I picked Guybrush in the Oracle Challenge, too, but then again I enjoy being bold rather than trying to make good picks, only to screw up. And THAT is why I am #19 today and will be like #80 tomorrow. ;)

Thank goodness I didn't team with you

I could never join forces with a dirty Guybrush picker.

Hahaha... I may have been a joke in contests past, but now Lopen is invincible!

I must thank you, Leonhart, I needed a protagonist opposite myself that the people could get behind...so I could crush him. Then drag his defeated body and use it as an instrument to beat the competition into submission.

I shall rule this #1 for all time!

These "king" based kanji are pretty easy to remember for some reason. One of the few groups where I got "good" for most of them rather than "hard" after the first day. Which is nice because I'm having some trouble with the "opium" ones and some other ones recently.

Oh huh I guess so, even though that wasn't my intent at all when I thought of the possible connotations of the name. Self fulfilling naming prophecy at work.

Not that you've been doing bad yet but I can't help but grimace about Kirby vs Meta Knight with 51% or whatever you had em at.

So uh what's going on here exactly. Is it CM Punk vs Ultimate Warrior or is this just a skipped round cause it didn't really "go up"

I actually don't think it's going to make a difference but maybe CM Punk wins on SD

There are very few pre-battle abilities that are tantamount to kos that aren't kos themselves, though. The Fury, maybe. I can't think of any others. That's why I went into start of battles when that came up.

And yeah Jake was a much bigger disadvantage than Sparrow

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

All pre-selected KOs are broken unless there's a huge drawback. I stand by this, and we won't see much of any direct KO abilities in the next game if I have anything to say about it. Doomguy's ability was also too good, but not broken cause of the randomness and Doomguy being able to screw himself. Abilities "tantamount to KOs" are not the same thing at all because it requires rostering (of both the shooter and the target) and isn't going to work in every situation. Leaving interpretation in the mix is a dangerous idea.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Yeah except Sparrow is good for more than countering. I'm just saying, for as crazy as Gallows's ability was, you foot a huge recharge after using it, and if you KO the guy who's getting extended or counter the extended thing or what have you it's all for nothing. And his combat worth was nothing special. Gallows is arguably not even top 10.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Well he is pretty old.

Sorry. Someone had to say it.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

He's definitely in the top 10 at worst. I think closer to top 5, personally.

Gallows is an instant win but that recharge is pretty vicious. And you know who can counter it? Sparrow. I'd say Sparrow is better.

Rudy's "KO" was start of battle, which is a significant drawback in some ways.

But yeah Rudy goes on that list too.

--

This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Pre-selected KOs are broken by default unless their drawback is something ridiculous like Luca Blight's. Never mind it being on a 3/day dude who had decent combat worth. Sparrow is in the running for most broken merc in the game I think. Behind Alchemist and Jim Raynor and maybe Seymour.

Athough I suppose I'm underselling Chris a bit. His arguments definitely helped him a good deal (Drak who was somewhat lazy/ridiculous a lot of the time so I'm not sure how much he was helped by his) I just don't think it's the main reason he did well. Getting overpowered mercs will beat arguments every time.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Pre-selected? Yeap. 100%

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

Chris and Drak didn't do that well in this game, though. Not cause of their arguments, anyway. With Drak it was because of deals and loaded votes and with Chris it was because Sparrow was broken and because he inherited KJH's team that was really strong.

Yeah it's not an anime, though I'm pretty sure the creator admits to drawing inspiration from anime or some crap so it's not like there's a huge difference. It's also not like it matters.

The only way that works is if abilities were done in secret as the second person would always know what they would have to use to win.

And it's still miserable in concept to boot.

Not with some degree of randomness in the simulation or some obscuring of the exact mechanics it wouldn't be.

Anyway I'm not really saying it's a good idea just that it's possible in theory.

And I'm totally cool with being a LA Noire person here.

Well you still have to make purchases, declare on people, use abilities, pick rosters and terrain, assign exp. Match topics weren't a huge part of the time equation for mercs, really.

You usually do it when there's a point though. I don't recall you ever sniping a last minute vote when it didn't actually have any impact on the vote. Anyway, I'm just explaining why I have reasons to doubt your genuineness, I'm not trying to convince you to "admit" your votes weren't genuine, and I'm not expecting you to convince me that they were. Just saying that "I didn't vote" doesn't really mean anything because the way you vote usually has you abstaining by default unless you can change the outcome.

Also I think what Tom would prefer would be a bit (read as: alot) more complicated than that. For instance, say instead of just upkeep we had like 5 other stats-- melee skill, ranged skill, defense, hp, speed. You run those through a simulator that takes all those stats into account, weighing those based on terrain and stuff and what the enemy has. I'm not saying it's completely simple, but I bet there's a way to do it with enough stats (read as: more than 5).

Alternatively, they could just do nothing.

The Tag Titles have been forgotten about for much longer periods of time than 30 days before!

Just say "he got injured" and then just put them on deep freeze until December.

God I hope not. They're just starting to make the tag division feel somewhat legitimate again, the champions themselves being jobbers not withstanding. Miz/Truth, Kofi/Bourne, Swagger/Ziggler. They're not quite true tag teams, but they seem to be a hell of a lot closer to actual tag teams than ORTON AND CENA HAVE TEAMED UP FOR THE MAIN EVENT, and seem a lot more significant to the overarching wrestling scene than guys like The Hart Dynasty or Cryme Tyme did.

I actually on second thought don't even care about "subjective" as long as the "subjective" is based around the mercenaries and abilities and arguments used in the match and not allegiance meshes as Drak likes to call them.

Well we were considering for the roll issue, I just program a rolling thing that logs rolls made and their purpose, in addition to who made the roll. Basically lets players roll their own crap, and if they try to cheat by rerolling they'll be caught on it cause all the rolls are logged. Two birds with one stone-- makes rolling honesty no longer an issue and makes rolling quicker.

The declaration order we're still working on but a solution that we were thinking might work is

Randomize, swap, invert, swap, or something like that, so a guy would get

1
24
13
12

Basically you get a bad declaration order you're automatically due for a good one in time.

Mercs as a 40 day game, 24 leaders, with a double elimination final between the top 8 or 12 or so would be best I think. People didn't even really start getting sick of this game until the late 20s, early 30s or so. If this game were that short people wouldn't even have hated it much, in spite of bad admins and whatnot.
