[minor orchid]

I believe in you Quinn, you can overcome this!

Lucy believes in you too :>

[balmy obsidian]

I missed one but that was on purpose to give accuracy to Quil

[hearty whale]

I would have Rivalry 3 reaction-fired that turn but that particular cataphract would have overstressed me if I attacked it

[noble ivy]

don't forget to spoil mark that
-# also, goddamn Leo... you are one scary chumbawumba pilot

[hearty whale]

Not sure I can post-uploading?

[balmy obsidian]

Quil and Léo is a very scary tag team

[robust plank]

100k :joyous:

[hearty whale]

Very little spoilers beyond there is a possibility of a fight against an|| SSC team ||at some point in the entire campaign

[noble ivy]

fair enough

[hearty whale]

Point taken though

[west phoenix]

i mean... i certainly wasn't expecting that lol

[hearty whale]

Now if I'd said that while this was happening (Act 2)||the two clone Harry Bordeauxs combat was hurling railgun and superheavy missiles at the fight, and Leo used the WACP to shove nearly everyone inside missile impact zone forcing the GM to scramble|| then that'd be spoilers

[steady adder]

i think i experienced the Golden Unraveler Moment last session, which i am kind of not expecting to happen again

hold on, i have a whole ass idea

[balmy obsidian]

Find the color of intrigue and throw that whole paint bucket my way

[steady adder]

...System Crusher doesn't state that target needs to be hostile?

[balmy obsidian]

does not

[hearty whale]

Where are you going with this...

[balmy obsidian]

I think gray wants nuccav fuel

[balmy obsidian]

but i'd be spending one invade to do a total of 2 heat since neither the base invade heat or ESU applies

unless i'm rolling to attack but that means it's liable to miss

[west phoenix]

the enemy witch watching in horror, realizing that it just feeds heat to the nuke cav pilot

[hearty whale]

Just cook yourself haha
is constantly "It's fiiine"-ing worries when my protocols add more heat every turn

[west phoenix]

my nuke cav player got hit with abjure and he straight up said "oh cool, i'm gonna kill you with the extra damage" and then he did

Send me your energy

[willow needle]

I just went to my first adhd therapy session

The guy explained very well that my previous diagnosis is really outdated and gave me some tools to deal with hyperfocus and was very nice overall

(the diagnosis that said I can't be autistic bc I'm not male or a minor)

[ancient crag]

https://tenor.com/view/xd-gif-10125188147104968258

[west phoenix]

I'm sorry what

[willow needle]

Yes that happened

[west phoenix]

That ain't how that works

[willow needle]

I'm totally fine if I'm the end I'm not ASD cuz idk maybe symptoms come from another thing or something like that.

But wtf you mean I can't be cuz I'm not male or a minor what what what

But this new guy told me that's outdated from something-4 that has biases from studies only done to men and since like 10 years ago people use something-5 which is like more modern medicine etc

[west phoenix]

Literally the "I'm neurodivergent and a minor" meme

[clever cloud]

dsm 5 is 12 years old and still outdated

using dsm 4 should get your license removed

[limber fossil]

should have told them you play lancer smh (that sucks, hope you can get all that nonsense sorted out)

[west phoenix]

Forcing everyone in the world to play lancer

Fun fact i fucking hated lancer at first lmao

First one shot i played a ghengis and had a great time because people told me to shoot my flamethrower at things and had the great line "is 27 burn a lot?", second i played a chomo and everest (a player was missing) and it was fine? Third i played a swallowtail and was not having a good time lol

[willow needle]

Basically my old diagnosis is under dsm 4, they said I had ADD without the H and no ASD cuz I'm not male nor minor, among other things

This new adhd therapist seem super chill and explains everything very well and clear so I'm excited thinking that maybe now I can finally be in the path of getting better mentally :)

[willow needle]

Tbh when I first heard about lancer was about IGF and I wasn't super sold on the idea bc it seemed like some extreme survival campaign with no room for role-playing LMAO and also when I asked if I could be an egr dm said no

[steady adder]

swallowtail doesn't have that instant effect on the battlefield the way that chomo or genghis have in crowdcontrol and damage respectively so i can kinda see why

[supple carbon]

Yeah the dms 4 is old old

[clever cloud]

there's a ton of other reasons :^) it was a bad time in general

[thorn hinge]

DSM-4 is when they defined it as adhd-inattentive. ADD (without hyperactivity) is a DSM-3 diagnosis. It's also what I was diagnosed with.

