Making humanity kill itself is as easy as hacking a nuke and launching it. Boom, no more humans.
OR starting a war. It'll be longer, but then, easier to wipe things out. Make one side win, the other launches nukes
OR kill the president or Chairman Mau for
OR start a doomsday cult.
OR use CFC's and kill the Ozone Layer (Most Lulzy)
We have the infinitely harder task of uniting

Can I have a few bonuses or something? It looks like it's me vs. Xantalos vs. Everyone else. I have a feeling that might be somewhat one-sided.
I'd rather wait til you guys are actually on the planet before doing anything like that. It's just simple speculation and planning (that may or may not hold up) until then.
That said, Taom has some of the most versatile and powerful abilities of out of all the Chosen Ones thus far. If you're smart about your actions, you could still prove to be more than a match for any alliance.

Point: Humanity should be a threat to our existence, annihlation or unification. Unification, some people are going to get rather offended at you attempting to take away their power. Annihlation... well, yeah. Either way, they are going to be quite the enemy.

So to confirm
It's a me from a previous time, not a slightly alternate reality version?
Correct. Though considering there's a good chance that at least a couple other versions of yourself are also fond of adventuring across time and dimensions, I guess running into a Moderator from an alternate reality isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility, either.

What's with the "time remaining" at the bottom of the posts? Do we have to get this done in a day equivalent?
Quote from: For those interested in: Turn Progression
The length of time covered by one full "turn" may increase as events grow in scale. But for now, I think a single day's time should work fine. Once the trial begins, a set time of 24 hours will start to count down as Chosen Ones work through their desired actions. Time can advance anywhere from a split second to the entire 24 hour time period, depending on how long it is estimated said actions will take. Now of course, everyone's actions may not always finish at the same time. So if you aren't included in an update post, it just means your action(s) aren't yet completed and nothing of note has taken place.
Quote from: For those interested in: Turn Progression
Once the 24 hours is up, I'll write a flavorful and informative recap of everything that went down, along with info about things such as relationships, acquired items, health status, all that good stuff. The timer will then be reset, and the next turn can commence.

Anyway, just a note to all participants:
If you ever expect to be absent for an extended period of time, please let me know. Not only will this prevent unnecessary waiting for everyone else, but I may also be able to work something out for your character so that they're not just awkwardly standing around the entire time you're away.

Name: Super Dave
Sex: Male
Age: 25 ((using show premiere date :D))
Description: Super Dave Osbourne is a man with brown hair and a white stunt suit (complete with an american stripe on the chest and stars), with a similarly striped-and-starred stunt helmet with SD written in red letters on the side, or a simple white baseball cap with the same SD on it. He is a semi-famous TV personality, although his stunts almost always end up in flagrant disaster.
Origin: Super Dave Osbourne had just been a stuntman on Earth, with the most incredible, crazy, and spectacularly failed stunts around. Somehow though, though these stunts brutally injured him, he never died- it seems that by normal means, Super Dave can't be killed (although the number of TV-watchers on Earth who noticed this were minimal, strangely). Through these stunts, he amassed an amount of fame before being flung straight into a different universe by one of his usual stunts gone awry. He was assumed dead, although he was actually tied up in the adventures of King DZA.
Traits:
Super Dave is strangely nigh unkillable (by conventional means), as a stuntman he's extraordinarily daring but also incredibly reckless. He has... quite a bit of an imagination, as the stunts he does are, to put it briefly, strange. He's got an incredible bad luck.

I guess starting Jorn in a graveyard would make things too easy? Because that's the first thing I'll need. A base and zombie meat shields.
Funny thing, Jorn is actually the only Chosen One I'm having trouble thinking of a starting location for. A good starting point should give the Chosen One options, without necessarily being easy. So yeah, graveyards are likely ruled out.

No need to apologize. In all honesty, I usually stop waiting for responses after a day or so, so you haven't been responsible for any recent slowness in updates.
With the way the game works, it makes it entirely possible for participants to go inactive for a time without any major consequences (so long as you're not locked in a life or death battle or something like that). Hell, I've been assuming that The Moderator's flight to Canada is simply taking unexpectedly long due to Kestrel being away for the week.
If you really want to resign, I can have Taom be eliminated from the trial. But I personally have no problem with him going dormant for a while so that he can reemerge later when you have more time to keep up with things.
@Powder Miner
All set. Please enjoy the soothing ambiance of the aetheric fog until your time to participate in the trial arrives.
Speaking of which, I'll be allowing two more Chosen Ones to join the others on Earth at the end of the current turn, and maybe more at the end of the next turn, if I feel I can handle it without having things slow down too much.

How does magic work is the question I guess.
Well, seeing as it's black magic, a particular flavor of magical art different from that of divine miracles (which require the favor of a deity) or masterful wizardry (which requires mana), it only makes sense that the ways of invoking it would be different as well.
Jorn's magical abilities will rely on ritual. Incantations, symbols, offerings, that sort of stuff. For example, while an ancient chant or sequence of arcane gestures alone may be enough for more minor sinister shenanigans, spells of a higher tier might require painstakingly intricate magic circles, or even blood sacrifices. It's gonna take a little more than time before you go unleashing the forces of hell upon the Earth.
That said, the exact limits of what Jorn can do with his skills in the dark arts depends largely on how creative you can get with them.

Name: Samuel Drake
Age: 73
(MALE)
Description: An old man with a steel-grey beard and a bald head. One empty socket where an eye is supposed to be, the other blue and bloodshot. Black leather jacket with dark brown/black cargo pants. Black work boots. Left hand is missing the middle and little fingers (gun misfire).
Origin: Samuel was born with only one eye, which along with his eternally bald head did little to earn him friends. Samuel was a loner until he turned seventeen, when he fell into the company of a local gang of thugs, where he discovered a talent for intimidation and carefully controlled violence. Samuel moved up in the world until he became the top enforcer for the most powerful crime syndicate in the city. He continued his work until his seventieth birthday, when a routine job ended in the deaths of two teens. Three years later he was called back in by his former boss. One last tough job. The men sent out to a certain job had disappeared and the boss needed someone to go find out what happened and finish the job. Samuel accepted and followed the trail of the missing enforcers to a small townhouse in the country. Inside he was confronted with a horrible image; the enforcers all ripped apart and strewn about the room. As Samuel crossed the threshold he felt a wrenching motion in his body as a ball of light rose in the centre of the room. The light moved outwards in ring and Samuel, still agile even in old age dove over it. The light dissipated against the walls and he was pulled into the nothingness which was left where the ball had been.
Traits: Hardened Criminal. Determined/Stubborn. Intimidating. Skilled in hand to hand combat. Missing one eye (poor depth perception). Agile. Proficient with variety of submachine guns and handguns. Dexterity impaired (left hand).
Post by: King DZA on October 11, 2012, 06:45:10 am
The missing eye and impaired hand don't need to be listed as traits; they'll be noted under his physical status. Hardened Criminal, determined/stubborn (perhaps steadfast would be the word you're looking for?), intimidating, skilled in hand to hand combat, agile, and submachine gun/handgun proficiency are all valid traits, but the cap for starting traits is five, putting you one over the limit.

Post by: Gamerlord on October 11, 2012, 07:27:06 am
Most of it seems to be in order. I just need to know which eye is the missing one, and ask that you lessen the amount of traits Samuel has.

Right eye. And I guess I can get rid of submachine gun/handgun proficiency. Just make hand to hand combat skill be melee combat skill.

Said challenge will also be used to introduce some entirely new and exciting elements of gameplay to this adventure, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that unfolds.

The moderator could be scary if he decided to betray us. Give the Americans laser tech. Give the Russians laser tech. Watch the fireworks. And then the aliens come.
There is a lot scarier stuff than lasers inside the Moderators' Batcave...

Where did you get the idea for his character from? Or is he an existing character somewhere?
I got the idea in Cadets, telling stories of an interdimensional ninja guy. That idea evolved into The Moderator.
You may find the idea done before somewhere. I haven't seen it.

TorZon should be finished assimilating the woman, eating through each cold chamber, and absorbing any corpses it finds by 14:00.I feel pretty bad about you guys having to wait so long. When I first started this, I honestly didn't expect that the timeframes of players' actions would vary so much. At least not this early.
I keep trying to think of some way to deal with the absurd waiting times between actions for some players, without sacrificing the level of detail that the game currently allows. As I'd really like to see Zan make it to Black Maple and The Moderator reach his base sometime before next year.

As for GUNINANRUNIN, I remember that last time he disappeared for a bit, it was due to internet issues. So I'm wondering if something similar happened again. Of course, he's at a spot now where it wouldn't be too hard for him to jump right back in whenever he ends up returning, so time advancing in his absence isn't much of a problem.

Also, a Nano-fiber best wouldn't take this long to make, IMO.
Post by: King DZA on December 23, 2012, 09:14:05 am
Maybe do a YaK style time malleability? I remember Karas ended the game before he heard the King died.
Can you elaborate? I admittedly haven't ever looked much into You are King. The only thing I really know about it is that it constantly tricks me into thinking that someone has made a forum game based around me.
Also, a Nano-fiber best wouldn't take this long to make, IMO.
Really? It hasn't even been an hour since The Moderator started working on it. Sewing/clothesmaking isn't exactly one of my areas of expertise, so I could very possibly be wrong, But I guessed that crafting a full-sized vest would take a little longer than that.
Post by: Kestrel_6 on December 23, 2012, 12:31:45 pm

The rate the dragon was flying would've taken till 1:00 to arrive, but I just sped things up.
So in YaK, travel is instantaneous, but it is acted like x amount of time has passed. Or slower burn stories carry on while the main thing went forwards. So me and another PC were looking at a warehouse, while Ardas offed the king.
And I'd say around two hours making a nano-fiber vest, given its basically a shirt made of nanotubes.

The problem with that comes from how turns are measured in this game; if someone embarked on a six hour trek across the land while everyone else was busy having a conversation or something, it would be a bit odd and unfair to have them suddenly lose six hours of the turn on an action that should've taken less than five minutes.

It would only be in one or two suits, since it can't be thinned, and I could unsummon it at any time. If you put it in a critical point, I could make the entire armor fall apart if they tried to use it against us.
Sir Havel ... yes, he does have two or more kid followers, I've killed two people, or 1.5 if you count the baby as a .5, and you have summoned a damn cool demon.
No dragon, but we do have multiple dwarves, a few hawks, and an underground base in Californian mountains (hopefully the Sierra Nevada. It would be impossible for Torzon and them to get in besides the front gate!).

And what will Jorn do? It sounds like that old man could give him some assistance if he has trouble controlling the demon.

Sir Havel, who is arguably the most righteous Chosen One in the whole group, is responsible for committing the most crimes since the beginning of the trial thus far; his list of crimes includes three counts of murder, trespassing, breaking & entering, and child abduction.
EDIT: Just to clarify, the demon has two hooves (and by extension, two legs) three eyes, and four arms, with four talons on each hand.

