Gentlemen, I want some feedback on the update structure, is it easy to read? Is it intuitive? Etc. etc.


Also, next turn has the potential to be hilarious, if some conditions are met.

I'm going to bet it's 'Me rolling a five or higher.'

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Smash the attacker's head with my boot! Or just tackle him, if he gets up before I can do anything to him.

((Originally, I was just going to kill Pariah and offer protection to Bigf00t in exchange for armor... but really, a stat point would be more useful.  Sorry you two, better luck next lives.))

Zentol smiles serenely at Bigf001t, then simply says "Tealtael".

Throat slashing for the throat slashing god!

((@Tomcost.  Update structure seems fine to me.  I don't really see any difference from the other perplexicons, aside from more information which is always nice.))

You've seen me in the other games have you not? Would I not make a better friend than an enemy?
One measly stat point, yay for your + 50% CHANCE for a +1 on a roll. Not sure how that stacks up against a friend wielding all of science, but whatever, ok. Go ahead. ;D

I'm not going to frown on your... less friendly demeanor. This is a deathmatch after all. I'm not entirely pleased that you chose to murder Unholy, but unless you try to kill me we may still have a chance at a mutually beneficial, if perhaps short-lived, truce.

What do you say?

((That counts as PM turn, you still have time Syvarris. My turn shall hold a conditional for your actions.))

-snip- Because this would likely be longer than the entire turn.
Lol. Amazing.

Oh, so that is what happened. Well, I actually have a backup of the turn with you actually casting those spells. You die even worse without that +1 in dex. Anyway, I will edit it into the turn, and change your data in the character sheet.

Here is the meaninful part of it:

It's the same afterwards.



I'm going to bet it's 'Me rolling a five or higher.'
I have to say that the change of words was unnecessary. I said that the turn was going to be hilarious, not dangerous.

EDIT: Pariah can cast a final word, as pool regenerates at a rate of 1 per turn during combat.

You havge just ONE final action. You can choose between a word, or a physical action at a -1 penalty. Your call.
