Event update

First off, sorry for getting this out so late. This was supposed to go up yesterday and then it did not.

Anyway, for those that have signed up for the Capture the Flag tournament

On side A

One side B

And for a quick run down of the teams.

Team Catture - Cielo & Gale
Team Tiger Festival - Duke & Sophie
Team Mirabulls - Gamzee & Tavros
Team Awesome - Hayner & Roxas
Team Nirvana - Serph & Sera
Team Ai + Otoha - Ai & Otoha
Team Katsu + Squall - Katsu & Squall
Team Hope - Dizzy & Ky

As you can see it will be played in three rounds. Which would make it logic to have three deadlines for deciding who wins which round.

For the first round (round orange) please let me know by thursday 6pm, vatheon standard time (EST) who won the round. If you cannot come to a decision by then, I'll go for guidance with the all mighty random number generator.

For the second round (round blue) please let me know by saturday 11:59pm, vatheon standard time (EST) who won the round. If you cannot come to a decision by then, I'll go for guidance with the all mighty random number generator.

For the third and final round, AKA the big finale, you have no deadline for deciding who takes the gold. It is a pretty small scale event and the price is only some star fish tokens so take your time. Or decide immediately. Whichever suits you best. If you cannot come to a decision, I would be more than happy to click the random number generator for you.

As for the prices, the winning team will go home with 25 star fish tokens each. The second place team will go home with 20 star fish tokens each. And all the participants will get a mug.

I'll put a thread up in this post for reporting the match outcomes to me. You can use the rest of the post for discussing and deciding who gets to win. Again, sorry for getting this up so late. If you need a refresher on the rules, they are right over here

Are the matches happening at the same time? Just wondering if someone in a match could watch one of the other matches :>

Edited 2012-06-05 07:17 (UTC)

All the matches start at the same time, but seeing as there is no fixed ending time and one match might run longer than another match, characters could watch at least part of another character's match. Does that make sense?

Yeah, it does! Thanks :3

Team Ai + Otoha will be taking the win for this one!

In the battle of kitty cats, Team Tiger Festival emerged victorious!

Team Hope wins /o/

Hi everyone ! :3

I'm Ten, the Serph player for Team Nirvana :> Might as well start discussion here, since I don't think Guy has a Plurk? And it also so happens that I may not be available much before the deadline, so I might as well make the most of what time I have to get the ball rolling |||OTL

I think it'd be useful to list out the possible advantages and disadvantages each side has, and work towards a result from there.

For Team Nirvana, I think their main advantage is that this event's being run in the Forest, which is pretty much home ground for them. Serph, at least, knows the forest pretty well.

On the other hand, Sera is currently an (adorable) puppy and unfortunately, Serph is not fluent in dog :T Serph also has no powers for this event, though Sera has powers over water (Shun, please correct me if I'm wrong!).

/pats

Uh. Well Otoha can fly in his Atma form, he's naturally quick and sharp anyway... I don't know what Ai is for the event but he'll probably leave her to guard and take an aerial view of the field. :T

Yep! Sera is the water equivalent of Chibiterasu and has some power over water. She can make bubbles, paint small areas of water, etc. etc.

Her disadvantage is that she's young and a dog, so she can get distracted if something that interests her pops up.

Sorry for the late!

I haven't decided what Ai quite yet, though I was leaning toward being a Sailor Senshi for the lulz.

But yeah, leaving her to guard would work for me.

Leaving someone to guard the flag sounds like it'd be easy for Team Nirvana to find the flag, but they might have difficulties getting it back to the home base :>a

It sounds like it could go either way, though, so I'm cool with dice rolling it. How about you three?

Dice rolling is fine with me since I know Serph is pretty competent in strategy. Otoha not as much. Otoha has the aerial advantage but is bad with this form still. /).(\

So yes dice roll.

Dice roll is fine with me too.

I'm down with whatever. :)

Alright, in that case, I'll do an AIM dice roll, since I have great faith in the AIM dice!

1) Is for Team Nirvana to win, 2) is for Team Ai + Otoha to win!

ninjaoctopii rolled 1 2-sided die: 2

Looks like Ai and Otoha are taking this one! :> Let me know if there are any objections, otherwise I'll put up the result in the Match Outcomes tonight (which is about 12 hours from this comment TIMEZONES! o9) !

Good for me. :D

No objections here. Thanks for taking care of it :)

No worries :3b

Hey Hey~ Tavros~ See the puppy. Go get the puppy and be distracted :D :D :D

I don't even know what Roxas and Hayner will have in terms of advantages.

So I vote for dice roll?

I'm cool with a dice roll. Gamzee and Tavros have some advantages from the demon thing but they have the disadvantage of being... Gamzee and Tavros. They'll probably derp out.

derping is very much a thing that can and will happen. If they win it won't be through an over abundance of skill.

Dice roll is also fine here. About all Roxas has going for him right now is... determination? Yeah. Complete lack of powers and easily distracted poke-sidekick could also result in loss.

Watch as Gamzee completely forgets where he hid their flag in the first place. Is that bonus points or a disqualification?

