Warlocks (Spellcaster, Waving Hands, etc)
« on: November 03, 2009, 10:01:55 am »

http://games.ravenblack.net/

This is an amazing game of bluff and strategy. Each player is a Warlock in a duel to the death, casting spells by sequences of gestures on each hand. Proffered palm, snap, point, wriggle fingers casts "Charm Person", and Point, Wriggle, Wriggle, Point, Point casts "Lightning Bolt", so you can chain them to cast both in 7 actions rather than 9 since the "point, wriggle" overlaps. And you're using both hands. And there are counterspells, and fire elementals, and cause light wounds. But you know what would make the game even better?

A larger player base. Check it out!  And remember to summon the ogre at yourself and tell it to attack your opponent, don't summon it at your opponent or he'll control it.  (spiel cribbed from maknud)

Holy cow!  I remember seeing an article about this game like ten years ago!  I wondered if it actually got turned into a playable game but how do you search for a game like that?

You're my new best friend.

I just found an online gesture analyzer that tells you what spells you can cast next turn.

Nice. I've been searching for an accessible multiplayer form of this game for some time, ever since I heard of this type of game on some site some time ago. I hope to see you people someday ingame.

EDIT: Ingame name is same as here, "Poltifar"

Weird, i cant find myself either. I'm logged in and all, its written "log out Poltifar" at the top right of the page, yet I'm not in the list of players... maybe because i still didnt join a game? I'll try to challenge you ("deleted") to a private game.

EDIT: Yeah, sending a challenge added me to the list of names on the high-score list. Now how about we play that very-friendly challenge i sent you, as an intro for me to this game? :)

Ok, accepted Cthulhu's challenge, but I'm going to have to go slow on the games I'm playing now, I've got work to do too.

EDIT: Well. My win against Winner was... weird? Did you cast ice storm on purpose as a suicide attack?

Well now, off to my homework

Just recently registered under the name of Virex. Playing a friendly practice match now against someone I don't know. Let's see how this pans out...

I didn't cast it as a suicide attack.  I just didn't realize it would bring me down to one.

And the fight isn't over, I magic mirrored your missile.

Well then, now the battle is over. It was fun, I wish you hadn't cast the ice storm mistakenly so that it would have lasted longer. Rematch maybe?

Hey, Virex, I've discovered Warlocks from this post as well!))

BTW, cool last words: Virex says "Gamoran's Big fists's! Should've directed that timestop at myself...".
