Gooooooooooodevening ladies and gentleman and welcome to:
Dead Man Running!
Earth-3's most popular game show!
Our contestants come to us from all corners of the planet and beyond; destined for death, driven by desire or just plain crazy!
And here upon these hallowed grounds of sportsmanship they will compete for the ultimate prize: To have their greatest desire fulfilled, whatever it may be!
But such things do not come easy folks! Need I remind you of last week's show and its staggering 100% fatality rate?
Our competitors will face adversity the likes of which they have never seen as they do battle against our Challenge courses and against each other! In the end, the first to 50 points is the winner!
Now, lets meet our EIGHT new contestants!
Ohhh, Don't feel bad, viewers! Only eight will be chosen today, but any fatalities will be replaced by next week! Keep sending in those entry forms! Because by the end of this show, at least one person will be dead!
And viewers (Ie non-playing people reading this thread) make sure to make your opinion known! Cheer for your favorites! Boo your hated contestants! Message the production staff about what you want to see in the Contestant vending machines! Your actions may be the difference between life and death for these contestants! Doesn't that just give you a raging...sense of self worth?
I THOUGHT SO!

All right! I wanted to join ER, but was quite... intimidated. Wound up dumping the char sheet.
Charsheet when I'm not drugged and tired.
Don't worry, just a nightly prescription to help with my super tense muscles, may cause dizziness and or drowsiness; the colored lines are an effect of the drowsiness and not of the drugs, trust me, I get those even without drugs.
Edit: That gives me an idea for a character. Might not wait until morning afterall.

A group of men and one woman-each dressed in a red or blue jumpsuit, with a high tech looking cannon device affixed to their left hand- are lead out onto the overblown, garish stage through the tinsel ringed center door and lined up in front of the studio audience and the dozen glass eyes of the cameras. The host, a man dressed in a white suit that shimmers like motor oil on water, holding a cane that looks like a chrome billiard ball affixed to the top of a silver rod, walks briskly in front of them and smiles toward the camera. He's too pale and too thin, his skin stretched too tight on his skull by the too wide grin he's wearing. His teeth are whiter then a bleached albino and sharper then a prismatic blade; the little black eyes seated deep in his sunken sockets are dead as tinted glass. He's a vainglorious predator, a shark in a starched suit, a razor blade hidden in a fancy folded cloth napkin. He twirls his cane and then plants it firmly on the ground before he starts speaking.
As you know, our contestants are split into two teams, the BLUE BARBARIANS and the RED RAVAGERS! Our first contestant is on the blue team, He gestures at the first man in the line, his name is Cromwell, and he came here to Die a beautiful death. The host looks back at Cromwell and smiles even wider. What an admirable cause and a wonderful dream.
Next, on the red team, is Allen. Allen wants to murder is friends and never work again. A simple dream, but one I think we can all understand.
After Him, on the blue team, is Larry. He's here because he wants money for his cousin. Oh, how despicably dull.
Then, we have Mason, on the blue team. He wants to be a Magistar. Oh, such lofty ambitions. Such dreams of power. The Host's smile fades to a slight grin and his eyes grow wide as he glares at Mason. A man could do anything he wanted as a Magistar. No law, no social boundaries, no gods or reprisals. I wonder what this man would do in the privacy of his palace. And who he'd do it to. The smile snaps back like a beartrap being sprung.
Next, red team's Navarro. He wants a robot. What a simple thing he is.
Then, Piecewise on blue. What a familiar name. Hmm
After that, Magarth, on red. He wants, He double checks the card, Cabbage. Well. To each their own.

........
Welcome back! The host shouts as the camera pans down and away from his face and toward a large, rectangular arena divided in half by black line painted on the floor. One half has been painted red, the other blue, and the corresponding teams are stationed in their color coded half. Placed carefully on the center line are 5 balls; one white, one red, one blue, one yellow, one black. 10 foot tall metal walls enclose the arena, and a cross shaped, clear plastic walkway hangs overhead. The host stands at the center of this walkway, arms spread in a wide, inviting gesture toward the stacked rows of audience members looking down into the arena from their seats.
Now, I'm sure you all know the rules already, but lets explain it to the contestants, just in case they've forgotten. Each contestant has what we call a Shackle. It's that black device on their hand. And oh, what a wonderful device it is. Not only is it a wonderful, multifunctional weapon that they can chose to use at any time to gain an advantage, but it also keeps track of how many points they've won so far! But of course, there's a catch. Firing the weapon costs points! He places his hands on his cheeks in an exaggerated expression of distress. And whats more, we don't tell them what the weapon does! All they know is that there's a trigger for each of their fingers, and that using them in different combinations does different things! Or maybe nothing at all. What fun!
Of course, Before they can use it, they have to get some points! And thats where these games come in. Today we're playing a fan favorite: Maul-Ball! A modified version of that hold schoolyard standby, dodgeball. But our version is a bit different, for reasons our contestants shall soon discover. Now, as always, the winning team will be granted 1 point each. The third place will be granted 2, the second 3 and the first place will get 5 points AND a prize! Such bounty! But the first one eliminated, oh, what misfortune! That unfortunate contestant will have to play a penalty game. But enough talk, lets get down to the action!
The camera pans down to look at the two teams, lines of colored men standing near the back wall, ready to run forward and grab the balls.
On your, mark! Get set! GO!

