In the seventh round, there has only been one "true" death with the loss of Belkar Bitterleaf. However, there were some other changes. Mr. Jones got rid of his associate for a one time HP boost, Chief deceased and left an untrained rookie in his place and the Demon Roaches died only to return immediately afterwards.

The next round will see what happens next. Once again, two days to make your plans. Send me your actions until Wednesday, 6 PM Eastern.

And once again I can only tell you of the use of templates. Just send me something along the lines of "If I tell you nothing else, I attack the person with the lowest HP" would be completely sufficient to prevent you from Inactivity penalties.

Deckmaster

The Demon Roaches limp on!

Of course, now that everyone can target me...I'm probably only limping along for one more round.

heretic

2007-03-05, 09:00 PM

Funny note: Durkon, a healer, acts last. :smallbiggrin:

It's basically up to him whether the Roaches live or die. If I were him, I would let'em live to keep Dragon and co occupied.

Copacetic

2007-03-05, 09:05 PM

no the roaches are going to be dead next round. For sure. The can't get back from -7 HP

heretic

2007-03-05, 09:35 PM

I thought you couldn't put someone in the negatives. :smallconfused:

EDIT: After reading the rules, I guess you can.

2007-03-06, 07:38 AM

Yes, I have a plan. A very evil plan at that. *slaps self* Pull yourself together, Your turning into Nale! *slaps self repeatedly*

heretic

2007-03-06, 09:13 AM

Yeah, Nale's longterm plans don't work out so well.

For instance, his plan to continue breathing...:smallamused:

:smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

Yeah, Nale's longterm plans don't work out so well.

KazilDarkeye

2007-03-06, 05:57 PM

The ONE TIME I need a better-than-average initiative. Sod's Law in all its glory, that's all I can say.
At least shooting a corpse was good target practice, and the target is now technically alive again...

Copacetic

2007-03-06, 08:42 PM

Heheheheg*slaps self again* So I mean what up people?

@Slikenfist: When the number of people go down, do you start reducing the time to send in actions? SO if their are like 7 people and you have all their actions to you do it early?

Madmal

Reminder yet again. Only a few are lacking, but I would really love another complete round. 6 hours until deadline, folks.

2007-03-07, 12:21 PM

Darn....the person that turned me to stone is dead. That's too bad. Cause how cool would it be to stay stone the whole game? Hahaha! You can't get me! Nyah!

But being able to play is more fun.
I only stoned(Wow that sounded wierd) you because SHOJO! told me if I did, he keep me alive (Which he didn't). The truth comes out!

Copacetic

2007-03-07, 04:04 PM

Yep Shojo is a lying manipulative bastard. What a surprise.

((No offense to whoever plays Shojo))

Edit: I wish Silkenfist would hurry up it's 6:00

David94

2007-03-07, 05:44 PM

I could've SWORN I sent my action last round. Oh well, if I HAD sent my action, someone else would've killed Hinjo. Now I get to do it myself. Hehehe... and the only person who could stop me is Shojo, but I don't think he can.

Copacetic

2007-03-07, 05:46 PM

No I get to kill Hinjo, Fool!!!!

heretic

2007-03-07, 05:58 PM

I only stoned(Wow that sounded wierd) you because SHOJO! told me if I did, he keep me alive (Which he didn't). The truth comes out!

I subsidized that task to another ally and they fell down on the job. :smallannoyed:

*shifty eyes*

Me, manipulative?...no way, man. :smallamused:

*runs*

Silkenfist

2007-03-07, 06:56 PM

*sigh* I will be on time as soon as I receive each action on time. Still lacking some, last 1 hour grace period begins now. Grmbl.

Jazzman

2007-03-07, 07:13 PM

*whimpers in the corner* Why is everyone picking on me?! All I did was attempt to execute a series of cunning Masterplans and kill the Monster in the Darkness!

.....oh right....

