Eagerly awaiting that GM post. Iskander really hasn't gotten much in the way of social interaction so far.

Busy busy day X_X Sorry...

Getting on the GM post right now!

Edit: Posted. Lorenzo's a harsh dick, but he points out each character's flaws accurately.

Put the convo in a spoiler because Barrier of text.

LETS GO TO DIDNEY WORL, I MEAN SUNDEY LAN

Edited the bit to make it a bit more noticeable.

PFFF

Wow, Antwon really pissed the geezer off.

EDIT: Wow, he first chewed Utano out for not fighting, and then his reason for everyone failing is because they fought? Goddamn that pisses me off, what a hypocritical piece of shit.

As a sidenote, grats to @AtomicNut for getting SL.

Oh man. You have no idea how much Serah would be fuming right now if I typed what she's thinking. But everything she'd say would probably get her kicked out of there.

Goddamn he's even got purple hair, I've never been this angry at an RPNPC before, it's amazing.

EDIT: I'm honestly now thinking how OOC it would be for Elora to blow up like I did. It's really tempting to do.

I'm going to post in the morning, gotta cool off before I do anything I'd regret.

@Gnar The Missing Link Will be posting within an hour or two, Ian has some . . . . opinions on what Lorenzo said.

Sigma thinks Lorenzo is TAME in comparison to her trainer.

Iskander needs better dogma to be motivated. Tell him about King Antares of the First Hyperborean Empire, and how he wielded the Shadow Sword of Ultima Thule against Chaos Lord Angsaar at the Shrine of A'zura-Kai, where they battled for control of the Crystal of Mera. Then he'll get raring to go.

Antwon uses SASSAFRASS against Lorenzo.

It's Super Effective?

Alrighty, I think a little explanation is in order here in Lorenzo's reasoning and his asshole-ness:

This fight was fixed from the start.

Based upon how everyone was, their background, and how they were raised and their personality, Lorenzo already knew the battle was most likely going to go the way it was going to go because of a few reasons:

1) Zan = Basically a Robot who would follow orders to his grave.

2) Korie would want to go for the Promotion of a squad leader no matter what.

3) Antwon would make a shakey partner due to his past

4) Ian would be a problematic partner for the females of the group, especially considering Korie and their reluctance to reveal their gender.

Based on this, Lorenzo figured there would probably be an all out brawl, multiple teams, or people would want to be the squad leader due to greed and a power struggle as is human nature.

Thus, this 'mock battle' was mostly a test to see if you were all able to overcome your flaws as individuals in order to work together as groups or to avoid a greater conflict... which mostly no one did except Sigma's group.

So, what I'm saying is that you were all doomed to fail from the start, since I set you all up to fail from the start.

This is also how Sigma earned their promotion, because they were the only one who attempted to form a group with others in order to obtain a common goal despite how shaky it was.

In truth, the real reason you all failed was not because you fought or didn't fail, but it was because you all failed to overcome your flaws as individuals. That, was what this 'mock battle' true agenda was about. Drills are not always meant to have a chance of success, and this was one of them. Take this lesson and learn it, because it'll prove invaluable in the upcoming fights.

Lorenzo may be an asshole, but he is no idiot.

They played us like a damned fiddle!

omg these memes I'm done

Surprised GM didn't make themselves SL. I mean, it would make sense due to story advancement and stuff, so I was expecting it. Kudos for being outside-of-the-box though!

...Made sense? Korie did everything wrong. Sigma made the most sense by far consideringshe was the only one actually attempting to do anything, even if she still failed.

@Ammokkx I didn't say it would make sense to the story, but it would be easier for the GM to do stuff if they were the SL xD

...What was Iskander's flaw? He got pretty much no feedback from Lorenzo.
