Ch.238Event After-Party. (2)

And surprisingly, the content was about the 10th battle that my All-Star team had plunged into.

This bullying is too much, seriously too much

Damn it!

Comments:

-[This is straight-up ostracism]

-[LOLOLOLOL]

-[What the heck is thatㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

-[I’m the only ranker on my team, but the enemy team has 9 rankers]

-[Hope you’re happy over there]

—————————————-

‘Haha, what a mess.’

Someone who was on my team at that time must have uploaded the authentication shot.

I guess it’s because the enemy team had all 7 current rankers except for me and two others.

The gallery’s hot topic quickly shifted to what they called the “Ranker All-Star” (not really) team.

I thought the interest in this topic would mostly be about the concentrated ganging-up, but…

The actual discussion flowed in a different direction, not about the ostracized ranker’s situation.

Ridiculously, someone presumed to be on my team uploaded battle footage captured from their scout ship.

Because of this, I was worried that my combat methods and tactics would be exposed, just like that 1:5 battle someone uploaded before.

Fortunately, perhaps because they were in the top 0.1% of users, they didn’t do something as malicious as uploading someone else’s battle scenes with 100% no editing.

Instead, they applied their own edits and the result was…

Title: Rank 3 is committing bizarre acts in a different way than Rank 2

It’s already impressive to drive a paper-thin missile battleship through an asteroid field that deals DOT damage just by entering it

But what’s legendary is trying to make a comeback by self-destructing the whole thing

Comments:

-[Beta male trait: Uses missile battleship for long-range pew pew]

-[Alpha male trait: Sets missile warheads to self-destruct and rams the entire battleship]

-[GOAT]

-[He’s insane]

-[The ship got battered by asteroids until it looked like an ugly potato, and then he just rammed it in—that’s crazy]

—————————————-

They’re treating me like some weirdo who would take down three cruisers with just a patrol ship while wearing only underwear.

Or like Raksha, who slaughters battleships and cruisers with just a single destroyer that came from gacha.

As dozens, hundreds of such posts sprouted up like mushrooms, Jessica, who was looking at the gallery beside me, shook her head and said:

“These are truly unpleasant posts.”

“So you think so too, Jessica.”

“Our Commander is certainly not that kind of underwear pervert.”

“Hmm.”

‘You’re the only one who understands me, Jessica. *sob*’

“Commander just has a bit of madness, that’s all.”

“Jessica…?”

It wasn’t understanding but merely a correction.

Faced with Jessica’s unexpected response, I felt a drop of cold sweat running down my forehead from the sudden embarrassment.

But that feeling didn’t last long.

Soon, I found myself nodding along as I saw some users analyzing my “eccentricities” and evaluating the “validity” of my actions.

Title: But honestly, Rank 3 could have beaten the All-Star team if things went well?

Author: Maximus

Content: [GIF of Kraken charging forward while firing all weapons]

Looking at the overall strategy, it wasn’t bad

1. Forced the All-Star team to concentrate their fleet power at the front, making them engage in a fleet battle

2. Loaded all superhumans into assault pods and teleported them to form a second front in the rear

3. Simultaneously split the Kraken and his fleet (including light carriers + battle cruisers) to attack the flanks

4. If that didn’t work, throw in the Hresvelgr (which has ambiguous firepower without strategic missiles) to deal a devastating blow to the opposing team

The timing of each method was so artistic that the All-Star team (all rankers except one) was constantly thrown off balance

The problem is how Rank 3 got screwed over:

1-1. When he forced them into a fleet battle, there were three giant clan leader users who excel at fleet battles, and his team couldn’t break through

It was mind-blowing how they managed to maintain both rotational defense and mobile defense while somehow squeezing out reinforcements from the rear

2-1. He sent about 100 superhumans, but while Anomalocaris was too big and slow to conquer, the other users (except those in the fleet battle) sent all their SSS-class superhumans, overwhelming with sheer power

It’s not that Icarus (Rank 3) and the other users were weak, but since the rest were all rankers, at least 3-4 SSS-class superhumans appeared, pushing back the other superhumans LOL

3-1. When trying to flank with the detour fleet, one got caught by passing Raksha and was annihilated

This was truly ridiculous, makes me wonder if Rank 2 is using hacks

Anyway, the fleet that was supposed to face the Kraken should have been reduced by 1/4 or 1/3 of its strength

But with all forces mercilessly deployed, even the monstrous Kraken couldn’t break through as its escort fleet was destroyed

4-1. This is the most unfair part:

When all 3 methods above were blocked, he immediately tried to self-destruct with the Hresvelgr

But who would have thought that a newbie user who was getting his ships stripped by superhumans would use his last remaining ship as an interceptor missile and self-destruct against the battleship?

3-line summary:

1. Rank 3 really used every method available

2. With some luck, he could have won or at least forced a draw

3. But he was overwhelmed by unfairness and power difference

-[Explanation deserves upvote]

-[Summary upvote]

-[So you’re saying Rank 3 would have won if just one unfair thing hadn’t happened?]

Title: Posting this event’s best super save while the gallery is burning with hot topics

[White toad-like creatures holding spears shouting “I’ll remember this!”]

Comments:

-[I’ll remember this!!!!]

-[You were terrible, newbie, terrible!]

-[I’ll remember this!]

-[I’ll remember this!]

-[Why are there so many Warhammer fans here?]

—————————————-

There were some minor incidents where fanatics who looked like they worshipped V8 well appeared.

Anyway, the important thing was that as these analysis posts became the main content, no more idiotic or joke posts were uploaded.

I felt very satisfied with this development.

Now I thought I could just leisurely collect resources and enjoy a relaxed countryside life until the event results came out.

The funny thing is, while thinking this, I was naturally waiting for pirates to respawn.

Title: Why can’t I leave the zone even though the event is over?

What the hell is this?

Comments:

-[Just because the event ended doesn’t mean they removed the zone defense]

-[You’re trapped]

-[They’re giving you time to rest since the event is over]

-[LOLOLOLOL]

—————————————-

Whether the administrators did it on purpose or simply forgot to deactivate it,

We found ourselves in a strange situation where we couldn’t go out from inside the zone, and those outside couldn’t come in.

As a result, for the week until the event results came out, we were forced to live an extremely leisurely life, huddled together inside the base and within the zone.