SAVE ME DADDY!!!! :smalleek:

Copacetic

2007-03-07, 07:33 PM

Face It Jazzman. Your going to die. And I'm going to kill you. Only one person can save you from my Jaws. That Is haley, And she can only kill you first to make shure I Don't kill you

I am Royal Commandless now, so I'm more on the passive support side.

Yes but which ability are you about to usurp?
An Attack?
Damage reduction?
Roaches scavenging?
Masterplan?
Lawyers Cease & Desist?
Summon Centipede?

There are so many cool possibilities...

Copacetic

2007-03-07, 08:11 PM

*WAH!* Want Silkenfist to Hurry up with posting. It's like 1 hour since he postponed.

The Bandit King Parries
Vaarsuvius is dealt 1 damage by the Symbol of Pain
Lord Shojo usurps the Roaches’ Scavenging ability, then gives a coupon to each Windstriker and Miko

Initiative 24

Initiative 23
The Black Dragon bites a dead guy. Not much happens.

Initiative 20

Samantha uses her Chain Lightning on the Assassins. 2 damage are dealt to each of Disguised Roy, Miko, Swashbuckling Elan, Thor, Windstriker, both Tree Servants, the Assassins aaaand Durkon.

Initiative 18
Hinjo is too dead to do anything.
Trigak sends a Breath Attack to the Assassins. 4 damage are dealt to the Tree Servants and the Assassins. 5 damage are dealt to Disguised Roy, Miko, Swashbuckling Elan, Thor, Windstriker and Durkon. Swashbuckling Elan, Durkon and both of the Trees do not survive this slaughter. Trigak crowns it with an attack on Julio, Hinjo and Shojo, dealing 2 damage to each of them.

Initiative 17
Bandit King seizes the Opportunity to kill off Rookie.
Yikyik tries to attack Hinjo but the body is already too mangled.

Initiative 16
The Hydra attacks Vaarsuvius

Mr Jones opens his spooky suitcase and produces a paper for Celia. It is an apprenticeship protection law, forbidding her from acquiring a new career.

Initiative 5
Disguised Roy starts sneezing.
The Tree Servants are in pieces and not capable of participating.
Miko smites Evil Samantha twice, killing off the evil wizard.
Swashbuckling Elan attempts to Hurt Hinjo but there is only so much hurt able to fit into one corpse.
Windstriker commands Durkon to heal him. Durkon’s remains do not reply.

Initiative 4
The Assassins shoot dead Hinjo with their Pistol. NO, no bounty for that.

Initiative 2
Durkon has passed away this round.

Initiative 1
The Roaches are actually dead as well. Still it doesn’t stop them from burning a hole into Black Dragon. Damage Reduction...does.

Initiative -99

Ah well, I had a good run I think :) Now I can haunt my father! ooooOOOOOooooOOOOOO!!!!

I should be at 15, thanks to Hilgya's action.

2007-03-07, 08:58 PM

I took 2 damage from Trigak and then healed one from Haley and Hilgya respectively.

Unless I'm counting wrong...

Silkenfist

2007-03-07, 09:15 PM

Ah, correct. How did I mistake you for the Oracle again?

Anyhow...round 8 has ended with an enormous slaughterfest at the hands of Trigak and his supporters. 7 player characters where vanquished in a single round and more will follow shortly. Also the apparent constellatios of power have shifted since good lost 4 fighters in a single strike. Who will come out on top this time?

It is up to you to decide. Send me your actions until Saturday, 6 PM Eastern. Three day round to adjust to my schedules.

Alarra

2007-03-07, 09:17 PM

Okay....seriously...that's insane? Have I honestly yet to roll higher than a 2?

Okay...seriously...that's insane. Do I honestly have to roll for initiative this round? :smalltongue:

Frigs and heretic, can you *please* put your sig in a spoiler? I came back after a fortnight's holiday and went to catch up with this entertaining thread, only to immediately see before I had even read round 2 who had died to date. This was not a good thing.

Asarth

2007-03-08, 04:23 PM

The Lawyers are displayed as Lawful Neutral,but even I know they are secretly evil.

Do I get a prize?

