What's up, RMers?

[MechanicalPen]

I've been trying to write a script that upon multiple applications of a state applies a stronger state (which is a mouthful so I just call it "tiered states".) Now, the first draft of my script works as intended except it doesn't damage pop "Miss" like default XP states do when you try to apply one that is already applied.

Is a script that works "good enough", good enough?
