09-04-2024 01:03:53 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:yxli:hhjh:gwrz:xohu:gyrm: heh.
09-04-2024 01:03:56 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:yxli:hhjh:gwrz:xohu:gyrm: well, wasn't going over you.
09-04-2024 01:04:03 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:yxli:hhjh:gwrz:xohu:gyrm: and there isn't much to see with partials, anyway.

09-04-2024 01:17:59 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:yxli:hhjh:gwrz:xohu:gyrm: the 2017 one?
09-04-2024 01:18:38 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:yxli:hhjh:gwrz:xohu:gyrm: There hasn't been an eclipse over BC for a very, very long time, and none in the future.  There's one in the 2030s going over parts of Alaska, so that one maybe.
09-04-2024 01:46:00 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:yxli:hhjh:gwrz:xohu:gyrm: oh, lovely.
09-04-2024 01:46:05 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:yxli:hhjh:gwrz:xohu:gyrm: the sandblaster perk is really quite good.
09-04-2024 01:46:29 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:yxli:hhjh:gwrz:xohu:gyrm: This guy with a LRM-5 gets 2-4 bonus missile hits with it.
09-04-2024 01:46:52 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:yxli:hhjh:gwrz:xohu:gyrm: I should give that person a proper missilemech.

09-04-2024 13:15:40 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I published a blackhat machine which routes all the balls into the wrong outputs.
09-04-2024 13:16:12 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: It routes greens into the yellow output, and red into the green output.
09-04-2024 13:16:39 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: But the machine that receives yellow has a design flaw which sometimes routes yellow input into its red output...
09-04-2024 13:17:07 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Which means the greens I send in ALWAYS get turned right back around into my red input.  Which goes to Green.

09-04-2024 14:27:59 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I just realized they're all KIA.  You have to manually remove dead soldiers
09-04-2024 14:28:07 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: So I'm marking them all as dependants

09-04-2024 14:37:30 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: All infantry

09-04-2024 14:38:28 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Yes.
09-04-2024 14:38:29 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: maybe using big robots and stuff would help with that
09-04-2024 14:38:38 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: But the enemy is using massive walking robots
09-04-2024 14:39:05 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: yes, but then if you lose your whole force, like four guys have died rather than a hundred
09-04-2024 14:39:07 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: If they don't want to die, they should shoot more accurately.
09-04-2024 14:39:25 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: But if I lose four guys, I've lost, like... 4k c-bills.
09-04-2024 14:39:28 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Not 4 million
09-04-2024 14:40:12 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I'm not sure I actually lose ANYTHING for corpses
09-04-2024 14:40:30 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Injured cost money since I'm paying them and they're not fighting.

09-04-2024 14:49:58 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Should be able to get there soon.
09-04-2024 14:51:32 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: pretty good deal, I guess. if you get wounded and live, you get to sort papers with your teeth
09-04-2024 14:52:55 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Most of them have at least one arm
09-04-2024 14:53:04 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: very handy
09-04-2024 14:53:28 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I have an extremely veteran woman who's participated in 8 missions, and is listed as having six kills.

09-04-2024 14:53:44 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: 3 tanks, 2 mechs, 1 inf platoon.
09-04-2024 14:53:48 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: and they all have the same skill

09-04-2024 14:54:26 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Lotus is of course my most veteran employee, with ten missions and 21 kills.

09-04-2024 14:55:00 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: 10 missions, 9 kills.
09-04-2024 14:55:23 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: 4 mechs, 4 tanks, 1 inf.

09-04-2024 16:11:50 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I don't have anyone with better than 2+ *anything*
09-04-2024 16:11:51 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: hmm, maybe behind a nice AC-20...
09-04-2024 16:11:54 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Yeah
09-04-2024 16:12:10 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I'll get some super heavily armored tank with a massive gun.
09-04-2024 16:12:22 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: turn on called shots and have her blow heads off mechs
09-04-2024 16:12:56 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: She has literally no other traits or skills though
09-04-2024 16:13:03 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: though I'm not sure how much more likely aiming high makes a head hit, and it's like +2 difficulty
09-04-2024 16:13:21 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: This woman is literally just an immensely good gunner, and has never achieved anything else in her life.