Well,then,unless some miracle worker comes in and saves me,I'm pretty much dead to Julia.

But atleast I can go get revenge on Pompey for his centipede attack and his buff spells.

Or,maybe Sabine for damaging me in the first place...

evnafets

2007-03-08, 04:52 PM

Well you have been making a right royal pain of yourself, Cease and Desisting left-right and center. And now you're complaining you have enemies?

Actually I'm picking Haley to pick you off for her juicy 3HP bonus.
Or maybe the Bandit-king will seize the opportunity?

I wouldn't bother with me, Miko is probably going to double smite me in the first turn. I won't be around for you to present your papers to.
Edit: Actually, forget that. DO target me. I'd prefer you waste your action on a dead body, than on an innocent victim.

Enlong

2007-03-08, 05:41 PM

Man, I give a malevolant prophecy to the dead wizard? I really need to start checking health totals.

And, woah, bloodbath.

Deckmaster

2007-03-08, 06:56 PM

Damn you, Shojo, for taking my scavenging ability!

The irony is that if I had survived, I could have taken someone else's ability. But Usurpation dies with me.

heretic

2007-03-08, 06:59 PM

I regret that now.

I was counting on Durkon being a bit more suvivable, so that I could just piggy back.

With him and Hinjo dead, the ranks of the healers are dwindling...:smallfrown:

Copacetic

2007-03-08, 09:39 PM

Hehehe Which means That my high starting health and damage reduction are starting to come into play........

heretic

2007-03-08, 09:42 PM

Yes, the big scary dragon.

I would be wary though, because people tend to team up against the guy with the most HP. I've played enough Magic: The Gathering (back in the day) to figure that out fairly quickly. :smallbiggrin:

Alarra

2007-03-08, 09:51 PM

Except the people I play with never do! It's hilarious. I sit there, gaining 6 life a turn or some damn thing, and they take out each other! It's fantastic. It gets down to two of us and they're like....you have how much life? Um.....43?

evnafets

2007-03-08, 10:02 PM

Oh crap! 20 Hitpoints? 2 Damage reduction? :smalleek:
Everybody KILL THE DRAGON NOW!!! :smallbiggrin:

Don't you just love tall poppy syndrome?

heretic

2007-03-08, 10:14 PM

I earned quite a reputation for being a massive manipulator at Magic. I actually got discouraged because they would come after me whenever I offered advice. :smallmad: ...I still won a lot though...:smalltongue:

Copacetic

2007-03-08, 10:15 PM

Yeh me too.

Woolysock

2007-03-08, 10:17 PM

Nah, there are too many bounty hunters (Haley and the Assassins) around for me to bother finishing off the Lawyers. Anyone who gets down to 3 or less at this point is hp-bait for them. I'm not into mangling corpses.

The Lawyers are displayed as Lawful Neutral,but even I know they are secretly evil.

Do I get a prize?

Well,then,unless some miracle worker comes in and saves me,I'm pretty much dead to Julia.

But atleast I can go get revenge on Pompey for his centipede attack and his buff spells.

Or,maybe Sabine for damaging me in the first place...

Asarth

2007-03-08, 11:22 PM

Great idea.

I'll Cease and Desist Mine,Mine,Mine and Assassination.

KazilDarkeye

2007-03-09, 02:15 AM

IC "Do that and I'll shuriken you in the place where the sun don't shine. Then I'll shoot your corpse. Repeatedly."

OC "Not if I kill your guy first!"

Plus, I'm not even sure that's possible, because they aren't lasting abilities, they're passive abilities.

Woolysock

2007-03-09, 06:17 AM

Asarth

2007-03-09, 07:25 AM

Passive abilities can be perfectly taken away just fine,like Yikyik's Vengeful Son or so.

And I'm targeting Haley first.

Copacetic

2007-03-09, 07:32 AM

Okay since I don't hace a lethal damage ability I don't care that much

David94

2007-03-09, 08:07 PM

Whoa. Major bloodshed.

Anyway, I just wanted HP so I don't DIE! I only bounty-hunt because no one heals me!

