Sorry, I think I played this and AI Wars too much at once and sort of burned myself out on them, been playing a bunch of other stuff since. I will pick these back up again, just like I did with Shadowrun. Probably a lot more quickly.

Eh, I'll come back eventually. Shadowrun was daunting too but I finished that as well. I've also got the AI wars screenshots.

So many new games I've been interested coming out lately.

I have a shameful confession to make...

I bought Xcom on sale here a couple of days ago, and been playing that instead of continuing my Silent Storm LP.. :oops:

Probably gonna sail the seven seas and see if I can catch a glimpse of Sarah Kerrigan as well. :roll:

Damn gods.

That's bad. Happened to me once too. There was this retarded (literally) kid living upstairs, and one day he decided to take a bath. But when he started filling his bathtub with water, he felt like taking a nap, and he did just that, while the water kept coming.
:rage:

Update time!

BriU0002_zps4ccf8f35.jpg~original


Hell yes!
BriU0003_zps021853fa.jpg~original

Who are we attacking again?
BriU0004_zps86bde7fe.jpg~original

Ah, little girls. Excellent.
BriU0005_zps210db139.jpg~original

Should be a nice easy fight to get the rust off.
BriU0006_zpsf7b04497.jpg~original

Commence the one sided massacre!
BriU0007_zps50c9e729.jpg~original

Errr...
BriU0008_zps43db0a5f.jpg~original

Well, he gave as good as he took anyways.
BriU0009_zps04954276.jpg~original

Better actually, but the dragon has more hp to spare.
BriU0010_zps8a0b1419.jpg~original

Fending off a second giant lizard nets spek-kun a level up. Getting close to that class change!
BriU0011_zpsd46a9255.jpg~original

procrastinator deals with less :obviously: foes.
BriU0013_zps8261e291.jpg~original

Still it seems he's quite good at beating off dogs.
BriU0014_zps6d2b6c68.jpg~original

And dinosaurs.
BriU0015_zpsa5657192.jpg~original

Though his preferred target seems to be little girls.
BriU0016_zps3c72c45a.jpg~original

Let the roofies flow!
BriU0019_zps0b18af8d.jpg~original

Lets have Azira try his hand at animal abuse.
BriU0020_zpseb6b8817.jpg~original

Must be afraid of PETA.
BriU0022_zpsce7ac8bf.jpg~original

For shame.
BriU0023_zps316f3b59.jpg~original

lightbane gets in on the girl ravaging action.
BriU0024_zpsabf9b2e9.jpg~original

And even Kaiserin.
BriU0025_zps1d0d86ee.jpg~original

Of course, this was all just the setup...
BriU0027_zps9c1c8da7.jpg~original

Clearly only the LORD can abuse children properly.
BriU0028_zpsa36c23b4.jpg~original

Along with everyone else in a fairly wide radius.
BriU0029_zpscb8c7aa8.jpg~original

Not for us it doesn't. :smug:
BriU0030_zpsba6563d3.jpg~original

Damn, I should have cast Halo on him for the bonus xp.
BriU0031_zps4f28cb90.jpg~original

Still got a whole level out of it though.
BriU0032_zpsf91ff871.jpg~original

Was thinking of using this on spekkio for an encore, but we'll use it on Camden instead for a really sick Meteor Doom.
BriU0035_zps0ae898bd.jpg~original

Or that was the plan anyways. I forgot how skittish enemies get when you're this overwhelmingly powerful.
BriU0036_zpscb0028e6.jpg~original

Ah well, free xp is always nice.
BriU0037_zps5a439f6a.jpg~original

That is quite the clash, those are 4 of the strongest melee knights in the game in there going at it.
BriU0038_zps725e0051.jpg~original

Almekia is grabbing up quite the little empire.
BriU0039_zps38bd47ad.jpg~original

They swipe Lidney from us too. Not concerned about that right now though. Actually, I'd rather they have it than Esgares.
BriU0040_zpse8cfec66.jpg~original

