[lean fjord]

Might be a bit less actually

[faint pivot]

I wonder if Poinking has enough for Desperado 8?

[lean fjord]

Hmm

You have Udjat, FASshu

[faint pivot]

The B.J.B.

SL Sang has to be Riensang so he's out

[lean fjord]

You definitely can if you pad out your backup with ammo

[faint pivot]

🤔

For when I shard Riensang then

[lean fjord]

Those two and Full Stops brings you to four

So you need four other ammo IDs in backup

[faint pivot]

Let's see

LCCB Ish

Hookgor

...hah, just noticing now how the Index took sinners 1 2 and 3

Then the Thumbs make 4

[lean fjord]

Yeah

[faint pivot]

Hrm

[lean fjord]

So it's doable

[faint pivot]

I would appreciate that abundance of AoE...

This one first though

Ammo sinners would be 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, and 13

9 sinners

...que

[lean fjord]

Desperado is such a fun gift

Both of the fusions in the new Walp pack are so good

[faint pivot]

If one were insane they could run Rumor Desperado

[faint pivot]

What are those again?

[lean fjord]

Desperado is one

The other is the Alriune flowers, forget the name rn

[faint pivot]

Oh, must've misremembered

[lean fjord]

It's called Pink Bouquet

https://dante-planner.com/ego-gift/9239

Lots of great stuff

[faint pivot]

Oh shit

Goated website, thank you for sharing

Hum, new EGO gift called Raincloud also checks backups, seemingly

[lean fjord]

There's a few like that now yeah

[faint pivot]

What are the others?

[lean fjord]

There's some in the canto 8 packs

[faint pivot]

Jesus the Bongy pack is insane

[lean fjord]

Oh yeah

It's a secret pack though

[faint pivot]

Meaning it can't be searched? Dang, oh well

[faint pivot]

Finding it wild how Regret Faust stabs using her hammer as her s2

[tiny cave]

When you have a big block of metal on a stick it doesn’t really matter what side of the metal you hit them with

[faint pivot]

Why isn't Desperado applying Desperado 😭

...let me guess, it's because Hookgor isn't at UT3

[cosmic gorge]

do you have

yes

probably that

maybe

[faint pivot]

Fack

His s3 is locked

So none of his skills consume ammo

Ok so how do I make Uptie changes apply to IDs mid-runs

[cosmic gorge]

exit, apply change, go back in

its das simple

[faint pivot]

Ah I thought those didn't immediately apply, nice

[minor gust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LoGTU9tCus

oh shit

ryohsu

BABY GIRL

[faint pivot]

Sorrowful Exhale now includes backups

[neat cedar]

hmmmm

so it doesn't seem.like bleed rupture from what i can tell

or tremor

pure bleed maybe?

[minor gust]

i still dont get what the fauvist art movement is

ist wild brushwork based on wikipedia

but how does it relate to animals?

[neat cedar]

Wild Brushworl
Wild animals

I can see the concept there

especially given that they're the only Ring faction we've seen to not work.with Human materials

[faint pivot]

GREGOR 😭

[neat cedar]

They also seem to be focusing more on taxidermy and needle/threadwork

to manipulate their prostbetics(?)

[faint pivot]

For their secondary functions seemingly, yeah

Also to bind and trap?

[neat cedar]

Fauvism def seems to be a lot more bold than other schools

[faint pivot]

The blue effects Rodion's claw leaves makes me think Sinking but I see no Sinking effect

[neat cedar]

Yeah inhighyl doubt sinking

maybe tho

maybe they'll do some weirls melding effect?

i dunno, there is def some sort of chimerism angle to them

also, shout out to confirmation that kira is infact, alive and maybe well

[stoic fjord]

I'll check this out as soon as I can

[faint pivot]

If it was Tremor there'd be a burst effect but it's not there either

Imagine if it was Rupture, lmao

Two Blupture fiends get new IDs that also happen to be Blupture

No way right?

[stoic fjord]

Question

I saw someone say Blupture was like

A bad status combo

Why is that

[faint pivot]

Cause they're both unstable

[stoic fjord]

Nothing about the units just the status

[stoic fjord]

Ahhh

[faint pivot]

Let's take Bleed Charge

If you focus on Bleed gifts, Charge can support its own weight

[neat cedar]

they in theory can workmreally well but also

both need huge amounts of count

to not like

[faint pivot]

And if you go with Charge gifts first, Bleed is a bit unstable but isn't left in the dust

[neat cedar]

burn out

[faint pivot]

With Blupture or Sinture, if you focus on one, the other gets left behind

That stack isn't forming

[neat cedar]

i believe it's why bloodfiends just didn't really ever care for keeping a stack

theynjust need the bleed dmg to happen

[faint pivot]

Well

A bigger stack means more bleed damage

[neat cedar]

yeah, but withnhow bloodfeast works

[faint pivot]

But yeah the Bloodfiends compensate with Bloodfeast

[neat cedar]

you're always getting benefit

rupture, meanwhile, is even less stable than bleed

since it's on hit

[faint pivot]

No Sanguine Desire to patch it up for a turn

[stoic fjord]

And thus they gave us the heishou

[neat cedar]

soecifcally mao, yeah

ifnyou run a mao team.well, they can keep a stack with very good results

Especially mao outis with ebony queen

[faint pivot]

There's no world where these Fauvists are Burn

What, Poise?

[neat cedar]

indeed

i'm curioua if they'll be pure bleed

but have a funky like

Kira ish type effect

[stoic fjord]

Oh I kind of meant the Heishou being good even without stable rupture

[neat cedar]

ah, yeah

[faint pivot]

Ooooh that'd be good

[neat cedar]

Like, i honestly barely consider heishou rupture ids

they're just a gank squad comp

[faint pivot]

By the way

[stoic fjord]

Rupture ID the way QoH Don is a rupture ID

[faint pivot]

Am I blind

Or is the "Dead Lake" artwork Rodion talks about not on her person

I see feathers and fur, no scales

[neat cedar]

she jas scales

[atomic steeple]

So they use wild brushwork to represent strong emotion, forsaking the refined representation of things
A critic called them wild beasts, abd thus fauvists took the name (fauves is beasts)

[neat cedar]

u cab see it in the preview uptienart

[minor gust]

i havent made good judgement yet but the bg is all scultpures, many ring artwork is so,,, svcultpures instea dof paintings

[neat cedar]

the Pointilists do paintings

Ring Sang and Ring outis for example

but PM seems to be taking their name very literally for the ring faction

and honestly, i think it works well

compared to every other ring faction

despite having the very well maintained clothes, their actual art pieces are a mishmash of random chimeric features

[faint pivot]

Ah it's between the paw and the feathers I see

[neat cedar]

also, man

Rodionnreally does look gorgeous here

[cosmic gorge]

Whoaw

[neat cedar]

I'm.curiois at how sault "Violated the traditional tennets of Fauvism"

[cosmic gorge]

More foreshadowing

[neat cedar]

I need to check but i find it funny that the thumb seems ti he thr only finger sault excels at

[stoic fjord]

In love is right... holy shit...

