Rush stab him while he downish.

[superBlast]

Right... Running out of time. Well hiding won't help me much anymore.

Wait for those two to kill each other. Shield bash the survivor. If both are still alive, prioritize the one that is most dangerous.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Gah! And so close!

Fly out of range. Fly as high as I can. While doing so, take extra care to dodge. In fact, make sufficient evasive action to give me a +1 to dodging my first priority.

AS THE FINAL SURVIVOR, RYAN WINS THE GAME!



The crowd goes up in cheers as Ryan hoists his shield into the air. He will be the first to win the Arena games, but not the last.

Stay tuned for Game II!



So, this game was really just a vanilla test to see how the systems worked. I've decided I'll change some things in the future.

For example, I noticed that a lot of people would gang up on a single other player before the victim even got to post. To counter this, turns will randomized and the ordering of posting will not determine where you turn is.

And since this was just a test run, expect the next game to have more arena features and RP'ing and good stuffs. I'll get started on that now. Thanks for playing! :3

Another suggestion: Killing half the arena and dying to a lucky shot shouldn't put you out of the running. Maybe have a score penalty for dying. Also give the killing player a portion of the victim's points, say 10-25% of them, on top of a flat number; killing a kogan with several kills should be more momentous than killing a random horse. Perhaps the score penalties for death could also be based on the score of the killer, more if the kill err was dozens of points behind but less if you're just another in a series of murders by an awesome player.

I see your point, but I specifically like the way it is. I find there's some sort of twisted, ironic beauty in a character on a kill-streak getting killed randomly. The player has to choose either an offensive or defensive strategy, or something in the middle. In this case, defense worked. Besides strategy, I think the other thing to be factored in this game is the gambling aspect: Is it worth going for something and risking getting hurt, or not getting it and risking falling behind in the end?

I KNEW IT!

I BLOODY KNEW IT!

Clap clap well done superblast.

It would be, if the answer wasn't obvious: Hide and hope to be the last killed. Let the others kill each other and hope you prevail when it's down to you and one or two others.
That's not fun, if everyone does it, and not doing it puts you at a disadvantage.

Isn't that exactly what Ryan did?

But the whole thing with that is, if everyone does it, one person will just pop out and slowly go about killing someone. PLUS, this is all a game of luck. And BECAUSE it's not fun to hide, nobody will do it. The object of this arena game isn't to kill everyone, it's just to have fun and try to survive. If you don't, oh well, there's always next time.

[Xanmyral]

I'm surprised you two didn't just try and go for a temporary alliance to kill him. It was kind of obvious what would of happened, you two would fight and he would kill the severely weakened person from said outcome. Both of you wrote him off as harmless, which is kind of silly.

Just my outlook on this however. I approve of what TCM is doing outcome wise simply because it encourages fighting smart, as well as temporary alliances, backstabbing, and so forth instead of just attack attack attack, or taking pot shots at people near death to rack up as many points as possible. I do think points should play a larger role though, as for now they don't quite do much, and there isn't a way to earn them outside of killing people. Hopefully this will be changed as future rounds are played, and things start to shake up from the various ideas flowing around.

[scapheap]

I worked out the odds, GWG was the worst enemy for me with his flight and range, if I pull through with a little more health, superblast would of be easy picking. The dices roll against me.