Norgard fixing up it's border as well. Hopefully this'll pressure Leonia to get off my ass while I pin Esgares and finish them.
BriU0041_zpse5cbab6d.jpg~original

Starting with getting the fuck out of my terrirtory!
BriU0042_zps8c47fd60.jpg~original

Sir, the enemy appears to consist primarily of dirty brown birds and other animals.
BriU0043_zpsfc158ed6.jpg~original

Then UNLEASH THE RAINBOW ARMY.
BriU0044_zpsba4898f7.jpg~original

Bee's kung-fu is strong.
BriU0045_zpsd767aa97.jpg~original

Though I don't think I'd bet on her to win this fight.
BriU0046_zps655de652.jpg~original

Leonia is opening up with the classic AI gambit of 'rush headlong into the enemy with frail spellcasters like a total retard and hope to live long enough to cast spells'.
BriU0048_zpsb2b3eaae.jpg~original

It's uh...
BriU0049_zps8df9da8a.jpg~original

...probably not going to be terribly effective.
BriU0050_zpsff2824e0.jpg~original

Though it managed to fuck Volly up.
BriU0053_zpsbe5893b9.jpg~original

Andhaira cleverly convinces the enemy that although Djinn exist, Efreeti do not, and therefore it is possible to totally avoid combat.
BriU0054_zps4c607434.jpg~original

RK37 succeeds at diplomacy as well.
BriU0055_zps00303c2b.jpg~original

And promptly betrays his naive enemy.
BriU0056_zps0e31c9a1.jpg~original

Quite effectively too.
BriU0058_zpsecccce5a.jpg~original

Djinni and their high powered laser cannons certainly do exist.
BriU0059_zps9cc5b218.jpg~original

Yet more shitposting.
BriU0060_zpsbd1a262c.jpg~original

Asmit seems to be in a bit of trouble.
BriU0061_zps7f30b145.jpg~original

Now to reveal the power of our fully operational-
BriU0062_zps7d0fdf0d.jpg~original

GAY BIRD.
BriU0063_zps3f1ac89e.jpg~original

Oh yeah, that's the stuff.
BriU0064_zps280ac9fe.jpg~original

This can actually heal enemies too, but we got the perfect formation going here.
BriU0065_zps76a7b634.jpg~original

Though only Volly really needed the healing.
BriU0066_zps0e2930d5.jpg~original

Commencing raep.
BriU0067_zps2045d6e3.jpg~original

Mmmm.
BriU0068_zps3e5c2dfd.jpg~original

Nice. Though I was hoping for the killshot.
BriU0069_zpsdf192e29.jpg~original

Xi is off tentacling birds.
BriU0071_zps5afc2843.jpg~original

Andhaira flames are the most amusing flames of all.
BriU0072_zpsce3dc1e7.jpg~original

Not everyone can contribute to an Andhaira thread buddy, don't feel too bad. :troll:
BriU0073_zps6fe41675.jpg~original

Not too shabby.
BriU0074_zpsa5ad175d.jpg~original

Double level up. Niiice.
BriU0075_zps71de5073.jpg~original

Baggy fucks up a golem bro for us.
BriU0076_zps95d97872.jpg~original

And yet another dragon bro knocks it down.
BriU0077_zps8f4207a6.jpg~original

Oh shit! It's the only brightly coloured enemy in the entire Leonian force!
BriU0078_zps247e641e.jpg~original

Nah, we got this.
BriU0079_zps96207ea2.jpg~original

:dance:
BriU0080_zps3d8323a9.jpg~original

Oh yeah. We're back on the road to victory for sure.

BriU0081_zps48e97fd0.jpg~original

Speaking of being on the road...
BriU0082_zpse03061c1.jpg~original

Fucking Daffy. This is why you're not part of the real army. That and your stupid name. And shitty stats. Probably the stats thing mostly.
As Daffy was wandering around the mountain, something at the bottom of the cliff started to move. It looks like a Pixie with an injured wing. Daffy started to approach it as rocks started to fall from the mountain.

