[Wiz-War Tournament] Game 4 - This war is over (El Skid WINS)

Game 4

Welcome to the maze.

Turns have STARTED. Get your counter-spell orders in now.

READ. THE. RULES.

And the FAQ.

Some changes to the above to make it playable over a forum
Counter-Spells - Because no one wants to have to wait for everyone to say whether or not they will counter any given spell by another player, all players will instead queue up their counter/reaction spells with conditions. For example, if I had a Full Shield (Counter any spell targeting me) in my hand I could queue it up by saying "Cast only if someone targets me with an attack that does damage" or "Cast if someone targets me with any spell" or "Cast if someone targets me with [specific spell]". These conditions can be as specific, multi-tiered, and creative as you want them to be. These should be PM'd to me once you get your starting hand/draw new cards and can be changed whenever and as often as you like. If you don't set anything up for your counter-spells, they just simply won't get played when its not your turn.

Turns - Turns will also be PM'd to me. You will have 24 hours after the previous player turn is posted for you to PM me your turn (this may change based on various factors or majority player demand). Your PM will contain the exact movement and timing of all the castings of your spells. Because there are counter-spells, however, if something gets countered in the middle of your turn, then it gets countered and your turn will continue on. In order to account for this, you can put conditionals in your turn order. For example, "Move down, Cast Lightning Bolt targeting Red Wizard. If lightning bolt is countered, then transform into Gnome and move Up, Up. If lightning bolt is not countered, then cast Fire Wall on right side of A-4 and move Up, Up." These can be as complicated or as simple as you want/need them to be.

Communication - All communication should be done in this thread. No PMs. Absolutely no sharing direct information about your cards.

READ. THE. RULES.
If you need clarification on any rules or cards, send me a PM.

    Well hello there.

    Only two opponents, eh? I guess my odds aren't as bad as I thought they'd be, anyway :P

    Just realized that maybe I wasn't totally clear, but you control the wizard that is the same color as your name in the OP.

    I was just looking at the board...And it doesn't actually seem to be symmetrical.

    There are 3 entrances/exits to red and Yellow, but only 2 entrances/exits to green territory. That seems odd. Also, I am envious of how well defended Red's chests are compared to mine :P

    The board wraps around. There are actually 4 entrances/exits to my territory.

    Three wizards appear from nowhere in the middle of a darkened and cramped maze. They each deal with the teleportation sickness in their own way and start to sense for danger.

    Gandalf_the_Crazed doesn't want to wait for someone to come after him, so he acts first. Gandalf_the_Crazed moves north and senses that he needs to protect something just past the wall to his left. He backs off a bit (to avoid getting hurt) and then destroys the wall between him and his assumed charge. Gandalf_the_Crazed sees the his green treasure and boosts to make it there as soon as possible. Then picks up his own treasure. His precious.


    actual orders:
    Move up
    Move right
    Cast "Destroy Wall" on the wall separating G6 from G7
    Move left
    Discard "Large Rock"(3) for extra movement
    Move left
    Pick up my treasure.
    Draw two cards.

    I thought there was a door right above red's base; between B7 and C7.

    I've been debating about putting the actual orders in some spoilers. For things like cards that have been discarded to boost, I wouldn't transcribe the whole card that was discarded, just the name, though. Would that still be useful info?

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    Probably, knowing if people are valuing attack/counter/trap cards might be of some use but it doesn't really change that much, mostly its just out of curiosity what other people are doing since I'm new to this.

  • ObiFettObiFett Use the Force As You WishRegistered User regular
    Completely understood and agreed.

    I am going back and putting the actual orders (minus failed conditionals) into every update post. That should help communicate and show the other players what the active player actually did within the game framework.

    Just remember to delete trap placements when you do that, please. :)

    I love the writeup by the way, ObiFett. Apparently the Green player's treasure is the One Ring- Bonus points to Gandalf if he casts an invisibility spell in the next couple of turns. :P

    SeGaTai heard the sound of an exploding wall to his north and turned around just in time to see a green wizard dart into the explosion. Well, thats worth checking out. So SeGaTai cautiously heads toward the green wizard and faintly hears soft whispers of someone talking very lovingly. Maybe he doesn't want to know what green is doing...

    actual orders:
    Move up, up, up to J7-Play no cards-
    Will be discarding 0 cards and drawing 2 cards

    El Skid hopes that the silence after the explosion meant that a fellow wizard had just misfired and killed themselves. Maybe he can loot something from the body...

    El Skid listens closer in the direction of the explosion hoping for some more clues . He starts to hear some disturbing whispers. He would rather face whatever is on the other side of that crazy portal in front of him than deal with what he just heard. He sprints right into it hoping it pops him out anywhere other than here. He doesn't get his wish as he is greeted with more stone walls and El Skid can still hear the whispering, just from a different direction.

    actual orders:
    Down, Down, Down to C9.
    Cast no spells.
    Draw 2 cards.

    Gandalf_the_Crazed sprints back through the exploded wall and notices a red wizard giving him a weird look. Gandalf_the_Crazed shouts "8 CRACKS OR GET THE FUCK OUT" as he summons a gigantic Stone Block right in front of the red wizard. That threat now dealt with, he sprints forward and sees the perfect place to hide his precious: with his other precious. He drop his treasure next to his other treasure, then boosts and backs up. A teardrop falls from one eye as he takes one more loving look at "those that complete him" and casts a wall to block them in, safe from anyone else. He then skips gleefully down the hall while singing the following song:
    actual orders:
    Move east
    Cast Stone Block on I7
    Shout "8 CRACKS OR GET THE FUCK OUT" at Red
    Move east, south
    Drop treasure
    Discard Energy (4) for movement points
    Move north
    Cast "Create Wall" on the line I just moved through, blocking MY PRECIOUSSSSSSSS in
    Move east, south, east, all the while singing this:

    Also, I think the turn update is inaccurate. I only have 4 cards in hand, plus 2 maintained spells, right?

    EDIT: And I created a wall, not a door. It's correct in the narration, but not the "status update".

    That was more of a general overreaching idea for the game, as opposed to what we should do next turn.

    Though you ARE 4 squares from being adjacent to SeGaTai and 3 squares from being in LoS of me...
