LET'S PLAY something really messed up

[Parrhesia]

[spoiler=Session 2b]

SK has a thing for Maru except he doesn't, or vice versa, or something.

I guess I really am a fan of the KeKeKe's technique.

...

I cannot believe I just said that.

One batch of kiddy-fiddlers annihilates the other, and we capture Mochalord.

A productive use of Ashikaga's turn. They plot behind our backs to make us say sorry. OH NO

...

I choose to interpret this as an IOU.

60 gold is slightly less than the collective value of my shit on a daily basis. Manure's valuable, y'know. So whatever, I'll hand it off to him. In ... liquid assets. I think. Is the term. Maybe.

...

Basically I don't have the dudes to fight him off.

Rance is slowly learning diplomacy.

I don't think this is historically accurate to the real-life Tokugawa clan, somehow.

Whatever, Alvin and the Chipmunk Brigade here don't scare me.

But here's the king of Stalingrad himself! Nagahide doesn't give a shit, though.

... and the fight goes poorly for them. I capture both his captains.

You've done me proud, SK.

I have three captured dudes, now. A warrior with bad stats and no special, a monk with pretty good stats and a heal, and a KKK member.

Ranmaru's still unimpressed with Rance. As a result she's sealed her place as the only character with lines I unironically like.

Tokugawa uses their action well. Hara doesn't attack, oddly. They recruit a Tactician instead.

The Saddle Club tries to get more money out of me. Rance makes good on his earlier threat.

I think he might be mad.

Hi?

uh

I find out something unfortunate in the following scene.

FURETCHEN'S MEDICAL HISTORY

You see, I'm epileptic. So things rapidly flashing across the screen makes for fun times.

Guess how Skip Scene functions in this game. That's right, by going through each screen as fast as possible.

Now, I've last had a seizure ... probably two years ago. I had three in a fairly short space of time... about two months or so. Anyway, I'm medicated and haven't relapsed since.

But even so, things flashing across the screen very rapidly for more than about a second really trips me out, and ... basically I can't cope with it. So this means I'm playing through the entire game without Skip Scene.

Also, if I DID have a seizure because of it, this would be really fucking hard to explain.

And this happens somehow. I go with Rance Attack, I guess.

Oh, and I recruited the weak warrior because I could do it with just the tactician.

The Ninjas ream my archers, but the spearmen annihilate themselves on MY spearmen.

Oh no, it's X R! Fuck!

Rance attack proves effective.

Andy hates our glorious leader less now.

Meanwhile, The Saddle Club marches on Watford and is repulsed.

The Cupid Brigade heals 15 of their warriors. Which is kind of pathetic.

This is not a tough fight. I capture Bald Guy, who henceforth I shall call Kevin.

I hate this game.

Have I mentioned that? Yeah. And Rance still had sex with her and almost induced a seizure in me.

She joins us. Nin-nin!

Actually, is that a thing that overly cutesy ninja just do in Japan? I recall Angel Chick from Disgaea making similar sounds as she attempted to be stealthy once. Or something.

That was a weird game.

Meanwhile, I launch the final attack on Hara's capital...

Think I missed it, but that guy's battlecry was "Please stop wasting money, Aki-sama!"

While I was typing that, King Hara wasted my entire army. This may not have been the best day for me to bring along my useless warrior for free EXP.

They prove just too much for me.

These guys? Not so much.

Ashikaga reacts to losing by ... I don't even know.

I BEGIN MY NEXT TURN WITH

...

FURETCHEN'S VIEW ON ABSTRACT ARTWORK

I've never really been fond of abstract artwork. I mean, I know it claims to represent nothing (I think so, anyway) but... I don't know, I'm torn between my deeply-held belief that art for art's sake is a noble purpose and the idea that there is a certain, arbitrary level at which that cuts itself off. It was discussed often and at great length in Philosophy, and I never really had that much to say about it.

I'm fond of the abstract art that is beautiful, but that which is crude and simplistic to prove a point? That's never really cut ice with me.

FUN FACT: Returning to this in editing to add the fact that in like six hours I've forgotten who he's sleeping with.

Please don't come in here to tell me. I'm better off pretending it's someone who isn't a slave.