Gregor is the luckiest man in the entire City

Wait

Hold on I'm getting a call

Oh

Oh no

Nevermind

I can't quite say that

[neat cedar]

I feel like Gregor would not be a fan of fauvists

they, however

[stoic fjord]

Agreed

[neat cedar]

would like be big fans of him

[stoic fjord]

Rodion wearing a pure white suit and having a ponytail...

I'm actually kind of reminded of the uhhh

The convo we had about Hana Rodion as a potentially cool ID

[neat cedar]

also

another rodionnthat has her heart closed off entirely

i.e. no cleavage for tha tattoo to show

[stoic fjord]

Doesn't Dulcinela rodion lack the tattoo entirely or am I tweaking

[faint pivot]

She has it

Clearest ID with it even

[neat cedar]

Dulci rodion does tend tondistract people from.that

it's understandable

[stoic fjord]

Noted

[neat cedar]

butnyeah thebreal reasonnis

it's hidden bynher hair and arms innher idnarts

but clear as day on her sprite

[stoic fjord]

Ahhhh, okay

[neat cedar]

i think it is a very deliberate artistic choice by now

[faint pivot]

Fawk gang

[neat cedar]

that rodion's specific sinner trait gets hidden even whennit should show up

[faint pivot]

Learning this makes me wanna swap out SL Sang for Riensang (who I do not have yet)

Do I???

Ah wait that'd turn off Desperado nvm LMAO

I could make the cursed choice to switch FAShu with LCCBshu but uh

That's not enough Sinking either lmao

[dusty sigil]

Chat

In the trailer we see Gregor say “Outis was right”

She’s totally gonna suggest we keep Gregor dead for the time being yah?

[neat cedar]

hard to say, but not unlikely

if anyone is familiarnwith thebhorror of what greg is

it would be her

[dusty sigil]

I think it’ll mostly be the uncertainty of it all

Don also could potentially kill everyone but we know how her thing works

It’s her shoes

With Gregor, the trigger is unknown and unclear

[unique bane]

Critics compared them to wild beasts because of their use of colour

[faint pivot]

I guessed right going into this run

Desperado on a Staggered enemy is really funny

[dusty sigil]

Also, the fauvists seem to be bleed sinking

You see the sinking effects on hit

[faint pivot]

No way 😭

I guess I'm plain blind then

Damn though

They really edging us a whole double status team

[stoic fjord]

They've done this genuinely so many times

[stoic fjord]

He's also arguably significantly more dangerous

Don is just a bloodfiend

Whereas the first layer, not even fully developed

Did... ALL THAT

[dusty sigil]

Yah

Sancho is strong

Easily the strongest sinner

But she’s not a wing’s decisive weapon

[stoic fjord]

||It is not hard to accidentally kill Vergilius in that fight if you panic and don't know what you're doing. In a world without the Flow, Dante might've panicked and our Guide might be dead.||

[dusty sigil]

Like, I think the difference is that Sancho, if unleashed and not stopped, will kill all the sinners and Dante

And then likely be assigned a star of the city threat

[stoic fjord]

But like

Vergilius alone is enough, more than enough to stop her

Whereas like.

Yeah.

[dusty sigil]

Gregor, if unleashed and not stopped, will kill the sinners, kill Dante, kill Vergilius, and then kill everyone within a 5 Mile radius

[stoic fjord]

I would argue probably more than that

Genuinely it would take a Corp's major enforcement forces all working together i think

[dusty sigil]

Oh yah this is modeling the first hour of what would happen

[stoic fjord]

If we released this boy in K Corp

Siegfried? Cooked.

Every single employee? Cooked.

Genuinely K Corp would have to tap into that deep shit

[faint pivot]

K Corp would be particularly bad place for this lad to be

Since ah

[dusty sigil]

Yah, whatever wing it’s unleashed in would essentially have to formulate their a chunk of their army from the smoke war again

[stoic fjord]

DO NOT LET HIM NEAR AN AMPULE

[faint pivot]

They aren't the only ones who could benefit from the HP bullets

Yep

[stoic fjord]

and if they use them as like

Dissolving

No they didn't gng

[faint pivot]

Dissolve? Oh yea this one roach died

Twas sad

Anyway

[stoic fjord]

The devouring swarm is coming 😭

[faint pivot]

Hell they'd have to do more

This guy wasn't deployed!

[stoic fjord]

Tbf this guy is also not actually in full weapon state

[faint pivot]

Exactly!!

[stoic fjord]

...and actively holding himself back the best he can

[dusty sigil]

I mean, the other G Corp decisive weapons were they did lose. With this being the first unwrapping he’s probably equal to those

[stoic fjord]

....

Okay yeah G Corp fumbled we're bouta become fucking impuritas gng

[faint pivot]

I fear the day in like idk Faust's canto and we fight the MD secret bosses outside of MD

...is ma boi a secret boss I forgor

[dusty sigil]

As bad as it is I do think roach emperor Gregor would be more like a STOC threat

[stoic fjord]

Nope

[dusty sigil]

Nah

[faint pivot]

Mb

I fear the day we meet him without our guide

[stoic fjord]

This first unwrapping, sure, but I dunno maybe if we get deeper

[stoic fjord]

We are going to meet god

[dusty sigil]

I mean I thought we were only talking about the first unwrapping?

