Referee: Aug 25, 2004; "Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday."
(Wilma Rudolph)

I'm not 100% convinced but I can't talk myself into any of the other choices either, so Option A it is.

Respectfully casting a dissenting vote for B on the grounds that CPig will almost certainly punish the whole of the light warriors for their hubris with all these walkthroughs and guides, which so far both led and misled us. Of course, my common sense approach led us just now into scum supreme territory the first time all game, so gently caress me.

But I firmly believe in democracy and one of the most important responsibilities of any voting citizen is to evaluate the evidence available and vote what they believe is best not just for themselves, but the whole of the system. To say "no" even when they call for "yes" from the hilltops if you truly believe they act in error. Reality - or in this case, CPig - will reveal the victor.

That said, my availability today may be very limited, and I need to make sure this is on the books. #vote Absurd Revolver both my personal case and "damning" evidence according to KB are earlier in this very thread. He has promised a counter-case and I'm hoping he'll deliver.

You can give it to the Executioner shortly before deadline, if you wish, perhaps they will hear your fabricated plea for mercy.

I'm absolutely on-board with voting BK at the conclusion of this story event now that I see he's posting elsewhere on the forums in addition to being absent from here for a literal week.

I just asked CPig if I could get 2 job changes in one day cause I had one day where I hadn't changed, and he said yeah whatever, he wasn't gonna limit them at all so long as I had points!

If anyone else besides me was somewhat suspicious of this claim, I PM'd CPig and he indicates that switching jobs multiple times in a day is indeed allowable now.

It is common to dissent during a democratic process, we've had repeated complaints all game that folks aren't talking about / explaining their votes. I'm merely explaining my reasons for dissenting despite a majority building in favor of another option. I can see how that can come off as defensive, but why would I need to defend a choice we won't see the consequences of?

Good lord, I am unreadably verbose.

tl;dr: I see your point Keane but nah I'm just trying to be respectful of my peers

Bifauxnen: Aug 12, 2010; Curses! Foiled again!

In case anyone else is holding out really wanting to check out the last set of Earth Crystal jobs, here's a quick summary of what they are from skimming a FAQ:

Black Belt - upgraded version of Monk. But their "Boost" skill is supposed to be pretty bad in game.

Magus - upgraded version of Black Mage.

Devout - upgraded version of White Mage.

Summoner - what it says on the tin, just so you know the existing Evoker job that everyone seems to have ignored is supposed to be the lovely early version of Summoner.

Sage - can cast all white, black, or summon magic. Considered the best all-around mage, but has less MP. Based on how Red Mages panned out, this might end up with an unpredictable mix of different abilities at each level, probably stick with Sage or Devout if you're after black or white magic in particular.

Ninja - very strong attackers in game, who can throw swords and shurikens and stuff. No idea how this will translate to Mafia.
