Ahhh tempted to buy all the crates
why tf so many boxes

are we getting yat sen or not
because if not
i wanna laugh at the people who were crazy about us getting her

i forgot to put her in my dorm

I'm sorry gemcat
I'll buy more skins if it pleases you

urakaze just to even out the odds
i still need to look at the other new years skins
kaga and akagi are definite
don't care for prinz, yuudachi is p good imo, PoW is
pass
iso is alright i suppose
eld is a bit expensive
i don't like PoW much because her personality is like a rock
bland and boring
she has almost no variation in how she talks
it's all monotone
OOF

i've got an image of Z in her sensei skin
which i can't post here because dan reasons
but it really makes a man like Z23 more

@warm bluff : Can confirm the allegation.

Although.
I have less skins that I want.
Just pushing my thoughts.
speaking of skins, nicholas skin is leaving soon and i'm still struggling to decide whether or not to break my niap pact
Eldrige: NY Skins looks nice, but I don't use Eld too much and I like her default more.
Isokaze: Not my taste.
PoW: Tempted, but don't use her and she's not exactly a favorite of mine.
Ashigara: Don't have her, don't want her.
Helena: I need it.
Yuudachi: I need it.
Prinz: Considering it... I really like the skin... but idk.
Akashi: I like her other skin more.
Laffey, Kaga, Akagi, Souryuu: Not Really likes.
Atago: Feeling like I want it. tbh.
Italicized ones are those basically guaranteed to be on the list.
Definitely getting the Jintsuu one too.
Consdering getting the Honolulu one, but I know I'll end up switching over to the L2D one once that comes out.
I want some of those too.
Hmmmmm.
I might not buy the Jintsuu skin.
Seems like a solid idea at first.
But now i'm like "Do I really want it?"
just consider the retro skin
Looks like it. Each of the skin announcements have "on sale" in the description.
Naisu.
For only a week, of course.
bruh
I know.
lol
H E L L O T H E R E
Hola.

Howdy
It's a little OT, but I'm making important decisions while listening to the Jojo Dance Song.
Like which skins to buy.
So after strong consideration.
I need the Atago skin too.
... Still heavily considering the Prinz skin.
if i used prinz more i'd buy her skin
those huge torpedo bulges
I actually use prinz a lot
she can tank thru pretty much everything
just stack a camo and a wheel on her

and let her solo frontline
i did use prinz arizona on w10 before update
she has over 6k hp
everytime arizona procs she get + 600
I think the thing that is making me conflicted.
Is that I buy Atago and Prinz skins for lewdness.
And their NY skins aren't too lewd.
Which is making me hesitate.
YOu know what'
Fuck it.
I'm getting both.
Screw it.
So in total, between today and tomorrow I'll be buying like... 6 skins.
Ideally.
Well, considering it's confirmed that there'll be discounts, the gem cost should be less.
It's usually like 20% discount right? We've never had any that were higher?
wdym kind burned out?
I'm sorry.
I'm going to make a sheet cataloging all of the skins I've bought and how many gems they were in total.
Why not just get them as a fan?
I buy my favorite girls the whole collection of skins.
The only reason why I'd even suggesting actually doing it is because the cosmetics system for this game is MUCH better than other games, haha.
So you'd be getting what you pay for, and considering you'd be deciding to spend on it... seems like it'd be worth it.
@warm bluff : My man, spending for the Nicholas skin once won't hurt.
Oof.
Wait what.
That sounds like actual fucking cancer.
So.
Just updated it to include up to date prices on discounts and stuff.
I bought that special bag and got Isokaze's NY skin.
And we get Isokaze tomorrow.
I'm sorry.
I was lucky enough to buy it today as well but got the Lewdis NY skin
Lucky Lou indeed
Literally any skin but that one.
I actually felt that way during the school one.
When I got Souryuu.
And during Neptunia.
When I got Black heart.
I predicted I'd get Yama's back in the Christmas bag though, and I did. I guess my luck just ran out or something.
God, going from 11k gems to 5k gems hurts the soul.
Honestly, when i was first thinking about getting this Shougatsu bag... I was thinking that it'd suck if I got Ashigara.
Since I don't have her and don't intend on pulling the event machine more.
So I would have been content with ANYONE else.
She was the last ship I needed.
Was gonna try to get her via 3-event builds each day, but I emptied shop already.
At least it was only 20 cubes.
So can't complain too much.
I haven't emptied shop... too busy to farm, and I was lucky enough to get Kaga from event build.
So I can't complain either.
Oh, very nice.
Recovering nicely from the event atm.
I'm just glad I got a pretty decent recovery time now.
Many thanks, friendo.