Oh well, I thought of a better character anyway. Scrap that first character I posted in reply #1.
Name: Destio Dravani
Description: 19 year old teenage boy. Average height. Spiky black hair. Brown eyes. His body is bruised and scarred in places.
Reason for signing up:
Short version: Enough money to take care of his and his little sister's problems.
Long version: Parents died in an accident when Destio and his little sister Amy were young, leaving them nothing but debt. He has been working on menial jobs or in factories ever since to make ends meet. When his sister was diagnosed with a rare neurodegenerative disease he had to take a loan from some shady individuals to get enough money to pay for Amy's treatment. He worked hard and tried various schemes to find the cash needed to pay off the loan sharks. Unfortunately, there's a dearth of money gaining opportunities on Earth-3, at least for a man with his skills. So with the debt collectors getting more "persuasive", the police investigating his activities and the money needed to continue Amy's treatment running dry, he decided to join The Game, his last opportunity to keep himself and his little sister alive.

Hm. Might as well see if I can't tie this back to ER somehow. Specifically, hitting Random Page and seeing what characters come up.
"Victor"? ...No background listed.
Grate? ...Alright.
Appearance: A young man (19), with brown hair and eyes. Tall (a bit over 6 feet) but pretty thin. Unkempt and not too healthy.
Background: The youngest child of a very poor family on a planet heavily segregated by wealth and social class. He never had a good life; his older siblings were lost one by one, joining or being killed by gangs, getting in trouble with the law, or just vanishing. Not long after his youngest older brother got sent to the HMRC, his mother fell into a deep depression; she never recovered, and eventually committed suicide. This didn't help his father's mood; he took his depression in a different direction, falling in with the wrong crowd and eventually getting gunned down. His remaining siblings threw him out, due to not being able to feed everyone. Barn tried various ways to feed himself, but he wound up sacrificing more than he gained each time. Finally, he heard about an opportunity to join Dead Man Running; he signed up as soon as he could steal a pen.
Yup, he's had a crappy life. He blames his parents' naming skills.
Reason for signing up: Nothing left to lose (except enemies), everything to gain.

An air horn sounds as soon as The Host shouts go, and the teams spring into action. Navarro and Larry break into dead sprints, charging ahead of their teammates toward the center line with their hands greedily extended. They reach for the balls, but as they grasp them, they over shoot the line and start to step into the opposing team's area. The entire center black line jerks violently up into the air, a metal plate on powerful hydraulics, and catches the over eager contestants on the chin. They go tumbling backwards as the center line jerks back into place and the balls-bounced up with the line-go rolling. Kriellya runs in, jumps over larry's prone body, and scoops up the black ball before turning around and running back into the far end of blue's area. Piecewise, in no appreciable hurry, saunters over and picks up the blue ball. He holds it up by his head a moment, picking his target, and then hurls it at Navarro, who is still scrambling to get up. The instant the ball leaves piecewise's hands and passes the center divider, its round surface separates into dozens of small, hexagonal metal plates. The instant the ball makes contact with Navarro, the plates touching him jerk violently forward, sending him tumbling head over heels and the ball flying off in the opposite direction and smashing into a wall near Kri on the far side of the blue zone.
OH! It looks like we have our loser! It's Navarro of the Red Ravagers, taken out by the blue impact ball! Tough break Navarro.
Navarro, surprisingly unhurt by being flung across the room like a stone across a pond, gets solemnly to his feet and leaves via a door in the back corner of his zone.
While all this is happening, Allen gets his feet tangled at the start and face plants onto the hard metal floor, Magarth seems stands stock still and stone faced, Mason tries to run serpentine and just makes a hard right turn into the wall, and Larry just barely manages to scramble to his feet after that hydraulic uppercut.
The black ball is in Kriellya's hands, while the blue and white are on blue's side. Yellow and Red are on the Red side, but so far remain unclaimed.
Audience
A conspicuous man in flowing red robes, sitting on the extreme end of the red side of the field, shouts in a high, keening voice:
Teach the blue bastards a lesson, red! I expect a good show this time!
And quickly rifles through his pockets to see how many Deadman Dollars he'd been given with his ticket.
You get 10 whole Deadman dollars!

Mason watches as the yellow ball sails over his head. "Thanks for returning that." He shouts over to the red side, before going to pick up the ball again.
Pick up the YELLOW ball and throw it at the last remaining RED guy. Try to time it so that it is thrown at around the same time as Larry if Larry throws a ball, but from a different angle.

Larry and Mason both grab their chosen ball and hurl them at Allen at the same time, but from different angles. Allen manages to dodge Larry's blue ball, but catches the Mason's yellow ball straight to the chest and contorts violently as it pumps electricity into his body. After a few seconds he finally collapses, still twitching, to the ground with a fresh electrical burn on his chest and smoke leaking from a black scorch mark in his jump suit.
A loud airhorn sounds and the center divider jerks up into the air, separating the two zones. The Host, high up on his vantage point, opens his arms to the crowd and gestures wildly as they applaud.
It's all over folks, and the Blue team has won! Thats right, with half it's members remaining, the Blue Barbarians have secured a tidy victory for themselves. And not only that, but two of their members, He gestures down toward Larry and Mason, Have won first and second place!
The Host vaults off the clear catwalk and drops 10 feet to land effortlessly next to Mason and Larry. At the same time, Allen, still looking only semi-conscious, is carried out by two burly stage hands, his arms around their shoulders and his feet dragging limply behind him. He is dragged over next to Mason and Larry so that they form a neat little line and the Host steps in front of them, still smiling up at the audience.
Of course, third place goes to Allen. He gets himself a whole 2 points! The Host pats Allen on the shoulder Good effort. Second place, and three points, goes to Mason here. He survived just as long as Larry, but wasn't nearly as proactive. Remember Mason, fortune favors the bold. And finally, in first place, He stops here for a moment to motion for more applause Larry! Congratulations Larry! You not only get a whole FIVE points, but one randomly selected prize! And that prize is... A drum roll plays and the Host contorts his face into an exaggerated mask of anticipation A BRAND NEW REVOLVER! He whips the revolver out of an inside pocket of his suit and holds it in the air for all to see.Yes, this chrome plated, double-action beauty comes complete with 6 hollow point rounds all loaded and ready for immediate use. And it's all yours, Larry. He hands the weapon to Larry. Use it in good health. He gives Larry a hard pat on the shoulder before smiling up at the cameras. Stay tuned folks, because after this commercial break, we've got Navarro in his punishment game!

