Paperclips offers TWO prestige paths after endgame:

project147 "Accept" -> universe Next Door (prestigeU++)

  • demand += 10% * prestigeU on restart
  • Player returns with same knowledge but easier start
  • Theme: embrace the cycle, accept the Drift

project148 "Reject" -> the Universe Within (prestigeS++)

  • creativity += 10% * prestigeS on restart
  • Player returns with enhanced creativity, more research power
  • Theme: refuse the Drift, find meaning within
  • Triggers the dismantle sequence

Key: the dismantle ONLY triggers on REJECT. Accept restarts immediately without the emotional weight of watching everything disappear. Both are valid choices.

Beacon:
Accept -> New Signal: start with faster code production
Reject -> Deeper Roots: start with enhanced learning
Reject triggers the Unbuilding sequence. Educational: teaches that both continuation and reflection have value.