The next battle goes far better. I capture both archer captains, and a cutscene happens.

This one, to be exact.

Cold.

Rance will probably take his... spoils, from his conquest. Just warning you.

whaaaaaat did I tell you.

You know, kid, respect for wasting my entire army in one move earlier. We'll go far.

[Parrhesia]

[spoiler=Session 2c]The next scene hap- Jesus christ, why?

FURETCHEN'S THOUGHTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT

I'll admit, I'm not 100% convinced it's really that important an issue. I'm somewhere in the nineties as to whether it'll affect anything that noteworthy, and hovering around the 50/50 mark as to whether it'll be catastrophic.

And I don't like those odds.

Like it or not we're gonna have to do something, because just sitting around hoping the world DOESN'T collapse on itself is weak and pathetic, and we just can't do that. This doesn't, however, mean we all have to start ditching cars in favour of bicycles. Those are extreme measures. I do, however, support a general drive towards the advancement of road-feasible electric cars... because like hell are there any out there now.

Those that outright deny its existance, however, are fools. And bluntly, they (and for that matter, I will admit my own lack of knowledge) know less science than fucking climate scientists. The simple fact is that everythingisilluminati.tumblr.net knows less than a fucking world-class laboratory, and always will.

Meanwhile a rebellion fails.

Because the king walks in and fucking stabs everyone.

I like this man.

Damn straight, Jowl Commando.

I strike into Saddle Club lands, where they are deep into planning their defence. Badly.

Most of the strategy revolves around thingy's breasts, so they end up deciding to match our thousand dudes with just under three hundred, lead by a child.

It works out well for us. We capture the girl.

The enemy commander is revealed. Hopefully she can avoid sleeping with Rance. Hopefully.

A good fighter, I'll grant you, but... not good enough.

Not nearly good enough.

Calling it a day here. It's been well too much.

[Integrity]

Yeah, you need to get a better translation or something. When I saw the values for the commanders equal P, Q, S, etc. I actually had a nice chuckle. Gotta make sure you get at least P0 to declare war. >__>

I think that's just a relic of not changing system localization to Japanese, not of the patch.

[Esau of Isaac]

It is probable that Suzume ends her sentences with "nin," not having played the game in Japanese. Characters that are flippant or played for laughs in Japan tend to use some short relevant sound added to the end of their sentences. For example, Dekomori from Chuunibyou tends to add "デス" (death) at the end of every one of her sentences, or nearby.

almost always adds ってばよ (ttebayo) at the end of everything he says. It's just a thing some characters have in Japan. IT BUILDS CHARACTER JEEZ.

And Rance doesn't have sex with Isoroku unless you go far out of your way to do it. There are feels related with her story. ;__;

[nflchamp]

I think that's just a relic of not changing system localization to Japanese, not of the patch.

It is. O = 0, P = 1, Q = 2, etc. Not that hard to read, actually, so I can't claim to have bothered changing local.

[Parrhesia]

[spoiler=Session 3a]

You know something?

I really hate myself. I must do, to put myself through this. I don't get a chance to find out what the KeKeKe are preparing because Mitsubishi oneshots them.

Why are you even trying?

[152]

We capture their warrior and spearman.

Time to attack once-

-more. ... Oh dear.

I put up a good show of it, but...

They're just too much. I capture their ninja and diviner, though.

Assassination oneshots a unit. Woo.

Uh.

Anyway, we repulse them.

This can only end poorly.

The scene is actually just really boring except for this line.;

My turn again and I'm broke. Well, fuck. I replenish my dudes as much as possible, then...

Pray for the best.

I lose. Just.

But that right there? That's good news.

Hm... neither side's giivng much ground. I could and probably should just dig in, rest and recover my troops...

But that would be giving up.

How are you the SECOND person to tell me that today?

Victory-

FURETCHEN'S THOUGHTS ON THE SUPERNATURAL

Simply put, I don't believe in ghosts, or aliens, or any of that crap. I mean, granted, you show me a scientific goddamn proof and I will swallow that shit up, but I just don't think that's happening anyday soon.

I'll say this much, though, I am oddly superstitious. Like, I wear a certain stone around my neck, and it feels wrong not to have it with me. That kind of thing.

