lol, you wouldn't want MAIM. The thing would do nothing but troll you all day. :3

Nope not MAIM, but if it was like Deja from The Fall of Reach then I would take it.

This looks like an interesting round. Been enjoying this a good bit. I'm looking forward to the next round when I get to play.

I have a suggestion for a slight improvement to the game in general though. Please note, I'm not criticizing (well maybe I am, but not in a negative way) and I'm not demanding my idea be used. I just noticed something I think could be addressed and am pointing it out with a possible solution attached.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was noticed that it seems to me that generally Team Failure has one major advantage over Team Success. TF seems to always have at least one game winning goal to work toward: "killing the protagonist." TS doesn't always have an obvious and well defined game winning goal like that. Plus, TF can achieve their success pretty easily by the end despite at the time losing in points.

So I wanted to propose an idea for this. First off, state a clear unarguable win condition for TS. Kind of like the evil scientist conquering the world. The dragon seemed to not have a clear win condition, he had a goal but nothing to say when said goal would ultimately be achieved.

Secondly, I think the points the teams have accumulated should effect a couple things. My idea is that a team can't achieve a game winning goal unless they are currently in the lead by a certain number of points (like 10 or so). Think of it as tennis's advantage point system, a player can't win a game without a couple point lead on the other. This way if TS has 50 points and TF has 25 points then TF cannot kill the protagonist off and win despite having a low scoring game.

I mostly thought of this due to the fact it seems the point system has been not important so far. I don't think a single team has won due to the point system yet. I think using the point system in this way will make more tension, as it is more important to keep your team's score higher than the other team's.

I know doing this will make it harder for TF to win and that I will be on TF next round, but where's the fun if winning is easy right?  Plus, it might also have the side effect of rounds lasting longer due to the fact the teams will not be able to win at anytime.

Hearing the announcement over the radio about the incoming missiles that are about to turn the U.S into beaten glass Hacker-MAIM (honestly any peace loving citizen hearing about "Hacker-MAIM" would run away just at the name.) quickly uses his phone and the expensive machine that goes 'ping' at the hospital in order to disable the launch capabilities of both sides and avert WWIII!

Umm...

The missiles are in flight. If Russia's missile launching capability is removed now, the missiles will still hit the US. Just saying.

Nah, dude, you're completely right. Rounds 2, 3, and 4 didn't have as much of a clear winning goal whereas Round 1 did, and, uh... well, the results speak for themselves. I kind of had it in my head for Round 2 that TS's goal was keeping Kel alive for the whole years since DF is pretty dangerous but I never stated it and honestly TF could still have won by ruining his life without killing him. :\ I realized that myself which is why I was pretty happy with Theo's suggestion; MAIM's Success goal is to be recognized as a living entity much like an adult human and get laws passed recognizing it as such.

I do like the scoring idea. I did rewrite the rules to make the point system a little more valid, but I think I'll implement that suggestion into the next round. ^^^

@Everyone else: Any other constructive criticism? This RTD has yet to be perfected, and any good suggestions now mean better games in the future. :3

nah its good as for the turn:

cheat at online poker to make millions of dollars and use the money to buy warehouses around the city

And miraculously hack the missiles midflight. That too.

The bitter, uncaring, unsympathetic A.I. does nothing to help the United States in it's time of need, dashing any hope the A.I. might of had of being granted personhood in the United States, and probably Russia for that matter.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Ah, OK, because I looked it up and the closest thing I could find were Russian cruise missiles that used a particular flight pattern... ^^^;

[micelus]

On the other hand, it does help Australia and China stop any war or trouble from breaking out by getting them to stop the missiles and any animosity.

[LAAT501legion]

I have a question,is there a slot open in team success the next round? If so,I would like to play.
If not, I would like to be in round 7 as team failure.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Yes, there is. :3 D'you want to be in both or just R6? Regardless, you're in for Round 6 now. ^^^

[UltraValican]

Posting to watch. I want to be on team failure next round.

[Firelordsky]

Troll MAIM completely oblivious to WW3 starts a Youtube account that is dedicated to converting people to become trolls and unfortunately he gets traced to his human self and Human MAIM gets beat-up whenever people see him.

[Elmach]

...

Wow, 50% of the players so far are dealing with WWIII. And lots of reactions are contradictory. Who is countering who? I can't tell...

Also, it might not be obvious, but I did

The US government blames the World War on MAIM. The Russians believe them.

Just in case this is unnoticeable because I didn't bold it.
