Giant Monster Rumble II - Round 3

[Recaiden]

http://www.cpluv.com/www/medias/VHS/VHS_47afa3d580890.jpg

Not a werewolf game

This is a game about making up giant monsters and their powers, bidding for them and then trying your hardest to kill each other while knocking apart a city.
Rumble (http://kevan.org/rumble.cgi?genre=space&mode=rules)
A link to the rules for Superhero Rumble. The rules for Monster Rumble are essentially the same (see: Genre Variants).

Here (http://kevan.org/rumble.cgi?genre=monster&mode=viewall) are some example Giant Monster abilities

Four extra rules:
1. No unfun abilities(anything gamebreaking or overpowered will be vetoed)
2. Please PM actions to me as "Monster Rumble - Round X actions"
3. Each round lasts 24 hours. The default action if nothing is sent is to spend all energy on defense. You can ask to have a different default in your PMs

Roleplaying encouraged!

Once we have enough people(about 7), everyone PM me 2 abilities.
I'll put them up, and then PM in bids. Also, please add a description of you monster and possibly a picture, such as in the first thread here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103633).

Zar Peter is the defending champion.

[GoC]

Lots of copy-pasta going on, eh?:smallwink:
In.

[Selrahc]

Let's see if I can snatch the crown this time! In.

As the Undead Hippo.

[Dr. Bath]

Woowoo! I'm in.

[Saint Nil]

In please, but I can't guarntee a pic of my monster.

[Murska]

I'm in! :smallbiggrin:

[Shadowcaller]

I'm in I guess.

[Lamech]

Totally in... I'll send my mutations in later...

[Hyozo]

Am I too late to join? If not, count me in.

[Saint Nil]

So, may we send in actions now?

[Fan]

Hmm, giant monster...
I'm in as Jenova life.

((Read as: A huge fleshy beast with tentcles, and spell casting.)

[GoC]

So, may we send in actions now?

No, send in powers now.
Then when Recaiden posts them we send in our bids.
After that he tells us who got what and the game starts (sending in actions ect.).

[Recaiden]

I guess FFFanboy joining would be fine. Recruitment closed. Please send in 2 mutations that will be added to the pool. Selrahc, GoC, I have yours, they're good.

[GoC]

Amazing that you over-filled your quota in less than half an hour!:smalleek:

[Recaiden]

It truly is. I suppose I should give Zar Peter an honorary spot as the champion, huh?

[Saint Nil]

So, how many mutations have been sent in? Plus, make Zar the mayor of the city we attack.:smallbiggrin:

[Recaiden]

Mutations are in to be voted upon: PM me the mutations you want and your bids. You bid using your energy. If you win, the energy is gone. If you lose, the energy stay with you. You can bid on as many as you want.

Undead: Your mouldering form is hard to damage, take only half damage. Unfortunately you are rotting away, take 5 damage at the end of each turn.

Omnivorous: Whenever an opponent is defeated, gain Energy equal to Omnivorous' Mutation Strength or the corpse's Starting Energy, whichever is lower.

Stonebark: At the start of each round Add 5+5*X Defence, where X is the number of rounds you have not been attacked.

Fury of the worm: Burn 5 Energy and spend X, Deal X damage to all other players.

Zzzap-gun: Once every three turns, burn 10 and spend 20 to use an attack for 60.

Rampage: Spend 20, target two enemy monsters. Next turn they'll both have to spend 25 to get up.

Absorbtion - Spend 10 energy, burn 5, any damage you would take this turn is negated, and you have that much extra energy next run. However, next turn you must put as much into defense as into attack.

Parasite - If you make a successful attack against another monster, it is your host. You add your host's defense to your own when calculating damage.

Radioactive spit: Spend 10: Make a separate strength-20 Attack. You may not use this Mutation if you used it in the previous round, and not more than three times per round.

Corruption: Spend 10, choose a player Energy -30 on target during the next round.

Tentacle rake: Attack +20, 1 round cooldown

Fire Breath: Spend 10 and Burn 10: Deal 20 unavoidable damage to an opponent.

Acid Spit - Spend 10 and Burn 10: Deal 20 unavoidable damage to an opponent.

Regeneration - Gain 3 Energy at the beginning of each round.

Extra-dimensional horror: Gain 3 energy at the beginning of each round.

Living scales: Spend 17: Put a living scale side kick monster into play. It has 7 energy. It reduces any attacks made against you or your sidekicks by 3 and may not attack.

Berserk mode: Burn 10, doubles all your attacks this round, two rounds cool down.

Predator: Pick one player in the beginning. If this player dies while you attack you gain energy equal to the total of all attacks against this player in the last round.

