Forum Flash Games #1: Grand Warlord Voss

General GTG Events
1

So this is a proof-of-concept, really; I want to try out an idea, and since we have Around The World in 80 Plays going on now seems like as good a time as any to try it out. It is a game of forum Sentinels, but with the following rules in place:

1) No player is assigned to a particular hero/villain/environment. Instead, any player may take a turn with any hero/villain/environment.

2) You may not play two hero turns in a row (this includes those separated by villain turns). However, you may play environment and/or hero turns immediately before or after playing a hero turn.

3) To take a turn, simply place a comment calling dibs, and then edit it to add the turn in - this prevents two players typing up long turns only for one to be invalidated.

4) You may not call dibs on a turn if the previous turn has not yet been played out, to prevent people potentially dibs-ing future turns and then having to disappear.

5) Any decisions about ambiguous situations (e.g. who gets hit by damage in the case of a draw) are resolved by the player whose turn it is.

These rules are how I see this working best, but if you take issue with any of them they are up for discussion (except for 1, obviously; that would sort of defeat the point...)

Pauline stepped forward.  She could feel the nervousness sitting in her stomache.  If they were to win this fight she needed to lead, lead those she had looked up to.  She thought about her father, and what he would have done.

"The Earth will never be yours Voss!" she shouted, striking the most defiant pose she could muster, then released her power, torching the first of his minions.  She hoped she looked more confident than she felt.

It's late enough that I'm en route to bed  as soon as I post a brief report of Blade's decimation of Legacy/Ra/Unity in Atlantis, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

The hero target with the lowest HP is the Cryo Bot, which I want to get hit! And are you being cruel by not having (eg) the Soldier hit Ra? Ra would then retaliate and kill it. (The way I read Flame Barrier is he gets one retaliation against each target each turn. Is that the wrong interpretation?)

EDIT: There are two Gene-Bound that hit the lowest, so I think all but the new Firesworn will be killed.

(I have a bunch of text files containing the cards for each hero, and I use the unix program 'shuf' to reorder them whenever I need to draw.)

Ronway, there are no minions left in play after Young Legacy's turn. The cryo bot retaliation damage finished off most of them except for the one Firesworn, and then YL killed that last one. Maybe we should start giving HP summaries after each turn, not just the villain turn.
