We already got 3 dead guys on map 1. What are you guys doing over there on map 2?

wow.
discussion about the Game.
Whooda thunk?

I find it strange that you'd jeer Map 2's fatality count, yet ignore a partial cause : Martok Maze-ing Therron.
If not for that move (which was a smart move by Martok, since he was so close to Therron, he probably would have been a prime target even before he attacked), I personally guarantee there would have already been 3 or 4 kills on this side of the Map.

Oh, okay reaper. Sure there would be...everyone would just lie down and you could show how much damage your character can do in one round.

Yeah, I don't think Ancryx should have been able to escape, because clockwork's rules interpretation is so open to holes it's not funny.

Yeah, it's not Map2's fault they don't have any weak losers like Tobias, Zaliad, or Landerin to smack around. Notice how Map2's so tough, people move into Map1 to find people to kill. How pathetic is that?

Zalilad was never as helpless as I would've liked. I resent the implication that I beat up on a helpless victim. Note that the time he was Dominated and the protection from law was suppressed by the minor globe of invulnerability, I did not attack him. It would be unsporting to attack someone you have Dominated. When he was a stinker about not wanting to be Dominated, I had to, uh, punish him. But he was never once helpless. Just outmatched.

I'm not impugning your kill but Zalilad's player was a bit off. His first turn, he wanted to take out a 10 foot pole, some silk rope, and go fishing

Is this sarcasm or not? I don't see how me ruling that large and in charge can't be used to trap people is open to holes. If I allowed that, then why would anyone want to grapple?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

....

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

who was he/where was he from? i know you said that there was some third site besides SA and ENworld that you invited people from... was he from there? or was he a fifth Goon?

also, i'm pretty sure that Hammerhead was being sarcastic. it sounds like he's continuing a nice, satisfying regimen of mocking reaper. best pastime there is!

You know it, bay-bee.

Hell, Therron would have smashed everyone in the Game already if it wasn't for that pesky kid, Martok...

That's what I'm talkin' about...

Hammerhead · Mar 1, 2003

Well, no I wasn't being sarcastic. Your ruling on Large and In Charge (which I didn't want to mention because I didn't want to divulge information) ruled that it only worked on people coming towards you. However, what constitutes coming towards someone? What if someone moves by you?

I would rule that on a case by case basis but generally, anyone who ended up being closer to the person than he started would be considered moving towards you

Victim · Mar 1, 2003

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.

If Therron had been running around for the past 5, 6 rounds, I'd probably expect Hawkeye to be dead. Maturak probably wouldn't have attacked Ancryx, because that would have placed him at risk from a charge. Ancryx, because he could use constructs to block charge paths, would have done better. Martok would have been much more quick to dodge out of true seeing range, and could have unleashed some other nastiness by using a different action. After watching Therron charge someone, one player probably would have used one of the wishes to attempt to attack him.

Zalilad's actions . . . err . . . seem really weird. Maybe Dabbil isn't such a force to be reckoned with.

Number47 · Mar 1, 2003

I don't consider myself so much a force to be reckoned with, as a character to wonder (maybe even worry) about. However, just because I don't consider myself a force to be reckoned with doesn't mean my character isn't well-rounded enough to win with skill, strategy and luck. Not to mention I have the advantage of loot, now. Looting is good.