Armored Hide: You gain a bonus to Defence equal to half your current Energy.

Hardened Skin: Any Attack with strength less than half Mutation Strength is completely negated.

[GoC]

Not to be impatient or anything but how many have still to send in bids?

[Shadowcaller]

I did send in bids some time ago, so at least I'm in the clear this time:smallcool:.

[Lamech]

I'll add to the impatience... getting my hopes up Shadowcaller...

[Saint Nil]

Agreed, I can't wait ot try this game.

[Recaiden]

Then get Zar Peter to send in his bids. He's the only 1 left.

[GoC]

Is he even aware he's in the game?
He hasn't posted in the thread...

[Lamech]

He sent in mutations... 10 players ten mutations...

[Zar Peter]

Energy: 95
He's big, tough and kinda stupid. He's also a bit on the large side due to a hormonal imbalance but he's sensitive about it so be nice.
His thick skin means that small thorns and paper cuts don't damage him. He also won't have to worry about nicks should he ever decide to shave.:smallbiggrin:

[Saint Nil]

Dracula, son of the dragon. Though he was destroyed long ago, it is said he knew not his own power. Yet a later generation of vampires have....

[Fan]

Grr... Going with Cthulhu now.

http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/art/cthulhu02.jpg

IA! IA! RLYEH! CTHULHU FG'THAN!

[Selrahc]

I... am actually kind of shocked that someone wanted undead. :smalleek:

Man, if I'm not undead, I guess I'm just going to have to be a hungry hungry hippo.


http://www.headinjurytheater.com/hungry%20hungry%20hippo%20jared%20hindman.jpg
You don't want to get in the way of this hippo! Content to peacefully scavenge, this beast could turn nasty if not given an adequate supply of food.

[Zar Peter]

Since I'm not really a monster:

:smallbiggrin:

[Shadowcaller]

Hyga'Loth, Spawn of the Whispering Worm is breaking through the crust of the earth!

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg254/Seweron/hellion.jpg

Too bad its about to get its ass kicked by Chuck Norris. :smallbiggrin:

[GoC]

Hyga'Loth, Spawn of the Whispering Worm is breaking through the crust of the earth!

Too bad its about to get its ass kicked by Chuck Norris. :smallbiggrin:

This is too good to pass up, right Zar Peter? lol

[Shadowcaller]

I sure hope we do Giant Monster Rumble again so I can bid a bit better, Hyga'Loth will return!

[Fan]

Pssh, everyone knows that even Chuck Norris will not survive the awakening of those who dwell in fabled Water deep!
Cthulhu Fgthan!
:This cultist was promptly round housed into oblivion by Chuck Norris:

[Zar Peter]

And then Chuck Norris is walking into Mordor...

iceddragons:

Abilities are here. I'll put the descriptions with each player later. Round 1 begins.

Huh? I didn't bid for absorption. I bidded for a few things, but not absorption. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have won anything there, I certainly didn't bid 21 for anything, my highest bid was 10.

[Murska]

Heh. Shows what sleep deprivation does for your maths skills.

:smallbiggrin:

I have my gun but I can't use it, by the virtue of ONE ENERGY! Can I suicide by using it? :smalltongue:

[Lamech]

Hey can no one kill Shadowcaller or Murska? It would be a nice thing to let them play around for a little...

[Murska]

I'll suicide on Shadowcaller this turn anyway with my Zzzap Gun if I can. Leaves me at -1 but him at -40 so it evens out. :smallbiggrin:

[GoC]

You think that's bad?
Check this (http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=34060&start=0#p1370884) out.
Scroll down until you can see how much energy GoC started with.:smallamused:

[Selrahc]

Heh. Shows what sleep deprivation does for your maths skills.

:smallbiggrin:

I guess you're playing as a heavily wounded Squiggoth? :smallamused:

[Murska]

I guess you're playing as a heavily wounded Squiggoth? :smallamused:

Indeed. :smallbiggrin:

[Shadowcaller]

Then I'm playing as a newly awakened and still very weak Hyga'Loth.:smallwink:

[Dr. Bath]

I always wanted to be...


PAUL BUNYAN

http://www.drmcninja.com/issue1/1p8.gif

Leaping from tree to tree! With the sole power of being really big. And being a lumberjack.

[GoC]

Maybe we could implement this extra houserule?

If a player starts with less than 50 energy he can sell one of his powers to the GM in exchange for Power Strength energy.

[Dr. Bath]

Pff.

It's their own fault for spending too much! Much more fun this way, anyway.

[Hyozo]

I sort of wish I had bid more on regeneration. I did still get the other one I really wanted though, which lets me be:

http://www.giantmonstermovies.com/images/reptilicus-m.jpg
Reptilicus! One of the worst B-movie monsters ever! Fear the horrible effects of his acid spit!

