Team Ready, Aim, Fire! XXII - Clontarf [game over]

[Lord Herman]

This is Team RAF, the team-based variant of RAF. You can find RAF Classic, the original, free-for-all version of the game, here.

Hello, and welcome to the twenty-second game of the team-based spin-off of Silkenfist's Ready, Aim, Fire!

The theme of this game will be the battle of Clontarf, the final battle between Brian Boru's army and the vikings fought in the year 1014. The teams are the Irish and the Vikings.

Recruitment is open until Thursday, 18:00 GMT. If you want to join a specific team, please specify which one. If you don't specify a team, I will add you to a random team.

The Rules:
The basics of the game are explained in this comic (http://home.planet.nl/~hdgoede/tdg/StickArt/TeamRAF/Instructions.png).

Other rules:
- If you don't submit an action before the deadline, you time out. A time out is counted as an airshot. If you time out twice in a row, you die.
- You can send multiple actions in advance, but only do this when it's really necessary.
- The sign-up period is four days, and each round generally takes three days. When there are only a few players left, rounds take only two days, and I start writing as soon as I have all the actions.

[Lord Herman]

Four Irish kings are sitting around a table in a pub, drinking whiskey and telling tall tales. "And then I claimed kingship over all Ireland!" says Catseye Boru. The other Irishmen around the table stare at him. "Uhm... king? Of all Ireland?" asks King Kantur of Connacht. "Yes," says King Shadow of Munster, "if you're going to lord it over all of us, you could at least call yourself Emperor or something." "Hold on," says Indurain, "I'm already Emperor of Ulster!" "No, you're not," says Kantur, "you're a king." "Oh." "Well," says Catseye Boru, "what about... uh... Czar of the Irish Empire?" "No." "Imperator Scottorum, then?" "No." "Grand Poobah of Ireland?" "God, no." "Well, if I'm going to have some kind of higher title than king, then... wait, what about High King?" "Sounds a bit contrived to me," says Shadow. "I liked 'Grand Poobah'," says Indurain. "Shut up," says Kantur. "Anyway, I think High King is fine. Clear, to-the-point, and not too pompous." "Does anyone mind if I change my title to 'Grand Poobah of Ulster'?" asks Indurain. "As long as you answer to me," says Catseye Boru, High King of Ireland.

"He calls himself WHAT?" shouts Mordokai mac Murchada, King of Leinster. "High King," says Dirk Kris Olaffson, the Viking prince. "Right, that does it! First he unites all the other kings behind him, then he tells all those vicious lies about me working with the Vikings..." "Which are, of course, ridiculous," says the viking. "Exactly. And now he calls himself High King? This means war!" "Uhm... we're already at war with Boru. We have been for the past two years." "Well... then it means even more war!" "You might be right," says Dirk Kris. "My scouts tell me Boru is marching on Dublin." "When will he be here?" asks Mordokai. "Just about now, I think," says the viking, pointing at the massive army on the fields north of the town.

@v I see no-tink. No-tink!!!

[Lord Herman]

You saw nothing.

[Mordokai]

I failed my spot check. Against DC 5.

Yet again.

[Thanatos 51-50]

I failed my spot check. Against DC 5.

Yet again.

You'd think a Paladin'd have a Wisdom BONUS, too.

[Mordokai]

You'd think, but some members know better. Now shush, or I write another embarrassing death scene for you, like the one I did back in Spytrap :smalltongue:

[Zar Peter]

I failed my spot check as I searched for Mordys Wisdom bonus... but it was against DC 45... :smallbiggrin:

[Thanatos 51-50]

Hey, that was a nigh-Impossible Diplomacy check, and you know it! Just because you made me fail my best skill means nothing.
NOTHING.
Blind Paladin.

[Mordokai]

I failed my spot check as I searched for Mordys Wisdom bonus... but it was against DC 45... :smallbiggrin:

You can't find something that's not there, dummy :smalltongue:

Eeeeem... was that directed at me? Because I kinda don't get what you mean by it.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

Rar! I'm gonna eat Mordokai!!

[Reinholdt]

Rar! I'm gonna eat Mordokai!!

The indigestion from that though...

