Yeah, I noticed that, also realized there's certain screens they don't show up on and some of the links are broken. I really wish the dev team here would implement things properly in one go instead of half-implementing a ton of things, but no use grumbling I guess. I also kind of wish they'd give GMs more control over their threads, but it looks like that's been declined a few times in the past.

Team 1 (Jessica, Aarón, Roselyn, Carson): Arena 12
Team 2 (Aphrodite, Liliana, Mikhail, Azzix) (when you're ready): Arena 37


Guys, its really going to start getting confusing if we don't adhere to the places. Since these are two completely separate groups and all...

What's the current tally on targets?

By my count, the Arena 12 has 3 confirmed reds destroyed and 1 orange, along with 1 orange that we are unsure of the face of (punted across the arena).

Arena 37 has destroyed 2 oranges and 1 confirmed red, and has already woken up the snake.

@ Kesteven:

With regards to your question about Lily in Arena 37, I don't really know. Although we are in a game, I was thinking that we had to have a few downfalls, but I'm not sure how to create them, so you can be assured that Lily's life is completely in your hands. I only control what she does, not whether she survives.

Ah. That's good! Well, not to spoiler things too much but at the moment I'm not planning to kill anyone off, although if people wanted to raise the stakes that might make things more interesting, and if a character does something really hazardous I might bring it up as an option. I'm trying to create some sense of danger though, but at this point I'm trying to keep things easy so only characters who seek danger out will be put in it.

About the orbs, let's say there's a 'scoreboard' in each arena... In fact, I'll write that up IC now. And if anyone's wondering, I'm doing everything random or ambiguous with random number generators, because maths is fun! Except the time limit. That I'm just guesstimating.

What happened to Aphrodite in Arena 37? Is she dead, or just injured?

Kesteven: Would I be right if I guessed that the numbers in C would be going down as we destroyed more orbs?

Also, I left the number of reds destroyed open for you to choose, instead of automatically hitting them or waiting every post for you to decide. It should help save time.

Also, can we assume that Carson didn't break the one he accidentally tossed away?

Carson doesn't know if he broke the one he hit, but yes, C seems to go down when you smash orbs.

I wasn't really sure how to do the red orbs so every time someone wrote they smashed an orb I just added one to their count, and every time they ambiguously said they were looking for orbs to smash I added a random number.

For simplicity's sake, from now on, I'm going to assume that when a character is 'looking for orbs' that takes 5 minutes, and I'll make up a number based on that. Also note that it gets harder to find orbs the less of them there are.

And unless 4ndy5ixx decides otherwise, Aphrodite is assumed to be injured but alive.

All right, so I'm pretty sure I get A, B, and C on the scoreboard... I just can't figure out P unless it started at -10 for some reason.

I've edited my post so that I had to use my bat to smash the orb. Did the snake wake up?
My name is unimportant. I am not here. I do not exist.

Eh, the way I figured it it probably would have woken up before he managed to break the orb. But let's go with what you've got.

Ughh, I unconsciously activate my power and roll to see if it is effective against robots.

my thinking is command over disobedience could be interpreted to extend to whatever task the robot has been programmed to carry out (i.e. killing me).

I noticed Arena 37 hasn't been very active. 4ndy5ixx, I need Aphrodite to answer before Lily can react. Can we just assume that while Lily is invisible, you can still hear her talk?

I'm not sure 4ndy5ixx is following this thread, you might want to try a PM?

And it's up to you, I think having to 'decloak' to speak might be an interesting limitation but I left it ambiguous deliberately so you could choose whatever you thought would work best with your character.

Since we have two inactive members and one passed out character(mine) either Liliana should take action or the time should run out cause arena 37 has been lifeless for a while

Yeah, I've probably let this challenge drag on a bit already anyway. Let's say there's 5 or 10 minutes left on the timer - just enough time for a few more posts to wrap up, then we'll tally the scores and move on to something new.

I think we can safely assume the arena 12 people are just going to wander, hitting random reds for the rest of the time.