BTW, my offer still stands to trade something for an HP boost or anything else positive.

David94

2007-03-09, 09:39 PM

Great idea.

I'll Cease and Desist Mine,Mine,Mine and Assassination.

And, by the way, that's not a very good thing to say when you are at 3 HP and with a lower initiative than mine... :smallamused:

Ink

2007-03-09, 09:59 PM

By the way Silken, Thor's initiative modifier should have been -1 not -2.

2007-03-10, 12:18 AM

I feel myself falling into the boundaries of the nitpickers. Their shadowy figures reach out for me, begging me to join them. A thin and vaguely holographic voice behind tells me not to give in. It is too weak, and I begin the downward plunge into the Dark Side of the English Language.

*cough* Um, in the very first post of this thread..... "firstly" is not a word, and is grammatically incorrect. To be correct, it would need to be "first of all", or even simply "first".

Pointless though it is, it's actually been rather bugging me.

Woolysock

2007-03-10, 03:53 AM

From the Concise Oxford Dictionary:

firstly adv. (in enumerating topics, arguments, etc.) in the first place, first

Where did you get the peculiar idea that firstly isn't a word?

Aanyway, Round 9 passed and brought another 3 dead guys. At that rate we might be dones quicker than we were with OOTS Showdown #1. However, there are some big guys that will take a bit more time to be brought down.

Weebl has told me that he wishes to leave the game. Since his character is still alive, it is free to a good new home. If you are currently not having a living character in the game and you want to play Yikyik, please send me a message containing a request and Yikyik's first action. First one to call dibs receives control of the Kobold.

Looks like the game enters a smaller pace now. Thor died and with Julio and Trigak another two characters are on the verge of death. However, there was few damage dealt to others than them. Time will tell where the next casualties will fall.

Round 11 stats now. Once again you have two days to send me your actions. Please have everything sent until Wednesday, 6 PM.

Selrahc

2007-03-12, 06:45 PM

Doesn't not a playa let Trigak attack when he would lose his action?

I'm probably reading it wrong...

evnafets

2007-03-12, 06:50 PM

Well Trigak is dead.
Symbol of Pain + Poison = Dead before anything else can happen next round.

Damn, and there was the possibility for so much carnage with his breath attack.

Edit: I think not a playa allows him to attack people that are protected (eg by Meatshield). Not to attack when he has lost his action. I read it wrong as well to begin with.
The assassins have a similar ability, though they have a caveat attached.
Quoting from the characters thread:

Trigak
Not a playa: (passive) Attacks from Trigak can’t be prevented by effects or abilities.

Assassins
Explosive Determination: (passive) Attacks from Assassins can’t be prevented by effects or abilities. (This doesn’t prevent the Assassins from losing their actions, though)

Edit again: How did I send TWO buff spells at the chimera?

2007-03-12, 07:19 PM

evnafets: Two Buff Spells because it adds +2. Yes, I could have worded it more clearly.

And yes, Trigak can lose his actions. Not a playa just works around protective abilities like Meat Shield, Flesh to Stone, Escape Route, etc.

... I died. What worthless alliances. I was allied with team Shojo, as well as team Linear Guild, who I was talking directly to their leader, and none of that helped me. I even gave away the complete team Shojo roster :smallfrown:. Which by the way team Shojo, I still maintain that you shouldn't have sided with team OOTS or team linear guild, but rather with team yourself. Oh well.

Stupid AOE (area of effect) spells hitting me. And all those granted spells and the only one who actually helped me was windstriker. Also Celia, who I tried to grant spells to, but some how that action didn't go through.

Looking back, divine barrier would have been a much better ability than thor's lightning.

Also I haven't been posting in this thread in the hopes I'd be forgotten and no one would notice when I suddenly won from my agenda. Well that sure didn't work.

Good Game everyone, now I can finally delete those 80 alliance in the OOTS showdown PMs clogging my inbox.

