XYKON I BELIEVE IN YOUUUU!!!
:smalltongue:
And of course...I just noticed...it doesn't even matter who will be chosen by Xykon now. If one of you dies right now, the game is over anyway, no matter who the carrier is. Beta can take two days off, the rest of you please send me something.
:xykon: Well, in that case I choose pompey as a soul carrier. Just to be unpredictable you know.

In that case had better put it in a safe place.
Here Centipede! Do you like the nice shiny amulet? It tastes good! here you go!

No big surprise here. Pompey equalizes HP with Sabine and will soon have to worry about being categorizes as the bigger one of two threats. Let's see when this happens. In the meantime I need one more action befoe bringing back Xykon for his probably last incarnation.

Round 42 proves to be a carbon copy of a previous round. Or maybe two of them:
Initiative 18/16/13/10/3
Pompey's Centipede Army (TM) runs over Sabine's Damage Reduction once again and squeezes through 3 damage.
Initiative 11
Sabine counterattacks and Drains Pompey's Energy for 2 damage.
Initiative 3
The drained Pompey doesn't have anything to add.
Initiative -99
Xykon resurfaces once again to take part in the final battle.

This is what we have been waiting for. Sabine and Pompey are cut down to a reasonable size which makes Xykon more vulnerable just as well. It is not likely that the Lich can allow himself another defeat. The last few rounds will be the most challenging for the contestants, since they will always have to plan for the 1vs1 while analysing the possible strategies of the other players. As it stands, Pompey and his army would have the best chances in a 1vs1 against either opponent, given their abilities and their Initiative rolls in this round. But unfortunately, this might just turn out to be a disadvantage for them if Sabine and Xykon decide that the wizard adept has become too great of a threat and take him out together. If they still can...

One masterplan and a life/energy drain puts him out of commission.
One masterplan and a life/energy drain puts him out of commission.
Just to bad he doesnt only have FOUR choosable actions, (making a masterplan more difficult to succeed) but he also has the most annoying ability called "Surrender" :smallfurious:

2007-05-26, 04:40 PM
The end is neigh and I have honestly no prediction for the next rounds. A 2 on 1 against Pompey had seemed likely but Surrender is a nice ability against those shenanigans. Let's see what you have got in store for each other.
Take your time until Monday night, I will be travelling until then.
inky13112
2007-05-27, 02:20 PM
Yeah and Sabine doesn't seem terribly fond of an alliance.
Alarra
2007-05-27, 03:07 PM
Sabine is perfectly fine with an alliance, Xykon's just never been willing to be part of one.
Xykon is really curious what gave you that idea. Other than turning down your proposal to ally against pompey back when you still had 30 hp and pompey 17. But hey, you had 30 hp + DR + escape+life drain , pompey had 17 hp.
As for the most previous round, I figured you'd be smart enough to predict pompeys surrender and attack his centipides to save yourself from going down in 2 rounds.
evnafets
2007-05-27, 03:35 PM
Yeah, I guess surrender was the most predictable move :-)
I was seriously considering an all out attack, but I couldn't finish off one person or the other, and attacking both at once seemed like another form of suicide.
Alarra
2007-05-27, 04:04 PM
I originally did attack a centipede....I'm not sure why I changed my action at the last minute...and yeah, surrender was predictable.
Vhaidara
2007-05-27, 06:12 PM
OK, Alarra, Beta, just leave Pompey alone, kill eachother, kill him, then get killed by the centipedes.
The only thing that's certain is that Sabine's going to attack a centipede this turn.
This is going to be the most interesting round in the game.
Vhaidara
2007-05-27, 08:18 PM
Now that I think about it, did Silkenfist actually ever tell us what happens to the centipedes if Pompey dies? Also, I think they have definitely got the award for most kills, having killed Xykon about 4 times.
evnafets
2007-05-27, 09:17 PM
From the first post:
Rule 3c:
If a player character dies, all NPC’s, created by the character, are removed from the game.
So if Pompey dies the centipedes die.
>and yeah, surrender was predictable.
I guess I should have drunk from the cup in front of me
Vhaidara
2007-05-27, 10:05 PM
Yeah, but are the centepides really minor enough to still be called NPC's? I mean, they've made like 1/4th of the kills in the game!
really Bookboy, whats up with this centipide fetish of yours?
:smalltongue:
KazilDarkeye
2007-05-28, 02:46 PM
Sabine is perfectly fine with an alliance, Xykon's just never been willing to be part of one.
What the..., did you not read my post a few pages ago:
I forged an alliance with the Black Dragon, the Bandit King, Xykon, the Oracle and Redcloak/Yikyik.
So what's that jargle I'm quoting?