[lean fjord]

Interesting, I wonder if the Fauvists will also be Charge Bleed

[stoic fjord]

I'm kinda talking about the theoretical further layers as well but also yeah mainly for the "what if we dropped him in a wing" scenario

[faint pivot]

Def not Charge

[stoic fjord]

I think they're sinking bleed

[faint pivot]

Apparently there's Sinking effects visible

[dusty sigil]

Ah okay

[lean fjord]

With them also building up and going into a more complete state

[faint pivot]

But even then, they use strings for their secondary functions

[dusty sigil]

They’re sinking bleed so far

[faint pivot]

I'd be shocked if "pull string to Lock In" was a Charge thing

They def have an escalation mechanic yeah

[dusty sigil]

Also like, just based off their designs

Rodion is definitely the one based off an actual character

And not just “this character but in this faction”

She’s way more detailed then Meursault is

[stoic fjord]

100%

[dusty sigil]

Who looks like the generic fauvist goons we see in the trailer

[lean fjord]

Meursault is gonna be some of the basic enemies presumably

[stoic fjord]

Meursault will get no relevant IDs this season

[dusty sigil]

No one’s head is being destroyed you have to understand

[atomic steeple]

People are thinking rupture or sinking. SOme enemies were in low morale in the trailer

Route in a way that gets you some items that ensure survival

Alternatively, put sacrificial units up front and let your actual team come in after

Or a combination of the two

Use evades? Pray?

I feel like Hermann is the type to never actually argue with other parents

Ain't no way he'd blow up on his own volition though that man has next to nothing inside his head

[dusty sigil]

[dusty sigil]

I mean probably yah

[lean fjord]

Sorry I probably should have replied for that

[dusty sigil]

Roland cliff is one of the IDs we see in game

When a bunch of alternative Heathcliff’s and Catherine’s are flashing on screen

[lean fjord]

Oh right that did happen yeah

[dusty sigil]

It’s technically just Heathcliff in a black suit so it could be a generic fixer ID but like

Nah

It’s Roland

PM knew what they were doing there

[atomic steeple]

Hm, angela gregor then

[wild mango]

oh hey we finally got heishou gregor :)

but, im curious what's allowing them to mutate?

sinking bleed? cool

[lean fjord]

They're not mutating, just assembling their beast prosthesics

[wild mango]

beast prosthetics?

what i thought were hardblood weapons are like

strings...

cool

[lean fjord]

If you mean the fauvists

[fickle crown]

I think that has more to do with their potential as a new house of spiders

[wild mango]

fauvist rodi pulls those red strings out of her bear claw

these animations rip though

[signal kindle]

I think decisive weapon Gregor could only by matched by a non insignificant force (still only like 10 people) from the head or everything R corp has to throw

[lean fjord]

It would be very difficult

Sheer numbers only do so much when they just get eaten alive by the vermin

You'd need something that can protect similar to Verg's shields

[fickle crown]

Given arbiters are a thing (and the head bothers to even deal with the issue) they'll probably stand a chance

Toss a couple claws and an arbiter his way and I don't think he'll unwrap in time

[lean fjord]

The Head could definitely do it

Because Arbiters and Claws are bullshit

[wild mango]

they WEAR thier art

which is sick as fuck

(theyre literally furries lmao) (/pos)

[lean fjord]

Hmm, that makes me think of an Arbiter specialised in using K Corp singularity

Healing and decay

[wild mango]

rodi with the long ponytail looks great

[dusty sigil]

Honestly my first thought would be that the Head sends the sweepers after him

[atomic steeple]

Seems I was right
Fauvists get a beast mode

[dusty sigil]

They move in numbers that not even the roach emperor can match

And can clear the path for an arbiter to claw to kill Gregor

[lean fjord]

True, Sweepers could probably do it

[signal kindle]

Arbiter, claws, sweepers

[stoic fjord]

Idk the roach swarm kinda does 500 damage a turn

That's more than sweeper max HP so persistence won't save them

And it's an AoE

[signal kindle]

We’ve only ever fought like

5 at a time

Imagine a full swarm being directed to liquify one target

[stoic fjord]

Fair, I still feel like it'd moreso be the sweepers keep the swarm of vermin busy rather than actually getting through though

[signal kindle]

Agreed

[stoic fjord]

Or

Hrm

I mean if it's base hatch, I think yeah the sweepers contribute

[signal kindle]

It’s basically just counter swarming the vermin while the actual troops of the head do their work

[stoic fjord]

Any deeper and i genuinely do not know

[stoic fjord]

Which, yeah, there it's probably over for the Kaiser

[lean fjord]

It's in general fun to think about Arbiters wielding each of the singularities

[stoic fjord]

Because arbiters individually probably equate to a decisive weapon I can't even lie

[signal kindle]

Inb4 canto 12 where we have to fight the unwrapped present kaiser and he just has 9 purple coins

[stoic fjord]

See i doubt that

Because I think the purple coins are kind of an arayashiki think

||The erasure||

They're not a new tier of coin, they're just. What it does.

[signal kindle]

as much as I’d agree I don’t know if they’d invent an entirely new mechanic and just not use it again

[stoic fjord]

Right, I moreso mean that shit is genuinely gonna be relegated to arbiter or smth

[lean fjord]

I'm not even sure we're gonna see green coins any time soon

[dusty sigil]

I think purple coins are to tied to existence erasure yah

Because mechanically they’re identical to green coins

[signal kindle]

Fair

[dusty sigil]

They’re coins that break all coins including red coins

[signal kindle]

Yeye

[lean fjord]

Mostly, the purples have a chance to erase on any clash IIRC

As well as on win

[split beacon]

[gentle mulch]

GET BURSTED

[lean fjord]

did you trigger Special Contract perhaps?

[atomic steeple]

https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/project-moon-thread.111168/post-37995726
Good analysis
I think meursault might compensate having only one clawmark by either inflicting debuffs (offense/defense down, damage down, bind) or supporting rodya and the ring team

[lean fjord]

unsure if I should do Sinking/Tremor or Bleed/Charge/Rupture for MDE

[atomic steeple]

Rewatching it you're half right it seems. Meursault exclusively inflicts red clawmarks that never 'pop' into the big multicoloured clawmark seen most of the time in Rodya's part of the teaser but she inflicts both red and blue clawmarks, seen most easily in her unenhanced Power Counter where the enemy gains 3 red and 2 blue on attack end. You can also faintly see both red and blue clawmarks underneath the bigger multicoloured clawmark during her s3-2 animation.

So I think Meursault has Clawmark (Bleed) while Rodion has Clawmark (Bleed) and Clawmark (Sinking) and she inflicts Clawmark (Unique Panic) when total Clawmark value = X+

The only thing puzzling me is that since all IDs are hybrids now you'd think Meursault would still be Blinking anyway at which point you wonder why he doesn't get Clawmark (Sinking) too

[fickle crown]

I think Meursault might fit in more as a count applier maybe?

Or he might have poise gain or whatever

[lean fjord]

we don't have another bridge for Bleed/Sinkin yet right?