[GoC]

We've still got Dr. Bath's absorbtion and the missing Living Scales to sort out before we start, right?
I remember bidding on Living Scales.

[Murska]

Pff.

It's their own fault for spending too much! Much more fun this way, anyway.

Hey! I only spent a single energy point too much! :smallfrown:

[Lamech]

Dang that suck's Murska...


Can I donate a point to Murska? My math skills suck too...

[Recaiden]

There were slight errors in my ability table: lamech got living scales for 7. Bath did not get absorbtion, Murska probably would have, but he needs his energy. I apologize, and i should really sleep more.

Round 1 ends:

FF fanboy: Using corruption on Saint Nil, Defend 59 69 energy left

Saint Nil: Defense 40, Attack 20-Shadowcaller, Attack 25-Murska 80 energy left, 50 usable in round 2

lamech: Attack Selrahc 89 - Attacked for 1 91 energy left

Selrahc: Defend 80 - Attacked for 196 DIES

Zar Peter: Attack Shadowcaller 30, Defend 70 100 energy left

Shadowcaller: Defend 32, Regen 3 - Attacked for 50. 12 energy left

Murska: Tentacle Rake Attack Selrahc 47, defend 1, Attack Lamech 1. - Attacked 25 4 energy left

Dr. Bath: Attack Selrahc 60, Defend 40 100 energy left

iceddragons: Attack Bath 20, Defend 48 68 energy left

GoC: Defends, is not attacked.

Cthulu places an eldritch curse upon dracula, sapping his energy, while Dracula tears into the squiggoth and worm. The squiggoth, Paul Bunyan, and the horrifying lamech catch the hippo rising out of the bay, and tear it apart. The squiggoth tries to kill itself to activate the zzap gun, but just can't do it.
The worm thing is badly beaten, tossed through downtown and leveling skyscrapers, but it manages to hang on.

Round 2 begins!

[Lamech]

So do I get the living scales? (An the minus seven energy?) And there appears to be a Murska stuck in me. I wonder how he knew to attack me for one? Wierd...

[Shadowcaller]

Wait, my total defence should have been 35 with Stonebark since it adds 5 defence at the start of the round.

[Selrahc]

Yowza. I guess I looked like more of a threat this time. :smalleek:

[Recaiden]

Wait, my total defence should have been 35 with Stonebark since it adds 5 defence at the start of the round.

Right, I forgot it was the start.

[Dr. Bath]

Yowza. I guess I looked like more of a threat this time. :smalleek:

Getting 20 energy back everytime someone dies is a pretty powerful power, y'see.

[GoC]

Getting 20 energy back everytime someone dies is a pretty powerful power, y'see.

That's hardly fair given the icedragon is set to gain at least 68 energy should he attack Murska or Shadowcaller next turn.

[Fan]

The above validates a change of action as I do not want a slaughter of a game.

[Murska]

Depends on if he picked one of us two in the beginning of the game before seeing our stats.

[Dr. Bath]

Yeah, but that's only once, and only against one specific player (who he has already named, and can't change).

[Selrahc]

That's hardly fair given the icedragon is set to gain at least 68 energy should he attack Murska or Shadowcaller next turn.

And would have gained 264 energy if he'd picked me as prey and attacked this turn! That would have made things very interesting.

[Murska]

And would have gained 264 energy if he'd picked me as prey and attacked this turn! That would have made things very interesting.

Hahahaha. That'd have been epic enough that I wouldn't have been annoyed at my lack of energy to do anything, actually. :smallbiggrin:

[Recaiden]

Round 2 ends:

FF fanboy: Corrupt Saint Nil, defend 86, - attacked 1 69 energy left

Saint Nil: Attack Iceddragons 20, defend 30 - Attacked 51 66 energy left, 36 useable

lamech: 2 Living Scales, defend 57, regen 3 - attacked 1 94 energy left

Zar Peter: Attack Nil 50, Defend 50 - attacked 1 100 energy left

Shadowcaller: Defend 17 - Attacked 1 15 energy left

Murska: Defend 4 - attacked 1 4 energy left

Dr. Bath: Attack iceddragons 40, defend 60. - attacked 1, Acid burned, 80 energy left

iceddragons: Defend 48, Acid Spit Bath - Attacked 61 45 energy left

GoC: Defend 85, Attack each player 1 95 energy left

Descriptive narration later

Round 3 begins!

[GoC]

GoC: Defend 85, Attack each player 1 85 energy left
Huh?
Shouldn't that be 95?
Who did I take damage from?

