World's Finest - GAME OVER ASH WINS

[tutuu]

@Aleph @Daeron @Ash @Marshal @Squirrel2412 @Zone_Q11

Round 1 resolution:

Cursed Soul is holstered

Power U is holstered

Ishmael and Daeron make the following deal via Devils Bargain:

@Daeron

I am willing to agree to not target your powers with any of my powers in exchange for you to take one bad mutation at any time, and two rounds after you have taken one bad mutation due to this clause, it would not be a violation for me to target Power U with Cursed Soul

---

Ishmael attacks Ash for 32 and defends for 31

Daeron defends for 79

Ash attacks Marissa for 87

Marissa attacks Zone_Q11 for 7 (4 damage due to Parasite), Burns 4 to send the mutation to Ash, defends for 35

Squirrel attacks everybody for 4, defends for 60

Zone_Q11 attacks Daeron for 41, defends for 20, stockpiles 9 energy

---

Ishmael has 31 shields and takes 4 incoming damage. Takes no damage

Daeron has 79 shields and takes 45 incoming damage. Takes no damage

Ash has 0 shields and takes 36 incoming damage. Takes 36 damage

Marissa has 35 shields and takes 91 incoming damage. She is immune to combat damage due to Chrono Shield. She is set to take 56 Burn damage the next round. Ash would be the person receiving Parasite unless she takes more damage from somebody else

Squirrel has 60 shields and takes 0 incoming damage. Takes no damage

Zone_Q11 has 20 shields and takes 8 incoming damage. Takes no damage

---

Marissa Burns for 4 and gives Ash this mutation:

@tutuu

Persistent Spectre : Burn 5 every round while you have this power. You may instead Burn 4(X+1), where X is the number of times this power has been transferred, to send this power to a player of your choice.

As Daeron took no damage this round, he may not Attack or use powers to directly deal damage next round due to this mutation:

@tutuu

Moment of Comprehension : The first time you take no damage in a round, you may not use the Attack action the next round, nor may you use powers that directly deal damage.

Round 1 ends, Round 2 begins now (when I write it out)

[Ash]

Ya’ll hate me, what the heck.

[Aleph (Ishmael)]

[Marshal]

[Aleph (Ishmael)]

[tutuu]

Round 2 starts!

Daeron’s Quasi-stellar Obliterator triggers next. Here are the two bad mutations:

@ElizaThePsycho

Null Field: You and your actions are not affected by other powers, including your own. Upon gaining this power, gain 7 Health for every other power you have.

@ElizaThePsycho

Gloves of Gemini: Upon obtaining this power, halve your Health, then create a clone of yourself with your Health and all of your powers. There may only be one clone this way.

(these might be subjective to resolve the rulings of when interacting with other powers so feel free to ask how I’d resolve them)

Daeron chooses one for himself and gives one to another player

---

Next, Daeron can choose to activate Cursed Soul

---

Next, Ishmael can choose to activate Power U

---

Next, Ishmael can choose to activate Devils Bargain

---

After all of that everyone’s actions are resolved

[tutuu]

Ishmael activates Power U!!!

- YouTube

(its mandatory that you listen)

Her Devils Bargain ability:

@tutuu

Devils Bargain: Strike a deal with another player, binding them and yourself to the terms. If the deal is broken, the violator is penalized according to the terms of the deal. (All potential deals are veto’able by the host just to prevent bullshit. I probably won’t veto, but still.)

is upgraded as follows:

@tutuu

Upgrade: You may invite two players instead of one to a Forum PM to discuss a deal. You can
strike a deal with both, or with one; either one of the two players; as you choose. You automatically win the game when it reaches Round 666.

[Zone_Q11]

Wdym “everyone”? 32/36 damage was from Ishmael.

[Aleph (Ishmael)]

GALLOP FORTH ROCINANTE

[Zone_Q11]

@tutuu

Zone_Q11 attacks Daeron for 41

@tutuu

Marissa: 36 HP, 36 Energy

…wait, I just realized: Why did I attack Daeron when I was supposed to have beef with Marissa?

AM I ACTUALLY DEMENTED!?

[Zone_Q11]

Holy ****, I actually am stupid!

[Zone_Q11]

@tutuu

Marissa has 35 shields and takes 91 incoming damage. She is immune to combat damage due to Chrono Shield. She is set to take 56 Burn damage the next round. Ash would be the person receiving Parasite unless she takes more damage from somebody else

Ah, well. At least I ended up not incurring the wrath of Marissa. Blessing in disguise… I suppose.

[Marshal]

@ElizaThePsycho

Null Field: You and your actions are not affected by other powers, including your own. Upon gaining this power, gain 7 Health for every other power you have.

@daeron I’ll do literally any action you want all game. including killing myself. Can try to get ishmael to put it in hard terms

[Marshal]

also would the burn from chronosheild just not happen, since its my own ability??

[tutuu]

@ElizaThePsycho

Null Field: You and your actions are not affected by other powers, including your own. Upon gaining this power, gain 7 Health for every other power you have.

I’m going to rule that this doesn’t circumvent deals made by Devils Bargain, as that binds the players themselves (the pilots), not their actions (their “mechas”)

It says “actions”, not “powers”. So I’m going to rule that powers might still be stolen; interacted with. But rather, the actions - what you submit - that will be the one that will be unaffected

Hopefully nothing breaks?

@ElizaThePsycho

Gloves of Gemini: Upon obtaining this power, halve your Health, then create a clone of yourself with your Health and all of your powers. There may only be one clone this way.

The clone counts as another “player”. It submits actions as a separate player. If the original body of the player dies, the clone can still win the game for the player

Hopefully nothing breaks

[Aleph (Ishmael)]

would be willing to officiate if i get the right price

[tutuu]

Yes, you would just take normal combat damage, if you had Null Field and Chrono Shield at the same time

There is a degree of subjectivity in ruling this, if you taking Null Field now would cure you of your incoming Burn from Chrono Shield last round

Since Chronoshields reads - you take burn on the next turn, and you didn’t have Null Field while Chrono Shield resolved this effect. It’s like, this incoming damage stacked up in a pile, like a guillotine over your head. You didn’t have Null Field then. So I think there is argument to be made for either way - Null Field negating your assigned Burn damage, or not. I’ll ask Willow. If she can’t answer I … I don’t know. I can ask an unbiased person, a third party, who doesn’t know about the game or who’s playing

[tutuu]

(I’d rather not make a decision myself since I might be biased, and sadly I wasn’t here as a host from the start; I wouldn’t have made that mutation if it were up to me)

Actually no, let me correct. It also says “you”

I’m going to rule that: If Daeron or Ishmael get this mutation, it won’t break their existing deal

But whoever gets this mutation next - they are unable to be part of any future deals with Devils Bargain

[Daeron]

I can’t wait to give Gloves of Gemini to Ash and double the amount of Persistant Spectres
