Battle Royale of the Gawds continuation

[clockworkjoe]

The LaiC ruling isn't that big of a deal now, because I know how it's going to work and can plan accordingly.

But that one round (3?), I was really counting on it to keep Ancryx stuck in the AMF. Originally, I was going to use my AoO to trip him so he'd be knocked down. Since he already spent one move action provoking the AoO, he'd need to spend his other one to get up and thus couldn't escape. Or something like that.

But at the last minute, I'm like "Hey, I have Large and in Charge. I can hit him for damage and still keep the lich from getting away." So I changed my AoO choice at the last minute.

Next time, lich boy, next time.

Ahh, you should have specified what you were thinking about when you sent that turn in. Generally, it helps me and the player when the player describes his purpose behind his action, especially if it is a bit exotic.
live and learn.

Edit, also I think Zalilad just gave up and decided that he would lose on purpose because he couldn't win, or he just didn't care that much

It wasn't part of my normal turn, otherwise I would have probably described it.

 

[Saepiroth]

that's probably a lesson, then... explain your general strategy to him when you send in your turn, and that way you'll be able to clarify things. he sent back to me a couple times to correct something, when i screwed up or misjudged something about his rulings like that.

Hey, Saep - while you're on. Could I get a link to the webpage? Windows died on me last night, and I had to reformat... so now I'm without lots of stuff.

Thanks. Nothing else, really - now I've just got to spend the next few days on a slow reconstruction of as much as possible. I lost a lot of stuff last night.

that's why you use two hard drives and install Windows on a separate partiton. that way you won't lose everything if windows bursts like an overripe cyst.

i have partitions like this...

hard drive 1; 1 forty gig partition. it's full of crap, but i've moved everything important off of it. this currently contains windows, but it's really just sitting there waiting to die. i just don't have the necessary will to format it myself.

hard drive 2; two partitions.

partition 1; 70 gigs of crap storage. installs, movies, music, and etc.

partition 2; pristine ten gigs of free, empty space. all ready for a windows install when the old windows install or the old hard drive burst.

 

[Terraism]

Yeah, I've got things partioned up, which meant I got to keep a lot of things, but that still left a lot on the Windows partition. My e-mail information (years of e-mails; I have some backed up, but...) all my custom settings, etc.

 

[Saepiroth]

i guess that's why you relocate "documents and settings" off of the windows partition.


happy horrribly-painful-and-tedious-reconstruction trails!

Nah, that's why you run linux or os/x =o)