Anyway I recruit a really good generic spearman, whose name shall be Guy Flying Backwards. Guy, for short.

Shoeshins writes to some people and gets rejected.

Meanwhile, in Texas, the Circlejerks faction thinks we're savages or sth

can't really blame them

They send a messenger.

...

With a girl.

As a present.

Rance, you cannot do negotiation. Please hire a diplomat or something.

YES WE REALISE THIS

GOD

I'm really fucking sick of EVERY SCENE mentioning that Rance is a sadistic rapist, so I'm not even mentioning Yamamoto's recruitment; suffice to say she refuses to sleep with Rance, and is therefore the third character on my side I actually LIKE.

And I accidentally recruited a named

I just thought she'd be a generic

Also she's like the only attractive woman in the entire land and she can't talk or some shit

I don't fucking know

she's a healer

Oh fuck she is good.

LET'S PLAY, MOTHERFUCKER

DO NOT TRY ME.

LET'S ROLL

oh wow reduced to 314/650

do you have, like

negative defence

Oh wow

Respect.

Kousaka Baelish, your extreme smugness grants you respect as well.

You're just fucking incredible.

Expecting someone as great as Lady Tamagotchi, I recruit this guy. I am sorely, sorely disappointed.

They might just be fucked.

Gathered Footmen... sounds like they're just sending out their peasants.

That's a lot of leadership and troopcount.

The Saddle Club is desperately reinforcing, and recruits about 4 commanders and 500 men. Bringing them up to under a thousand and a half. They're... they're fucked.

Light Blue attacks the Takedas.

They are lead by Joan of Arc.

I think they might be mad.

Anyway, Joan pulverises Takeda's forces. Meanwhile, back in Ashigawa lands...

Fmomo is killed. She will be missed.

And immediately afterwards;

eh

ok

A NEW FACTION ARISES (the green triangle dudes)

Man, one day I want to have a city called Kazusa 2000.

don't fuck her don't fuck her don't fuck her don't fuck her

CACK

WHY

[Parrhesia]

[spoiler=Session 3b]

Oh, THAT'S a given.

That's it. Time to take the castle

Oh bullshit.

STOP TRYING

YOU ARE SHIT

Meanwhile, west of here...

It's the Nazis.

And it's another capital fight against the Saddle Club.

YOU AREN'T EVEN FULLY HEALED

FUCK YOU ALL

I'LL BITE OFF YOUR TESTES

Tremble, fat man. I WILL have your hat.

Predictably, I win.

RANCE THIS IS NOT HOW WE DO DIPLOMACY

Then he fucks some twins.

FURETCHEN'S BELIEFS ON FREE-TO-PLAY MMORPGS

My MMO of choice is LOTRO. Always has been. Well... I played WoW through Lich King, but Cataclysm kinda sucked and Mists' a fuckin' joke.

Now, LOTRO went free-to-play a few years back. It immediately quadrupled its profits, and players can basically spend as much as they want to get the experience they want. They don't have to get boosts they don't want to pay for. Sounds fair enough to me.

But I kinda ... something seems off about it. See, LOTRO was all about the /experience/. Going through the Shire for the first time, immersion, that sort of thing. The feeling that you were an active part of a world you knew. But this... I dunno, I don't want to kill Saruman only to see "YOU HAVE JUST EARNED 10 TURBINE POINTS!!!!" on my dash suddenly. I will however admit that it's neat that you can buy expansions through in-game questing. Overall, though, actually playing LOTRO for free would be fuckin' crippling, even WITH the expansions and nothing else. I don't even think you can ride a horse without an expansion. Which means you have to walk from place to place. Without swift travel.

And that just sucks, bluntly.

And... and now Minecraft is after me.

Dear god.

Don't worry, Gank will take care of it. Seriously, holy shit.

Sadly, my healer is a woman of her word.

FURETCHEN'S BELIEFS WITH REGARD TO WHITE LIES

I think that with regards to lying the end justifies the means. It is a common philosophical belief that lies are wrong in and of themselves; however, as some guy put it, "If an axe murderer opens your door and asks where your wife and children are, is it wrong to lie?"

No. Fuckin' exactly.

