So Org has two Healing and one Defense, Solifuge has two Defense and one Speed.  I think that making Solifuge even more difficult to hit sounds useful.

Assist Solifuge's Defense with Earth

[Criptfeind]

Criptfeind, what are you going to do?

Well... I am conflicted. ON one hand Org seem much more helpful this game (Which some people say is a scum tell) and so I want to help him. As for Solifuge he has made some good points about why I should assist him but he is rapidly cycling between feeling scummy and towny. Really what he has done in one day to my thoughts about him it would take anyone else two weeks to do.

Right now I slightly leaning towards him being scum. My gut says help Org but I don't want to do it because I can not take it back. Basically I have been hoping and trying to make something big happen. It is not.

This is like buying a video game.

I will Assist Org's healing with water.

You say Vector is scum and then proceed to offer absolutely no evidence.  Good job.  It's not like Vector hasn't been discuessed to some extent already...

And then you post the same post again a few posts later *adding nothing new*.

See if you had read that post you would know that I found what at the time I thought was a giant glaring flaw in something Vector said, something that I thought was proof she was scum. The post that was a repeat was, once again if you had read it you would know, a sarcastic remark about how her rebuttal did not make any sense or help her case at all.

It turns out I was wrong on both cases and she was just smarter then me. Not really a scum tell.

...

Looking at it it looks like Solifuge can not be hurt and Org can not take enough damage to be hurt for more then a round... Who wins?

[JanusTwoface]

Neither of those is strictly true.  If I remember correctly, all combat roles are from -10 to 10 so even three boosts isn't likely to make either person invulnerable, just a longer fight.  What it really comes down to now is if Org's affinity is Water or Solifuge's Earth and if either can correctly guess the other's affinity.

[Criptfeind]

Oh. I thought it went -6 to 6. Been reading too many RTDs

[Leafsnail]

Jim Groovester seems to have changed his mind enough to dodge all my points against him, but not enough so that he'll do anything differently.  Right.

Note too his justification for keeping Org alive - it kindof sucks.  Just because there's an (idiot) guardian alive doesn't mean the scum would kill him automatically (they probably wouldn't, for WIFOM).  And if he is lying, then he won't be incapacitated anyway (due to being on the cabal team).

I don't believe Org's claim.  He got the flavour wrong.  If he actually were a Guardian, he'd know that was the name of the role (he did this in a Paranormal game we played before, too).

[Org]

Because Guard isn't close to Guardian at ALL, while Doctor is?
And you call me an idiot.

[Jim Groovester]

Leafsnail, maybe if you had read the thread before you got excited at another chance to call everything I say bullshit, you would have realized that everything you were saying was completely redundant to a discussion I had already had with other people.

So I wasn't really point dodging at all. You were just late to the party.

But I guess you've got to make it look like you're participating somehow. And what better way than to quote everything I say line by line and call it bullshit!

Because if you hadn't done that, well, it might look like you're lurking. But you didn't bring up anything new. So I guess it still sorta does look like you're lurking.

[Toaster]

He's done nothing particularly damning, and he explained his reason for the statement eventually.  I'm unconvinced, but I stand by my no assist.

The trouble with a No Assist, at this point, is that the scales have already been tipped to one side. Unless I've got Org's affinity right and have a run of good luck, I have no chance at winning this. Like it or not, a No Assist in this case is choosing to back Org, through your own inaction. I could draw parallels to World War II, but I get the feeling that if I further elaborated, it'd probably be twisted to be some kind of Scum Tell.

If you feel we are equally worthy of death in the Arena, you'd seek to neutralize the playing field, by contributing some of the same Assists to me as were put on Org. Otherwise, you're taking sides. I'd note that this is also a convenient way to look non-partial, and play it safe by "not getting involved". Pretending to be useful, while sitting on the fringe when the chips are down, happens to be a classic Scum sign, whatever the Mafia.

How do you figure that 3-3 (at the time, now 4-4) is unbalanced on assists?  I can't make it more balanced than that.

[Solifuge]

When that was written, the new batch of assists hadn't gone through, and they've since changed again. Anyway, I've got my attack in, and I'm recklessly excited to see how this goes.

If I felt so inclined, I could argue that Org's Affinity has rendered his Assists roughly 50% more effective than mine (with the +4 Affinity Assist synergy thing)... but the truthfulness of that notwithstanding, it still feels like whining.

Set-up phase ends ~5pm Pacific Today. If Toaster and Jetsquirrel are content to keep their no-assist action, I can end the set-up phase early and work on the write-ups for the duel and side actions.

[Toaster]

I'm not changing.

[Solifuge]

Looks like we're just waiting on one more. Oh wait, what's this?

I dont want to assist anyone either. Nope.

...Gogogogo?

[Jim Groovester]

It takes time to run the duel and do the write up, you know.

And with Org's Wolverine regeneration and your Colossus defense, it might be hours before Meph sees the end of the duel.

[Vector]

... Now you got me thinking about X-Men and how much I hate the convoluted storyline, despite loving the characters.

Screw you too, mate :I

[Mephansteras]

I've started working on the write-ups. I'll have the duel run sometime soon, but we'll have to see how much time I have to finish the actual write-up on it. Might not actually finish that until tomorrow morning, depending on how it goes.