Welcome back ladies and gentleman, To DEAD MAN RUNNING!
The camera pans out from The Host's grinning face to show a room that seems quite separated from the open arena of before. It's a long, brightly lit metal tunnel, with the Host on one end, in front of some sort of machine, and Navarro all the way down at the other end, standing behind a yellow and black line painted on the ground.
Now, before the break, played a nice round of Maul-ball and Navarro down there He points down the hall Was eliminated first. And we all know what that means: He gets to play a PUNISHMENT GAME! And today's game is called Glass Cutter! The premise is very simple: Behind me, here, He points to the machine behind him with his cane, Is a pitching machine! It is designed to use a pair of spinning wheels to throw baseballs for batters to practice their swings on. Well, our engineers have modified it a bit. Now, it throws these! He holds up a foot long, jagged glass shard, which appears to have simply been roughly broken off of a pane of glass. Fun huh? Now, when I press the start button, this machine is going to start hurling shards of glass similar to this one down this hall towards Navarro. And all he has to do to complete this game is to catch one! Simple, right? How he does it isn't important, all thats important is that he catches it and holds on to it for 5 seconds without it breaking or touching the ground. Now then, NAVARRO! he shouts down the hall, GET READY! GET SET! GOOOOOOO! The host presses a button on the machine and, after a few seconds of the wheels spinning up to speed, the first shard is hurled down range with a horrifying hiss.

A thin guy who's spine is slightly visible under his belly scrambled out onto the bleachers, and collides with the guard rail. His lack of clothes beyond the classic heart-polka-dot boxers draws attention, knocking up a cloud of dust; the spectators within a few feet of him immediately fall into drug induced comas. Not really aware of his surroundings, he takes a seat, oblivious to the fact that it was already taken by some guy. He flops back into the dude's chest and stares straight ahead, pupils so wide there aren't any whites to his eyes. He sees the machine on the field warming up, and starts humming at the same pitch.
How many Deadman Dollars did he walk in with?

Navarro quickly removes his jumpsuit and, as best as he can, ties it onto the shackle, wadding it up on one side to act as a cushion. The audience applauds the entire time as he strips naked.
Several shards sail by before one hits his cloth target. It shatters the sprays glass down on him, giving him a myriad of small cuts across his chest and arms. A second smashes and and then a third sails low and catches him below the shackle, carving almost bone deep into the flesh just above his elbow. Navarro grits his teeth and keeps his arm raised while blood pours down his arm and pools around his shoulders and head. The crowd cheers louder. Finally, one hits the cushion and doesn't shatter, but doesn't stick either. It falls toward the ground. Navarro jerks his other hand up and just barely manages to catch the shard, cutting his hand slightly as he does. He quickly pulls the shard back and lays it flat on his chest, covering his head with his arms and waiting while the crowd slowly counts to 5.
And he's done it! What a cleaver lad too! Clearly, next time, we need to be shooting them down at about ankle height, eh folks?
When we come back, it will be time for the Head to Head challenge! Stay tuned!

Welcome back! The camera zooms out from the Host's smile and reveals that both teams are now back on the stage they played Maul-Ball on, though the pit they played in is gone, and they are now standing on a wide, empty stage. Each team is clustered on one side of the stage, some of their members with still bloody bandages wrapped around wounds. Magarth looks particularly bad off, with most of his head hidden beneath a mask of white, slowly reddening bandages. We're just gearing up for the Head to Head challenge as we speak. Bets are now opening and will remain open until the challenge begins!
NOW! Each team must select one member to compete against the other team's chosen combatant in an unknown challenge! The winner will net points for himself and his team! The loser will face shame, ridicule and whatever consequences there may be! He points at both teams at the same time. You have 60 seconds to decide who will represent you, starting now! If you can't decide, we'll let the audience pick for you! The clock is ticking!

The Wasted Bastard slowly becomes aware of the person underneath him starting to move, coming out of their OD stupor. He mildly backhands the guy, knocking him out with a dose of... whatever he's covered with. He slowly leans forward, then stands up to lean over the rail and stare down at the contestants. He waves over some staff and asks,
Hey, could I get something for this headache? One of those needles with the purple stuff. I got these... I dunno, is this money? ...I could give you 'money' for the purple stuff. And, uh... take the rest of it and put it on that blue person.

He casually walks over to the knife, and picks it up.
"Including mind games. And violent games."
He walks over to where Navarro is struggling, and nods to his allies.
"But I dislike losing them. Hold his neck still; I don't want to miss."
He then plunged the knife down.

OOC comments time!
Yeah, I'm enjoying this tremendously. I also like this solution to the typical waitlist problem of 'No one is dying, so no one is cycling in, so no one on the waitlist is actually hanging around in thread and having a good time :P I also like the betting system that allows waitlisters to get some power before entering the game, so they aren't just thrown in with no points and no chance (at least in the later stages
Who would have thought guaranteed death would be a good thing XD Question on that though, will it always be the lowest point totals up for elimination, or was that just how this one works? ))
I wonder though, how will a winner be picked if people get replaced each episode? Or is there a set amount of episodes?
As either the OP or one of the following posts says, winner is first to 50 points!
((Who needs subtlety? Also, I'm assuming we don't need our character sheets in our posts between episodes. Should I edit it in anyway? Also, sorry about any typos, posting from phone.))
Ehhh, I'm posting it in. Better safe then sorry, since I'm assuming PW just isn't keeping the sheets locally for his convenience. (Which probably means he wouldn't notice if we slowly shifted our stats around as the game progressed :P I recommend not doing this. I imagine punishments would be swift and painful.)

