[CLOSED] Are you READY to battle against Walpurgisnacht!? (30 April 2017)

I am now back with a few small tweaks to my battle map, so here's my second attempt in placing down our units. I cannot 100% guarantee it will work out, but this will have to do for now. The gray dot unfortunately has to go, slightly moved the blue dot, and issued a move order for the gray-gold dot to guard the eastern freeway exit.

We're gonna need labels, love. A key or somethin' would be nice too. No rush, though! ^^

Also, suggestion! Seein' as we've got about a dozen different players gearing up for the fight, I'd say it's best if we start the actual RP in another thread, and dedicate this one to OOC stuff. That's usually how things are done on NationStates, and it's super-helpful when you've got forty, fifty; up to a hundred different countries participating in a conflict.

Just somethin' to consider. :3

Thanks for your suggestion; I will do that when I have time. However, I won't post said new RP thread until April 30 at midnight, so be patient. <3

Well, I suppose I'll go ahead and enlist. I've built up a decent stockpile of weapons as part of my, uh, hobby and I know a thing or two about Walpurgisnacht as well. You could say that seeing the witch defeated is of mutual interest to both of us. Just a word to the wise, though: if you want to avoid causing any unnecessary calamities an effort should be made to keep anyone from making a contract while the witch is still around. Doing so seems to have immediate and ugly repercussions, or so I'm told.

Final consensus: 16 voted yea, 6 voted nay
Yea/Nay ratio: 72.73*/27.27

"I, Lucia, hereby say a few kind words to all participants: Walpurgisnacht Event RP thread is approved, it will start at midnight, and the battle starts at 8AM, UTC-4 on April 30th. Thank you all for voting, I'll see you out on the field on that day. This poll is now officially closed." ~ Lucia

Say ah, this is the dedicated OOC thread now right? I was wonderin', did anyone ever figure out what Walpurgisnacht actually looks like?

She's obviously female. Me, I've been envisioning her with an aesthetic similar to the Abyssals from Kancolle: Pallid, glowy-eyed qts with a handful of agreeable deformities here and there. What's everyone else think?

My thoughts on this:
1st pic: I wonder where the heck she got all of her girls, and then transform them into a huge army of her own is beyond me.
2nd pic: Now I can't unsee her final form, she's not just some city-destroying witch just for laughs, she wants the whole universe to herself with her friends.

Thanks for giving me the heads up, @[deleted]. <3

Apparently the giant gears are actually Walpurgisnacht's "body", the doll thing is just fake. And the gears have always made me wonder if the witch is supposed to be related to Homura in some way, like it's her witch coming back in time to make her life hell.

It's highly possible that she's been eating up other witches and puella magi for a very long time every April 30th and that it wasn't until meguka meduka came along that someone was strong enough to kill her.
