The Boys - Round 5 - Main Phase 1 - 4/7

[Marshal]

if someone wins an ALL YOUR ENERGY gamble, they gain a full shield, a full attack, ability copy, use over the max amount of it on one ability and 3/4 on the rest, and that player is forced to give you powers.

aka, you become literal god.

[tutuu]

yeah i wouldnt make it so they win previous rewards. im just making sure the wishes of the creators are understood

[Hazardwaste]

I dont

[Ash]

Other clarification: if you fail the bet, would we still publicly announce who you bet on?
Like, is it:
Hazard bet 1/4 of his Energy on Daeron; he loses the bet.
Or is it:
Hazard bet 1/4 of his Energy; he loses the bet.

[tutuu]

Im thinking the first

[tutuu]

Ill post a suggestion for an Order of Operations soon

[tutuu]

Doesnt win previous rewards

Gains a temporary 1-shot version copy of an ability of that opponent that you must immediately use, disappears on use, and also disappears if you dont immediately use it

Force a player to give you power = temporarily steal

The contestants are all players living and dead - so 1 in 7 to win, always

Allowed to copy own abilities

Will write it more neatly soon

@tutuu

YOU MAY FORCE THE PLAYER TO GIVE YOU A POWER UNTIL YOU FAIL A BET OR YOU DIE.

Also add that if this activates, you must bet every turn until it deactivates (the bet doesn’t necessarily have to be on that player).

[Ash]

Gonna do one final run-through for edge cases, but let’s try and get this up and running today.

Resolution Quirks:

The stuff that I’ve found, as well as my proposed ways for dealing with them

@tutuu

1. Alliance:
   Once per round you may publicly attempt to befriend a player. If they publicly accept you can’t target each other with Basic Attacks and Damaging Powers for the rest of the round.

Damaging Powers are:

• Big Punch
• Coerce
• Shooting with Russian Roulette
• Lazer Eyes
  • This ability’s required “use this ability on that player next round” can be circumvented using Alliance.
• The Greatest Scam
• Insanity
• Game Show Driven
  • 1/4 Energy
  • 1/2 Energy
  • All Energy
• Gambling? I’m in!

@tutuu

3. Coerce:
   Spend X energy and choose an opponent. At the end of this round, that player may burn 0.25 * X (rounded to nearest integer). If they do not, they can neither target you with a strictly harmful Power the next round, nor will their Basic Defend block your Basic Attack.

Strictly Harmful powers are:

• Big Punch
• Lazer Eyes
• Insanity
• Game Show Driven
  • 1/4 Energy
  • 1/2 Energy
  • All Energy

Notable exclusions are:

• Shooting with Russian Roulette
• The Greatest Scam
• Gambling? I’m in!

@tutuu

5. Russian Roulette:

Publicly activate this ability to give any player including yourself a revolver. It has chambers equal to the amount of currently alive players. One chamber at random has a bullet, the others are blanks.

During standard action submission, you may shoot any player (including yourself) with this revolver.

If you shoot the bullet, you deal 20 damage and the revolver is discarded. If you shoot a blank at another player, you pass them the revolver.

If you shoot a blank at yourself, you heal for 5 Health (can’t overheal more than starting Health) and pass it to any living player of your choice.

Each revolver may be shot at each player once only. If there are no more valid targets, discard it.

Once discarded, you can activate this ability to make a new revolver.

This only gets added back to Restart’s Auction Phase if the revolver has not been fired yet. This does not reset the “you may shoot at each player only once” clause.

@tutuu

7. Lazer eyes:

Spend 20 energy to deal 30 damage to a player. If possible, you MUST use this ability the next round, on the same player, and then you are free to target elsewhere or holster this ability.

As mentioned earlier, the “must use this ability next round” clause can be broken by Alliance.
It can also be broken by Coerce.

On your first use, if your target gets Swapped with someone else, you must target the player that you hit; however, on your second use, if your target gets Swapped with someone, you are still freed from your “must target the same player” condition.

@tutuu

9. Swapper:

Burn Yx10, where Y is the number of times you’ve used this ability. You may swap yourself with another player. All actions targetting that player (not including self-targets) will be considered to target you, and vice versa.

Disabled in F2.

This does not affect Copy, as Copy targets Major Powers and not players.
By that same token, this does not affect The Greatest Scam.
This ability will affect the target for Game Show Driven, except for 2/3 Energy bets, which will hit the intended target.

If this ability is copied, the copied version will start at Y = 1.

@tutuu

13. Gambling? I’m in!

Choose an opponent. Play a game of Blackjack with you as the dealer - rules following the ones in Tess Ardent’s Casino, sidebets included. They must wager a minimum 10% of their energy, or 10 energy, whichever is higher. If the player loses, they take as much damage as their wager. If the player wins, the dealer (you) takes as much damage as the player’s payout.

If a player cannot wager 10 Energy, they will instead wager 10% of their Energy (rounded).

[tutuu]