tsk i forgot to buy spring soryuu
.............
which is on sale 3 days ago

oh well
might as well using her kai i guess
Im so sad hai sisters retro isnt coming. And Yatsen.
how many t3 bp are those retros






š

The Graf Zepplin skin was never on discount right?
What's in Winter's Crown.
o
graf spee after crimson echoes
sweet
we get a week or two of break from rolling before WC
@oblique mantle you must be enjoying yourself with that latest tweet 
speecial already coming home to EN
The Neptunia skins weren't on discount right?
Okay, cool. Thanks!
Oh cool.
I'm tallying up all the gems I've spent on skins, LUL
Weren't you pretty hype for Speecial? 
That's just from purchases with Gems.
All the slots for jp
I got Black Heart skin from the Neptunia Lucky Bag.
And wasn't sure if I should include it in the cost.
But I decided not too since I technically didn't get it with gems, haha.
that Duke skin is all kinds of yes 
I was considering making it a "All Skins Owned" sheet, but I don't really need that... mainly interested in the Gem's purchases.
question now is, what the schedule's going to be like
CE ends on 31, Spee starts on 31st, ends on 7th
Idk
will we jump straight into WC after this, or will we get couple days break
I doubt you will get whatever.
But I will get that siri and be done with event once more for jp
And then hibernate
hm, so 4 days from now
actually, it'd make sense
if it's a 3 week event, if we get it on 7th after spee, it'd end around the end of the month
I'm just trying to figure out how many cubes I can amass by the deadline
Do you even know if your correct.
I'm assuming the 3 week part
2 weeks would mean we're not gonna get the 9 cube login which'd suck
I see
lemme look up jp twitter just to make sure
yeah, it's 3 weeks
so even if we get it straight after spee, we'll get the 9 cube login in time
After the light construction nonsense, I ain't scared of any limited build 
you spend 300 cubes of course you wouldnāt be Very brave of you
I really want to commit suicide with this kind of event rushing
this event has put me to my limit... 100k point I initially aimed, now I had to reduce to 55k š¦
No clue why your going to such extremes anyways
There is no big bonus for going to 100k
I know
I just decided to go for 60k and then pretend the 2 tech boxes from 80k and 100k would give me cranes 
I just don't know why I put so much effort on this event...
also, just checked over my cubes
when I got aurora on 16th, I was at 50 cubes left
now sitting at 95
I had 100 cubes on reserve right now. This event has been very kind to me, I got Amagi after 46 cubes
should be easy to stock up till after 7th or whenever WC happens
ple... plei, player dess?
how many are there?
Have you not seen overlord?
If I wanted space pleiades. That shit would be endless
I've seen season 1, dropped season 2 half way
a little too much of lizard sex for me

