No the chips were each a proportion of the player's debt, so the bloke was under the impression that because Yumeko had the highest debt her chips were worth the most, when in reality Mary's declared debt was highest. Edit: No wait, I rewatched it and now I understand what happened. Step 1. Mary goes to the student council and falsely declares that she owes Suzui 260 million yen. She also asks them to consolidate the debt over to the student council. Thus Suzui gets a payment of 260 million yen and both Yumeko and Mary owe the student council 310 million yen. Step 2. When they collect their cards Mary correctly declares that she owes 310 million yen, and Yumeko lies and declares that she only owes 50 million yen. Thus for the purposes of the game Mary's chips are worth far more than Yumeko's. Step 3. Yumeko and Mary switch cards on the way to the game, so when they show up they are displaying the debts that their opponents expect to see. The only players who know the true value of the chips are Yumeko, Mary, and the dealer. Step 4. Under this new scheme Mary wins, the side girl comes 2nd, Yumeko comes 3rd, and the bloke comes last. Mary swaps her 310 million yen debt with the loser's 10 million yen debt, and then the 10 million yen debt is absolved. Mary now owes the student council nothing, while the debts of Yumeko and the other girl are unchanged. However, Yumeko across the course of the game motivated the other girl to try and lose the debt herself. Step 5. Mary collects the money from Suzui, she is now 260 million yen in the positive while Yumeko still owes the student council 310 million yen. What Mary will do with that money is unclear.

Spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but I'm hoping someone can explain something for me. I get that Yumeko and Mary switched debt plates, but what's all the other stuff about? How does lending Suzui a giant pile of money increase Mary's debt? Surely if anything it increases Suzui's debt, not Mary's?

Don't worry too much about picking up ascension materials, you'll get them through playing the events, and better locations for drops open up later on down the line. It's much easier that way than grinding on the dailies. As for my targets? Cu Chulainn-F/SN, Scathach, Arjuna, and Lancelot-Saber are the only servants I'm interested in picking up and don't already have. I'll need a copy of the 2030 CE as well. It'll require a lot of luck though, because Arjuna only goes on a solo rate up once, and in the Japanese version that came shortly after the Scathach+2030 rate up. It's unlikely that I'll get all 3 in such a short amount of time.

No idea if I'm late but happy birthday Jerry, you're a cool dude but one of the cool things about you is that you don't need me to tell you that. Are you on discord much? Maybe I'll hit you up. I'm there pretty often but I don't pay much attention to the reborn one.

This is so damn relatable. Anyway if my man Dan makes a thread how can I not stop lurking for a minute to wish you well? Happy birthday Ame, it was a pleasure working with you in what small capacity I did. I wish you all the best today and for the future.

Genny's not bad compared to stock healers but she is bad compared to inherited healers that can actually use Wrathful Staff well. I run a Wrathful Staff Lucius and he's out here ORKOing peeps. Unless you have an attachment to Genny as a character she really should be sacrificed to give Wrathful Staff to one of Elise/Priscilla/Lucius/Serra. Those four (plus a few others conditional on +Atk) can use the skill much better than she can.

Yeah Ike was obvious, I called it as soon as the new herofest was announced. Still relieved that he is on there though. My current cav squad runs Olwen and Reinhardt both with Dire Thunder and having the two blue mages is great. They carve a path through just about anything when covered by Stahl and Titania.

If you have horse buffs then Olwen will destroy almost anything you can dream up. She's a very powerful unit, but there's nothing saying you can't run her and Ursula. People on reddit have compared the herofest announcement silhouette with some character outlines and it looks like the featured heroes will be Ike (thank goodness), Ninian, Julia, and Genny. If you're after one of these units you'd best save your orbs.

They need to release it. They've only localized up until the end of Rome.

There's really no point in running anything other than buster spam at this point in the game because enemy HP totals are so low. I can clear a grinding mission in 3-4 turns just by bringing double Lancelot. Arts becomes more relevant later on, and quick never really picks up. It's too weak, and you can generate stars through skills/CEs just fine if you want them.

Yeah I've been messing around on the NA server since it was released for a second chance at failing to get all of the servants that I want. Ain't nothing better than F/GO rates. I'm on my second account now, which I've only had for a week so it doesn't have much trained but what I have is a nice little crit team that's well enough to last me 'til the Scathach rate up. 269,424,485 Any: Jeanne d'Arc Saber: - Archer: - Lancer: - (Really hoping for a Cu F/SN out of the FP gacha ngl).

