>Run up to the nearest enemy and smack them in the face with my staff, since that's the only action I can really take since I happened to get a support role in what is supposed to be a FFA game.

Turn 1

Move to the snake's food.

Move to food

>Run up to the nearest enemy and smack them in the face with my staff



Move Phase

The hunchback Nu Mou sees their adversaries arrive, a massive trampling snake, and someone riding horseback, both an equal distance from the white mage. [2] They decide to head for the one on a horse across the north bridge...

The Nomadic Trooper begins heading in the other direction, on a collision course with the massive snake... After trotting across the south bridge and through the plains they arrive at the snake's food, a large apple.

The snake is barreling towards the horseman, who holds their ground. The snake rears up and opens a round mouth with rows upon rows of teeth. A terrible vacuum bares down on the horseman. The apple is sucked up, and so is the rider.


Nomadic Trooper eliminated.



End

The plump snake digests their meal, and doubles in length. An apple falls from the sky, and lands nearby in the grass.

Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

Well, you had to be big enough to eat a horseman...imagine if one of the opponents was a battleship?

Turn 2


Devour the mage
Note: Out of range of their current location. You'll go as close as you can this turn.

retcon the snake into being undead, and jump to the side and cast that healing spell I can't be bothered to check the name of on it
Note: Out of range to use cure on their current location even after moving. You'll go as close as you can this turn.



Move Phase

The white mage shuffles towards to slithering towering terror. The creature is moving twice as fast and cuts off the Nu Mou's advance. The miserly floppy-eared magic user looks up as they are covered by shadow. With a crash all goes dark.

Nu Mou eliminated.

Snake wins!!!

Game Set - ArchimedesWojak Victory

ArchimedesWojak, choose your fate:

A. Retire from playing the snake. Choose a game on the list to increase their influence by 1.
B. Start Game 2 as the snake (there may be character adjustments, which will be made public). Total wins can be applied to game influence when you decide to retire, but get nothing if you lose.
C. Forfeit influence from this win, and start Game 2 with a random unit from a listed game of your choice.


Champion ArchimedesWojak and waitlister a1s have priority for joining Game 2. After that it is first come first serve, if there isn't room extra sign-ups will be added to the waitlist. 3 spots open.

Hmm, perhaps I gave the wrong impression. This game is not about creating fair fights. A chess queen will be superior to a chess pawn, if two players happen to get those. Nonsensical units may also be permitted. But there are some things to keep in mind:
  • I will not break-up alliances. If multiple reach 5 points there will be a tie.
  • I will probably reward for points collected even if a player is defeated. To that end, let's say eliminating a player will give 2 points.
  • Unit balance will focus on being faithful but fitting the scale and simplified gameplay of this game.

After looking at BrikWars, I've come to a decision about whether to include it or not. The answer is not. The reason? This is not a grid based game, instead relying on measurements. (looks cool, glad to learn about it)

We need 1 more player, anyone want to round off Game 2 so we can start?
