Oh Boy CRAB extra content thread
>>817720SHOW HER BOOBS
Which of the 3 winning teams should have won?
>>817752Misfits. I hate this bitch of a crab world, the end and reset would have been great.
>>817753Shit wish>>817752Probably Xeno.
Is the ship still salvageable?
>>817756What do you think anon
>>817756nah
>>817756nope
>>817756They should have coffee again
>>817756Ships need to be able to sail to be a ship, anon. You can’t salvage something that never was in the first place.
>>817766What does the new GM have to do with anything in this context?
>>817756Bro this ship was dead in the womb.
>>817756Less chances than Atta x Zehya somehow
Congratulations Xenomania, Nullstars, and Misfits for winning CR4B. Hope your wishes are worth it!Now I think this is a good time to pitch a new tradition, after every CRAB. An Ending Slideshow. How this goes is that everyone will reply to a thread, describing the current state of their CRABs in a manner of Fallout New Vegas's ending slideshow. I'll start things off at the next post with my epic narrator voice. Have fun.
>>817770I wouldn't say that. Both are kind of dead but Bevis has a very small sliver of a chance
*ahem*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkqgupffSsY*Talks in epic narrator voice.*> And so, The CRABs who had thwarted a coup in Eichstätt, Germany thwarted a coup once again, and Comics and Random Art Battles was forever changed.The CRABs, with the aid of DOOMVA, drove C.U.M from The Crabstar, securing victory to the real winners. With DOOMVA out of the picture, its power was diverted to Debbie to keep order. Any chaos within the ship was ended, quickly. Chaos became uncertainty, then acceptance, with minimal loss of life. Debbie assumed her position as The GameMaster of CRAB. (At least until she find a successor.)
>>817770I believe it can work. All they need is to meet at the party and for him to apologize. Both tried to kill everyone (him out of chud rage and her due to CUM antics) so it should be awkward for both. There is no need to hold hate anymore, free now of the pressures of Crab they could know each other.>>817770Zehya has Melody now
>>817774I think there's a fundamental problem in that all of the ship fuel came from Clovis liking Berry but Berry just never liked him in turn through the whole tournament in any reciprocal fashion. Once Clovis realized not only she didn't like him but also was actively trying to stop him from winning the tournament it was beyond over.Not to say the dynamic wasn't compelling though, Clovis very obviously liked her through 90% of the tournament itself between showing concern for her welfare and going out of his way to help her like with the poison plot. Narratively speaking, if Clovis hadn't warned her she would have walked into Round 2 with even less context and awareness of the trickery Atta was up to.Berry meanwhile not liking him because of how casually and callously he could kill people like his own teammate and his justifications for it and his cruelty being that he 'has to' be like that was never going to endear her and it's honestly understandable to want nothing to do with him over it. Going a step further, assuming the worst of him and what his wish could be is a natural response especially when he was crashing out.Now that everything's cleared up, it doesn't really take away that Clovis did still activate the nuke to eke out his win over Berry and he likely won't apologize for going to the lengths he did to get the gold necessary to reach the tie win-state, because if he didn't his team would have lost and with that lost the opportunity for the wish. The nature of the wish he wanted doesn't excuse the lengths by which he went to achieve it, and it can be argued that it all wasn't even necessary. All he had to do, at ANY point, was talk about what his wish was and why it was so important to him to win. But he didn't, not to anybody except maybe Smoke but even there he wasn't very clear about it.

>>817770Bevis is not as bad as Attya in terms of dead ships
