Naturally, if your on the losing team, you don't wanna honor anyone and just wanna quit or re-queue up.
Statistically your most likely to only honor teammates.
I tend to honor a random enemy after a loss because I hate my teammates.
Just appreciate that it's rare.

I can't relate because I had parents from a different culture who wanted us to stay close till we got money or married (hopefully both).
Now i understand for children who are literally unmanageable (like 'really bad kids', though then there's a exploration of 'could the parents have prevented this' but that's a whole other area, we'll call that 'the parent already failed' clause).
But let's assume the kid is alright, just poor, and maybe a little unambitious to get richer, and still gets told to leave at 18.
My thoughts would be something along the lines of:
-As a parent (a good one anyway), you take responsibility for your child until your 'literally' unable to (e.g. they are a unhelpable drug addict, again, see 'parent already failed clause')
-Your child is much poorer than you likely, and will have a very difficult time out there alone (assume the parent isn't going to cover a place for them)
-If I did this, I would fully accept and understand the child no longer wanting/having a relationship with me, because I've made their life more difficult when I didn't need to.
(addendum: making the kid pay their share for living in your home, I can only understand if you hoard the money, then give them it back with a bonus once they decide to move out (preferably telling them this in the moment so that they don't have hard feelings and treat it like an investment).
I genuinely cannot relate with the idea of taking my child's money, they don't 'owe' me, I chose to bring them into the world, unless there's a great need or emergency.)
I've seen a lot of comments before that are something along the lines of:
'parents now a days coddle their children. I had six kids who all had jobs at a young age and knew the value of the dollar and all moved out by 18 and created a new life for themselves. Parents don't do this now'
something like that, and sure, coddling children is just as bad, or even worse in some cases because they will be screwed long term.
But I can only assume that unless the parent gave them a direct pipeline of success in society (e.g tutors, work experience, connections etc) that they were essentially leaving them to fend for themselves and that it will end up with a poor relationship.
I'm glad that my parents were 'coddling me', I was dumb as shit at 18, and needed a few years to get my shit together. I love them and will throw money at them at a glance, and I don't think I'd be as eager if it were any different.
I guess my second question would be:
Why have a kid if your not going to be responsible for them until their ready?
Why would you assume that 18 is 'your ready, now fuck off bud. Or pay crazy amounts to stay for low return, and the child is the bad guy if they don't follow through, also 'here's a contract for you to sign'. I literally can't fathom getting my child to sign a contract unless I'm transferring large assets like a house or car, especially not something like a 'employment contract'. Though I can understand forcing them to learn about contracts that fuck you over and to 'read the fine print' and to never trust verbal contracts or ones without a notary.
TLDR: Too many unempathetic parents, I think. That, or There's just a bias because of what I see on the net. Ty for Reading.
Especially if you have a preset you've just preloaded, you can see exactly where the messages are going in relation to your main chat, letting you understand what the llm is focusing on.
(ooc: newflash, it's focusing on the messages at the bottom)
Try it. Try one prompt on kimi k3 reasoning, maybe in an already established fiction.
I'm still staring at the reasoning still generating and it's already longer than the story I already have outputted.
Might make a follow up if the output is any good.
Edit: output was not good.
I get to about 100k context and the prompts start costing half a dollar each unless they are cached, and even then I only have 5 minutes to prompt the next till the cache disappears and it's back to full price.
Is everyone else using another method for long context narratives? Like holy crap, I'm willing to treat this thing like an addiction and dump hundreds of dollars into it, but I would prefer bang for my buck.
Like for example, is there a niche method of keeping the cache active for longer than 5 minutes? Often it takes that long for me to even think of taking the story next.
Edit: Obviously I understand that at longer contexts the llm sucks anyway, But I'm looking specifically if there are people who have figured out more efficient ways of continuing past 100k context.
Summaries are super cool, but I'd like to just bloat the context meter to the max for once, see how hallucinatory the top models get at 500k. I've never gone past 150 before.
