I don't know if your ranged attack is any good, so if it sucks just do something defensive instead. Didn't want to risk any more healer fuckups.

flerp, you had a decent ranged attack, right? I won't tell you who to shoot cause I think you've been paying attention.

Anyone in the back row with some super cool ability to shoot at their back row, go ahead and do that.

Rest of y'all, talk amongst yourselves for now to decide how you want to take on the front line, might want to focus up a bit.

I'll do ya one better, here's the quote of handy instructions on how to fullclaim:

King Burgundy posted:

Hey AA, you may have done this in pieces mostly, but I'd like a full claim in one place that I can look at.

Obviously stay within the bounds of the rules in terms of numbers and what not and use descriptors like average, very poor, etc.

And don't cut and paste anything, paraphrase, put things in different orders, etc.

But I'd like ability names and such too.

Sample I'm expecting:

I'm a cook, medic, pawn(privatewhatever). I have decent hps.

I've got the following 3 abilities:

During Day I can use: Show me the money! Grants a big heal(about 3/4 of my own health) to a target but costs a shine, I started with 1.
During Combat I can use: Boogity Boogity Boo - a ranged occult attack - Has a very low chance to frighten an entire enemy line, no damage
I have an OPG ability to join a combat I'm not in.

Howdy Y'all!

With the recent flips I had to update some of my estimations of how our battles went.

Less get good an' ready fer some INFOGRAPHICS:

Battle 1:

Notes:
King Burgundy fielded four tacticians in his back row.
Everyone who targeted Ma/Bif in the battle failed somehow.
The entire Texan back row targeted 50 pounds of bread, likely killing him outright.
Venom Soag's alleged attack on 50 pounds of bread may not have happened.


Battle 2:

Notes:
Tithin was ranged and likely dealt an area of effect attack on the Mexican front row.
Prince of Space and The Ninth Layer killed CcKeane.
Tithin's attack and peramene's attack combined likely killed Max Peck.
CCKeane and TMMadman attacked CuriousCat and killed Xad.
Lord of Hats and Anomalous Amalgam attempted to debuff the front row and failed.
GameroftheGame is ranged and likely dealt an area of effect attack on the Texan back row. Emerged Unscathed.
Venom Soag's attack against Max Peck reportedly failed.
:siren: Damage estimates for Battle 2 do not account for all the deaths/injuries in the Texan back row. See Viper Soag / peramene for answers! :siren:


Battle 3:

Notes:
King Burgundy fields four trusted back row agents. All three of these tacticians in the back row have used up their Once-Per-Game abilities. All three tacticians are likely in a masonry with King Burgundy.
All actions taken against Hal Incandeza failed. Hal Incandeza has likely used up his Once-Per-Game ability, Indomitable Will.
Tobbs Gnawed took significant damage. Tobbs Gnawed has likely used up his Once-Per-Game ability, aka "Unmovable Object."
Slasher Hawke and TMMadman killed CuriousCat. RIP CuriousCat.
Venom Soag reports attacking Tobbs Gnawed along with Ma/Bif but is unable to kill him.

Next I'll share with y'all some of the battle info I've gleaned from the other thread.

OYE TEJANOS, ESCUCHAME!

I may have been born in Oaxaca but the damage Villa did to my family can never be forgiven. I live to see him suffer and I’m glad I interfered in a battle and killed one of his army in camp.

HEAR ME NOW: We’re drat near certain that Flying Leatherman and Kashuno are KB’s advisors.  I’m comfortable outing that read because they both appear strongly in favor with him and the camp anyway. KB appears to be keeping them in battle to keep them out of reach of our sabotage and its disabling effects. The longer the game goes on the more of an advantage their secret conversations become. Make the battlefield unsafe for them! We recommend focusing on FL first since he’s also a healer

The advisors aren't in the back row now, but I'd bet one of them will be shortly. If one of them shows their face, make em regret it.

What to expect - Enemy Mexicans - Your Opponent and You:

Front Row
Hal Incandenza - Medic, attacking the front row (likely Flerp). Has used up his Once-Per-Game ability, Indomitable Will.

IllegallySober - Heals. Plans to attack the Texan back row with an Area of Effect Attack. Is likely going to use Indomitable Will this battle or else he will die.

Truth Quark - Plans to use either an attack, a ranged attack, or a buff on a cohort - largely unknown. Plans to shoot at busb. Also has a self-buff to help him survive.

Back Row
Gamerofthegame - Was in a battle as a front row fighter; will likely shoot at Flerp.

GeneX - He's a back row fighter. Hasn't been seen in battle yet due to first-round Ma/Bif shenanigans.

The Lord of Hats - A poison witch vampire (seriously?). Attacks with poison chance at range. Self-heals for hp.

He's the one the ones that's responsible for damaging the back row in Battle 2.

(Sorry for the delay in resolution, the Hawaii missile attack false alarm really freaked me out.)



This time, the forces clashed far away from either side's defensive lines. Historians in the years to come would speculate on the Texans' reasons for choosing this battleground - was it to minimize collateral damage, an attempt at outmaneuvering the Mexican strategists, or something else entirely? No-one could say for sure.

But once again, each battle party threw itself at the other, and all dissolved into gun-smoke, chaos, and blood...