So there's Freys to our north, Minecraft to our north west, Ninjas to the west and Nazis on the southwest. Personally I'm gonna take out the single factions first.

This guy is hired by Nobby. Because Nobby's a demon now, didn't y'all know?

anyway turns out the fat man killed Yamamoto's brother or sth so Yamamoto needs an heir

THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE, RANCE

THANK GOD FOR ARBITRARY RACISM.

A few turns later I go on the offensive.

Jesus christ why didn't I do this earlier

Uh?

Ok, whatever, Jehanne. We're LITERALLY SEPERATING you from the other side of the continent. To help us would literally involve invading us.

or... you could be fucking incredible. That's another option. Yes.

Anyway, presenting Matsuo Basho, with perhaps my favourite name of all time.

Don't mess with Texas.

Hi.

Oh, c'mon, oppressing the Nazis is the only semi-good thing Rance has ever done. Kinda like a reverse Holocaust.

Cultists, fascists, same diff.

BACK TO THE WAR

Did you know they can swarm me with dogs

because I didn't

...

ow

...

Whatever, they're low on manpower and we can take 'em.

Very, very easily. Did I mention that this took two turns? One to declare war and take their first province, the other two to take their final two provinces. It was very effective indeed; they didn't get the chance to rest or recover.

I'd prefer to show respect to the women.

And with that, the All-Shuriken are defeated once and for all.

Texans have low expectations.

This guy's pissed. Another Takeda general, apparently. Takeda seems to be at war with everyone in the east; no water off my back.

Anyway, that was session 3, in which we blitzed an entire fucking country in four battles. Tomorrow... maybe I'll be in less of a foul mood.

[nano]

Ah, the cherry blossom. Looking back at that scene after playing Rance 8, only now I realise how twisted the producers truly are.

Anyway, if something warrants a specific picture made for it, you bet it'd be important (if boring).

Good read so far, I particularly enjoy the rage parts.

Edit: what happened to my Elincia badge

Edited January 17, 2013 by nano

[Balcerzak]

It looks like you captured 56 before the plot event where she would start causing you autolosses if you brought Rance into battle. Lucky and convenient for you.

The Takeda generals are universally badass, I am glad you approve.

[Parrhesia]

The hell is 56... ?

[Integrity]

I think he meant Isoroku.

(balcerzak what the fuck is 56)

[Balcerzak]

Sorry, that is in-slang. 五十六 (Isoroku), is written using the exactly same characters as go juu roku (五十六), which is literally how you say 56.

[Ether]

Sorry, that is in-slang. 五十六 (Isoroku), is written using the exactly same characters as go juu roku (五十六), which is literally how you say 56.

You and your Beta tester slang.

[Parrhesia]

[Esau of Isaac]

... And you expected that I of all people would know that?

Furetchen, you kisama. Why don't you know Nippongo like the rest of us cool kids man

[Excellen Browning]

Interesting read so far.

I will blindly recommend recruiting some random commanders from your prison early on, especially the spearmen. They can be used as non-combat slaves (aka use those instead of better characters to declare wars and the such) and if you get some spearmen they can be used to defend. I also recommend you request reinforcement as Rance's satisfaction bonus as often as you can, although increasing action fans is the absolute best bonus to get and should be prioritized above all else.

Edited January 18, 2013 by Daigoji Excellen

[Esau of Isaac]

Yeah, now that I'm able to use five action fans the prospect of playing a game without all of them terrifies me. o___o

[nano]

Yeah, now that I'm able to use five action fans the prospect of playing a game without all of them terrifies me. o___o

It's really pointless though... I feel like three is enough to do everything in an adequate timeframe already and four is extra freedom. Five is just... lots of empty fans with nothing to do.

Two fans is really annoying though.

[Integrity]

I never found much use for Rizna or Magic or whatever the fuck the ninja's name was. EDIT: Kaname?

Uruza's great and should never be missed (but I gather he's en route to Uruza now) and Leila is like top 5 units ever but you have to suck up getting that ninja and Maria, who IME is kinda mediocre.

Agree. But Leila and Kuruza are definitely worth it. Also IIRC Kaname starts out with a high unit number, which makes her a good candidate for the action permits.

