Any form of exorcism resulting in the death of the possessed is a failure, right? -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 08:14 34
- Need answer fast? -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 08:26 1
  - I may have.... a situation. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 08:37
- I don't know official doctrine on exorcisms, but it could maybe be considered a success if they were free of the demon before dying. -- nm - Ender Aug 17, 08:22 1
  - That being said, the possessed is an innocent, so a real exorcist is going to go out of their way to make sure it wouldn't get to that point. -- nm - Ender Aug 17, 08:31

        Eh, I had to wipe at the beginning of the final round when they both got taken out before we even got to the location. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 08:47 13
        
        why, you could not revive them? -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 08:48 3
        
        Eh, right next to Kaliks. And I was afriad truman would fall asleep if we waited. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 08:50 2
        
        I wasnt sleepy, I was just preoccupied at that moment. -- nm - Truman Aug 17, 09:20 1
        
        I was refering to the yawning! -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:34

        floating is not my problem, it is elevation. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 09:06 3
        
        see, thats what I dont get. you hold the directional stick in the direction you want (meaning none for straight up) then you - Truman Aug 17, 09:19 2
        
        for whatever reason, I don't seem to go high enough most of the time. - groiny Aug 17, 09:21 1

        actually, spawn had a better k/d then i did. he was the guy who stayed with the random and kept an area safe during the dismantle mines part - Truman Aug 17, 08:45 2
        
        I like when the random went with me to dismantle the mine and he did not pop his shield until after it was destroyed. - Spawn Aug 17, 08:56 1
        
        yeah, he isnt used to working with a team. I even said at the start of that level he needs to keep his shield up as often as he can. -- nm - Truman Aug 17, 09:21
      - You can ask for anything... -- nm - jangles Aug 17, 08:26
    - Even satan doesn't want your sorry ass -- nm - jangles Aug 17, 08:21 1
      - Heaven doesn't want me, Hell is afraid of me. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 08:23