[UncleWolf]

Well, I may as well ready my axe.
*starts to sharpen*

[Lord Herman]

I'm extending the deadline to 18:00 GMT, because I seem to have forgotten to send someone a reminder PM.

[Lord Herman]

Alright, time's up. Writing now.

[UncleWolf]

Cool, can't wait. I hope I live

[Reinholdt]

You have no choice in the matter! :smalltongue:

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

I shot at Reinholdt. It will be funny. He'll never see it coming.

[Flame of Anor]

My shot was for one of the less-well-known Irish players. I figured people like Uncle Festy and Lord Fullbladder etc. would be popular targets, would know that, and would shoot themselves. Ha ha, aren't I smart...I hope.

[Reinholdt]

I shot at Reinholdt. It will be funny. He'll never see it coming.

Ahhh!!! A velociraptor can't shoot at a tankard of mead! It... it... it's inconceviable! I just can't visualize it. Impossible. Impossible I say!

*refuses to see it coming*

[Thanatos 51-50]

Since when was it the trend to tell who we were shooting at after time expired?

[Vampiric]

After I shot you this round.I didn't really.

[androgial]

trend did someone say trend?



*insert obligatory castaras stab here upon lord herman*

<.<

llama made me do it

[UncleWolf]

Bump! and you thought that there'd be something important here didn't you?

[Thanatos 51-50]

After I shot you this round.I didn't really.
I see what you did there.
My comeback was alot funnier before I decided to highlight your post.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

My shot was for one of the less-well-known Irish players. I figured people like Uncle Festy and Lord Fullbladder etc. would be popular targets, would know that, and would shoot themselves. Ha ha, aren't I smart...I hope.

Well, that's not very good. I timed out.

[Vampiric]

I see what you did there.
My comeback was alot funnier before I decided to highlight your post.

Hehe...

Hooray for white-text denial!

Not really. No, I mean it. Stuff like this sucks... >_>

[UncleWolf]

bump. To the face!

[Flame of Anor]

[Thanatos 51-50]

And SPIKE!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[Lord Herman]

As the armies of Brian Boru and Mordokai mac Murchada are assembled on the fields of Clontarf, soldiers start shouting insults and challenges across the field. Zar Petersson shouts, "Hey, you Irish sons of small furry animals! Your mothers are really fat!" Two Irishmen, one holding a large tankard of mead, step forward. "Come and say that to my face, Viking!" shouts radikalskippy. Raiser Blade takes another swig of ale, and shouts, "And to mine!" Zar Petersson, radialskippy, and Raiser B1ade walk out onto the field. "Alright," says radikalskippy, "what is it you wanted to say about our mothers?" "Well," says Zar Petersson, but suddenly he sees the Irishmen have their hands on their swords, ready to draw them. "Um... nothing," he says, and runs away. "Come back here!" shouts Raiser B1ade, and the Irishmen go after the Viking. They follow him right into the Viking army, which turns out not to be a very good idea. When they finally get to Zar Petersson, the Viking seriously outnumbers them in terms of limbs, thanks to the efforts of iceddragons and one of Odin's ravens. Meanwhile, Hagar the Horrible drinks Raiser B1ade's ale. He then decides to go for something stronger, and finds a shot of Irish whiskey on one of the dead Irishmen. Unfortunately, he's drank quite a lot already, and dies of alcohol poisoning. Bayar, however, can hold his liquor, and drinks the whiskey in one go.

As the Irish see two of their men being turned into mincemeat, they charge. Finn MacCumhail fights his way to the Viking commanders, where he strikes down a hooded mercenary protecting Dirk Kris Olafsson, making him fall face-forward into a bear trap. The Viking commander is about to kill MacCumhail as Dr. McNinja appears behind him, riding a suspiciously furry velociraptor. The velociraptor bleats, and eats Dirk Kris. Suddenly, however, Dr. McNinja falls off his mount as it is cloven in twain by hap hazard, an angry Viking warrior. The Viking raisers his axe to kill the good doctor, but he drops his weapon as he notices the point of a dagger protruding from his chest. Moon Called pulls out the dagger, but is stabbed herself by jurgenVW and a four-leaf clover. JurgenVW raises his sword in victory, but is then skewered on the swords of Mustiado, St.Sinner, and King Shadow of Munster. Meanwhile, a powerful druid wielding mighty weather magicks doesn't look where he's going and steps on the four-leaf clover.