Glad your new therapist seems to be working out well! Hope that helps a lot.

A good therapist can make a world of difference. So can a bad one but in the wrong direction...

[supple carbon]

Man that's very old

They don't even teach dms 3 anymore where im studying, only a few vestiges of dms 4

[clever cloud]

DSM-3 was published in 1980

[willow needle]

what...

[clever cloud]

that dude was a damn fossil

[willow needle]

im so confused omg, no wonder this new therapist actually laughed when he read that in my diagnosis

saying "yeah like we dont do this anymore.."

[thorn hinge]

technically I was diagnosed under DSM-3-R (1987) sometime in 1992 or so. DSM-4 was published in 1994.

[clever cloud]

DSM-3 was published when people still used transparent projector slides

[willow needle]

omg the diagnosis im talking about was from last year where the hell did i even go

[thorn hinge]

They were using those when I was in high school...

[clever cloud]

Ada.. ada im sorry

[supple carbon]

Old person

[thorn hinge]

WAIT, LAST YEAR??

Holy shit

Yes yes I'm old

[clever cloud]

age is cool actuallu

[thorn hinge]

Damn straight it is

[willow needle]

yeah this diagnosis of ADD and autism is from july 2024. i got so pissed of losing 300€ to do that test (that lasted 1 hour in a written exam) that i took a rest from seeking therapy until now

this new therapist told me that thats not how you make a diagnosis test... IDK MAN

i guess i got super scammed

[thorn hinge]

....what the fuck

The only way a written test can determine if you have ADHD is if they measure your cortosol levels spiking from having to do a test

[clever cloud]

none of that is your fault, nana. It wasn't a scam, it was borderline medical malpractice

[thorn hinge]

And maybe measure how fast your legs are bouncing

[clever cloud]

my hyperspeed leg bounce

[noble ivy]

-# wait... was ADD still in DMS-4? I was diagnosed with ADD when I was a little kid...

[thorn hinge]

dms4 is when it became adhd

Note, clinicians often run far behind the dsm

but using dsm3 in 2024 is bullshit

[willow needle]

-# i actually tried to go to a neurologist to ask if i could get some test for adhd or whatever cuz i saw online that you can measure the alpha and beta waves (?) in the brain to detect some symptoms. and the neurologist screamed at me that that doesnt exist, quote "thats science fiction"

-# i dont know anymore.........

[thorn hinge]

...rude

[clever cloud]

maaan

[willow needle]

[thorn hinge]

It's be better to say that 'yes you can see that, but the vrainwaves aren't enough for diagnosis'

it's a correlation and not a particularly strong one

[clever cloud]

Hey, nana. Getting tested for adhd sucks fucking balls, as you've noted. It works best on an informed consent basis where you try the damn drugs and see if it helps. But god damn if doctors hate doing that

[willow needle]

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7477352/

mostly referring to this

[thorn hinge]

I'll brb, gotta drive into work so I can keep doing what I'm doing now, but in a gray cube surrounded by covid carriers

[willow needle]

yeah sadly i found people are shy to even mention medication for adhd so..

as in, doctors

mostly what i want is to find someone that finally helps and doesnt throw weird assumptions (my last therapist, the ony of the diagnosis, told me to "stop procrastinating" while i was telling that that sometimes i work so much that i forget to eat, sleep and go to the bathroom lol). if im getting medication i want to at least have the tools to help myself even without them, so that the treatment can be more effective i guess.

but apparently thats too much to ask for. maybe with this new therapist im finally lucky.

