((I've got a shotgun for some reason, even though I'm supposed to be a banger.You're right. That will be fixed for the next turn.
Alright kiddos this is important to mention as I've seen it happen thrice now. You do NOT need anything to carry extra stuff. You have infinite carrying capacity.Why should that stop someone from making a backpack if they want to?
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ape7EUVofOgLdF9iSlA5NE5UQVk5Q3k2VmZaejRjSXc#gid=0Might I suggest adding a link to it in the OP?
Tune my ear radio into coverage of the event.Actually, not only is there not really radio coverage, players are forbidden to receive information from outside the Brawl Zone. I never thought that would come up.
((So, how far can we move?))Depends. You can walk half a block in a turn, run a full block in a turn, or...huh. I haven't figured out how far bikes can move. TO THE RULES-MAKING-CAVE!
RESPAWN AS THE COUNT[1] ONE death! AH AH CRAP!
COUNT STUFF
AH AH AH
Build anti-matter bombs.[6] One goes off when you're building them. Respawn?
Repair Tavik Toth.[4] He is fixed.
Actually, Take over my former dominions.[3] You reclaim a couple planets.
I got eaten? Oh well. Respawn in toilet as you-know-what....No, I don't. And I don't think I want to.
be repaired.You are.
Respawn as... hm... a cheesecake factory.[5] You are a SENTIENT Cheesecake Factory!
Do the paperwork and finalize the creation of the administration[6] Administration created! It hates you!
What's wrong with Arthur?So he can't just read them off from memory? Well if so then I don't have to worry about that while he's stuck dealing with bugs... in a castle.... that's on a dragon's back... that has a book for a head... yeah that is still amazing.I feel sorry for those who encounter ... anyone here really. Grungson too.
Man you said characters here will be in MAGUS right? Oh man I'm looking forward to Osborn's appearance for sure now.
Hmm...Advantage: Caveman
What about unarmed combat?
As previously stipulated, everyone in the air force, even the accountants, gets combat training. Everyone. The astronaut would know how to use a knife.I never argued that. I only argued that he would have used a knife or whatever in actual combat, which he wouldn't have.
However, certain things an astronaut would know would be very useful. For instance, how to utilize physics for maximum force, or where neural clusters are.Cavemen can learn those things, too. Well, they might not learn all that, but they know how to hit hard and "If I hit someone there they go down".
And yes, we are smarter than cavemen. They were a different species with more muscle and thicker bones, and less brainmass.Not if we're talking about what I thought we were talking about!
I picked knives because both would have some experience with it without unduly favoring one.Actually, that would favor cavemen, because astronauts' combat experience would 99% of the time be restricted to ranged combat (ie firearm-based conflicts (ie shootouts)), whereas cavemen are more experienced in melee.
If we assume equal footing, wouldn't that include equal training?No, because that makes the astronaut and the caveman not an astronaut and a caveman.
Besides, a good astronaut would have some fighting experience, and would be smarter than a caveman.Fighting experience, maybe, but probably not the kind of fighting the caveman has experience with. Which one the fight turns out to be will be pivotal--if it's pistols at high noon, the astronaut wins, but if it's clubs in a cave, the caveman will.
