It would be nice if you could just use a bunch of feathers to select an IV...

anybody remember those piakblu rumors? >.<

I thought they were one and the same. How do we know the name of the female version of Broly anyhow?

might as well go Xander if you don't have Ike or Hector.

yeah, but didn't someone say that they auto reduced the attack or damage on healers because they're healers?

I just assume Zarc never got far...

I spent some money. Way too much for a game like this, but money didn't get me my Titania or Soren draws, nor my Ryoma ones... though they probably helped. tbh, my main arena team is the same as it was at the beginning. But I am working up units to make a better team. And as chase said, collecting your favorites is probably more rewarding that the game itself. Once I'd finally pulled an Ike and Hector... my activity on the game died down quite a bit. Now that I have them, I want to use them. But at the same time, one has to consider time and time management.

I forget the names but there is a passive skill that drags back an enemy after you attack it. One is a command skill that pulls back an allied unit. Whatever the name, I can take a guess as to which Fabled Asian meant.... which is not the command skill.

Godot and I watched Guardians of the Galaxy 2 yesterday with a bunch of friends. We are Gdoot!!!! Movie ended at about 1 am Take that, Morgana!. Poor sucker had to be in to work early at like 7, for which he has to get up be up before 530. Oh, and he finally platinum'd Yookalaylee. So yeah, happy birthday, reprobate. My avatar even has a special message for you. Treasure it. You earned it. Edit: since I am invariably going to change my avatar the next time I feel like it...

Yeah, when you hold onto your unit for movement, there will blue movement squares next to your injured ally where you can put your unit. There's no manual activation, you just get to place 'em there.

I didn't take it as you being rude or anything bibs, but you did bring up some angry memories when I was drinking. Even after passing tests, people still do the wrong thing and cause accidents. And yet, we brave the outside world even so. Anyone else's lack of trust in other people or animals should govern their own decisions and actions. You do you and take your precautions. Your concerns, while understandable, do not alone force me to comply. Especially if the worse case scenario is getting nipped by a small animal. You aren't prey for any domestic dog, or even wolves. Like other animals, they don't turn to violence unless you do something they don't like. Like say, if you panic and try to injure one, or corner one, or really do something else unreasonable. They'd growl as a warning and bark and maybe try to intimidate you and try to scare you off but are unlikely to attack you, wild or not. You can take the obvious cues and leave unharmed. But a dog being walked without a leash? If they come up to you, they're only curious. They're not great whites, taking a bite out of you just because they're curious. They just don't work that way. You will KNOW if a doesn't like you and might attack. It won't even get close to you. It will simply bark and stand its ground, ears turned back. They would rather just have a show of force rather than attack or initiate conflict. Dogs are quite predictable, and I find a fear of them to be quite irrational.

??? what do you have on your kagero, cuz mine doesn't orko the sword guy on lunatic. Not even close. And any dancer I bring in gets eaten by the green mage.

@Sheep... who did you put up at sacrifice, and how did you move? Anybody I put in range pretty much died, except for a few configurations I don't remember. if you move anybody up on the left side, they get hit from all 3 weapon colors... Edit: I just pulled a mist after trying to save red orbs for the last summons again. Welp, at least I got the whole banner now??

.... that's a mighty fine restart. On that vein... let me show you you my latest summon session. Even though I promised myself to save up the orbs... I saved the only 2 red orbs for last. Can you tell? Now I gotta check their IV's, but I'm ecstatic atm. Edit: @Maximillion Pegasus Your ID numbers in the OP have been overwritten. One Ike is +hp - res. The other is -atk, + hp. the +hp -res is my best ike of 3 so far, or so it seems atm. Also, holy shit is the Lunatic Xander challenge ridiculous. ffffffff you. I tried the awesome rate banner. I should have stopped at the first pull. wtf is sa 3* A tiki? When did these start to exist? Turns out this Takumi is Neutral.

If you want to be able to carry and have boons for killing all the enemy assholes... You should try Battleborn.

Idk, a personal fear of dogs sounds like a personal problem. A fear of clowns doesn't put them into cages and muzzle them. It's true that some dogs are unpredictable, but certainly not all. I'm not even saying my dog is friendly and approaches strangers. He doesn't. He loves approaching other dogs though. And with the 'unpredictable ones' they're pretty predicable too. You just gotta watch their behavior and react accordingly. Be aware of your surroundings and their territorial nature. Be calm, slow and easy. ngl, chihuahuas are assholes. They're loud and noisy. But they're always the Jack Black method: And by your logic, no one should own guns cuz you never know who is gonna go crazy and be the next shooter. Or no one should have a driver's license because not everyone will be a good or responsible driver. If things happen, then someone has to take responsibility for the consequences, and I'm willing to do that.

So, I spent a ridiculous amount of orbs and I finally got an Ike. I also got two hectors in the same summon session in the other banner. The joke's on me though- all three are -Atk. Ike is + def, and the hectors are +res and +hp i think. I also got lucky and pulled two Ryoma's. both are +atk, but one is -def and the other is -spd. Even at -spd, 32 speed is pretty good. At the same time, -def loses him 4 points of def. So I'm leveling up the -spd one. I almost forgot that I rolled an Alm while looking for Ike. Also got a lot of 3* lon'qu for eventual Vantage 3 fodder. I've hit 20k feathers, and i'm tempted to 5* Zephiel and give him hive the extra Hector's distant counter. *insert evil laugh* but that would delay promoting lon'qus for that vantage inheritance. Got a couple of new 4* units to try too. Tharja M Corrin Setsuna

I've called him away from other dogs and held him by his collar... but that was all ever for the benefit of the owner of the other dog he came in contact with. I knew that he wouldn't do anything unfriendly, but it was always the owner I had to placate, to show that he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to. I can understand that they would be wary of a dog they didn't know. I've always made it a point to hold out my hand to dogs to sniff and be obvious unafraid and friendly towards. Most dog owners are afraid of other people being afraid of their dogs. Most dogs are happy to run up to people to lick and sniff them, but their owners know that there are plenty of people afraid of dogs, so they always reel them in. Especially around children. Rotweiler and pitbull owners are especially afraid for their dogs because of their reputations. There is so little trust these days.