Current power rankings:
lamech
Zar Peter
FF fanboy
GoC
Saint Nil - Assuming 65 energy
Dr. Bath
icedragons
Shadowcaller
Murska

EDIT: And could you update the table in the first post?
EDIT2: Also, Saint Nil takes half damage due to being undead.

[Recaiden]

I knew about the undead thing, I just forgot to put it from the PM to the post, and the 8 was a typo. This round will last until Sunday because I'll be away. Sorry. Rounding differences?

[GoC]

I knew about the undead thing, I just forgot to put it from the PM to the post, and the 8 was a typo. This round will last until Sunday because I'll be away. Sorry.

His energy should still be 65 not 66.

[Murska]

Okay, messengers arrive from the wounded Squiggoth, bearing word.

Since the Squiggoth is so weakened as to not be able to actually fight, he offers to be a relay station for anonymous conversations. The orkz on his back will carry the messages to the intended recipient.

Mostly to have something to do while I have fun defending with my four energy. :smallannoyed:

[Lamech]

You still have a slightly annoying tentical that can hit for about 20... and a decent defensive position. And I'm sure your skilled enough to cause some damage before going down simply with behind the scenes machinations.

[GoC]

Bump.:smallannoyed:

[Recaiden]

Round 3 is over. I'm sorry it took so long, but I had offline things and computer problems.

Murska: Defend 4+60, tentacle rake Shadowcaller 20 - 4 energy left

Shadowcaller: Defend 15, regen 3, Stonebark 5 - attacked 20 18 energy left

FFFanboy: Corrupt GoC, defend 86 - 69 energy left

lamech: 2 living scales, defend 60 + 28, regen 3 - 97 energy left

Dr. Bath: Attack iceddragons 80 - 80 energy left

Saint Nil - Attack Zar Peter 26 - 56 energy left

iceddragons: defend 45 - attacked 8010 energy left

Zar Peter: defend 100 - 100 energy left

GoC: defend 95 - 95 energy left, 65 usable


Round 4 begins

[GoC]

Saint Nil - Attack Zar Peter 26 - 21 energy left

:smallconfused:
How did he lose 45 energy without being attacked? He loses 5 due to undead but where do the rest of these losses coming from?

[Recaiden]

:smallconfused:
How did he lose 45 energy without being attacked? He loses 5 due to undead but where do the rest of these losses coming from?

From Fanboy using corruption and me assuming it was his actual energy. I was so sure I got it right this time.:smallsigh:

[Fan]

Also, your math for corruption is wrong Half of 95 is not 65.. It's 47.5.

[Murska]

The Squiggoth wishes to repeat it's offer for being a mediator in any and all discussions.

Those alliances are good things but without someone neutral in on them, what prevents your enemy from backstabbing you?

[Lamech]

Corruption is just -30 not half... and please make good use of the squiggoth stuck in me everyone!

[Fan]

Crap, consdering this rounds actions that "Complicates" things.

[Dr. Bath]

You know who should really be killed at this point? Lamech. He's nearing 100 energy again, with a regeneration ability and damage reduction and two sidekicks.

Also: Where's the +28 defense energy from?

[Lamech]

You know who should really be killed at this point?
The warmonger who is attacking everyone? Goes by the name of Dr. Bath he should probably be stomped too. He's probably the biggest threat to high energy people though, and everyone he's bigger than too obviously. I know I'll be trying to hurt him this round.:smallamused:

[Murska]

Also what's with my defend 4+30?

As far as I know, my only ability working at the moment is the passive ability to gain the same defense as Lamech uses added to mine, every turn.

[Dr. Bath]

The whole... not having any powers thing? That doesn't put me in the best position. Y'know? I fully don't expect to win this, but! If you kill me you give iceddragons a whole load of health, as I'm fairly sure he predates me. Fairly sure.

[Recaiden]

:smallsigh: The 30 was supposed to be a 60. The 28 is from 4 living scales at 7 each.

[Dr. Bath]

:smallsigh: The 30 was supposed to be a 60. The 28 is from 4 living scales at 7 each.

Don't we get to chose to attack those? If so, then they shouldn't really confer a defence bonus and still survive if someone attacks. I suppose not, since they can't attack, but that was the precedent set last game (with the fighters). And they do confer a damage resistance bonus. I dunno, it's your call.

[Lamech]

My intention was they would take 3 away from each attack directed at me or my sidekicks (the living scales.)... I'm not sure if that helps any.

[Recaiden]

Round Over

lamech: attack Bath 8, defend 88, regen 3 - attacked 80, 100 energy left
Scale 1: Protect lamech 7
Scale 2: Protect lamech 7
Scale 3: Protect lamech 7
Scale 4: Protect lamech 7
They are separate targets.