Mordokai mac Murchada finds himself in the thick of the fighting. He's lopping off heads left and right, when suddenly his bodyguard, Fredricus, turns on him. The traitor swings his axe at Mordokai, but the Irish king parries. The Viking of Stamford Bridge chops off Fredricus' legs, while Arne the Inexplicably-Has-A-Gun riddles him with bullets. Suddenly, Arne hears a moan behind him. "Braaaaaa... *hic* ...aaaaains..." moans the drunken Irish zombie, and clubs Arne over the head with an empty whiskey bottle.

A leprechaun walks around the battlefield, carrying a large banner that says 'Equality for Leprechauns!'. He spots something taller than him; a Lewis Chessman is standing there, motionless. "Take that, big'un!" The leprechaun kicks over the chessman, which hits the ground with a loud thump, and breaks in two. "Ha! Another victory for leprechaun rights!" Destro Yersulsson and Inigo Montoya see the leprechaun vandalise their mascot, the lucky chessman. "Hey, shorty!" shouts Destro Yersulsson. "Keep your hands of our chessman!" shouts Inigo Montoyen. "Shorty?" shouts the leprechaun, fuming. He heaves his tiny shillelagh, and starts clubbing away at Destro Yersulsson's knees. "Ow, that hurts! Stop it, you stupid midget!" says the viking, punting the leprechaun away. "I'm not a midget! I'm a leprechaun!" screams the leprechaun, charging at Inigo Montoyen. "Right, I've had enough of this," says the viking. He draws his sword, and runs the leprechaun through. "Hands off our midget!" shouts King Kantur, riding his horse past the vikings and beheading Destro Yersulsson with his sword.

A pair of leprechaun traitors is attacking the Irish ranks. One of them is riding a flying drakkar, and wielding Mjollnir and Caladbolg. The other leprechaun, PirateMonk, charges right into the Irish ranks, but runs into a swarm of flying lucky charms. Distracted by the charms, he doesn't notice Cú Chulainn, who picks up the leprechaun and crushes his head between his manly Irish hands. While Cú Chulainn goes off to do other heroic and ridiculous things, the leprechaun in the drakkar is being chased by a lemming. The leprechaun, however, steers the drakkar over a cliff, sending the lemming falling to its death. As the leprechaun does a victory dance, the skies above the flying ship darken, and a lightning bolt sets the mast ablaze. As the burning ship crashes into the rocky cliffs below, a booming voice sounds from the sky. "That'll teach you, stealing my hammer!"

Catseye Boru, High King of Ireland, and Indurain, Grand Poobah of Ulster, are riding into battle. They see a pair of viking berserkers, so they dismount and draw their swords. Vampiric and Banjo Ironfjordassonssonsdaughterssistersson wave about their axes as they charge at Boru and Indurain. Just as a spectacular fight is about to begin, a stray catapult rock flattens the four of them. "Well, that was stupid," says Catseye Boru's spirit. "You can say that again," says Vampiric. "Excuse me," says a valkyrie, tapping Indurain's shoulder, "are you Vampiric, the mighty viking warrior I am to escort to Valhalla?" "Valhalla?" "You know, the place where brave warriors go when they die. When there, you get to fight all day, and there is a great feast every night. And when you die there, you come back to life to fight again." "Sounds great. So I get to go there?" "Depends. Are you Vampiric?" "Um... yes?" "Hold on!" says Vampiric, "he's not Vampiric! I am!" The valkyrie sighs. "Alright, here's what we'll do. You tell me what mighty deeds you've done, and then we'll see who's worthy to go to Valhalla." "Okay," says Indurain, "you start." "Fine by me," says Vampiric. "Just today, I slew a hundred Irishmen!" "Is that all? I slew... um... two hundred vikings!" "Also, I killed a mighty ice giant with my bare hands!" "With your bare hands? Ha! I licked one to death!" "And I defeated Smørrebrød the Mighty in single combat, and took his head for a prize!" "Pfft. I fought that guy too. He wasn't all that mighty anyway. I mean, he didn't even have a head!" "And I sailed to Vinland, and declared myself King of all I saw!" "Well, I conquered Ulster all by myself, and crowned myself Grand Poobah!" "You made that up," says Vampric. "No, I didn't! I'm Grand Poobah of Ulster, just ask Boru!" "He is," says the High King. "And I did all those other things too!" "He didn't," says Boru. "I did too!" "Did not. You haven't killed a single viking today." "I so did!" "I haven't even seen you unsheath your sword, and you were by my side all the time." "Ah, but I did kill vikings! I had my siege engineers construct a catapult, and ordered them to fire at the first vikings that got close to me!" "Um..." "What?" "Would that catapult be the one over there?" "Which one?" "The one that fired the rock that just killed us?" "Uh... maybe?" "Alright, I've heard enough," says the valkyrie. "Vampiric, you can come." "Hooray!" says Vampiric, climbing on the valkyrie's chariot. As she rides off, Indurain runs after the chariot, and jumps on just as it takes off. "Get off!" says the valkyrie. "No! I want to go to Valhalla!" "We're too heavy with you on, you idiot!" "But I want to drink all night and fight all day!" "Get off!" says the valkyrie, pushing Indurain off the chariot. "Well, crud." says the spirit of the Grand Poobah as he plummets into the sea.

