Umm, aren't hotels red? Only Atreyu appears to have a green one.

Re: Team Ready, Aim, Fire! Round 7
I've made a new medal - the Seppuku Badge. It's awarded to the player who has died from shooting himself the most. Fleeing Coward, who had died by his own hand six times now, will receive it at the end of this round.

Re: Team Ready, Aim, Fire! Round 7
Comitting Sepukku is funnier in a Samurai context, such as in that particular round when I dishonored myself before the emperor...

Re: Team Ready, Aim, Fire! Round 7
Indurain is bored. There doesn’t seem to be anyone left to fight, and fighting is all a zealot does. He looks around the base, looking for something to do. Finally, he has an idea. “Look out air... I’m coming to get ya!” says Indurain, as he activates the controls of one of the base’s photon cannons. The zealot idly fires some shots into the air, blowing apart clouds and obliterating an unfortunate bird that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“Now we play with normal rules, okay? So no more ‘give all your money to the executor’ chance cards, or I’m not playing.” Atreyu sighs and nods. “Right. I’m the car.” The llama bleats angrily. “No, I’m the car! You were the car last time!” Atreyu suddenly sinks his teeth into Akaziel’s hand. “Alright, alright, you can be the car! Let go! Ow!”
With the cerebrate dead, Ink isn’t sure what to do. Then he remembers the words of Hydralisk Joe: “Knowing is half the consumption of all organic matter.” He flies towards the Protoss base, to see what they are doing. As he makes a pass over the base, a proton burst whizzes past his wing. Down below, Indurain is waiting for the proton cannon to recharge, as Ink swoops down at the zealot’s position. Another shot barely misses the mutalisk, and he returns fire. He fires a glave wurm at Indurain, neatly decapitating him.

Re: Team Ready, Aim, Fire! Round 7
Ink is flying around the Protoss base, which now seems devoid of life. He’s about to leave, as he hears raised voices (and bleats) from one of the larger buildings.
“Two houses? That’s 500 dollars! Fine, here’s your money.” Akaziel is counting his remaining cash, as suddenly the decapitated body of Indurain stumbles into the room and kicks over the monopoly board, shouting: “AVENGE ME, FOOLS!” As the headless zealot collapses, Akaziel says: “He has a point, Atreyu. There’s a bunch Zerg out there that need to be taught a lesson. And don’t forget why we’re here – we still need to retrieve the artefact.” Atreyu looks at the large pile of money in front of him, and bleats. “No, not because I’m losing! Because there are more important things going on than our game! If we don’t stop the zerg...” Atreyu bleats again, and grins. “Oh, that does it! I’m going to bankrupt you, executor!”

Re: Team Ready, Aim, Fire! Round 7
Wow, we're now in the sixth round of this... uh, round (we really need different names for full games of Team RAF and rounds of actions). That means that this is now the second longest round we've had so far - only round II (Star Wars) was longer, with 8 rounds.

Re: Team Ready, Aim, Fire! Round 7
Okay, I think I know what to do with the 'round' mess. I'll simply remove the word 'round' from the title, and use roman numerals. When referring to a full game of Team RAF, I'll simply say 'game'. So this is the seventh game of Team RAF, and the title is 'Team Ready, Aim, Fire! VII'.
That should clear things up. I'll update the rules and the Team RAF page on my site accordingly.

Re: Team Ready, Aim, Fire! VII
Protoss are psychic. I guess his head psi-shouted at them while his body stumbled in. Or something. Shush.
I have all your actions, so I will now perform the amazing feat of writing the story and watching Firefly at the same time.
Or maybe not. Maybe I'll finish this episode first, and then write the story.
edit: Also, Firefly is officially awesome.Last edited by Lord Herman; 2007-09-16 at 03:04 PM.