Shadowcaller: defence 18+5(Stonebark), regen 3 - 21 energy left

FFFanboy: corrupt Zar Peter, defend 86 - attacked 95, 60 energy left

Dr. Bath: Attack lamech 80 - 72 energy left

Murska: Defend 4 - 4 energy left

Saint Nil: Attack FF Fanboy 30, Defend 26 - 51 energy left

GoC: Attack FFFanboy 65 - 95 energy left

iceddragons: defend 10 - 10 energy left

Zar Peter: defend 100 - 100 energy left, 70 useable


Round 5 begins

[Selrahc]

FF Fanboy should have full health due to the armoured hide.
GOC should have 95 not 65, you failed to give him back his energy after corruption.

[Lamech]

FF fanboy should be 69-(95-(59+69*.5) --> 69-(95-(59+34.5) --> 69-(95-93.5) --> 69-1.5 --> 67.5 so 68 or 67 at your discretion.
Although Selphrac is correct about GoC.

[Recaiden]

Armored hide was counted in the 86. You are right about GoC.

[GoC]

So FFFanboy isn't using his full energy?:smallconfused:
Weird.

[GoC]

Recaiden: If you're still waiting for actions then just asign them to defence as it's likely that the remaining players are away (isn't Zar Peter temporarily gone?).

[Fan]

So FFFanboy isn't using his full energy?:smallconfused:
Weird.

I got a little too deep into corruption.

[Recaiden]

Round Over. Sorry that it took so long, but I had gotten very few actions, and then the fora went down.

lamech: defend 45, attack FFFanboy 55, regen 3 - attacked 102. 74 energy left
Scale 1: Defend lamech 7
Scale 2: Defend lamech 7
Scale 3: Defend lamech 7
Scale 4: Defend lamech 7

Murska: tentacle-whip & attack Iceddragons 23, attack Shadowcaller 1 - 4 energy left

Goc: Defend 60, attack FFFanboy 35. - 95 energy left

Shadowcaller: Regeneration 3, defend 21 +10(Stonebark) - 24 energy left

Dr. Bath: Attack lamech 72 - 72 energy left

FFFanboy: defend 60+30(armored hide), attacked 90 - 60 energy left

Zar Peter: Attack lamech 30, Defend 40 - 70 energy left

Saint Nil: defend 51, 46 energy left

iceddragons: defend 10, attacked 23 - DIES

Round 6 begins

[Lamech]

Psst... Zar pete's at 100. And oww...

[Recaiden]

Round Over!

Zar Peter: Attack GOC 60, Defend 40 - 100 energy left

FF Fanboy: Defend 60+30(armored hide) - attacked 46, 60 energy left

Goc: Attack Murska 95 - Attacked 60, 35 energy left

Shadowcaller: Regenerate 3, Defend 24 +15(Stonebark) - 27 energy left

Saint Nil: Attack FF Fanboy 46 - 41 energy left.

lamech: Regenerate 3, Attack Dr. Bath 4, Living Scale, Defend 53 - 77 energy left
Scale 1: Defend lamech 7
Scale 2: Defend lamech 7
Scale 3: Defend lamech 7
Scale 4: Defend lamech 7
Scale 5: Defend lamech 7

Murska: Defend 4+53(parasite) - Attacked 95, DIES

Dr. Bath: Attack lamech 72 - Attacked 4, 68 energy left

GoC turns to crush the squiggoth, but is kicked in the back by Chuck Norris as (s)he? does. Lamech stands safe behinds his scales, which look flimsy against a direct attack, but can cancel almost any attack against their master. The shambling undead attacks Dracula, but cannot pierce his armored hide. Jenova turtles.

Round 7 begins!

[GoC]

Ah well.
Looks like I'm out.:smallsmile:

[Zar Peter]

Sorry... Chuck Norris wanted it that way :smallcool:

[Murska]

Whoa! 95? What did me and my four energy ever do to you? :smalleek:

At least I got a kill. :smallsmile:

[Recaiden]

Round Over

Zar Peter: Attack lamech 20, Defend 80 - 100 energy left

Saint Nil: Attack lamech 41 - 36 energy left

Shadowcaller: Regenerate 3, Defend 27+20(Stonebark) - 30 energy left

Dr. Bath: Defend 68 - 68 energy left

Goc: Defend 35 - 35 energy left

FF Fanboy - Defend 68 - 68 energy left

lamech: Living Scale 17, Regenerate 3, Attack Dr. Bath 15, Defend 42+45(scales) - Attacked 61, 80 energy left.
Scale 1: Defend lamech 7
Scale 2: Defend lamech 7
Scale 3: Defend lamech 7
Scale 4: Defend lamech 7
Scale 5: Defend lamech 7
Scale 6: Defend lamech 7

The scales defend lamech, but defend themselves instead if attacked. It costs 17 to put 1 into play, and 14 to destroy 1. Also, lamech and Shadowcaller get stronger each turn, while Nil gets weaker.