2007-05-28, 05:19 PM
I'm back home and the carnage can continue. Round 44
Initiative 21
Sabine takes out one of the Centipedes acting after her with Life Drain.
Initiative 18/18/14
Three Centipedes swarm attack Xykon and bring him down to 1.
Initiative 7
Xykon retaliates and shifts the Symbol of Pain to kill another one of the Centipedes.

Pompey's plan to have his two rivals beat each other up after his Surrender has not worked at all. His Centipede army is decimated to a point where it won't be able to hold its ground against Sabine. But at least Sabine won't be able to win outright by killing Xykon this round...I think. Might have miscalculated somewhere. Go check yourselves and send me the results.
Looks like Xykon gets to survive another round as noone is going to try and kill him in this position.
I definitely wouldn't have attacked Xykon. Attacking Sabine would allow Xykon to set up a trap so that he'd win against her. This would create enough friction that they would betray eachother before Pompey dies.

The Centipedes swarm Sabine but they can't get in any damage.

Xykon ignores the combattants for now and sets up a Trap.

Pompey is drained and cannot act.

The tide, she seems to have turned against Pompey as Xykon and Sabine seem to be the winners of this round. Sabine got the jump on him and will do so again next round, while the remaining Centipedes are not sufficient to damage her. Without Xykon interfering, the endgame would be won for her.
But unfortunately...Xykon is still aroud and Set Trap probably was the best option. Neither Sabine nor Pompey can spare the HP (or the 'pede) to kill him right now and he doesn't become too much of a threat, since killing him and being killed by the Trap in return just leads to a shared victory. The Lich's chances are suddenly preferable, even though his last incarnation is clinging to its very unlife.
The bitter end, it's just a matter of time. Send in your actions.

Wow. Such an exciting end game. Wouldn't it be awesome if it ended in a draw? (IE Sabine finishes Pompey with one HP left, then attacks Xykon and they both die or some other variant on that)
Or better yet it comes down to Pompey V Xykon and pompey petty vengeances into the trap, thus killing them both and resulting in a centipede win! :smalltongue:

Xykon's Masterplan fails - which might be not too bad since the resulting endgame would have slightly favored Pompey. Now, it is Sabine's choice whether to kill off Xykon or Pompey. Either way she is not entirely through yet, although I would clearly prefer to play her right now.

Round 48, also the second to last.
Initiative 18
Sabine does the sensible choice and takes out Pompey. No, not for dinner. For good. A Life Drain kills him off and grants Sabine 1 HP.
Initiative 14/1
Pompey is dead and his Centipede is dismissed immediately.
Initiative 9
Xykon unveils a Masterplan against Life Drain and scores. The Fiend takes three damage.

Invisible Castle (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1083286) decides about the Initiative...
1. Sabine (19)
2. Xykon (15)

The game is over. Alarra has already inquired about the possibility of the winning move via PM and it is only reasonable to assume that she is going to execute it. With a Life Drain against Xykon, Sabine will regain 1 HP which will be barely enough to survive Xykon's trap damage.
After a showdown that had - at times - seemed to swing against her favor again, Alarra manages to turn around the game during the last rounds. In the end, the game was decided by the several favorable Initiative rolls in the crucial rounds, the questionable Surrender of evnafets and - not to be deemed least - strong play on Alarra's part. Without the Centipede army, Sabine had become strong enough to take on both opponents simultaneously.
Congratulations Alarra
With this result, OOTS Showdown #2 is finally over. Thanks everone for hanging around this long. During the next ~2 weeks, I will run a few feedback threads and gather ideas from you before presenting my concept for OOTS Showdown #3. You will have opportunity to:
- Send in ideas about how to improve the overall game
- Name existing problems with overpowered/underpowered characters and how to get rid of them
- Send in ideas for new characters and new abilities. Soon and O-Chul for example are certainly going to be choices for the next round.
One last word to Alarra: Of course you will receive your well-deserved sig image. I am going to send a message to lankybugger about the outcome. If you have any special wishes about your prize, send them to him.
(Personally, I would suggest an image of Sabine with a crushed phylactery and a crushed centipede under each of her boots:smallbiggrin:)

For future games, I think there needs to be a limit on how many times Xykon can come back.
And Evie? You're the best player. You really deserved to win in my opinion.

