A few soldiers equipped only with a gun aren't going to be able to deal with an alien threat so powerful as the one we are facing. Please get an upgrade.
OOC:
It's actually reasonable, what Zoey did. The "opponent" is supposedly getting buffs (if you can call it that?) to account for players like you, me and Aeris, who can single-handedly take down a lieutenant all on their own. Seeing as how me and Aeris are the most OP at the moment and you're weaker than both of us, it's quite logical that you'd lose to the God King
.
To be honest, I really think the other Forum members (aside from you and Aeris, of course) should just buff themselves. Most of the characters haven't done anything particularly substantial to change the course of the story, and it's mostly because their characters are super weak (FDK, Manijure, Filiputnik if he's not in control of the Yordles, etc). Like say, even if the three I mentioned all teamed up with all of their characters, they still wouldn't actually have a chance at
reaching a lieutenant, much less beating him, much less
fighting surviving against Aligorn and his space armies. I agree that we shouldn't be capable of beating huge threats entirely on our own, like the God King, for example, but most of the players just don't have powerful enough characters. I'd hate it if the thread resorted to plot armor, making it look reasonable that a bunch of Yordles can take on an entire space army and more, but it might be what the story comes to if people don't decide to buff themselves.
Thankfully, BBB is joining the thread soon (atleast according to Discord), so hopefully he'll set an example and be nice and OP to all the evil baddies out there.
Anyways, I'm leaving the slaughter thread 'cause I gotta focus on college now, so yay have fun to y'all!! ^-^

"So let me clarify," Minuet asks. "We have to fight the
Matriarch?""Yup," Repeat confirms.
"As in, evil pink alien overlord matriarch? How are we supposed to do that?"
"Correction,
you have to fight the Matriarch. The six of us Superhumans are leaving the Slaughter Thread."
"What? Since when?"
"What do you mean since when? RJB (the Real Juice Box) specified that she'd make us leave once college started, since we won't be able to keep up with the workload. Just look at that quote I copypasted below."
As you can see, at January 4, 2017, 7:00PM, RJB clearly and specifically wrote:I've only got around two weeks before college starts again, though, which means only two weeks before I stop being bored out of my mind, so I'll have to leave once that shows up and all that.
"Oh, huh."
"Excuse me?" Cyne butts in. "Is that... serious?"
"Umm, yeah? Why wouldn't it be?"
"What? There is an
intergalactic war going on! And you expect to leave because you have to take care of your
studies?""Well, it's not just studies. It's also the parties and the making out."
"Who
cares about your 'making out?' Peoples'
lives are at stake here!"
"What did you just say, demon?" Juice rebuts. "Are you not considering the huge amount of
dick that me and Repeat could be drowning in right now? Who cares about your 'lives' when the very process of making out is at stake?"
"
Excuse me? Do you even realize how crucial the pale blonde is to this war? Her efforts
saved the King! She razed half the entire Enhanced Reaper army effortlessly, and they continue to slaughter each other at this very instant! We
need her to stay with us!"
"But
we need to go to
college!""Nobody cares about your stupid college! If you don't stay, we
die!""But COLLEGE!"
"Are you even listening to me? Minuet, why won't you help me--"
"URRRRRGH--"
"I don't even know if you're seriously considering putting the lives of so many people at stake--"
"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP--"
"Our
people will die without you! The
king will die without--"
"Whoa, hi," DM says as he is forcefully pulled in by Juice. "LOOK AT THIS FACE," the brunette says. "LOOK. AT. IT. Do you realize I could be making out with this face right now? Do you realize I could be making out with his
dick right now? But ohwouldyoulookatthatI'mnot, because I have to fight your
stupid war to save your
stupid king and your
stupid lives! Ugh, you're all so
selfish!""I... I can't believe this. Are you really that shallow?"
"I understand where they're coming from," Minuet says. "It doesn't matter if we get overrun, as long as they hit a home run."
"SEE? HE gets it!"
"Yeah," Repeat agrees. "I really don't see what you're getting all caught up about."
"So you expect us to fight the Matriarch all on our own? A small squadron of heroes who have nothing but silly plot armor to protect them?"
"Yes.""All because you want to spend time with your partner?"
"Precisely."
"And you don't mind at all that we have to fight hundreds upon thousands of technologically advanced soldiers using only our arrows and spears?"
"Yeah, you're pretty fucked, the way you phrase it, but yup haha it's your problem now, scrubs."
"... I see. And when exactly do you plan to leave for this... 'college?'"
A slight beeping sound can be heard in James's pocket, and he reaches out for his phone. "Ooh, right now, actually," he says. "Let's go, guys."
"What? WAIT!" Cyne retorts, but the Superhumans continue to say quick goodbyes as their bodies all dissolve into thick smoke, the remains rising up to the sky. Cyne reaches out for them desperately, yelling into the air as she does so, refusing to give up their biggest chance of survival. But it's no use, and eventually the smoke itself is lost from her sight.
"... They're right, you know," Minuet says. "Gotta live your life in college and all that,"
"Fool," Cyne replies. "We won't
have a life to life without them. We will be doomed."
"I just think you don't see the true value of making out."
"What?"
"I mean, I can
show you if you want, now that Trenton is gone--"
"No! No. Shut up. Be quiet. We're done."
