5 days in a row and he has not been easier after any given loss. --uewebawo 12:34, 22 October 2010 (EDT)</div>

* To-hit is compared to [[Dodging modifiers|dodge]] to determine if an attempted hit lands or misses.<br />
* According to the [[Combat (manual)|manual]], each character has a basic to-hit ability, determined by class and level. This is modified by [[Reflexes modifiers|Reflexes]] and to-hit modifiers.<br />

|image=progress-bar.jpg<br />
|desc=When all else fails ... uh, you can, too?<br />
<br />
After you punch the orange F with a virtual hand, a progress bar appears along with the words "Debugger loading." A blue line slowly begins filling a white box, while a timer underneath estimates that it will take 999,999,999 minutes. But in no more than the time it takes for you to roll your eyes it jumps to 99% complete, and the estimate jumps down to 2 seconds. Naturally, it takes a full minute for those "two seconds" to pass. Then the bar kicks into motion ... sliding ''backwards'' of all things. Eventually it does kick forward again, shooting to the end and then beyond the bounds of the white box, zipping somewhere far off screen.<br />
<br />
Moments later the whole mess is replaced by the image of some sort of futuristic pub--half Mos Eisley cantina and half Quark's, with a burble of wandering puppets and Ferengi in the background. Gee, wonder where the programmers got their inspiration? A vaguely familiar human bartender leans up against the counter and addresses you. "Welcome to The Progress Bar. Looks like you could use a nice tall glass of debugging. What's your order?"<br />
<br />
Confusing. The bartender looks at you expectantly. Apparently he's a quirky metaphor for the computer interface, and you're supposed to tell him what you want to do. Knowing the programmers, it probably only recognizes one word commands.<br />

| break, kill, quit || <code>Cancel failed. An unrecoverable error has occurred. Cancel? Okay/Cancel</code><br />
<br />
You look closely at those buttons. Do you want to cancel the cancel in order to continue, or okay the cancel to stop? Or are you canceling the first cancel, in which case okay continues, where canceling the canceled cancel really does cancel it? Argh!<br />
<br />
You solve the issue by closing your eyes and hitting a few keys at random, figuring whatever you get from pure chance would be better than choosing it yourself.<br />

You can't say you were expecting that response.<br />

| calculator, spreadsheet || <code>#REF! Formula Error. Invalid calculation range.</code><br />

You spend something like five minutes trying to figure out that one of the cells in the spreadsheet is pointing one more row to the right than it should be. After that discovery, you're feeling pretty alert and effective.<br />

{{getEffectC|Excelling|65}}<br />
|-<br />
| cd || <code>The operating system has found an unknown device and is installing a driver for it.</code><br />
<br />
Halfway through it asks you to insert a CD with the proper driver for the unknown device. You try CD after CD, but none of them seem to work. Eventually you can't even say CD or read the word CD without it seeming strange and imaginary. See-D? C-dee? Sea dea?<br />

To top that off, a ray of energy shoots out of the digitized darkness and blasts you. Again and again and again. And once more makes five.<br />

{{getEffectC|Rayed 5|65}}<br />

| chmod, quota || You're a bit shocked at the reply: <code>You don't exist. Go away.</code><br />

{{getEffectC|Access Denied|65}}<br />

|-<br />
| dir, ls, list || <code>Drive path not found. Check instructions in your home folder for repair options.</code><br />

If you can't find the drive path, how are you supposed to get to your home directory? (Presumably there's some trick involving having your pudding when you don't eat your meat.)<br />

{{getEffectC|Got Drive?|65}}<br />

| echo, ping || <code>Network failure. Card experiencing limited or no connectivity. Commencing ping test.</code><br />

Unlike your average network ping, this one is audible. It leaves your ears ringing so badly even people around you can hear the echo of the ping.<br />
<br />
{{getEffectC|Pinging|65}}<br />

| eject, floppy, read || <code>Non-system disk or disk error</code><br />
<br />
<code>Replace and strike any key when ready</code><br />
<br />
Well, you'd replace the any key, but you can't even find it. There's no way you'll be able to strike it if you can't complete those first steps. Oh, wait, there's a floppy disk in the drive. Of course. You pull out the floppy, at which point the whole system crashes, and you climb out.<br />
<br />
{{getEffectC|Floppy|65}}<br />