1 Retrieve TRO (Technical Read-Out) of either and FTL Drive, or a Fusion power-plant/engine
2 break it into ~200 parts (One for each country)
3 Force co-operation, no matter race or religion, into working together to get into space.
Or
1 Distribute laser rifles to Japan
2 Distribute laser rifles to china
As expected, they will go at each other (China and Japan have always been possessed of a certain... Hatred, Emphasized by Unit 731 and Nanking, to say the most modern examples), and revealing of Laser Weapons by Humanity triggers alien invasion from certain... Agents within society at large.
Humanity then has to unite, or be crushed under alien forces.
Given Humanity's wish for warfare, and given a true threat to unite under, Humanity will stand together, in their finest hour against aliens. Epic pwnage results.
Also, contact a certain man with a fetish for hiding his face by light, to assemble the council of nations. Therefore XCOM is formed, and I invite all my peeps.
There is also a possible Extermination plan, which I am surprised no-one has thought of.
Launch Nuke from USA. In response, China and Russia launch nukes, thus creating fallout. Aliens will then sweep in, and eliminate stragglers. New alien colony formed, and presto, godhood.
Any other plans planned by my other Chosen Ones?

Taom has been keeping busy doing simple work around the hotel in exchange for a place to stay. Or something along those lines. That way you'll at least be set up with a small Base of Operations, and maybe even be on good terms with other hotel residents.
Blood sacrifice guy here. Not that I would ever use humans...really.
That's a shame. I hear that the blood of young virgins makes for some pretty potent rituals.

Well the boggart did obtain an assortment of books...I don't see why one of them couldn't happen to be some sort of notebook. Of course, you'd still need to find something to write with, but the idea is sound.

I should make clear that said utensil is similar to a quill; it doesn't contain any ink (or other writing substances) of its own. Though I guess that won't be much of an issue as long as Jorn doesn't mind writing everything down in his own blood.

You can all put your worried minds at ease, for I am still around and perfectly alright.

Can I have a situational teleporting power? I would have to know the coordinates of the area I was opening the portal to, as well as some sort of image of the location. The portal would last for an hour or so, and would be able to be closed sooner. Anyone could pass through it, friend or foe; the size of the opening is somewhat irrelevant to me. The portal would take about 15 min to open.
Everyone else seems to have a way to get around.

I could see Taom being able to open some kind of portal if he focused enough "pure energy" on such a task; how long it takes to create, how long it lasts, and how big it is could be determined by how much of said energy is put into it.
Except me.
Don't worry, I'm sure that at some point you'll have your own means of super fast transportation, too. Considering you all have a whole world of humans to unite/exterminate, it almost seems a like an inevitability that every Chosen One will get one sooner or later.

Quote from: Notes
-I'll be the first to admit that consistency isn't one of my strong points. My schedule is sporadic, and unexpected occurrences popping up are not uncommon, so time between updates may vary greatly. However, what I lack in consistency, I make up for in dedication, as I cannot stand the thought of leaving a story of mine unfinished. In other words, no matter how long it takes, I fully intend to run this from start to finish.
Of course it's not dead, I've just been tied up with other matters (such as getting my new Base of Operations set up) lately is all. Next update will be done soon enough. The game's speed shouldn't be as sluggish once I have everything sorted out and get completely settled. Til then, apologies for the wait.

At the rate I'm posting I probably make up 50% of the posts in this thread.
I read through the entire thing again and I do think that it's going to be difficult to escape the Canadians even after Zanzetkuken and Present Moderator escape, because they'll be looking for you. Unless you plan to erase their memory or something.

I'm waiting for something right?
Just got to wait until we reach a point where a fair chunk of time can pass (around 15-30 minutes) before I post some results for Havel.
I can't wait until I get back in the loop.
I'm planning to post Taom's results along with Sir Havel's, so you (hopefully) shouldn't have to wait that much longer. Also nice to see that you haven't completely forgotten about the game due to all the waiting.

Also, Xantalos, the issue with the Vendigroth Device is that it is almost unreadable. And if he turns it on, he gets migraines for a day. But it would be interesting to see that would happen to TorZon.

Since he already is a borderline case of psycho, he could be ruthless.
But to Exterminate, either A) Rig up Elerium Bomb. Detonate.
B) Stage multiple attacks on world governments. Chaos ensues.
C) enter nuke silo, launch missile
D) Fly high as the world disappears in nuclear fire.

On another note, I find it highly amusing how most of the people aiming for Unification have some master Extermination plan(s) stored away that they could "Totally pull off at any time...if they felt like it." Yet are still somewhat unsure of exactly how they're going to unify the planet. The second chapter of Slaves to DZA might end up starting much sooner than expected, considering how easily this trial could apparently turn into a brief game of 'who can take out the biggest chunk of mankind'.

Not a bad theme. Consider it changed.
I already have a Master Unification Plan. Either:
Break Rule 1 (No sharing of Tech with any race), break up a Fusion Engine (Standard, XL will be too much for this) into parts for every country, and make them work together to get into space. After that, give them any kind of FTL drive, make them work together for that too. Bam.
Or I could Redirect Cla'th Coalition (XCOM aliens) to attack Earth early, thus forcing Humanity's hand.
I will probably try and do a Moderator-game tomorrow.

Me and Xant will have our moments as well, once everyone else finishes theirs.
There does seem to be a common pattern of one or two Chosen Ones getting to bask in the limelight for a few pages while everyone else sorta sits back and waits (Hisir during his prison break, Sir Havel with the investigation leading up to his teenage tentacle girl battle, ect.). Hopefully this will level out a bit more once we reach the point where everyone starts posting larger-scale actions, but I'm betting you two (and everyone else, for that matter) will more than likely get at least a few such moments before the game gets that far.
Remind me what my backup extermination plan was?
I have a demonbirdthing now. I should do something impressive. Any suggestions?
Summon more, killmaimburn, use dead body reagents to summon more demons. Repeat.

Post by: gman8181 on March 05, 2013, 07:16:28 pm
Name: The Entity (Jim)
Sex: None (Male)
Age: Unknown (21)
Description: True form is constantly changing but somewhat serpent/leech like
Disguised Form - Brown eyes and hair (medium/short length), white skin, about 6 ft tall and sporting some pretty sweet sideburns, a thin beard and mustache along with some dark shades (sunglasses). Wears flannel pajama pants and a grey sweat shirt for maximum flexibility when fighting but in social situations may wear a rather dashing white tuxedo along with a Fedora, white dress shoes and a cane (the shades too of course).
Origin: Born in the darkest recesses of the void, the Entity has lived since time immemorial in a seemingly endless slumber that until recently had been undisturbed. While the Entity is very old, it has little life experience due to spending all its time in a hibernation like state. While the Entity was sleeping however, large groups of void beings came around it and began worshiping the Entity as their god due to the mutative energies they felt emanating from the creature. In an attempt to wake their proclaimed god, the void beings tried to cast a ritual but things went wrong. The Entity awoke and saw its followers but moments later was hurled out of the void and cast down to the planet Earth. Upon impacting with the surface in a wooded region, the beast ate the first living thing it found to sate its hunger. The Entity acting on instinct, rapidly mutated its body after consuming the man and took his form so as to blend in with this new environment. Flashes of the man's life flew through the Entity's mind. This man had been named Jim and he owned a small run down house nearby in the woods.
Traits: The Entity has just woken up after a long nap. Despite being very old, the Entity has little life experience and relies somewhat on instinct to compensate. It has not yet developed much of a personality but is quite curious of its new surroundings. The entity is somewhat small but that will likely change now that it is awake and can eat. It misses the comfort of the void and wishes to open a way back but does not know how. Its instincts however tell it to take advantage of the many living beings of this planet and that this will help accomplish its goal. It will likely use its powers to try to open a way to the void and in the meantime make this world as close to home as possible.
Powers: The Entity has the ability to mutate living things including itself. Eating things helps it grow and evolve. It also has telekinetic powers (moving things with its mind) allowing it to easily shape the environment just as it shapes living beings with its other power. Lastly it has some biological abilities that it can develop through its mutations like acid spitting, swimming well, breathing underwater, etc
So any changes that need to be made, just let me know.

Space Fleet? Awesome, that fits in perfectly with my character bio. Oh and Vgray, take in my fast food chef as an apprentice to the dark arts!
Might take awhile for the next batch of Chosen Ones to arrive on the planet...just hope one of them's you.
None of us have even met each other in the flesh yet except for Zan and the Moderator.

It is now required that The Moderator attract Aliens to Earth.
It''ll motivate us to to make a space fleet.
You're going for unification right? If not, we have a problem.
How shall I do this? Laser Rifle disco? Telling their leader that he is a smelly poo-poo head?

I was wondering whether we'd be getting an application from you after seeing your post in YaM. Glad to have you aboard. Jim's sheet checks out for the most part, though making a little more clear what exactly his traits are wouldn't hurt.
Edit: Actually just to make my character at least a little bit competitive I'd also like for him to be able to absorb energy from other beings to become more powerful or something like that. Jim just doesn't know that he has this ability yet.
That'd be fine, but you're gonna need to elaborate a bit more on what you mean by "absorbing energy". Are we talking something akin to vampirism? Just how would he go about extracting the energy from other beings in the first place? Would there be any specific effects on Jim or his victims worth noting after absorbing their "energy"?
Post by: gman8181 on March 06, 2013, 03:45:48 pm
Generally friendly to people but won't hesitate to be a jerk if he gains something from it. Even though he can put on a nice outside persona, he doesn't really like most people. When he does like a person though, he can be a pretty loyal friend but this doesn't happen too often and it can be hard to tell who Jim likes and who he just pretends to like. He has an off sense of humor that most others probably wouldn't understand. He is lazy in that he doesn't like to start something but once he gets going, he almost always finishes and tries his best while performing the task. Despite his laziness, Jim is very ambitious, probably verging on power hungry. He likes to have lots of things and is always trying to get more.
Okay now about the powers. To be honest, I'm not really 100% sure where I was going with that myself. Have you ever seen "The Mummy"? You know how he kind of sucks the life out of them? Not quite like a vampire because he doesn't actually bite them or even touch them with his mouth. He just just sort of inhales their essence until they're gone. I guess sort of like that but maybe without leaving behind the nasty looking corpses.
I'm flexible with the effects it would have on my character. Healing him maybe and then also just making him more powerful? Maybe if he consumes enough people he can gain a new additional power or something? Long term I can try and become powerful enough to consume the whole planet or something. :P

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So, an Average Joe with the ability to drain peoples' lifeforce? Sounds good. I'll get him added to the waitlist.
As for traits, just lemme know whether this looks about right so we can avoid any confusion later on:
Friendly (to an extent), questionable sense of humor, procrastinator, high aspirations, materialistic.
Reasoning behind sudden change of mind:
Considering how DZA has not met him before and due to the proximedy of the death-sites, it is hightly possible that he could have revived both Zanzetkuken and Dark Zanzetkuken, causing them to become opposing personalities.

Oh, so it's my fault that Zan snapped and suddenly decided to attempt a mass beheading, then? What happened to Mr. Mana-Enhanced Mental Control & Discipline? :P
Anyway, if Zanzetkuken can now be considered a generally upstanding person with multiple personalities and psychopathic tendencies, I guess that means he and The Moderator have more in common than I originally thought. You guys should make a splendid team.

I suspect the rate of Chosen One deaths will begin to rise substantially once they become an influential enough force in the world to start unavoidably interfering with each other's plans.
Average Joe with life stealing powers, yeah that sounds good if a bit ridiculous in retrospect.

Say, would anyone know what happened to Sir Havel? Is he waiting for something?
Haven't posted results for Havel yet partly because he could still technically be considered in the process of exiting/collapsing the shrine, and partly because I wanted to post his, Taom's, and Hisir's results all at once (since their actions will all be completed at roughly the same time).