09-04-2024 16:13:39 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Unfortunately she's not such a good shot she could shoot Lotus out of the sky before her tank blew up.
09-04-2024 16:14:06 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Probably because Lotus' plane attacked from behind, and has more armor tonnage than the tonnage of this lady's entire tank.
09-04-2024 16:14:44 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: more of a flying battleship, then
09-04-2024 16:15:09 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: probably weighs more than the patrol boats at least
09-04-2024 16:15:43 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: I didn't notice much variety in terms of actual naval assets, besides submarines
09-04-2024 16:15:54 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: many botes seem to be small
09-04-2024 16:31:59 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Contract completedz1
09-04-2024 16:32:57 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: >:(
09-04-2024 16:33:13 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I have to ROLL to retain personnel
09-04-2024 16:33:21 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: And most of them are on 10+ difficulty
09-04-2024 16:33:30 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I can pay a bonus... which only reduces that to 9+
09-04-2024 16:33:50 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: That feels awful
09-04-2024 16:34:01 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: you can set that to be each contract, once a year, both or neither
09-04-2024 16:34:05 < * syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj cheats and makes them all 2+
09-04-2024 16:34:49 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: a different option lets them partly own their vehicles and they take them with them when they leave :D
09-04-2024 16:34:58 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: I like it, feels like pirates
09-04-2024 16:37:38 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: That's also on by default
09-04-2024 16:37:46 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I didn't fiddle with campaign settings
09-04-2024 16:38:24 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: you are a mercenary, hiring people to do war for your profit
09-04-2024 16:38:32 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: but the people you hire are also mercenaries
09-04-2024 16:38:59 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: so the end of the contract seems like a good time for them to take their money and split, unless they really like you
09-04-2024 16:39:59 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I've rebuilt my frist mech
09-04-2024 16:40:03 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: A light Wasp.
09-04-2024 16:58:00 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Well that's annoying
09-04-2024 16:58:17 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Some of my Jump Platoons are considered to be 5.5 tons, not 5.0 tons.
09-04-2024 16:58:35 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: And I specifically got transports that can carry 15 tons of troops to do 3 per transport.
09-04-2024 16:58:55 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: They'd be 5.5 due to having anti-mech gear... but I can't *remove* that.

09-04-2024 17:28:59 < * syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj organizes his troops
09-04-2024 17:38:57 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Alright, I have four 90-man assault companies, each organized into two platoons of jump lasers, and one platoon of Jump SRMs w/ Inferno missiles.
09-04-2024 17:39:37 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: And then I have a 58-man defense company, consisting of two AC20 platoons with four guns between them.
09-04-2024 17:40:09 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: sweet.
09-04-2024 17:40:13 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: I'm finishing up this contract.
09-04-2024 17:40:17 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: maybe we should do a battle?
09-04-2024 17:40:18 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Each company gets a Karnov modified with much more troop transport space.  The AC20s can't fit, but their Karnov functions as a spotter.
09-04-2024 17:40:30 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Haha
09-04-2024 17:40:31 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Dev
09-04-2024 17:41:04 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I have... 21 units
09-04-2024 17:41:22 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: And they are deeply bullshir
09-04-2024 17:41:29 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: (I also have a mech and Lotus)
09-04-2024 17:42:30 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: The Karnovs seem to be able to fly arbitrarily high, which makes them immune to attack... and jump troops CAN unload at altitude.  So they work as paratroops.
09-04-2024 17:42:55 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: But sure
09-04-2024 17:43:15 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: So we bring whatever we feel is appropriate to the battle.
09-04-2024 17:43:22 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: If you want to do a match after your contact, I'm fine with that.  You can choose how much you want to face.
09-04-2024 17:43:45 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: I'm done the contract, I've just got to salvage the stuff from the last battle and fix up the lightly damaged mechs.
09-04-2024 17:43:51 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Ahh
09-04-2024 17:43:56 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Yeah that's what I've been doing.
09-04-2024 17:44:54 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: ...I'm not entirely sure how multiplayer handles these units.
09-04-2024 17:45:05 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: They're ALL custom, except for the AC20s and the mech.
09-04-2024 17:47:51 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: About half my units are custom too.
09-04-2024 17:48:10 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: they're just boxes of data.  I'm not sure how to get the units exported, but it should be possible.
09-04-2024 17:48:33 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: also, fuck you, the guys running the contract squeezed in one final battle a few days before the end of the contract, but screw it, I can stop time now.  ;-p

09-04-2024 17:57:29 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Also BTW my contract was on a low-grav world with a lot of night missions, which has strongly affected my build and playstyle
09-04-2024 17:57:45 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: So you may prefer to just not use either of those effects :P
09-04-2024 17:58:31 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: My last contract was on the same kind of world.  Although this short one is on a normal-G world.
09-04-2024 18:00:12 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: Also, figured out a way to do it.  When you start a battle in the campaign, you can save units to a .mul file.  Then MegaMek can import that.
09-04-2024 18:01:19 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: Anyway, game's up, my I.P. is 108.180.193.47

09-04-2024 18:04:35 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: also, my units aren't highly optimized for anti-infantry, so.. you should do pretty well.

09-04-2024 18:05:45 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: for the custom units, if you can get it to save it as a file then I know the rest of the steps
09-04-2024 18:06:00 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: I had to start a battle, deploy all my units, and use the 'save armies as a .Mul file' to get it to happen.
09-04-2024 18:06:19 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: There's probably a better way.
09-04-2024 18:06:58 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: put a folder in data/mechfiles called Custom. and then delete the unit.cashe in the same folder
09-04-2024 18:07:31 < Egan!Egan@2600:1700:4f01:wov:vymo:xttv:pzpz:wvot: and then they should be... mixed in with the rest of the units on the unit picker. good luck!
09-04-2024 18:08:05 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: That sounds like a worse way, as you can just spawn missions with the GM tools.

09-04-2024 18:09:43 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: okay
09-04-2024 18:09:44 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: just bring all of them and we can remove them from the lineup.
09-04-2024 18:09:49 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: easier than doing part measures.