" can anyone please explain to me why people dont keep their dogs on a leash when they go for a walk with them " Because even if they bark and yap, they're just a little dog and can't cause much problem, even if they wanted to. They're generally well behaved and the owners always have a leash on hand for the off chance that they start to behave unreasonably, like trying to go where you don't want them to go (such as in the street). Also, they're often well behaved or trained enough to listen to their owner's commands. At least is it so with my dog. I could make a case for bigger dogs, but that would take much more time and typing than this already is. I walked my dog without a leash one time, when I was able to come back home and to my neighborhood after 5 years of college and 5 years of active duty army service. He never left my sight and even when he didn't want to, he followed me home without that leash. He's very attached to his family, you see. Some asshat told me (with a practiced sales pitch) that the neighborhood association frowned upon a dog without a leash because, before, two people who had their dogs off their leash encountered each other and the larger dog attacked the much smaller dog. "It's better if they were all on leashes" is the nice version of what he said, so that the neighborhood would have less trouble. They didn't like the press, you see, even if my family who had continued to live there in my absence had never heard such a thing. He didn't say it this way in quite so many words and yet in so many other words that I've left out but... he disrespected the neighborhood I called home for the entirety of my life and the neighborhood park (the way it was created and maintained) I'd known all my life, the neighborhood pond, with words he thought would calm and placate me. With his telling of the way his 'amazing' ability to get things done after he moved here suddenly made things better... when I knew there was barely any change. But the main thing is he he also disrespected the idea that I knew my dog and what he was and wasn't capable of, that owners were to be stripped of their own judgement and responsibility for some superficial veneer of safety. I'm not the average person. My dog isn't the same as whatever garbage dog he thinks he does or doesn't know. It's part of his agenda to sell his house at a higher price when he leaves, by showing a more controlled, genteel neighborhood without google-able incidents. He pretty much told me so himself in spiel, hoping to gain my support. He told me he was also former military and wouldn't I also like to sell our house and get out of here at a good price? I hated his guts instantly. He has the same oily, bullshit personality as the guy who stole $900 worth of gear from a military locker. I would also rather have my arm broken and torn up than see harm come to our dog or any other dog. Even if attacked, I know how to prevent either. I hate it when police shoot dogs. I know who the real bitches are in those cases... If any dog tried to attack mine, I would break that dog with my bare hands... And I would never file a suit against the owner. I understand my dog and take full responsibility for his actions. And I take responsibility for my own actions and decisions. No piece of shit who lacks the appreciation for the care and understanding of a good dog is gonna tell me that I can't trust my dog and require him to be on a leash if I don't want to him to be on one. I also understand how other dogs react and behave. This isn't my first dog. In my time, between my direct family and cousins who live the neighborhood over, we've owned a Dalmatian, a doberman pincer, a husky mix, and several indiscernible mutt mixes. I also have hands on experience with several 'oh so dangerous' pitbulls owned by others who had never met me before. I have also encountered several 'stray' dogs (that was how our cousins got their husky mix). Dogs are not new to me. Animal behavior is not new to me. If zoology had been a major offered at UNM, that would be what my degree would have been. Instead, I had to settle for general biology. If any other dog tries to attack him or he tries to attack other dogs, or if ANY dog tries to attack any person I will interfere personally. Because I know dogs. I know how they play. I know how they fight. I know how they would attack and kill. Because I know my dog, because I was there when my family adopted him (AGAINST MY WISHES, MIND YOU) and when he was introduced to other dogs and cats he did not know over the years and after all the years we've had him, I know what he is like and what he will do. Remember, I am/was a soldier. I have every intent and ability to protect others from attacks, both foreign and domestic. I fear no dog attack. Ever. He chases cats and tries to befriend them, because his original owner had cats and were family to him (she was moving and she couldn't take him with her). The cats never trust him and he has never tried to hurt any of them, or even barked at them. There is a neighborhood cat who likes to stay at my aunt's house and even plays with- and takes care of- her chihuahuas. Because he's a bigger dog, she doesn't trust him, but he has never approached her any closer than she would allow. I've already walked him through our neighborhood for years. Without a leash. This asshat is some new neighbor with his own agenda. He can go fuck himself. My agenda is the happiness and well-being of my family's dog. Nothing more, nothing less. I also have the physical and monetary capability to make good on my promises and intent, and I have no intention of ever giving up my own freedom of choice and responsibility to treat my pet with the understanding and respect he deserves to ignorant, unwarranted fear. btw, this is the breed of dog my family decided to adopt because my brother really, really wanted a pet, but was highly allergic to most pets at the time. They chose him because they don't shed hair or dander like other dogs and are pretty much hypo allergenic. Tell me if you think this breed looks powerful and dangerous. Tell me if you think a dog like him needs a leash. He is a Bichon Frise If I don't walk my dog with a leash, it's because I have every reason to trust him, and the ability to counteract any human or animal I see who I don't trust. You asked. I answered. Angrily. There has never been a dog on or off a leash I have ever been afraid of. And there never will be. Even if I mistrust a dog, I am prepared, not afraid. Dogs are more than pets. They are family. Anyone without compassion for a pet has no soul and shouldn't be trusted. I look down on anybody and everybody who has no compassion for- or understanding of- other animals. except for cows. they are both vapid and delicious