[clever cloud]

in my own opinion, i find doctors really really dislike medicating for it, as if it were a mega overdiagnosed issue and they're trying to single-handedly regulate this "epidemic"

there's a weird cognitive test in the US - it's similar to an IQ test - that is required to get diagnosed with adhd, at least in Ohio. I fairly consistently ranked high on inattentive adhd and at the end of it, i was still disregarded

[willow needle]

my last therapist said "but its very addictive... you really wanna be a drug addict?" like lady wtf. everytime a doctor said "This med is addictive" i end up forgetting to take it all the time and have to remind myself, so if im in a proper follow up and treatment planning, whats the huge worry lol.

[clever cloud]

christ almighty absolutely no understanding of adhd

[willow needle]

oh yeah! in my diagnosis exam i noticed there was an IQ test

[noble ivy]

-# sorry if this is oversharing ||my parents were like that... they threw a bunch of different homeschooling styles at me instead of trying any medication||

[clever cloud]

yaaay

that sounds mega awful

my issue is that i completely shut down when faced with stressors. im a very smart gal and have tons of problem solving skills, but when exactly one problem is too much to fix in 2 hrs, I fucking crumble

[willow needle]

haha-- yeah, my mom is the typical of "my daughter is normal and alright she is not mentally ill" like please my brain just works weird, im wired to be a patient hunter that gets huge satisfaction when finally getting a kill, i am not build for capitalism, please help.

i just honestly think im a huge idiot in terms of intelligence

i like 3 things and i feel useless in either

[cobalt zealot]

That's. Oh man.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

[clever cloud]

Haha

point and sympathize

to be fair, shutting down in the face of stressors could be maaaany things

like, a ton

it's sorta just a trait of avoidance

[cobalt zealot]

Oh no I have audhd

Like

[clever cloud]

aw fuck

[cobalt zealot]

Almost certainly

[clever cloud]

point and sympathize, chat

[cobalt zealot]

I definitely have autism and got diagnosed with it a couple of months ago

The ADHD is basically certain as well because I have no internal motivation and my attention span is miniscule

[noble ivy]

are you referring to my thing? If so: ||It wasn't too bad... it prepared me for college level studying way more than I expected.|| I could go more into it but I'm not sure if I okay to do a "Juli lore dump" all of a sudden...

[west phoenix]

Turns out i like playing the game so i don't like the swallowtail

And yeah, igf was my first campaign and i didn't know the lancer setting at all lol

[balmy obsidian]

That got a wheeze out of me

[barren aurora]

thanks lass gonna see if my players want to try it out

[polar glacier]

It takes a bit more work in setup but the results can be stunning

I suggest terrain height tools as another module to go with.

[balmy obsidian]

Terrain height tools my beloved

[polar glacier]

And if you're playing IGF, all my maps are up in the drive link in the pinned comment here. I get a bit goofy with it though lmao. I made a map in fallout 2, two maps in rollercoaster tycoon, a map in dwarf fortress... most often I'm combining bits of starcraft 1 with Shadowrun: Returns.

Oh, and if you want to make iso maps, you gotta checkout Starlight Furnace on itch, they have a ton of assets meant for lancer including a No Room for a Wallflower pack.

[barren aurora]

ive been using maps ive yoinked from the pinned resources

i think made in uhh

ink brush or something like that

i forget

theyve been working fine n look nice but isometric seems cooler so im reconsidering

[polar glacier]

o7 have fun. I enjoy it far too much.

