EN World Game of Death #2

[Macbrea]

Technically, the regeneration of celestial's has been errata'd to Fast healing 15. But thats a different story.

Grrr, I need to get this rolling again I guess. So, I am going to have to make a ruling on the greater command (die).

After reading through, what I can find the only effect that can possibly be is helpless. Welp, I guess on the Kanyano/Meme's elf issue I will just add up the votes. My vote will not count except as a tie breaker.

It is Garions action when he is ready.

I think the points go to clockworkjoe. If Kanyano dies or leaves before his next action, I would've reverted to my Solar form...

Agreed. You're not dead until you hit -10. More than likely, Kanyano would have had no trouble finishing you off, but someone else beat him to it.

My conention is that if you give him ALL the points, you are in effect giving him a free attack. I'm not disputing that he did the most work. I just don't want to give him an advantage over the other players.

Re: killing points

Regarding awarding points for kills, I think the more useful question to ask is "what is better for the game?"

Do we really want to have a bunch of follower snipers ready to pick off anybody who falls unconscious?

Or would we prefer to see players forgo a coup de grace in favor of attacking players that are still conscious?

Personally, I would vote for the second, i.e. whenever a combatant dies (or at the end of combat when a combatant is still unconscious) award points to the last player to knock out that combatant.

This may have the interesting side effect that players may actually decide to revive unconscious characters in order to gang up on a stronger opponent. All the better!

Hey, Macbrea! If the Ghaele kills everyone else before it has to disappear, do I win?

And if you committed suicide, would you get points for killing yourself as well?

 

[Macbrea]

Hmm, ok, voting doesn't seem to work...heh.

Meme 3
Kanyano 3
Split 1

odd.


Gah!. Anyways. I will not worry too much about it. I will figure it out after the game. I am prone to give the points to Kanyano as the blow that knocked Dabbil down was his. As to Dabbil's Ghael killing someone later in the rounds he will get the points. His Points are currently 4pt for rounds survived. He could get more if the ghael does kill someone.

We need to get this game rolling again and stop discussing stuff! More murder and mayham!

 

[Macbrea]

Hey, Macbrea! If the Ghaele kills everyone else before it has to disappear, do I win?

If the ghael does kill everyone in the next 16 rounds sure. But since, it has to follow its last orders, there being a wall of force and someone is ethereal the odds of this are alittle slim.

Heh - I'm not really in it for the points, the fun is motivation enough for me!

But I would still like to fight Meme for the points - him and all his elfs. And I almost forgot sweet Lisa! That's what I call fair - the winner gets it all!

Kanyano challenges:"Come on - let's fight it out! You... you... Meme!"


Anyway it is not likely that anyone would have been able to save Dabbil from Kanyano's next attack as he would have held on to the harpoon lodged in his victim - to the bitter end!

(OT) Nobody could claim that kill-points ever made a good basis for experience points. I think of it merely as a very crude method to approximate the "usefulness" of a characters action. The same reasoning may be used for judging this case. But why bother? I think Conaill has had the best suggestions concerning this issue.

Concerning the orders to the Ghaele: Please don't make any statements concerning something that has not come into play, as they will inevitably effect the players actions.It's just a game so let's have fun.

"Come On!!! Gonna get you, Meme!!!"

Anyway it is not likely that anyone would have been able to save Dabbil from Kanyano's next attack as he would have held on to the harpoon lodged in his victim - to the bitter end!

Well, probably that's true, but 2 rounds ago, we all thought that dabbil would have probably lived longer!

But, my point is that you got a free attack. I know you could have easily slain him in your next turn, BUT that would have meant you had to:

*remained in that square to attack
*spent an attack to kill him
*Not miss or fumble that attack

Which are significant actions with unforseen consequences. Now you don't have to do any of that, giving you more options.

I don't want to flame you or anyone else, I just honestly think I deserve the points. Sure, followers can snipe at people for easy kills. But they're freaking followers. If you hate them that much, kill em.

 

[Macbrea]

Bah, we will drop this for now and get back to the game.


As soon as I receive Garions actions we shall move on. The matter of the points won't make a difference until the end. And since the winner gets a bonus 100 they will always be in the lead. It was designed that way.