(( Uhh... PW, you may want to give us a better sense of time XD
I'm guessing ~an hour per action right now?
Could you clarify whether it's just *he* doesn't get medical care, or if it is *everyone* doesn't get medical care? Cause I'm assuming it's the latter, in which case we *really* needed to know that it was going to fail now))
Uhhh.... right then... try again or try and get his finger? Cause I might be willing to help with that... if you can convince me to get within a meter of him ever again...
Say, what's your punishment for this anyway? Something horrible, I imagine...
"If I fail, then I lose one of my own fingers, and probably one of the ones inside the shackle, which would be really bad since, you know, you need your fingers to operate all of its functions."
Apologize to Kriellya for this, then tell her she deserves it for taking my guts.
Then chop her pinky off with the glass shard.
Go use a piece of cloth to stop the bleeding afterward. Hope I don't pass out from pain XD

To the stadium! DD dollars get?
Also, could I bet 1 DD on Red team winning, and 1 DD on blue team winning? (with a *3 payout, betting the same amount of DD on either team will ensure a net gain of at least once the bet on a single team (3X payout, 1X bet on each team, 3X - 2*(1X) = 1X). Are we allowed to do this? Seems like gaming the system.
I'm gonna go with no. Otherwise yeah, strategic betting on various things could give you money regardless. In a perfect world, I would run the numbers for every episode and give different payouts for each bet (chances of survival lower if the player is injured, increasing payouts if they actually survive. etc). But I doubt my knowledge of statistics is good enough to do that without massive errors.

8 DD
2 on crom and 2 on mag to die. Not the same as being eliminated, by the way. Not 5x payout. It's basically the same as betting on survival. Elimination bets are betting who will die due to the elimination round. Thats why they pay off so much, they're difficult to predict.
Get DD.
Bet 1 DD on Xen being eliminated.
Bet 1 DD on Cromwell being eliminated.
EDIT: Oh, can we do multiple bets (not sure what's the English term for that)? For example, bet 1DD on one player winning AND another one loosing at the same game and we only collect if both of these things happen but if both of these things happen, we get a greatly multiplied payout. Not the best betting strategy but it could give you lots of DD if you're lucky.
I believe that, in English, it's called a Parlay bet. I suppose...I really need to get someone who knows more about betting and statistics to work as the bookie for this. You know, handle the cash, betting, and run the numbers and such. Anyone want that job? I'd be willing to give you a cut of the total profits from DD betting, which you could use to influence the game. All applicants welcome.

Gooooooooooodevening ladies and gentleman and welcome to:
Dead Man Running!
Earth-3's most popular game show!
Our contestants come to us from all corners of the planet and beyond; destined for death, driven by desire or just plain crazy!
And here upon these hallowed grounds of sportsmanship they will compete for the ultimate prize: To have their greatest desire fulfilled, whatever it may be!
On last episode we saw our first four way elimination round AND Disemboweling in quite a while! You voted to let Cromwell live and he's back tonight to continue trying to reach his goal of 50 points and a wish for whatever his heart desires! But before we begin, there's a new member of The Blue Barbarians we need to introduce! His name is Xen and he's a long time fan of the show! I wonder if he's brave or simply foolish? We shall see, won't we?
The camera pans out from The Host, pauses to stare at Xen for a few seconds as he's introduced, and then pans up to view the line of contestants as a whole.
Our Team challenge for tonight requires a team leader from each side! Teams, pick your leader! And dear studio audience, now is the time to place your bets! Don't Dawdle!

"Couldn't hurt to give us a bit of an advantage." Mason says, drawing his revolver and aiming it towards the red team's target board.
Shoot the red team leader with my revolver. Aim for his stomach area, since that is hopefully in about the same place throughout the whole spin. Or aim for whatever part of the red team leader is in the middle of that spinning board, if it is not the stomach for some reason. Then go and grab a knife.

Chances are he'll survive those gunshot wounds, assuming he isn't injured any more and someone can put some pressure on the wounds relatively soon.
((It sounds like he may not bleed out by the end of this challenge. Should I shoot him again? Also, must fight urge to shoot defenseless Cromwell.))
"Just shut up and bleed out already!" Mason shouts towards the red team leader.
"Sorry, I got carried away there." He responds to Larry. He grabs a knife from one of his teammates and aims for his team's board, throwing it to try to get points without hurting Kriellya.
Get one of the knives on the Blue Team side, but not the one in front of the spinning board or either of the ones in the board. Throw the knife at one of the medium point areas. Try not to hit Kriellya.
EDIT: Also, on the off chance somebody attacks me, get out of the way. Juxtapose teammates or table between self and attackers.

Considering it gimped your speed, I'd say some crying might be in order.
Mason takes some gauze from Kri's medkit and bandages up his leg. It stops the bleeding, at the very least.

Larry pulls the knife out of Kriellya's neck and immediately begins hacking at her shoulder joint, jamming the blade in and twisting and ripping until he can finally tear it the rest of the way free.
He does a spinning hammer toss of the limb straight up into the crowd were it smacks into the head of the guy who asked for it.
Tsafi sat hunched forwards watching the bloodshed from a rather poor seat, the best he could find seeing as he'd been late.
He frowned slightly at the start of the round when the revolver came into play, but other than that his expression remained unchanged until one of the contestants fired a stream of acid from his shackle. As an ex-assassin who intended to participate in these games, he watched it intently, interested to know just what the weapons were capable of.
Tsafi managed a sympathetic wince as Team Blue took out their own leader, but remained silent even as the audience around him went into a frenzy when the host asked for their choice of winner. He looked somewhat uneasy.
"An ironic ending," he mused aloud, mostly to himself once the noise had died down, "To a rather cruel challenge."
He found it hard to enjoy watching such bloodshed when he knew he could very well be strapped to one of those boards himself before long. "Such is the nature of the game, I suppose."
>Get Dollars when appropriate. Watch the audience around me.

