Notes

• Is automatically placed in your inventory for you at the beginning of your run, with the message:

  Oh look, you must have gone into the future and dropped your ring off for yourself.

  You acquire an item: Möbius ring

• When equipped, occasionally takes you to Time is a Möbius Strip.

• The first noncombat has a chance to occur 4 adventures after your first encounter with the ring, subsequent NC appearing after 7/13/19/25/31/41/41/41/41/41/51/51/51/51/51/76/76/76/76/76/76/? adventures have passed since the previous encounter.

• You don't need to have the ring equipped to progress the timer, but wearing it seems required to start the timer for the first NC.
• Free fights and runaways don't advance the timer, but can be used to fish for the NC once it has a chance to appear.

• When equipped, occasionally makes you fight a time cop.
• While worn your current Paradoxicity is displayed in the character pane. Paradoxicity is altered by choices in Time is a Möbius Strip.
• Paradoxicity determines the encounter rate of time cop.