So guys how do you think this one is going to work out?

On the one hand Katsu won't have his demon speed etc.

On the other hand idk what everyone else has for the event. |D;

Ky is a Djinn from Supernatural and as such has super strength, a sort of touch telepathy, and the ability to send people into a hallucinogenic coma -- also by touch.

They're not all that advantageous for this, but he's certainly at no disadvantage for it either.

He also knows the forest sector quite well.

Squall has...

...the power of Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards.

I SUPPOSE HE COULD TRY TO USE HIS MONSTERS TO DO HIS BIDDING AND SET SOME TRAPS MAN.

yeah not really suited for capture the flag

Dizzy is a magical girl~ Modoka style.

She probably has powers she won't use anyway.

But she will at least look cute and all xDD;

Sound to me like it could easily go either way.

I'm good with just RNGing it up if everyone else is.

I'm cool with that! \o/

Also cool with RNG o7

Since the deadline is pretty much now, I did the RNG for us.

Team Hope prevails!

HEY HEY LET'S TALK CAPTURE THE FLAG

Cielo's a kitty troll, which I suppose is not bad! He knows the forest extremely well and is quite at home in it.

Uhm. Duke's an Angel - From Tales of Symphonia. It... means his magic, strength and speed are upgraded... at the cost of his sense of touch and some of his ability to emote (what ability to emote)

Animals probably find him too scary to help out right now, but .. he also lives in the forest. oops.

Totally missed this, derp. I was going to make Sophie human, but I kept flip flopping on it so I'm just going to leave her as she is in canon :/a cuz I am made of fail.

laksdf I am late but. Guys what do you think about the outcome for this?

I admittedly have almost forgotten about this as well (most RL stuff, sorry).

Ai doesn't have much if any combat so if it comes down to that she's not likely to win against fighting game characters. Unless, you know, magical girl powers from the event automatically grant her some amazing abilities.

I'm up for a dice roll if nothing else.

By the way, I know I'm super late with this, but since Ai and Otoha are working together, after this event wanna do some sort of thread where they at least interact on some level?

Otoha is a ridiculous fighter. I don't know anything about Magica, to be honest. :T He also has a transformation and long-range skills but... hm.

Also yessss. Does she drink? 8D;

Unless there are police for that here, this seventeen-year-old girl will drink!

The most combat skill Ai has naturally is shooting people with static electricity/magnetism. Which doesn't amount to much, admittedly, but if anything else she can use a bat to bludgeon people if all else fails.

I think the first round was won on a total, yet entertaining, fluke.

Edited 2012-06-09 20:13 (UTC)

Excellent. He has a bar she is welcome to visit.

... I think I vaguely remember that from seeing one of the manga covers or something.

asjdfd oh Ai. And yeah probably though Otoha can swoop down on things so?

Ky would look disapprovingly at that drinking, but he's too French to do so.

Ky can put people in comas...and is still going to be trying very hard not to do that, and would probably forfeit the game if it actually happened. He doesn't have any long-range skills for the purposes of the power swap, though he does have a good head for strategy.

Dizzy is also a magical girl (from Madoka) for this event.

Strategy in this case would rely on information collected, right? Ai's been pretty silent-ish since she came to Vatheon, and the only time I can see Ky seeing what Team Ai + Otoha are capable of would be during their previous match, which may or may not have finished in time for Ky to witness it.

That, and the power-swap stuff would probably throw any pre-existing notions to the wind.

If you want to explore how Ky would react to putting someone in a coma, I'm up for Ai being the accidental target (though it would still bring up the question whether Team Hope would continue after Ky does so or if Otoha would have to go into the final round alone).

Sorry for being so derp about this. I don't know anything about anyone else's canons for this round.

Information collected, yes, but also Ky's a member of the Defense Force and the forest is his assigned sector, so I'd imagine he'd know it pretty well. He's also fought Otaha before, in a sparring setting, though with power swapping that won't be much of an advantage.

Ky would probably be able to get her out of the coma pretty quickly -- basically time will pass much faster for her and she'll live in some sort of fantasy world where one wish was granted -- so it would only be a question of if psychologically she was willing/able to continue to the next round.

Yeah, Otoha would be taking to the air for most of the round if he could, and his skills are pretty good both in terms of attack and in terms of being able to deal with the area. He frequently runs on the roofs in Vatheon anyway so I'm not worried about the trees...

However, due to the power swap he can feel pain, so if someone hurts him somehow he'll be stunned pretty badly.

I don't think Dizzy can fly presently (but I know nothing about Madoka) or the extent of her canon-swap, since she does have wings in her own canon.

Combat is supposed to be highly limited for this, but Ky would be doing his best to avoid it entirely, which would probably give Ai + Otoha some sort of advantage.

It sounds like the biggest advantage Ky and Dizzy would have (besides knowing each other beforehand) would be the knowledge of the terrain that Ky has, as you mentioned. In that regard, Team Hope would be ahead.

I think it may be best left up for a dice roll, all things said.
