The most succulent treat to a goon is the suffering of another goon. Once you understand, the reasons will become clear.

On this note, anyone who voted for Iris should immediately change their vote to Kohran. Iris cannot win, but Kohran certainly has a chance, and it is obvious how much she has crushed Ogami's soul because he fears to even enter the room.

What, like there is a possible outcome of the vote that does not result in suffering for Ogami?

Plus, if he's doomed, there might as well be explosions in the end. I sure as hell want and explosive death over a slow mental corruption by a young child, having every bone in my body broken by a chick who is manlier than me, being shot 7000 times, being smothered to death by a stalker, or....hmm...well I can't think of anything for Sumire. That's why she's my second place I guess :colbert: oh wait. money is the root of all evil. so, yeah. evil.

In a note that will interest no-one, i've just noticed a new speck of damage on my monitor, placed oddly accurate enough that it adds to the end of Maria's mouth pretty often, so it looks like she's smiling instead of flatline mouth.

It is entirely creepy.

It's not that hard. Just try to imagine the seas turning red and the sky turning green. That would be about the equivalent of a Maria smile.

It took me a few days of on-and-off marathoning, but I've caught up with all 33 pages of this thread! Congratulations, Spirit Armor, for writing such an entertaining LP. At this pace it still looks like it'll take a criminally long time to even finish this game, but I can't complain about that. Gotta make the fun last, right?

Great choice of game, too! It combines two of my favorite things in life: Giant robots and pretending to be able to talk to gir not to be able to talk to girls but still receive alarming amounts of affection from them anyway!

Also, I know the votes are closed now, but I'm voting for Kohran anyway. :colbert:

You'd think that they'd slip some suppressants into her meals or something, y'know? What sort of incompetent government organization would sleep well knowing that immense psychic/spiritual energy that could level parts of a city was only held back by the unspoiled innocence of childhood?

Oh, right. Same guy that doesn't even have the herewithal to keep a spare set of keys around so he can go drinking. :doh:

Yeah. The more I think about it, the more it is clear that, as the most vindictive, scheming, kiniving, seething evil force on the planet, not 10 year old should be able to level blocks with their thought alone. It's probably best to put her down.

You know, I'm kind of freaking out here. It seems that while Iris has the crazy Lovecraftian mind powers, Ogami is sort of a psychic Iris puppetmaster subconsciously, and I honestly can't decide what is more dangerous: crazy vengeful Iris with her mental death beams, or remarkably unstable Ogami indirectly controlling Iris and said mental death beams.

Well we aren't actually voting persay, because they don't count right now. But just because you can't vote doesn't mean the candidates stop campaigning.

Ah yes, thats indeed a major factor, but what about explosions without using any tools? The cinema and fountain went boom without mechanical assistance!

That giant steam bazooka is tempting though, when the day of destiny comes and Iristhullu is nowhere near enough to the top to make any difference, I will throw my support for Kohran. For Explosions! No matter the source!

You just need something to offset the awesome of a teleporting koubu + sparkly explosions + giant teddy bear attacks. The chibi suicide bombers and Fin Funnels aren't quite enough.

You know, normally I'm all for the killer psychic magic routine, but Kohran has several advantages for me:

1) I think glasses make people look cool. Despite not wearing any corrective vision equipment myself.
2) I like nerdy chicks.
3) Awesome Japanese Redneck accent.

On the plus side, choosing that choice made Kohran and Iris's trust levels increase. :iiam: I don't know either.

Because if Kanna and Sumire kill each other in the ensuing engagement, there is less competition for Ogami's soul (and meaty parts too I guess). Sakura is just ticked that you aren't talking to her and only her. :ms:
