[PbP] Let's Play King of Tokyo! (Reskinned for PA!) Game 6 is over!

If you've never heard of King of Tokyo, you should look it up. And watch some people play it. And buy it and play it with your friends and family.
You should also play it here, on the forums, in this thread. Because we're going to play...
I've taken King of Tokyo and reskinned it with a Penny Arcade theme. So now, via the wonder of Play-by-Post, we can beat each other up in our quest to be the very best (like no one ever was).
Before we take a look at the pieces, let's talk about the rules.
The goal of the game is to be the first warrior to reach 20 Victory Points; or the last warrior standing. You do that by rolling dice and doing some combination of attacking, healing, collecting energy, or scoring victory points. I'm not going to repeat the rules here since they're available as a free pdf on the IELLO website. Just replace the word "monster" with "warrior" and the word "Tokyo" with "Arcadia" and you're pretty much set.
Our forums have a built-in dice roller. On your turn you will use it to roll by typing in
Geth, roll 6xK for Roll 1
(or Roll 2, or Roll 3, or whatever description fits). This tells Geth to roll 6 "King of Tokyo" dice. The results will be displayed at the bottom of your post.
If you're going to reroll some dice, make a new post and indicate what you're keeping from the previous roll. This is actually built into the dice roller because Infidel and IcyLiquid are awesome. Examples:
"6xKaa" would tell Geth to keep two Attack results and reroll the rest.
"6xK3e" would tell Geth to keep a 3 and an Energy and reroll the rest.
This will probably result in lots of posts (usually 3 to 5) for each player's turn, but that's okay. When you've finally decided on what you're scoring on your turn, just make one more post summarizing everything and then tagging the next player.
There are two spots on Olympus, analogous to Tokyo and Tokyo Bay. I haven't named them because naming them is unnecessary. Either you're on Olympus or you're not. When there are 4 warriors or less in a game, one of the spots on the board will be removed. I will handle updating the board with who is where, who has what cards, etc.
These are the 9 warriors that you can choose from. As in the real King of Tokyo base game, the differences are purely cosmetic. I will handle updating your warriors to reflect changes in VP, HP, and Energy.
This is a sample of the cards that will be available for purchase with your Energy. Some of the names are the same as those in the base game, while others have had their names changed. All of the actual card effects are the same as those in the base game.
Now I need you to sign up! Games have started but I'm always open to putting new people on the list.