WHOOT! I lived!
I am truly surprised.

Curse you Zar Peter! CURSE YOU! One of these days I'll get my revenge for the (let's see now, 1, 2, 3, ...) all the games you've gotten me killed in the first round!

Which incidentally, I believe is all of them.

@Zar: Don't worry, we shall take them all down.
The only way they will win is if they is if they pry my axe from my cold dead fingers. And yes, I know that is their plan.

@Vampric - Yeah it was awesome, thanks Lord Herman!

Time's up. Writing.

Lets hope he doesn't get stabbed this time as well...

[Lord Herman]

Cú Chulainn and Finn MacCumhail have joined forces, and they've decided to go after the raven Odin sent. Unfortunately, the raven can fly, whereas the Irish heroes can't. Luckily, Cú Chulainn comes up with a plan. They see the Viking of Stamford bridge, who is fighting an overwhelming horde of Irishmen. When he's finally killed after slaying many Irishmen, a Valkyrie comes for his spirit, and Cú Chulainn and Finn MacCumhail jump out from a nearby shrub and jump on her chariot. "Will you Irishmen stop trying to get to Valhalla!" she shouts as Cú Chulainn steers the flying chariot to chase the raven, while Finn MacCumhail stands ready with his sword. Unfortunately, the raven proves hard to catch, especially with an angry valkyrie trying to take back the reins. "Let go!" she shouts, and manages to wrest them from Cú Chulainn's hands. Suddenly, the raven turns around and attacks Cú Chulainn. The Irish hero loses his grip on the chariot's side, and falls off. And as the raven starts pecking at Finn MacCumhail's ears, the valkyrie gives him a swift kick, and he falls off too.

Back on the ground, St.Sinner and O'Fullbladder have spotted the valkyrie's chariot. They grab their bows, and start shooting at it. A lucky shot hits the horse, and the chariot quickly loses height and crashes into the hillside. The valkyrie is thrown out of the broken chariot, and lands face-first in a bear trap. Mordokai mac Murchada sees what happens, gets the dead valkyrie out of the bear trap, and tosses it into the sea. Unfortunately, he hasn't seen Mustiado, who grabs the king of Leinster and tosses him into the sea as well. St.Sinner is firing arrows at the vikings, when one of them walks up to her and says, "I, iceddragons, challenge you to single combat! Tell me your name, so I may know who I am fighting!" "I'm St.Sinner. Pleased to meet you," she says. "Huh? How can you be both a saint and a sinner?" "Well, it is kind of an oxymoron." "What? You call me a moron for not comprehending the connotative meaning of a clearly contradictory appellation? For this insult, you will die!" "Weren't you planning on killing me anyway? You did challenge me to single combat." "Uh... oh, shut up and die already!" The viking swings his axe, and lops St.Sinner's head clean off.