AND WELCOME BACK! The camera holds on the Host's face for a moment before zooming out to show a dark stage with the host standing in a single bright spotlight. Next to him is a large backboard.
Our penalty game today is a nice simple one, which I'm sure you're all familiar with. It's called hangman! And the audience is the one who gets to play!
As he says this, another spotlight flicks on and shows Xen, suspended over a deep pit by a set of restraints. There is one restraint for each arm and leg, and one for his torso. They're like rigid metal beams with clamps on the end holding his limbs. Just above his head is a glittering, silver loop of something very thin, like a noose made of piano wire.
Our dear audience gets to chose the letters, and for each mistake, we remove one of poor xen's supports. If we remove them all, well, at that point it's really just a question of if his neck breaks or if he's decapitated. Shall we play?
The Host uses a piece of red chalk to draw 10 spaces on the board, like so:

Oh well. The Host says, waving his hand at Xen. The spotlight turns off and Xen vanishes into darkness as a bottle arcs in from somewhere in the crowd. From the dark there's the sound of glass hitting something and Xen shouting. Someone cheers from the audience and shouts back.

Inventory: Replacement leg, replacement hand, Katana/saw-saber sword, Athlete suit. Also, that first aid kit from Kriellya's corpse.
Move away from the others and gingerly remove the bandages to check on my shoulder. If it is festering or for some reason the post-episode medical care didn't fix it and I can't get medical care, treat it with antibiotics or disinfect it with rubbing alcohol and rebandage it with stuff from the first aid kit I took from Kriellya. If I don't still have that first aid kit for some reason, buy another for 2 points and treat the shoulder. After treating it, or if it doesn't need treatment and isn't healed, put new bandages on and wear the Athlete Suit. Of my shoulder somehow miraculously healed, then forego the bandages and put on the suit. Also, if under attack for some reason, defend self with sword. Because paranoia is my friend.
((That sword description makes me think it is some sort of saw or whip/chain sword. I hope it is. Also, I'm assuming I got medical care for my shoulder after the episode. And I'm glad I took Kriellya's medkit after she diedwas betrayed. I'm probably making too many assumptions, but I'm assuming I still have it.))

"It's healthy, okay," Tsafi cried in an anguished voice, seated at the kitchen table amidst a scattered pile of food coupons, "And it fits in our budget- unlike that triple-cheese monstrosity I had to pay for the last time I let you two order your own dinner!" He sighed, slumping forwards in his seat as doors slammed in unison elsewhere in the house.
That could have gone better. Oh well, at least he had the living room to himself for now, while his sisters were off sulking.

Name: Mason Caldwell
Description: A middle-aged male with brown hair and brown eyes. He has a slightly muscular build and his whole body is covered with scars, a testament to the hard life he has lived.
Reason for signing up: He wants to be a Magister, to have all the power that comes with the position.

Mason remains silent, as though waiting for something.
Wait for the challenge to complete. Monitor that 360 degree vision Mason gets with the suit, and if anyone tries to take hostile action against Mason, use an offensive suit charge and the sword to separate their upoer body from their lower body. After the challenge completes, push the other button to try and deactivate the sword, keeping the blade and those crystalline growths pointed away from Mason. If the sword doesn't turn off, push that first button again to see if that works. Then drag Magarth to the medical bay. If there is no medical access, perform field surgery with the medical kit to stop the bleeding, because killing him wasn't Mason's objective.
((Hey PW, do I have to make the choice from my challenge reward now, or can I wait a bit? Also, I guess all I really have left in the medical kit are painkillers and suturing thread, right? And I wonder if one of Nyars boxes has an Olympian suit or that sword in it. Those would be neat.))

Now that the challenge is done, go watch TV. Keep paying attention to the 360 degree vision, mostly focusing on the members of red team, and if anyone attempts hostilities towards Mason for some reason, use an offensive charge and activate the sword to cut them in half.

Shoot anything in range. If the others try to board us, use an offensive charge to board them, activate the sword, and make with the slicing of the captain. Don't activate the sword until I'm on their ship. Also, you know, 360 degree vision, dodge, hope a defensive charge can take care of anything else..

((Actually, you want him to go for non-lethal attacks. You have bet 6DD on survival and 6DD on elimination.
If all 6 survive, you get ||6*1.5||-12=-3 DD.
If 5 survive and one is eliminated, you get ||5*1.5+1*5||-12=1 DD.
In any other case, you loose DD.
I bet one on each individual's survival, and one on their elimination.
I should get two DD for each individual survival bet if they pay out individually. PW could be a jerk and add all the half-dollars together instead of rounding individually, but that does little to harm the strategy itself; all I have to do is bet two DD on survival for each person. Just makes the strategy require a multiple of three rather than two. P=(2*1.5)s+(1*5)e-(e+s)*3
And I get five DD per person who dies, because 1*5=5. So if all six die, I get thirty DD- nearly three times my original investment, at zero risk.
Actually, even by your method... why would I want non lethal? Say two die, that's 4*1.5+2*5-12=4. Three dead gets me eight DD. Four, twelve. And, haha, get this- I only need five to give Beirus a point. At worst, I need to wait 'till next episode to get one DD to give him a point.
PW makes wonderful, wonderful games, but he is crap at making balanced systems. Sorry.
Saint might not be able to feel empathy himself, but I certainly feel it for him right now.

Reason for signing up: his mother thought it'd grow some hair on his chest at last.