Only this round. Normally it would only prevent you from acting in the very same round.

evnafets

2007-03-13, 04:11 PM

So I suppose it IS two rounds of actions lost.
Last round's action (as normal), and this round's action (because the dragon is susceptible to suggestion).

Provided that the energy drain occurred before you acted (which it did)
Of course the same would apply to spells like "Buff". Hmmm. That might be interesting...

The two deceased of this round came by no means unexpected. Trigak couldn't be saved anyway and it was already evident that the Bandit King would behead Julio. More interesting was to watch the Inactivity Flu spread from Haley to Elan. How exactly is that disease transmitted? And if it is transmitted like I think, it does, where will it pop up next. I am seriously afraid of the answer. Better hope that Haley will return to health soon.

A grim day for the mercenaries out there. Lord "I hand gift coupons to anyone I see fit" Shojo bites the dust and team "Loot the bodies" takes a serious beating. Haley and the Assassins line up for to be the next candidates for execution, while the health totals of Eugene and the Black Dragon are attacked more timidly.

Round 14 is another 2-day-round. Your actions are due Thursday, 5 PM Eastern.

Evasion: (passive) Characters with initiative 10 or more later than Haley can’t attack or target her.

It worked very well for her last round.
I don't think it will for this round...she has initiative 8. Fair game for anyone.

Lots of action in Round 14

Initiative 99
Haley takes one damage from the poisoned Shuriken and is now officially on the verge of Death.

Initiative 24
The Black Dragon has his Retribution against Julia. Damsel in Distress prevents the 5 damage and removes her action for the round instead.

Initiative 20
Pompey sends his Buff Spells to Sabine once again.

Initiative 18
Yikyik’s distraction deals 1 damage to Julia but her action is lost already.

Initiative 16
Haley fails to at least find a dignified end. She is bitten to death by a Centipede.
Sabine, buffed by Pompey, Life Drains the Bandit King for 6 damage. She gains 1 HP and tells her victim to go attack Xykon.

Initiative 12
The Bandit King is compelled to attack Xykon. His sword deals 3 damage to the Lich, but he runs into the evil Death Trap that deals 4 damage to him. This would enable Xykon to dictate his next action, but the Bandit King is dead already.

Initiative 11
The Assassins throw a Shuriken at Pompey
Julia is occupied with the Dragon and Yikyik.

Initiative 8
The second Centipede attacks Xykon, dealing one damage.

Initiative 7
Hilgya cures Yikyik’s Wounds.

Initiative 6
Leeky’s Tree Servants don’t act due to lack of orders. Note that Inactivity Flu does not apply to them.

Initiative 5
Leeky and his other Tree don’t act either. The Druid starts coughing.
The second Centipede launches an attack against Xykon.

Initiative 4
The Hydra swallows the rest of Haley’s corpse.

Initiative 3
The Oracle foresees Benefit for the Bandit King to Parry. Unfortunately, there is no future for the Bandit King.

Initiative 2
Eugene doesn’t use his Magic this round. He is off to have fun with Haley.

It's hardly nice that you killed me when you were so low down on my hitlist. I was just taking advice from Shojo! I couldn't have said no to the alliance or else I'd have Hinjo, Julio, Thor, Shojo, the OotS and my own horse trying to kill me! Besides, I like the Azurites and julio and Thor and the OotS. I mean, Elan lasted about two rounds after he betrayed us! And I never got to use Fallen on Eugene *sniff,* well, I hope he wins now and you will regret not giving me the chance to take the lovely 6hp off him.

Sethis

2007-03-26, 05:07 PM

I'm just pissed because I was going to use Parry the next round.

Sabine is a bit overpowered, but not because of the Energy Drain, its a combination of that and that other traits. Disabling, life draining AND Damage Reduction?! Assuming it was 1v1 with the Bandit King as me, I could not win, as I'd do 1 damage a round, and all she'd have to do is lifedrain for 1 and 2 damage.