Dr. McNinja is mourning the death of his steed when two vikings attack him. Zar Petersson comes at him with a big axe, but Dr. McNinja throws a frozen shamrock at him, hitting him square between the eyes. Inigo Montoyen, the viking with the tinfoil hat, takes a swing at the doctor, but looks up as he sees the skies darken above him. Suddenly, a lightning bolt hits his tinfoil hat. A celtic druid stands on a nearby hilltop, grinning as the viking is fried.

King Kantur of Connacht and King Shadow of Munster are riding around the battlefield, stabbing vikings, and sometimes their own peasants when they're not paying attention. Suddenly, they run into a pair of angry vikings who appear to be out for blood. "Die, Irish dogs!" shouts bayar. "Taste my axe!" says Calamity. "Hey, I have an idea," says Kantur. "You there," he says, pointing at bayar. "Who, me?" "Here's a gold piece. Will you fight for me?" "Uh... okay." Shadow seems to get the idea, and says, "and you there. Yes you, that other guy. Here, I've got a gold piece for you too if you'll fight for me." "Yay!" "Okay," says Kantur, "now go and fight each other." "But..." "I'm your king, and I command you to fight him!" "What do I do? What do I do?" asks Calamity, who is now being attacked by bayar. "Fight back, of course! In the name of your king!" The vikings starts fighting, while the two Irish kings drink mead and watch. "Five cows on my viking," says Kantur. "Hmm... how about we make this interesting? Twenty cows." "Done." "Come on, you lazy viking!" shouts Shadow. "It's only a scratch!" "He took my arm off!" "No, he didn't! Now come back here and fight, you pansy!" The kings continue drinking as the vikings lop each others' limbs off. Finally, bayar decapitates Calamity, and then collapses from the blood loss of having lost both arms. "Um... I think they're both dead," says Shadow. "Yours died first," says Kantur. "He didn't!" "Yes, he did. He lopped off your viking's head, and then died himself." "Ah! But I read somewhere that can survive for about thirty seconds with your head cut off!" "Who wrote that?" "I think it was St. Peter the Liar." "St. Peter wasn't a liar!" "No, but that guy who claimed to be St. Peter was." "Let's just get back to killing peasants." "Vikings." "Them too."

Yay for Dr. McNinja! Get that mean old Tsar.

[Thanatos 51-50]

YAY!
Very well written.

Its also kinda scary that I even survived past round one, much less round two.

(Pssst. You may want to close your colour tag on the player list.)

[Mustiado]

Hmmm. I've... never survived this long... I don't know what to do. :smalleek:

[Thes Hunter]

Oh my look at that lynch mob, whatever did I do to deserve that? :smallbiggrin:

[DemonicAngel]

holy hell.. two vikings, and I'm one of them?! I hope I'll survive...

****. I will NEVER join the same team as Mordokai...since it always end up losing :biggrin:

Yay for Dr. McNinja! Get that mean old Tsar.
Yay, go me! Go me!

****. I will NEVER join the same team as Mordokai...since it always end up losing :biggrin:

Actually, it's all Pete's fault :smalltongue:

And since when did I became a popular target? :smallannoyed:

[Thes Hunter]

It's all that running around with wemmins that will get you every time. :smallwink::smallbiggrin:

[Hyozo]

Actually, I can think of something else (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86317) which may be the cause.

[Zar Peter]

Actually, it's all Pete's fault :smalltongue:

And since when did I became a popular target? :smallannoyed:

All who signed up in my team are helping me keeping the tin cup... :smallbiggrin::smallcool:

Thank you so much for that.

[Mustiado]

Actually, I think it had more to do with the fact that I was sure you wouldn't shoot yourself two rounds in a row. :smallbiggrin:

[Mordokai]

*inappropriate hand gesture, in Mustiado's general direction*

Hey! Type to yer mother with those fingers!

My poor, virgin eyes...

[Mordokai]

That can be fixed as well!

*brings out the fork*

Come closer, will ya?

I was actually seriously considering attacking D-D. I'm glad I realized that I could never defeat Dr.McNinja and wisely decided to kill oxymoron man instead. As a benefit I even got to look smart while I was doing it.