Daffy.jpg~original
: Oh, no...


Daffy loses consciousness as a rock falls on Daffy's head.
........................
............

Some time had passed. Daffy woke up inside a dark cave.


Dogal_zps0df91815.jpg~original
: You're finally awake, huh?


An old man with a scary looking face is looking at Daffy. The pixie with the injured wing is next to him, with some other tamed monsters. It looks like the old man has the power to control monsters.


Dogal_zps0df91815.jpg~original
: Am I ugly? Don't lie to me by saying no. Everyone makes fun of my face. My name is Dogal. I left civilization and came to live on this mountain for the last 30 years.


Daffy.jpg~original
: 30 years...



Dogal_zps0df91815.jpg~original
: I used to live in a town, but the people in the town called me names. "Ugly", "Dirty", "Monster", you name it. I couldn't take it anymore, so I left. It was more like I was forced to leave... I still get sick to my stomach when I think about it... You're a Knight, aren't you? Most of the Knights I know don't think twice about sacrificing monsters in order to win. However, you jumped in front of the falling rocks to protect the Pixie. Why?


Daffy.jpg~original
: Protect the Pixie..? I don't know... I wasn't thinking...



Dogal_zps0df91815.jpg~original
: You weren't thinking? I guess you're not qualified to be a Knight.


Daffy.jpg~original
: What..?



Dogal_zps0df91815.jpg~original
: But I thank you for saving the Pixie. do you see these monsters? They are my family. They are my children, since I live on this mountain by myself. It's been a while since I spoke to a human. I can't find the words, but I just want you to know that I really appreciate what you did. You're not bad for a human, Thank you. If you don't mind, I have a favor to ask you.


Daffy.jpg~original
: What is it?


Dogal_zps0df91815.jpg~original
: Would it be possible for my children and I to work for your country?


Daffy.jpg~original
: Excuse me?


Dogal_zps0df91815.jpg~original
: As I have said before, I hate humans. To live among the humans again is the last thing I want. However, the war has reached this far and we are running out of food. If I'm alone, I wouldn't mind dying, but I can't stand seeing my children starve. So, what do you say? I won't complain as long as you feed us well. A country with a Knight like you shouldn't be all tat bad. Please let me work as a Knight for your country.


Daffy.jpg~original
: I understand. I'm sure my Lord will be happy to have you with us.

Dogal_zps0df91815.jpg~original
: Really? Did you hear that everyone? I'm going to be able to let you eat as much as you want. Thank you very much.

BriU0084_zpse3da4064.jpg~original

Sweeet. Probably one of the 3 best knights that are free to recruit for any country.

Meanwhile, Teath goes off exploring some shit too:
BriU0085_zps2e5538c8.jpg~original

This always ends well...
BriU0086_zpsfc604177.jpg~original

Well shit, it actually did end well. Not too shabby.
BriU0087_zps3810e653.jpg~original

Profile for our new bro.
BriU0088_zpsb1ee3b5f.jpg~original

As we can see here... he's a level 2 weakling. And his rune area is only 3. Which sucks.
BriU0089_zps472ffc1e.jpg~original

On the other hand, his rune power (capacity to command monsters) shits all over Daffy despite being 10 levels behind him. And trust me, Dogal is a fast learner, both for combat stats AND rune power. He's going to be an absolute monster soon enough.
BriU0090_zpsf5b6463c.jpg~original

Amusingly, unlike (almost) every other knight that joins, Dogal brings his own monsters with him. They're named Tinkle, Pinto, and Fido.
BriU0091_zpse88521b2.jpg~original

Nothing really special about them, they're just level 1 monsters and of weak classes at that. In fact one might be tempted to just delete the lot of them and replace them with some dragons or some shit better suited to a guy with nearly 270 runepower at level 2 who lacks the rune area to put such mobile critters to good use. But I'm a nice guy, so we'll leave them in the army to die I mean grow powerful and live happily ever after.
BriU0093_zpsc098b930.jpg~original