Nope, I haven't watched any anime for last 2 years
How many meidos do we have?
Yes
Belfast, Edin, Suffolk, and such?
Maid skins. That sounds like a tall order
uh, belfast, edinburgh, suffolk, are what we have in EN right now
then there's Newcastle, Sheffield, Sirius I guess?
Among Royal Family, is maid a low position?
Depends how the king likes it I guess I guess? 
if we were to include meido skins, that'd include hammann and yuugure
Meh
typical maid, I have a feeling that they have low ranks, unless one is a Head Maid like Belfast
So except Belfast, others would not rank very well comparing to other "nobles"
Nah
Just from what Iāve see from people. her alone wouldnāt be true. Sheffield does her job well.
Siri is more field of battle then maid work.
like, when you comparing an official to a commoner
Edinburgh is.... probably low as hell
Anyone that is not Belfast would be very low, I suppose
Oh that. Maybe, plenty of maids that may come
depends on what exact position a maid'd be in I guess
if it's just a regular maid, she'd basically be a house servant
I think a maid is just a maid, nothing more
A Head Maid would be equivalent to a steward, I suppose
there were certain kinds of maids who held more of a retainer status
those were lower-rank nobles often
In Royal Navy, is QE or Hood holding the highest position?
Is she really a literal queen? š¤
the name's kind of a giveaway 
So, when King George V comes (supposedly), what would be QE?
We have Duke of York and Prince of Wales belonging to KGV-class anyway...
Yes
I don't think KGV would suddenly make Queen Elizabeth change her name to just Elizabeth 
Shared power perhaps, maybe
and if we're talking timeline, QE was named after a monarch from 16th century
According to the namesake, King George V is "kouhai" to Queen Elizabeth
wasn't George V 19-20th century
But wait, QE is already loli, so.....
Helenaās pout is the cutest fucking thing.
^ you don't say? 
I donāt say it. I Declare it
They said ships in AL never age, they are immortal
Well, it is the first time I saw Helena pout, showing expression š
Is retrofit injecting something into their bodies? 
And well, we shytkikans will age and get old and die
a few more ages wouldn't matter btw 
And why is that? We speaking about them not dying?
Just like how Lightning in FF13 stopped aging at 21
I can assume that the ship will mature to a point then stop aging
depends how you understand what shipgirls are
if you're going with the belief they're still mechanical, then drinking all that rust-removing cola would explain why they don't age 
I think a shipgirl consists of three part: a human body + a warship's essence + wisdom cube that chains those two together
Iām not gonna go into all that. If they seem to be able to do all this extra stuff, they can probably die. Especially if we go by canon
they can be killed, they just cannot die due to old age
what if they follow elf logic
they look like very human to me, except some cases, like the girls from Sakura faction
and Hammann 
what I mean is, what if intermingling with the commanders makes them lose their eternal life 
Speak for yourself. I try and be the best Com I can be.
If I like it. I got a ring on it
And a name
our meddling with those girls will make them lose their immortality š¤
If they accept it, I see no harm
well, how is a ship constructed?
by fusing a warship's essence into a wisdom cube, then bind it to a human body?
I would need a lore specification explanation cause we can only provide speculation.
let's be honest, even ignoring duplicates, the canon's already gotten messy by virtue of us having 2 kagas now 
Azur Lane will just look like KanColle without any canon lore
there is a lore club, but I don't want to fry my brain
I am talking canon
I'm still going with the matrix theory
I donāt need more people to speculate with
Iāll wait till they provide me an answer
whole world's a computer simulation and shikikan's basically a glitch in the system that introduces element of unpredictability
what if I told you that even Yostar/Yongshi/Manjuu will not be able to provide a lore without/with little plot holes? 
then you have Alterprise who's basically Neo
she broke out of the matrix and then came back
No thanks
Matrix, well, I let my brain stop working...
we'll see if the anime decides to tackle any of the lore stuff
I might be okay with fusing the warship's essence into a human body, but what pinged me is... how can they acquire the correct girl for that purpose, and how can they clone them?
for the time being I'm sticking with matrix theory
It at least explains the role of sirens in orchestrating the conflict and how they treat any encounters with shipgirls as a simulation
I really want to see a computer like that 
a supercomputer that can emulates the notion of shipgirls and friends

I wonder when Purin or Bulin will get a skin.
Either never or as an April Fools joke 
^same

how many points have you all accumulated so far?

Value!
in this event
I just hit 50k. I did not get time to farm points this weekend. I don't think I am making 100k before event ends lol
We still have half the event, so if you hit 50k, then you're on track for 100k 
Any gear recommendations for Kaga BB?
Your usual gear for BB should be okay 
cubes cubes cubes
(inb4 i get 0
)
yep
day xx of event
still not done with D2
out of laziness
ex will be easy though tbh


oh shit, I forgot. Fusou skin in the morning 
which one on Yamashiro
@next onyx : She's coming my man.
I've done it
I've farmed two whole belguns
that last BP didn't want to come....
MAINTENANCE TIME!!!
time to retreat from degeneral

lul
I got the boot

soon my akaga will have 25% damage reduction
Don't forget that the evasion skill doesn't affect plane suicide damage iirc
So, 25% aside from that
23%*

Shoukaku: Crane's Protection
Amagi: 1st & 2nd skill
Zuikaku: Gokkousen
Yuugure: Carrier Protection
Hatakaze: Mobile Fleet's Vanguard
Fortune: Flank Defence

Between Shoukaku and Zuikaku, who would you choose?
that's about 57% damage reduction
Shoukaku's design is better
She outclasses Zuikaku in looks and everyone knows it, deep inside
For some reason, I prefer ZuiZui
57% damage reduction for carriers
I know Shoukaku is beautiful af, but...

maybe I have been plaguing with Shoukaku NTR
uhh
the purer she is, the more corruption people tend to make her

barely anyone touches ZuiZui 
ahhh graf spee is coming out XD
Zui looks like yuzuriha from UNIEL
it literally says "server maintenance" when you boot up the game.