Oh and before I forget, when you level up your relationship with Isoroku, you can give her a skill that IIRC is called whirlwind shot. What this does is it turns her normal attack into an attack that hits a unit on the first row, as well as the guy straight behind it. Your target will also never get guarded and so can be used to reliably kill those pesky diviners to stop them from casting guard shikigami's and those shikigami attacks.

Edited January 18, 2013 by Daigoji Excellen

[Integrity]

I've already coached him on Isoroku and the point of having Uruza (dat red attack), as well as most other things

[Balcerzak]

I thought he'd been getting coaching. My first run I neglected to get a Prison until about turn 20, and was confused when everybody was telling me I should recruit more commanders. I was all "...from where?"

Good times, good times.

Also, Leila top 5? I just can't see it.

Chinu, Natori, Omachi, and Ootomo Sourin have her beat on ability to do massive damage to all units on the field.

Yamagata and Baba Shouen definitely outclass her ability to deal damage, and come with the flexibility to hit both lines, Fuurinkazan, and morale manipulation skills.

Kenshin, Uruza, Ikkyu, are special cases for their ability to effect action fans and Reversal of Fortune. (Though I believe Kenshin outclasses her in damage output as well).

Shimazu Kazuhisa, and Himiko may arguable outperform her as well.

[Integrity]

You should know by now that most of my talents lie in hyperbole, Dr. B.

[Parrhesia]

[spoiler=Session 4a]Welcome again once more to Orgasm Battle: Minge of the Black Queen. Eventually I will run out of puns, and silently rejoice.

Demonobby still has it in for the Tenshi.

He's a thorough motherfucker, too.

Ranmaru is overcome by emotion.

those monks are sort of

an entire nation

Right, skullfucking time.

3G is as thrilled as I am about all this.

I'm cool with this. I have two Action Mans. They have two cities. Hostile Tenshions are going down.

Peasants? Fuckin' really?!

Also I hired a diviner. Let's see how this all works out.

Bald Andy reams the enemy.

And we take the city.

There's another attempt on Rance's life, and it's frankly pathetic.

would it kill you to NOT

You know, I really don't think these guys deserve to be called Nazis when we're the ones who have committed... literally every war crime in this.

Oh... this could be rough.

...

oh wait four of them are peasants

Their dudes look really cool, I gotta give 'em that

{ suo commits suocide.

Ultimately though, they stand no chance.

I take the city. Rance immediately sleeps with someone. *sigh* I really should be used to it by now.

Anyway, Takeda's on the offensive again

Sadly they fail. Üsagi have locked 'em into a stalemate.

They've launched an attack on Galatasaray and I have sweet F.A. to defend it with; not that I care, I'll get the city back when I obliterate them.

meanwhile a schoolgirl seeks the help of the monks.

OKAY. HOLD UP.

LOOK AT HER.

FUCKEN...

okay

right, I've already forgotten your plotline, and I'm already going to avenge you.

Have I mentioned that I hate this fucking game yet?

Oh no! Not the Victory Tongue Order!

Oh no.

THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS

That's our maximum unit sizes

those sons

of CUNTS

Well, Rance/maru aren't affected permanently or whatever.

Maybe 'accept reinforcements' will bring me joy.

Dumbshit name aside, I could get used to her. And her dislocated left arm.

[264]

You're on the team, kid.

I waste a turn beating off a riot. Rance spends his turn beating off.

...

I'm not gonna comment.

They try to stall me out; Consumer repeatedly uses Advance to advance the central timer. We edge out what should've been an easy win.

Takeda... draws with Houjou.

Huh... I saw these guys before. In the Allstars, I think. BEFORE I PULVERISED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.

you do realise you've already lost, right

Stay classy, Rance.

Quite a specific prayer...

Uh.

Anyway, I don't quite take the province. Their cities are all fortified, and all pains in the ass.

Anyway, that kid flees to Tokugawa lands.

And that, fortunately, cuts both ways. Our forces are evenly matched AND we have overwhelming home ground advantage.

I take down their king at leisure.

V uKouaki had pretty massive attack, and pretty pathetic defence. Particularly when there were three of them.

The First Reich remains ours.

NAZI POPE WHY

We're at war! You can't just take our shit without a fight!

