i've got a couple of dumb questions before I roll Yuna's Aeon Search

- can I still roll abilities by myself with l00ster?
- has Yuna already found any Aeons for Corrik? I thought that she had at least got Anima from that massacre a couple weeks back

There's a discord chat for it now. It's THE FUTURE?!?
And Corrik has Anima

She has found Anima and Bahamut. She needs to refind Bahamut to make him yours.

Small corrections:

1. Samus didn't meet her bounty so she should get 1 recharge reduction on the bounty
2. Wrex met Yumizuru

That should be it.

Was gonna say I was unsure about the first one but it doesn't say her bounty needs to duck her while she's rostered as I thought. Will fix. Second one is to indicate which teams you tagged - the specific list of weekly tags is up to you and should go on the wiki probably.
---

number of remaining redrafts should probably be listed in standings (though, not urgent)
---

i miss l00ster

As much as I'd like Talk to still be up, any ability Strike Man nullifies still goes on cooldown according to the write-up.

Yuna does not find any Aeons :'(

This feels like it's missing 'without'

@Lopen is it intentional that Strikeman (http://mercs2015.pbworks.com/w/page/106366911/Strike%20Man) makes abilities go on full recharge? Or is it meant to do no recharge at all? It's trivial to fix if so but I wanna make sure this isn't another case of Shadowmanned language.

Yu dwells upon his inability to maintain his shadow form when it was time for combat. If he was acting "true" to himself, wouldn't the shadow stay with him, always? Was he always doomed to be a fake? He sits down in deep thought-- Tira skips over to him. Tira, calmly explains that, even if Yu has another side to him, that it's not always being 'fake' or anything like that to not show that side. Sometimes, the Persona you once wore to get away from it all, it becomes just as much you as what's 'really' underneath, and that she'll never judge him for keeping that dark side under wraps-- that it's there at all makes her happy enough~

Yu stares at her, dumbfounded that what she is saying... actually makes some sense? Tira gives him a hug.

"Alright, now that we're over this, I came to you because there's this guy with a very particular set of skills who dared threaten us, for no reason at all! Can you believe this?! Let's make him suffer!"

... right... that's... more along the lines of the Tira he was expecting.

Thou has established a genuine bond... unlocking S.Link level 10 and the Taken ability

Attach Oak to Yuna

(also I should have Dracula in my stable)

i think yu-tira might be better than half the social links in the actual games

Speaking of, we will get Chrom fanfics next results, as well as Lucina builds

Tiro's is locked in already, but Scare's is yet to be determined. GET HYPE

Well, I'm thinking it's probably not intentional, but is a functional ability with either wording and probably should've been caught before it came up? I don't know. For that ability in particular it's not a huge deal since the CD is fairly low anyway.

Diablo should be 5 to new ability (LoT), 10 to ability upgrade(50 souls). Cut Man was KO'd so I don't believe I get him anymore.
---

Like it should probably say

"Will be nullified going on 1 week of recharge"

I think the normal recharge it'd get is 2 weeks.

So yeah probably the best solution would be to make it have 2 weeks of recharge then errata Strike Man.

Right. In the interest of consistency we will put Talk on full recharge because that's how it was when the ability was used. Strikeman will be changed to not put abilities on recharge from here on out, however, because this fits with how ability cancellation has always worked better and I don't think the intent was to make him that much of a fuck you.

Four weeks. Talk = once every three, possession options adds 2 more.

Corrik, bless you for leaving me with reasonable EXP distribution

Honestly I'm kinda surprised it never came up in M4

It's not like he doesn't have a bucket of rulings sitting there.

Maybe it did come up in M4 and we ran it that way I honestly don't know.

It didn't come up because nobody actually got Strikeman as an RM from the event I think, so the wording wasn't combed over. If it had happened instead of FFD picking him up as a oneshot ability, we totally would've found out earlier.
---

FFD apparently used him on week 43 (or at least rostered him), but he eliminated Tom that week, so the recharge was kinda moot
---

fake edit: FFD didn't roster him, but Strike Man ended up in the Wily scrapheap afterwards, so the ability must've been used
---

I can't get on discord until the 7th

Can you pm me?

KanzarisKelshen posted...

Mercs Wrex'd: Arthas (2), Kefka (3), Exdeath (4),

Exdeath should be (3). I purchased the ability upgrade in the previous Results which takes 1 week off the recharge for targetting the same team.