Hewwo 


...
a bit of an awkward joke
They definitely deserve the JoJo spam in degeneral for that
What ship is 5:50 construction time
5 sandys 
Welp, Amagi's barrage seems to have been unfixed TT

is amagi's barrage super small again?
looks like it

Is it supposed to be big or smol?
general is scary
It is indeed lol
I think her barrage is supposed to be big
her barrage looks messy. if i recall correctly, it's supposed to show a nice pattern
As I mentioned in general
now she just kinda poops it into the sea
It ain't a maint
If there is no bugs

Yeah man
yeah, the blue cross-shaped pattern is gone. it's a different barrage.
oh, well...

so what's the bug with Amagi again, exactly?
Barrage is being screwy
It's back to the narrow af mode š
oh
it reverted to tight choke shotgun mode
time to facefuck Poi with Amagi once more



Lol
@lone sinew 

my enty has 731 aviation
trying to figure out cv reload is confusing for me
I must grind for better gear 
Yeah I just need another 5* cuda
Since she's borrowing some of Enty's gear atm
Btw Shark
i give my barracuda to enty and my cranes
There is an Air Strike Calculator
I plan to mess around with hornet and enty together
With helena

that sounds like a good plan
i heard that hornet can do more damage than enty but only if both her skills activate 
Yeah if both proc
She easily eclipses enty

The only difference really
She reloads slightly slower
While having about 40 less avi
But when everything procs together
Things explode
i see...
But not gonna lie
She's been fun
Shame she doesn't get the attention enty does
I'm very excited to see her in the anime 

I think she will get more love
when people see her death


Like I read her skills when I first played and didn't think much because naturally didn't know much about the game at that time
But now that I've learned more
I was like

"How can I make this really dumb?"

it was fixed too quickly...
Lol
when i first played the game i seen her on the special construction banner
and i wanted her because she had a cowboy hat 
but i got enterprise and illustrious before i got her
I didn't actually get those two till later
I liked her because she was part of the story
but i did not really care because i didnt know that they were strong
Yeah design wise
Since the story was largely neglected, I lost interest
Loved her from the first moment I saw her in story
i thought that the AL devs were remaking the story to involve the sirens more 
because the WWII makes JP the bad guys but the game is too popular in JP so they dont want JP to be sad
They would have to warp history altogether if they don't want to be the bad guys
instead of that, they have the leverage to create a new independent universe altogether now so why not that?
an alternate universe
exactly
I mean technically
You could do the whole
"They are bad but being mind controlled"
Kind of stichk
the problem is how much of a semblance Azur Lane should have with real life history
and when this all should begin
it does not really matter to me
Honestly though
as long as i get to spend time with my cute botes 
The real question
Since it's currently doing the WWII
if it starts smack in the middle of world war 2, they cannot properly write themselves off as good guys and too early on would mean no development for the 4 main warring countries
indeed
they could take it to grace and embrace Japan's loss in the war
we would all be naval commanders...
it is what ultimately paved the way to their economical success and market domination

i hope that in the story of azur lane, the axis fleet will make friends with the allies fleet and focus on fighting with the sirens 
Agreed
Turns out
It was mind control all along
To fight the true villains


isnt akagi working with the sirens?
So can we say that Azur Lane could exist in the same universe as Red Alert 2?
It's a Yuri conspiracy

