Methinks you're just projecting, comrade.

... seriously though, if chobits translations back in the early 00s was anything approaching accurate it's an onomatopoeia for the sound of something soft pressing against something else.

If that's not enough to tell you why it's a great word, there is nothing I can do for you.

Best scenario: Piping system or mechanical failure with the water container.
Worse scenarios: Something else. D:

It's hard to say whether it's the greatest or worst of things to find a small shark lounging on your desk.

... I did. Your fix shifted the answer up one, heh.

Nnoooo, m'fairly sure it exists to explore the interrelations between a specific set of axioms at this point. That parts of it are used to describe what we perceive is incidental

Yeah, with the animals, even the better of them are mostly just chaff. Lots of chaff, and some of them pretty beefy chaff, HP wise, but... still chaff. I'd usually say about the best thing you can do to them is berserk as many as possible to nix morale issues in the bud and let 'em be the HP sponges they're meant to be.

Iirc, the biggest issues with animals in general are the morale, the attack score, and the general lack of defensive measures (outside HP). If you're going to use them as something besides a damage sponge, you're going to want to use them against low defense enemies (this is the probably the biggest concern, imo), berserk as many as possible (dealing with morale and a bit of the attack issue, iirc), and throw up something that helps with defense -- fog warriors or somethin' like that is probably ideal, since the bulk of 'em are going to actually be fairly flimsy HP wise, so getting hit is... suboptimal.

If you're up against enemies with decent defense, though, I'd probably suggest some other measure. High prot and/or HP is probably fine to send 'em against -- animals tend to hit decently hard, when they hit -- but the critters lean toward the inaccurate, so... yeah.

FWIW, Ghost Ship Armada got buffed in Dom4. It'll still fall to serious resistance, but Torgrin and his officers have better gear and paths, his crew is tougher, and there's more of them. You also get a moderate pile of of gold every month if they succeeded in pillaging their target.

It's not a guaranteed thing, but I've actually seen Torgrin drop a 100 PD province before

The global auto-attack/assassination stuff in general really seems to be pretty ballin' in D4, honestly. Like, D3 I'd only consider casting them on a lark, but D4 they're... well, not something I'd specifically aim for, but definitely cast if I got the access and the gems for it while aiming for something else. They're... really nice these days.
