There is an older joke that I've seen a lot on Friends at the Table tumblr about how it's not a real season of F@tT unless someone loses a hand. I've always liked the alternate 'joke', it's not a real season of Friends at the Table unless a PC shoots themself in the foot (sacrificing themself in way that has major consequences for their epilogue... often by dying) at/near the end of the season.

I've seen a lot of people thinking about this lately (particularly in regards to an emerging pattern from Dre's PC's... looking at you Valence and Chine...) and it got me thinking because some players are much more prone to this than others.

So I made a table. Then I realized that you cannot put an excel table in Tumblr so I wrote it all out in a list. Then I just attached a screenshot of the table anyway. Spoilers under the read more for all 7 main seasons. (I didn't include Bluff City, Road to PARTIZAN or other live games, but if you can think of examples that should be included from those or anything I missed from the main seasons please let me know!)

x - Character Dies

o - other sacrifice that fits the loose description of "shooting oneself in the foot".

*I was unsure how to mark these, but decided to include them anyway

By Season:

Autumn in Hieron: 1 major break down by Ali as Hella. Calhoun :(

Counter/Weight: 3 deaths to defeat Rigour by Art, Dre, and Silvia. I really struggled with how to count this one because everyone makes very big sacrifices in the finale, that’s like the whole point… so in the end I decided to just count the deaths. Audi wasn’t a PC at the time, but I’m still counting them as a point for Jack. Then I debated whether and how to count Kobus/Loyalty’s other candidate whom I cannot remember the name of and Jillian Red but decided to just give one death point each to Dre and Silvi.  

Winter in Hieron: Nothing. There were a few things I considered putting here put none of them felt on the same level as other things I am marking.

Twilight Mirage: 2 people leaving, 1 death, and Grand Mag (need I say more?) Once again, I debated for a long time how to mark Fourteen because the dying was just their class from the beginning, but I gave this one to them. Ali as Tender and Janine as [Signet] get points for leaving the Mirage because it makes me sad personally.

Spring in Hieron: 3 members of the Understanding. Unsubtle plug to go read my fic An Understanding if you want to feel sad about this with me.

PARTIZAN: 2 (pointless) deaths. I expect to make several enemies by calling these pointless, but I’m very much on team if Valence were here things would be better, and for that matter the same goes for SI. Powerful, but pointless. I went back and forth on whether to give Jack any points for Clem and eventually decided to leave her off entirely because she didn't actually die and just came back as a powerful NPC.

Sangfielle: 1 death. Chine :(

Player total:

Ali: 3 (no deaths) Art: 3 (2 deaths) Dre: 3 (all 3 deaths*) Jack: 2 (2 deaths*) Janine: 2 (no deaths) Keith: 0 (How???) Silvia: 2 (1 death*)

In summary, as I expected, Art and Dre are leading the pack on character shooting themselves in the foot, with Dre leading on actual deaths.

Surprisingly, Ali also ties both of them overall with a total of three which I was not expecting.

Jack, Janine, and Silvia each have two points, and between 0-2 deaths which was about what I expected, although I was surprised that Jack is technically tied with Art for second place on deaths.

The most surprising thing - and I'm not sure why this surprised me per say but it was an outlier - is that I could come up with no examples of Keith's characters shooting themselves in the foot.

Anywho, that was a lot of charting and thinking just to have evidence that this happens all the time. Once again, if you can think of examples of anything I missed that should be added to these scores please let me know.

Sega has released a new trailer and set of screenshots for Sakura Wars introducing the demonic invaders that the Imperial Combat Revue must fight off to protect their city.

Here is an overview of the conflict, via Sega:

As the Imperial Combat Revue prepares to compete in the Combat Revue World Games, their challenge is far bigger than just themselves. As with every combat revue in the world, their true purpose is to protect their city from demons-hostile, grotesque creatures born from the anger and malice of human beings.

Beyond their revenue-raising theater productions, the team has been training and getting their Type-3 Kobu Spiricle Armor and Mugen-class Spiricle Strikers combat-ready in order to bring the Flower Division back to its rightful role as Tokyo’s venerable defense force.

They will be forced into action as two greater demons have driven the citizens to the brink of despair, opening the dark realm and unleashing calamity upon them:

Oboro, whose warped mind derives great pleasure from traumatizing others.

Yaksha, a mysterious yet powerful masked figure who bears a striking resemblance to a former star…

Are they behind the demonic invasion that is wreaking havoc across the Imperial Capital? It’s up to the Flower Division and the other combat revues to track down these enigmatic figures, clear the demons out, and neutralize the source of the threat before it’s too late. A final showdown is approaching!

Sakura Wars launched for PlayStation 4 in December 2019 in Japan, and is due out on April 28 in the Americas and Europe. A demo is available now in Japan. Read more about the game here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

Watch the trailer below. View the screenshots at the gallery.

Hello Missloko, I was wondering if you could help me with something. Recently a user named chico.0809 on instagram uploaded a post with 9 photos. First photo features Maiko Toshiemi and then two other maiko AND THEN the sakkou kimono recently worn by Maiko Mikako!!! I almost gagged with excitement. It seems to be screenshots from a documentary abt craftsmen. And I must watch this documentary even if without subtitles. Please help me Missloko. Hope you get well soon ^^

First, everyone wondering can check out the screen shots here and here.I believe this aired last week for the first time, but NHK did another mini documentary about maiko that covered the shikomi-minarai-misedashi process with Toshinami and Toshinana of Komaya in Miyagawa Cho, the transition from junior to senior with Toshiemi of Komaya in Miyagawa Cho, and then the preparations for sakkō with the new kuromontsuki that Nishimura in Gion Kobu ordered. It’s quite rare to be able to see the work in progress that goes into kimono, especially ones of such a high calibre, so that honestly made me the most excited for this one! This kimono will be used again in the future by senior maiko from Nishimura, so maybe when Tomoko switches to ofuku in 2018 we’ll see her showing it off (although that may not be until Shigyoshiki of 2019!).The program itself is called プロフェッショナル・仕事の流儀スペシャル・ 舞妓SP (Professional - The Way They Work Special - Maiko SP) so look out for it on video sharing websites in the future. Sometimes NHK does subtitle its own productions like this, so we may get to see it with translated subtitles. If not, then it will likely be uploaded to Youtube, although this will be without subtitles.