Well I must admit Pompey did a lot better than I initially thought he would. Mainly through finding allies. Buff spells are a good way to make friends :-). Unfortunately I lost it a little at the end there. I'm not sure that an all out attack would have changed things. Instead of surrendering, my other option was to attack both characters for 3 points damage. Maybe it would have turned it, maybe not.
I think the main person to thank is Selrahc (Hilgya), without whom none of the Linear Guild would have lasted long. The only reason we had that huge hitpoint count at the end was because of you :-)
Post game analysis: Yeah Xykon coming back is too strong. Particularly considering the amount of times he died. If it ends up as evil vs evil in the end, Xykon will always be there.
Sabine is also a little strong I think. Damage reduction + a max of three damage per turn + life/energy drain. It needs 2-3 people ganging up to take her out.
That Hinjo/Shojo/Julio/Windstriker alliance was dominating early on. It took the rest of us combined to get rid of them :-) There are dangers to looking like you're winning the game :-)
Anyway thanks Silkenfist for staging a great game, and thanks to the Linear Guild guys (Alarra, Selrahc, DLD) for letting me boss you around a little bit with regards to the actions :-)

Oh right, like Sabine can talk about overpowered abilities
Alarra
2007-06-04, 02:41 AM
Oooookay....Sabine's overpowered too. :smallredface:
Congratulations Alarra. Well played, you really had me there in round 47 with your unpredicted Energy drain. Guess i'll be happy with second place since in the end it was to blame against the initiative rolls. :smallbiggrin: It would have still been a shared first place though. :smalltongue:
Maybe Pompey is the one who really deserves the complimenst though, since hes the only one to survive this long without being overpowered. Unless you consider "surrender" and the centipide army overpowered? Ohwell, we'll hear about it in the discussion thread i suppose.

And now - as promised - my personal list of the ten most disturbing things that happened in this game:
11. Sora kills Kairi!!!ONEONEONE
10. Elan pretends to be a police officer and imprisons his own mentor Julio. (Round 6)

8. Vaarsuvius uses Evan's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion against Sabine. (Round 3)
7. Julia becomes a Damsel in Distress after an assault of Yikyik (Round 16)
6. Shojo is killed by a Centipede. As soon as he enters afterlife, he is attacked and beat up by Eugene in addition. (Round 11)
5. Thor, God of Thunder, is killed by two moron assassins (Round 8)
4. Samantha decides to become the Animal Companion of a three-headed Chimera (Round 5)

2. Gender-bended Roy dies and is hit on by his/her own father (Round 7)
1. Julia flashes her own brother cleavage in order to make him shield her against attacks. Together with Hilgya. And Redcloak. (Round 4)

! don't know which of the last two is creepier... Imagine if Julia and Gender-Bended Roy died in the same round, while Eugene was still alive. Actually, don't.

Actually she did it of her own free will
Dear Redcloak,
I am trying to get my big, strong, dumb brother to stand between you and destruction. Should it succeed, you will have this and next round to act unhindered. Please consider healing him or me in gratitude. Failing that, I wouldn't mind a Raise Dead if I die before you.
Yours,
Julia
come to think of it I was more or less directly or indirectly responsible for causing three of the ten, aside from both of the Julia things I was involved in planing the decide

It may be in a roundabout way, but I get to be number one on the list. Yay, sort of.
Also, double yay for the linear guild. Aside from that pesky skeleton, we did great.

If there was a mangled corpse award, it would go to Hinjo. about 20 extra damage.

MORON? If the assassins were such morons, then how come Thor died?
has the feedbackthread already started or will it start soon?
Or are we just going to have the discussions right here?

Julia and Eugene definitely take the cake. Poor Roy, the straight man in a family of sickos.
9. Windstriker usurps Royal Command and practically takes over the throne of Azure City (Round 5)
Heheh. In the game of Chinese Chess there is a set of squares known as the 'palace' and a chess piece called the 'horse'. There is a saying that goes, 'Never let the horse into the palace' (which is valid; it would be bad strategy and likely open the king to checkmate). Azure City should heed this advice.