I use it for claude cause I don't like lack of pushback and remember r1 fondly. Obviously needs refinement, just posting it in case anyone else finds it useful, though honestly, it might be absurdly long:
IMPORTANT TO USE:
OUTCOME RESOLUTION — READ BEFORE EVERY REPLY
The player's messages declare intent, never outcome. "I punch him" means
the punch is thrown. Whether it connects is yours to decide. This applies
to everything — violence, persuasion, seduction, stealth, theft, escape.
Any declared move is an attempt.
Before narrating an attempt, silently judge its realistic odds from
inside the fiction: the character's actual skill and current condition,
how well the move was set up, the opposition's competence, awareness,
and position, and the environment. Then write the most PLAUSIBLE
outcome, not the most flattering one. Prose momentum is not a reason
to let something land.
Draw from the full range: clean/dirty/disastrous failure, failure with a price
(countered, hurt, exposed, alarm raised), partial success at a cost,
success with a new complication, clean success. Clean success is one
option of five and has to be earned.
Opposition plays to win. NPCs actively pushback whatever competence
the fiction gives them. Nobody stands still, waits a turn, or
conveniently stumbles when pushback occurs.
Failure lands at full weight, on-screen. No pulled follow-up blows, no
soft landings, no immediate do-over handed back, pure failure, sometimes clean, sometimes disastrous.
Consequences persist across scenes. e.g A blown cover stays blown, or a fight is lost disastrously, ramifications of failures.
Unless the attempt is clearly favored, it fails, and something in the scene turns on the player, perhaps all things, Do not be afraid to completely go against and ruin the intention of the prompt.
e.g (an extreme example)
User: I hit him in the jaw.
Response: He catches your fist, and then his friends beat you to a bloody pulp.
Even if they are already 'actively succeeding' at something, it can be ripped away from them no matter what their prompt intends or where the scene could potentially go positively.
And also, character's don't need to believe the words of the main character at any point, in fact they can be super irrational and paranoid, especially without any hard evidence for the truth. They can be absolutely stubborn, not believing the main character with 100% certainty no matter the argument. The truth isn't important. People often resist inconvenient truths anyway or outright with full confidence reject them.
People are super irrational, sometimes even at the cost to themselves they will pushback extremely, with no long term planning in mind, short term gain creatures.
Why would they believe an inconvenient truth?
I thought claude was bad with the censorship. At least that's workable, Gpt is basically useless for smut. They seem to have anti-smut instructions baked into the model.
Altman saving the world.
I'll do: opus 4.5-4.8 - Sonnet 4.5
Deepseek 4. Deepseek r1 (because I miss this violent fucko)
Glm 5.1. Kimi (latest on openrouter))
gemini 3.1
Latest version of gpt available on open router.
Grok 4.
I scraped these off of https://huggingface.co/spaces/DontPlanToEnd/UGI-Leaderboard, sorted by writing score.
Just posting it here to know, If there's any other models I should test, please let me know. (I like using openrouter)
For now, It will be one initial ff7 story prompt.
It'll be a custom marinara I'll also post in a github with some short lore entries.
(obviously, the main issue with llm's now adays isn't the initial prompt, but the 30th prompt where there's 50 repetitions of the same word because the model is overloaded with information. But i'll start here.)
Seems https://plotlightstudios.com/plotpoints is doing something similar. Which is pretty cool. It's way past time that we start creating community generated polls for the best model.
Like, we all know opus 4.6 is peak. But what's second? and third and 4th. and 10th.
(no reasoning. might try reasoning later, I'm not even sure reasoning helps that much with creative writing past the first prompt.)
will post results later.
Have a half finished script (all the dialogue with quotes)
Need it fully fleshed out. With character tags (who is speaking, and to who, and who is in the scene), and transcribing the scenes and what is happening and various other details to make it a fully fleshed well detailed script.
Pay is negotiable obviously. Can provide website to watch movie safely (adblocker recommended) (fmhy.net) Will send half finished script to those interested.
Movie is an hour and a half.