[polar glacier]

Oh, and if you're running... (spoilers ch4) ||If you're near chapter 4 at all that could be a great time to jump to isometric, suddenly shifting perspectives in the middle of the paracausal mine. I did something similar but in reverse, instead of reusing the map for the first two combats, I started in isometric (which I used the whole campaign), and then for The Swarm I remade the map in low resolution top down square grid just to throw the players for a loop. ||

[barren aurora]

not possible im afraid

we've been playing since uhh

january

they just ch2 spoilers ||killed sunbird in chapter2||

||I ran ??? on square grid instead of hex after running lancer exclusively on hex for nearly 2 years||

oof. But then again, that just means a lot more time playing igf.

Step 1: ???
Step 2: Change gender

Like that?

Ok soo... Quick question on a tangent

[polar glacier]

yes, about three decades of ??? first

I don't recommend it

[tame tide]

Valid

[polar glacier]

ye?

[tame tide]

Are there a bunch of people with Nitro who aren't in shared servers but just save the same emotes and use them for the same scenarios?

Most notably Joyous and Draculul?

[west phoenix]

I found out i was trans when i was like, 12. Except i wished i was born a woman and that hasn't really changed

[balmy obsidian]

Yes

[west phoenix]

Yeah

[tame tide]

Aight

[balmy obsidian]

that's why we have so many copies of joyous

everyone got their own

[tame tide]

WHy not just make a server with like, 50 Joyous's

[polar glacier]

Some of them might have?

[balmy obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/mark-cuban-shark-tank-notes-taking-notes-remember-gif-15073512

[noble ivy]

because having a single joyous in 50 servers is funnier?

[polar glacier]

but also oh gods no you're giving them ideas the joyousposting is going to get out of hand

[tame tide]

I would say just ban them but like... This channel is a public discord in which no mods reside

[west phoenix]

Once we create the joyous union y'all are done for

[noble ivy]

Its gotten way out of hand.

[west phoenix]

Says one of the main reasons it's gotten out of hand lmao

[noble ivy]

[tame tide]

Also am I allowed another tangent lmao

[noble ivy]

of course

[west phoenix]

Never

[tame tide]

Ok

Meow said no

[west phoenix]

We must speak only of important IGF details

[balmy obsidian]

Al all we do is go on tangents

You may

[tame tide]

Vote declares above 50%, I shall continue

[balmy obsidian]

As the holder of message 90k and 100k I allow you a tangent

[west phoenix]

Like for example, what tangent is al going to go off on ( in igf) (in minecraft)

[tame tide]

So when making maps there's the uncanny valley middle point for the map, where it doesn't look like sketches but it doesn't look like a finished product

And the current one I really want to do because it's a goated combat

For some reason that valley is real low and I can't get it out...

GGuh

[west phoenix]

Simply bash your head against it until it finally makes sense /j

[tame tide]

As the professionals say

[polar glacier]

Do you have an idea of where to go from here and just have trouble seeing the valley sketch as worth continuing? Are you in the valley and not sure what the final project should look like? Try and figure out the core of what's holding you back.

||Where are your control points? teal? I assume red is cover/height and green is walls. I love the smoke effect at the entrance to the stage. Overall the setup is looking really good, if anythign I think you could shorten the stage a little, maybe even reduce it's girth and still have a good effect. That said, one must imagine SSC sends monarchs and white witches on that same platform, so the size is actualyl narratively correct!|| I think you're on the right track and just need to keep with the rendering process.

anyway I missed two whole sessions because I had nothing for my most recent map. 10 days before I finally ran, all I had was this: (not even context to be a spoiler I think)

[west phoenix]

Man there's gonna be a point where i can't use maps from others in Wallflower... I think I'm just gonna cry

[shell bison]

Also, the song I was talking about for when I get to that moment in ch5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHa90HH5GT4

The day I was supposed to finally run it was upgraded to this: (okay maybe enough detail to realize what this is but trust me it looks like ass, just more refined.) (so. spoilers for act2: ||Impact Plaza arc||)

[tame tide]