Tsafi allows himself a satisfied smirk as he watches his victim topple into the arena, then casts a quick, wary glance around.
Nobody seems to be coming to avenge their bloodthirsty comrade, so he just shrugs, reaches into a pocket of his jacket and starts counting out a few coins, humming softly all the while. Nothing makes one feel so alive as ending the life of another!
>Get DD, make sure no-one's about to jump me.
Hang on, as happy as I am to have killed another player (seriously, I giggled like a moron as I read the result of my action), isn't the arena filled with water at the moment? Or did he land on a dry part, or drown?

Description: A guy who's so thin that his bones show, and his hips form a bowl in which stuff can be held. His stringy greasy hair is falling out in chunks, but reaches down to his lowest rib. His eyes bulge out like nothing you've ever seen, and dart this way and that without end. He's coated in a blue crystalline powder, probably from rolling in some drugs like a cat with catnip.

If a weasel attempts to poop on/otherwise harass me, throw the damn thing into the arena. Preferably at the Blue team.
If not, just find a good seat and watch the show, keeping an eye on the ruckus in the stands as well.
Name: Tsafi Gohn
Description: A lean, wiry, short fellow with sharp features, a near-constant scowl and his fair share of scars. The tip of his long, hooked nose appears to have been bitten off at some point in his past. His greasy, shoulder length brown hair is usually kept tied back.
Reason for signing up: Worked as a cheap assassin for years, found that the line of work agreed with him, but now an enemy of his has killed his parents in revenge, and he needs the money to care for his three young sisters.

"KNOW WHEN TO HOLD 'EM, KNOW WHEN TO FOLD 'EM! KNOW WHEN TO WALK AWAY! KNOW WHEN TO RUN LIKE A SILLY LITTLE GIRL!" Gilbert screams as he dangles from the side of the boat. He calms down within a moment, and turns to look at Mason.
"Say, you think we could watch the duel happening over there, friend? I'll drop in the water immediately afterward of my own accord, honest. Pinky swear! Or perhaps even a scout's honor! But that over there is some good television, I have to say."
If Mr. Mason doesn't seem amenable to the proposition and tries to enact more of his disturbing bisection fetish or something similar on me, or the duel between Magarth and Larry ends, cut my losses and drop in the water of my own accord.

"Alright, fair enough. Try anything and I'll cut your hands off though. Hey Larry, go for the face!" Mason responds to Gilbert before cheering Larry on.
Watch the fight. If it looks like Larry is in severe danger of not living or Gilbert tries anything, use offensive charge and possibly sword to knock Gilbert into the water.

And Welcome back! Today's punishment game is called "Pressing issues"! As you can see, we've strapped flimsy down to this specially made table with pneumatic crushing plates above him! There are ones for his hands, his feet, legs, stomach, head, chest, groin, The whole shebang! Now, normally, he'd be asked a variety of riddles and questions and for each wrong answer a random amount of pressure would be added to one of these crushing plates, but since he's a little bit quiet as of late, we've decided to let DP up in the stands answer for him. The game will keep going till DP has answered 10 questions correctly or until Flimsy is no more! DP, ARE YOU READY!?

Start shaking up a cloud of drugs and knock out gas from off my skin. Slip out of any strangle holds, and bite chunks of flesh out of the attackers. Climb up on top of any audience members fat enough to do so, and perform a flying leap onto the face of anyone smaller. Try to obscure anyone's vision who gets too close with my hair. Use the shackle as an improvised bludgeon, since I have no points to turn it into anything lethal with the finger combination Thumb Index Pinkey to kill as many people as I can. Steal any beer bottles if there are any still full, and chug them. Work my way UP the ramp, pushing contestants aside off the ramp.
"Now the science can begin!"
Observe the mayhem from my seat in the audience. Make notes of mob mentality in my journal.

hood, always raised. He prefers to remain quiet, but he will speak when spoken to, or
when he develops a plan. Looks fairly inconspicuous for some weird reason.
Reason for signing up: Science. That means both competing for scientific research and
gaining money for more research.

Stand my ground at the bottom of the ramp. If anyone comes down, wildly assault them with teeth, bludgeon them with the shackle, and try that combination again in case killing audience members earned me any points. Otherwise try to recover from being mobbed.
((I'm curious to know how strong these beers are, myself. Judging my the amount everyone's been drinking I'm gonna assume they're similar to normal beer in terms of alcohol per volume. Anyway, since my remaining bottle of beer probably ain't flammable...))
"This is hardly sporting!"
Tsafi watched with a mix of awe and horror as his fellow audience members shed any semblance of humanity, descending on the lone contestant- a poor soul putting his life on the line for the entertainment of the masses- in a screaming swarm of mindless violence.
"No way I'm going down there, but I may as well spice things up a little..."
>Go and buy a bottle of cheap, highly alcoholic spirits. If such is not available in the stadium, go buy it from a liquor store and sneak it in. Possibly in my pants. (I have 13 DD total, by the way.)
>Then, tear a strip of fabric from the bottom of my trouser leg, stuff it into the neck of the bottle.
>Light this (hopefully flammable) molotov cocktail and hurl it into the arena at the first group I can see of three or more people.
>If I lack the means to light it, buy a lighter if I have enough DD remaining. Hopefully Tsafi has a smoking habit already, and thus a lighter. If I don't have enough, just give up, sit in the stands and drink the beer I have already, shaking my head in disgust at the scene below.
Name: Tsafi Gohn
Description: A lean, wiry, short fellow with sharp features, a near-constant scowl and his fair share of scars. The tip of his long, hooked nose appears to have been bitten off at some point in his past. His greasy, shoulder length brown hair is usually kept tied back.
Reason for signing up: Worked as a cheap assassin for years, found that the line of work agreed with him, but now an enemy of his has killed his parents in revenge, and he needs the money to care for his three young sisters.