Mayhap. Taking recent events into account, I guess it wouldn't be that hard to believe that Black Maple's supervisors would want to start collecting items and info from The Moderator's base ASAP to prevent any more of their plans from going astray. But then again, I'd imagine they'd also now be even more reluctant to trust anything either Moderator says. For all they know, this "phasing" could just be another part of The Moderators' grand plot to escape.

All right, some other faces in the game!
Zan and Kestrel hadn't posted any actions, so I just decided to skip ahead to the people whose actions were the closest to completion.
(How far have I traveled anyway?)
I think Jorn's been walking for around 20 minutes now. So, with my rule of thumb being that people generally walk at a speed of 4-5 MPH, I'd say about a mile or two. The distance between Gadsden and Hopkins is roughly 8 miles, in case you were wondering.

Post by: gman8181 on March 26, 2013, 08:50:31 pm
Name: The Entity (Jim)
Sex: None (Male)
Age: Unknown (21)
Description: True form is constantly changing but somewhat serpent/leech like
Disguised Form - Brown eyes and hair (medium/short length), white skin, about 6 ft tall and sporting some pretty sweet sideburns, a thin beard and mustache along with some dark shades (sunglasses). Wears flannel pajama pants and a grey sweat shirt for maximum flexibility when fighting but in social situations may wear a rather dashing white tuxedo along with a Fedora, white dress shoes and a cane (the shades too of course).
Origin: Born in the darkest recesses of the void, the Entity has lived since time immemorial in a seemingly endless slumber that until recently had been undisturbed. While the Entity is very old, it has little life experience due to spending all its time in a hibernation like state. While the Entity was sleeping however, large groups of void beings came around it and began worshiping the Entity as their god due to the mutative energies they felt emanating from the creature. In an attempt to wake their proclaimed god, the void beings tried to cast a ritual but things went wrong. The Entity awoke and saw its followers but moments later was hurled out of the void and cast down to the planet Earth. Upon impacting with the surface in a wooded region, the beast ate the first living thing it found to sate its hunger. The Entity acting on instinct, rapidly mutated its body after consuming the man and took his form so as to blend in with this new environment. Flashes of the man's life flew through the Entity's mind. This man had been named Jim and he owned a small run down house nearby in the woods.
Traits: The Entity has just woken up after a long nap. Despite being very old, the Entity has little life experience and relies somewhat on instinct to compensate. It has not yet developed much of a personality but is quite curious of its new surroundings. The entity is somewhat small but that will likely change now that it is awake and can eat. It misses the comfort of the void and wishes to open a way back but does not know how. Its instincts however tell it to take advantage of the many living beings of this planet and that this will help accomplish its goal. It will likely use its powers to try to open a way to the void and in the meantime make this world as close to home as possible.
Powers: The Entity has the ability to mutate living things including itself. Eating things helps it grow and evolve. It also has telekinetic powers (moving things with its mind) allowing it to easily shape the environment just as it shapes living beings with its other power. Lastly it has some biological abilities that it can develop through its mutations like acid spitting, swimming well, breathing underwater, etc
So any changes that need to be made, just let me know.

Woops. I was kind of basing it off my character from Pantheons. The similarity between our two characters just occurred to me. Glad you like it though :D.It's all right with me as it seems that the Entity is more biological while TorZon can basically do anything with matter, so they'll have different play styles. If anything, they'll be good playmates.

Nice work. Looks like everything checks out.
I have a feeling The Entity and TorZon will either end up being the best of friends or bitter arch rivals. Probably arch rivals, as I could imagine them getting pretty competitive over available food should they ever happen find themselves in the same general area.
In other news, due to a number of miscellaneous distractions gluttonously eating away at most of my time as of late, the next update is taking slightly longer than expected. Your continued patience is appreciated.

Awesome.I recommend the Jade Falcon Trilogy. You should probably read one or two Battletech novels and surf their wiki for a bit to get the full experience otherwise you won't know at all whats happening. Once you get into it its just as good (if not better than) WH40K novels. It has a very rich and deep in-universe culture. I've been reading them since I was little and still haven't even scratched the surface.

I'm a time-travelling young adult with enough firepower to level a city, and the insanity to do it. I have a sort-of girlfriend that is an alien half-breed, and I managed to annihilate a galaxy by oerforming dance moves.

Meaning that, so long as fate ever-so-mercifully decides not to bombard me with a host of completely unanticipated events over the next couple weeks, I should be able to start pumping out updates on an at least semi-regular basis for a time. Rejoice!
I'll write something up real quick for the next update soon, just to get things chugging along again, then try my darndest to keep the flow going from there. As always, the continued show of interest despite my almost complete lack of posting has been quite encouraging, and prevents the duty of running this game from ever falling too far back on my list of priorities. For that, I give you all my dearest thanks.

For Havel, I'd say something solemn and resonant would be most fitting, with strong religious denotation. What about a nice Gregorian chant? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_gcJc1MmCQ)

Something ominous, brooding. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tl1OEKVMdk)

If the moderator survives, then Black Maple will surround him, capturing him again.
While this is happening, Zanzetkuken will
1) Planeswalk to a New Phyrexia Conversion oil source.
2) Grab some of the Phyrexian Conversion oil. (Planeswalker spark immunity to Phyrexis FTW!)
3) Planeswalk to a swamp on another plane.
4) Use the swamp's black mana to bind the Phyrexis to his will.
5) Planeswalk to where the moderator is captured
6) Throw the oil in the face of a Black Maple soldier, corrupting him/her into a phyrexian, who spreads the oil to other Black Maple soldiers, who spread it to the vehicles, etc. (Oil would be instructed to not corrupt the Moderator.) [ETA of this step: 15-20 minutes]
7) Laugh as the Canadian army becomes his own. [ETA:~1 hour]
8) Use Infinite Mana/Myr combo [ETA: 30 minutes for army larger than the population of the world, thanks to the method's nature]
9) Conquer World, uniting it under the equal hive mind of Phyrexis. [ETA: a few days to a week.] (Exponential increase!)
10) Game won.
Alternative Plan:
1) Planeswalk to Africa.
2) Infinite Mana Combo.
3) Planeswalk to orbit.
4) Before running out of breath, use the 1000000000 mana gained to cast a fireball spell that annihilates the world.
5) Game won.
@Zan's last action
Damn, that's cold. :o
Dark's a combination of every stereotypical bad guy with Bay 12 insanity. Expect anything less?

Havel.
The various demons and archdemons.
Me.
Post by: Zanzetkuken The Great on June 04, 2013, 02:46:45 am
There's always a plan. Off the top of my head, the followers of Lunus and Solarian would unify in the basis of such a threat (and more importantly the gods themselves) and nullify it.
Havel.

All of which, but you can be corrupted. I would offer you transfer into the oil so you can incorporate the mass of what it infects into your own.
Post by: Kestrel_6 on June 05, 2013, 01:01:31 am
But, at least I didn't Only learn how to Dragon shout. Alteration spells FTW
by that same token, it would probably have been a good idea to learn anything of any other school.
also, I do like the idea of my other theme.
Actually, I should list abilities/stuff.
Alteration (TES III Morrowind): meh, not entirely setting the magic world on fire, but he can at least use a few spells when it's nifty to
Dragon Shout (TES V Skyrim): only really FUS RO DAH. As confirmed 50-60 mins ago
Psionics (XCOM: Enemy Unknown): has the issue of being incredibly physically draining, to the point of a personal telekinetic field/mind control rendering him unconscious.
mechanically minded: he only really knows about what he actually owns. the rest he might be interested in deciphering, but only after a while
sciency minded: passed his science classes, but not by much. He'll mostly read random stuff and lose most understanding after a while.
pilot: above average piloting his Phantom craft, but most other things only matches to most out of academy greenies.
shooter: pretty good, considering most 'diplomatic' (known as 'boring political shit' to The Moderator) attempts either turn into threat sessions or end up shooting.
Swords/fists: often getting attacked in barfights leads to a somewhat dislike for fist-fighting. At swords, is almost hopeless against any opponent with experience.
And would it be fair to say that that other person that attacked BM I believed was a figment of my imagination, and told me that it would eat my family if I didn't?

They're the only ones who have had any real action so far (Zanz and Moderator that is).
All I've done is killed a beast or two, made a bunch of kids scared and confused, and, if I remember correctly, kidnapped some of them in an attempt to start my owncultknightly order. So far it seems that the religion I'm trying to save is too far gone to help anyways, so I'm not sure what I'll do once I've confirmed that all the temples have become overgrown or been ransacked. I think I would have been better off forcing that priest to stay in the temple, rather than obeying his wishes and collapsing the shrine. It would have served me better to keep the outpost.
I'm feeling the same way.

Tell your bird demon to stand in the road and wait for the next car. Next one that comes, grab the driver out of it, restrain them and send their soul down to the underworld in exchange for a new demon minion.
Keep new minion around as a body guard and send out birdy to look for a good temporary base of operations. He'll come back, tell you about it and then you profit.
Or at the very least you'll have a car you can sleep in :D.

I planeswalked away from the moderator as the Interceptor crashed and fell down a mountain, getting no injuries besides less badassery. Standard portion regained control, and is going to planeswalk to the moderator and carry the moderator away from the crash site.
You know, I cannot help but visualize this character's 'standard' side as looking like Cloud Strife (FFVII), while having his 'dark' side look like Kadaj (FFVII: Advent Children).

Thankfully, Planeswalkers can create anything with enough mana.
So Planeswalkers just conjure stuff out of thin air, then? I was under the assumption that the things they brought forth were summoned from other planes and whatnot.
You know, I think just having that sword with you would raise badassery, whether you used it or not.
I suppose that would depend on the level of your badassery at the time. The higher it is, the more it takes to bump it up to the next level, after all.
The Knight of Stone and the Warlock. Sounds like an odd pair to me.
Come on now, everyone knows that odd pairs always make best duos.

Well, kinda depends on your interpretation of whether the mana is used as a gateway, or as a source for conversion. Either way, since each 'plane' is one universe, according to multiverse theories that state that every possibility creates a universe, then it has to exist somewhere. (Interestingly enough, in the MTG lore, there are apparently multiple multiverses. In fact, the reason there are two Zanzetkukens is because one came from another multiverse.)

Do you think it's going to be easier or harder to convince people to follow us when our existence becomes common knowledge?
At very least we could get Bay12 by having me create dwarves. And elves for them to kill.
Edit: Actually, using this logic we could convince any high fantasy fans/roleplayers/etc. to follow us.

Only for a short while.
Then we extend Bay12 loyalty by providing Toady, Threetoe, and Scamps with whatever they want.
We would also build basically a high fantasy haven that will give us enough revenue (along with me summoning and selling artifacts) to buy up whoever tries to sue us. If we ever buy up a video game corporation, then we make high quality games and (this next thing applies to all companies we buy up) don't screw over the consumers. Eventually we'll own the world economy and own all the mercenary companies. Then we conquer the world.

During a recent visit from some dear relatives of mine (who, in case you were wondering, have been the primary reason I've been unable to get any updates posted over the past week or so), I have been repeatedly advised to depart from my current Base of Operations in order to take a little trip down to the U.S. state of California and meet up with some old friends and family I've not seen in close to a decade. Many of them have already been told to expect my arrival, and are now apparently overflowing with excitement (not that I could blame them). Of course, me being the wonderful, people-pleasing motherfucker that I am, this means that refusing to embark on this trip is no longer an option.
I can't say how this will affect my ability to update the game, due to being unsure of what the internet/computer situation will be at the new Base of Operations I'll be headed to (I suppose I'll try to pick up a cheap laptop if necessary). In any case, the next update probably shouldn't be expected for another few days, at the very least.

