    Default Insanowar classic: Random number something

    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 is attacked 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.


    And i also play with these guidelines

    1)You must post with 3 days or let the host know about any delay or lose that turn.

    2) No retcon's of your picks death. ( I notice that this was happening alot generally with the proviso "but i got no one else interesting in my army". THIS IS NOT A GOOD EXCUSE. Ether pick more interesting people or make the survivors interesting.) Rule 3 overrules this only when logical for a given value of logic (god damn rule of cool)

    3)Time travel works as a one off Mulligan but must not cause paradox within insanowar universe

    4) all rules can be ignored with the host/ rule of cool consent

    5) the host is the final judge on what is fair and what is not.

    O.k order is

    1. Project_Mayhem
    2. Eternal Drifter
    3. billtodamax
    4. horngeek
    5. KerfuffleMach2

    start at top right base and heres the map (its old school time)

    2) 50 Kobold Trappers (Build traps on the battlefield for the others to fall victim to, but not immune to own traps)

    Oh, right.

    *facepalm*

    I wasn't thinking that much. My brain thought that because ED picked two instead of one it was still his pick.

    1. 8 Special Operations Sangheili, two equipped with plasma swords, one with a beam rifle, 3 with covenant carbines, and two with plasma rifles.

    Okay. Just so you know, I do have one other anime pick planned... but after that, I intend to stick to non-anime. Partially because I dislike picking too much from one genre anyway.

    I do ask in advance- how many Space Marine Terminators would be one pick? I'd say five, myself, but someone might disagree.

    five seems fair, Space Marine Terminators are just elite troops with a good weapon selection.

    To be honest, they've got one of the best armors... ever. They can survive being stepped on by a Titan.

    true but they do lack mobility, and there urban/ space hulk/ hive armour, the terminator do great within the bases but as in all things they have there weakness, out in the field they can be out gunned, even if it just a lucky shot (hell, I once took out a terminator with Gretchen fire, though this was in an earlier edition, I shot something like 50 shots on him, 10 hit and he fail to roll 3+ on two dice twice) So powerful but not immortal just remember.
