((who is that green/grey dot in the swamp?))

((That is a gray ring and it represents Damond))

There's a mage pinned down there who's a lot more dangerous than you'd think on account of his being stuck in a hole and we're trying to murder each other!

[vishdafish]

Roll for more power, using 4 +1 pot essence.

Damond, Irritated Boxer Mage:

"You're a tough one! But I've got a bit more for you!"

Damond throws a GBM boosted punch... right at the troll's soul.

[Gonchon]

using 1 +1cmp,  2 1/1 and 3 +1pt essences make myself not incompetent at communicating with other beings, talk to slime if this works.

[DAPARROT]

Fly to the swamps, directly southwest(straight line of hexes)

((Wow, thats pretty clever, never thought of that way of using your affinity.))

"I'm sorry, but this is a kill or be killed situation. If i don't kill him, i'm the one who will be killed.

Now if you mind...."
PM'd spell.

((looks over the ledge briefly))This seems sort of like you just found a mage trapped in a hole and decided to go for some easy shards. I would like to inform you now that if that is the case that it goes against the doctrine of TOAM. We have a strict no random mage murdering policy.

Rather, we support resolving conflicts peacefully when possible.

[H4zardZ1]

((By the way, if you STILL want to kill me, my spell isn't aimed at you, but at the rock you are aiming at.))

No random- Have you all forgotten the point of this place? This is LITERALLY a deathmatch between mages to collect enough shards to achieve divinity! What's the point of going pacifist? Give me a good reason and I'll leave this bastard alone.

Very well. I see you haven't thought much into what this game is yet so I'll enlighten you to what I believe to be its inner workings.

As you well know, all of the mages in this tournament come from a variety of worlds and background. All of us came and were told or informed on the basic laws in the tournament. Each mage is worth a minimum of 5 shards and 100 shards grants you immortality.

This basic knowledge has always been a fundamental part of the game and it serves to motivate mages to compete against each other. But the thing is, immortality is a powerful ability, one which not one of us even got close to achieving in our own respective worlds, despite all of us being renowned mages in our own right. What this means is that a higher force must have arranged this tournament. Here in is where the troubles start to emerge.

So far, the most powerful beings within this tournament have been the boss monsters, (bossholder, ice dragon,uber-dragon), the world's themselves, (the duck , a'tuin the turtle, and the platypus I think), and the deities. The boss monsters are of course beatable by groups of mages and higher tear beings such as the worlds. The worlds appear to be killable by extremely high tear boss monsters. I don't believe that the full power of the deities has ever truly been displayed before which leads me to believe that either a deity or an unknown being of even greater strength arranged this tournament.

If we assume that the tournament organizer is more powerful than one of the normal deities then there is then we must not pit each other against ourselves. Rather, we must strive to determine motivation of the organizer.

Gathered here on this land is the largest gathering of archmages in the history of any world. What this means is that if the tournament organizer wished it so, he or she could wipe us all out in a single swipe. Alone, we are about as powerful as a single grain of sand. With the help of more mages we can approach the power level of the mighty Gaia herself.

To put this in terms you may understand better. As a single mage your powers have a very real cap. With the help of many mages working together, this cap can be raised exponentially. With enough mages it should be possible to even create shards safely and efficiently.

So I urge you today. Spare this mage. Do not sacrifice your humanity for a power that can more easily be achieved by working with the rest of mage kind.





And if you need a final reason. No mage has ever survived any odds better than a 1v1 in recent history. Don't be so arrogant as to believe that you would be an exception.

((Typed this all on phone))

((For the record, the "tournament" was arranged by a bunch of mages who wanted to keep magical fights and such far away from anything important. Long gone now, as far as I know, but it does speak to what a large group of players could do.

Also, apparently making shards is a really bad idea. Not in and of itself, but I've heard it gets you hunted down by an avatar of reality or something like that. A shame, really, but I guess something that game-breaking was doomed from the start.))

((Avatar of Reality= final boss?))

((Also I roll for intimidation and bluff check))
((In any case, I'm too lazy to rewrite my speech))

*sigh*
You know what? Skelliborn, is it? You raise a lot of good points.
There could very well be a higher power overseeing, if not controlling, this whole business. Who's to say they'll keep their promise if someone wins?
There has to be something looking over the events taking place here. This deathmatch would be all but impossible otherwise.
Diving headlong for what is assumed to be victory could be disastrous, and there are too many unknowns.
Plus, I'm in no position to go two-against-one, or to lose my alliance with professor Jiksap.
So congratulations, Skelliborn. You've made me change my mind.
Chorkinaan approaches the crack
Hey you! I changed my mind on the whole murdering you thing! Do you accept my mercy?