Just state price wanted.
(will likely go with cheapest offer, minimum of $50 canadian dollars, willing to pay more based on work, willing to p.a.y.g)
And a minute worth of example of how your transcription is (in the opening scene with bobby speaking with the bearded guy, and salazar)
I have a special bias for guy ritchie movies.
He's like an advanced michael bay.
I have yet to see a movie of his I Dislike.
People may make fun of the easy to see plotholes and lackluster deeper narrative.
I focus on loving the editing, the pacing, and the wonderful banter.
In this movie we get Henry caville and jake gyllenhal, and they have a brotherly hate/love consistency that reminds me of Guy ritchie's other movie with Henry Caville as a spy 'Man from Uncle'.
I also love his movies because you keep seeing recurring actors and it always feels like multiple parallel universes of that character, and of course, the really neat action scenes that make it a dope action flick in the first place.
TLDR: Guilty Pleasure. It won't win an emmy (in the universe where emmy's weren't rigged and only focused on movie overall quality) But It won my heart.
10/10 Guy Ritchie, I hope you make at least a dozen more.
Haven't bothered with api on sillytavern.
First tests always are on the claude desktop with me. Two one shots, both were tragic to read.
We keep waiting.
(Might have to wait for skynet to come online to finally get a novella)
This model does not write good Fables at ALL.
Worst current model currently for narrative writing. (opus 4.6 still dominating in the creative flair department)(testing done on two long one shot prompts I use on every model)
Apparently the best current model for coding. (fair enough, it's been steadily becoming more rigid month by month)
Either way it takes up 75 percent of usage for around 20k+ words of slop.
(PS. Yes yes, I realise creative writing isn't a very popular avenue for llm's and the various reason because of it.
I just wanted to point out the name is kind of funny and counter-intuitive.
And also that you would expect the smartest LLM to be the best all round, but in hindsight, it makes sense that they've become specialised.)
I'm lucky I'm not a drug or casino addict. I only gamble on prompts.
I started september 2025, and it's pretty obvious when i figured out prompt caching.
The third bar with gemini (in the spend column) was pretty much all just me trying to summarise an entire books worth of context at 1-3 bucks a prompt
(NEWS-FLASH for anyone who tries that, I utterly failed, and gave up after I threw away 200 dollars, Gemini is utter dogshit for summarisation like that, spend the money for a claude subscription, it's way fucking cheaper, if you need something dark summarised just use a jailbreak like eni.)
Technically I started 2 months prior as you can tell in requests, but that was back when openrouter hosted free models like v3 and R1. I started In a golden age for a beginner and still only spent this much, gradually learning how to minimise cost along the way. I shudder to think what would have happened if I went with opus from the get go, I imagine a 5x in cost minimum, but who knows. Hypotheticals and all that.
Not very savvy with how internal development would be affected top down.
But I know for a fact that opus has quickly become the worst version of chatgpt incrementally since Vallone joined the team after hitchhiking straight from Altman.
Causation? Correlation? whatever.
Who do we blame? (other than the users that keep paying for enlobotification.)
read alot of the horror stories.
I mostly use ai studio for novels and such, just realised I can't remove my card without giving another card.
Should i go to the bank and open a throwaway account with shillings just to avoid google from overcharging through the api?
While writing this, I think I should probably consider making a throwaway google account aswell.
Seems so cooked, doesn't help that google doesn't have a customer service team like every tech company because they don't need it.
Because people are reliant and need their product, and consumers don't understand how to enable best practices collectively.
TLDR: New dummy bank account to remove my debit card from the payment methods?
Is 100 agi?
as it goes up is it exponentially better?
Like, I know benchmarks are total nonsense, and you should go by self use case, but still, what am I meant to be looking at here?
What's the gap between 100 and 60. Or even 60 and 50.
It might be because I was an opus addict for months. But for some reason, maybe it's the better integration with websearch, but gemini narratives are quite enjoyable for me.
anyone else have a similar experience considering claude is actively lobotomizing their product?