First off, I am ecstatic to see there is still a healthy interest in the game. Although I do not at this moment have the time to read through all the new sheets that have been posted, I would like to state for the record that I have no problem with people coming up with backup characters to be added onto the waitlist if they so choose, and also offer my warmest welcome to Xanmyral for choosing partake in this glorious literary adventure of ours (my welcome may be just a tad late, but whatever).
I am currently chillaxing at the home my dear and beloved grandmother, and have been rather busy as of late catching up with/helping out old friends and family in the area. Yet, as I am sure I have said before, you can all rest assured that this game is not dead, nor will it ever die until the trial for godhood is completed. No matter how long that may take.
Once I acquire the necessary free time, I will see about finishing up the next update so that we can make at least a little progress while I am away from my Base of Operations. For now, however, I shall leave you all with a small but nevertheless intriguing question to reflect upon during my absence:
Assuming the worst occurs and your Chosen One(s) ultimately fails to achieve their final goal, how exactly do you predict they will meet their end? How do you envision the potential downfall of your Chosen One?

Figure I'll chip in on the prodding question: I predict Vitae to die probably by something with a lot of excessive force. Really depends on if he can get the ball rolling or not, as to how much excessive force will be used to do said destruction. Probably by magic, I'm guessing, due to him scoffing at it one time too many. Or blatant dismissal of deities, that might do it too. ...There are a lot of ways really.

@Xantalos
Although it's not really all that urgent a matter at the moment, I will, at some point, need to know exactly how many dragonfang daggers Valoth happens to be equipped with. Other than that, bravo. The sheer level of thought and detail you put into the character and his background is nothing short of spectacular.
You know, I wonder where we would be if the competition area was what I was visualizing before it was posted to be earth: a 10 mile radius arena that had a few sparse villages scattered throughout, and was composed of every biome...
There were actually a fair few different scenarios I was thinking of going with when first coming up with the game, before ultimately concluding that, for this first chapter at least, the good ol' planet Earth would be more than sufficient for all foreseen plans and purposes.
Perhaps, one day in the distant future, later chapters of the game will allow us to explore these alternate scenarios.
I'm just glad this is staying alive, even if it is moving slowly. It's really fun to read even without participating, so I can only imagine how much I'll love this thread if I actually get into the game :P.
That is simply splendid to know, seeing as I consider most of my writing in the game's updates to be rather dry.

That is simply splendid to know, seeing as I consider most of my writing in the game's updates to be rather dry.Your updates usually have a sense of humor blended into them that I really appreciate.
Your time will come, my dear fancily-dressed anthropomorphic peanut. Your time will come...Yeah, I don't mind waiting. Just like to let you know from time to time that I'm still interested despite not being able to directly participate.
Edit: Ah and it appears GUNIN shut down one of his games which means I'm currently participating in one forum rp game.

Correct me if I am wrong, but do most of the 'unify' chosen ones have a higher kill count than the 'destroy' chosen ones? I have that impression for some reason.

So how's your trip been, DZA?
In short? Currently staying with one of my aunts while learning more and more each day about my extended family and the rich history behind it.
Oh, and also making sure to frustrate the friendly neighborhood pastor at least once a week with incessant questions concerning the mysterious ways of God.

I now have two choices for a base of operations.
1. An abandoned but mostly intact barn with a family living nearby.
2. An abandoned run-down hovel that should afford more privacy.
Err...not really abandoned for the first one I guess. But not used much either.

Edit: remind me: is Taom waiting for anything? If not I'll PM Inithis so he can do stuff.
Inithis' last posted actions for Taom were:
Grab a newspaper and take out a loan of 100$ from someplace- probably one of those more shady loan-establishments; it's okay if the interest rate is high, I don't intend to pay it back.
Meditate and consolidate my power; as well as visiting the ethereal landscape.
Taom's most recent action results:
Taom
Although failing to come across any shady loan sharks on his walk through the settlement, Taom is successful in obtaining a 54£ 'loan' from a gullible young man he ran into near one of the local pubs (who seemed to be just little more than tipsy at the time), after making a convincing yet empty promise to repay him with three times the given amount sometime tomorrow. Not quite the amount nor the type of currency he was hoping for, but it's nevertheless a step up from being dirt poor.
I am currently awaiting further input from Inithis in case, given what has occurred in the above result, he decides to alter his current plan of action for Taom (e.g. going ahead entering meditation despite not yet obtaining his desired amount/form of currency).

As long as you are discreet about your actions (including your murders), I think you should be fine.
Edit: Ask the person if this is the right town for the Costume Convention. :P
25 minutes, man, 25 F*CKING MINUTESTime stuff is hard to implement in these types of games. He could make each turn be at least 30 minutes or maybe an hour even if realistically the events would take less time. That would kind of force events to move along while encouraging players to post turn actions that take regular amounts of time but not that they have to plan out a whole day or week.

I doubt there will be many other days in the course of this game that will last quite as long as the current one, what with it having been constantly been prolonged by an abundance of minute actions while simultaneously being relentlessly slowed down by various personal life events. Of course, I'm still always open to suggested improvements to the game's systems and mechanics.
I wonder what a Yxchu costume would look like...
If my own personal mental image of such a creation is anything to go by, somehow absolutely hilarious and utterly horrifying at the exact same time.

You could keep the current system, but with the addition of a minimum time length for turns. I would say 1-5 minutes would be reasonable. Considering how many actions take little more than a few seconds, this would increase the speed by a fair deal, while remaining low enough that conversations take place over a reasonable amount of time.+1
Even 1 minute would keep the clock moving. Just justify it by having people pace around and such while talking.

This certainly seems to be the most popular idea amongst the majority of you. Before we can even think to give it a try, however, I'm going to need you all reach a general consensus on what exactly the minimum time length should be, as right now suggestions seem to be ranging anywhere from a whole hour to a single minute.

You're fine. I really doubt the participants mind receiving a little out-of-game "advice" every now and then. And I'm totally not just saying that because I find your suggestions to Vgray highly amusing.
Suggestion: Have it be a half hour or an hour for regular updates, but give people individual, quicker updates that fit between the regular time updates for combat.
That could work, I suppose. Currently, I'm just waiting to see some more definitive agreement amongst the players before going ahead and making any adjustments to the time system.
At this rate I'm wondering if playing as Valoth would be more worthwhile what with the ridiculous amounts of backstory he has.
Well, even if he doesn't end up getting a chance to shine in this edition of Slaves to DZA, there's always the multiple later chapters of the game that I'm bound to create at some point in the (probably quite distant) future. Or, hell, if you wanted he could even be one of the people that randomly appears out of fucking nowhere in You are Me.
You know, because if there's anything that YaM lacks, it's completely random appearances by individuals who have absolutely no prior connection to anything in the story whatsoever.

Quote from: Superhero Generator
X has learned to transform his body into string. He developed the talent to take control of heat and bend it to his will and he has the power to tunnel through solid fluid. X can view distant locations with his mind and he possesses the power to create shadow out of thin air. He likewise has an unbelievable wisdom and he displays a terrific capacity at avoiding attacks, however doing so makes him weak for ten minutes. X is able to absorb the damage from aging and redirect it against a series of enemies and he has mastered the ability to steal the mental attributes of his foes and use it against them. Additionally, he has been known to become gigantic, but doing so drains his utility belt that always comes in handy for one day. X has been known to cause his assailants to become completely incapable of piloting and he has developed all of the powers and talents of a scorpion. He also can transform titanium into glass and he can make plants appear from nowhere. X wades into combat with a razor-sharp morningstar made from water, but only when concentrating.

Well, I decided to come out of my lurker shell when i saw read through this epic forum game, and decided that I couldn't pass this one up. Applying for once in my observant life. I'm thinking of a Druidic type character who can call on the aid of nature/shape-shift/manifest spirits of the land, though this is quite rough to be honest. I'll see if i can come up with a more written up character App tomorrow, as well as toss around a few other ideas when i am not in dire need of sleep.
(Damn it, I'm always late responding to new participants...)
First off, I'm simply flattered that this game is what convinced you to finally join the forum community, and hope that your time spent here as an official member of Bay 12 will be nothing short of wondrous (of course, what with me being here, I honestly don't see how anyone could possibly find their time on these forums to be anything other than absolutely euphoric).
I greatly look forward to seeing what sort of character(s) you come up with, and even more so to seeing them raise hell on Earth as humanity saving/annihilating badasses. We're not exactly dealing with any shortage of Chosen Ones at the moment, so feel free to take your time.
Now's your chance to make up for lost time Xantalos! Get out there and up the ante!Slip into a movie theater from the projector area and eat everyone while they're distracted!Whoops that's been done. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJu_j5BvD7s&list=PL3D5CEE7C4D49BED7&index=7)Maybe slither through the sewers and climb up through people's drains to suck them down.Dang that's been done too.

Damn straight.
Well, my overly complicated action is posted. If you need clarification, DZA, let me know.
If I'm understanding everything correctly, then basically you want TorZon to discreetly seek out and infiltrate the bodies of unsuspecting hospital patients, finagle its way into their cranial cavity, and then somehow hijack their nervous systems and start reading their memories by enveloping their brains in its own gooey self. Is that right?

Yep, I now acknowledge all actions that are posted in the update that follows them, even if just to let participants know that their actions will take more time to complete.
Also, I think this is suitable for an addition to your sig, DZA. The game, I mean.
I had sort of decided against doing so when I first created the game due to the fact that it wasn't originally intended to be anything more than a neat little experiment, but I suppose one could say this game has since then reached the required level of epic to be worthy of such a privilege. Perhaps a little later, when I feel like less of a procrastinating asshole, I shall go about making such an addition.

Don't worry. I'll pull strings behind DZA's back to ensure the death of one of the pretenders to my forum game character throne. You're all marionettes in the game, and I'm the puppetmaster. Insert evil laugh here.

Better recruit/secretly turn out to be George RR Martin or something.
Post by: King DZA on October 11, 2013, 12:28:47 am
Edit: Not sure why but I have a feeling things are going to get a whole lot crazier soon. I'm a little curious to see if any of the chosen ones are going to clash with one another in the near future.
Can't say. Currently, all the Chosen Ones are a pretty safe distance away from each other. Although, considering how much trouble they've managed to cause only halfway through the second day of the trial, I wager they'll be at each other's throats before the end of the first week.
Actually, that brings an interesting question to mind:
Out of curiosity, what showdown between Chosen Ones would you guys be most interested in seeing? Pesonally, I think a deity-backed Hisir VS. Havel duel would be pretty kickass.

Less than an hour.
You'll have to do that ... 9 times or so.

Who knows, depending on what sort of character he comes up with, he could very well end up being the next participant to enter the trial.

Hsir vs Havel (diety backed, of course)
Jorn vs the Moderator
TorZon vs
Taom vs Zanzetkuken, assuming Taom is at the higher levels of badassery where he really shines.
Less than an hour? Excellent! Soft tissues and such take less time to assimilate, I suppose.