[atomic steeple]

As a student, acting as unglamorous support could fit him

[fickle crown]

I'd probably still use Princesault tho

[atomic steeple]

Just one more fauvist please kjh

[fickle crown]

Because I like Princesault

new rodion kit reveal is pretty insane

[atomic steeple]

It is only for fights designed for it

[lean fjord]

wait I only just noticed Zwei Rodion has Poise count but no potency
that's hilarious

[tiny cave]

season 2 id gaming

she uses poise count as charge for... reasons

[eternal berry]

lawless ID design

[lean fjord]

also still before defense skills were actually real for most IDs

the single coin guard with no effects or affinity

[tiny cave]

pre ut4 gaming but yeah release defense skills were complete ass

single coin guard that can't block an attack

single coin counter that does less damage than your s1 (at least they have an affinity) in return for you taking a limbillion damage

[lean fjord]

Evade was the only defense worth using, and most of them were still ass

[tiny cave]

evades broken as always

i believe the average s1-s2 evade rolls a 16 unconditionally

whereas most new evades are 14 unconditional, 16 conditional

oh apparently not its just tingtang having an unconditional 16, conditional 18 evade

the rest are 14-15

and then season 2 has molar ish with her absurd 10+4 evade

[faint pivot]

Twas before Poise had Potency iirc

[lean fjord]

no it always did

early Poise IDs were just built wrong as a joke

a bunch of them had either too little potency gain, too little count gain, or both

[tiny cave]

lcb ryo literally can't maintain a poise stack, same with ut3 kurakumo rodion

zero poise count anywhere so it just expires at end turn

[atomic steeple]

I love having an enemy get evaded and die from bleed

[eternal gull]

I just love "oh how we love the flesh and bone" from callistlu its so cute

I just imagine he sees faustina beating the shit out of someone and is just like "hell yeah you go girl :D"

Nay, says it doesn't

[lean fjord]

If she actually gets the "on clash loss, evade" its gonna be really funny

[lean fjord]

Oh damn, guess they changed that

announcer is only her upper body for a reason 😛

[stoic fjord]

FOUL 💀

[faint pivot]

Not in just that way

Like

[eternal gull]

I want Kira and Kim to be doing better :(

[stoic fjord]

She kinda just sounds depressed from what I saw

[faint pivot]

Something about her indecisiveness and threats make her sound directionless/lost to me

[eternal gull]

iron syndicate ahh

[faint pivot]

"Just" 😭

[stoic fjord]

Praying that Kira and Kim have something

Like. I feel like they would have something interesting b

[faint pivot]

Adopt her please Kim

[stoic fjord]

Both having lost what they had and cared for

[stoic fjord]

This tbh

[eternal gull]

Kim please adopt Kira and teach her how to do funny moves 🙏

[stoic fjord]

Teach her the boneclaimer kim

[eternal gull]

Yield my cross to claim their dervish (10000 burn damage)

[stoic fjord]

Violet Boneclaiming Slam

[lean fjord]

Well she got betrayed and almost died, and almost everyone close to her is dead

Also she's imprisoned by the people who killed them

[stoic fjord]

That too yeah

[split beacon]

I doubt they'd bring her back just to go "she's going to be miserable forever"

kjh doesn't go in for torture porn

[stoic fjord]

100%

She's going to at least start emotionally healing

And such

[stoic fjord]

The City is a miserable place but that doesn't mean everyone is miserable forever

[crimson spindle]

she will either heal or get killed in short order

@ebon forge might help your tristatusing

[eternal gull]

the humble 5 mang:

[faint pivot]

Alright

MDE Simor Desperado complete

That was pretty fun ngl

[lean fjord]

Nice

[faint pivot]

Only went to 32 adversity (which does fill up your weekly XP bar) but still challenging enough to be engaging

[lean fjord]

I'm trying to decide between that one and Tri status with the Ring rn

[faint pivot]

Imho?

The 8 ammo benefit is...wobbles hand

It doesn't benefit from stagger and such like I thought earlier

But having the 5 threshold benefit on 1 ID that'll rapidly run out of ammo also isn't ideal

And with the 8 threshold benefit you'll at least be able to squeeze in some staggers and whatnot

So imho, give Simor Desperado a try

[lean fjord]

On the other hand, Ring has a lot of attack weight

[faint pivot]

Oh true both can get there really quickly

My opinion's definitely biased by not having played Faubina much & not having Callu lmao

[lean fjord]

I did shard them both, so that's no issue for me at least

eh, I might do both eventually
we'll see

I do have most of Sinkmor leveled already though, which might also give a slight edge

and I'd have to level Rcliff for Bleed/Charge/Rupture 😔

[stoic fjord]

I sharded faubina yesterday

But I don't have enough to UT4 yet

[lean fjord]

I have like 5k thread spare rn I think

[stoic fjord]

😨

Gamers. I'm concerned.

...I wonder...

||Maybe the reason they're trying to draw Arayashiki is to cut off Gregor's bug arm permanently||

[lean fjord]

with cutting the strings, I feel like it might be something with the Ring

[stoic fjord]

"It's been a fun excursion, Clock."

Been? Ryoshu? Been? What are you doing? Get back here.

[dusty sigil]

I mean, not to be rude but she really doesn’t have much of a reason to be here besides her contract at this point

Without the goal of saving Araya, she doesn’t gain anything from limbus

[stoic fjord]

I know, I'm kind of being silly

[dusty sigil]

And while we brought her back at the end of canto 9, we didn’t actually give her anything new to pursue

We know Araya still exists and is maybe savable but she doesn’t

[crimson spindle]

i don't think that would fix it

the arm is just the obvious manifestation

the emperor is within him

[dusty sigil]

That’s true but I could imagine Gregor demanding she cut off his arm anyway

[stoic fjord]

||I saw a theory of Araya replacing Ryoshu? I don't remember any details of the theory so I don't know what any of the basis was but I'm like. I have a sinking feeling in my gut about it with the trailer.||

[dusty sigil]

Since he does see it as the cause of everything that’s wrong with him

[eternal berry]

Gregor's fully modded from head to toe, yeah. His thing's just that he doesn't look like a bug outside of that

[stoic fjord]

The physical manifestation is enough, I think, he keeps referring to it specifically as everything wrong yeah

[dusty sigil]

Like personality wise?