Will certainly be nice to have another decent knight kicking around to replace losers like these when I need to make another squad.
BriU0094_zps63e08353.jpg~original

Time to check in on our enemies.
BriU0095_zps8dc6cfca.jpg~original

Leonia is pretty thrashed. But so is Esgares. Hopefully they both just cower until we blot them out of our territory.
BriU0096_zps1255b4a3.jpg~original

Hula gets a promotion. I don't normally use this promotion actually, but I'm going to here just to show you guys.
BriU0097_zps0702459b.jpg~original

I probably mentioned the class before if an enemy had it, but it's a mix between the cleric and sorceress paths.
BriU0098_zps0d1f3860.jpg~original

She's got the spell list for mastering both cleric and sorceress, even though she only mastered sorceress. She didn't actually learn a single new spell with this promotion as compared to just being a cleric like she was before. But it'd be nice for idiots that don't realize the potential of the class system.
BriU0099_zps27f887e1.jpg~original

Note that unlike most class promotions for knights, you can't downgrade from Mystic to the class you learned it from. Presumably to avoid being able to learn certain spells only this class has access to later on (there are on or two I think) alongside another path. Or maybe because the programmers suck. I have no idea.
BriU0100_zps65b20da5.jpg~original

Speaking of people who suck, what the fuck was I thinking putting these awesome units under control of such shitty knights? We got guys on quests that would be better than these assholes.
BriU0101_zpsbef0dba4.jpg~original

A couple unit promotions too. Another one of these bastards, and RK37 got his transfer to fancy red horse mode.
BriU0001_zpseebc170b.jpg~original

New domain map. Didn't really gain territory again, but Esgares took a beating, which has been our primary focus right now. Soon we'll end them, recapture our borders, and then swallow leonia.

So is there some program or script or something people use to post batches of images from sites like imgur or whatever that can keep the file addresses in order? Copy pasting the link for every single image took about 25 times longer than the way I used to do it, I'd rather not have to do it again.

I don't. I click the bbcode link thingie, have imgur generate the link, then copy it to my notepad. But I have to look at each picture for every comment, to make sure it's the right one. Tedious? Possibly so. Then again, I haven't updated my LPs for a couple of months now, so there might be a more clever way to do it. :M

Little girls are... nice. Niiice.

Well, I've written this ugly script for imgur:
Code:
import sys, json, StringIO

if len(sys.argv) < 4:
    print 'usage: ' + sys.argv[0] + ' <input imgur> <input lp> <output lp>'
    exit()

page = open(sys.argv[1]).read()
page = page[page.find('[{"hash"') :]
page = page[: page.find('}]') + 2]

images = json.load(StringIO.StringIO(page))
text = open(sys.argv[2]).read();

for img in images:
    old = '[[' + img['name'] + img['ext'] + ']]'
    new = '[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/' + img['hash'] + img['ext'] + '[/IMG]'
    text = text.replace(old, new)

open(sys.argv[3], 'w').write(text)

You'll need to install Python 2.7 for it to work. Then you use it like this:
  1. mark images with double square brackets like [[screenshot_123.jpg]] (this can be changed)
  2. batch upload images to imgur
  3. save the the page that opens after images are uploaded as .html
  4. run the script like
    Code:
    imgur.py saved_page.html lp_text.txt output.txt
  5. ???????
  6. PROFIT!
I know it's ugly, but it works :rpgcodex:

The way I've been doing it up until now is I have a text file with a list of links like
Code:
[IMG]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll32/DamnedReg/Brig2/BriU0001.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll32/DamnedReg/Brig2/BriU0002.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll32/DamnedReg/Brig2/BriU0017.jpg[/IMG]
And then when I batch convert a new set of screenies and upload them I just find/replace all instances of 'BriU' with 'BriV' (or whatever the next letter/iteration is for the new batch). That way I can put together the update by pasting in all the images at once and writing in between each link (or deleting crap if it's a double or just a bad screenshot) without having to tab back and forth constantly.

Maybe I'm just really lazy though.
