1. Rounds start midnight Eastern time. It's X:XX right now so figure out your time relatively 2. Please only use one account, for one reploid. You're just a loser if you have to cheat and pick up a second robot with an alt to essentially be your slave in battle. Also don't manipulate a family member or friend into joining and being under your control. Banning for this reason is possible. 3. Do not delete posts. You can only redo actions if you post the corrections before someone else takes their turn. Leave the other actions up though, because if you delete them I simply won't give you a turn that round. Because I like feeling powerful. 4. If you find a cheap loophole or something you might want to ask if it's intentional. If you just start abusing a loophole though rest-assured I will correct it. Sorry, I don't want my work reduced to crap because of a simple mistake a player takes advantage of, and whining and complaining about how I'm not fair won't help.
+ Can't attack the same robot twice in one turn.
+ Can't use the same tech two rounds in a row.
<ADVANCED>
Charge
Charging is fairly simple, when you charge I RNG a number between 1-8 and that becomes your charge score. Here is what the charge chart looks like
Above 8 is when you get into special charges, which add neat special effects and all that. But how do you get above 8? You can charge up to twice without firing the charge shot or resetting, which allows you to add the two charge scores you get together and hopefully propel into the more powerful charge attacks.
Kills
If you score the killing blow on the enemy you are entitled to learn one of his skills to be used as your own.
If you score the killing blow on a long-term enemy you'll also be entitled to a free upgrade. Long-term enemy means that you basically didn't just go after him in the past few rounds to score the kill on him. It'll be judged in a case-by-case scenario basically, but obviously you'll need to have been fighting them for at least 5 rounds and suffered a substantial amount of damage from them.
Status Effects FREEZE – Lose one action the next day (So from 2 to 1) 50% chance to wear off at the end of the round BURN – 3 - 5 damage at the start of every round. 50% chance to wear off each round PARALYZE – 50% chance each action selected will fail. 50% chance to wear off each round Maximum of 2 turns each
Bonus Character - Cloud
Rewards
The top 4 players will be guaranteed a slot in the second round of the mega man arena. The top 3 will all get a boost in stats, while the winner will receive a nifty item or something like that.
<CHARACTERS> All characters have 250 health Mega Man Expert Aim 4/4 - Do 10 damage to enemy. This damage cannot be reduced
That Red guy that gives you power ups I can’t remember his name 2/2 Search, if you don’t get anything you will search again and get a minor item guaranteed.
Rush Jet – 5% chance to dodge all attacks (Passive)
Ice Man Frost Bolt 4/4 – 10 Damage, Afflicted with FREEZE target can only use one action next turn

Game Starts at 12 AM Eastern, (11:30 for Quick man)
<BASICS> - The basics on how the game works, what you need to know how to play. <ADVANCED> - Intricacies of game and explanations of how actions are used/work, read here once you intend to play and have the time. <CHARACTERS> - Pick one of the 11 characters to play as once you've figured out how to play
My e-mail and AIM. I love to talk about the games, either concepts for future ones or the action going on in the current one. I'm strictly unbiased and won't give anyone an unfair advantage, though anybody can contact me to discuss strategy or get some tips. My advice is strictly based on what anybody could deduce from the game though, I don't give out knowledge you don't already have access to.
Terms A basic list of terms you'll need to know to play.
Action - A command given to your reploid. You get two "core actions" per round, though some don't count for your two (referred to as "doesn't take an action") and some might even give you more actions. Turn - The sum of all of your actions in a round. You should post your entire turn at once. Round - One full day. Rounds are used to measure how long some effects last, and at the beginning of the next round everyone gets to do more actions! Attack (capitalized) - The normal attack command. attack (not cap) - Usually refers to any kind of straight-forward assault on an enemy. If it is a smidged amount of damage (like 3 damage from Virus) or damage taken from the robots own actions (like activating a Proxi-Mine) it doesn't count as your own attack on them. Health - How much life you have left. Shortened to HP. Skills - Your two starting actions unique to your robot, if you destroy another robot you get to learn one of their actions.
Actions All of the commands you can give to your robot in a turn. After you post your actions, I'll determine any of the random parts with a random number generator and post health and bolt totals. Then I'll post the results for your reference. The only action you can use twice in one turn is Attack, but you also can't attack the same enemy twice in one turn.
Attack - Do 3-18 damage to selected enemy. The damage is a simulated three dice roll, so you do 1-6 damage 3 times. The majority of outcomes are in the 9-12 damage range.
>Charge - Add damage or special effects to your Charge Attack. You can stack up to two charges on each other
Defend - Halves the damage from the next attack on you this round, wears off at end of round.
Skills - Use any of your acquired skills. You can only use one skill per round, and you can't use the same skill two rounds in a row.
Search - Look for items. You have ~40% of finding a regular item, like health or a cool weapon.
Item - Item includes a number of actions involving the use of objects you find.
~Trade - Want to buy an item somebody else found searching? Want to try and sell off an item you bought but don't want anymore? Want to swap assembly items with another? If both of you agree to the trade any type of item combinations (not upgrades) you can do so freely. ~Use - Use an item. This takes an action, you can use two items in one turn.

