Scare defers.
---

Of course Scare defers

This Is All Going According To The Plan
---

Alucard sets the match on fire. Literally! The entire terrain and every mercenary will start the match ablaze, himself included. He's nothing if not a method actor.
---

Tira checkaroo
---

Tag
---

Tira's dual personalities have a conflict before the battle starts, and Tira is distracted for the first 5 seconds of battle (Start of Battle).
---

Tira goes Schizo
---

Of coarse
---

Tira calls out to her flock, the watchers, to scout out the terrain. Her team will have full knowledge of the terrain and opponent starting positions. (Start of Battle)
---

customz

agnes is TIME MAGE and PERFORMER
rydia brings in BAHAMUT, king of dragons
isaac is a WAR ADEPT bringing in all of GS1's mars djinns plus Iron and Salt.

jack "not rambo" krauser sets up some really strategic c4 on summoners rift and will start separately from his team with full terrain knowledge.
---

ellie performs a really special ad lib performance I guess
---

Kirby brings Tira ability
Kirby goes Schizo <(O_^)>
---

brilliant opening gambit Mr. Tepes

boy diablo I bet you'd like to hang out in these flames right here

but too bad you'll be busy being dead

no souls can protect you from a summoner

Yuna sends Diablo to the great beyond
---

I fancy a game of Hearthstone
---

ellie didnt wanna do a performance anyway.

but will sessions skills proc on agnes teaching y'shtola the inner workings of popular game "BRAVELY DEFAULT??"
---

bravely default will resolve without going on cooldown
---

Done
---

lmao

Kirby may immediately use his Taken ability, even if it's on cooldown or hasn't been unlocked yet, without it going on recharge. If he chooses not to use the ability immediately, he may either up the upkeep limit on Taken by 2 this week or remove any remaining cooldown on Taken. (Pre-Battle).

Tira rejects every master but her own, but Kirby is happy working with Lopen I see
---

Is that meant to be 2 or was it changed from last time

Also Kirby can't actually kidnap anyone in this event so he won't.

Can I use abilities on CD or not
---

Lopen posted...

It's meant to be 2 yes

And yes he can't kidnap anyone but it gets memorized which is nice, be sure to record it on his page!

And re: using abilities on CD, IIRC yes. I think that's what we did for Ultimate Challenges, and since we're borrowing rules from it...
---

Even if it isn't what we did for Ultimate Challenges, we should let it happen here anyway. These are really just glorified exhibition matches.
---

Jeezy vs Scare is FROZEN.
---

Wee Spellstopper: One pre-selected allied merc is made immune to pre-selected abilities. Random selection/"hit everyone" abilities can still hit them, however. Additionally, that merc will be immune to magic damage in the week's battle.

Tom, Use/Hold?
---

Can I use Mix on Mighty Foot even though it will fizzle
---

Ammy uses most of veil! <3
---

Hold. Use Shadowcaster.
---

Lopen posted...

Can I use Mix on Mighty Foot even though it will fizzle

Yes.
---

Alright let's have some fun then

Kirby will remove his CD on Taken sure whatever.
Rikku uses Mix on Tira's Jolly/Gloomy and Duke Nukem's Mighty Foot. Tira attempts to kick John Cena in the face which fails.

Roll Disasteriffic chance
---

Isaac activates the Jupiter Lighthouse
He also activates the Venus Lighthouse with Knuckles at the center of it.

Isaac equips Steel and Iron and his Jupiter Djinn

XCom: Enemy Unknown....& Knuckles
Knuckles steals the PSI Panic and the Particle Cannon
This activates the Venus Lighthouse allowing him to take Char's Sentinel MEC suit

Pikachu calls upon Akuma...I mean Pangoro. Pikachu will be Knuckles Helper

Billy and Jimmy Lee teach Knux and Pikachu how to High 5 as a Pre Battle

They are also weapons masters!


---

Agnes will be a Spell Fencer and Ninja
---

No disasters today.
---

Rikku goes Schizo
---

screw it

Like I said, it's the Console Wars y'all.

Fox Trusts his Arwing Instincts.

Zero: X Form
MM: Raziel
Pit: All Bows, Guardian Orbitars, and Viridi Claws
Death scythes: Sora

Done.
---

char is a heavy

Done
---

I found a new one! Lucky me! And anyone who gets in our way is enemy... Rikku demands to be rostered this week. If not rostered, she will KO and injure a random allied rostered mercenary at the start of results. Rikku's owner may additionally choose to reduce the roster size for both teams by 1 as a Pre-Battle action. If so, Rikku will join the enemy team as an assist this week. She will swap loyalties 30s after the teams meet, and will continue to swap loyalties every 30s. Neither team will initially be aware of this. (Trigger)
---

Yessss. That is exactly what I wanted

Gullwings unite!

Rikku goes to the other team
Duke goes Schizo
---

@Johnbobb

This topic exists and it's your ability phase.

Just letting you know jic
---

Duke may immediately use his Taken ability, even if it's on cooldown or hasn't been unlocked yet, without it going on recharge. If he chooses not to use the ability immediately, he may either up the upkeep limit on Taken by 2 this week or remove any remaining cooldown on Taken. (Pre-Battle).
---

let me guess the anti-Plan cabal is demanding a freeze because they are threatened by the power of this new plan roll

you will never stop Alucard you fools
---

I demanded this freeze.

For no real reason actually I just wanted to up the drama level
---

"" done ""
---

eddv outs himself as Anti-Plan Shadow Cabal Member #1

how many confederates do you have?
---

Countless confederates, like 3 or 4 confidantes, 2 counts and a duke.
---

I've even heard rumors of a vizier.
---

every other merc leader and admin eh

it all makes sense now
---

Now the power play is to kidnap that turncoat Rikku but I refuse

Duke kidnaps CATS, can't have HIM interfere.
Tira uses Discord Parade on Kirby.
Kirby sucks up Tira (insurance to not losing abilities for clowning, you understand)

Kirby additionally brings Plasma, Wheel, and Ninja
Yu Narukami brings Kohryu
Tira brings Isis

Done. Roster Yu Kirby and Tira
---
