Woag, bless RNGesus I guess.

Imma get a screwdriver and a shot of King Louie the 14th (ridiculously expensive cognac, amazing stuff, says John Schnadder.)

[FallacyofUrist]

You head to the bar and grab your extremely expensive cognac and your screwdriver. It's as amazing as it sounds. Let's hope you don't get drunk.

Null grabs another whiteboard and starts scribbling on it with his sword.

"Alright, next is the Relay Race! You're going to be competing to get your team's ball to the end of an obstacle course!"

The second minigame is Relay Race. The players are divided into two teams of equal players, and will compete to get a ball to the end of the race first. Each player keeps the ball for a certain section of the race, determined in advance by their team. The winning team’s players(the team that gets their ball to the end first) receive bonuses of 10 Carnival Points apiece. If there is an odd number of players, one player will be selected and will not participate in Relay Race. The non-participating player may place a bet on which team will win, and if they call it right, they will gain 10 Carnival Points. If a player dies during the Relay Race, they will respawn after a turn at the beginning of their current section. They will not keep their items and will need to retrieve them. Each team member will possess a psychic sense of where their team’s ball is at all times.

"Silthuri and Tiruin will face off against kingawsume and The Moonlit Shadow! notquitethere will be sitting out, but he can make a bet and possibly influence the game as well..."

"Let's go over the sections! First we have New York City! Players will need to navigate the twisted streets of New York City to collect two of seven keys hidden around the city! Those two keys will unlock a hidden door in the 32nd floor of the Empire State Building! Each player will receive a 10 thousand dollar prepaid credit card to make things easier!

Next is Mount Everest! Players will compete to climb to the top of Mount Everest! Equipment and minions will be provided.

Third is the Tomb of Lesser Horrors, a four-level dungeon designed by yours truly, full of traps and loot and monsters! At the bottom is the portal to the final stage...

the Cross-Country Road Trip! Be the first to get from New York to Sacramento in an America rather different from the one you know..."

"Now you get to decide who will handle what section! Toodles!"

[notquitethere]

I'm going to bet on team Tiruin/Silthuri.

[FallacyofUrist]

So, how big is this ball?

Think soccer ball.

And Rockeater's still dead, huh?

Yup.

[Tiruin]

>_> One thing I'm perplexed with, is when these minigames are announced...there seems to be 0 follow up information. Like I have 0 PMs. 0 Idea what to act on.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yo Sil, I'm going to be a support unit because I HAD NO IDEA THAT I GOT MORE CARNIVAL POINTS BECAUSE OF WHAT I DID.

I have 0 idea if anything we get in a certain stage is carried over, so I'm pushing ALL THE CHOICES OF WHO GOES WHERE to you :3

Because if you won't post, I'ma suggest this:
New York City: Tiruin
Mount Everest: Silthuri
Tomb of Lesser Horrors: Tiruin
Cross-Country Road Trip: Silthuri

[Silthuri]

I'm fine with that course of action Tiru.
Plz no make me lead am not best leader :v
Jolly cooperation sounds much better!

[FallacyofUrist]

>_> One thing I'm perplexed with, is when these minigames are announced...there seems to be 0 follow up information. Like I have 0 PMs. 0 Idea what to act on.

Hm. Would it be a good idea to notify everyone when a new minigame pops up?

It'd be a good idea to speed this up so I can get back to lynching people
But nah, seriousness present--I'm personally okay with this (just that it'd help because I'm afraid of others not being active). But it seems the board is in its hibernation at the moment so...yeah.

Hide out in the Tomb of Lesser Horrors and jump out and say "boo!" at Moonlit or Kinga when they come in.

[kingawsume]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sure thing mate. NYC never sleeps, and the I've gone cross-country before.

[FallacyofUrist]

"Excellent! Now that you've agreed on who will handle what... let's get started!"

A flash of purple light.