In fact, damage reduction as a whole is a bit unbalanced. I feel for all the minor characters who cannot even hurt those people, IF I hadn't taken the ability that killed me (Rule of Leadership) I wouldn't have been able to do any damage at all. DR was balanced on the Monster in the Darkness because of his neccisarily retributive nature and Low HP while taking the trait. However, on creatures like Sabine and the Black Dragon, it effectively gives them 2 more "power*" than everyone else attacking them. Even beyond this, these characters have a base of twice and 3 times the HP of the Monster in the Darkness respectively! This requires at least several people working in tandem to overcome, and after the base alliances at the beginning are formed, those teams without a beater/buffer combo seem to be FUBAR.

*(With power defined as a ratio of damage taken: damage done.)

Yeah, so theres my rant. My picture has already been posted. I'm a little bitter about getting the short end of the stick as far as characters were concerened, but it wasn't the underpoweredness of certain characters that is the problem, it is the overpoweredness of others. The game is still in the balancing phase though, so this is to be expected.

Silkenfist

2007-03-27, 07:42 AM

Sethis: This game will always be in a phase of balancing, since every new round will see new abilities. However, I will definitely change a few things, like giving defensive abilities a higher drawback (Damage Reduction and Leeky/Yikyiks Combat Reflexes).

Sorry, I would be with you, but I got killed by a FRICKIN' CENTIPEDE!

Pompey's Centipede has become a monster. With Xykon, the third character succumbs to its fangs. However, the Lich is not done for, yet. He retreats to his phylactery and has this round to find a suitable carrier to make him survive until his return. Meanwhile, Eugene clings to his life and might wish to have a similar option available.

Shojo should have stolen soul hidey place...

Wait did YikYik just betray his allies? :smallconfused:

Silkenfist

2007-03-28, 06:10 PM

Good question, easy answer: Mistype a name there. Yikyik teamed up with the others on Eugene (unsurprisingly)

evnafets

2007-03-28, 06:23 PM

Yik-yik you backstabbing little pile of kobold dung. You are so dead. As soon as we get out hands on you you'll wish that...

Oh.

You gotta be careful with mistakes like that Silkenfist. Someone might get hurt.

I thought this was the purpose of the game. That people might get hurt.
True, very true. Good answer.

I forecast Hilgya as the winner.

Oh gods that would be such sweet sweet irony.

what was my mistaken action?

Alarra

2007-03-29, 06:38 AM

He had you taking out my action instead of Eugene's.

My 9th choice?
My 9th choice?

Why on earth did I put Pompey as my 9th choice?

Edit: At least I seem to have won the prize for "Lowest priority character picked"
Unless people had 10 choices listed and got none of them ;-)

Sorry to bring this up from WAY back, but evnafets may be onto something - would there be like other (less shiny) awards for other things apart from Winner of the Showdown?
Catagories that might be good if that's the case:

The Gang-Up Award: For the guy whose character got attacked the most times in one round.

The Teamwork Award: For the biggest alliance in game

The Sickness Award: For the character who had the worst Inactivity Flu

The Bizarre Combination Award: For the combination of characters who inflicted the most damage

The "Gotta get my heal on" Award: For the character who was healed the most times

The Lowest Priority Character Award: See above

The "Back from the Brink of Death" Award: The person who had 4 or less HP but managed to hang on the most in this state

<More to come>

Alarra

2007-03-29, 04:46 PM

I think that'd be fun. If he did statistics like he does for ready aim fire, or not even statistics, but something like that. Who had the most rounds without an action or who did the most damage and the most damage in one round and other fun things like that.

evnafets

2007-03-29, 04:50 PM

Very cool idea. I know when playing 'worms armaggedon' that stats at the end were always fun to read.

inky13112

2007-03-29, 05:55 PM

Oh god worms was such an awesome game.:smallcool: (darkside award, inner sanctums rock!!) I agree that awards would be cool, but the inactivity one is bad, as it encourages to be inactive, and were trying to avoid that remember!

evnafets

2007-03-29, 06:25 PM

The "inactivity" award would be the equivalent of the Golden Raspberry - an award you DON'T want to win. But its still fun to award it to the poor unfortunate soul who has lost the most actions (who would probably be Julia at the current moment)

inky13112

2007-03-29, 06:58 PM

Well it depends on whether its based on inactivity or lost actions. Lost actions would be fun, and still be an award you don't want. Inactivity flu award, on the other hand, encourages inactivity regardless, of whether its supposed to stigmatized or not. meh doesn't matter that much either way, no need for myself to overreact. Actually I need to go stab something really bad right now.