[crimson spindle]

if they have the balls to replace a sinner I will eat my hat

but happily

[stoic fjord]

||No I mean literally replacing her||

[dusty sigil]

Oh

I really doubt that tbh

[stoic fjord]

||Araya either becoming the new inhabitant of Ryoshu's body or some other process||

[dusty sigil]

||we know Araya is the sheath now||

[stoic fjord]

Same, especially for an intervallo

[dusty sigil]

||also Araya replacing Ryoshu would mess up how Araya wants to journey with her mom||

||until we bring her back physically, her being the sheath means she finally gets to actually spend her childhood with her mother||

||rather then alone in a safe||

[stoic fjord]

Yeah

[stoic fjord]

I really do wonder how things will go

Especially with the Ira Chain, I feel like even if she wants to leave, it could never be nearly that easy

[quaint cliff]

unghhh fuuuuuuuck

[stoic fjord]

The community will NOT be normal about this

[quaint cliff]

😈

[stoic fjord]

I can already hear misg working

[gentle mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/the-musicians-of-bremen-bremen-dingo-pictures-donkey-cat-gif-24211582

IT'S GOING TO SOUND LIKE THE MUSICIANS OF BREMEN IN THERE

[lean fjord]

honestly not as much leveling needed as I thought

(ignore Pequod, she's only here to be a bleed backup)

[stoic fjord]

I like to think that perhaps someday we will have a 000 ammo ID for every sinner

[lean fjord]

eventually I'm sure

so is White Gossypium actually good even if you're in bleed?

[split beacon]

sort of.

White Gossypium helps you win clashes later in MDE but early it just kinda sucks for no benefit

[keen palm]

I mean like, it sucks but it doesn't

[split beacon]

eventually the balance becomes so rocket tag heavy that getting a free turn by staggering your enemies is worth a lot less than consistently winning clashes and not letting them have turns anyways

but early, staggering enemies is worth way more than getting the level downs

[keen palm]

Because most likely in early MD you're winning clashes anyway so the stagger doesn't actually result in opprotunity cost

you aren't going to lose off it but a combat might take like

a turn or two longer

[split beacon]

I mean the real nuisance is that if you haven't got the good Bleed gifts yet you can concievably have bleed stacks fall off, which means you can get nothing from Gossy and also lose staggers

[keen palm]

If early we mean like, floor 1-2 then yes

[split beacon]

Would you rather have level downs but no staggers, or staggers, unlimited staggers, but no staggers

[main scaffold]

She looks like a wet puppy now 😢

[split beacon]

Punished Kira is clearly not a happy camper

[atomic steeple]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/limbuscompany/comments/1sho7it/using_certain_ut1_egos_against_valencina_changes/

Woah

Must be a weird bug

But maybe they originally intended but scrapped this

Or bugs just tend to involve smoke war images

[main scaffold]

She forgot about Araya so she doesn’t care about unsheathing the sword anymore 😭 😭 😭

How much you want to bet that the tradition Meursault violated was not using humans in fauvism

MakoPeanuts ↩️

[Reply to:](#1208554035326484531 message) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LoGTU9tCus 📎

[cloud wadi]

Well rodion uses whales in her art

Unless whales are humans…

Hmm

Well fauvism means wild beast

[main scaffold]

I mean that Meursault used humans

[cloud wadi]

But Meursault is working with dogs

Aka not really a wild beast

And furthermore his title of the work is “man’s best dog”

Which is very far from being a wild beast!

A tamed beast trained for specific purpose

[main scaffold]

we got to bamboo hatted kim and beat him by making meaursault break his knees over and over

[lean fjord]

huh I never realized W Don can also brick her skills in MD

you need to keep 1 S2 to have a skill that gains charge

[ebon forge]

The 51kb update was smokewar.png iirc

[lean fjord]

damn, AEDD Greg is a lot better than I expected

[gentle mulch]

AEDD Gregor is way better than I expected

Especially the survivability

[lean fjord]

his AoE is kinda insane

[worthy haven]

Also his synergy with the ring IDs even tho that wasn't really predictable prior obvi

[neat cedar]

man really bring charge together as a whole

[gentle mulch]

He saved charge

[neat cedar]

side note: did not realize that rodya used parts from Whales in her work

https://tenor.com/view/jesuschrist-jesus-christ-kid-giacomopisano-gif-19088356

[lean fjord]

yeah I'm running this team in MDE rn

it's very good

if a boss has multiple parts, they get absolutely torn apart by Greg and the Ring

also finally a team that can use the MOTW gifts really well 😌

[stoic fjord]

I NEED to know how that was sourced

[neat cedar]

Directly, probably

[stoic fjord]

did she hit up Santiago?? did she kill a whale herself??? do whales just wash up on the beach sometimes???

[neat cedar]

like, Whales do get hunted

that's how U corp gets their oil

[stoic fjord]

ohhhh right yeah

but also like

[neat cedar]

Still dangerous as hell, of course

[stoic fjord]

I imagine it's not exactly many people besides, y'know

an entire corp

and a color fixer dedicated to killing the things

[neat cedar]

I mean it's not an entirr corp

Ish was doing it with ahab and crew

[stoic fjord]

wait was Ahab sponsored by U Corp, then?

[neat cedar]

They were sponsored by thr fixer org

[stoic fjord]

hrm

[neat cedar]

Likely Eight i think

[stoic fjord]

fair

I still feel like whales in Ring art is batshit insane

[neat cedar]

Oh it definitely is

but not every whale is, like

Calamity level

amd fusing the flesh of a parastic organism to your body

very questionable

but it does make a statement

[stoic fjord]

yeah, I imagine the Pallid Whale was a bit fucky wucky?

[neat cedar]

mhmmm

[stoic fjord]

god the whales are genuinely fucking horrifying

[gentle mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/dar-deku-gif-7393284582056322509

Who is also inexplicably there because street tier was mentioned

[stoic fjord]

ok so I know nothing about MHA

how long would Deku last in the City

[ebon forge]

Why do I have a feeling that Hohenheim would pick it up instantly and powerscale accurately

[gentle mulch]

eviscerated upon entry

[stoic fjord]

...are people with quirks not human?

[dusty sigil]

Hohenheim would start analyzing details in the animation to accurately asses relative strength levels yah

[gentle mulch]

no deku would just get wiped by looking a Thumb wrong and die

[stoic fjord]

pixel measurements headass

[dusty sigil]

Do you realize how much of the city is streets?