<br />
Ouch. Talk about making your brain hurt.<br />

{{getEffectC|Mega Hurts|65}}<br />
|-<br />
| offline || <code>PC Load Letter</code><br />
<br />
Huh? PC Load Letter? What does that even mean?<br />
<br />
Clearly the printer is offline again. This makes you furious, and it takes several long minutes of concentration and steady breathing to once again get yourself properly grounded.<br />
<br />
{{getEffectC|Offline|65}}<br />
|-<br />
| power || <code>Battery low. Proceeding to batter user.</code><br />

The battering turns out to be fairly mild, more like a tingle. It recharges you until your power is at the highest point.<br />

Well, you never!<br />

Man, that doesn't look good.<br />
<br />
{{getEffectC|Rebooting|65}}<br />
|-<br />
| scan, move || <code>Replication with a nonconfigured party not allowed. Copy failed.</code><br />
<br />
Frustratingly, you can see the copy file sitting there in the window, but it won't let you save or do anything but quit. Shame.<br />
<br />
{{getEffectC|Digit-eyes-ed|65}}<br />
<br />

| server || <code>Initiating DOS ... error, Denial of Service service denied. Reason: don't be evil.</code><br />
<br />
Well, that computer sure showed you.<br />
<br />
{{getEffectC|Served|65}}<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| start|| Oddly enough, you try start, but that leads you to a choice between logging off, shutting down, and rebooting. Who knew?<br />
<br />
You punch out of the dialogue, hoping the irony doesn't extend to the escape key putting you in jail or something. What kind of crazy software is this, anyway?<br />
<br />
{{getEffectC|Soft Wear|65}}<br />

<br />
"Uh, no," you reply. You say this not because honesty is the best policy, but because the best policy generally involves absolute denial of everything.<br />
<br />
The man looks disappointed. "Oh, well, if you see her, would you give her this?" and hands you a small metal device like a magnet with wire wrapped around it. He sniffs the air and shuffles off, snuffling to himself. <br />

The machine grabs a can of your root beer before you can object, and converts it into a root beer float. Nifty! But it makes you wonder what variable type the original root beer must have been. <br />

Defrag<br><br />
A wild-eyed man runs up from one side of the bar, his glasses slighly askew and his curly hair a few steps beyond tousled. He appears to be panting slightly. "Did you say 'defrag'? I am the DiskKeeper, are you the MasterKey?"<br />
<br />
"Uh, no," you reply. You say this not because honesty is the best policy, but because the best policy generally involves absolute denial of everything.<br />
<br />
The man looks disappointed. "Oh, well, if you see her, would you give her this?" and hands you a small metal device like a magnet with wire wrapped around it. He sniffs the air and shuffles off, snuffling to himself.<br />

<div>{{encounter<br />
|image=progress-bar.jpg<br />
|desc=When all else fails ... uh, you can, too?<br />
<br />
After you punch the orange F with a virtual hand, a progress bar appears along with the words "Debugger loading." A blue line slowly begins filling a white box, while a timer underneath estimates that it will take 999,999,999 minutes. But in no more than the time it takes for you to roll your eyes it jumps to 99% complete, and the estimate jumps down to 2 seconds. Naturally, it takes a full minute for those "two seconds" to pass. Then the bar kicks into motion ... sliding ''backwards'' of all things. Eventually it does kick forward again, shooting to the end and then beyond the bounds of the white box, zipping somewhere far off screen.<br />
<br />
Moments later the whole mess is replaced by the image of some sort of futuristic pub--half Mos Eisley cantina and half Quark's, with a burble of wandering puppets and Ferengi in the background. Gee, wonder where the programmers got their inspiration? A vaguely familiar human bartender leans up against the counter and addresses you. "Welcome to The Progress Bar. Looks like you could use a nice tall glass of debugging. What's your order?"<br />
<br />
Confusing. The bartender looks at you expectantly. Apparently he's a quirky metaphor for the computer interface, and you're supposed to tell him what you want to do. Knowing the programmers, it probably only recognizes one word commands.<br />

