((No, your math is good. I'm just questioning the long term implications of making such bets, if you know what I mean.))

[flabort]

Get me 3 beers, nonchalantly find a shadowy corner, place a bet of 3 DD on that guy in some sort of powered suit winning the next challenge

[Beirus]

((So much DO on Mason. So much pressure.))

[Hapah]

Still sellin' bullets, 3DD a shot!

Enjoy beer.

[piecewise]

Collect DD, cheer for a line of proximity mines!

Missed me for acquiring delicious deadman dollars!

8 dd then!

(Continue to) drown my disfigurement sorrows in alcohol!

You start having odd hallucinations

Mastahcheese enters the audience stands, freshly unmangled.

Get DD, and add it to my current eleven DD.  Then, Place a one-DD surival bet on every person, EXCEPT Mason who gets the rest of my DD in a survival bet.

((I've pointed it out before, but it's kind've odd that survival and death are paid equally, considering survival is more than six times as likely.))

And paris will handle your expansive, silly betting.

* Parisbre56 gets inside the bookie's booth, sighs and starts printing and handing out receipts.

@syvarris: You do realise why this is a bad idea, right?

Enter arena, collect DD, go sit in my usual spot.

Usual spot eh? I was gonna make a lewd joke about your NPC date but I'll just allude to it and let you figure it out yourself.

I can't do it. Can anyone explain?

How large is the arena? Does reaching the other side in one turn require running and rolling well?
Do the beams touch in the intersections?
Will we get advanced warning when an obstacle is incoming?

There are about 10 beams on each side so...you'd guess about 72 feet to a side.

Yes, it's like a piece of grid paper, but with metal beams instead of lines.

I dunno, maybe. Whatever is the most funny and cruel.

Fat guy xandad lost all his DD. Get new ones.

8 dd

Get me 3 beers, nonchalantly find a shadowy corner, place a bet of 3 DD on that guy in some sort of powered suit winning the next challenge

3 beers gotten, shadow found, bet made. Yay for betting on death fights from the shadows. Now you feel like a real rich man!

Still sellin' bullets, 3DD a shot!

Enjoy beer.

You enjoy beer. Mm. Beer. You are enjoying it.









Alright contestants, you may begin!

[Harry Baldman]

Move forth calmly and collectedly. Survey the area. Spy my adversaries! Make sure not to fall down on the very first turn. Sit down on a part of the grid between intersections, wrap my legs around the bar if possible.

Given the *last* time, I have no doubt that that hat is currently the most dangerous thing in the room.

BRING OUT THE LAWN DARTS!

Bet 3 tokens on BLUE!

"Fine moves, mortals! I approve!"

Slide nonchalantly into the water as per the agreement. If I'm going to die today, it better be in the grand finale!

"Right, that's over. Into the water with you."

Let Gilbert go into the water of his own accord. If he tries anything, force him into the water with an offensive charge.

ATTENTION AUDIENCE! STOP YOUR RECREATIONAL MURDER! WE HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE! Glibert has just thrown himself off the boat, leading to a Blue win! However, we still need to chose a loser to be punished. Cromwell and Navarro were the first to hit the water, but Flimsy did all of jack squat the whole time! And Gilbert just gave up! Who should be punished?

Verify winnings from this, the returns are just confused right now   (I think it's either a return of 2 or 1.5)

Also, for those of us you have vaguely volunteered for bookie duty, do you just sort of want us to start up shop at the beginning of an episode, PW?

[Parisbre56]

Since this is kind of important, who is opposite to me, on which beam are we on and am I on an intersection?
You could say we're in (3 | 5) if we're in the third intersection from the left, fifth from the bottom and (3.5 | 5) if we're somewhere between intersection 3 and 4.
I could maybe draw a small map later.

EDIT: Start walking forward slowly, shield raised, banging the shackle on the shield for intimidation. Focus on getting ready to counterattack whoever is in front of me by shoving them off the beam with the shield.

((Can I just stick with the same action I posted earlier, or do I need to repost it?))

Eat a painkiller. I think that's all that's keeping me going at this point.

Hide behind the new guy with the shield.

Gonna stick with this action.

Also, duck if I see reasons to duck. Or if I see other people duck.
And jump if I should jump.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

I don't think a shield is going to help you when you get clothslined by a steel pole with a angry badger at the end, just saying.

[flabort]

Yup. Nobody's getting ready to duck or jump. I like the badger comment in particular.

[Toaster]

"Let's kill these a-holes!"


Inch forward a bit and get a good defensive position.  See if my robot hand can lock a grip on a bar.