[St.Sinner]

That's oxymoron woman to you, my good sir.

Some inspirational music (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=jF5oPzA7g2w) for my surviving Irish brethren. Okay, so the lyrics aren't thematic, but the song is beautiful.

[Hyozo]

That's oxymoron woman to you, my good sir.

Lies! there are no girls on the internet! :smallbiggrin:

Sorry about that Mr. Woman. People whose intention is to confuse people tend to confuse people.

[St.Sinner]

'Tis okay. Don't apologise. Just hurry up and be crushed by my Irish buddies.

[Lord Herman]

Odin's raven flying above the battlefield, scouting for the vikings. On the ground, an Irish zombie points at the sky, moaning, "Braaaaaaaaaaainsh! *hic*," and falling over. The other Irishmen see the bird, and start firing arrows at it. The raven nimbly dodges them, and dives down to make a harder target. Dr. McNinja throws frozen shamrocks at the bird, but the bird is too fast, and the shamrocks hit a tree instead. O'Fullbladder and Mustiado draw their swords, and go after the bird, who now flies into the nearby forest. "Get it! Get it!" shouts O'Fullbladder, but after a while, they lose sight of the bird. They then see the kings of Connacht and Munster ride past. King Shadow stops his horse, and asks, "Where did the bird go?" "That way, I think," says Mustiado, pointing north. "Thank you, peasant. Here, buy yourself some... uh... mud or something," says the king, tossing Mustiado a silver coin. Kantur and Shadow ride north, chasing the raven through the forest. Finally, they see it sitting on a floating log in a forest stream. "There it is! Kill it!" shouts Kantur, waving about his sword. Suddenly, the log opens its maw, and eats the raven. "Huh," says Shadow, "who'd have thought. Crocodiles in Ireland." "Aren't they tropical?" "No, that's coconuts."

Iceddragons wanders the battlefield, singing a jaunty tune about horribly maiming his foe and using his entrails as Christmas decorations. Suddenly, the skies darken, and a lightning bolt hits the viking's helmet. The druid on the nearby hilltop curses as he sees the viking isn't toasted. Another few lightning bolts hit the viking, but he doesn't catch fire or explodes. The druid runs down the hill, and says to the viking, "Hey, you! How come you're not getting toasted by my lightning?" "I am iceddragons, blessed warrior of Thor! The god of thunder would never allow me to get fried by lightning! Also, these rubber soles might have something to do with it." "Well, those soles won't protect you from this!" says the druid, drawing his sword. He swings it at the viking, but as the sword hits his armour, there is a flash and a loud snapping noise, and smoke comes out of the druid's ears. "Oh, there might be some static electricity left in my armour. Happens sometimes," says iceddragons as the druid falls over, stone dead.

I'm dead serious.

[Hyozo]

The irony?

I'm dead serious.

I guess I should be glad you hate air so much more than me, and now that you're dead you don't have to breathe it any more. Everybody* wins!

*in this statement "everybody" is defined as "just me and nobody else, especially not you since you're dead."

[Dallas-Dakota]

Well first I wanted to shoot Shadow, but Herman told me I couldn't do that.....

So I just shot the air....

[Lord Herman]

"Well, that's that, then," says King Kantur, picking up Catseye Boru's simple yet elegant crown. "And we were doing so well!" says King Shadow, and picks up the ridiculously elaborate crown of the Grand Poobah of Ulster. "Hey look, he had a little cuckoo clock in his crown! I never noticed that!" "I did. Every hour." "Uhm, sire?" says O'Fullbladder, "I think that viking wants something." Iceddragons is standing a few feet away, and has been shouting challenges at the kings of Ireland for the past half hour. "Oh, right. Uhm... Shadow, you deal with him." "Okay."

Meanwhile, Mustiado, Dr. McNinja, and the Irish zombie have snuck into Dublin, and have started looting the place. "Hey guys," says Mustiado, "look what I found! A viking board game!" "Braaaaaaaaains?" asks the zombie. "No, it's called 'Mønøpølii'. Sounds complicated." "Complicated is my middle name!" says Dr. McNinja. "Let's play!"