[gentle mulch]

not enough to keep him alive

[stoic fjord]

okay yeah fair

[uneven canopy]

highly enforced streets

[stoic fjord]

alternatively he says something to a middle member

[ebon forge]

He’d be like, “Yeah so most Alephs are whole of backstreets level, but rare cases like Mountain of Smiling Bodies scale to wing level”

[stoic fjord]

and genuinely just gets his shit turned to dust

[dusty sigil]

Look, I don’t wanna be that guy, but unironically Deku is like crazy strong compared to 99% of the city lol

[ebon forge]

Ok deadass I feel like maxed out Deku is like, SotC but gets nuked instantly cuz some Middle Big Brother gets angered by him and he gets put into the Lolang Book of Vengance

Definitely would make for a color fixer imo

[dusty sigil]

Unfortunately the second they see he’s labeled as a SOTC they avoid ever fighting him

[stoic fjord]

no the fuck they wouldn't bro

Roland Incident

[ebon forge]

He’s crazy strong but sadly, “Savage Tigerslayer's Perfected Flurry of Blades [超絕猛虎殺擊亂斬]”

[stoic fjord]

them mfs don't give a shit about learning a lesson

unless it's someone else learning the lesson of "DON'T FUCK WITH THE MIDDLE"

[dusty sigil]

I mean in limbus they’ve never actually fought anything stronger then urban nightmare

Ricardo ran when the indigo elder showed up

[stoic fjord]

okay true

but also he's level 60 and literally got his entire arm blown off or some shit

[dusty sigil]

I’m realizing he’s the only middle member we’ve seen

Matthias doesn’t count anymore

[stoic fjord]

I feel like at some point a Great Brother steps in and thrashes your shit

[dusty sigil]

He got stripped of his rank

[stoic fjord]

yuh

[ebon forge]

Ok deadass Class 1A and 2B I think they’re called?

Like majority of them are like, SotC, plus minus a few

Mei becomes a S class atelier by herself

Motherfucker managed to make 7 whole quirks into power armor and she did that offscreen

[atomic steeple]

I feel like either a wing or finger try to kidnap him for science
His best bet is to join an association or go to the outskirts, because he can't face the City alone, strong he may be

[neat cedar]

It really depends on when your putting them innthr city

because if ur taking early game.deku, his ass is grass

not because he's weak

but because he's waaaaaay too kind hearted and.lacking experience

[dusty sigil]

It’s so funny to me that Valencina flat out says “parry this asshole!”

[lean fjord]

only downside of this MD comp
I'm never actually gonna see Ring Lu's S3-2

[atomic steeple]

Sometimes the fandom outside here is good

A reddit thread has now become an art argument about the fauvists

And whether they have good art or not

[lean fjord]

not getting any secret bosses 😔

[neat cedar]

lol

glad ti hear the debate is still on going

[atomic steeple]

I'm in the trenches defending the potential of fauvism, in spite of the flaws in the gallery we saw

The gallery colors somewhat drowns out the works

The big thing in front is a chaotic mish mash without appeal

But meursault and rodya have good stuff

Man's best dog imposes a sense of order and cleanliness to the chaotic and beastly style of fauvism, befitting a domesticated animal famous for being trained

Rodya inverts the whales
They assimilate others and mix their tissue into them.
Rodya fused their skins into Dead Lake

An unnatural version of the natural

[neat cedar]

God if we get actuap legit art critque convos between the rings once we see all.of them laid out

it's so funny

we need more pointlists.tho

[atomic steeple]

Corporate sellouts

[neat cedar]

pfft

so the schools.we have yet to.see are

[atomic steeple]

Soon as their maestro died, they went crying to mommy hermann

[neat cedar]

the Supremascists and the Cubists

[atomic steeple]

Funny thing is

There's a line between movements

Pointilists led to fauvists

Who led to cubism

Who led to suprematism

[neat cedar]

Remind me, is cubism what picasso did or is that something else?

[atomic steeple]

Picasso yes

[neat cedar]

Considering where thebstory is heading

and what picasso's most famous work is

thinga could get very interesting with that one

[atomic steeple]

We seem to be going in order

So Cubists will be introduced later

[neat cedar]

i also think that

[unique bane]

which one is that again? i think i know what it is but i can't remember its name

[atomic steeple]

And then Suprematists

[neat cedar]

Guernica

might be spelling it wrong

but i think that is his most well known piece

[neat cedar]

but yeah, i think that each of the ring schools seem.to.be focusing on utilization of a specific part of the human body of their pieces

except for Corporism

which tries.to use everything

[stoic fjord]

spelled it right

[atomic steeple]

Pointilists seems to be amount blood and mind

[neat cedar]

Pointilism.uses the blood.and fluids, and Fauvism.seems to use tendons as the connecting thread

[stoic fjord]

anti-war piece? painted during the bombing of the city of Guernica

[neat cedar]

ye

[atomic steeple]

Pointilism cares a lot about possibilities, and made these gems from peccatula

They felt the least interested in the physical

Something in callisto manikins was related to cubism, according to ryoshu

[neat cedar]

hmmm

maybe eithet

forced loco.motion?

[stoic fjord]

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING ABOUT THE PINKY NURSEFATHER FIGHT THEME

[stoic fjord]

||at certain points, especially in the beginning, you can faintly hear a childlike voice in the background, somewhat distorted||

THE FORESHADOWING

IT WAS THERE ALL ALONG

[atomic steeple]

Yeah, I'm guessing they care about motion, and might specialize in bones
And use tremor

[neat cedar]

Bones or nervous system.impulses

[atomic steeple]

Exactly

[lean fjord]

alright, that's 15/60 clear done

probably didn't need to actually do that lmao

[atomic steeple]

Honestly, I leaned bones due to the idea of carving angular forms
But you can shape nerves, maybe even brains

[neat cedar]

mhmm

i saw a bit about Esgoo saying the ring is the most boring finger

and I think that is true if you've never really studied like

art history

or seriously looked into art interpretation

[atomic steeple]

Ring has always been one of the most interesting to me

[neat cedar]

i'm no expert on those fields to be clear, but if you look at the Ring as artists

you can draw a lot of interesting insights just on how they choose to use their artisti medium

[atomic steeple]

I think only middle and pinky can feel boring

[neat cedar]

they are much more than just "serial killer artists lol"

Pinky is a mystery box so i hold judgement on them

like we don't have nearly enough insight on them as an org to really say

the Middle is interesting to me because they're so

fuckin fake

and over compensating

"wer are the biggest dogs around"while consistentaly being shown getting their asses handed to them

[atomic steeple]

This interpretation already starts wrong by missing that they're scientists and engineers too. Dante says this fingers about art and knowledge, but a lot of people miss that

[neat cedar]

mhmm

more peeps need to read dante's notes

myself included

[atomic steeple]

The interesting thing is this big piece almost tricks you, it looks coherent at first but then a closer look shows it as a mishmash. Perhaps it was an intended effect, but even so it would be an art piece that better exists as a correction one makes in their mind rather than the ugly piece itself

