Yeah, not gonna argue with this. Not a topic I consider worthy to argue about. And I would like to ask everyone not to argue on my behalf. Don't want to escalate this.

Eh, I would probably actually roleplay in this game to a limited amount, make my words visible, and make you my enemy. ;D
Thats what happens when we dont get enough daily dose of turns. (In no way intention to insult Toaster, i think hes doing pretty good!)
Either ways, who votes Pit of Magic for the Hall of Fame?

Shouldn't the game age a little more before voting? And I'm not talking about rules, I'm just saying this because the game it's still young

Just a quick query:  I have sent my action to Toaster through PM, yet it doesn't appear in my sent messages list.  Does this mean it hasn't sent, or is that normal?  I sent it again to make sure, but it's still not coming up.

It only appears if you check "save in my inbox" or something, but yes, it's normal.

My question: In Perplexicon, if you asked the admin (Piecewise) he could make your action secret (Not telling the results) as long as there was no one else with sight capacity in the room. (Basically, there is no one else or they are blind/unsconcious.

I... suppose I could do that (as long as you didn't get mad when I forgot and post it anyway.)  Any objections?

Also suggestion: Make Will affect on how much time you re unsconcious. Every turn you re unsconcious you can do a will roll to see if you wake up.
First turn: 5/6+=You wake up.
Second Turn: 4/5/6+=You wake up.
Third Turn: 3/4/5/6+=You wake up.
And so on, the minimum to wake up being a one, cuz zeros suck.

Right now unconsciousness is one turn only, assuming nothing is keeping you there.  Derm was out for two turns because he was still getting choked.

Aaaand finally another question:
In original Perplexicon you could do more stuff with souls apart of converting them into points, you could give them to other players and stuff. Is it possible to do that here?

No, and I don't have any plans to change that.  If there's a really awesome idea, maybe, but considering this is still deathmatch it's not very likely.


toaster hijacked someones mind and forced him to summon a MOTHERFUCKING BLACK HOLE CLUSTER BOMB.

Good times.


It was way more threatening in the original Perplexicon, where people didn't discover the full-body word in the first five turns of the game (in fact, it was only at the end of the first phase - the arena phase - that such a thing became common knowledge).

That word did indeed change the flow of this game.  of course there are still awesome other things people haven't figured out yet


Hey!  Yes, I have been on a vacation for the last two weeks, but you could at least send a PM to confirm!

I still need to read through this, but here's my char, if I'm in.
Pot:3
Chan:6

Since I already told the other two they were in, I'm going to have to leave you off for now; sorry.  But don't worry, you're still first place on the waitlist.


Either ways, who votes Pit of Magic for the Hall of Fame?

Save the accolades for the original.  I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants, etc etc

I got them both.

NO UPDATE FOR YOU

I was just off the forum yesterday.  Once I finish this post (and it's done when you're reading this) I'll start the turn.

I just want to be able to change my title to derm slayer.
Good luck.

Dammit.

Unconciousness is still crap. I only survived my first one 'cause piecewise is nice.
How unusual. It's a bad thing to be knocked unconscious.
Name a game where being unconscious doesn't lead quickly to death.
And you rolled a 1 for the End roll. Would you rather have been killed outright?

How can you use willpower, which is, by its very nature, an action of your conscious mind, if you're unconscious? It really doesn't make sense to me.
While I'm a bit uncertain about the logic, I have to agree with the conclusion.
If nothing else, Endurance should contribute.

Well, I'm not up to date on what's going on really.  All I know is that there were eight or so people before me on the waitlist two weeks ago, and now I'm in.  That means lots of people have died.  So I'm just being safe, and making sure nobody touches me before I'm up to date.
The count of deaths that i remember:
Ton**** of Derm kills.
Bob(Piecewise) dieing ripped in half when he tried two conflictive full body materials (Zentol and a heavenly type material) and finally consumed by each of those.
Corsair being consumed by the Zentol Fullbody due to his lack of will.
Tiruin death, i almost killed her character while attempting to get !!THE WAND!!, but Derm came on the last moment and attacked us both with a blackhole, and she couldnt resist.
Derm Death by Dave, when Dave went unsconcious by a failed spear summoning, Derm came to attack, however Dave electric body electrocuted him and made him fall unsconcious, just as Dave woke up and broke Derm neck with a repulse force spear.
Vakothu being thrown down the bottomless pit by someone i dont remember but that is still alive.
You left out The Golden Scholar discovering gravity.

Sazrael: Oh will you chill out. "All your souls are aquired due to me!", "I participated in everything!", "You owe all your power to me!", "All who do not agree with my policies are going to be exterminated!".

If that's not a sign of you behaving like a king of the pit, I don't know what is.
Demanding that other players make you a crown.
And yeah, Sazrael is being kinda a jerk.

Im not sure, but i think Syvarris already knew that. May be wrong though, either ways is on the original memories of the fallen.

Death via unconsciousness is a pretty rare trope overall in Movies and Video Games where it is usually used to transport and/or a character against their will. Instant death or slow death by lethal wounds are much more common.
