Meridia the Pirate Queen conducting her campaign to take over the world!

Memorable recurring moments:

"Hello and welcome everyone..."



"Perfect."



"This weapon is useless!"



In other news, another "Strange Message" appeared on few' Pirate Captains' main screens:
My dear challengers. I am lowering the Throwing skill cap to 90, effective 0.97C (there should be no possibility of a perfect grenade throw). If you don't stop spamming the throwing training exploit, I might consider lowering it further. Love and kisses- Well-Wisher.

I have nothing against it... feel free to lower it even to 70-80, that's more than enough.

But I cannot stand having initial throwing of 20 !!!!!!!!

We are not spamming exploits to get from 60 to 100... but from 20 to 60.

Edit: also can you please resize the last picture? it takes too much space, it's hard to read the text...

The Nerf Hammer Strikes Again!    Bows and Throws now join Hammers on the rack.

In other news,  I was reflecting on how great that haul was with all those amazing armors.  In half the episodes, Meridian is far past my progress in 52 episodes.  Luck or skill?  Definitely Skill.   (Its only March in his campaign, and I was up to July when mine ended).

Well I wouldn't either, that's why minimum is at 30, not 20, please do not invent things that do not exist

The goal here is to, naturally, make grenades more like a 'decision' than a 'clean'n'easy enemy-b-gone kit'. All enemies have their throwing reduced substantially as well, to make it fair - now the AI can and will sometimes miss with grenades, unless from close-by. From my experience, to be 100% sure a grenade lands on target you need 100 Throwing, but with Throwing 50-60, you throw on target at least 3 times out of 4. With 30 Throwing, it's 50/50 or so. I don't consider this that much of a hindrance since if I want to grenade someone, I will always have 2-3 people ready to prime and throw. It does however limit bows and knives to those with really good initial skill.

PS. cannot resize, too much effort, this is a link from the net, sorry...

Whoops, I thought I fixed that already It will be 30 then. I think you can add 5 to everyone's throwing to account for that (unless it'll take them over 60).

OK, thank you.

Could I make it a bit differently? +10 to all girls which have less than 30 ... no change for anyone with 30 or more... with that change I am happy to stop spamming flares.

[Dioxine]

Works for me, maestro

The blaster explosion was so strong it damaged all CCTV cameras in our hideout.
For that reason FPS drops to about 5 frames per second after the 24th minute.
Sorry folks, it gets better in the next episode.