I should make that map

I dunno if it would be harder or easier than my current one

[polar glacier]

delayed one week and got this
%100 SPOILERS FOR ACT 2 ||ID ARC||

[tame tide]

Ok so that map is sick

[polar glacier]

I think your current one is on the right track and you just need to forge on ahead. But also I'm way too familiar with that pit you're in and I can't really say I have any good way to get out of it :<

[tame tide]

||But even in Iso I have no clue how I'd run it||

[tame tide]

Fortunately, keep going at it has worked for me atleast 30 times already

Unfortunately, keep going at it can be hard

[west phoenix]

Being creative is hard and sucks actually

Just don't make anything ever

[tame tide]

Norr

[polar glacier]

It was hard lmao. Especially when someone blew a hole int he floor and made a whole new way to get between levels. It was me. I blew the hole in the floor. I had to, it was an opportunity to hit Howl for 40 damage I couldn't pass that up.

I'm still writing up a recap but the fight was... intense. I was worried the map was way too big but no, turns out the Firewatch SRT is more terrifying than ever. They cleared the board in two turns.

[tame tide]

😩

hmmm

[west phoenix]

I'm at work so can't listen

[tame tide]

So I somewhat fixed the valley :>

I just rotated the map 90 in terms of where the spawns are

And it makes it feel much more cohesive in my minnd

Oh, no, I meant I'm sorry to leo. I don't apologize to you at all.

[noble ivy]

-# takes note: refusing to apologize = flirting(???)

[balmy obsidian]

-# I know I'm confused as well

[polar glacier]

could be. depends on the intent and follow through

For instance, if I continue to say "Everything I do to you, Meow, I intend to do"

[balmy obsidian]

-# Man, flirting is complex

[noble ivy]

-# Honestly, just talking to people is too complex...

[balmy obsidian]

-# I know right

[cobalt zealot]

Yeah but you kinda just do it

Because what else are you gonna do

Not talk to them?

[balmy obsidian]

Yes

I am hereby taking a vow of silence

[noble ivy]

[cobalt zealot]

Deprive yourself of the milk of human kindness and the solidarity of interaction?

I'm with you

Too much damn time, people be waking up early to do their makeup

I'm already too lazy to do nail polish regularly there's no way i'm spending extra time in front of a mirror putting those fuckers in place

Like nah bitch, i wake up and ball (get ready in 10 minutes)

[noble ivy]

-# weirdly enough, I would get super dysphoric whenever i tried makeup

[polar glacier]

okay, but you'll have to wait till I get home I don't have any of my stuff at work

[hybrid salmon]

I’m sure there’s a good way to do makeup tactically but I don’t know what it is

[balmy obsidian]

In a military base

Camo is just tactical makeup

[hybrid salmon]

Mostly I’ve been “I applied makeup and, assuming it isn’t a mess, it feels about the same as average but with makeup”

[west phoenix]

Yeah, but that's kind of a constant. I feel at my best when I'm like an annoying big sis tomboy type

I'm just an enby cat
Gender: cat

I honestly don't know if I'd say I'm even she/they anymore

[polar glacier]

try limiting it to one element. Just some lipstick can be nice. I often just do eyeliner, or eyeliner and mascara. It's pretty rare for me to go all out with the primer, foundation, blush and so on.

part of the taste is definitely the fact that it's yogurt, but it's just so damn creamy

How is slinger damage output?

Are they like half controller half striker

Also they feel like they would scale weird with them getting more crits at higher levels

Slingers are much more a reactive controller style enemy. They do not do a lot of damage but they can do a lot of AP shots if they are in the thick of combat between players

"Bravery died with the invention of the bow and arrow"

more picmix lesgoooo!

[silver pumice]

picmixes are so fun to make

[balmy obsidian]

It tastes like 2000-2010 internet, it's great

[limber fossil]

"brave_?_ no, honey, I'm the biggest coward this side of the stratosphere. What I am, though, is confident. I'm in about 4 tons of durasteel powered by a chunk of star that just won't die, armed with a variety of equipment so painful there are cultures out there venerating me as a god. I'm a cowardly piece of shit, but this mech sure ain't."