Turn 0: Wakey Wakey

Spoiler: Team Tiruin/Silthuri Only (click to show/hide)

Tiruin wakes up in a Starbucks coffeeshop, holding a white chocolate mocha, still hot. Her axe of doom is strapped to her back, and while people are glancing at it and taking pictures, they don't seem to be calling the cops or anything. Probably think it's some sort of cosplay or something. This is, after all, New York City.

That theory fits with the blood red and mildly spiky soccer ball sized ball on her table.

In Tiruin's pocket, she notes the ten thousand dollar prepaid card. Excellent. Hopefully the cabs will take it.

Now where in New York City would Null hide a key? Some place important, perhaps?

Spoiler: Team kingawsume/The Moonlit Shadow Only (click to show/hide)

kingawsume wakes up in a McDonalds, holding a Big Mac burger in mid-bite. Putting it down, he notes a bright blue soccer-ball sized ball on his table. Furthermore, as Null promised, he has a ten thousand dollar prepaid card in his pocket, along with his black vial of mystery weapon poison.

Well then. Where would Null hide a key in New York City? Maybe somewhere important?

((Notes: team members can communicate via telepathy, in case you want to trade strategic tactics. Notquitethere as a spectator can view either team's spoilers, though he's only allowed to send advice to the team he bet on if he refrains from viewing the other team's spoilers. If key-finding takes too long, Null will hand out hints to both players.))

[Tiruin]

Spoiler: As someone who has 0 idea of New York City and what it is... (click to show/hide)

Time to go shopping! Also LISTING MY PLANS DOWN BECAUSE I WANT THIS DON KWIK :B

> Invest part of that money (Let the roll decide :V) into stuff that me and my team can use later on--like probably exponential funding that we can access for later.
> Part of that money for transportation around the place. Gotta move out quickly!
> Get to the Police Station and inquire if they saw this strange person hiding keys anywhere as my first action. Oh also report a crime about [this person matching kingawsume's description] being a [crime that they'll persecute within reason].
> Moneys to newspaper advertising! Have people seen [this key described by Null], please call [this one utilitarian phone I bought because I've no idea how much phones are in dollars]
> BUT FIRST, COSPLAY TIME! Announce my quest (seriously not saying key details, pun intended), in a way that means 'I'm in the search for the vorpal easter bunny, his name is Null. If anyone can help me, they will be rewarded.'
< Arrange in any order you see fit.

Edit because I want to fit everything in there :I andtypos.

Head to city hall and inquire about anything mysterious happening. After I grab my ball.

[FallacyofUrist]

Turn 1: The Quest for the Keys Begins!

Spoiler: Team Tiruin/Silthuri Only (click to show/hide)

Tiruin finishes her mocha, stands up, and shouts her quest to the heavens! "I seek Null Nevermore, hider of mysterious objects! Any who would aid me shall be rewarded!"

Luck!(9)

"Null? Did you say Null?"

Tiruin turns to face a youth, face lit in recognition.

"Huh. I saw a guy calling himself Null, waving around a big sword. He took a cab. I think I heard him say he wanted to go to the Municipal Archives?"

Well that helps. You pay for the kid's meal, and set out.

Cab!(6)

Your big axe helps attract the attention of a cab. And they take credit cards. You make use of it and set off towards... your pick.

Spoiler: Team kingawsume/The Moonlit Shadow Only (click to show/hide)

You finish your burger, grab your ball, and head out.

Cab!(2)

You have... difficulty hailing a cab. No matter. You have legs!

Walking!(

Your legs take you where you need to go. City Hall! It takes you a bit, but you get there.

Inquiry!(2)

The receptionist doesn't seem to know what you're talking about. Actually, she seems to think you're crazy and is on the verge of calling security.

[kingawsume]

Begone bad RNG!

Spoiler: Is it a spoiler if you're supposed to look? (click to show/hide)

Act offended at her body language, and talk about all my friends that are rich and powerful (but don't really exist, ex. Jay Gatsby) in an attempt to intimidate her. Throw in an Italian accent, if I haves 'ta. If that doesn't work, head to Ellis Island and see what's up at Lady Liberty.