Round 8 begins.

[Dr. Bath]

Seriously guys. Seriously. Time to put the kill on Lamech. If I target the living scales I can take out 4, and be 1 damage off of killing a 5. If we combine our powers we can take out Lamech. If we don't, we'll all lose spectacularly.

[Lamech]

Well, here is what I think is going on: Dr Bath is attempting to manipulate people in to fighting for him. Now I'll bet money that Dr Bath won't attack my scales like he's promising, but turtle away while everyone else fights. So after he doesn't help you please take him down for me.:smallamused:

P.S. FFfanboy, I think you can use corruption multiple times a turn. By hitting someone three or four times with it you can beat anyone. That will come in handy during endgame.:smallsmile:

Hoho! Your underhanded tactics don't scare me, mr. trying to kill me. I don't care if I die, I honestly don't stand a chance, just so long as you die with me.

And I'm pretty sure that unless specified you can only use powers once a turn. Otherwise it would be ridiculous for certain powers.

[GoC]

Unless it's specified it's assumed to be unlimited use.
I never noticed how powerful FFFanboy was...
Amazing. With his current 68 energy he can neutralize 180 points of enemy energy and defend for 42.
If you'd mentioned this a little later you'd have handed him the game.:smallannoyed:

[Selrahc]

The scales defend lamech, but defend themselves instead if attacked.

What, really? I thought the basic mechanic of this game was that you have to make choices about what to do with your energy... I mean, if that is a viable action, then people could start sending in "I attack GoC with all my energy, unless I get attacked in which case I put up as much defence as needed"

I mean, lamech should have to pick between having his scales defending him and defending themselves. Especially since the passive ability of the scales reduces all attacks by 18, leaving someone needing to attack 32 to kill a scale that is defending itself.

[Recaiden]

Not what I meant. I was trying to say what you said. Lamech sends in and says "The scales defend me" or something to that effect, just like how EDK and my fighters worked last round. They do not change actions or anything.
I meant, at most 14 to destroy 1 that's defending itself.
Also, the round is over.

[Selrahc]

They do not change actions or anything.

So if he tells the scales to defend him, then they won't actively defend themselves?



Living scales: Spend 17: Put a living scale side kick monster into play. It has 7 energy. It reduces any attacks made against you or your sidekicks by 3 and may not attack.


I meant, at most 14 to destroy 1 that's defending itself.

All attacks against Lamech or his scales of doom are reduced by 18 assuming it stacks. To even hurt the scale at all you need to attack for 19, assuming it isn't defending itself.

HA!

:smallcool:

*proceeds to die*

[Shadowcaller]

Only Chuck Norris stands...

[Lamech]

Oww... That was unfortunate. Anyway I look forward to the next game.

[Recaiden]

See what you can do when you work together? I'm sorry for any confusion.

[Selrahc]

Attacks Lamech 68

50 after the scales


Zar Peter: attack lamech 100 - 100 energy left

82 after the scales

132 attack after the scales -(7 defence from each scale(42) + 12 normal defence) = 76, subtracted from Lamech's health of 83.

Lamech should have 7 health left. It isn't a lot, but it's better than nothing.

Unless I'm drastically misunderstanding the scales...

[Lamech]

It kind of difficult to win this if someone decides to kill you with out regard for winning. I also see my attempt to draw fire away to fanboy did not work...
Edit: This is unwinable for me now anyway so it doesn't really matter. I may be able to attempt some machinations, but... I really can't win with 7 energy.

[Recaiden]

I got -7 left for lamech. Did I screw up the math? Both times I did it?

Defend 12+42= 54. Attacked (100-18)+(68-18)= 132 Health = 68+3 = 71
71 + 54 - 132 = 125 - 132 = -7 = Dead. Is this wrong

I was counting his health at 68, when that was actually Dr. Bath's health.

Defend 12+42= 54
Attacked (100-18)+(68-18)= 132
Health = 80+3 = 83
83 + 54 = 137 - 132 = 5 = Alive lamech!

I clearly cannot be trusted to do basic arithmetic ever again.:smallsigh: I am really, really sorry.

[Recaiden]

FF fanboy: Corrupt Zar Peter, Defend 58 - 68 energy left

Round Begins.

[Fan]

Bah, I screwed up this round.
At least the playing field has been evened,

[GoC]

FF fanboy: Attack Zar Peter 68 - 48 energy left
He gets +34 to defence from armored hide, negating that attack.


