He told them code words to use in their posts for him to pick up on. Pretty clever!

Yeah, I was having QPQ answer yes or no questions by changing the way he started his posts. I figured that was innocuous enough that no one would pick up on it (I was right!)

For a hot second, I thought maybe Birdstrike was scum and all the misspelled words were code. Then I looked at my keyboard.

Last post I'm gonna make: I went through the Jocasta scum doc and saw that I was, in fact, wrong about my back row theory. This tends to happen to me in Ecco games, where I become distinctly paranoid and come up with wild theories about what is going on. I am usually wrong about the intent, but still end up nailing scum. This is funny to me.

Speaking of battle claims, thank you very much for dying with no claims on you, Viva. That was really useful!

I know you're jaded at the loss, but I'm surprised that you didn't even comprehend what happened this game.

I think you're confusing which of us got frustrated and emotionally over-invested in this game, I actually had a great time.

while both games had huge swathes of lurkers, it's still two 25 person games. That's a lot of people for a day!

Tremendous Taste posted:

jocasta crawls away from her camp beaten and bloodied, then suddenly a huge number of legion "reinforcements" arrive to finish the job led by Queen Krelo. They easily overwhelm the horde, and Krelo duels and defeats Qal in single combat. Krelo is surprised Jocasta survived the campaign. Jocasta recovers but she is even more aware how her mom tried to have her killed.

It was technically the canon ending as per An Adventure in Arrentia but historians aren't sure exactly what happened since a lot of written records of the time are lost, and Dr. meg-Tullain is set in her ways.

I had such fun rping about the justness of the qalian cause in the dead thread that I considered running an alt history game from the perspective of the real heroes cataloging the gross Jocastrian atrocities and reimagining ecco's fantasy universe but I thought it might be rude and I have loads of my own ideas I'm being too lazy to implement that I decided I probably shouldn't do it.

Wow, Arrentia sounds pretty awful.

What would have happened if both groups had killed the others leader?

Krelo is a great queen but a very bad mom.

It's ok though the Triamulierate was a great time in Arrentish history, proving that even the worst parents can still produce decent kids (eventually).

vOv I didn't think it was likely.
