Insanowar Six: The End of the Rhyme

[Recaiden]

Welcome to Insanowar

Da Rules:

1.) There are five players, each of which represent a commander of their army.

2.) Each player takes turns choosing some powerful character, semi-powerful group of characters, or large mob of expendable non-characters from any sort of media. Examples: The TMNTs, a Dreadnought from 40K, a mob of kobolds.

3.) When each player has 10 selections, the game begins.

4.) A map will be provided showing the layout of the battlefield. Each person will have a base of operations with which they can wage war. Note that each base is about 2 turns away from each other.

5.) A static turn order is established. In each turn, the player dictates what their troops are doing, as far as the opponent can see. Secret actions need not be reported (although it is good sportsmanship to give hints as to what your are planning).

6.) When troops engage, the person whose turn the engagement took place on decides the outcome, which will usually NOT be all one way. If there is any friendly dispute (and the dispute WILL be friendly, or else), other players/playgrounders chime in with their opinions. If no consensus is reached, it's a 50/50 slaughter.

7.) The winner is the one who wins.

Da Guidelinez:

1.) You can't choose anyone TOO powerful. No gods, demigods, anything like that. Make it something that's about the same power level as the other troops on the field.

2.) Don't be a jerk. The objective here is to have fun--frankly, who wins and who loses is pretty arbitrary anyway. This game is definitely straddling the line between Silly and Structured.

3.) Respect Awesomeness. If a player is pulling off something that's just too awesome to believe, that should aid his victory.

4.) Enjoy yourself. Seriously, guys.

Rules subject to change.

Currently, the game is fully reserved by:
Darkcomet, Dirk Kris, DMTibernius, Night Surgeon, The Bookworm
If one of them drops out before we start, other people can join.

[The Bookworm]

I'm just poking in to claim my reserve. And Camp Blue, if I may.

[Fan]

DMTibernius invalidated his reserve VIA PM once more.

Anyways, I'm claiming Purple base, and my reservation.
Insano 7 coming up soon for all!

[happyturtle]

*pokes Fan* Shouldn't you start FF7 ww before you start Insanowar 7?

[Fan]

*pokes Fan* Shouldn't you start FF7 ww before you start Insanowar 7?

My defintion of "soon" is tomorrow Happy. You should know that by now.

[Selrahc]

We're starting a seventh one as well? Do we have enough interested players?

[The Bookworm]

Isn't Seven a little much right now? I mean, 4,5,6 all just started, and we don't want a burnout like what happened to VUAX on the Homebrew subforum.

[Mustiado]

If no one objects... I'll claim camp green. Someone may have to fill me in on the details of whats going on though...

EDIT: I may have claim jumped. Folks with prior reservations are welcome to play through, I'll have a spot if that's all cleared.

Night Surgeon has been keeping track and says you can join.

[Deathslayer7]

I would like to put in a claim/reservation for any game that's coming up anytime soon. Thanks

[The Bookworm]

May we start picking armies?

[Recaiden]

I would like to put in a claim/reservation for any game that's coming up anytime soon. Thanks

How about this one? If so:

The Bookworm
deathslayer7
Recaiden
Night Surgeon
Mustiado

Army picking will begin as soon as either, or both of deathslayer and darkcomet confirm that they want to be in the game

[Deathslayer7]

sure im fine with that.

[Recaiden]

Okay, Bookworm picks first. We each pick 1 thing, then 2 each, three each, four each.

EDIT: Oh yeah... Sorry.
The Bookworm
deathslayer7
Dirk Kris
Night Surgeon
Mustiado
Recaiden?

[Deathslayer7]

I'll claim camp red then.

edit: wait where are you then Recaiden?

[Rutskarn]

...

Fun fact.

When I first threw out the Insanowar thread, it was lost in the Structured Games bureaucracy for about a week and a half. I assumed that either it had been deemed unworthy, or it had been so unpopular that it had arrived and had simply vanished.

And we're already on thread six, because we're dealing with so much overflow? Jeebus.

[Dirk Kris]

I suppose that leaves me with...yellow base?

[Darkcomet]

...Wait, have I been kicked?

My Internet died yesterday, if you're looking for an explanation.

[Deathslayer7]

take my spot then DC.

[Recaiden]

...Wait, have I been kicked?

My Internet died yesterday, if you're looking for an explanation.

Yes. But since deathslayer seems to want to give away her spot to anyone she can, you're back in.

[Darkcomet]

Okay, thanks DS.

I had wanted the red space anyways.

[Deathslayer7]

well technically he should have been in before me, that's why.

[Darkcomet]

well technically he should have been in before me, that's why.

True, and I hadn't claimed it yet because my internet died. I don't think it would be fair to kick someone for that.

[The Bookworm]

Is everything settled? Can we start?

[Recaiden]

Okay. It was just that there were lots of people and everyone else with a reservation had already responded. But you have no control over internet problems.
Darkcomet will take deathslayer's spot, and The Bookworm may now make his first pick.

[Darkcomet]

*pokes Bookworm*