[balmy obsidian]

Excuse me, I have the biggest actual coward in my roster

[supple carbon]

Probably yeah, Evan is a coward but he is also spineless, so if you tell him to do something he will

Now, Leo, tell me about your coward

[balmy obsidian]

Well he's from a core world, never saw actual conflict before getting to calliope, vanishes out of sight if you threaten him with violence, will avoid conflict any chance he gets, will refuse to kill people even in a life or death situation

[minor orchid]

Coward Convention

[balmy obsidian]

Hides in a hacker frame so he doesn't have to actually fight and just turns everyone off

[minor orchid]

what a turn off /pun intended

Also in less exciting news, whole campaign spoilers, especially my stupids: ||one week more till the feather fragment appears||

[last leaf]

oh no...

he's a c*ntrist

[shell bison]

bruh

[supple carbon]

Being a coward and being from a core world go hand in hand it seems damn

[west phoenix]

Coward off and our 3 characters

Who would win

[last leaf]

speak for yourself

[shell bison]

You weren't built for these long rim streets cuz

[minor orchid]

the rim doesn't fit you

[dire cloud]

[cobalt zealot]

Cel I think is the opposite of this

[dire cloud]

Gay morning everyone!

[cobalt zealot]

Where she's far too quick to resort to killing someone

[shell bison]

It took two party members to get in her way to stop that

[west phoenix]

Coughing baby vs Cel

[shell bison]

Ana had her gun at the ready and Eruca was in the way confused as fuq

[cobalt zealot]

Legit the first question she's gonna ask Jerry is "so do you want them on station or should we just vent them out the airlock?"

[shell bison]

Jerry, wiping his brow in a cold sweat "Oh fuck...oh jeez."

[west phoenix]

Space em, John

How dare you
He was downright offended when he learned that people can just buy their way into being a the leader of a company, especially if they're shitty people
(Points at Steele vehemently)

[supple carbon]

Wealthy guy outraged at the concept of capitalism /j

[balmy obsidian]

What wealth he had no money

[supple carbon]

Damn

[balmy obsidian]

Sure he has a mech but at this point who doesn't have a mech in calliope

[last leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/hannibal-buress-right-booing-gif-13861878

[west phoenix]

No money, no bitches, no family, in the middle of Calliope

But to follow up on that funny enough Serenity is essentially a rich white girl without the rich. Her family lost their money when fleeing to Calliope but kept the pompous part xD

[cobalt zealot]

Who is Daisy

[clever cloud]

a technophile NHP dog in our party

being so young and also exposed to so much violence in a mech, she views the world as nothing more than a scoreboard. A dead pirate is a +1 and no further consideration is made.

At least that's how she started

This hot topic sparkle dog is gonna commit war crimes in the name of glitter

[west phoenix]

She's getting better, auntie Serenity is so proud 🥹

And her mom is slowly becoming normal™️

[clever cloud]

now auntie serenity is the apathetic killer amirite :^))

[west phoenix]

Literally didn't kill anyone

And opposed the dude who did

Glory Lu spoke and Serenity listened to her queen

Glory Lu is a random Asphodel outlander who nearly got blown up and STILL opposed killing the pirates lol

[clever cloud]

i think that's verging close to spoilers

[shell bison]

daisy is the pitbull class comp/con that can't help but maul nhp toddlers

[cobalt zealot]

[ancient crag]

Not Daisy!!!!!!

[hybrid salmon]

The Daisy Cutter was made for her.

[balmy obsidian]

Daisy Cutter?

I-

[cobalt zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/cursed-emoji-gun-gif-18037063

[hybrid salmon]

hardly know her?
(why did my mind go there?)