Re: Team Ready, Aim, Fire! VII
Hovering above the ground, the gleaming metal shape moves around slowly, as if unsure where to land. It bobs a bit, the moves quickly to the left, and appears to set down, before suddenly flying up again. Atreyu sighs and points at ‘free parking’ on the board. “I knew that,” says Akaziel, as he sets down the little metal top hat. “Three plus five. Seven.” The llama bleats again. “Eight.”
Executor Atreyu is just about to roll the dice, as suddenly, a mutalisk crashes into the room. Atreyu quickly hides under a table, while Akaziel gets ready for battle. As Ink gets up, Akaziel says: “Huh. That’s funny.” Atreyu bleats askingly. “He’s challenging us. For a game of Monopoly. The winner takes the artefact.” The executor shrugs and nods.
Screeches and bleats fill the room. “Gentlemen, GENTLEMEN! Look, there’s only one boot. Executor, you got to choose last time, so it’s only fair that the mutalisk can play the boot now. Besides, didn’t you want to play the car last time? And the train before that?” Atreyu bleats grumpily, and points at one of the little metal playing figures. “What? The hat? No way, I’m the hat!” Akaziel suddenly finds himself the target of angry bleats and screeches. “Alright, alright, you can be the hat! I’ll be the wheelbarrow. Fine.”
Ink screeches happily as the hat lands on Park Place. “Well, that’s it, Atreyu. You’re broke.” The llama looks at the board, and then at Ink. He bleats loudly, and suddenly starts throwing houses and hotels at the mutalisk. “Stop it! Atreyu, he beat you fair and square! Atreyu!” Akaziel tries to grab the executor, but the llama is too quick. He leaps at Ink, and bites him in the wing. “Atreyu!” The mutalisk flaps around wildly, while Atreyu firmly holds on to the wing. Suddenly, a piece of the wing tears off, and the llama is thrown across the room, right into a high-tech console. It explodes and fries Atreyu.
“You killed Atreyu! That’s... that’s cheating!” Ink shrugs and screeches apologetically. “Yeah, of course it was an accident. You’re gonna pay for this.” Akaziel hands Ink a pair of dice. “Your turn.”
“And that’s another 200 bucks. Things aren’t looking well for you, zerg boy!” Akaziel is about to roll the dice as one of the consoles starts bleeping. “Oh, right, the fleet.” The archon taps the console. “Akaziel? Is that you? We have things under control up here. The enemy fleet has been destroyed. How is your battle with the Zerg going?” “Very well. I have Park Place and Boardwalk firmly under my control, and the enemy is down to 160 dollars.” “Wait a second, did you say...” “I’m awfully sorry, admiral, but it’s my turn.”
Akaziel taps the console again, and rolls the dice. “Ah, chance card! ‘All Zerg players have to do the Hokey Pokey or pay 200 dollars to the bank.’” Ink looks around, and screeches. “You don’t know the Hokey Pokey? It’s simple. You put your left leg in, you put you left leg out... oh wait, you don’t have any legs! How unfortunate. That’ll be 200 bucks for the bank!” Ink screeches suspiciously. “Yes, that’s what it says, ‘do the Hokey Pokey’. Too bad the overmind didn’t bother to teach you how to read, or you could check for yourself. Oh well, I guess that means you’re broke.” The mutalisk screeches angrily, and flaps out of the building, where he is promptly shot by a squadron of interceptors.
“Well, admiral, I guess it’s time we went to that canyon and retrieve the artefact.” “Indeed, Akaziel. If it’s really what we think it is, we will have the perfect weapon to turn the tide against the Zerg! Imagine, the psiblade of Adun himself!” As the shuttle lands in the canyon, the archon and the admiral step out and slowly approach the shiny thing. “Hmm, interesting,” says Akaziel. “Is it the blade?” says the admiral. “It would seem we have found... a spoon. A very shiny one.” “Oh. Well, best take it with us, then. We’re short on spoons.” “Uhm, sir?” “Yes?” “We’re Protoss. We don’t have mouths. What could we possibly need spoons for?” “Good point. That explains why we don’t have any. Well, let’s take it with us anyway.”
And so ended the Battle of the Shiny Spoon. The spoon itself was put on display on the new Protoss homeworld of Shakuras, accompanied by a plaque that reminds executors to ‘bloody well take some basic scans of the target before you lose an entire taskforce fighting for a spoon’.Last edited by Lord Herman; 2007-09-16 at 04:41 PM.

Re: Team Ready, Aim, Fire! VII
Yay! I actually survived this round! Great game everyone!
I'm VERY busy due to real life and whatnot, so I'm taking a break from all WWs and SGs. I should have warned y'all beforehand, and I apologize if I've inconvenienced any of you due to my many autolynches. I really should have stated how busy my life is.
'Tis my Team RAF Trophy Case.