"Alright, what do you want?" says King Shadow. "I challenge you to single combat for kingship of these lands!" says iceddragons. "Uhm... okay, but we'll do this the Irish way." "How's that?" "Well, first, there's the traditional Irish greeting." "Okay." "A-hem..."

"I think you have to move your little drakkar now," says Dr. McNinja. "Which one?" asks Mustiado. "All the playing figures are drakkars!" "Uhm... yeah, I guess they are." "Braaaaaaaaaains?" "No, boats. Anyway, just pick one."

"Are you sure this is a real Irish greeting?" "Yes, it is." "Then why aren't you doing it?" "Well, uhm... because we only have one chopped-off horse's head, and you, being a guest in our lands, should have it." "Oh." The viking sticks the horse's head on his helmet, and dances about like an idiot. "Yes, that's how it's done," says King Shadow. "Why aren't you dancing?" asks the viking. "I don't have a horse's head. Wouldn't be right to be dancing like an idiot without a chopped-off horse's head stuck on my helmet, now would it?" "Guess so. Now what do we do?" "Now we... uh..." King Kantur whispers something in King Shadow's ear. "Oh, right. Now that we've greeted each other, it is customary to get completely drunk."

"Okay, I landed on Dorestad," says Mustiado. "Now what do I do?" "Ha!" says Dr. McNinja, "Dorestad is mine! And I built a mint there!" "Okay. Um... I plunder it!" "What? No!" "It says here in the rules that you can plunder any town you land on. I plunder Dorestad. That'll be five thousand krone."

"Okay," says iceddragons, "sho what do we... *hic*... what do we do now?" "Now, uh... Kantur? *hic* Kantur, what do we do?" "I believe now there's the traditional standing next to that rock over there." "Me firsht!" shouts Shadow, pushing the viking aside. Suddenly, Kantur grabs him by the arm, and the viking gets to the rock first. "Heeey! *hic* That'sh cheating!" "Just watch." "Whatch gonna happen now?" asks the viking. "This," says Kantur. "This is the bit where you get flattened by a catapult rock." "Whu?" "Apparently, Grand Poobah Indurain ordered his catapult crew to shoot at any viking that got near him. It seems he got kinda crushed himself, but the order still stands." "Heeeeeey," says the viking, "you'sh trying to trick me!" "Yes, I am," says Kantur as a big rock lands on the viking.

"I'm gonna plunder you back!" says Dr. McNinja. "Hold on, you can't just go about plundering willy-nilly! You have to land on someone's town!" "No, it says here in the rules that you can, in fact, go about plundering willy-nilly." "Oh." "There's also a bit about chopping off other players' head with an axe." "Braaaaaaaaaaains!" "I agree," says Mustiado, "this game needs work."

"Well, I guess we've won," says King Kantur. "Yaaaaay!" says King Shadow, drinking another mug of mead. "Now we'll have to decide who will be High King." "Oooh! Pick me! *hic* Pick me!" "Well, I have considered picking you, but I'm afraid you don't have the necessary... qualifications." "Aww!" "So I have decided that I, King Kantur of Connacht, shall henceforth be known as Kantur, High King of Ireland. All hail the king." "Hooray!" "And now to divide Ireland among the kings. I have decided that Munster shall belong to... me." "Aww, I wash... *hic* ...hoping it'd be me!" "Leinster shall be ruled by... let's see... me, and Connacht will, of course, remain mine. As for Ulster..." "Dibsh!" "What?" "I call... *hic* ...dibsh on Ulshter! I wanna be Grand Poobah with the cuckoo crown and everything!" "Well, I suppose I could give you the title of Grand Poobah, but it'd be purely ceremonial. All real power will remain in the hands of the High King." "Do I get the fanshy crown?" "Sure." "Yay!"

And thus Kantur became High King of Ireland. His reign was not to last, however. When Shadow sobered up, the kings started fighting amongst themselves again, and Ireland remained divided until some English king decided 'Lord of Ireland' would look nice on his list of titles.

Wait...I survived to the end of a game? That's...Unusual. And became High King of Ireland.

Oh, and Mordokai? You're half right.

