Yes, and was not a valid choice of victor. I actually searched and tried to confirm what the precedent was there, and it was not in favor of the cow's win counting.

fuck you

precedent's wrong

Bass succeeds. Select a custom to discard.

(and remember that Anima will go on CD for 4 weeks after being used. It's not a daily custom.)

I'm cool with this, though I'll have to put some research into making it a good match.
---

Introductions to the events:

---

Hotter than Hell:

We argue about who would win in a fight all the time, but there's a much pressing matter we've yet to discuss: Who's hotter? Select five mercenaries and battle fiercely to prove you have the best looking squad against a handpicked set of characters out to prove they're the most sensual mercenaries of all time. Of all time!

---

Rain, Rain, Go Away:

Stranded in an alien planet. Surrounded by hostile forces on all sides. Facing ever-worsening odds. Your only way out is to defeat everyone who stands in your way using scavenged weaponry and gadgets to aid you in your quest. Watch out - tonight, it's partly cloudy with risk of rain.

---

Re;Birth 3:

They never asked for this. But they're back again, and now they've come back to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And they're really, really, REALLY all outta gum.

---

Re;Birth 4:

War has changed. Psionic ninjas and telepaths battle with power-armored badasses, and massive mecha walk the earth. Can your team's old-school prowess overcome the dangers of modern technology, or will you be crushed underfoot by soldiers from a different age?

---

Future Sight III & IV

More glimpses at what could be, this time in the most volatile tier of them all. Old and new, popular and obscure - can you handle the power of these versatile mercenaries?

---

We Are ROCK-Men!!

The Blue Bomber has brought joy to millions with his challenging, addictive games - but he's not the only one worthy of that title. Across the decades, many bearers to the name of Mega Man have emerged - and today, they have all come together to stand against all challenges. They are blue. They are strong. They...are the Mega Men!

---

Literary Lunacy:

Ahh, text, the antithesis of Mercenaries. Who needs it when you've got videos and gifs? Well, these guys do. Hailing from an alternate universe where Mercenaries centered around books instead of videogames, they've been brought here by a timely dimensional interval, and are looking to kill some time. Will flashy gameplay feats overcome the power of the written word, or will the pen turn out to be mightier than the joystick after all?
---

(If you have any questions or concerns, let me know.)
---

I dont feel like I know enough about...any of these to even challenge them.

Other than the hotness one I suppose
---

The two Re;Birth ones are pretty approachable I wanna say. All big names there, with the smallest one being...Jensen I think?
---

10 exp into dizzy going 'grr' in high, bye passive
10 exp into super duper sonic
---

10 to finish Geese's High Rise
I have down that I have 20 on Barrel Roll but with how much I've mucked up XP I trust your notes over mine
hey I can relink Harth to Geese now right so let's do that
---

you'll get it right one day, tom

(That's a peace action)
---

Someone check if Kirby has been hit for his two Tira forms he brought in
---

(Be sure to use the 10% chance)
---

Also the mercs you can bring in are fully upgraded right. I believe that was what the case was with Eddv?
---

So does Jr. Mantis actively want to kill the other team when he's with Eli or is he content to screw about doing nothing?
---

Ew... Literary Lunacy is a suicide battle, even without rand. Harry Dresden is that scary.

Whoever thought Dresden was a 5 is wrong <_<

Yes this was true
---

Eli plus Tretji if he's actively trying is like a 12
---

I wouldn't take Dresden over Sora under any circumstances except Sora not having his keyblade at all. Same for like, a lot of other dudes. Harry's offensively very strong but his defenses fold pretty easily against dudes with matching firepower.

As seen in the bossfight. Tretij isn't gonna be handing out Burning Man powerups but he's making Sahelanthropus work.

100% disagree with the mantle of the winter knight. He can take absurd damage.

Neither Tira form is lost.

It's explicitly stated that Winter's mantle is primarily pain ignorance, not defense buffs. Believe me dude, I know my Dresden Files.

DC (1 GP) > Tirofog (NO BID)
Chris (NO BID) < Mewtwo (4 GP)

Scare (20 GP) > Jeezy (6 GP)
Johnbobb (5 GP) < Tom (10 GP)

Scare selects Mid.
Tom selects Low.
---

Kan's just making sure he follows in a long line of bad Merc events.
---

Mid

And yes, confirming this is correct.
