Akiba’s attempt at psychological warfare is flawed once again. Losing here is only a setback so long as you had spare lives, not true death. Even then, since it’s a team game atm it means that if a team wins, the dead players still get counted as victorious from what the example of the first raid tells me.
Kudos to Akiba for distracting everyone from the fact that Akiba is obviously going to hoard all of the treasures for himself in order to get a greater reward at the end.

I think what this is aiming for is a 1 v 1 fight to determine the winner with the rewards/quests to get there tailor made to encourage his sociopathy and narcissism. Basically keeping your Pokémon at an even level at all times in a play through vs letting one get massively over leveled because of how good it is since it won’t be replaced.

Shibuya is playing the long game on something. Hope it doesn't turn into something that I'm fearing though.

ramen basically said everything needed to say. but once again, akiba can't blow up all of his allies, and surely there's a defense up dress or something that can block akiba's bombs. not to mention, he only put one per person, and bombs don't one-shot. if they do, that would be a pretty busted subweapon in a game that's designed to at least have some balancing. If they do then Akiba just has multiple insta-kill projectiles that he can spam to his hearts delight, given how he put down at least 15 of them. they also move pretty fast, faster than a character can fly (see adachi, who actually survived a blast meaning they can too).

also worth noting, now that we're entering a battle all the people have to do is wait for akiba to mess up and let shibuya get hit, which would then leave him open to betrayal via knocking him out. dress users can also interact with players as seen with how akiba pushed a player +dress user into a monster (unnecessarily) so they can just slap him around once he feels the pain from the shared senses.

and they can also try to run outside of akiba's range. a significant rangeboost can't mean the whole map, right? Under the guise of looking for treasure they could try to get out of his range. and amputation+healing is an option when he's not looking. the areas the bombs are in are visible and there are definitely sharp object users +healers in the group. so once they inevitably split off to look for them they can carve akiba's bombs out of the people if they truly have to.

I thirst for retribution.

 

[onipuck]

Kinda feel like Akiba should have been bubbled too, but the fact of this continuing to be a kusogame continues to save his ass

 

[Firebrand64]

I’m wondering why people want Akiba taken out early when it seems like he’s on a roll with being one step ahead (in the context of the story).

Wouldn’t it be better to try and betray/delete him after he’s secured most of the treasure? That way, more people survive?

This is some Willy Wonka shit from Hell

It's not that I want him to be taken out early, it's that he keeps on giving reasons why everyone should be trying to take him out early. Even without the benefit of our POV he keeps on giving reasons to eliminate him before he makes you into a casualty/sacrifice or at least take him down with you out of spite. Akiba has negative teamwork skills.
He's literally bragging about how good it is that so many people died just now as if his bombs and leadership status hasn't secured him enough control over the masses. He is clearly the dude that needs to be shot before they do something stupid that gets everyone killed in a zombie movie.

Waiting is just begging for him to accidentally/purposely cause a TPK or stall you with another bomb threat.

For fucks sake Akiba, can you stop being the most despicable shit for 5 minutes.

One problem with that, if he did, there wouldn't be anything of him there for those five minutes

He's too much of a narcissistic cockwomble for that to happen

So, like you just had to talk to another pair on the team in order to not die? Or what? Akiba implied that they died because they didn't follow his lead specifically, but they didn't show that. It is kinda unclear.

I'm more confused on why it was a blood balloon death

He mentioned that despite him giving instructions they just ignored them (therefore no communication or teamwork)

 

[ultrabread]

things make more sense when you read akiba's lines with a joker voice

 

[ForTheJerusalem]