Mmmm, yuri
go wild
Easiest way to make it seem like the events happened
Without going off the continuity entirely
Mind control would be anti-climatic by modern standards
i do not really understand the story of azur lane well 
It would involve rewriting the whole story though otherwise
wouldn't it be much more exciting to see it as the sirens giving motivation for all the nations to fight each other?
but i thought that the sirens were running a simulation of WWII with the bote girls 
Or that too
they are
it's a simulation involving them redoing everything with various slight changes in the timeline of events
and i think the sirens are siding with the axis fleet to manipulate them to fight the allies fleet
it's very poorly plotted, which leaves room for improvement
Tbf the weirdest part
Why would they side with the Axis

so they can be bad guys
Considering how it went down
because the axis powers were the bad guys in real life
No that much I get
But wouldn't you want to side with the side that would win if you wanted data

History is written by the victors, after all
thinking about it does make me sad
thinking about it, if Japan won, the US wouldn't have such an iron grip on the world and we wouldn't all be degenerates
I'm not sure what's a bigger loss at this point
well

what ifs situations are interesting
Tbf the opposite end of that spectrum
indeed they are
Is the german nation at that time
Would have killed off most people
Because of that guy
I didn't make any assumptions that the Germans were on the same side with the Japanese
and the Germans were after the jews
its their collective belief at the time
the Russians were at war with the Germans, but only because of a wavering influence the Nazis had on the nation
I don't think Germany could've gotten far in their conquest with killing jews as the main drive
Was second class
everyone that wasn't Aryan
Remember that Hitler was a nutjob
Yeah and when you think about it
Imagine if he had won
I don't think most of us would be here talking today
His own men were repulsed by him after they've been shown the acts done by fellow nazis
remember when USA & UK tried to stop ww2 through appeasement
I'm not saying the what if for hitler's case
I was talking solely about Japan
they were on separate sides
Oh
uhh
Anybody remember the genius idea the US had about the gay bomb?
Just a friendly question
I mea a pheromone bomb that explodes in the atmosphere to cause extreme feeling of love and euphoria to those explosed to it...theoretically.
Oh you mean that bomb
Basically the idea was to make them sexually attracted to each other
I think that was almost revived for WW2's case
That would have been funny

so like this
america uses charm on world
it's super effective
well the jap would fight to the last man against an invasion
that bomb is actually pretty much the only way to end the war

without further bloodshed
there's nukes, and then there's that
Tbf Mk
Straight men, beware
I know

I mean america did try and use fire bombs but they would just rebuild
they are just the vocal minority
but is it gay if X's and Y's are being mixed in weird variations?
its a genetic disease
I could very well call them their own species of gay
or

genetic imperfection
or just call it preference turned into collective protest
I know a few gay dudes who are cool, but tumblr has ultimately ruined my view of them
amagi coughs cus she is not of Aryan engineering
I doubt
ye probably not
I hope the commander is a giant memer in the AL anime
Alien invaders have a sexual attraction to the US and Japan
The rest of us would be largely ignored, according to movies and anime
welp gtg
and invading another planet for any kind of resources
cya later
is rather
See ya, Shark

not that effective anyway
I doubt the aliens would stay long after seeing how far we've regressed since our ancestors
we barely even have the overall resources to get out of this planet anyway
Sexy aliens come here to choose their mates
ew


Jailbait
Worth!

But really now, too many lolis. It's getting harder to play in public with every update.

Lol
wait until you see the other 200 lolis

this game is not called loli lane for nothing
its literally a kindergarten at this point
Jail Lane!
I think of it as a daycare center
Why else would the military police circle the dock like sharks?
Also, a thought I had before
Did you guys see Gren?
We're a Naval force supported by the government
an actual adult DD
A not-loli DD
DD
but then you have grenville as your home

So yeah, why isn't the government paying for our shit in the AL universe?
@oblique mantle Best meido just became 20% more cool https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DxZy908U0AEf2x2.jpg
that was posted like 5 minutes ago
Good to see your memory still works 
is that like a Princess Principal reference ? 

the skin's called Cloak & Dagger
it's definitely a spy reference but not sure if it's neccessarily PP reference
her facial expressions are amazing tho
100% pure, unfiltered sheffield 
I can feel the scolding on my spine just looking at it
atago made a jojoke 
in the event mini story for kisas new skin

A cat is fine too
long island should get Indiana Jones jojo as a skin cus she's a neet
so the command killed polnareffs sister?
why not beyond heaven ascended dio 
what if the sirens made the faction commanders able to fight back against enemy shipgirls
like the commanders are the perfection of human evolution

ehh







that stay