Top 10 waifus? From a list of 60 I've managed to condense it down into this list of 10 super hot waifus. 10. Clair (SoV). 9. Sonya (SoV). 8. Selena (Fates). 7. Titania (Tellius). 6. Nephenee (Tellius). 5. Olwen (Thracia 776). 4. Marisa (Sacred Stones). 3. Charlotte (Fates). 2. Vika (Radiant Dawn). 1. Cordelia (Awakening).

RIP Charlotte goes from 2. to not even an honorable mention. Truly Hunter is a fickle husbando. Mine hasn't really changed at all except the likely inclusion of Olwen near the top having now played about 2/3rds of Thracia 776. So that'd be like: 10. Kagero. 70% Str/Spd 1-2 range debuffing death machine. 9. Rath. A mounted archer with a good offensive spread and picks up swords on promote. Literally everything you could want in an archer, except availability. 8. Ike. Badass lord who doesn't take anyone's nonsense but is sensible enough to not go looking for unnecessary fights either. Good stat distribution, powerful signature ability and weapon, and refreshingly isn't nobility. 7. Charlotte. Crits for days and a hilarious personality. 6. Stahl. Top 10 biggest anime bros. 5. Olwen. B R A V E M A G I C O N A H O R S E. She can also use wind magic when she doesn't want to use up her Dire Thunder uses, and has another signature weapon which is a high might high crit Brave Sword which is effective against cavalry and gives her +10 Res and Miracle. 4. Azama. Troll god who happens to have high stats in like everything except magic, which you don't even need to heal people in Fates. 3. Zihark. #Youcan'tseeme. Between his 40 Spd and Earth Affinity this guy is practically impossible to hit. He also has innate Adept and frequently attacks 8 times a turn with the Brave Sword and about a 30-40% crit rate. If they're still alive that is. 2. Lewyn. The only guy harder to hit than Zihark. Lewyn's signature weapon gives him +20 Spd and is 1-2 range. ?!?!?!? It's also 30 might so this guy eats whole armies for breakfast. He's also like an awesome character so there's that too. 1. Cordelia. Objective best waifu who also demolishes all of Awakening from the point that she joins. Honorable mentions: Effie. Bench presses trees. Lucius. Definitely not a healer. Titania. Best early game prepromote hands down. Nephenee. A rare footslogging lance unit who isn't slow as dirt. Haar. The single strongest flying unit there ever has been and ever will be. Brigid. Did I say Rath was everything you ever wanted in an archer? How about bases that are near caps and a bow that's 30 might, gives +10 Str/Spd, and heals you? Mareeta. Sooooooo muuuuuuch oooooooverkill. Personal Brave Sword with added extras, 60/75/80 Str/Skl/Spd, Luna, Astra, and a 5x multiplier to her crit chance on any of her "second" attacks.

I'm okay with this. Very okay with this.

Hi.

Hey Inuki, firstly I really want you to have a great day, go gettem as I frequently get told. We don't often chat but when we do you're cool and I'm obviously cool so we're cool. Keep up the good work 'cause you're important to people who are important to me which makes you important to me, and if you ever need advice on something that I can help with hit me up, I'm always happy to help. Last thing I've never forgotten: http://i.imgur.com/V9tSOCH.gif

I've gotta admit I grinned when I read that. They really don't know you very well. The idea that right wing or religious people (heaven forbid both in one) cannot possibly be autonomous critical thinking individuals with rational and defensible reasons for what they think is right is a sad one. I suppose it stems from absolute confidence that the progressive athiest/agnostic mindset is the correct one, and thus anyone who thinks differently must have simply not considered the problem well enough to find the right answer. This has been an interesting read thus far, and while I don't agree with a lot of your political standpoints, we share very similar core philosophies. Anyone who believes what they believe, with respect to theism or politics, without having thought about the issue critically and come to an informed, justified position is treading dangerous water, especially if they're vocal about it. As I'm sure you well know I'm not a creationist (though for the benefit of anyone else reading I am Christian), and the notion that many believers hold, that the bible is the only source of factual information that can explain creation, and that something is to be interpreted factually purely because it was written in the book is an attitude that I think needs to go. I'm happy for people to believe in creationism if that's what they want to believe, but don't try to maintain that you know the truth of this world based on the writing in a book, because at that point you're lying even if you don't realise it. I suppose my beef is with people who substitute belief for knowledge, and the primary cause for this (the way I see it anyway) is a lack of critical thinking. On the topic of truth, before this year I probably would have argued in favour of truth being something that's subjective, but I've been converted. Murder wouldn't be so universally seen as wrong throughout different cultures and a long period of human history if it wasn't something that is morally wrong. The fact that so many different civilisations have laws against it is a clear demonstration that time and again in complete isolation we come to the same conclusion, murder is wrong. That's not to say that killing cannot be justified, but I think there is a clear difference between killing and murder. The way I see it governments are erected by civilisation at least in part so that they may help to uncover what these objective truths are, such that we might better align our societies alongside them. Unfortunately the nature of many truths is not quite so obvious as "should it be okay to commit murder" hence why there are very differing positions on contentious issues. I'd say it's very likely though, that someone in that great roiling debate has got the right idea, and only by considering each viewpoint carefully and critically can we come to a conclusion about which one is the one we want to go with. Trying to claim that people who hold different opinions to your own are already wrong, and simply haven't thought hard enough, doesn't help the issue.