All those pesky bones, muscles, and organs can sure slow things down when you add 'em up.
Well, you never know, I suppose.
Except for you, because you choose the people.
To be honest, I can't be entirely certain of what order the Chosen Ones will be selected to participate in either, due to the fact that who gets sent out to Earth can depend largely on how the trial appears to be unfolding at the time. And not even I, in all my infinite wisdom, have a fucking clue about what direction the fate of humanity take with the colorful cast of characters we have running around right now.

That would be due to the fact that I haven't received any new actions from Inithis (Forum member whom Taom belongs to) in quite a while.

If you seriously want to, do it.
First, I need to have DZA meet dark, so dark can identify himself as someone completely different. Oh, couple notes about how his appearance differs from standard: red eyes, stark-white hair, red and black dragonscale/darksteel armor stylized like leather armor (lacking armor for right arm), and a arm mutated to a fusion of dragon and demonic hide and structure.

Interesting. I bet you can pull that off easily though.
He's completely insane from being affected by sharing his mind with a few omnicidal maniacs, a few elder gods, some forgotten beasts, etc. in addition with binding a whole new strain of phyrexis directly to himself...so that shouldn't be too hard.

Last I checked in with him, he informed me that he was still following the thread despite not being online enough to actively participate, though that was quite some time ago as well.
I should mention that there isn't actually any hard limit for the amount of Chosen Ones that can participate in the trial at any one time, so there's no real need to worry about "slots" being being taken up by inactive players; if I ever feel that the vitality of the game is suffering due to a lack of activity from previously selected Chosen Ones, I'll just let in more people from the waitlist, and allow those less active players to come and go as they please. The only thing holding me back from allowing in more Chosen Ones at this time is the fear that it would slow the overall progression of the game down to an unacceptable level.
I'm curious as to what would result if my character went dark mode (which considering how he just trolled Canada, he may already be in), planeswalked into a Chinese ICBM facility, and fired upon Russia.
...so tempted to do this...
I have to say, I find it highly entertaining that the expected leader of the proposed Unification alliance has thus far been responsible for more human deaths than all other Chosen Ones combined. And, because of his great power and mental instability, arguably poses the greatest threat to the human race at this point in the trial.

Probably because he has, from a practical standpoint, the greatest power level of all the chosen ones at the start of the trial. He can go anywhere almost instantly, summon up invincible armor, has strength and speed far beyond an ordinary human, has an adamantine sword, and a base with dorfs. However, his potential for improvement is limited compared to the others such as Jorn, who'll eventually be summoning armies of demons to his side, Havel, who will eventually gain Solus' benediction and become a total badass, Hsir with his god backing him and his armies of shadow people, the Moderator's crazy world ending tech and TorZon's [SECRET].

How would Badassery affect TUG & SUS, given that they're machines?
In pretty much the same manner it affects all other Chosen Ones:
Quote from: For those interested in: Badassery
It is this gift that will, for the most part, determine your overall potency for the duration of the trial. Its level rises with your glorious successes, and falls with your dismal failures. It can transform you into a mountain-splitting, army annihilating juggernaut, or a sorry fool, who may sooner be killed off by their own misfortune than by the hand of any opponent.
Mechanically, the level of your badassery will tie into a number of things. Most notably, it will increase/decrease your roll threshold depending on its level, allowing you to either wield greater power and accomplish more and more impressive feats with ease, or making you more prone to slip-ups and mishaps.
Regardless of their non-organic composition, with a higher level of Badassery they will become stronger, tougher, and generally more successful in whatever actions they choose to carry out. And with lower Badassery, just the opposite.

Post by: gman8181 on October 18, 2013, 11:15:46 pm
In general, they will probably most notably affect how easily The Entity can mutate other living organisms, and to what extent. As well as the overall power of its telekinetic abilities.Sounds good. I was kind of trying to picture how badassery might tie into the whole "blood magic" thing the entity has going but I think it probably makes more sense for it to influence the mutations and TK abilities like you said.
Or maybe these are all just thinly veiled excuses for me to post in the thread. :P
And I got a level for writing a book. Huh.It was a damn good book.
Post by: King DZA on October 19, 2013, 05:21:48 am
The Entity's powers of Manipulation can fairly easily be worked into the rising and falling of its Badassery level. I'll simply have the cost of using such powers relate directly to where The Entity sits on the Badassery Scale. Meaning that, at the highest levels, spells and whatnot that would normally leave your Chosen One either heavily drained or dead will be able to be cast effortlessly and without breaking its stride. And at the lowest levels, The Entity would have to gather up a sizable sacrifice in order to perform even the most basic of Manipulation-based feats. Sound good?
And I got a level for writing a book. Huh.
Not just any book. A book of dark rituals skillfully written down in your own blood. If that isn't enough to earn a warlock a small level up in Badassery, I don't know what is.

That would likely only be mental, though. Physical would be way too OP.
A division like that would probably divide up physical abilities as well, killing the super human abilities down to regular human (except maybe for green, that mana relies on physical capabilities.)
Of course, if all of them somehow combine, expect this (for reference, I think that mountain goes above the treeline - the point where trees fail to grow from lack of air.):

Sounds great. Maybe at higher levels, the Entity would be able to Manipulate non organic materials as well.
That is likely something that will have to be learned by The Entity first, due to the fact it is not an ability that comes naturally to it. That being said, a higher level of Badassery will definitely make learning such an ability much easier.

It's also classified as "Hydra Avatar", so maybe it's some sort of partial deity.

I was under the assumption that such a rivalry already existed. I imagine their conflicts with one another would be very covert/discreet, however. Their fighting mostly done through subterfuge and such. Can't simply expect to see them waltzing into each other's bases, high-tech guns ablazing, lest they shatter the carefully constructed facade that their respective governments are close allies.

But think of the !!!FUN!!! of a Syndicate Wars-style snatch and grab of perhaps the CIA's biggest threat (I mean, when you roll up to Langley in a Cool-Ship and basically trash the place to save a half-alien hybrid ambassador who happened to be the daughter of a previous Moderator and the Alien''s Fleet Admiral, causing so much goddamn damage it would be written off in a movie as 'unrealistic as hell') AND it's potentially most valuable payoff, coupled with the fact 90% of countries are practicing almost global-scale supervillainy (Australia's attempts at breeding combat-capable native animals, for instance)

I have my doubts about that. After all, when the whole world is a battlefield, even the largest of armies will find it no small task to completely subdue the chaos.
Then again, who knows? It wouldn't be the first time in the course of the game that things have taken a turn that I failed to anticipate. I would only advise that you do not make the mistake of assuming that such an act would automatically ensure your victory. For there are many factors to consider, and many secrets yet to be revealed.

Technically wouldn't Vgray also be capable of unleashing an infinitely large army of demons if he became powerful enough?... And Child of Armok has a pretty near limitless army of shadow warriors when he becomes badass enough... And couldn't Xantalos just keep infecting all the infinite soldiers that keep infinitely spawning, growing infinitely larger if a way to kill him isn't discovered... Not to mention if I get in, I could technically open a portal to the void which would let me have infinite resources at my disposal as well. Granted the size of the portal would determine how many beings can get in per day but if it's large enough, I could effectively swarm the planet with a lot of void beings. Hell, if the broken rules I had in play were being used here (which I doubt they are), then sacrificing approximately 100,000 thousand people would then allow me to bring in about 100,000 void beings of varying strength before the portal needs to recharge. Again assuming my old rules are in play, (which they probably aren't but) magic items recharge at a rate of about 10% every 17 minutes. So within about 3 hours, I'd be able to swarm the world with another 100,000 void beings. Not to mention the various fun little war machines hidden away in there, including an effectively limitless fleet of battleships.
Anyway, my point is that an infinite army is cool but there's actually quite a couple ways it could be dealt with. Occasionally involving other infinitely large armies :P.

This way, I see three endings
Total goddamn Annihilation
Basically, everyone whips out nukes and completely obliterates the Human Race. The Earth is gone, seas boiled away, little traces of wildlife or flora. TorZon could become incredibly powerful to that, until someone or other brings an Anti-Matter bomb into play. Whomever survives, would probably have King DZA pitting you guys to the death.
Almost entirely destroyed
Humanity survives the super-beings and their armies, with tremendous losses in life. The last scattered remnants of humanity agree to never let such a thing happen, and attempt to rebuild what was lost. A long and slow road. But I guess that counts as a Unification victory
Battered but Standing
Humanity faces these collective threats on a united front, despite the efforts of some to destroy that. They fight off all-comers, with many losses, but eventually they survive. Given the wealth of alien technology, Humanity expands into space yada yada yada
Given what some Chosen ones have in the playing field, options 1 and 2 seem likely. So why include 3?
Well, humanity would THRIVE on this kind of warfare. Limitless funding would be given to R&D's across the globe, working on next-generation weaponry. XCOM-style research on alien gear would yield even more advanced weaponry, star-based propulsion, energy sources. Under this new tech-boom, they could receive mysterious packages that weigh 75 tons...

Zanny seems to be the loose cannon of the bunch and I have no idea what he's aiming for; although I think he's leaning towards destruction (got bored with unification eh? Or maybe just like playing both sides of the game?).
Currently:
'Light' - Unification
'Dark' - Destruction
After that one split I referred to:
White - Unification
Blue - Whichever will have greater profit for him at the time, but playing the other side as well to prolong conflict and get more profit.
Black - Carefully conceived destruction.
Red - Whatever sounds fun at the time. (During destruction - total chaos)(During unification - forming barely structured bands for to allow for the former to have more participating)
Green - Destruction to a primal state, then unify the remains.

Add steps between 3 and 4 as necessary. And include the word Profit somewhere.

I actually think this is a pretty cool idea; Zanzetkuken would essentially suffer the tragic fate of having his own mind (or perhaps his very being) be nigh-irreparably fragmented by his own immense power, which is not only an awesome character development, but could also be surprisingly balanced gameplay-wise:
Zanzetkuken would gain the advantage of having a diverse selection of different playstyles to switch between, but also the disadvantage of having each of those playstyles be much more limited in their capabilities due to their specialized nature. Not to mention the fact that he'd almost inevitably end up being alienated by all the other Chosen Ones in the trial on account of neither the Extermination nor Unification groups ever being able to completely trust him.
Huge demon armies aren't on the menu just yet.

Out of curiosity, what will Jorn rename the state of South Carolina should he achieve total control over it? South Carolina hardly seems like a fitting name for lands ruled over by a powerful warlock, in my opinion.
In other news, I should be able to get an update posted sometime tomorrow. Hopefully, in the coming days, I'll have a little less on my plate and be able to pick up the update pace a little...

With a dull gaze, she briefly looks over the Chosen One, before responding to him in a rather distrustful, unwelcoming tone. "What are you, some kind of priest?""I'm an aspiring author looking to perform research on the negative impacts of ghostly hauntings on the middle class. Those rich bureaucrats have been holding out on us lower class citizens for too long. We have A RIGHT to the same anti ghost services that they possess and it is only through spreading the stories of the common man and women that we can truly hope to bring about the change that is so desperately needed in this fine country. Would you mind if I came in for coffee?"
There is a small pause, followed by yet another question from his ever-inquisitive captors.The moderators eyes dart back and forth momentarily and he gives a deep sigh before speaking.
"...If you wouldn't mind, could you please disclose the details of the mission the two of you are currently on?"
"I don't think you'd believe me even if I told you... Have you ever wondered about... clowns? Who came up with the idea of clowns? They clearly aren't funny to anyone so what's the point? How did they get here and what real purpose do they serve?"
The moderator gives another sigh and continues on,
"Alright you're about to hear the story of your lives."
@Xantalos: It's the perfect place. Kangaroos are already monsters. Just picture what could happen if you infect them and make some modifications.