FF fanboy is now really powerful in comparison. His powers give him the equivalent of 122 energy. Thanks to lamech for pointing this out.

[Fan]

I have WHAT now???:smalleek:
If I've acquired some horrible world destroying power... I'd like to know how!:smalleek:

[GoC]

I have WHAT now???:smalleek:
If I've acquired some horrible world destroying power... I'd like to know how!:smalleek:

I was wrong. Your absolute limit is 222 due to corruption being usable multiple times per round. By this I mean that you can stalemate someone with 222 energy and beat anyone with less energy if the first round has past.

You've been using your powers somewhat poorly so far.

[Selrahc]

Wow, yeah. Corruption is pretty rocking.

Uh... lets look at this... Hmmm..

Corrupt Shadowcaller once, Zar Peter twice, GOC once, Sain Nil once. Automatic defence of 34, against a grand total of 26 energy remaining among your opponents. Spend 18 energy ripping your opponents apart for a slow but inevitable victory.

The only hiccup is that you'd have to run on a defence of just 52 while seeding the corruption.

And geeze earlier on he could have been using it to two shot cripple anyone in the game. First drop their energy by ninety, then make whatever attack in the knowledge that they would be without energy.

[Fan]

Well, hopefully I'll be less fail next time.:smalltongue:

[Shadowcaller]

:smalleek:
I'm dead arent I?:smallfrown:

Upon further review, no, you can single-handily control this game.

[Recaiden]

FF fanboy: Corrupt Zar twice, Corrupt everyone else once, Defend 8+34 - Attacked 5+25+34+56 = dies horribly, torn to bits

Shadowcaller: Regenerate 3, Fury of the Worm 34 - 37 energy left 7 useable

Zar Peter: Attack FFFanboy 56 - Attacked 34+21 = 1 energy left 0 useable

GoC: Attack FF fanboy 25, Defend 10 - Attacked 34 = 11 energy left 0 useable

Saint Nil: Attack Zar Peter 21 - Attacked 34/2+5 = Dies!

lamech: Regenerate 3, Attack FFfanboy 5, Defend 6 - Attacked 34-12 = 10 energy left, 0 useable
Scale 3: Defend self 4, Defend lamech 3
Scale 4: Defend self 4, Defend lamech 3
Scale 5: Defend self 4, Defend lamech 3
Scale 6: Defend self 4, Defend lamech 3

In it's death throws, Jenova throws a horrible plague upon the other monsters. Only the worm can still act.
Seeing how it plays out, those both seem slightly overpowered. :smallconfused:
Round begins!

[Lamech]

See why I suggested half defense everyone? I knew some backstabbing was sure to happen. (Although I did forget about the fury of the worm. I would have mentioned and planned for it otherwise.)
La dee do da... Also I really, really wish my scales could attack.

[Fan]

BWHAHAHAHA!
Now you all have to suffer Geo Stigma!
:smallamused:
Also you forgot my attack of 8 on Zar peter.:smallamused:

Aren't your scales dead? Or does fury of the worm not affect sidekicks?

[Lamech]

It only affects other players... so I assume not. Its up to Recaiden...

[Recaiden]

I says players, so the scales unfortunately live. That would be too strong, I think.


BWHAHAHAHA!
Now you all have to suffer Geo Stigma!
:smallamused:
Also you forgot my attack of 8 on Zar peter.:smallamused:

You definitely never said that, or the message never got to me.




I hit Zar peter 2 times with corruption
Hit everyone else once with it.
End turn.
>.>
Also defend 8 making my defence 47.5
Your most recent message. And it isn't 47.5

[Fan]

Half of 68 is 37.5.... and I sent a action change message didnt I?:smallconfused:

[Lamech]

Its 34... Half of 60 it 30. Half of 8 is four. Put the two together and you get... 34

[Recaiden]

Yeah. 17.5 is 1/2 of 75. And I did not recieve a third action change. (if you count the adding defend 8 as a change)

[Shadowcaller]

How about my Stone Bark? Is it not supposed to increase this round? I didn't get attacked did I?

And technically, I didn't backstab you. You said "everyone attack FF" and I did, I just attacked everyone else at the same time. :smallwink:

Edit: GoC then? He only defended for 10 and yet he only took 14 of the 34 damage.

[GoC]

I knew I should have killed Shadowcaller when I had the chance.:smallannoyed:

Shouldn't Lamech have less energy?:smallconfused:
He took 34-16(scales)-6(defence)=12 damage. He had 11 energy so he should now have 2 energy.

Shadowcaller: I had 35hp and took 34-10 damage so I leave with 11 hp.

Note:Saint Nil takes half damage so the damage should read: 34/2+5


So, is everyone agreed that Shadowcaller is the victor?