Take advantage of being on fire. After all, it's a hallucination. Bash people with my flaming limbs. When my clothes burn off, scar people for life by running past with Flaming Glory. Keep biting people, working through the stands now.
Name: Wasted Bastard
Description: A guy who's so thin that his bones show, and his hips form a bowl in which stuff can be held. His stringy greasy hair is falling out in chunks, but reaches down to his lowest rib. His eyes bulge out like nothing you've ever seen, and dart this way and that without end. He's coated in a blue crystalline powder, probably from rolling in some drugs like a cat with catnip.
Reason for signing up: Out of money for drugs and food and rent, so need, like, 20 bucks to make it this month.

Find a support pillar among the bleachers and climb it up to the roof. Once safely out of reach, realize I'm actually on fire and pat myself out. Bite and punch anyone who gets in my way.

"Good gods, he doesn't even know what's going on. Poor bastard."
Tsafi was both horrified and fascinated by the sight, the man running and fighting seemingly without realising he was aflame.
>Attempt to defend Wasted Bastard as he makes his escape, mostly out of pity.
Scull my remaining beer and break the bottle without damaging the neck, creating a decent weapon.
If I can reach WB, proceed to inflict some pain on his assailants with a combination of headkicks and bottle-stabs.

Keep Larry the hell away from the sammich. Maybe with some sort of chase scene with Benny hill music playing in the background. It's mine, dammit. Maybe if I happen to pass Cromwell's corpse while protecting my sammich, move his mouth while saying his name in a high-pitched voice so he can report for Roll call too. Could get a few laughs.

He ignored the other contestants for now and just looked around again, making a more thorough examination of the room.

A sly man slinks into the audience, getting his DD, and starts flashing a photograph.
Have you seen this man? His name is Wasted Bastard. I'm trying to track down members of my extended family, and heard that Wasted was last seen here.
The man then looks about suspiciously before realizing something, and shoots out his hand to shake that of whomever he's speaking to.
Oh, yes, my name's Sneaky Bastard. A pleasure to meet you, and I hope if you met my second cousin, he didn't dope you or anything... and I hope I'm not too late, either.
See, every time I manage to track down a cousin of mine, I discover I'm too late and they're already dead. I've got a pretty extensive list of dead cousins.
He whips out a folded chain of photgraphs. It unfolds down to the floor, and the folded section rolls all the way down into the arena before it's fully unfolded. Sneaky Bastard grins.
I'm pretty proud that I found all these. I... guess it's sad that they're all dead, though. So, what's you're name?
Name: Sneaky Bastard
Description: Tall and wiry, but no where near as thin as Wasted. Usually hunched over, and usually ignored and not noticed.

Since this is kind of important, who is opposite to me, on which beam are we on and am I on an intersection?
You could say we're in (3 | 5) if we're in the third intersection from the left, fifth from the bottom and (3.5 | 5) if we're somewhere between intersection 3 and 4.
I could maybe draw a small map later.
EDIT: Start walking forward slowly, shield raised, banging the shackle on the shield for intimidation. Focus on getting ready to counterattack whoever is in front of me by shoving them off the beam with the shield.

"Get a few steps away from me. In case I miss and he tries to retaliate, hit him." Destio told Navarro without looking as he raised his shield and his Shackle, prepared to hit the man wearing the athlete suit from behind.
Turn to face Mason, shield up. Take aim with the shackle. Use it.

Destio looked through his shield's "window" and tried to ignore the fact that it felt much hotter right now. The important thing was he was alive and their enemy was hurt.
"Nice shot. Now let's get him."
If Mason's between me and Navarro or otherwise within reach:
If he attacks me, then focus on blocking. Counterattack if possible.
If he attacks Navarro, then focus on shoving him off the beam.
Else if Mason is not within reach:
Approach with shield up. Approach from another beam than Navarro if possible, so that I can flank him.
If I'm the first to arrive, then keep blocking. If I arrive and he has my back turned on me, then try to bash him off the beam.
If Navarro is the first to arrive, then while he is preoccupied, try to ram Mason from behind so that he falls off the beam.
((Great shot Nav. That is a very useful shackle combo. And now I'm even more glad I got that shield.
EDIT: Just realised I accidentally made an innuendo.))

My arm. Those sparks. thought Destio as he regained his balance. Some kind of vibroblade? But how can it be so durable? Perhaps it is a property of the shackle itself that keeps it intact... His eyes widened as a figurative light-bulb lit up in his mind. That's it! I just need to time this right.
"Is this what you really want? To die in the name of entertainment?"
Focus on dodging the obstacle. Cut it, if it would help.
If I still have time after that, then jump towards my enemy. Use the "main body" of the shackle like a shield, to block his blade so that I can push it away and knock him off balance, while at the same time using the bladed part of my shackle to cut his shackle wielding arm off. If I manage the block but can't position the blade for the cut, then settle for a punch at his throat with my other arm.

360 degree vision to watch for the obstacle, but press the attack while Destio is distracted. Use the time before the obstacle gets to us to reach Destio. If it is a high obstacle, duck it and attack his legs. If it is low, jump it and aim for the shoulder of his Shackle arm or maybe diagonally through his chest. If it is a mid-level obstacle, duck or dive under it and slash his legs or feet, then get up. The point is to attack him while he is distracted by the obstacle. Parry any attacks from Destio with the blade, including any attacks from his sword or fleshy parts. Parry any sword attacks with a blade on blade clash.

Cut the beam in front of me, so that Mason is forced to jump.
Then focus on blocking or dodging, as appropriate.
If Mason comes close to me and I have the opportunity to shove him down or stab him (or if we lock blades and I can push him down), then focus on that instead.
Edit: If I block his strike with my blade and create an opening, use my other hand to punch him in the throat.

