The Forces Approach (And Not Much Else)

Yellow Rain's forces advance! The Rocket Skiffs shoot up out in front of everyone else. (The white blocks trailing the skiffs and the dolphin are wakes. And not the Irish kind.)

The Octopus hangs back with the Storm Captain. Something "fishy" is going on...

With our powers combined, we will... get... to second base. At least, he thought it was second base. He really doesn't know. She's an effin' octopus.

"Okay, this is... just kinda awkward. I swear baby, this never happens to me! It's like I rolled insufficiently or something..."

"I'll call you!"

Red Dragon Reenactments move up, and form up into a line.

And then start singing. A sea shanty, apparently. Are they... are they Pirates now? Were they Pirates before?

Wait, where did they find booze? I think things have gotten out of control... Oh well, maybe Booze makes them stronger (or weaker?).

Ba BUM ba-ba bum bum, Ba BUM ba-ba bum bum. That's the Flight of the Valkyries. The Everynerd is blaring it, while he jets out.

The Black Barge Rats hang back by the barge. The Pontoons and the Scootypuff stick close, ready to run interference.

The Barge just kinda shifts forward. It's slow - REALLY slow - but it's trying.

The Blue Barrel Tub motors up a bit. Then, the first attack of the game! The crew fires the Big Boy out, toward the Rocket Skiffs. (You might be able to see the target marker in the background.) The projectile will land next turn.

The Overview - from Team 1's Side, and then from Team 2's Side.

Alright. Send next turn's orders. Go for it! (By 10pm pacific tonight, or sooner.)

I, uh... I think it was the other way around. And not in a "he was totally asking for it" kinda way. No. He uh... he hit on her first.

Yellow Rain has some... interesting approaches to things, apparently.

Dude he better succeed with that shit next turn. I mean, seriously. I could you know just try to shoot my enemies. Or I could do something that no one else thought of and have it potentially end up being incredibly awesome!! I mean, seriously. I don't win forum battles for being boring. I think outside the box and end up doing crazy awesome shit.

Just make sure he doesn't "roll insufficiently" again. >_>

Post by **Warhead** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 5:05 pm

Fuck yeah! I'm 100% with Natalya on this one. Anything goes and should be allowed. No matter how crazy or sick or game breaking. It means the rest of us just have too do better to counter it.

Hey hey, "Live by the Die, Die by the Die" is my motto for these things (with a heaping helping of Fudge). Failure isn't just an option, it's a probability.

By all means, try awesome things. But don't expect to always succeed. Even if the success is awesome. Because sometimes the failure is equally awesome (or, as in this case, grounds for hilarious comments).

Post by **Warhead** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 5:31 pm

Good, I don't doubt it but I didn't mean you, sorry, you at least tried, and it was hilarious. Some others, nah, ok, one other, um, ok, maybe two I have experienced... hmm, there are some very funny things keep happening to their dice rolls IMO. I no longer play their games.

Wait... how are you determining that it's a really "cool looking battle" if you can't see it?

I'm... I'm confused.

I believe we're waiting on Strana's orders. And then the only thing we have left to deal with is evening classes.

Quickly, use your combined mental powers to cause a blackout on my campus! Gooooo!
