It gives the target energy, morale and stun damage. Can't use that energy and morale Zzzing on the floor.

Not even sure enemies use energy.

16 stun damage. Gnome has about 40 health. Easy.

Next time use good touch insead of bad.

Good touch is not mitigated by armor!

I can answer some of those questions.

Singer zombees used to toss flames before, too. If they got too close. (Closer than SMG or even Shotgun range, to be honest. This meant that any kind of shooty gal loadout could deal with them at ranges singers were not effective).

The Singer's flame attack is psi. That means that the AI will not even attempt it if the chance is too low. As with most(all?) Psi attacks against you, a number of factors are used, from Voo to Doo to inherent psi defense bonuses from armors, to (i think) morale.

The flame attack itself is mitigated by Burn resist although not sure whether the numerical armor value is taken into account. Maybe?

The seduction attempt you need is "Good touch" (gigglesnort). Indeed Wench outfit has it, but you probably need 2 wenches.

I am told that a trained Seductress with Seduction might work too. Emphasis on might. If not, Seductress good touch.

There are a number of other options. Wrenching her CAREFULLY, then cattle prods. Chem shotgun ammo then Cattle Prods.

Actually, that's about it. Didn't get into really esoteric contraptions like 50 mumbleballs or weird stuff like that although it MIGHT work.

Sigh.

Why does this happen to me? It has been almost a year since I bailed on the dweebs. Jack's town is a shanty town but no one knows me here. *Obviously* I was seeing Savage Basilisk on the side, but lately she has become increasingly sad and depressed. Came crying to me because the 'leaders' the piratical enterprise were increasingly unhinged and/or weird. And people kept DYING. She was longing for the days when we were a bunch of insane gals punching nurses in the face for giggles and money. Apparently, they even have a Lokk'Nar smalltit gal pretend to be leader right now.

She put on an adorable pout and large puppy eyes and asked if I could help her. Damn it. This is not supposed to happen!! I can also pout and have puppy eyes, why can't I persuade people like that too?!

Ok, so I had her put some very trusty runts of hers to lay down some computers here in my house. NO WAY I am walking in that stinkden, mainly because I heard they like 'interrogate' traitors. But we'll work something out, I am sure of it. I told her that I am doing this for HER and after one month this foolishness has to stop! And hopefully no one will be wiser.

This idea is stupid. This is stupid. Why am I doing this? I am stupid. This is stupid. This will not end well.

Fucking dweebs.

The disadvantage being that you use a grav harness and a weapon which eats 35% TUs as opposed to fixed costs.

High-tech problems require low-tech solutions.

Merc Shields are blue, which means they take full damage from cutting.

In order of suicidalness, if you want to strip blue shields fast, you have a few options:

-Arena Slaughter cannon. - Cutting damage shotgun.
-Crate of violence. -Cutting explosive, x4 damage due to hitting multiple tiles.
-A strong gal with a bow. - Ranged single target cutting.
-Daggers/Sudoku blades/Sabers/Vibroswords - Melee cutting.

Easiest is trowung a crate of violence at them then letting the rockets fly.

We are closing up on our first complete pass through the roster.

As a note, there were certainly too many signups, because players starting dropping in the second half. For sure, the next game I organize will have either fewer players or shorter turns!

Are you using armors that are appropriate for underwater?

Intelligent zombies (singer, strix) are intended to panic when on fire. Also they can surrender.

While superhuman ironman is doable, and even doable without any losses, you have to know what you're doing.

The necropirate raid requires luck and risk management, bikes are an EXTREMELY bad ship, especially on JS, ESPECIALLY on a pogrom, and the humanist armory requires strong weapons, personal armor, good melee skils and/or lots of camping. Also convoy bad.

I don't think I'll accept more people now, it's difficult getting the people I already have to write. Besides, I'm not sure how long the queue is gonna be. There's already close to 2 months wait time to get the turn back.

Congratuations, now you found out why it's a bad idea to do deals with an evil corporation mega-state without reading the fine print.

Ok, for anyone who missed it, I regularily attach savegames to the top post. It's a bit ahead than the written reports, so you can check how our favourite band of naked misfits is doing.