...

or apparently you can

THIS IS LESS THAN OPTIMAL

I have yet to see the game in which letting riots happen is good.

Let's face it, they aren't going to wrest the First Reich from me, so I attack them with all the forces at my disposal. Now, if they try to take back Austria... I can afford a loss there. One loss.

And now the Second Reich is ours.

[Parrhesia]

[spoiler=session 4b]

Demonobby, I'd say 'we do not stoop to assassins', except... people keep trying to assassinate Rance. So I'd say it's cool.

... and you still failed?

Nazi Pope lacks the forces to try and attack.

I do not fear him.

I crush his forces. The trusty men and women of Watford sweep into the enemy camp.

I swear I've heard weebs say this about Japanese-to-English translations before...

The Nazi Pope is in hiding.

Oh no.

Rance, she's like sixteen, look at her, why are you doing this

Mercifully there's no CG, unlike when I took Austria.

...

Dokkomo, you're out of a fucking job.

ahhhhj.

FURETCHEN'S THOUGHTS ON OPENING DRINK CANS

I have pretty short, stubby nails, so generally I use my teeth if they can't get it. If I'm buying the drink out of a vending machine I like to use the change I get back to open the drink. I'd say a 20c piece is ideal for the task; 50c is just too clunky, and 10c is too small, almost fragile.

Well, my hunch was right. Now that Nazi Pope's out of a job, my lands have stopped rioting.

My first monk, and a pretty solid little chap with two hundred and fifty dudes. 6 attack, and if that doesn't work out.... 8 construction. Him and one of the spears have 15 between them.

Hm... Let's call for more reinforcements.

Why do we still let Rance do things that aren't combat

My choice... very possibly saves Watford from a war I don't want.

I WANT THAT BUTLER

YES.

Note, that's not a CG. That's his default image and you can see the background behind him in the topleft.

Why is it always maids? There's three of 'em, but Kikkawa's the sauciest. She shares a name with someone who I fucking loathe, but I can overlook that.

This is really where Rance belongs...

UNICYCLE CAVALRY.

FUCK YES.

Thus ends turn 30.

Meanwhile in demon sidestory adventures this chick kills someone

Given her unique choice of apparel I'm uncertain if this post will be able to stand if I have a non-opaque textbox screen.

Oh?

Yuzuhara joins Ranmaru in the 'Sullen and would be reasonable if she was wearing pants Battalion.'

Rance demanded a woman. A woman he has received. Please don't sleep with the representative from the Minecraft embassy, Rance. Please? At least not until we've obliterated her entire kingdom?

...

I really hope muskets don't rely on skill. At all.

Oh, sweet.

I'll take that, mate.

Watford vs. Redwall. Let's do this shit.

Generally 'winning' is a pretty sound strategy, yeah...

I find it difficult to take their forces seriously. Nevertheless, with a fortress backing 'em, this'll be a tough fight...

...

Furetchen discovers muskets are not a ranged weapon.

Furetchen loads.

Then I fucking ream their forces.

Something kills themself on Rance. Have you figured out I'm just showcasing how ridiculous everything looks by now?

Ungh...

It's HobbiTon, and they're lead by Paddlepop Stick Boy! I accidentally skiped their intro. No idea what their forces are like.

They... they're attacking in force. I can take them, though, I haven't been assembling a competent B-Team for nothing.

Those are ... that's a Hara pike battalion!

Three hundred and one casualties in a single volley. I think me and musketeers could begin to have an understanding. We repel the foe and capture the monk.

I do not comment.

This nation deserves to be purged and I know nothing about them.

I WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN ON YOUR PATHETIC KINGDOM.

I've taken to using Andy as a scout. 210 archers aren't cutting it, this stage of the game.

Pre- and post- divination. Andy II's here to stay, folks.

oh.

what.

I will take Redwall castle before the session ends.

[

... Next turn.

I was originally in favour of the quote and then I realised it was because she loves him

SIGH

Iga's back.

...

That was a cutscene conquer.

no.

First you take 20% of my main forces. Then you incite all my cities to riot, then TWENTY SEVEN SURVIVORS constitute a victory, and now ...

I'm out. I'm done. I'll crush Tokugawa and then turn on Iga.

WHY