We're victorius, alive cowards. The air attacks everyone unless you attack it apparently.

[Thanatos 51-50]

We simply know our enemy, that is all.

[Shadow]

Those two rounds weren't even coordinated.
Not with me anyway....

Well done, my brothers!

[Lord Herman]

The medals are now up, and I've also updated my internet with the results of this game.

[Uncle Festy]

I didn't hear anything from anyone.
Hooray for Irish cowardice! :smallbiggrin:

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

I knew it! Yay! I survived a TRAF!

[Zar Peter]

Congratulations, Lord Fullbladder. I'm really happy with you :smallbiggrin::smallcool:

And great narration, Lord Herman. That was hillarious. Now I want to play "Plunder Monopoly"

[V.Z.]

No no no! You've got it all wrong! It's called Mønøpølii! :smalltongue: But indeed. Herman's narrations always make up entirely for my constant being killed off in round 1, though I had hoped Frits the Goblin would have sung some Frans Bauer songs in the Warcraft edition (it stood right there in his description damn it! :smalltongue:)

Also, with his new Team RAF rank, ZP can now truly call himself Zar. :smallbiggrin:

Now onto planning the next part. Lord of the Rings has been a TRAF theme suggestion as long as I've been playing (yes... yes, I know that's a whopping four games. now be quiet! :smallamused:). I say we actually use it as a theme for a change.

[Reinholdt]

And great narration, Lord Herman. That was hillarious. Now I want to play "Plunder Monopoly"

I'd play that game. I call the viking hat.

V I was dead. It's hard to pay attention in that state. Not to mention my cat species makes such a feat nearly... STRING! *pounce*

[Mustiado]

Weren't you paying attention? We're all boats.

--Runs off with his Krone that he plundered--

I can't believe I lived through one of these. I'm amazed!

Also, I'd like to see manly sports against "wussy" sports.

Just because its sure to cause debate.

[androgial]

well i say next game be


cats v dogs

[The Bushranger]

Yay, I actually was on the winning team for the first time! :smallbiggrin:

[Fan]

I blame myself for not particpating.
Also I'm goign to vote for a FF round of TRAF!

[Hyozo]

I realized I had no way of accurately determining if one of you would shoot me or not, so I flipped a coin to keep myself from going insane from repeatedly second-guessing myself. It may not have won me the game, but at least I can attribute my failure to bad luck instead of a bad decision.

It was a fun game. To all my fellow vikings; sorry I messed up. To all the Irishmen; congratulations on making the right guess.

[Bayar]

My suggestions:
LotR
Cats VS Dogs
Eberron VS Forgotten realms

[The Bushranger]

Eberron vs FR! Doooooooooooo it!

[Fredricus]

Can't wait for the next game

[Thanatos 51-50]

Penguins vs. Turtles!

Cabbages vs. Lettuce!

Fey vs. Goblinoids!

[Mordokai]

Herman, shouldn't my grudge points be at 7? I outlived banjo for one round, therefore, I believe I'm entitled to one.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Gotten or send nothing on my part either. I just know who the true enemy is!

And I shall keeep suggesting LOTRRRRR(Lord Of The Riding Red Rampaging Rodeocowboys:smalltongue:)(LotR)

That I have been doing since like...my third game...Wow, I've been playing TRAF for some time now....

[Vampiric]

Can't wait for the next game

I'll get you next time, Gadget!

NEXT TIIIIME!!!

*shakes fist*

Wait... :smallconfused:

How many times have I done that? And how many times have I lost...

Hmmm.... I sense... Brainwave!

I'll never get you, Gadget!

*unshakes fist*

EDIT: Also, does anyone else find it hilarious that Cal and I have second place at the top and bottom of the Bestest Friends medal list? :smalltongue:

Or that I'm second place for the lead medal for Survivor, but I have the record for wins? :smallconfused: :smallbiggrin:

[St.Sinner]

How about Attila the Hun vs. Chinese Army?
Elves vs. Dwarves?
Greek pantheon vs. DnD gods, Twelve Gods, et al
Police vs. Anarchists

[Flame of Anor]

LotR and FR v. Eberron sound good. How about
STAR WARS versus STAR TREK?
