I raised you, and loved you, I've given you weapons, taught you techniques, endowed you with knowledge. There's nothing more for me to give you. All that's left for you to take is my life.
I only want Raikou from the new banner, and I only have enough quartz to do a single 10-spin, so I know I should wait until her individual rate-up.

But also I've had $200 in notes sitting in my wallet since Xmas, so it's not like it's really spending money if I grab some Google Play cards, right? Physical cash is basically already spent.

I just want that friggin' dopamine hit

I wasn't familiar with the new Assassin, Charlotte Corday, which got me looking up her history, and the dude she assassinated, Jean-Paul Marat, which, holy crap.

Marat spent the early days of the revolution attacking any 'moderate' revolutionaries (Those NOT in favor of violent extremism), calling them enemies of the republic, and made statements such as '600 severed heads would would have assured your repose, freedom and happiness'. As the revolution went on, he circulated an idea that if foreign invaders or counter-revolutionaries would burst open the city's prisons and use the prisoners as soldiers to retake France, so the solution was kill everyone in the prisons. Which people actually did, in Paris and elsewhere, more than a thousand people methodically guillotined. That accomplished, he went back to his favorite pasttime of attacking any moderate revolutionaries, claiming that they were covert enemies of the republic (If-you're-not-with-me-you're-against-me), and advocating violence against them; which had basically destroyed the movement by the time Charlotte killed him.

While was "short in stature, deformed in person, and hideous in face", had a persistent skin condition (Which is why he was assassinated in the bathtub: He conducted all his affairs from a medicinal bath that helped ease the pain of his condition), the painting The Death of Marat depicted him as smooth skinned and handsome; he was eulogized by the Marquis De Sade: "Like Jesus, Marat loved ardently the people, and only them. Like Jesus, Marat hated kings, nobles, priests, rogues and, like Jesus, he never stopped fighting against these plagues of the people." They even used his bust instead of a crucifix during their attempts at creating new state-religions and dechristianizing France.

So basically Charlotte is actually kind of a hero for putting a stop to him.

Corday's artist is the Boudica/Parvati guy, and I'm really happy he didn't let people sending him loving death threats discourage him. Never really got the hate for him anyway. Taiga looks great.

God drat, that luck. It took me 36 tickets and 180 quartz to do the same.

She definitely saved a lot of people's lives, particularly in Paris. Her nickname isn't "The Angel of Assassination" for nothing.

It wasn't quite the "I have killed one man to save one hundred thousand" that she claimed it was, though. The Reign of Terror didn't really get going until after he died. Robespierre killed great boatloads of people without needing any help from Marat. And I mean that literally.

I planned to keep rolling until I got at least one of the new servants, luckily Helena (the one I probably wanted most) popped up with just 60 quartz.

Also, maybe it's just me, but does anyone else find Raikou's summer art unsettling? Giant tits are whatever, but the rest of her torso looks like it's literally skin and bones. :gonk:

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

The full set was about to rotate out, so I got a Discord buddy to do a pull for me at dinner following us going to see the Love Live movie together. Turned out super well, if I do say so myself:

I should’ve waited for Maid Alter, but I’m happy with what I have here.

Last time I got someone to do a pull for me (on my birthday last October at NYCC), I got TamaCaster. I guess I should get more people to do pulls for me, if it works out like that.

Haven’t been playing this Event as much as I really should, work has been kicking my rear end hard. I really burned out during the previous Summer rerun too, even if I did get TamaLancer from a ticket from one of the times I logged in during that event. Is there any way I can get Mash’s swimsuit outfit later?

It’s Raita, he’s kinda known for that kind of look. Comes from being a doujin artist as his day job...

i uh, between the two summer banners i rolled 960 quartz and got 8 SSRs, only 3 of which were the rate-up (np2 CasNero, np1 maid). two artorias, two vlads, and drake. Was considering rolling a few more tonight but I don't want more than 3 helenas, so I'll wait for raikou's solo up before i try for 3 copies of her (got one).

Her plan utterly backfired. After his assassination Marat became a martyr, causing an increase in the influence of his writings and an intensification of violence and extremism.

Vengarr posted:

No she didn't, her actions made things worse. Marat was actually losing influence and was pretty isolated when she killed him. His murder caused him to receive center stage and helped lead to the Terror.

It's been tough resisting the urge to roll more before Fran's solo day, but I managed it. I was really only aiming for her but the game loves giving me casters so I was prepared for more. And indeed...



Not pictured: the other two ten-rolls I did right before this where I managed to score a copy of the 5* CE. Now I have everything I could have hoped for out of this event.

Transform and waaauuuugh out!
I dig the Iskander changes. One of his biggest issues up until now was that he was so focused on his one turn of burst that outside of his NP turn, he didn't really contribute to the fight. Now he gives everyone 3 turns of NP Damage, and Crit Damage as well, which enables him (or any other servant should he not draw his cards) to deal more damage off the stars his NP generates.

The appmedia account reminds everyone that Merlin and Chen Gong give a combined 100% buster and a 30%NP charge on a buster unit combined with a Waver and the Mage uniform gets you to 100.

Same, wife pulled Salter Rider in a single 10 spin, so K believed in the magic of the gacha, and was thoroughly rejected. That's two SSRs in back to back 10 spins so I assume she is some kind of luck vampire.

60 quartz and 16 tix total got me Nero, NP2 Helena, and both the 5* CEs. A rousing success. Certainly beats the 400 or so quartz to finally get Rider Morded last month (and now my Tamalancer is NP4).
