Chapter Eight 2.0, Customization Snippet
🕑 Added 2022-06-23 21:54:18 +0000 UTCI'm code-running Chapters 8 & 9 right now (and adding a million more edits as I do so, because I CAN'T STOP), but fingers crossed that I can get it all fixed today! It's taken longer than anticipated to comb through the new edits for bugs, as I added a lot of additional reactivity within various dialogues--many of which ended up being coded incorrectly due to Microsoft Word's Autoformat function (I have since learned to turn off the automatic tabbing).
I know not everyone code dives, but I wanted to give you guys a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how a lot of the new dialogues shift depending on Button's stats and relationships. (Fine. I mostly wanted to show off the superhero names that Nick came up with and ask if anyone has a better suggestion for Confident Buttons other than "Surety.")
Apologies for the wonky formatting! I tried to simplify the code to make it easier to read.
EDIT: I'm going to make a poll with all the new suggested facenames for Confident Button and let you guys vote on the winner, as I get the impression that I'm going to have trouble deciding independently due to all the great suggestions.

${Kim} ignores him. “If Vengeance believes you and Zarneki already share a relationship, then they’ll be easier to convince that you planned the bombing together.”
Selectable Choice: I don’t get to choose my own codename? Boo.
I have a few suggestions on that front! Nick thinks.
*if (Nick > 130)
Option one: Kid Justice.
*elseif (Nick > 100)
Option one: Harmony. I’ve always said that the Ideals needed a member called Harmony.
*elseif (Nick > 70)
Option one: Zero. Just Zero. Out of context, it sounds badass.
*else
Option one: Soulsucker. I mean, it’s basically what you’ve done to my mind.
Then again, Hemera works. For now, at least.
*if (Effort > 20)
Option two: Lucky. It’s ironic, get it?
*elseif (morbidity > 40)
Option two: Doomsday.
*elseif (confidence > 40)
Option two: Surety. That’s a quality I admire about you, you know.
*else
Option two: Wisecracker.
You can grant yourself a cooler callsign later.
Option three: The Buttonator.
. . . A callsign of your own choosing.

Suggestion: Valiant? Out of curiosity: What does Nick call a “Button” who goes by “Boo-boo” instead? Boo-boonator? Scooby-Boo?

Null. Together with Nox we shall be "Null and Void". Coming to your local TV station this fall (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

Omg...The buttonator. Nick's thoughts that only button hears are just *chef's kiss*

Ooh, I like that!
Maybe for another code name for the self confident one you could use Dauntless?