[stoic fjord]

tbf we've see like, a fairly new Big Brother, and a washed up Great Brother and both times a color fixer was needed

in the latter case it was more than just the color fixer as well

I think it's kind of a similar case to the thumb, I could argue that the thumb genuinely just got fucked by the Index without being able to even make it a costly victory for the Index but it's more a matter of circumstance than "the thumb is inherently weaker than the index"

[neat cedar]

I like how they use it in the trailer

it kinda fuckin jumps out at you, and overwhelms

[stoic fjord]

I fw all the fingers of course, and the ring is becoming especially interesting

[neat cedar]

if Fauvism is about being bold and boundary pushing, than, i think that is a valid response to give

even if it kinda seems like an eye sore just standing there

[atomic steeple]

True, the fauvists are good at eliciting surprise and strong reactions

[neat cedar]

i saw a thread about how sault may be too restrained in his pursuits

because all the animals he utilizes

are just domesticated dogs and cats

[atomic steeple]

The stuff in the back, being put on blank canvas amid bright colored walls is interesting

[neat cedar]

which stand out to the large predatory animals that Rodya uses

[neat cedar]

i'm also talking about ruina, but in any case

the only people wgo are really intimidated by the Middle's bluster

tend to be those who they could bully anyway

it brings to mind what Moses says ti me

the Middle is all about Grandstanding

[stoic fjord]

I feel like that's all of the fingers except for the Index

[neat cedar]

indeed, but other fingers aren't as loud and proud about getting back at their detractors

[stoic fjord]

true

[atomic steeple]

Ring just wanna make art

[neat cedar]

I wouldn't say that. My read on the ring as a finger

is that above making Art

they want Prestige

[stoic fjord]

do any of the HoS IDs have special dialogue for encounters with their counterpart

[neat cedar]

which is their big folly as a finger

[atomic steeple]

True, they want prestige

I was trying to be funny

[neat cedar]

ah, my bad

[atomic steeple]

Callisto: my own clone-

[neat cedar]

again, lot of peeps chatter about the ring as just the art guys

[atomic steeple]

It's fine

[neat cedar]

i also tend to believe thr Nurse fathers are emblematic of the actual flaws of their respective fingers

[atomic steeple]

Ring are pompous academia

[neat cedar]

yeeeeee

[atomic steeple]

My Ring academia, hm

[neat cedar]

Index is Blind Faith devoid of any real.principles or desire of principles, Middle is the strength of community but in a way that will crush you if you step out of line, Thumb is loyalty and hierachy, to an extremists degree

The Pinky is the one i'm iffy on

but i think they are the finver that promises Freedom but never really give it

Shiomi's entire thing is how she once was able to go where she pleased and see the skies, only to be trapped in the House and tied to something she never wanted

None of the NFs want to be there(except maybe callisto), but it's with her that the lack of freedom.gets emphasized the most

[split beacon]

The Ring is only a boring Finger if you are truly ignorant of how fractious and brutal academia can be

[mystic ermine]

Question

If I replace every skill of Ryoshu with her S3
which does not spend ammo
does this still activate since she uses her S1 as unopposed attacks?

[split beacon]

Like take the “Satan is not a fucking pogo stick!” thing and apply it to the Ring, the sauce is already there

[stoic fjord]

...it does say attack skills, rather than base attack skills, but I'm really not sure

I think I would keep at least 1 S2 on her

[cosmic gorge]

Wait what was the context of that
That sounds familiar

[mystic ermine]

thank you

[cosmic gorge]

Also yes

The Ring does that thing i like in fiction where it takes one thing (like art movements) and turns it into something with hype and aura (scary art gangsters)

Like uhh

Fairy tales into cool motifs for characters

[stoic fjord]

I NEED the Middle to recover from some of its aura debt PLEASE KJH 😭

[split beacon]

The Ring isn’t just art movements, it’s also academics and research programs

They probably have bare knuckle drag out fights with the Dieci Association over history books

[neat cedar]

god

learning about modern academia

makes me sad

[split beacon]

In what regard

[neat cedar]

learni g about the history of academia makea me sad

jusy how mucb ofnit is driven less by pursuit of knowledge

and more ego

Just

so much fuckin ego

not all of it mind

[split beacon]

Eh, if I may be somewhat cynical

Ego has always been one of the greatest contributors to academics

[neat cedar]

fair

but it also leads to some pretty awful behaviors still

[split beacon]

I don’t really care if people publish brilliant papers widely for the purpose of inflating their egos if the papers are excellent

The perverse behaviours have always been there too

[neat cedar]

oh I was talking more in that aspect of like

"attacking thought which offends their egos" type beat

[atomic steeple]

The guy who played with the devil core, sure of himself

[neat cedar]

"This thing is correct becaus ei say so, i don't care what you bring me and will do what i can to discredit you"

but ye that's not a "modern" thing

[cosmic gorge]

A cool prof i had turned out to have been part of a petty squabble that lead to some of his retirement benefits being removed

It was messy

[split beacon]

Generally we can only hope that better science wins out in the long run, but yeah, indoctrination sucks

[split beacon]

One of my favourite classes during my undergrad was taught by a petty man who freaked out on the lecture stage because of whispering, quit teaching the class with a few weeks left in the course, and refused to write anyone letters of recommendation for grad school

Nearly screwed my admissions chances up but I found someone willing to take a chance on me

[signal kindle]

Terrifies me that it’s your favourite one

wtf how bad were the others

[split beacon]

favorite course

prof was trash but the content was good

[signal kindle]

Fair

[split beacon]

someday I'll get to use cutting edge machine learning techniques again

anyways re: The Ring at some point they have to show us a Ring tech research workshop instead of the art crowd, it would be so fucking peak

[gentle mulch]

my love/hate relationship with college is that it is a place for learning new things which i like but unfortunately the entire institution around learning new things (in america) is built off of money and competition, which makes every aspect of it Kinda Buns

[cosmic gorge]

My two worse profs have been awful not for specific academia reasons (as in, pettiness and elitism) but for other reasons (one did nothing but yap about her personal life and outsourced the actual teaching to us via "reports", and the other was a bad person i wont elaborate how)

The petty academianess of my other profs was bearable in comparison

[gentle mulch]

mine has ticket-fine-bait parking spots for undergrads to fall into which. okay!

[split beacon]

classic

[gentle mulch]

get that bag i suppose?

