Just to double check, the descriptions/init have not been posted yet right?

Don't want to end up holding this thing up.

Nothing's been posted since you last checked in.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Err back, any chance you received that email yet Seasong? Otherwise now I can email it myself.

 

[Saepiroth]

My game on SA is a-startin'.

I am writing up the descriptions and everything now. Just in case I have some problems with the site, which is not unheard of , here is initiative. So far as I know, there were no failures in any prep rounds, so operate on the assumption that everything you sent me to happen, happened.

One exception: If you indicated movement, there was no movement - that happens in round one. The prep round happens outside the arena proper.

Here are the initiatives, from highest to lowest:

reapersaurus (Master) - 33 Init
DM with a vengence (Hagbard the Chartreuse) - 28 Init
Cool hand luke (Antony Grandell) - 27 Init
Jeremy (Osirdar) - 25 Init
reapersaurus (Blaster) - 23 Init
Number47 (Xiao Fung) - 22 Init
Jdragon (Izad) - 22 Init

Jeremy (Tairnandon (human)) - 21 Init
Sollir Furryfoot (Rillos) - 20 Init

[Number47]

Did you count Xiao Fung's init at +16 and Xiao Lung's at +15?

 

[Saepiroth]

I take, then, that I am not currently airborne? then.

 

[seasong]

Number47: Yes, sorry. If anyone deserved the highest initiative, it was you (1, 2 and 6 is just not right). At least you're tied with Cholestus (which reminds me, see Ties, below).

Saepiroth: Correct. Moving during the prep round has no impact on where you appear in the arena. You can move during the first round.

TIES

Can't believe I didn't post this with the initiatives . The actual order for the places that were tied will be:

Init 22:
Xiao Fung
Izad
Rax
Emeldra
Cholestus

Init 19:
Mang
Mr Cuffles

Init 17:
Unth Dirn
Mrs Stampy

Init 16:
Xiao Lung
Usasmir

Init 14:
Thoramus
Mr Fluffles

Init 12:
Duder
Mr Buffles
Polar Bear D

Init 10:
Polar Bear C-red
Mortem Redgrave

Init 7:
Omigawd
Mr Gruffles

Init 5:
Marius the Weathered
Polar Bear E

Init 4:
Polar Bear B-blue
Polar Bear C-blue

Init 3:
Polar Bear A-red
Polar Bear B-red

 

[Number47]

Wow. I invested a LOT to try and get top initiatives. I wonder if even should have bothered.

It's tough to take a crap roll, much less 3 in a row. Given that you now know you got a crap roll, the initiative gamble doesn't look as good. If you'd rolled a 15, 19 and 20, however, you would probably have been quite happy with your decision. From a tactical standpoint, however, initiative is always a gamble, and at least your working for Initiative gauranteed that you aren't going LAST, which is what those rolls would have done to you otherwise.