|desc=When all else fails ... uh, you can, too?<br />
<br />
After you punch the orange F with a virtual hand, a progress bar appears along with the words "Debugger loading." A blue line slowly begins filling a white box, while a timer underneath estimates that it will take 999,999,999 minutes. But in no more than the time it takes for you to roll your eyes it jumps to 99% complete, and the estimate jumps down to 2 seconds. Naturally, it takes a full minute for those "two seconds" to pass. Then the bar kicks into motion ... sliding ''backwards'' of all things. Eventually it does kick forward again, shooting to the end and then beyond the bounds of the white box, zipping somewhere far off screen.<br />
<br />
Moments later the whole mess is replaced by the image of some sort of futuristic pub--half Mos Eisley cantina and half Quark's, with a burble of wandering puppets and Ferengi in the background. Gee, wonder where the programmers got their inspiration? A vaguely familiar human bartender leans up against the counter and addresses you. "Welcome to The Progress Bar. Looks like you could use a nice tall glass of debugging. What's your order?"<br />
<br />
Confusing. The bartender looks at you expectantly. Apparently he's a quirky metaphor for the computer interface, and you're supposed to tell him what you want to do. Knowing the programmers, it probably only recognizes one word commands.<br />

"Uh, no," you reply. You say this not because honesty is the best policy, but because the best policy generally involves absolute denial of everything.<br />

|desc=When all else fails ... uh, you can, too?<br />
<br />
After you punch the orange F with a virtual hand, a progress bar appears along with the words "Debugger loading." A blue line slowly begins filling a white box, while a timer underneath estimates that it will take 999,999,999 minutes. But in no more than the time it takes for you to roll your eyes it jumps to 99% complete, and the estimate jumps down to 2 seconds. Naturally, it takes a full minute for those "two seconds" to pass. Then the bar kicks into motion ... sliding ''backwards'' of all things. Eventually it does kick forward again, shooting to the end and then beyond the bounds of the white box, zipping somewhere far off screen.<br />
<br />
Moments later the whole mess is replaced by the image of some sort of futuristic pub--half Mos Eisley cantina and half Quark's, with a burble of wandering puppets and Ferengi in the background. Gee, wonder where the programmers got their inspiration? A vaguely familiar human bartender leans up against the counter and addresses you. "Welcome to The Progress Bar. Looks like you could use a nice tall glass of debugging. What's your order?"<br />
<br />
Confusing. The bartender looks at you expectantly. Apparently he's a quirky metaphor for the computer interface, and you're supposed to tell him what you want to do. Knowing the programmers, it probably only recognizes one word commands.<br />

You look closely at those buttons. Do you want to cancel the cancel in order to continue, or okay the cancel to stop? Or are you canceling the first cancel, in which case okay continues, where canceling the canceled cancel really does cancel it? Argh!<br />
<br />
You solve the issue by closing your eyes and hitting a few keys at random, figuring whatever you get would be better{{typo}} from pure chance would be better than choosing it yourself.<br />

| eject, floppy || <code>Non-system disk or disk error</code><br />
<br />
<code>Replace and strike any key when ready</code><br />
<br />
Well, you'd replace the any key, but you can't even find it. There's no way you'll be able to strike it if you can't complete those first steps. Oh, wait, there's a floppy disk in the drive. Of course. You pull out the floppy, at which point the whole system crashes, and you climb out.<br />

| cd || <code>The operating system has found an unknown device and is installing a driver for it.</code><br />
<br />
Halfway through it asks you to insert a CD with the proper driver for the unknown device. You try CD after CD, but none of them seem to work. Eventually you can't even say CD or read the word CD without it seeming strange and imaginary. See-D? C-dee? Sea dea?<br />

If you can't find the drive path, how are you supposed to get to your home directory? (Presumably there's some trick involving having your pudding when you don't eat your meat.)<br />
<br />
{{getEffectC|Got Drive?|65}}<br />
|-<br />

Frustratingly, you can see the copy file sitting there in the window, but it won't let you save or do anything but quit. Shame.<br />

|desc=The Oxidizer was a contemporary Stone Man, back in the day, specializing in fighting high-tech villains by rusting all their equipment. When the villains started using non-ferrous and exotic alloys in their weapons, he designed a special off-hand parrying dagger to use. It's made from highly durable paladinium, and has numerous notches to catch enemy blades. Supposedly he could actually break swords with it, but simply turning them aside would probably suffice.<br />
<br />
It's called the Stainless Steelbreaker not because it could break stainless steel, but because paladinum is itself a non-oxidizing metal. As it would have to be, for the Oxidizer to make use of it!<br />
