"Yeah, no. I draw the line at that."

Headlock guy with remote, and take it from him. If I get it, start flipping channels.

"Watch porn on your own time."

((Where did those five tokens come from? I was pretty sure that I had no tokens left, before I sold the sheet.))

[Knight Otu]

Gorat looks at his wristpad, and sends a message to Feyri.

Guess I'm in. Where do I pay the entry fee?

Hi Gorat!

You'll have to look for Jim - the one in a robot suit who may or may not have a neutral emoticon along the lines of >_>

That's alright with you, right? :P

[Knight Otu]

As long as he's not participating. That might...



... damage the weapons.

Go find Jim.

[anailater]

((Oh now i feel like an idiot, i thought that was just the listing number thingy, O.k. that makes a lot more sense now.))
Give Jim my entry fee, then back to the ORA.....ing

[Caellath]

Check if the system could be modified to add a new feature: lock on a target like a true missile - move towards it at high speeds, correcting the flight if necessary, then brake right in front of it.

[Toaster]

((Hey Pyro, you could see if the Injector Blade could be modified into the style of a harpoon gun, where it is launched and injects air into the target via a CO2 cartridge in the shaft.  That'd be useful versus soft targets.))

[SeriousConcentrate]

Jim put away the remaining scrap metal and picked up his large amount of weapons, then took them to the rec room, where he was approached by several different people and took tokens as necessary.

@Mason: "Thanks for participating. Preparations are almost complete; we should be starting up soon."
@Thomas: "We have four positions we need filled. There's the play-by-play announcer, who sticks to the facts about what's going on; there's the color commentator, who often provides background on the fighters in the ring and tries to liven up the broadcast with more opinionated comments; there's the referee, although I'm thinking of taking that role myself since they might get hit by a stray blow; and then there's the ring announcer, who introduces both fighters before the bout begins. Normally we wouldn't need anything but the referee, but since this is being broadcast I figured we might as well go the whole way. What are you interested in?" (I figure Steve is going to want to be color commentary, though. He snarks so well, he might as well be the heel of the announce team. XD)
@Gorat: "Nah, I'm not in the tournament. It's for people who still have at least 50% of their natural bodies, since someone like myself would have an unfair advantage. Thanks for signing up."

[piecewise]

Before he's out of sight...
"Wait!  How long will it take?  If I leave, when should I be back here by?"

Already gone. Dang it. Well, maybe he'll give you a message when it's done.

(Fair enough. I'll list the weapons here for the participants, keep in mind there's two of each:

Longsword
Dagger
Mace
Two-Handed Sword
Spear
Knuckledusters)

Done and done.

Faith frowned. That was clearly a fluke.

Try again.

[dex:5+1]
You punch the bag at lightning speed, your fists nothing but a blur of movement as they strike the bag.

"Huh. Nice, but , uh... Kinda weird." Floki squinted at the screen, then at the remote. Clearly something was wrong here...

>Adjust the colour/saturation controls on the remote until the nude lady on screen takes on a healthier, more attractive tone!

>Also keep an eye out for when this tournament's getting underway.

You attempt to change the color on the screen to fix what must be some kind of distortion in the image when a man, a man who is unmistakably Thomas, walks up behind her and...oh..oh my...

"Hi there," Feyri said to [PROSPERUS] before replying to the Doctor, "Are the bodies or body parts recycled into...food for- perhaps, people? Are they used in making...constructs made for our benefits? What about that Basilisk named Piecewise I saw earlier? How'd you get it?"

ASK

"Food? Wouldn't know about that myself. As per that Basilisk, I believe your discarded organs played a large part in it's creation. "

Just walk around the room, getting in and out of the hyper-mode. Then walk around the ship and change mode everytime I see someone and go back to normal.

Yes, but physically how do you want to try and activate it? He never did tell you how you control it, how you enter or exit that mode. You have to figure that out on your own.

Can do, I'll be hanging out in VR anyways, once I get back from the Armory.

Thanks for the access to what's still there. I'll see if I can do anything with them.

Go to the Rec Room and hook up, pay Jim a token for the tourny.

You head to the Rec room and find jim, paying him a token to join the Tournament.

((Lars isn't officially in- just moved to the area.  Right now he's more interested in the holy book he found.))


Fascinating.  This is a true treasure of holy knowledge.

Keep reading!

"Cog-azaon: God of Knowledge.  Also known as Cog-azaon the wise, Cog-azaon of secrets and Cog-azaon the whisperer."

The picture on the opposing page shows a god depicted as a “ball and stick” representation of a Buckminsterfullerene molecule with a brilliant glowing corona in the shape of the “Mandelbrot Set” fractal. The symbol beneath it is a hexagon.

"Cog-azaon knows all things that are or shall be, save for the machinations of Pathmas, which no being is privy to. Cog-azaon Was birthed of Pathmas and so he gave life to Hal-mon, God of Machines and father of the Engineer's pantheon. Prayers to him are always requests for information and his symbol may be placed upon what the worshiper wishes to understand, or upon the forehead of the worshiper to grant him greater knowledge as a whole.

Prayers to Cog-azaon are considered safe however being marked with his symbol is a different story. Those marked with his symbol are said to gifted with increased knowledge and intuition but is slowly driven mad by the constant whispering of information the god is said to enact on those with his mark."