[split beacon]

I own a fake parking pass from the defunct radio lab at my school just for this

[cosmic gorge]

Amazing

[gentle mulch]

😔 they run it by plates and an online database now

[split beacon]

damn

[gentle mulch]

yeah they learned, unfortunately

[cosmic gorge]

Would Ring tech research still use the human body

[gentle mulch]

it's the ring the human body is gonna be used for murderart at every exhibition

[split beacon]

I mean, they invented the Corridor and the refraction pods as well as some fascinating extensions of mirror tech

so like

generally yes but not directly so much as an endgoal

the ends of Ring tech research seem to be extending their ability to modify and manipulate the human body

although Fauvists seem interested in other bodies too so that's sort of blurry, we really only know the insides of two Ring art movements, Corporism and Pointillism and of the two Pointillists are clearly less obsessed with the human body itself

the overall directive of the Ring is to reflect the human condition, with the various art movements all taking different directions towards that goal

[neat cedar]

I think the fauvists are a delibeeate rejection of only focusing on the human body

though i think they do use an aspect ofnthe body in their work

via the Tendons

[split beacon]

I mean we also know that the Fauvists use living human beings as manikins to display their work

[neat cedar]

since both Sault and Rodya are yanking red strongs before they use their strongest moves

are they

i thiugh Ryoshu said they were cubist, or utilized cubist techniques

[split beacon]

no no the automanikins are hacks made by Callisto using Cubist technique but in the Ring Fauvist ID trailers it's mentioned that they're using living humans to display their work

[neat cedar]

ah, gotcha

[atomic steeple]

We are gonna see puppet chimeras controlled with tendons

Big mino centaur

[neat cedar]

bro i'm wondering who tall dark.and fully of horns is

a maestro.perhaps?

[split beacon]

actually I wonder if we'll see chimeras

Fauvist Meursault espouses that it's a violation of the central tenets of Fauvism to use more than one type of animal for a single piece

[neat cedar]

Younthink Oswald may habe been a Fauvist?

oh, isnthat the tennant he violated?

[split beacon]

yes

[neat cedar]

hmmm

i guess that explains rodya's lines as well

how they thought hwr work was savage and unrefined

[split beacon]

oh hey

it's those guys in blue uniforms

[stoic fjord]

huh

so, are these guys who are entering the house of spiders also rejects, then??

why is it only the rejects going? what's happenng?

[neat cedar]

someone.said.might be U corp dudes

[split beacon]

the ones mentioned in Callisto Lu's uptie story

[stoic fjord]

not W Corp

[neat cedar]

Because u corp colors are yellow ans light blue

[split beacon]

having your work panned by your Docent doesn't automatically make you a reject

[stoic fjord]

oh right fair

[atomic steeple]

He said that?

[split beacon]

he did say that yes

[neat cedar]

He said specifically that his worl.was a violation

i don't know if he said mixing specifically was, but i can buynit

[neat cedar]

ah i see

[split beacon]

also no wonder Meursault can't make it past Student

[neat cedar]

if U corp is involved, it might be due to Rodya using whale flesh as part of her work

[split beacon]

he literally rejects his own artistic vision and goes "subjectivity is not a matter of concern, there's an objective reason this art isn't good"

what a maroon

[stoic fjord]

lock in. break the tenets if you know them in and out. be transgressive.

[atomic steeple]

Be trans

[split beacon]

meanwhile Rodion is embodying the most important aspect of Fauvism perfectly, be bestial, shocking, and emotionally moving

[atomic steeple]

Can't wait for knot meursault and knot rodya to become available
Feels like I need to constantly build up rodya shards. Rodya just gets so much cool and good stuff

[stoic fjord]

Fraudsault: geeked, failing, too rigid in mindset
GOATya: locked in, thriving, feral and provoking

[stoic fjord]

sorry what

[atomic steeple]

Rodya is quite incredible
She gets so much stuff

Sanguine desire, kodya

[stoic fjord]

no I mean the first line

ohhhh wait the strings

the strings

[atomic steeple]

I'm eager to get the ring ids

[stoic fjord]

nvm

[signal kindle]

I imagine the point of students is to learn the basics of the craft

[atomic steeple]

I was joking

[cosmic gorge]

They turn you into a furry and keep you in a cage or something
Haveng seen the line in the trailer

[atomic steeple]

I said knot meursault and knot rodya indeed

[signal kindle]

Then those interested in becoming maestros would want to try and intentionally subvert the tradition to create their Magnus opus

[atomic steeple]

Found them good nicknames

[cosmic gorge]

(id love to use aedd greg i have him but i have no thread nor tickets )

fascia ated it all

[quaint cliff]

I’m curious if we’ll ever get to see Surrealism translated into the City as a Ring movement.

I would figure they concern themselves with the Light or maybe the Rivers.

Abnormalities, Distortions, E.G.O. could all be considered physical manifestations of unconscious thought and desire. I could see a Surrealist Ring faction experimenting with Monoliths the same way the Pointillists experimented with the Mirror.

[split beacon]

Absurdists would go hard

Also we can and should have R. Mutt the renegade Maestro that the Ring establishment can’t decide whether to execute or promote

Callisto would call it gauche and an insult to the very Ring, but I think Ryoshu would find it a brilliant abbreviation of the creation process itself

Though I guess instead of a urinal, the piece would have to be something like a corpse retrieved from someone else’s kill operation, bagged and signed and sent to the Ring’s exhibition as-is

[cosmic gorge]

"U.H.T. A masterpiece."

[split beacon]

Also based on everything Garion has said there’s no way she wasn’t at least a little interested in Ring exhibitions

She probably swung by a few of their museums and/or shows

[stoic fjord]

I really want to see a ring Maestro who is incredibly fucking controversial in the ring yeah

[gentle mulch]

do

do we have any scenes of like

being caught in alliances of convenience mechanically?

like

3 factions fighting and the LCB has to go through faction A and faction B just happens to be raiding them too

[split beacon]

Sort of, never represented in game though

[gentle mulch]

and we fight with faction B units in the game

yeah

which is why i specified because i think it's a lot of missed potential

we're starting to get that type of thing with the LCE

and verg

[split beacon]

I really would fuck with a fight where we get an ally party of guys who attack non faction members sometimes because their trigger discipline is imperfect

[gentle mulch]

but it's same company so

[split beacon]

And you can get an edge by showing up with IDs that have their faction tag

Like

[gentle mulch]

that'd be pretty cool

[cosmic gorge]

better have friendly fire enabled

it would be funny to have fellsang shoot them

[split beacon]

Zwei Association raid where they accidentally attack non-Zwei party members sometimes with Salvo
