Again looking at my chart of interactions YPM has minimal interaction with Moat. I get it could be completely coincidental. Does anyone else think that's odd our is it something I shouldn't be focusing on?

I can be odd and should be looked at, but not something to focus on to the exclusion of everything else.

I'm sure if you looked through my posts, there's probably someone that I haven't quoted, plus just because a person don't quote someone doesn't mean they aren't interacting with them.

I am strongly leaning towards YPM myself. While TMM was the first to try and get the AA train rolling, it was for obvious town reasons. It was YPM jumping in for a quick 2nd that really jumpstarted it. YPM was really trying to get the heat off of Moat at the time.

It's not like votes on MMT had been getting any traction prior to that point. Pending a YPM flip, I'm inclined to think that Chaoslord is doing to MMT what MMT was doing to me.

On the contrary, I believed the incorrect case I was making on you whereas I don't see any reason to think that CL believes the case he's been making on me.

I don't think we should worry about that at this point. I mean if we knew for sure, then yeah, but as it stands, I say take go for busb instead. If Anidav has some kind of reflecting damage, it could be the thing that kills you instead of leaving you on deaths door.

Got it. I'm going to see if we have any surprises in the final lineup and will adjust accordingly. May play this one a little safer rather than going for the home run, so to speak.

If you are talking for after prelim, use your judgement how you like. For during, the home run is the way to go I think.

I can attempt something but I'm not sure our current lineup is best-set for it.

I'm not sure how to describe what that possibility is in any more detail than that without giving out too much info.

Mafia edit: the above was specifically in reference to the prelim phase, I've got a pretty good idea what to do for battle unless things are drastically changed after prelim.

Pretend my point is not to own someone, but to make sure they can't own us the way they want. Does that make sense?

As Gamer said, be aware that Anidav/Tired have damage shields and are not good targets if they are in. Anidav can also buff his folks from anywhere and appears to be hitting N20 with a shield. Looks like Busb/Bif may be focusing on Tobbs if things still look the same going into battle(for example, Busb will be aiming at joiners instead), but as always don't take everything they say at face value as Bif might have one of these folks as her advisor. As things stand right now, front lines will be getting hit by everyone and back lines are safe, but remember to really look at the lines and understand them before locking in your battle actions when the time comes in case that changes.

Good luck folks! You won't need it! :)

What I'm referring to doesn't work the way that I think you're describing, but for this battle I also don't think it's going to matter. I suspect we will be fine regardless. :)

I'll have my eyes peeled for potential changes. Looking forward to another solid victory.

Last up in the front row is YPM:

YPM wants to battle but isn't as gung-ho about it as the others. Still prefers front row, though. He claims this for his action plan tonight:

So sounds like he wants to be able to sit right in the front to buff their front line in prelim while debuffing ours during battle. He must be decently tough to not want to hide in the back, but still, he sounds more like a support character overall.

So we should secure a kill on YPM, then Hal, then see what we got left to test Tobbs a bit.

Not for nothing but I can’t imagine a world where this post is Bif playing 4D chess and instructing her town to go after her scum. I’m not saying it’s impossible, just highly improbable.

I pretty strongly feel it should be CL tomorrow.

As the beleaguered Texan defenders rallied at the Alamo, Ma was right there with them just like always. An encouraging word, a slap on the back, a friendly pat on the buttocks - she kept them calm, eyes on the horizon. She knew today would be a fateful day... and she was not disappointed.

The sound of echoing hoofbeats announced his presence long before he came into view, accompanied by cheering Villistas. At long last, Pancho Villa himself had taken the field - with the full force of his army and the power of Shine following in his wake. His eyes met Ma's across the soon-to-be battlefield before the Alamo, and he smirked before tipping his hat to her in a gesture that practically dripped with smug irony. Tension crackled between the two leaders for a moment, the fate of Texas on the line, before...

"FIRE!"
"ˇATACAR!"

And when the gun-smoke and burnt-off Shine fumes cleared...


TEXAS STATE GUARD CASUALTIES

Life is so SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWW sometimes, ughhhhhhh. It's like everyone around you is moving through a huge swamp of molasses! You used to be stuck in that same swamp, but then Shine came along and changed your world. Now you can do things at a good normal pace, even if nobody else can keep up!

The defenders had taken losses they could ill afford...

DIVISIÓN DEL NORTE CASUALTIES

quote:

As a man of the cloth, you naturally refrained from luxury and excess. That included all manner of alcohol, even the mysterious Shine. But one night the Devil gained sway over you, and you tried it for the first time - and discovered the wondrous visions it allowed you to induce in others. Since then, it has been a regular component in your sermons - and presently, your battles. May God be with you.
:rip: TMMadman, aka Emmanuel, TOWN-aligned Scout, was killed in battle on Night 5! :rip:

...but the Alamo still stood strong, filled with the spirit of Texas.

:siren: THE BATTLE ENDS IN A DRAW! :siren:

Each army returns to their camp, ready to regroup, recuperate, and prepare - for tomorrow is another day, and another battle awaits.

...But that's not all that was waiting for their return.
