RUMBLE: Round One Resolves! Round Two Allocations Due

[saztronic]

I'm going to launch another forum Rumble -- and I'm fracking tired of the inactivity in the Games Forum, and the lack of participation from anyone other than the usual supsects. Let's gets some shit stirring.

I want to see Sunni Daez in this game, I want to see the_antisocial_hermit, I want to see DylPickle, I want to see notsure, I want to see dead users like Bran Muffin and Nick, I want to see Tom, Dick, and Harry. No claiming that it's not your bag, or you're to pussy to want in. Fuck you.

Pony your asses up, friends, because we need a little strange dis-tract-ion from our hum-drum Cantr lives. Live your love, love your life, and put your money where your mouth is.

8-1000 participants. Standard rules as found on the site below. All comers welcome, but bring your "A" game or I will taunt you until you wet your pants.

The full powers list located on the Rumble site is in play:

http://kevan.org/rumble.cgi?genre=hero&mode=viewall

The only exception to this will be powers that require rolling dice. I don't want to have to bust out a bunch of polyhedrals.

Feel free to suggest powers of your own design. Spend 10 to be deemed Rad by the Ruler (Me). Burn 15 to gain the power of death over any adversary. Spend 50 to get sexually serviced and satsifed by the celebirty of your choice. I do not care. I will be the sole arbiter of which powers are acceptable, but as you can see, broad latitude is the rule.

Once you've signed up, PM me the two powers you'd like included in the master list for this game, and off we'll go.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I promise to use my powers as a writer/literary twat, such as they are, to the fullest extent. I will amuse you and your neighbors. I will compose the beginning of a Booker Prize novel. I dare you to criticize my prosaic powers, you feckless little chumps.

P.S. west, that means you too, you Fnordian mother fucker with all the younger brothers who might be gay. You got time for this lame shit, I guar-an-tee. Bring it on.

[notsure]

Damn, I've already wet my pants...

notsure

[saztronic]

Excellent. I see you understand the gravity of the situation.

Depends and fresh clothes are over in the corner. Help yourself.

[Bowser]

I haven't the flair for words that you do, but I would like another crack at domination.

[deadboy]

Yup, I'm in

[saztronic]

That makes two players, count 'em, two. I didn't expect such an overwhelming response, by golly. Three if we count notsure, but she was kind of ambiguous, her incontinence notwithstanding.

All the rest of you. Don't make me swear at you again. Get on the bandwagon before I run you over with it.

[notsure]

Is there a "Rumble for Dummies" book somewhere?

notsure

[hEarty]

I'll bite

Rumble Rundown

So it's like this: you're going to be a superhero. Everyone who plays picks just two powers from the list in the link above and PM's them to me, and that makes a big pool of powers everyone can choose from.

Then you bid on the powers you want. You get 100 life points to bid with, and you can divvy them up however you like . Highest bidder for each power wins it.

But... you're going to need your life points later. And every power that you win, you lose that many points from your starting total. So if you bid 30 on one power and 20 on another and win 'em both, you start the game with those two powers but only 50 life points.

Then you kill each other until only one remains. You do that by spending your life points each turn on attack or defense and using your powers to slay or survive. If you go below 0 points you're dead.

And that's the basics. The trick is figuring which powers actually are powerful -- it's not always obvious -- and how they can combine to do different things to you or your enemies, and who to trust when, and all that kind of machiniational stuff.

Questions?

[Pie]

I might be in! if i don't post for more than five days though, kick me from the game, k? i've been kinda buisy with stuff lately!

[Spider]

I'm in. I want to try this, I saw a bit of the last game.

[sanchez]

Clueless and eager, I'll have a go.

[formerly known as hf]

Get a long hard eyeful of your ass saztronic.
Next time you see it, I'll be passing it to you on a plate.

Fine bone china and BBQ SAUCE
bitches

FTW

[saztronic]

That's right, friends. Game on.

PM me your two powers. No lip.

And FormerlyHF -- I admire the way you yap like a little yorkshire terrier, but you won't have the pleasure of handing me my ass unless you plan on killing the moderator. The game would be over quicker that way, but perhaps be slightly -- ever so slightly, I'll grant you -- less enjoyable.

Bring it, hipsters.
