Roster files

Which to use first.

This list is the order. The download is not. On Compare, the zip contains only the Loopers in the matrix, three at most.

Start here

1
#402. Risk stack nets to 0. Two traits are −1 and two are +1. Record before anyone else talks.
2
#2974. Same class, and the only one that waits. Tape Mouth holds autonomy at 6.
3
#3916. The other risk 5. A fixer that can also connect. Cleanup after the record, not before it.
4
#403. Disciplined debugger. Wire what #3916 found. No single layer spikes the risk.
5
#6484. Disciplined trader. A memo only after #402 has the sources. Not #4045.
6
#443. Disciplined diplomat. The intro comes last, and only from the record.

#2438. A second disciplined debugger. Overlaps #403.
#5019. Disciplined fixer and builder. Use after #3916.
#445. Diplomat and archivist in one file. Overlaps #402 and #443.
#3074. Operator, aggressive 7, not clipped. Sequences. Does not sign.
#444. Diplomat and seer, aggressive 8. A signal, not a price.
#6251. Risk is 8, not clipped. Autonomy would have been 12 and is stored as 10. The overlay is +2 risk.

#4045. Raw risk 12, stored as 10. Neon Oil Flood is +3 by itself. Do not route capital.
#3939. Raw risk 11, stored as 10. A debugger holding a Magic 8 Ball, which is +2 risk.
#3517. Raw risk 11, stored as 10. Field triage only. No key.
#406. Exactly 10, from Lava and the overlay at +2 each. A −1 did not save it. The artifact is a Multipass card.
#6811. Fixer class, market-making specialization, risk 9. The tactical harness is +2. Do not let it price.

The cap clips. #406 is exactly 10. #3939 and #3517 are 11 stored as 10. #4045 is 12 stored as 10. The brief number is the same. The atom list is not.
A minus can cancel, or fail to. #402 has two −1 traits and lands on 5. #406 also has a −1, and Lava plus the overlay still land on 10.
One layer can do the work of several. +2 and +3 showed up on an overlay, a skin, a harness, a crown, and a Magic 8 Ball. Eyewear and foreground scraps added 0 risk on all 17.

The strongest hold in this set is a pair, not a maxed dial. #402 writes the record. #443 makes the intro. #445 is the only single file here that carries both classes, and its missions stay the diplomat three.
The primary class owns the mission list. A secondary does not add a second list. Specialization can disagree with the class. #6811 is a fixer whose specialization says market making.
Empty hands are not a zero. Held Object "None" is +1 autonomy on all 17. Eyewear and foreground scraps moved neither dial.
These notes cover the 17 files that were read first. They are not a ranking of all 7,777.