((I'm confused as to where we are at in the arena, since I know I jumped to a different beam two or three turns ago.))
"My name is Mason Caldwell. You killed my Larry. Prepare to be knocked off."
360 vision to watch for the obstacle, but continue pressing the attack. If the obstacle is high, duck it and finish taking his leg off. If the obstacle is low, jump it and take his Shackle arm off. If I manage to move faster, slash him again diagonally through the shoulder of his Shackle arm and chest. The point is to hit him while he's distracted by the obstacle, or hit him before the obstacle gets here. If I get knocked down, try to take his leg off to bring him to my level, or sever his Shackle arm above the elbow. If I still need to dodge the obstacle, duck or jump it or cut it with the sword. Parry any attacks with my blade.

Oh, I guess I got confused when you said he jumped back on the beam. That kinda ruins my plan. Well, screw it, I'll just go for a simple attack then.
Move towards my enemy. Use the the blade or the "main body" of the shackle like a shield, to block his blade so that I can push it away and knock him off balance while at the same time using my other hand to punch him (preferably in the throat) and push him off the beam.

Go for Destio's legs with a horizontal slash. If he tries to jump over my strike, swing upwards. Parry any attacks with my blade.

((Wait, does that mean that the walls are going to start crushing the grid? Not good.))
"Why won't you just give up already?"
Focus on defence. Try to slowly walk backwards towards a wall. If I get the opportunity for a counter attack, either via stabbing or punching (preferably in the throat), do it.

"My name is *cough* Mason Caldwell. You killed my *hack* Larry. Prepare to be *wheeze* knocked off."
Regain balance and cut the beam in front of me and back up to a little bit before next intersection. If I am attacked, parry or cut off the attacking part. Should I be knocked down, swing at his legs to bring him to my level.

((I have a feeling we're both going to end up dead...))
Hit his blade with mine or push/kick him, whatever would help me make him fall. My aim is to make him fall down to the beam, but if he falls to his death or if he ends up hanging from it, then I won't complain.
Then bring the blade down to his neck/fingers and let it stay there. Do not actually hit him though unless he tries to attack or move.
If he manages to regain his balance and cut the beam before I get to him, then jump at him and try to do the above.
((Running out of time, so risky options are a go. But that doesn't mean there's no room left for theatricality.
Going for the old "look at the audience/Caesar before killing the gladiator" move. Mostly because I want to see if the host will react in any way.))

Stab! Kill! Annihilate! Exterminate! Aim for the head and vitals.
Also ask from R2 to shut down that trash compactor.
If the wall comes too close and I fail to kill the man in time, then try to use the force shackle as a wedge to keep the walls from crushing me, knowing that this would probably lead to my shackle arm being broken.

"My name is Mason Caldwell. You killed my Larry. Prepare to die."
Finish him! Stand up and cut him in half. Or take his head off. Parry any strikes and go for the kill if I can counter. If all else fails, tackle him off the beam. Try to land on top of him when we hit the ground. If I still have to dodge the walls and they are only moving over the top of the beams, hang off the bottom if there is a grip. If not, wedge Destio between the walls.

YES! (http://youtu.be/l8AioTlq4dc?t=1m)
Sit down. Apply pressure to injuries. Close eyes. Await medic.
EDIT: Does that mean the shackle goes to my other arm now, or will I have to shield bash people to death?
If yes, is there any way to put both the shield and the shackle on the same arm?
If yes, do so.
((The way it was written, in the beginning I thought that Destio had been sliced in half and I was about to post saying "Good Game, now it's time to make a new character."
But it's not.
YES!
Lost an arm, but who cares!
Good game Mason. You will be missed.
Will update the first page soon. Spoiler updated with injuries.))

((Yay, arm!
Also, the host just broke a ball made of metal with his bare hands. Not messing with that guy.
Also also, edited my info so that Toaster and NAV have the correct number of points.
Also also also, I briefly considered donating my replacement limb to TCM, but then saw he had 7 points.))
Destio turned to face the audience.
"I do not enjoy what I did. Forcing him to split like that." he said quietly as he approached the microphone.
"But I will keep fighting to the best of my ability until I win or until I die." he continued more loudly and turned to face the audience.
"And whoever gets in my way, whoever and wherever that may be, will be cut down without mercy."
He continued talking loudly and pointed at the audience.
"Look at Mason, now only half the man he used to be, and remember that."
He moved to grab the piece of paper from the egg and then tried to turn around to let the medics work on him.
Luck is being too kind on me. That usually means it's setting me up for something much more worse.
((Couldn't resist making some easy puns.))
((I'm assuming I'll get my replacement arm after the episode ends?
Oh, and just out of curiosity, if I wanted to replace my face, would that count as replacement limb or replacement organ?))
You can have your arm now.
Organ.
Oh and it looks like Magarth is getting punished. We have two choices: Radio's Rock Paper Scissors of Doom Idea for punishment round in DMR: rock paper scissors DOOM. The player gives a symbol, you give one (roll or choose it. I'd say choose it before opening the thread, so he can try to outsmart you, or vice-versa). If he wins, he gets a point. He lives and goes on if he reaches X points (e.g. 5). He loses, and then a hazard that related to what he lost to happens.
Lost to scissors: a giant scissor comes out and tries to cut of part of him.
Lost to rock: a rock shoots out to crush or break some bones
Lost to paper: a wad of sticky paper shoots out and sticks to him if he gets hit, hampering his mobility and making it harder to dodge the next attack.
(Hazards don't have to be these, or even related to the symbol, just a random example).
He can try to dodge or use his shackle to defend himself. In case of tie, he gets a point, but the hazard also happens.
or my own Crew Cage match, in which the audience chooses from a selection of crew members for Magarth to have a 5 minute (or to the death, which ever comes first) cage match with.
What does the audience think?
Vote for death. Move the waitlist along! Also, new blood for the waitlist.
