It makes a lot of sense as an investment in terms of possibly providing automated opponents and certainly a smarter pre-alpha testing environment. Possibly cutting development costs and getting the product out more quickly.

Assuming that it is properly trained, which is a long way from a given.

I am coming for lounge queen votes. What is that you ask? Well I made it up so umm. . . just roll with it for now. And I shall be your queen.

Cyndilou is our queen but I’m sure you could have a really cool tiara and sparkly gown if you wanted. Heck, I’d even vote for a wand. :hugs:

I wanted to take things over by force. No death and agony? No strife? Aww.

This is fine too.

I got a look at the Red Truths concerning Battler in Umineko When They Cry:

https://07th-expansion.fandom.com/wiki/Alliance_of_the_Golden_Witch/Colored_Text#Battler's_Parentage

The requirements of being a worthy opponent to Beatrice is being Battler Ushiromiya and the Grandchild of Kinzo Ushiromiya. Ange noticed that it did not mean he had to be Asumu’s Child which brings up a more interesting point:

Note the word Grandchild not Grandson!

Is Battler actually male?

Furthermore we know for a fact that Rika had been replaced in Higurashi Rei with a replacement Queen Carrier so whose to say Battler is any different considering he or she is Bernkastel’s piece.

Furthermore Kinzo’s Gender is also unstated in Red. For all we know he is a Looper version of Rika Furude sharing a Body with Battler or to be more accurate Battler is sharing a Body with her due to also being a Looper and thus she is forced into the Ushiromiya family because Battler is part of it.

Don’t forget that Rika shows Red Eyes similar to Witch Satoko who is practically stated by Eua to be a separate Looper from Satoko having Looped into her before Satoko was given Looping as a power.

If Battler was sent to Rokkenjima because Asumu’s side of the family is gone then Eua(who is Hanyuu and Rika’s Mother’s side of the Family)'s disappearance at the end of Higurashi Sotsu leads to Rika and the Red Eyed Witch inside her getting sent to Rokkenjima due to holding Rudolf Ushiromiya’s offspring inside her.

Naturally Rika wouldn’t want to spend time with a pack of metaphorical vultures(including Eva/Miyo Takano) seeing her as a Test Subject and would just tune out leaving Battler to do everything.

(Lady Cyndi Lou wanders in.)

Happy Midsummer! Dream well tonight everyone!! :sun_with_face:


If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber’d here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends

People ask for upright undead and they give this:

Stop giving Horde races to Alliance, another variation of a humanoid race is the last thing Alliance needs. Give them something unique that Horde does not have like Sethrak.

I’m feeling that dev’s lack imagination amd listening skills here.

People asked for skinny Kul’Tiran and they are given that too.

It must be difficult to add a toggle for both undead and Kul’Tiran.

No one asked for this feature for humans.

So the day has finally arrived - Dragonflight preorders are live

…anyone else concerned/worried? :laughing:

I dunno, I just sense a “rush job” for some reason… that’s what my intuition/6th sense is telling me. Alpha isn’t even out yet, and we’ve been shown very very little (“surface level” trailer/cinematic stuff)…

With the expectations sooo friggin high/people expecting it to be “the next Legion” in terms of quality I have my doubts they’ll be able to cram hard enough to release a “fully-baked” expansion 4-5 months from now

I’ll probably pre-order but I’ll wait until I see a lot more details before I do.

On the other hand, that Summer Pack really looks tempting.

Would have to look into it further, it’s $50 for base, which I most likely to get if I decide to stay. However this could be a sign it can drop in the fall.

Didn’t expect the pre-order out this fast.

I’ll be pre-ordering once I figure it into my monthly budget