@V agreed

Alarra

2007-03-29, 07:04 PM

Lost actions is a better award than inactivity. I mean, it's something you don't have control over, and there's so many characters that take out actions.

Silkenfist

2007-03-30, 04:59 AM

I'll try to think of some cool sideawards. They will probably not get a sig image, though.

12 hours left for this round.

Silkenfist

2007-03-30, 05:12 PM

Round 17 comes along:

Initiative 99
Pompey is dealt 1 damage by the poisoned Shuriken
Hilgya uses the Benevolent Prophecy to Cure the Oracle’s Wounds

Initiative 19
Julia neutralises the Black Dragon’s scales with a Magic Missile.

Initiative 18
The Tree Servant deals 1 damage to the Dragon

Initiative 17
The Black Dragon kills Eugene with one Bite.

Initiative 15

Initiative 14
The Hydra doesn’t need to attack Eugene anymore.

Initiative 11
Leeky throws a Firestorm for 2 damage at the Dragon

Initiative 9
Yikyik starts coughing.

Initiative 5
Sabine drains the Dragon’s Energy. It takes 6 damage and will be unable to act next round.

Initiative 3
Hilgya bashes the Dragon with her Hammer for 1 damage.

Initiative 2
The Oracle grants Hilgya another Benevolent Prophecy for healing purposes
Pompey’s Centipede adds another 1 to the damage count against the Dragon.

Initiative 1
The other tree jumps on the Black Dragon bandwagon as well.

Initiative -2
Eugene is now dead. As in DEAD dead.

Initiative -99
A small golden necklace appears in Sabine's hands. She will carry Xykon's Soul-Hidey-Place until his return.

With Eugenes Death, there are only 9 characters remaining in the game and - disturbingly - there are more Kobolds than Humans left. Something is seriously wrong here. In other news: Xykon relies on Sabine to stay alive until his glorious return and the bandwagon against the Black Dragon has proved very effective.

Send in your actions now. You have time until Monday, 2 PM Eastern

Alarra

2007-03-30, 05:24 PM

But I don't want his soul!

Silkenfist

2007-03-30, 05:29 PM

concerning statistics: I will probably do an inactivity statistic for future character distribution. If you played a previous round without any inactivity damage, you will be more likely to get your top picks in later rounds.

evnafets

2007-03-30, 06:08 PM

So we have one round to kill Sabine and prevent Xykon coming back?
Right. EVERYONE ATTACK SABINE! :smallbiggrin:

But seriously, Xykon made the obvious choice for a soul hidey place.
It might potentially have been the dragon a few rounds ago.
It is impossible to kill Sabine before Xykon returns - her tactical escape ability limits the amount of damage she can take in a round.

Enlong

2007-03-30, 06:22 PM

Bah, and once again my Hydra proves innefectual. I gotta stop targeting the dead men walking. But the choices are dwindling. Who's going down next? I wonder... Ah, yes, I can seeeeee!

evnafets

2007-03-30, 06:27 PM

I was actually picking the Dragon to do a retributive strike on Julia.
THIS round it would have worked.

KazilDarkeye

2007-03-31, 11:31 AM

I think as per my multi-awards suggestion (O.K originally evnafets's but I resurfaced it) that Yikyik should get the Inactivity Award - with weebl OR rumda

Silkenfist

2007-04-02, 05:25 AM

Concerning awards: Feel free to name a few suggestions. However, I won't do things like "biggest alliance" since I can only hand out awards for things measurable.

edit: Oh, and...8 hours left. Maybe even more if I do this after Ready, Aim, Fire!
