Lurker > GANON1025

Well my carnival summons went way better! I got Carnival Metal Cooler, who Ive wanted since he came out. And then I got two of the new AGL Goku! I hope hes good!

Im sorry to report the stones I saved up were not enough to get me the new LRs

Happy anniversary!

Jumping in at the end of this topic, so sorry if this has been talked about before, but has anyone here tried Macrofactor? Im a big Jeff Nippard fan and obviously hes been promoting this app recently

Ive basically been logging in and doing 3 quick stages to do the daily missions. I dont really know what it would take to really get me back in

I would simply get a raise and make more money so I could buy the new bundles without issue

For a second I thought, man, Echo from the Bad Batch is getting his own series?

Interesting.... let me ask what we're all thinking: If Sonic were turned into a woman, married and had children with Hero, which one of them according to their writeup would gain Sonic's speed and reflexes?

I love the idea around JCs ending abilities

Also, happy birthday Luffy!

Wow... Buggy continues to rule

If we're talking figures, that gives me enough of an excuse to post my collection... these are mostly SH Figuart Dragon Ball figures, but I have a decent Amazing Yamaguchi MHA collection going on too...

Oh yeah, theres also MWIS Absolutists only Merc games that MWIS is personally involved with are real Merc games.

Right, Draftmerx! Forgot all about that one, I think one could consider that its own game as well

So Mercs has an interesting history, especially when it comes to what people consider part of the Mercs canon or not... if you don't mind, I like to get into this a bit.

The way I see it, there are four main schools of thought when it comes to the Merc Game Chronology:

All-Iners: ALL instances of Mercs are valid to be part of the chronology
B8 Purists: All Mercs games played on this message board are part of the chronology
Game Centrists/Chris Deniers: B8 Purists, but Mercs 2 is accepted and Mercs 4 is ignored. More than likely, YOU are this.
TR Truthers: Test runs are not considered part of the chronology

Now let's go through the Mercs games that I am aware of....

Mercs 1: Not a lot of controversy here, it's the beginning of the Mercs Chronology! Everyone accepts this as part of mercs.
Mercs 2 -- The Test Run: Well two games in and we have our first split. Mercs 2 is, technically speaking, also accepted as the Trial Run for Mercs 3. So the question is, is a Trial Run really a 'full' Mercs game? In addition, a lot of Mercs 2 was played OFF of Board8, on some kind of separate forum. So does this really count? Well, some people just count it by default, without thinking. But others see this as not a true Mercs game. They may still call it Mercs 2, but it's not considered part of the 'real' Merc games. All-Iners and Game Centrists consider this a full, actual part of the chronology. B8 Purists waffle due to its trial run nature and not being ran fully on B8. TR Truthers, of course, don't consider this an actual game. There's even a few people who deny this game even happened AT ALL.
Mercs 3: What some might consider the second actual full game of Mercs. I don't believe there's a lot of Chronology arguments here, as far as I am aware everyone considers this part of the canon.
Mercs 4: Here's where things get interesting. Mercs 4 is a fanfiction story created by Sir Chris. In this story, Sir Chris stars as himself in a post-apocalyptic reimaging of Board 8, where he fights the Mercs 3 admins. Now already you can see why this entry is controversial . After all, it ain't even a game! Yet at the time I remember people treating this like a part of Mercs. Even the Mercs 3 admins played along a bit. You could say they were doing it ironically, but still. Also, the fact that this has never happened since lends some credence to its acceptance to the Chronology. All-Iners absolutely consider this a part of the Chronology, B8 Purists waffle because while it DID occur on Board 8 it wasn't a game. Since Game Centrists are also called "Chris Deniers", you can tell where they stand. TR Truthers are more invested in TRs NOT being part of the Chronology, so they don't really care, but edge on the side of Mercs 4 not being part of the canon. As for me? I'm all in on this being part of the Chronology.
Mercs 4 , aka Merx, aka Mercs 5: Yeah, there are two Mercs 4. THIS Mercs 4 is a traditional game of mercs. Many consider this to be the pinnacle of Mercs, the best of the best. All consider this part of the chronology, though those of us who believe in the the first Mercs 4 call this one 5.
CE Mercs: CE Mercs was a game of mercs played on the Current Events board. Giving the, let's say, rocky history between B8 and CE, plus just the fact that this is a Mercs game played off of B8 period, there are many factions who do not consider this a true game of Mercs. But consider this.... if 'not played on B8' is grounds to consider a Mercs game not a part of the Chronology, then by that logic you must also not consider Mercs 2 a mercs game. I contend that anyone who does not count CE Mercs must ALSO BE a TR Truther. You can't have it both ways, IMO. But I digress.
That Other Mercs Played On Another Board: There was another Mercs game played on another board. Don't remember what it was called. This game is even more obscure than CE Mercs. Same arguments apply to this game that did to CE Mercs, just with less board-blood-feuding.
Mercs 5 Test Run, aka Mercs 6 Test Run, aka Mercs 5/6(?): Now we come to the game of mercs we just went through. And what a game it was! Now here's the thing.... if Mercs 2 is considered its own game, despite the fact it is literally called the Test Run and was indeed a Test Run for Mercs 3, then why wouldn't this Test Run also be its own Mercs game? I would argue that the Mercs 5/6 TR could go down in history as Mercs 5/6, and the upcoming game is Mercs 6/7. At the very lest, the various groups will argue its acceptance in the Chronology. TR Truthers won't allow it, All-Iners will... B8 Purists may consider this run more of a full Mercs game than Mercs 2 since the Mercs 5/6 TR was played fully on Board 8. For my take, since Mercs 2 is considered a fully-numbered game, so to must this TR. This is Mercs 6.