Holy DZA, this helicopter is taking FOREVER
I'm no elite mathematician, so please correct me if any of my calculations are wrong:
The distance between Black Maple and PNG (the place where, once reached, the team will refuel the heli/pick up supplies and allow the Moderator to phase them to his base) is roughly 6,500 miles. I originally intended to have the helicopter travelling at a speed of 250 MPH (an impressive speed for most any modern helicopter), which would leave the total estimated flight time at around 26 hours. Thinking this to be too long a wait, however, I bumped the heli's speed up to 300 MPH, pretty much making it the fastest helicopter on the planet. This brings the estimated flight time down to approximately 21 hours. As of right now, they are about 8 hours into this journey.
tl;dr: Other-Moderator and company likely won't arrive at the base til day's end.
I just wanna be free and stuff.
Don't we all...
Of course, I want The Moderator to be free as well; I'd much rather be writing about some thrilling escapade involving battle-mechs, time paradoxes, and lots of explosions, yet I can only write about where your chosen actions lead you. And, unsatisfactory as it may be, your actions (with the help of some bad luck and a certain Planeswalker...) have lead you battered and burned back into the hands of a secret Canadian organization with the power to kill you at any moment. :(
DZA, do I happen to have any samples that didn't infect any patients?
Why yes, you do. Quite a few, as a matter of fact. Sorry if I forgot to mention that anywhere.
Moreover, what degree of control do I have over them? Do they still do stuff on their own and such?
Well, seeing as you have assimilated the vast majority of their nervous systems, they are now completely dependent on you just to remain alive. While I suppose they could still technically think for themselves, if we assume TorZon could successfully mimic the signals given out by the brain to the rest of the body, it would give him pretty much total control over what that body does or does not do.

He did meet Sir Havel and Jorn when the alliance was officially created in-character, and Torzon had temporarily interrupted the meeting to speak with DZA, but wasn't there long enough to get any knowledge of the alliance being formed just after this point (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=114505.msg3789987#msg3789987).

Plan A: I can planeswalk into whatever transport he is on in a place where none of them are looking, throw him a gun, and, before anyone sees me, planeswalk out. Not a single thing violates the agreement and freeing the moderator if he can take control of the transport.
Plan B: Once he is in a city in another country, I planeswalk onto a building rooftop, drop a gun into his hands, and planeswalk out. This also does not violate the agreement, and the moderator can escape easily.

DZA, is there a specific reason why stuff like inventory and health are not included in every update?
Not really. I suppose it just seemed like it'd be slightly less bothersome to keep mental notes of everyone's statuses, and then update it all at once at the start of each day, instead of having to go through everything and tweak stuff accordingly before pasting it all into every set of action results.
Then again, this was back when I had first created the game, and never expected that a single turn would last any more than a couple weeks. It's just a good thing I've got such an outstanding memory, or I'd be pretty fucked.
Of course, if you'd ever like an update on any of that info before the start of the next turn, all you have to do is ask.

Moderator is under Canadian supervision and thus also unlikely to cause too much ruckus.
Zan is as I said, unpredictable. He plays both sides and that makes makes him less reliable.

By the way Vgray, don't by any means feel obligated to change your character's behavior. I find Jorn to be a very interesting and entertaining character. A little humor sprinkled here and there such as the bogart incident way back. Can be serious and get things done but at the same time isn't excessively cruel or callous. Just a bit of kindness sprinkled here and there. Overall quite the endearing character.
Same to Kestrel. Love what you do with the character, and I greatly look forward to the moment where you raise hell with superweapons and whatnot. Actually if anything you've been given a perfect opportunity there. Make Black Maple think you're working for them. Get them to work for you. Indirectly that pretty much gives you the most power out of all the chosen one's thus far. You've got a whole government agency backing you and all you need to do is play your cards right and make them think it's all for them. Tons of potential, I'm just not sure what you're going to do with it or how you might leverage it. Good video by the way.
Blue and Orange morality is a personal favorite of mine, followed closely by the shades of grey. Be a jerk one moment while unexpectedly kind the next. Not even necessarily for manipulative reasons. Just because... weird morals. It's fun that way. It feels right.
If I get in, I'm aiming for the Entity to exhibit rather strange tendencies. Not necessarily the same as those seen from the void beings in my dead games. The Entity is a void being but also more than that. A lord among the void beings because of its (his) being different. And out of the infinite number of void beings, I enjoy the idea that even with infinity, the ones with really interesting and unique personalities are few and far between. Because different is sort of harder than the same, as weird as that might sound. The void beings are, despite their variety, so very similar but some of them rise up past that and become something special.
A little bit of my personality mixed in with other personalities I've seen that I find interesting and some concepts mixed in from my dreams because sometimes I like taking ideas from my dreams. I don't usually remember them but when I do... Wow, fun stuff. There's a good chance I'm more likely to do something weird like trying to collect all the chosen ones or warp them to my way of thinking instead of killing or beating them. Don't kill the humans or dominate them so much but change them either physically or mentally. Why? Not even I really know. I just want to have fun and that's how I think I'll go about doing it. Something sporadic and a little crazy. Not the same kind of crazy as Zan and Moderator with multiple personalities but definitely something... different. And as much as I'm anxious to get in, as one might have gauged from me trying to stay active in the OOC, I'm kind of happy because I get to keep thinking of more interesting ideas for how I want my character to act. Even better, because of the nature of this game, I'm not really restricted to certain character conventions. In god games, I sort of need to stick to my spheres or risk being out of character. Other roleplaying games likewise usually have a certain character criteria I need to adhere to. Here though, DZA let's us be really creative and flexible with what we want which is why I'm excited for it. It's like a little playground for my creative roleplaying spirit that lets me toy around with fun concepts that play through my head as I dreamily muddle through my agonizingly dull weekly routine.
And wow. This is what happens when I go to post after drinking too much eggnog if you know what I mean. Snowy weather always puts me in the mood, heh. At least the ideas flow a little more freely. Easier to write them down I guess. Hmm writing that bit about my character made me feel a little annoyed at myself for doing such a poor job with my forum game. Felt like I had good ideas but didn't know how to apply it to a fair game. I guess that's why I have a deep appreciation and respect for people who make it work. A tip of my hat to you DZA.
Spell checked this thing like crazy. I'm a self regulating grammar Nazi and I always make double sure to check my own grammar when I'm like this. Entertainingly, I find the end product sometimes looks better than it would have under normal circumstances, just because I check it over so much. Unfortunately with my minor case of ADD mixed with other stuff, I end up reading each line like 5 times over when I'm checking, haha. :P

It's like a little playground for my creative roleplaying spirit that lets me toy around with fun concepts that play through my head as I dreamily muddle through my agonizingly dull weekly routine.
That's essentially what I was trying to create with this game; a big, unrestricted playing field for people to develop/have fun with awesome character ideas they might not otherwise ever get the opportunity to use. Originally, I was a little worried about just how feasible it'd be to run a competitive RPG without any hard stat systems or a more solid set of rules to keep things balanced, but I'd say it's gone remarkably well so far.
Hmm writing that bit about my character made me feel a little annoyed at myself for doing such a poor job with my forum game. Felt like I had good ideas but didn't know how to apply it to a fair game. I guess that's why I have a deep appreciation and respect for people who make it work. A tip of my hat to you DZA.
My forum game creation formula in a nutshell:
"Construct a basic skeleton, and flesh out certain parts of it as the need arises. Don't be afraid to rearrange the bones of that skeleton if you feel it would be an overall improvement to your creation."
Nothing too impressive, but it certainly gets the job done.

Unfortunately with my minor case of ADD mixed with other stuff, I end up reading each line like 5 times over when I'm checking, haha. :P
No worries, I have the exact same problem. Only caused by deep-seeded fears of failing to meet the expectations I set for myself in any given task or endeavor, rather than ADD or heavy eggnog consumption. One of the myriad reasons why it can take me days or even weeks to finish what seems like a small and simple update.
Anyway, I must say I'm becoming very excited for the day that The Entity finally makes it's debut in the trial. Whenever that day may be.
As a side note, I think something I'd really like to see is a 3-way showdown between TorZon, The Entity, and Vitam. Much of their abilities seem to be closely similar in quite a few ways, and I'm curious to see just who would come out on top if they were to come into conflict with each other. Almost makes me want to create a Chosen One battle arena minigame or something...
And yes, snow is wonderful. The bitter, freezing temperatures that come along with it, on the other hand, I could gladly do without...

It would be interesting to see the three head off against each other. An arms race is what I'm imaging, each with their own special twist on mass accumulation.Yeah, it's a fun concept overall and I think we all took it and created something a little bit unique to ourselves. It'll definitely be interesting to see how things go, should such a conflict arise. Not only due to the differences in character abilities but also due to the character personalities and motivations involved.

Zan is as I said, unpredictable. He plays both sides and that makes makes him less reliable.
You know, I could start a war that gets to the point that all sides need to go into space, which would eventually cause the governments of those sides to coalesce into single nations, then the surviving side becomes the one world government.
...
I'm going to retcon that Dark's conversation about joining Destruction to DZA was a trick to throw off the scent, and allow the freedom to start the war without his side alignment being threatened.

Yeah, it would definitely be interesting. Each one is their own army, once they accumulate enough mass, but each has a different spin on it that could make a lot, or little, difference in how it goes. It would be interesting to imagine that going over.It would be interesting to see the three head off against each other.

I imagine that if you took them in their initial states and stuffed them in a small arena though, it wouldn't be too interesting considering I don't believe any of the three have much offensive capabilities with just themselves. I've admittedly not thoroughly looked things over, so I may be wrong there, so it may be more correct to say that Vita has few to slim offensive capabilities just by himself.
Post by: gman8181 on November 24, 2013, 05:29:35 pm
So yeah, a conflict between the three of us would certainly be both interesting and terrifying to the people on the planet. Assuming we should ever all be playing at once. It doesn't even bear mentioning how horribly things could go down should we end up working together instead of fighting.

He's an AI cube that can rearrange organic material like lego blocks. If I were to think of the closest approximation to an existing character, best I can come up with is Cancer from Romantically Apocalyptic. That's pretty much the basic gist of 'AI with control over organics.'
Other than that, I can't really think of something, although I'm sure there's probably a better parallel somewhere. After looking at Medicant Bias, that's not too far off, I think.

Well, Dark's gonna be charging mana for quite some time then.
More than enough for an industrious Havel to go stop him, methinks.
Based upon how quickly I made all the dwarves, which would cost more than Emrakul, I would say that it would only have taken so long to gain more by having the area 'run out' of easy access mana. Dark would spend only enough time in an area to get one or two (if the spot is rich) mana, then moving onto another spot to get more, on and on and on til he gets all the mana needed fairly quickly. Since he is quickly planeswalking, no one could catch up to him effectively (unless it is night, then Havel could catch up, but even then, Dark would only have to stay in the sunlight til the big bang.).
Edit: There is also the problem of Havel needing to find out that dark is actually doing this, as well.

Still, enough mana to set the whole planet on fire, this early in the game? That's gonna take at least a month.
For 9 mana? I'm pretty sure DZA will limit the range. That's why I'm setting it off in the most populous portion of either China or India to maximize effect. I would say around Tungaska event level damage (though I think it might be closer to 2 or 3 times the strength, considering it's called 'Worldfire').

