You can't have them back, they are mine.
I would be so, so lost without them as Beta's you don't even know

Quietly laughing at nothing in particular.
Could we maybe have one of them back at least? Since the current tactical ability of the remaining players myself very much included, seems to mostly amount to blind flailing, and may well see the quest permanently bad ended within 2-4 months game time.
Seriously we have no fucking clue what we're doing combat wise, Crystalwacher's battle system is just too Goddamn complex. (I maaay be projecting a bit here or possibly a lot.)

It is, unless you spend the (probably literally) days of time working with it that the writers/Beta's do.
I would have let Naron help you, but those those were his MG's and he was so very protective of them that I had to leash him up in the Workshop to keep him from helping.

Are you saying he would feed us bullshit in order to help his MG's?

First of all... yes, I might have done so if you had intended to attack those three....

Secondly, what Rukia means is that I probably would have given you way too much help in regards to the entire encounter.

I don't think it at all helped that that encounter was a clusterfuck. We had far too many things to worry about for even a fairly experienced player to keep track of I think and I'll be honest? I'm fairly certain that I forgot the objective we started with entirely because I originally would have thought that escaping from there with the girl coming with us and with the two officials assassinated was a win? Not a failure?
Not that I have much room to talk, I don't really have the time to vote and plan for this quest what with all my other quests... I mostly just offer social occasionally because that's something I don't need weeks of study to learn.

Your 'goal' as it was, was only to survive, I put no more motion to it than that.
The players decided that it would be best to try and turn an ambush back against the ambushers rather than run.

Forgive me for saying so but running didn't actually appear to be an option from my perspective. Every horizontal direction was cut off and making a clean target of ourselves for that mini gun by taking to the air seemed suicidal at best.
It seemed to me like the subtext of that setup was That we were expected to fight our way out of there and that running would be punished harshly.

All you had to do was get out of the 20m-range of blocked teleportation. It was not that difficult to achieve... and if the whole narrative going out of its way to emphasize the guy is not enough of a hint...

I saw the emphasis as a warning of 'this guy is a threat, figure out how to take him out first', not 'just run 20m away from him and bamf'.
Again, it felt like the subtext was saying we had to fight and that running would end painfully.
I realize in hindsight that interpretation is wrong obviously, but at the time, that is how it seemed to me, and given the tendency of the votes (IIRC not a single person even suggested just running away and even those suggesting a tactical retreat believed we would have to kill that guy rather than simply move out of his radius) I think my interpretation may not have been uncommon.

Given that I often go out of my way, this chapter included, to indicate just how many options you have on the battlefield running away would have been incredibly easy. 'Run into building, blast a hole through it and everything in your way, rinse repeat until you escape.'
I had thought that common sense says 'If I am in an Ambush, the enemy is confident that they can kill me', ergo escaping the situation would be the best action to be taken.

Obviously none us knew that he had a range of 20 meters, and I know this isn't something we should know in a fight, but from the whole set up it sounded like "get rid of him so Gaia can teleport us outta here as fast as possible."
The alternative from what I thought was risk the girl's life in a mad dash out of the city with heavy weapons aimed at our back's.

Have you even looked into his sheet?
It says he has a 20m range.
I am sorry if this comes off as harsh, but this particular fact is so elementary that I can not believe anyone would miss it.

You did, in fact, know that he had a range of 20 metres.
It was specifically stated in the ability that was available for you to see.

Rukia sadly to say that you are clearly having a delusion again.
SV is to moral to openly do such a thing, after all we might kill innocent people.
That being said at this point its the voters fault for this.

I'll try to help, but I don't feel comfortable making plans a lot of the time.
I actually thought the worry regarding the buildings was possible traps. That said, I didn't really help at all with the plans, or even look at them.

Well I guess I did and others, or are just bloodthirsty maybe. I went back and saw people only point out how dangerous he could be to Sabrina, the rest of the discussion was about killing him. The only thing that resembled running away was Faraway-R's plan and that put fighting back before running.
