11 on making Ad-lib weekly, completing it.
9 on increasing Ad-lib's hit rate to 20%.
---

Corrik puts Kuja in the Evolution Pit, granting him Haste.

He also puts 10 EXP into Did Sephiroth Do This, unlocking it.
---

so out of curiosity what are the tiebreak procedures
---

Assuming it's a tie, [Kanz and trdl] drag in a third party to act as the tiebreaker (if they have both already voted, else one of them will break the tie)
assuming one can't be found, [Kanz and trdl] discuss the match between ourselves and one admin withdraws the vote
assuming we remain deadlocked at that point, [Kanz and trdl] open voting to anyon who wishes to vote

whatever i missed a few "we" and "ourselves" whoops

ETA is 'once your dear admin has had food to reactivate his brain'

doing maths while on no food seems like a surefire recipe for misinformation. It's all pretty simple so expect them very soon once I've eaten.
---

Well this is incredibly frustrating.
---

Another fine tagline for Mercs.

At some point I'll actually start recording them all.

Right, I guess Yuna's aeons don't depend on standings

Gold values now that I'm fooded:

Mewtwo: 32 GP
God: 32 GP
DC: 45 GP
Tiro: 23 GP
Luis: 33 GP
Skyridge: 53 GP
Eddv: 31 GP
Lopen: 43 GP

Boko: 53 GP
Gravy: 51 GP
Johnbobb: 43 GP
Scare: 30 GP
Rocket: 56 GP
Eaed: 46 GP
Corrik: 56 GP
Tom: 49 GP

I believe these are accurate. As always check for errors.

Another Yuna (Corrik's) finds Anima! But the great Aeon requires a tithe...who shall be sacrificed at its altar?
---

Kirby is Not I'm Hit! and thus keeps Geesu Howardu's customizaburu
---

Strangely Home Yuna (Skyridge's) also finds Anima. It asks the same of her as it did its counterpart: who shall be sacrificed to gain its powers?
---

There's a limit to murder too y'know?
11 XP on Zeratul's Dark Templar upgrade, finishing it

also I just want to say how I was reading the Journal for M4 and seeing how FFD was portrayed as just yearning for death made me think about the last Twilight movie where there was one vampire who was so stoked that war was breaking out because it meant someone would kill him, and when someone got to him he was just like "Ugh, Finally"
---

And also that my head cannon of mercs is now all these great war generals across space and time who are basically in limbo or some other dark situation where they keep fighting with the promise being that the winner of mercs somehow gets to escape, but they never get to see the light of day
---

I've often said that Mercs is The Long Walk. You don't get to win, you only get to be the last person alive and then go crazy

Yes. Scarechan just compared something to twilight seriously.

I was often yearning for the sweet embrace of death, this is true.

Where is this M4 journal? I didn't pay attention to anything outside my bubble do it will all be fresh for me.

Was a link to it on discord. I read it. It misses a few events and basically skips over a lot of chris' stuff. But, it was a very interesting read.

Thanks Drak for honoring my request, appreciated.
---

no prob
---

Also I have no regrets about quitting when I did, except I should have done it months earlier when real life crushed my emotional stability to dust. I think that's kind of the difference between M3 and M4 even if people draw lines between them, I have pretty much nothing bad to say about M4, even the people I had feuds with within it. Just bad timing.

I will always appreciate Lopen putting up with me.

fuck ganondorf; way too hard to draw