Exile all permanents? The wording on some of these cards translates in a weird way to the game, I think.

True. You might wish to consider getting some guards for the base too. I mean, an evil get away lair without any scary monsters or faceless goons guarding it would be a little lackluster.
But still. Airstrike...
Post by: King DZA on November 25, 2013, 06:36:35 am
Oh boy, time to break out the marshmallows. Things are gonna get toasty.
Alright, now time to clear some things up real quick:
First of all, no, I do not plan on allowing Zan's Worldfire spell to literally set the entire world on fire. As was pointed out by Gman, the card's effect in MTG doesn't really translate all that smoothly into an in-game effect here. So again, for the sake of simplicity, we'll simply assume "Exile all permanents. Exile all cards from all hands and graveyards. Each player's life total becomes 1" to mean, "Big fiery wave of doom spreads out over an extensive radius and totally fucks everyone's shit up." Any objections?
As of right now, Zanzetkuken has 3 unused units of many (all red). The mana accumulation mechanic in it's latest form (like most the mechanics in the game, it's subject to change as I come up with adjustments that I feel will improve its overall balance/efficiency.) works like this:
At a Badassery Level of Average, pooling together a single unit of mana takes 30 minutes. For each level above average, this time is reduced by 5 minutes. For every level below, 5 minutes is added. The time can be reduced a further 5 minutes if Zanzetkuken is in a landscape associated with the type of mana he is trying to collect (for any who don't already know: Mountains=red, Islands=blue, plains=white, forest/jungle=green, swamps=black), or increased by 5-10 minutes if he is in a landscape that is at odds with it.
With his current Badassery Level of High, Zanzetkuken will, without any land modifiers, be capable of pooling together mana at a steady rate of 1 unit every 20 minutes.

"Big fiery wave of doom spreads out over an extensive radius and totally fucks everyone's shit up."[/i] Any objections?
That's exactly what I expected.

Thanks for the information. That's really useful.
Since he's going around to various areas via planeswalking, and not caring which type he needs to fill it up since he has the required mana colors, it will take 15 minutes per mana so he can grab whatever is there. Since he needs 6, it will roughly take an hour and a half. Add in the two hours to build the base, and it will be roughly 38 turns (minimum of five minutes per turn factored in) since I started working on the base for the spell to launch, and there has been, roughly, 7 turns since I started the base. Therefore, around 31 turns til the massive detonation.

Can you give me numbers? I'm too tired at the moment to look them up.
Tungaska was roughly the strength of the 10-15 megatons of TNT. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event) (Equivalent to United States Castle Bravo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Bravo) hydrogen bomb, which was 15 megatons with a blast size of 4.5 miles across.) (10 to 15 is most likely. Some estimates go up to 30 megatons)
The extent of the Pestigo fire is this:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The initial blast will likely be lesser, but the resulting fire will largely depend upon how quickly the reaction of the nation is.

Thanks for the information. That's really useful.
No problem. That's what I'm here for.
So DZA, how big are we talking with this ring of fire thing?
Nothing set in stone yet, but I'm thinking the radius of it shall expand out from Zanzetkuken's immediate location at the moment of casting to some point roughly around the thousand mile mark. A large enough area of effect to be fitting of the title 'Worldfire', I'd say.

Draw a pentagram around the ghost if possible and bind it.

Gman, will the Entity do its own fighting? Or will it hide behind lesser void beings?
Little bit of both. The Entity is something of a predator by nature, so in that regard it would enjoy "hunting" but probably not straight up conflict. I'm thinking ambushes in the dark type thing. The hunting would be more of a hobby for it than its sole drive though, so you could still expect it to work a lot through others.

Also, should the switch from Dark to Light Zanzetkuken be mandated by you, DZA? I think it should.
Because then his plans will really be fucked with.

Jorn, being a squishy wizard without so much as a basic fireball spell, will likely work through his demons. Or his human followers.

Jorn, being a squishy wizard without so much as a basic fireball spell, will likely work through his demons. Or his human followers.
If you want to be risky about it, there's also probably some sort of demonic ritual you could perform on yourself to beef up a bit.

Summon a lesser demon, skin it, send it back, wear it's skin until it becomes your own. Only a negligible chance of that backfiring horribly.

I have a sudden image of a demon the size of the house appearing within the circle.
...That could work. After all, the ghost can't continue to haunt the house if there's no house left to haunt.
Keep in mind, though, that there are ritual circles for many other uses than just that of summoning. So for future reference, if Jorn really wanted, he would probably be able create a ritual circle for the specific purpose of binding/entrapping something, and not have to worry about that something inadvertently ending up as an offering in an unintended summoning ritual.

Yep. One of the main reasons I try to keep track of the progression of everyone's capabilities and behaviors and whatnot is so that it's always possible for Chosen Ones to expand their horizons, or even be totally reinvented while in-game.
Perhaps after he's got the whole ghost problem sorted out, Jorn should go sign up for some karate lessons...

Or even follow Xanmyral's somewhat questionable advice and go all Buffalo Bill on some poor, unsuspecting helldweller. I won't judge.
...
Also, should the switch from Dark to Light Zanzetkuken be mandated by you, DZA? I think it should.
Because then his plans will really be fucked with.
Heh, I'd already been thinking about that. Especially with the possible division into five separate personalities instead of just two. It's not something I think should be sudden, but rather, a slow, steady progression to better represent Light Zanzetkuken's loss of control as a single, unified entity, and the growing autonomy of those he shares his body with. When/if Dark is accepted as an official Chosen One, for example, he shouldn't to simply continue to be a mode that Zan switches over to whenever he feels like doing something that goes against his normal set of morals, but instead become an entirely different, opposing character than he actually has to struggle to overcome. A rival Chosen One with their own separate ambitions and reasons for wanting to become a god, that just so happens to be stuck inside the same body.
For a while, Zan should be able to switch between personalities at will. Later on, every now and then one might overpower another, and unexpectedly take control of their shared physical form. Further on down the road, it may become a serious challenge for any one personality to retain control for more than a few hours at a time.
When I do Moderator VS Langley Round Two, should I pack in the Arrow IV missiles?
You should follow one of my personal guidelines for life, and do whatever makes for a more badass story to tell later.

Actually, I wasn't doing this. The first time, he was annoyed and exasperated to the point that Dark took advantage of it to rip away control. The other time, Light left and became busy elsewhere, so Dark snatched control. The only time I am switching off now is when one side becomes too weak or overwhelmed with emotions that strengthen the other side, and when either side falls asleep/contacts DZA telepathically. Through that way, I'm killing off one of the main methods of contact with the rest of the chosen ones at the current time, because neither side really wants to lose control.

Not that I judge Zan. Unpredictable stuff like that always spikes my interest and makes things more FUN for me. I do love the unpredictable and the wonderful potential for flair that accompanies it, if played off well.
Although the purpose of this trial / game is in no way simply to entertain the great Gman and or the Gman's affiliated online personas, I appreciate your efforts wholeheartedly. ;D
Reflectively, I question why I didn't simply name my forum profile Gman instead of gman8181. Alas, the opportunity has long since passed and the prospect of creating a new profile here does not particularly appeal to me.

It would probably be most effective to use a combination of the two. Going purely destruction or unification would be pretty difficult either way if you limited yourself to only taking actions corresponding directly to your goal.
By which I mean-
If I was aiming for unification, I'd probably be killing off non allied groups and individuals in addition to trying to make my own faction more powerful.
If I was aiming for destruction, I'd probably be trying to get groups or individuals to work with me towards destroying my enemies in addition to just... destroying my enemies.
-So either way, it would be easier to use a little bit of both, with the end result, in my opinion, being somewhat less of a deciding factor towards how difficult things are.

So I'm curious, what does the destruction goal specifically require? The destruction of the human race? Aren't some of the contestants human, thus required to kill themselves if going the destruction route, or are they excluded?I guess they'd win by unification of the sole survivor. :P

I'd say it depends a lot on what the capabilities of a given Chosen One are. Certain abilities, skills, traits ect. can definitely make a Chosen One more suited to accomplishing one goal over the other.
While I'll admit that killing someone is generally an easier task than converting them to your cause, there's a good chance the difficulty could shift later on, when those focusing primarily on Extermination gain enough notoriety to become passionately hated enemies of whatever remains of humanity, and following those who are focused primarily on Unification starts looking like a pretty decent alternative to being slaughtered into extinction.
So I'm curious, what does the destruction goal specifically require? The destruction of the human race?

Pretty much what Vgray said. Those chosen to compete in the trial are elevated to a status above that of normal mortals (not that a lot of them were really all that normal to begin with...), and thus do not count toward the Extermination goal.

Hm. Does that mean that if one where to do a mass exodus of humans from Earth to another planet, that would qualify as satisfying the extermination clause? It seems to pretty specifically key in on 'humans inhabiting Earth,' so it makes me curious as to if that's open to interpretation.
EDIT: Then again, I don't think the contestants can leave Earth, so it's probably a non-option.

Good observation. Sending the whole of mankind to some other realm/planet would technically count as eliminating it from the Earth, and therefore could indeed be considered a rather roundabout way of achieving the Extermination goal.
EDIT: Then again, I don't think the contestants can leave Earth, so it's probably a non-option.
While the Earth has been clearly established as the main playing field of the trial, Chosen Ones are not at all forbidden from traveling elsewhere should they have a means of doing so. Though I can't say that running off to cause havoc at the far end of some alternate dimension will be very conducive to one's ultimate victory and ascension to godhood.

It's nothing to be too worried about, of course; I'm sure the peculiar feeling is merely the simple result of an agitating lack of solitude in combination with a steady buildup of unresolved personal regrets, leading to an amplification of my ever-present desire to separate myself from the ignorance and imperfections of the world. It sure as hell doesn't make getting through each day any easier, though.

The well wishes are much appreciated, my friend. You need not worry; my situation will improve soon enough. After all, this time of distress is, like all times before it, fleeting in the grander perspective of things.
I oft make an effort to avoid letting the annoyances of personal life interfere too much with the running of this game, but needless to say, that can sometimes be a bit of a challenge.

That's what I've been saying for years. Yet you would be utterly shocked by just how many fools choose to scoff at this undeniable truth and challenge my obvious superiority, instead of prostrating themselves before me to praise and worship the very ground I stand upon like any reasonably respectful individual would.
I swear, people these days have no sense of humility whatsoever...

It has been running for over a year.

I know it's a terrible thing to be proud of, but I guess I'm just elated that the game has been able to survive this long with such a pitifully slow rate of advancement...let's just pretend it's due to all the vast, mind-boggling intricacies that must be taken into account in order to run a game with such unprecedented levels of depth, freedom and immersion, rather than an embarrassing lack of control over the events/happenings in my personal life and inexcusable procrastination habits.

I suppose I could do it. Though starting up a TVTropes page for my own game feels a tad pretentious, and I'm sure most of the people on this forum already know how much I despise pretentiousness.

