  1. I know I shouldn't say this seeing as how I'm dead, but I never told JB anything.

    We could also just ask Life for confirmation of my story, bro. honestly, this display is kind of pathetic.

    EDIT: please don't kill me, I edited something in carelessly, but edited it back out immediately because I don't want to get modkilled in my first game

  2. People, please factor in the following possibility:

    I witnessed Life dissing Psych only a short while after he got killed, in IP chat. Life was going on about how much psych sucked because he told JB (who was mafia) that he was resurrector after JB sent him like a single PM. It's possible that JB though something along the lines of "let's contact the idiots and see what they're willing to share" and thus contacted Slayer too.

  3. I guess we can all sort of agree both mafia's started out with 3-4 members, whether or not they were equal in number. This means Humans have now numbers equal to celestial, or one more, aka an advantage over the other mafia.

  4. Titania has to kill the fighter that drops the hand axe, then equip that hand axe and attack the boss with it. She'll kill him the next phase. Also, don't try to rely on criticals for boss killing when you don't even have a weapon with a good innate crit rate. If 4 turns is what you can get for chapter 4, then you'll have to be really lucky to get anything lower than that. And that would just be wasting time.

    Also, if you're up to the same point as me, how is your current total turncount?

  5. Hello gents, I come with the first draft chapter results :awesome:

    I have played through earlygame aka prologue - chapter 8. And someone really needs to tell me how to do this code thing properly because it's highly confusing. Because of that, I will only talk about my strategy and the turn count

    Prologue: 4 turns

    Did the usual 4 turn strategy

    chapter 1: 3 turns

    turn 1: Ike gets fighter band, attacks fighter. Titania gets paladin band, attack fighter and runs up. turn 2: Ike runs up, Titania gets seraph robe and runs towards boss. turn 3: Tits kills boss, Ike seizes

    chapter 2: 5 turns

    This chapter was quite a bitch, because so much depended on the RNG not screwing me over.

    turn 1: Rhys goes stand in the corner, Oscar rescues Boyd and stands next to him. Ike runs right and uses the seraph robe. turn 2: Ike runs left and uses a vulnerary. turn 3: Titania kills the bandit and runs up to the boss, Ike uses a vulnerary. turn 4: Ike goes out and kills one of the remaining fighters, the other one unfortunately ran. Titania kills the Bandit close to her and moves into boss range. turn 5: Ike kills the final fighter, tits kills the boss.

    A 4 turn could have been possible if I could at some point afford to attack with Ike instead of heal and I had the steel sword.

    chapter 3: 4 turns

    Overall easy chapter.

    turn 1: Ike goes left and attacks bandit, Gatrie goes north. Titania kills fighter east of her and then goes north. turn 2: Ike walks up north, Gatrie attacks a bandit, titania kills the archer and canto's to the ship. turn 3: Everybody moves up to the ship, Titania kills fighter that drops the hand axe and moves up to boss. turn 4: titania hurts boss, kills him on EP, Ike talks to Marcia to recruit her.

    I might have gotten the Elixer if I had Gatrie walk to the house containing it on turn 3 and 4. Having it could have shaved a turn off chapter 7, so meh

    chapter 4: 2 turns

    Again, easy chapter

    turn 1: Rhys runs up, Shinon runs up next to him and rescues him. Soren also runs up. Titania kills the myrmidon and moves west. Gatrie kills first soldier. Ike hangs back. turn 2: Titania equips hand axe and attacks boss. Gatrie kills a soldier, Ike kills an archer. Boss gets killed on EP.

    Since you can't one turn it, this is the lowest turncount possible for this chapter.

    chapter 5: 6 turns

    Again an easy chapter. It would have been nice if you could end the chapter by killing the boss, because I killed him on turn 4.

    turn 1: useless characters run east. Gatrie takes the west opening and uses the speedwing. Titania goes south, Ike stays on the defense tile. turn 2: Gatrie stays east and kills the hammer fighter. Ike stays on his tile, Titania kills an archer and stays put. turn 3: Gatrie runs up and kills the cav near Ike, Ike stays where he is. Titania kills a soldier with the hand axe and runs down. turn 4: Titania kills the boss after damaging on EP. After that it was just sitting my turns out.

    chapter 6: 9 turns

    Hardest chapter yet. Gatrie left me for this chapter to make it much harder.

    turn 1: all useless units run up, titania kills the javelin soldier. Ike goes right. turn 2: titania kills the archer and canto's east, Ike moves east. turn 3: titania kills the mage and moves to the bridge, Ike kills the poleax cavalier. turn 4: ike moves south and heals, titania kills the knight and moves further south. turn 5: titania kills the mage, ike moves down and heals. turn 6: titania moves next to the boss after killing an archer, Ike moves towards the escape. turn 7: titania kills the boss, ike heals and crawls forward. turn 8 and 9 was getting Ike to the escape tile and ending

    I also tried going along the west bridge, but then all the enemies from the right side would come at me in one big wave so I ended up getting the same turncount while putting Ike a greater risk. If I had the elixer, I wouldn't have as much problems with Ike taking lots of hits and could have used his full move every turn to reduce turncount. I could now try to let Titania rescue him and carry him for the entirety of the chapter, exp gains be damned.

    chapter 7: 8 turns

    Not too difficult, didn't write down exactly what I did, so I'm gonna list the general strategy.

    had Titania first kill the doods near the armorslayer chest, then on turn 2 took care of doods in the north then had titania run to the chests on the left while Ike stayed around the armorslayer chest. On turn 3 or 4, I placed all undrafted characters in the armorslayer room. Gatrie and Shinon came around, and I had Gatrie kill stuff and at turn 7 or so I had him rescue shinon and continue killing stuff. At this point Titania went and killed the boss and the enemies around him. All fit into a neat little package of 8 turns

    I doubt I could have gotten lower turns on this chapter, but maybe a 7 turner is possible.

    chapter 8: 8 turns

    Not really a hard chapter or special strategy. Titania rescues Ike and sits on the defense tiles for 8 turns. It's not like I can do anything else when I only have 2 characters. Didn't manage to get the red gem, which is a waste. But hey, what can you do?

    Total turncount at the moment: 49

    I'm quite sure zhaoyun and Paper can get a turncount of 5 less than mine in the same chapters. Especially now I've given them so much info on what to do.

    Current levels:

    Ike: 11

    Titania: 6

    Gatrie: 13

    BEXP: 1770

  6. He would've been useful to me and Spoon since only we can recruit him without the risk of taking penalties. But considering you(zhao) can't lowturn his joining map(no earlygame fliers or mages) he might've been a decent pick for you.

  7. Miles Davis, Chick Corea and John Coltrane are good strating points for most people. Frankly, I don't really care about those aforementioned people. I'm more into the stuff Dave Brubeck made, Xploding Plastix and Hiromi's Sonicbloom. Gonna triple post for examples of these people.

    First off a song by Xploding Plastix. Xploding Plastix has a bit of a noir style.

    Secondly, an oldie but goodie from Dave Brubeck's quartet

    And finally Hiromi Uehara. Japanese and jazz is a combination you don't often see, but this Japanese woman plays the jazz piano like it's nobody's business.
