About the action pool >> I guess it depends on how much it was set to change... if it was set to a standard on each win makes the pool grow with 1, it makes no difference... but if it depends on how much you win it might be interesting...

DrSpike · November 28, 2003, 12:20

After reading the rules I'm not really sure how much the action pool was supposed to increase between fights anyway, even in Jamski's original free-for-all structure.

Jamski · November 28, 2003, 12:49

BTW, a player reduced to 1 APP is so badly wounded he can't fight. He can either put his one point in attack OR power OR defend. Whichever he can't bring anyone down. The other player can kill him at his lesiure, unless he's too badly wounded too. Then we'd have to have a replay once they were healed.

APP's were supposed to increase by one for a win, and decrease by one for chickening out of a fight. But in a knockout everyone will be at the same level. So all fights in the first round with 10 APP's, second round with 11 APP's and final with 12 APP's. The winner will have 13 APP's but noone left to kill

So Jamski and I are fighting in this round, and Spikie is the umpire?

Ok then, orders sent (in a second).

I request the name-change to Skanky Meridius - easier for me to recognise that name.

How about if the winner gets 50% of his left over energy as bonus for future games?

If someone gets a flawless victory in first round, he'll get 5 more energy for next round... It's always rounded down (?) though => If one wins with 5 he only gets 2...

Countrymen, we have a grand bout to the death between Jamskius Maximus and Skanky Meridius.

The centurion, just back from quelling the barbarian hordes, looks as hard as steel as he circles Jamskius, a once fearsome general. Surely the ageing general must be the underdog, but, the bouts are of a method of his own devising, and as such he must have a trick or two up his sleeve.

Suddenly, the circling stops and there is a flurry of activity!

Both men score hits, but Jamskius only inflicts a glancing blow, doing 1 damage. Skanky lands a full swing of his mighty sword, resulting in 4 damage.

They begin to circle again.................

Asmodean · November 28, 2003, 18:57

I'll take ADG Mysterius vs Sheepus of Germania

When shall we have this battle?

Asmodean

DrSpike · November 28, 2003, 19:16

Start as soon as you like...........no point doing the battles in order I think.

However it could get chaotic, so clearly indicate the match and which round it is and how many points each player has at the start of the round.

Adagio · November 29, 2003, 06:21

PM sent to Asmodean

Skanky Burns · November 29, 2003, 06:40

PM sent to Spikie.

Quoth Skanky Meridius "No-one goes up against my might sword without paying a terrible price!"

Asmodean · November 29, 2003, 06:59

ADG...I have received your PM. Sheep is probably sleeping right now, so we'll have to wait untill evening to start the bout

Also: My parents are visiting today, so I'll probably not be online that much today. Things look better tomorrow

Asmodean

Adagio · November 29, 2003, 07:05

Almost same here... I'm going to visit my parents, so I wont have much online time either

Skanky Burns · November 29, 2003, 21:58

Must be the same story with Jamski. I mean, one taste of my cold hard steel shouldn't cause him to run screaming into the night...

Vlad Antlerkov · November 29, 2003, 22:14

If it's not too late...

Tyndareus Antleridus wishes to fight someone. Preferably another newbie.

Skanky Burns · November 29, 2003, 22:30

We are all newbies at the moment.

Although Jamski and I have played 1 round so far, so I guess we are the most experienced players.

Especially for a man whose sexual peccadilloes include farmyard animals.

Jamski · November 30, 2003, 09:53

OW!

You bastard! That hurt. Orders are on thier way for my revenge.

-Jam

General Ludd · November 30, 2003, 10:02

so, is ADG doing mine and Asmodean's match?

Adagio · November 30, 2003, 10:02

Are there still no sign of Sheepus of Germania?

Adagio · November 30, 2003, 10:03

Unless someone objects, I'll be collecting your match-orders

DrSpike · November 30, 2003, 13:44

The ageing general looks tired after the initial sparring. Suddenly, Skanky Meridius strikes, and Jamskius cannot respond in time. The blow does 2 damage.

Jamskius tries to land a riposte whilst Skanky is overstretched, but the blow is unfortunately blocked.

Jamski · November 30, 2003, 19:31

Ow, I'm really bleeding now... need a medicus... just try one more blow...

-Jam

Skanky Burns · November 30, 2003, 22:37

Teeheehee.

"You fight like a dairy farmer!"

Tassadar500 · November 30, 2003, 23:27

Can I join?

vovan · December 1, 2003, 01:35

Man, what's up with all those new forum games? The Emperors have finally discovered a legit way to majorly pad their post count?

I'll maybe join once I read through the rules.

Tass and I will pair up and take on anybody.

Jamski · December 1, 2003, 03:57

You fight like a cow, Centurion S. Burns.

(was that the right one? so many years...)

-Jam

Skanky Burns · December 1, 2003, 08:14

Yeah.

But this cow will be the death of you. Sorry.

Round 3 analysis to follow shortly.

Adagio · December 1, 2003, 14:27

Waiting for Asmodeans vote for first round...

DrSpike · December 1, 2003, 14:36

Jamskius looks very tired after the previous exchanges; suddenly Skanky strikes once more, doing 3 damage against the lethargic Jamskius. However, Skanky gets overconfident and allows the general to scrape his thigh with his blade, doing 1 damage.

Btw I meant to post on ties.......I'm giving the tie to the attacker, and I think this should be the default.