Oh, you need not worry about me. More bogged-down with highly irksome issues than I'd like at the moment, but nothing beyond what I'm capable of handling. As a matter of fact, in all the months I've spent at my current location, I've not had a single serious injury or threat against my life, and so far only one indecent in which the cops were called on me. So in that regard at least, I'd say I'm doing quite well.
Til then, I hope you all will continue to be content in simply musing over all of theterrible, awfulglorious ways in which your respective Chosen Ones shall forever change the course of humanity.
I'm half wondering what would happen if all of the chosen ones wound up forming an X-Com organization in defiance of the rulings you laid out, neither unifying or destroying humanity.
I have a few vague contingency plans set aside for just such an occasion, though you're perfectly free to attempt such a thing if you wish. Hell, you could even take it a step further and actively seek to destroy/overthrow me. With an immense amount of effort and some absurdly lucky rolls, you may even succeed. Nothing is set in stone.
Aaanyway, got most the update done. It's turning out just a tad longer than I thought it would. Will sit down and finish the rest as soon as I have the time.

Like I said, no biggie. Besides, I'm in no position to rush your guys' actions considering how long it can take me just to post the damn results for 'em.
I wonder how long it's been in game time since Jorn last did something?
Around 40 minutes, I think.

Quote from: Jorn's last action results
Jorn Darkmane
After ceaselessly chanting away for close to an hour straight, Jorn eventually decides that it would probably be best to move things along and send the apparition off on its not-so-merry way, so that both he and the family can finally put all this terrible ghost battling business to rest...
Of course, if it were that simple, said apparition would have been long gone by now.
For what should be fairly obvious reasons, the ghost is quite adamant about keeping itself outside and away from the infernal realm of the damned. And, for roughly the past hour, it has been devoting every last iota of energy it can muster to doing just that; latching doggedly onto the fabric of the earthly plane, and resisting the unremitting power of the Chosen One's dark, banishing magics. If Jorn plans on ridding the house of this malevolent soul anytime soon, he'll have to figure out a way to buff up the potency of his dramatic yet as of right now insufficient ritual. Otherwise, the ghost may just prove formidable enough to outlast even the most determined of the warlock's efforts.
Idly standing around trying to figure out how to get rid of that gosh-darned ghost, I'd guess.

The Moderator strides up to the house, sniffing at the air like it was any different than the previous three attempts to find the damn house. The Moderator strolls up to the door whistling a jaunty tune. When he arrives he knocks on the door to be greeted by a tired looking woman.
"Ghost possession?"
The lady nods.
"5 minutes until I come in, I suggest everything not insured comes out at a safe distance."
5 minutes later...
The lady places down her scrapbook, as she looks at the mysterious man heft up a blue-silver tube and slot in a football shaped object in one end.
"What is that?" the lady asks, concern in her tone.
"an outdoor toy" he says as it launches right out the end to shoot right for a window. Two seconds later, the house explodes in a massive green fireball, annihilating anything that is touched by the alien fire.
and THAT is how you use Blaster Launchers in ghost annihilation. Because there is the right way, the wrong way and the Moderator Way

If put in that situation, I would probably get Dark in control, then have him summon a metric ton of spirits and ghosts under his command to mass rush the spirit...then tell them to all fight each other to the death for laughs. Maybe at the same time.

Well, any encounter with the supernatural will lead to TorZon learning magic, so the world's even more fucked, it'd likely try and fail to absorb the ghost and then learn of magic in order to eliminate it as a threat.
Hmm. Which would be worse: Torzon actually managing to absorb the ghost without failing, or Torzon learning magic?

Do you even have time for anything else? I feel like this game is arseloads of work.
Admittedly, I must often force myself to make time, for I am a man of many passions.
A tragic fate it is, being gifted with such great skills and ambitions, yet cursed never to have enough time to fully utilize or fulfill any of them...
As I've probably mentioned before, there's a lot to research and keep track of, and attempting to simulate an open, living world that accurately changes and reacts in accordance with the actions of each Chosen One is indeed a bit of a daunting task at times. Fortunately for us all, my love of writing and storytelling for the most part keeps me motivated enough to stay on top of it all.
Fuck I can't remember, does the detonation go off in 15 minutes or later?
You'll have officially pooled together enough mana to cast the Worldfire spell after the timer hits 9:50, so about 25 minutes left. Exciting, no?

Eh, the mechanic itself is a little clunky, but the only time it's any real trouble for me to manage is on the rare occasions that I forget when certain actions are supposed to be completed and have to start backtracking through updates. Now, having to remember how the timer relates to each of the different timezones everyone's in...that shit can get pretty tedious.

I was scared this game became ded.
Purge those blasphemous thoughts from your head, boy. As I have stated numerous times in the past, this adventure was created with the full intention of being seen through to the very end. I may end up having to invent an elixir of immortality just so that you can all live long enough for that to happen, but goddamn it we shall have a finale!
Yes, there will be slowdowns, there will be hiatuses, and there will be interruptions. My writing is not swift, nor my life steady. Yet even still, I attest that the only way this game shall ever be allowed to truly see death is by first reaching a proper conclusion!
Now, I will divulge that one of the big reasons behind the current update drought is that, after nearly a full year of somewhat haphazard travel across the western U.S., I (some time in early March) finally made arrangements to fly back to my most beloved Base of Operations on the 17th of May. This has left me with a considerable amount of important business to tend to in an increasingly small amount of time, which I cannot deny has granted my mind little room to focus on matters such as the running of this game.
While I'm hoping I'll be able to get the next update posted within the next few days, future game updates in general will likely continue to be iffy throughout at least the next month or so, as I suspect to have a fair bit of work awaiting me back home as well. Mark these words, however, for they are not said lightly:
So long as there are Chosen Ones to be tested and an Earth to be conquered, this game shall LIVE!!

Name: Dreamer Ghost (Also responds to Nightmare)
Sex: Male
Age: 4 years
Description: A grand warrior with body that surpasses any natural being alive. A hunter-killer robot crafted entirely out of biological parts. The greatest creation of Terminus’ artisans, which waged war against his masters and paid the price. Dreamer looks like a human outwardly, although most internal organs are unrecognizably twisted. His hair is black, wavy, reaching almost to his shoulders. His eyes are purple, and change colors in same way that his trench coat does. He has neither beard nor mustache.
He can be recognized by purple trench coat adorned with gold. Under the trench coat, military grade fireproof shirt, pants and boots can be seen. On his back, seemingly weightlessly hang his two swords, shaped like Talwars, but both roughly 45 inches long, made from material visually reassembling silver.
Origin:
Spoiler: Wall of text (click to show/hide)
Traits: Dreamer has infinite memory and the capabilities to use it as long as he has the book. He despises those that try to make choices for others, but honors those that try to inform others about ALL of their possibilities. He is suspicious of those more powerfull than himself, and always makes a plan on how to kill anyone he meets.

I have a feeling this guy and Jorn will have a complicated relationship if they ever meet.
As Jorn is entirely NOT immune to being stabed, any relationship will result in either Jorn staying in line (offering daemons with actual inteligence a trade for their services) or the relationship will end in somone dying. Not realy complicated.

Rampant creativity results in tons of unnecessary information. It also deviated slightly from the original ide (shapeshifter that lost most of his powers) but what the heck.
Worry not, my friend. You'll have no quarrels from me about the fruits of said rampant creativity. It actually does well to remind me of one reason why I love this game so much:
Each individual protagonist is easily interesting enough to be featured in their own standalone story.
Consider yourself on the waiting list for your own special vial of Shimmering Fluid™.

Pretty sure I fixed that a little while back, actually. Along with some horrendous grammatical errors my negligent past self could not have cared less about. Of course, all the quoted versions of the will still be broken.

I'm glad you had the patience to wait til you could write it here, then. It would've been a shame to miss such a fine tale of the Moderator's harrowing past adventures.
I'm particularly intrigued by some of the personal background info it provides; the fact that our dear Moderator has siblings on the planet brings so many fun possibilities to mind...
Kudos on the name choice, by the way. Not something I'd have ever thought of, yet the more I consider it, the more fitting it sounds.

Only if said hammer will have "BAN" writen/engraved in large clear letters on it somwhere.
Well, funny you should mention that, buried under tons of stuff there is probably a banhammer. You never know with the Moderator.
Like the time he made a 14-ton combat mech out of a compact 100 fusion reactor, legs, arms and a Leopard 2A7 Turret
And then there's the the Arquebus rifle he made, and the Arbalest DMR. his proper cool spaceship, the Meteor, along with many, many ridiculous projects he's made.

Anyone want me to do more Moderator sotries? I've got a few ideas here and there, no particular order
Please, go ahead, reveal more of your weaknesess and related potential kidnapping targets.

My character is currently evil.

I guess my character's got some pretty black and white morals as well. I mean I killed a bunch of dudes because I sensed they were evil, without even knowing what kind of evil it was. :v

On a different note, are kings always lawful on the lawful/chaotic axis?

Evil as in 'muahahahahadarksidemakemypenissobig' evil to boot.
Wanting to change that to "Superpowered Trolling" brand of evil after the fireball. Any tips?
Edit:
Can someone explain how I thought this game mixture was a good idea? (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139457.0)

Duelists of Roses? I... I have never heard of this amazing feat of expanding upon base mechanics of yugioh. Is this a yugioh zexal thing, or something seperate entirely?
No. no. That game was released in 2003 (except Japan, who got it in 2001), long before Zexal was thought of.
Here's an LP video that explains stuff: http://youtu.be/YCNahqBtUew?t=19m55s

Sadly, I will be away from my PC and decent internet speed for the rest of the week. But you have answered enough for me to know that I have something to look forward to when I get back. I may or may not be able to participate in your game depending on how throaughtly one needs to know those rules to participate.

5 minutes til my character has enough mana to make the most populated part of China burn.
Actually, because your action post said either China or India, I had flipped a coin, and the coin said India. So if you have your heart set on China as the target for your Worldfire spell, I'd recommend letting me know now.
I guess my character's got some pretty black and white morals as well. I mean I killed a bunch of dudes because I sensed they were evil, without even knowing what kind of evil it was. :v
Messed up as that is, the image of Havel standing around in the middle of a razed encampment, surrounded by the bloody corpses his many slain foes, suddenly thinking to himself, "Huh, maybe I should have asked if they were bad guys first..." Amuses me immensely.
Jorn hasn't really had a chance to establish his morality has he?
I think so far it's been established that Jorn is a somewhat grumpy but generally kind dude. Which, in terms of moral goodness, is more than can be said about most of his fellow participants right now.
You know, it really doesn't bode too well for the planet when the demon-commanding warlock is the nicest guy in the whole character roster...
On a different note, are kings always lawful on the lawful/chaotic axis?
I, as a king, am the law. So yes.

Oh, I thought it was heading to China. My mistake.

More recently I was considering leaving the forum but I still want to get on this before I do. :P
I'm still eagerly looking forward to seeing The Entity raise other-dimensional hell on an unsuspecting Earth when the time is right, so don't you go disappearing on me anytime soon.

Yeah, we already tried that. I don't think it worked out too well. Hey, what's up with the different part of the timeline from the DZA games moderator?

I can only conclude Zan is referring to the other moderator.
Oh yeah. That guy.
Still got around a day for him to arrive, right?

Next update, at whatever point I get around to finishing it (stupid life, always getting in the way of my forum games...), should be of pretty decent size, as it will contain results for Zan, Havel, Jorn, and The Moderator, hopefully making it somewhat worth the absurdly long wait I'm ashamed you must all yet again endure.
Post by: Xantalos on August 07, 2014, 01:39:14 am
We just need to find some way to resolve dialogue quicker than at present so the time meter can keep moving forward.
Of course, as the guy who's taking an 8-hour action, I'm saying this entirely in self-interest.