Thomas seeks out Jim!
"Excuse me, Feyri said to seek you out if I wanted to help with your tournament. I can't participate, I don't have any money, but  I'd like to help you guys out. Got nothin' better to do."

You find Jim and offer him your services.

Well, I don't think I should purchase a Gauss Rifle. I'm not sure I'd know how to use it, to be honest.

Go back to armory.

"Excuse me, would you happen to have some glass I could have and a bag? And instant fruity drink mix, if you have any. And a mortar and pestle."

Get all those things, if possible. Go to the Rec Room and sit down.

You get a small sheet of glass, a mortar and pestle, a bag of instant drink mix, awesome atomic apple flavor, and a very solid feeling bag made of some sort of plastic from the armory master. You return to the rec room and sit at one of the tables on the mess hall side.

"Yeah, no. I draw the line at that."

Headlock guy with remote, and take it from him. If I get it, start flipping channels.

"Watch porn on your own time."

((Where did those five tokens come from? I was pretty sure that I had no tokens left, before I sold the sheet.))

(maybe, I lost some data in a computer crash a while back so I might be remembering wrong. Fixed it.)

You grab the remote out of the other guy's hands and start frantically flipping away.

"...Food shortage in...."

"...Haebi sporeworld spotted..."

"...Samuel Hardlin Memorial Library under quarantine..."

As long as he's not participating. That might...



... damage the weapons.

Go find Jim.

You find Jim standing around in the rec room, Doing rec room things.

((Oh now i feel like an idiot, i thought that was just the listing number thingy, O.k. that makes a lot more sense now.))
Give Jim my entry fee, then back to the ORA.....ing

Check if the system could be modified to add a new feature: lock on a target like a true missile - move towards it at high speeds, correcting the flight if necessary, then brake right in front of it.

Well, to do that is possible but it would require some much more enhanced software because you'd need to be able to not only have the program differentiate a target from the background or anything else running around at the time but also for it to recognize things in the way and how to maneuver around them effectively. Also, breaking is a bit of a problem: The main rockets are on your back so normally to stop you flip so you're flying feet first and use the reverse thrust to slow yourself. Doing that in this case would make using a normal weapon difficult, though you could have some pretty nasty flying kicks.

Also the problem is that normally you break rather slowly, slowing down gradually, where as it seems you want to break very quickly here which would cause anything from black outs to just straight death by being crushed by g-forces.

Jim put away the remaining scrap metal and picked up his large amount of weapons, then took them to the rec room, where he was approached by several different people and took tokens as necessary.

You take your weapons to the rec room and begin gathering money from the participants.

(remember, need that list of participants whenever you get started.)

[SeriousConcentrate]

(I think Tir has the participant list? I'll look through his posts, see if I can find it.)

(Yeah, here it is.)

Floki - Yoink
Stacy - Harry Baldman
Cog(?) - kisame12794
May - TCM
Mason - anailater
? - OREOSOME
Brother Lars[?] - Toaster
Kyle - Nicholas1024


Organizers:
Feyri - Tiruin
Jim - SeriousConcentrate

((8 participants. The fun thing is, 15 token prize. ))

(I have to apologize to Oreo, I don't know your character's name right now. >.> Also I fixed anailater's to Mason.)

[TCM]

"So...how's this tournament going to work exactly?"

[Toaster]

((Serious:  Lars is not signed up.  Too interested in holy book.))


Lars perked up as he read the latest entry.  Now this was interesting.  Was this Cog-azaon another manifestation of the Gazer?  He'd have to remember this information.  For now, onward.


Keep reading!

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I'll randomly match up the fighters in pairs, and the winners progress to the next round. There are two ways to win a round. One is by points; first to ten wins. To get points, you just have to hit your target with your chosen weapon. A shot to the limbs is one point, a shot to the body is two points, and a shot to the head is three points. The other is if your opponent submits or is deemed unable to continue because of injuries.

As for the rest, there's only one rule: don't destroy your opponent's brain. Everything else you want to do to them is acceptable. The goal here is to get ratings, so if you want to put your opponent in a stranglehold that's fine by me. Any other questions?"

(I was going by Tir's post, Toaster. But still, seven, huh? Hmm. That's a bit uneven. We need one more participant to make it an even eight, or else someone will luck out and get a free first round. >.>)

[Caellath]

Create dummy in a MkIII that keeps zipping around at half speed. Try the modified dashing/missile system to follow and full speed and deliver a flying kick (not slowing down when nearing the target). Check how it goes, then repeat with extra foot armor and then with a kinetic amp at the sole of the boots but no armor.

[Harry Baldman]

((Stacy never signed up, either. At least he did not give a token.))

Hearing the whole thing about the staff for the tournament, Stacy walks up to Jim.

"Greetings, stranger! I'm Stacy Buttle, pleased to meet you. I hear that some kind of tournament is being organized. And I also just happened to eavesdrop on your conversation, sorry about that by the way, and I would like to know if you still need a play-by-play commentator. Moreover, would I get anything for being one? Not that it's absolutely necessary, mind you, I'd just like to know. Regardless, I'd like to sign up. As a play-by-play commentator."

Making sure that my suit is still on with the faceplate down, powder the glass with the mortar and pestle. After that's done, pour the results into the plastic bag.
