Our combat would end only with his death! Smack Gray with all power my damaged ego could provide.

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Attack Sergeant if someone else attack him, otherwise attack the Greater Gray Frog.

Friendliness notice: I'm giving an instant game over if the ratio of players:greater_frogmen gets too far out of your favor for you to realistically win, and I think I've already made it clear that if, say, the first of six characters kills the grey frog, the other five will do nothing.

Can we add obligatory additional options to our attack if such happens?

No. Your actions are considered to be commitments, and happen at relatively the same time.

I'm killing the game, which is why sign-ups are closed.

...I'm taking this metaphysically. :P
Yeah kill the game.
We'll fight back.

Well, it seems like both of my kills so far have been from behind. Good.

disengage from the battle and spend 3 credits on armour.

Froggy Sargent
{1d2+2=2+2} - Unhindered, the giant frog continues calling for reinforcements. This time, four greater frogmen answer his call. The grey falls under a combined assault, but the remaining six greater frogmen, led by their huge sargent, quickly surround the peasants fighting against them. A general retreat is sounded, but none of [the PCs] survive.

GAME END


If anyone wants to reboot it, feel free. The idea for this was shamelessly stolen from a very similar game that ran a few years back.

This started getting repetitive to run before I added the boss, with the static situation. I don't know how to fix that, but I think letting players have different ways to fight (fight to learn, fight defensively, etc) might have helped, instead of just "stab weak enemy." More objective based battles would have helped, where players could take different roles, somewhat like my failed "guard player X" mechanic (attacking engineers or their guards, while protecting something, maybe? It would need 8 players rather than 6). I liked the idea for throwing everyone into the boss battle, but everyone was oddly reluctant to attack the boss that could fairly easily one-shot them once I disabled respawns. I should have made it slightly easier to kill.

But nobody actually followed my advice on stopping me :(
