Near as I can tell they're trying to blow back up something that's been public knowledge since at least july, if the news is accurate at all. It seeming to be pushed by wikileaks is unfortunately a mark against the credibility, these days. News in general can't seem to figure out if irs are or aren't, at the moment. Some of them seem to be reporting both, somehow.

... siralim? 2 more than 1. Items are more because the forge and enchantment exists, and level ups specifically aren't that impactful (there's other progression metrics that are) but otherwise...

On Benghazi: What the fuck? She was SoS while an attack happened on an embassy, and there was a threat beforehand.

1. She was not in charge of checking every single threat on every single embassy - she trusted her advisorpeople.
2. The advisorpeople are not to blame, either - they made a decent, educated guess as to whether they should increase security, and they guessed wrong.
3. Sometimes terrorism just happens. Are we going to blame 9/11 on Bush?

Don't forget 4. Republican controlled congress throttling the embassy security budget (among lots of other stuff, of course). That's one of the most "fun" bits of things to find out about the whole benghazi shithill. It's kinda' funny how we never seemed to hear much about that.

... mind you, from what we know at this point even if there hadn't been a political party trying to sabotage the government by starvation, the cost of actually defending our embassies to the point of any particular one being able to fight off stuff like what happened there would be ruinous, but still.

Yeah, the standard early/mid game stuff isn't terribly difficult, usually, so long as you're not breeding or farming god favor much (both of which increases the variation in what you can encounter in the field, making nasty combinations more possible), avoiding sigils, and not using that scaling acceleration punishment. Everything's pretty flimsy and it's pretty easy to outpace the enemy on damage et al... for a while. Late mid and into the end/post-end game and gloves start coming off, the nastier traits start showing up, and it starts getting where you have to pay more attention. Does take a while to reach that point, though.

Best bug.

Not a bug

Pretty sure, anyway. That sort of interaction is part and parcel to siralim's design, and screwing with your opponent's setup so that it self-implodes one way or another is just part of the game, ahaha.

I just found someone I really dislike getting utterly killed on NMA.

I'm really enjoying it, and I'm feeling really guilty for enjoying it.

The Schadenfreude is strong.

... what's NMA? Checking, there's like. Several dozen. Different things that use the acronym, and it'd be nice to know how much what you're describe is literal murder and how much isn't.

Wherever could I find this Siralim thing you mention?

It's on steam. Pretty sure you can get it elsewhere, too... steam probably has a link to their website. Actually a cheaper version in the google android store thing, too.
