OH GOD THE FLAVORBLEED

... Carry on >_>

[MagmaDeath]

MagmaDeath: Assuming you were town, how much of an advantage would you have to have over a cabal mage to consider volunteering for the ring?

Well, I don't think I would have too much of an advantage, Their stat boosts seem to give them a pretty large advantage to start with,.
I'm going to stick Org And ExKirby out there, since Org always lurks a ton, and ExKirby is just ExKirby...

[MagmaDeath]

Argh.
I always screw up the forum Color code.

[rickvoid]

Good day, fellow Wizards!  Since my reign of terror has come to an end (see Wizard Dual 1), I have lain down my dark ways and hope to work with my fellow mages to rid the tower of this new batch of Cabal!

That being said, I do not believe I have played a game with MagmaDeath, Halmie, rickvoid, or RandomNumberGenerator, so where better to start the day 1 inquiries!

MagmaDeath: Assuming you were town, how much of an advantage would you have to have over a cabal mage to consider volunteering for the ring?

Halmie: If you are unsure of the alignment of either mage in a dual, which attribute do you believe would help the tower (as a whole) the most to assist with?  (Assume you are not allowed to No Assist)

rickvoid: What is your opinon of random voting (as demonstrated by RNG & Halmie before I had a chance to finish this message)?

RandomNumberGenerator: Assuming you (as vanilla tower), another tower mage (also vanilla), and a known cabal member (chocolate, as it were) were the only three mages left, which two would you vote into the ring?  (And why?)

Side note:  BE ACTIVE!  (Or I shall do everything in my power to smite thee!)

Good morning all. Just woke up.

I'm going to use the RVS for two purposes. The first is to get the Lurkers in here. Org, that's you. Don't make this an eternal vote.

The second is to prod people for questions.  For example, PrinnyBaal, while I enjoyed reading your flavor text, it was distracting. We should worry less right now about keeping ourselves out of the ring, and more about getting scum into the ring, eh?

rickvoid, explain your username. Does it have something to do with an impenetrable black darkness, or is it a permeable black darkness? And what's with the rick attached to it?

Rick Void was the name of a character I was using for a short lived series of short stories I was writing. Couldn't put him in anything awesome, but I loved the name. I use it for everything now.

Just so everybody knows, I'll be watching the thread at work, on the phone. I may post, but I can't access BBCode, and I don't have brackets on my phone, so I can't type it out there. I should only be off for about seven hours, and then my hunt shall resume.

"If anyone can tell me why I wouldn't want to see Org and ExKirby in the ring, I should like to know."

[Org]

"If anyone can tell me why I wouldn't want to see Org and ExKirby in the ring, I should like to know."

God damnit guys I was sleeping. I cant post while Im sleeping.

[Org]

Votecount before I say anything else!

[rickvoid]

Post some bloody content and I'll happily unvote you.

And Panda, if two other had done scummy things, I'd want them in the ring instead. As this is not yet the case, I would be comfortable with that.

Org, FFS, there's only two or three votes on you if I recall corectly, calm down.

[ExKirby]

We can't argue with tradition, so I'm going to, if I'm allowed, Double-Vote myself. If not, one on me and one on Org.

[Org]

I need the votecount before I say anything though

[PrinnyBaal]

A quick glance gives us;

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Kirb- Neruz, Jim, Magma, Panda
Panda- Neruz
Org- Halmie, Frelock, Magma, Rickvoid, Panda
Janus- Halmie
MagmaDeath- RNG
RedWarrior- RNG
rickvoid- Jim
Prinny- Frelock, Rick Void

That, thus far. Now for some sleep-depravity based ravings.