Good Idea!
So Suppose I'm Jeff Zero (Megaman)
My turn could go something like this
Charge Charge Attack Iceman
Suppose The first thing I would do is roll for the charge... Which comes out as a 6 meaning a +5 to the next attack
I then roll for the attack by rolling three dice Which comes to 13
13+5 is 18
The text for the update would be
Mega Man Charges and Attacks Iceman
Iceman Takes 18 damage, and is at 232 HP
Suppose Sceptile was then ticked off, and decided to use his move
Frost Bolt Megaman
Sceptile can't use any more offensive actions on Megaman this turn so he could attack someone, else or scan, lets say he scans
Scan
I would then roll Megamans passive dodge to see if it missed (Integer from 1-20, 20 is a dodge) Rolls a 1
so the text would be
Iceman uses frost bolt on Megaman
Mega man takes 10 damage, Megaman is FROZEN
Megaman 240hp FROZEN
Iceman Looks for items....
and then I would announce if any items were found, still setting up the item chart so I won't actually go through that, but rest assured it will be done by tonight
any more questions?

Search Search if I did not find an item the first time, or X otherwise
legal?

"As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero." -Vaarsuvius, Order of the Stick
I have a complaint. Won't this take absolutely ages to finish?
Also, about my Frost Bolt, it specifically mentions that the target can only use one action next turn, so does that mean I can troll Cloud / anyone else who's somehow obtained more than two actions?

Welcome to board 8 where projects either are done in two days, take aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages to finish (Hi Mana), or are dropped shortly after they are started
masterplum posted... Frozen status reduces actions by 1 not to 1
And it won't take that long
Well, but Frozen Bolt appears to have a second effect according to the wording. That's what I'm asking about.

Shouldn't
Should just FREEZE someone. Bad wording was Bad
From: _Regaro_ | #024 Are we allowed to make part of our actions at one point, and then make the rest in a later post?
Ehhhhh......
Going with No on this one. Wouldn't make much sense, and it would confuse me.
From: Blairville | #026 Question: when I use Propeller Pulse on someone, it says they cannot Attack me. Does this mean they can still hit me with a skill?
No

No
But using it costs nothing, it has an infinite number of uses, and (at 12 players) he can prevent any three people from attacking him while nothing stops him from attacking them. Doesn't this leave him completely immortal unless he's lynched by at least four people?

Uh..... theres no lynching, someone can attack him at any time.
And if you guys turtle too much, I'm going to throw in Random events to screw with you

I don't mean in a mafia sense, I mean in a "large group of people beat the hell out of someone" sense. Which is the most common result in these types of games (attacking one-on-one will just result in both of you dying; you need a group to eliminate your target before you take too much damage or else winning becomes impossible you as well.)
if he's completely immune to everything from one-fourth of the Game, this type of mass assault becomes the only option to even scratch him.
EDIT: This isn't a complaint, mind you. I'm not saying it should or shouldn't do that, I'm just seeing it does.