[Shadowcaller]

Oh right, I missunderstood Recaidens stats there.

[GoC]

Who'll host the next one?

[Recaiden]

Scales have that passive damame soak.

Shadowcaller: Regenerate 3, Attack Zar 1, Attack GoC 6 - 40 energy left

Zar Peter: - Attacked 1 = Dies

GoC:- Attacked 6 = 5 energy left

lamech: Regenerate 3, - 13 energy left
Scale 3: Laugh
Scale 4: Laugh
Scale 5: Laugh
Scale 6: Laugh

While they are still suffering under Geostigma, the worm devours Chuck Norris and moves against GoC.
Round begins! 3 players left.

[Lamech]

Shouldn't Lamech have less energy?
He took 34-16(scales)-6(defence)=12 damage. He had 11 energy so he should now have 2 energy.

I took 34 -12(scales)-12(scales)-6(me) so 4 damage. I started with 11 energy, and regened three. So I have ten. Also yes Shadowcaller is the winner. I do believe I will obtain second place unless he attacks me, as neither GoC or ZP can so much as hurt me due to the four scales...


So, is everyone agreed that Shadowcaller is the victor?
Yes, but to tie up the loose ends...
Edit: Nevermind all that stuff, bye GoC.

I'll can host the next one. I was thinking of Dungeon Rumble: Chaos in NetHack

[Recaiden]

Shadowcaller can win, or he could act silly and lose. I'll go Scales!Scales!Scales! and panic.

[Shadowcaller]

Shadowcaller can win, or he could act silly and lose. I'll go Scales!Scales!Scales! and panic.

I could burn off all my energy on 1 damage fury of the worm. :smalltongue:

[Lamech]

You could also tie it up if you let me live long enough. Eventually I'll be putting out two scales a round and then if you wait, I'll have more than enough damage soak to stop everything. But I still will have less energy then you, so I would not be able to hit you.

[Selrahc]

I'd put up the next thread now Lamech. It might be a few days before it gets approved.

[Lamech]

Does that mean your hosting it?

[Selrahc]

No... I'd rather play. I'm just giving some advice.

[Lamech]

I miss read "I'd" as "I've", and my basic math skills are probably slightly worse, than Recaiden's soo... Yeah this will work out nicely.

Anyway I'll start crafting the thread right after homework... I may do large amounts of stealing from Recaiden's.

[Recaiden]

Shadowcaller: Regenerate 3, Attack Scale#3 17, Attack Scale#4 23 - 43 energy left Stonebark goes from 10 to 15

GoC:- Attacked 10 = dies

lamech: Regenerate 3, Attack GoC ten, Defend 3- 16 energy left
Scale 3: Defend lamech Attacked 17, 2 energy left
Scale 4: Defend lamech Attacked 23, dies
Scale 5: Defend lamech
Scale 6: Defend lamech
lamech and scales' passive damage reduction now at 9.

New round, because GoC literally cannot harm anyone. I have been playing stonebark incorrectly. It now stands at roughly 50.

[Lamech]

Didn't I attack GoC for ten? Yeah I can see it what happened to that damage? Hardened skill only stops attacks with less than half mutation strength: 2 or less?

[Recaiden]

When I said 5 energy left, I meant dead. Darn copy-paste making me forget to update things.

[GoC]

Anyway I'll start crafting the thread right after homework... I may do large amounts of stealing from Recaiden's.

You mean GoC's, right?:smalltongue:

btw: No offence but your actions this round are the stupidest I've seen in this game.:smallbiggrin:

[Recaiden]

You mean GoC's, right?:smalltongue:

btw: No offence but your actions this round are the stupidest I've seen in this game.:smallbiggrin:

I'm not even playing!:smallconfused:

And yeah, most of my post was copied from hirs.

[Lamech]

Okay... I may do a large amount of stealing from Recaiden's which was stolen from GoC.:smalltongue:

My actions? It got me second place the best I could hope for? Or do you mean the current round? Umm... actually yes they are. I'll give Shadowcaller a hint: Attack lamech for 19. (16 might do the trick too.) Damage soak, there's that too. Make it 28.

P.S. Well I've posted the thread. I may have stolen a lot. Crap... I forgot to credit GoC...

[Recaiden]

Shadowcaller: Regenerate 3, Attack lamech 43 - 43 energy left A

lamech: Regenerate 3, inactive - Attacked 43, DIES!
Scale 3: inactive
Scale 5: inactive
Scale 6: inactive

lamech just sits, waiting for the end. He has no chance to break through the worm's impenetrable armor. One strike, and it ends - cracking through scales, tearing lamech apart.

Shadowcaller wins!
