The Resources


It all seemed well. I'd planned ahead and paced myself, but it was still all for naught. All I can say is just fuck this event. I need to go apologize to my resource reserves now.



The Maps
Actually not that bad. Thank flaukorv for the three WG42's from god knows how long ago. Of course, I did pussy out and do Easy on most, but they went by really fast. Like, 10 min. fast for some. Except E7. Never forget, never forgive. I never want to see 中姫 again. eugh.

The Waifus
Top waifus and top letdowns, where to begin. All of this is from E7, drenched in salty tears.



MVP:  Kongou-bongo really came through E7 last dance, fucked 中姫's asshole. Gonna have to put a ring on her now.

Letdowns: I really thought that 2 WG42's would drop fools, and it did. Just the wrong fools. Ooyodo'd never fail to sink... any ship but the boss during yasen. eugh RNG wai.

Myself: A lack of planning on E7 was truly my downfall. Last dance was 12 runs of poor decisions and tiny mistakes that would leave  中姫 at a sliver of HP after yasen, but never sunk. Happy I got Iowa, but this event was really a full-course meal of humble pie.

Closing
This event was still overall a whirlwind of fun, and it made me excited and nervous abotu the game's future. The false confidence I got as a high HQ returnee was quickly replaced by despair and regret as I learned to deal with new mechanics and metagame. At least hopefully we don't see the crass that is  中姫 Damaged this summer. Come to think of it, there probably won't be-- it'll be even worse ;_;