So when are signups happening?

What a chapter of One Piece! Insight into Kuzan's motivations and a possible shared agenda with Blackbeard, which Ive been waiting to see for a while, and the defeat of the Heart pirates with Law and Bepo barely getting away Blackbeard is truly ferocious when he fights offscreen.

Hey, that guy was Jeff Grubb

I definitely understand the complaints of there being less Salazar and Saddler

Pershing episode was great, the jack black episode was good season 1 Mando fun too I thought.

I thought it was a fine finale. One thing I dont understand though,

Bo-Katan Kryze's family name is Kryze.

Paz Viszla's family name is Viszla.

Sabine Wren, Ax Woves, the Fetts, etc etc.

But Din Djarin's family name is...Din.

Ehh, I've heard that twitter account isn't one to be super trusted. Not that that can't be true, just take it with a grain of salt.

Also the Zelda/Loftwing and Samus/EMMI amiibo are $5 each

New visual for the Wano Climax

Kidd.....

Egghead top tier arc so far

If there was one near me, I probably would

Ganondorf looking really good here

If you think Batmans so good, YOU buy him

Ganondorf is a 3/week, and he could all that

Im enjoying overheal priest and hero power Druid so far.

Oh, you can use the handcannon and get S+ on professional? I thought you couldnt use bonus weapons for the s+

Tails could easily beat Frank West

Simply give Leon a Wheres everyone coming from? Bingo? Ability that filled the terrain with appropriately-dressed-for-the-terrain ganado

Happy Regenerador Day

Anyone else always have like 10 L Resources you have nothing to do with?

You gotta a Jedi order to fight off the yuuhzan vong though

Even though Ive fully upgraded the Red9, I decided to buy the Blacktail to try it out and I think I like the feel of it a lot more?

Sounds like its easier to S rank Mercs than to do a NG Pro playthrough

Anyway, Ashoka looks good! Glad to be getting a Rebels sequel

Heres the proposed timeline:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/8/7/AAAelnAAEXBn.jpg

Rey is good, she was massively severely let down by the quality of the sequel movies especially RoS. Im open to another movie with her

How are the deluxe weapons?

Trying to figure out what kind of run I want to do after finishing on normal. NG+ to mop up the Salazar figures and some achievements? A fresh Hardcore run maybe?

Wrapped up my first playthrough, a fantastic remake that stands along with the original. Very excited to keep digging in!