[balmy obsidian]

Good

[hybrid salmon]

I just woke up

[noble ivy]

-# The meow brain rot is spreading…

[balmy obsidian]

Inside you there are two wolves
One is making "Hardly know her" jokes
One is joyousposting
You are on the IGF thread

[west phoenix]

I am both wolves

[west phoenix]

Me when people live on Asphodel 🤯

Me when there's like 16 different pirate factions in the setting 🤯

[clever cloud]

holy shit???

[clever cloud]

all of them are dating Calamity

[west phoenix]

Howl and Calamity power couple

[balmy obsidian]

❌

[west phoenix]

Why are you booing me I'm right

[balmy obsidian]

You will find no wolf inside of me that dates Calamity

[west phoenix]

Howl is the wolf

She is inside you

[balmy obsidian]

You will find no Howl inside of me

[ancient crag]

wild

[noble ivy]

-# I've been holding back a "throw me to the wolves" joke this entire time and then you just say this!!?!

[cobalt zealot]

"Throw me to Howl and I'll come back" etc

[west phoenix]

Come back what, Dragonfruit

I need you to elaborate

[noble ivy]

I don't think she does

[balmy obsidian]

Liars all of you

For all of you it would be "Throw me to Howl and I won't come back"

[west phoenix]

We'd ride off into the sunset together

[cobalt zealot]

Elaborate on what

[shell bison]

Good heavens

[plain urchin]

I did and no one said anything
Probably because it’s a third party

Also to me it makes sense to discuss it here as well

Is there some sort of standard or rule suggesting otherwise?

[limber fossil]

? I'm p sure there's a thread for IGF in GM Corner; i believe it's been mentioned here before

[limber fossil]

i was just warning in case it might bring up spoilery content

[plain urchin]

Ah

SecComm Army girls? I have bad news.

current combat session is going well

[west phoenix]

I prefer lesbian architecture

[west phoenix]

Is this ||the pit of despair and sorrow||

[midnight forge]

||He got BCL'd off the bridge and, after climbing all the way back up, our caliban rocked up and rammed him off again. ||

[west phoenix]

||i also teleported someone down there lmao||

[midnight forge]

||this is the canyon for the abuction-saving beat on the way out from Furnace City ||

I can't remember the beat number

[polar glacier]

||Kraken was hovering 8 spaces in the air over that pit when they got harpooned by the hornet and dropped all the way down. They swore revenge on that bastard but he fled the battle (only mech left standing so he gtfo)||

[west phoenix]

Yeah i just did that lmao

[polar glacier]

beat 17

[midnight forge]

splendid thank you

[west phoenix]

||the hornet immediately fell to its death, i teleported someone in the pit, i nearly used accelerate to send someone else in the pit. If anyone uses Napoleon and gets to that bridge quickly you can just put up a stasis barrier and they have to go through the pit lmao||

[midnight forge]

I'm stupidly slow but if I had gotten closer in the time I would have used the Mossberg's Collider system and Magnetically repelled two of these goons off either end of the bridge

For Reference

[west phoenix]

The hell is this

Wait that's brutal

[tame tide]

God I love the note I put on that one 🤣

Don't mind me laughing at my own joke

[west phoenix]

I am minding

[tame tide]

Sorry for your loss

[midnight forge]

||our chomolungma just BCL'd the Hornet into the pit as well holy fuck ||

[tame tide]

h o w

[midnight forge]

||They were 6 feet in the air, BCL moved and proned it so it just plummetted, down, took max damage and instantly crumbled ||

[tame tide]

||FLying characters are immune to prone||

[midnight forge]

Well.

Ah.

Um.

Hindishgt says rule of cool but that's a fumble on our part LOL

[west phoenix]

Many such cases

Shout out to the time our whole table (GM included) thought WACP was a protocol

We were new

[tame tide]

WACP?

||I actually threw so many enemies into the pit with an exotic weapon my GM gave me that he had a breakdown for a bit and said it needed to be removed afterwards.||