Ah that's a fair call, I'd forgotten about Pent and Louise. Yeah I lumped FE's 11, 12, and 15 in with 1, 2, and 3 though. Also I wish but I can't, for starters I don't have the game (though that's not a big deal, I could go and buy it at any time), also my sister's boyfriend is borrowing my 3DS at the moment and he lives over the other side of the state from me while I'm at uni, and also also I'm at uni. Right now I'm trying to churn out assignments and I don't really have a lot of time. After this I have four weeks of professional experience and I'm going to be more busy then than I am now, and then I get a week off before I start it all over again. So you're looking at about 6-7 weeks before the earliest point at which I'll be in a position to discuss Echoes. Eliwood and Ninian isn't really canon. Eliwood can marry Ninian, Lyndis, or Fiora and all three add a scene to the ending where they're talking to the tactician about getting married. There isn't really any canon pairing for Eliwood, though many people will tell you it's Ninian. Particularly astute critics of the Ninan pairing will point out how if Eliwood married Ninian then Roy would be half manakete, just like Sophia, but while Sophia doesn't appear to age at all during the time between Blazing Blade and Binding Blade, Roy very visibly does.

Charlotte, Cordelia, and Lyn will never have canon pairings. I don't think they've ever done canon pairings since Jugdral.

Maybe it means the real Charlotte isn't too far off. She's pretty high in the popularity rankings of Fates characters we don't have yet. Beaten by Anna, Selkie, Soleil, and Kaze. And we kind of have Anna.

What I've been working on since finishing Cordelia:

-Atk Kagero has 37 Atk with the Poison Dagger+, which translates into 55 Atk against infantry. I call that usable. -Spd is much worse than -Atk. In other news I summoned a +Atk -Spd Genny today, not that the nature matters because she is 100% Wrathful Staff fodder for Lucius. You know, when I summon him. Today is a good day.

Coughdon'tsleeponOlwencough. With similar optimal skill inherit builds and Hone Cavalry support Olwen hits 120 wins, 2 losses, 8 draws, while Reinhardt hits 116 wins, 3 losses, 11 draws. Reinhardt is also killed by more units than Olwen when attacked due to his lack of speed leading to him being doubled. It's 29 kills on Olwen to 32 kills on Reinhardt in that respect. Lastly Olwen through a combination of her high Spd and Res walls magic hard, while Reinhardt struggles to say he walls anything. You can make up your own mind about which one has slightly more potential, certainly Reinhardt is easier to get and requires less investment to be good, but you should never create a list of top tier blue mages that doesn't have both on it. And only after writing this I notice you said out of the box. Whatever, it's still a point that's worth putting out there because too many people sleep on Olwen. Imo for blue mages with SI taken into account Olwen=Reinhardt>Ursula>Linde>Lucina-S>Mae>Robin>Odin.

If I was to draw a theoretical winners bracket up based on who's in the game at the moment it'd probably have Lucina, Camilla, Tharja, Lyn, Ike, Hector, Celica, and someone like Ephraim/Alm/Chrom/Robin/Reinhardt/Azura or maybe some Heroes waifu like Linde/Julia/Nino/Cordelia/Kagero/Minerva heck maybe even Ninian if they do a dragons one. Whoever's in that last slot isn't going to beat one of the aforementioned 7 though, and I'd put money on the finals being Lucina vs Ike and Lucina thrashing him.