Yea, I realized someone would inevitably object to the RP block- I can summarize next time. I just wanted to get a little flavor going first in my head before I returned the fluff to Meph, so I figured- I wrote it up getting my head working, may as well post it. The last little bit was a PPE, but that's nothing new. Aside from that, it's really not that unusual. TBH, I love doing whole rounds in RP, but I'm always dissatisfied with any post I make that way, so I suppose I'll avoid actually doing it. If people don't mind though, perhaps I could make a "Flavor" spoiler for each post, and then just leave the main post as an actual standard post.

Meh.

As far as silly RVP votes go, I'm totally going to go ahead and give Halmie a random prod, and... hmmm, no one else- guess I'll just prod the Random Number Godenerator while I'm at it, to give him a little vote based love.

Nothings going on so... TIME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS NOT AIMED AT ME!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1: Assuming you were town, how much of an advantage would you have to have over a cabal mage to consider volunteering for the ring?

2: If you are unsure of the alignment of either mage in a dual, which attribute do you believe would help the tower (as a whole) the most to assist with?  (Assume you are not allowed to No Assist)

3: What is your opinon of random voting (as demonstrated by RNG & Halmie before I had a chance to finish this message)?

4: Assuming you (as vanilla tower), another tower mage (also vanilla), and a known cabal member (chocolate, as it were) were the only three mages left, which two would you vote into the ring?  (And why?)

1: Given the fact that the side-action based incapacitation still applies, even if one partakes in a duel, I'd have to say it's more situational; If I have a battle advantage, and it's either needed to take out either a: confirmed Cabal late game, or b: take out a powerful cabal role, then I would definitely be willing, of course, in those cases I would have to find a way to force myself into the ring, so... really it depends. If I thought I could be sneaky about it, I might try and avoid claiming, but in those situations, I feel it's generally always better to go ahead and just claim if it's needed. Perhaps that's just me.

2: Healing; assuming my understanding of speed is correct ((With bonus attacks and additional defense/attack boosts for superior general boosting if sufficiently high, iirc)) then again, I doubt an Earth based speed boost would do all that much if rounding works, right?

3: Yes and no. I'm used to it tbh, many places use it as a method for trying to get a reaction from someone, but against anyone who's played the game or watched enough to recognize it, they'll be aware what it is, and rarely, if ever react to it.

4: Other tower mage. I appreciate all the "bravado" and all that about being a generally good guy, but the probabilities are the same in either flip, except I have two chances to live in the case I throw them in, and remember; the goal is to win the entire tournament; regardless of the team goal. That said, keep in mind that's assuming a case that's rather bad for the Tower to start with, but still- I wouldn't bother sugar-coating that sort of fact.

[RandomNumberGenerator]

"They're both vanilla, they have no powers- Do you want to throw in another first, or yourself first? It's a rather simple theoretical question isn't it? And fire is rather simple- there's far interesting combinations, besides, isn't Magma both Earth and fire?"

Oh, well if that's the case, I would throw the other guy in the ring. It's simple logic; the survivor of the fight will not have full health at the end, and it increases my chances of winning if he fights before I do.

[rickvoid]

Unvote Org as Org is now posting. If he continues to post nothing of content, my vote on him will return.

And yipee! I found the brackets, so I can now vote and unvote from my phone. Still can't see color, so no idea when someone else has voted though.

Holding my vote in reserve for now.

[ExKirby]

Prinny, you forgot my votes.

[RandomNumberGenerator]

Unvote All

We can't argue with tradition, so I'm going to, if I'm allowed, Double-Vote myself. If not, one on me and one on Org.

While you've done this before, I'm wondering why you're so eager to get into the ring. Are you a battleage perhaps? Or do you have a bonus to your abilities, fueled by black magic? Either way, I think that ExKirby should be one of the first combatants, so we know where he's standing...

Yea, I realized someone would inevitably object to the RP block- I can summarize next time.

I actually enjoy RP quite a bit, but I feel that this is neither the time nor the place to do this. Not while the Dark Cabal are standing among oursel- oh look, there I go doing it. Either way, try to limit yourself in the future so everyone understand what you're saying, PrinnyBaal.
