Bombs Away - Heat 2 - Underway!

[banjo1985]

Again, Cd4's prescribed action:

Cd4

Fire F9, F10, E10, right

[Tydude]

Frag C7 and move 2 South.

[Reinholdt]

E9 and East

[MintyNinja]

A6 and North East

[Deathslayer7]

Fire F9 and F10 again
move 1 right

[banjo1985]

Turn 9 Over!

No-one was fragged this turn.

However, someone did hit The Grimmace, but he was protected by his Steel Codpiece!

Calar, Tilt and The Grimmace stood around like lemons!

Someone posted both an illegal move and a target square that was out of their line of sight.

The Teleporter is still on square G7. Anyone who ends their turn on this square can PM with the square they wish to teleport to. But who knows how long the teleporter will remain stable for?

[MintyNinja]

[banjo1985]

Apologies, forgot this yesterday. Cd4's action for today:

Cd4

Bomb C10,D10,E10, east

[Tydude]

Frag F3 and move 2 South.

[Reinholdt]

G6 and North West

[calar]

Attention everyone who does not wish to lose to an idle. I'm Quite certain cd4 is Near the F7 area, give or take a few squares. I suggest mass carpet bombing the are before he teleports. He can be no further west than E,no further East than G, and no further North than 7. It is unlikely he is on F8. Im attacking F7, E7, and E8 and standing still. Bombing the same places twice (especially on F7) is also recommended, since he has that codpiece.

[Tydude]

Am I allowed to change where I fragged?

[calar]

Am I allowed to change where I fragged?

I'm assuming you can just edit your post.

[Deathslayer7]

doesn't matter.

Dragon Breath

[banjo1985]

True I'm afraid, end of turn update to come shortly.

[banjo1985]

Turn 11 Over!

Deathslayer7 dragon-breathed The Grimmace!

Calar hit Cd4, but he was protected by his Steel Codpiece!

Tilt and The Grimmace stood around like lemons!

But, most importantly:

Cd4 fragged Deathslayer7 for his fifth and final frag!

Cd4 got his 5th frag and won the game! Congratulations!

Now, as this is still an experimental game I guess it’s survey time:

1.Did you have fun?

2.Did you have a strategy/system, or did you just fire blind?

3.Does the game work in it's current format?

4.Any rule changes needed to make it better/work at all?

5.Were the starting abilities and upgrades balanced?

6.Are the Deathmatch-style updates sufficient, or should I try and narrate things?

7.Would you play again (with any mentioned rules tweaks), possibly in an ever-updating league table?

8.Any other comments?

[Tydude]

1.Did you have fun?
Of course! Even though I fragged three people and only got one upgrade.

2.Did you have a strategy/system, or did you just fire blind?
Sort of a combo. I didn't have some program figuring out people's locations, but I was following people and taking educated guesses.

3.Does the game work in it's current format?
I think so. There's still a big advantage to posting later, but other that that it's good.

4.Any rule changes needed to make it better/work at all?
Something needs to be done about the posting last advantage, but otherwise I can't really think of anything.

5.Were the starting abilities and upgrades balanced?
Cluster Bombs is probably the most powerful, but not by much. The problem is that I'm Bruce Lee just looks so attractive and different compared to the others. I say you make all four starting abilities awesome abilities like Bruce Lee, and then for upgrades have 2 tiers. The first frag you get you get one power from the first tier (which would be less powerful, like the other 3 starting abilities) and then the rest from the second tier, which would be the current upgrades. This also takes away a huge advantage to the player who gets a lucky first frag, as they don't get a mega power from the start.

6.Are the Deathmatch-style updates sufficient, or should I try and narrate things?
I thought they were fine. Narrations aren't really needed here. Maybe make the phases a bit shorter though, it seemed like it took a while.

7.Would you play again (with any mentioned rules tweaks), possibly in an ever-updating league table?
Yep.

8.Any other comments?
What is a "Mover Shaker"?

[Reinholdt]

Man, I'm horrible at this game...

[Saposhiente]

1.Did you have fun?
I didn't have the time to make this fun
2.Did you have a strategy/system, or did you just fire blind?
I planned for the former, but never finished the program
3.Does the game work in it's current format?
Yeah. It is a little chancy, as demonstrated by the win by idler.
4.Any rule changes needed to make it better/work at all?
Not really. I don't like the whole teleporter appearing at random thing, but it's pretty much the only thing empowering Run Like Hell right now. It'd be better if it went in at random locations and times according to a predisclosed method, so that it can be strategized for.
5.Were the starting abilities and upgrades balanced?
They all have different advantages; none is strictly better than another. I will say that Run Like Hell is the least powerful, followed by Sniper Bombs. Which of Cluster Bombs and I'm Bruce Lee is better is unclear and hard to determine.
6.Are the Deathmatch-style updates sufficient, or should I try and narrate things?
They're fine; I probably wouldn't read narrations
7.Would you play again (with any mentioned rules tweaks), possibly in an ever-updating league table?
When/If I make a proper program ahead of time
8.Any other comments?
Not really

[Deathslayer7]

by chance where was cd4 and who hit him?

[calar]

by chance where was cd4 and who hit him?

I hit him, and I'm going to take a stab at it and guess he was on F7.

Anyway, question time.

1.Did you have fun?
Ya I did, its definitely a fun little game.

2.Did you have a strategy/system, or did you just fire blind?
I did. On some of the shots I would track all the places my opponent could be and got it down to some pretty accurate guessing. Also staying along the walls helped surprisingly a lot.

3.Does the game work in it's current format?
Yes, for the most part

4.Any rule changes needed to make it better/work at all?
I would consider giving people a little more time (at least more time than you did in the later rounds.) some of my attacks require time to figure where to shoot. You could also update as soon as all actions are sent in, or after a set time-frame, which would speed up the early game a bit more.

5.Were the starting abilities and upgrades balanced?
I think so, though cluster bombs struck me as a bit more powerful than the others, while I'm bruce Lee struck me as underpowered.

6.Are the Deathmatch-style updates sufficient, or should I try and narrate things?
Its fine either way.

7.Would you play again (with any mentioned rules tweaks), possibly in an ever-updating league table?
Absolutely, I had a great time and can't wait to play again.

[Zjoot]

1.Did you have fun?
Yes, yes I did.
2.Did you have a strategy/system, or did you just fire blind?
Well, at first I drew out maps and marked out where people could be, then I started just making educated guesses, then I forgot what suare I was on and turned into a lemon.
3.Does the game work in it's current format?
Seems to work fine to me, except for of course the fact that shooting later can give you an advantage.
4.Any rule changes needed to make it better/work at all?
I can't think of anything specific.
5.Were the starting abilities and upgrades balanced?
Yeah, they seemed fine to me, although some of the upgrades can be a little overpowered in combination. If you get a couple lucky kills early on, your chances of winning go way up.
6.Are the Deathmatch-style updates sufficient, or should I try and narrate things?
Deathmatch updates are good.
7.Would you play again (with any mentioned rules tweaks), possibly in an ever-updating league table?
I'd probably play again
8.Any other comments?
Well, winning two trophies is cool (even if they were for bad things)