09-04-2024 21:25:55 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Tagon's Toughs: 12,691 / 16,101 BV remaining.  2/12 mechs destroyed and captured.
09-04-2024 21:26:56 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Futuristic VDV: 5,603 / 7535 BV remaining.  No losses, but Lotus took a MASSIVE beating; virtually all that BV loss was damage to her plane.
09-04-2024 21:27:01 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: She crashed.
09-04-2024 21:27:18 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: But she got back up anyway
09-04-2024 21:28:58 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: ...Pretty close percentage-wise.  I lost 26% to Dev's 21%.
09-04-2024 21:29:11 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: And that was with the map being DEEPLY favorable to me.
09-04-2024 21:30:12 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Infantry are bullshit.

09-04-2024 21:30:50 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I'm definitely gonna follow your recommendation and get some LRM helicopters.
09-04-2024 21:30:58 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: note it was a LOT of damage.  I did like 250 damage to it.
09-04-2024 21:31:05 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Yeah
09-04-2024 21:31:07 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: (maybe not quite that much.)
09-04-2024 21:31:11 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I'll count it tomorrow
09-04-2024 21:31:15 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: 110 from the crash alone
09-04-2024 21:31:23 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I think 250 is the right ballpark
09-04-2024 21:31:41 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: You removed like 25% of the plane's entire mass
09-04-2024 21:32:12 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: it also hit one of my mechs in the face when it crashed.
09-04-2024 21:33:13 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Yes, gloriously
09-04-2024 21:33:23 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: If not for that stroke of luck I'd have only gotten one mech
09-04-2024 21:33:26 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: yeah.  That one would ahve been useful against the infantry, too.
09-04-2024 21:34:02 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I do love that Lotus keeps crashing, and yet is still effective enough to justify her anyway.
09-04-2024 21:34:45 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: ...Actually I think you got closer to 300 damage on her
09-04-2024 21:34:57 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I remember 36, 110, and 82 specifically
09-04-2024 21:35:08 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: what I didn't think of is that all the forest also meant I had to have the jumpmechs jump, which made their fire a lot shittier.
09-04-2024 21:35:12 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: they're fast on legs too.
09-04-2024 21:35:13 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: And there was a good chunk beyond that.
09-04-2024 21:35:24 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: nah, I hardly scratched it except for those two turns.
09-04-2024 21:35:32 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Maybe
09-04-2024 21:35:44 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: For me, any hit on Lotus is a scare
09-04-2024 21:35:57 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I'm pretty sure she took more damage in that fight than she's ever taken combined
09-04-2024 21:36:06 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: it is making me wish I had an aero wing, though.  I think the only proper remaining incendiaries for me available are bombs.
09-04-2024 21:36:16 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: some incendiary bombs would have wrecked you.
09-04-2024 21:36:34 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I haven't figured out how to use bombs.
09-04-2024 21:36:38 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: or artillery.  Big AoE effects.
09-04-2024 21:36:41 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Also, you can give planes flamers.
09-04-2024 21:36:50 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: yeah, that'd do it.
09-04-2024 21:37:00 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: If not for Lotus being capped at 15 weapon mounts, she'd have 40 flamers.
09-04-2024 21:37:04 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: I don't think your guys are good at shooting air.
09-04-2024 21:37:16 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Infantry are literally banned from shooting aero
09-04-2024 21:37:25 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: However, Lotus isn't.
09-04-2024 21:37:44 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I don't expect the AI to field anything aeriel that can touch her, not for a long time.
09-04-2024 21:38:33 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: BTW, I assume this is noncanon for your company?
09-04-2024 21:38:46 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: Yeah.  I have an actual battle on the day of save.
09-04-2024 21:38:57 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: contract guys squeezed one last battle out of me.
09-04-2024 21:39:01 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I'll try and make it canon for me
09-04-2024 21:39:08 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I can definitely use your mechs ;P
09-04-2024 21:39:21 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: the jenner, right?  That's nothing special.
09-04-2024 21:39:29 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: I have nothing special!
09-04-2024 21:39:37 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: The wasp is literally 100% of my mech force
09-04-2024 21:39:48 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: If it can carry more than 1 LRM, it's great for me
09-04-2024 21:45:00 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: yes, yes it can.
09-04-2024 21:46:42 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Need to get my guys skiis and spinfusors
09-04-2024 21:47:23 < syv!GreatWyrmG@129.222.ixg.rj: Do tribesmen count as BA?
09-04-2024 21:51:32 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: Heh.
09-04-2024 21:51:37 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: ..They probably would, actually.
09-04-2024 21:52:43 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: Wow, that might be the first time I can remember getting a proper rear torso strike.
09-04-2024 21:52:54 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: all the othe rtimes  I get one set up bam, arm and leg hits.
09-04-2024 21:53:05 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: but no, someone turned their back on the Vindicator.
09-04-2024 21:53:12 < Devastator!chatzilla@2001:569:fac0:oivn:yhgn:ywjy:jiro:vvqq: and bam, straight to the torso.
