Round 26
SSBB = Super Smash Brothers Brawl
To all of those interested in joining, there are no sign ups. You can just start playing right off the bat. If you need additional help, I am here most of the time and more than willing to try to help as much as possible.
Story as of now:
- Senator Barak Obama pic from
his website
The Grunties run around the arena. They circle around the outside of Sephiroth’s lair a few times before running off. They head into the arena and straight at the Guard Armor. They send the beast flying who lands on Leon, I mean, Squall [KH-ers should get that] and squashes him for -4 damage. The Aqua Grunty pulls ahead while the others stop to laugh. It wins the day by a large, ugly, watery nose followed by Rocker and Iron in that order.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Inside the arena. Everyone is glad to have their friends, and Zell, back.
Meta Knight: What was it like being trapped in the past?
Snake: Oh it was horrible! There were all sorts of weird sounds and smells, constant howling and roars at night. I even think I heard a mating call. But once I started ignoring Kratos, everything was okay.
Kratos: Ha, ha. You’re just jealous that you didn’t get a souvenir.
Snake: And I thought watching you rip a shark to pieces was scary. Did you really have to desicate the remains after you killed it?
Kratos: Yeah! I had to show the other creatures who was boss!
Snake: You ripped the head off of their chief predator.
Kratos: Okay. So I didn’t
have to, but it sure was fun!
Everyone groans at Kratos.
Chief: So, do we want to finish the competition?
Zell: Nah! The RPG people will just keep interfering. They are so annoying.
Chief: No one was talking to you... ever. Now go away and play with Donut.
Donut: Yay! A new friend!
Kratos: I don’t think we should. I found a new respect for my friend here.
Snake: Me too, even if I am just saying that because I saw the guy tear the head off a giant lizard. ... I think I need therapy.
Everyone starts laughing as if that was a joke.
Snake: No! I am serious!
Everyone just keeps laughing.
Kratos: So am I, buddy. So am I.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The GM once again comes out to his balcony.
GM: Greetings once more. As all of you may know, today is the start of Black History Month in America. As a special treat, we will be posting fact sheets about prominent African-American people or organizations each day this month. I hope everyone enjoys them.
0500/1700 Rule: Regardless of when the last update occurred, you may make actions
after 5AM/PM your time zone. There is no need to wait for an update to make an action, but it is recommended. Any actions that break this rule will not count as a legal action and will be promptly (eventually) pointed out. If you miss one of the posting periods, you will not get an extra move. I will allow posts +5 minutes in so you don’t have to rush your action.

Specials follow the same format where appropriate.
Specials and weapons should be used before regular attacks can be used.
Special users can defeat one 1 or 2 HP NPC of their choice in addition to their special use (meaning without targeting the NPC with the special).
Super Smash Attacks (SSA): SSA actions are powerful, character-specific moves with special effects. They can only be activated two ways and usually involve the character being removed from the game (see below) for a short time. The SSA use counter does not reset until all characters have used their SSA. To activate: either use a Smash Emblem or buy it with some points. They may not be ready at the start of the game, but I’ll finish them as soon as possible.
Removed from the Game (RFG): Unlike in Magic: The Gathering, this is not a permanent effect. Characters removed from the game cannot attack or heal but cannot be targeted. They return to play after a set amount of rounds. At least three characters will remain in play at all times.
Special Character - Gogo: Due to Gogo’s unique nature, I will post his information every round. If there are any questions, PM me, and I will willingly help.
Gogo cannot attack or heal. He is active every round. He has only one special which he uses every round.
Special: Mime: *Gogo copies the last action done (the post above this use). *Gogo’s user may choose new targets. *If a special was used, Gogo receives -3 damage in addition to the special’s effects. *Cannot mime SSAs or actions in the GM’s posts. *Cannot be the first action of the round. *If Gogo is not used, he automatically heals for +1 HP each round, but he starts with 30 HP at the beginning of the game. *He counts as male for gender related contests.
Sample use:
Code:
[b]Gogo mimes [Last Character Used] and [Copies the last action as player sees fit][/b]
Starting/Maximum HP = 50
Factions
Castlevania: +30 - Vampire Slayer - Characters can automatically defeat two NPCs with 1, 2, or 3 HP or defeat one 4 or 5 HP NPC in addition any other actions this round

Round 26 Announcements:
1:
Bracket B is Active! Bracket A is Inactive!
2: Today starts our very special tribute to Black History Month here in America. As Aaron McGruder once commented in his famous comic strip, Boondocks: ‘Flu season is longer than Black History Month.’ As I noticed last year, I was one of the very few people that actually observed this month in a very limited extent. Last year’s Black History Month was capped by the rejection of the legendary Buck O’Neil (more on him later) by the Baseball Hall of Fame and two white owners from the Negro League (more on that later) being inducted over him. Each day this month will be dedicated to at least one important, influential, historic, or otherwise great (in at least my eyes) African-American person or association. I hope we can all learn something.
3: Today’s subject: Senator Barak Obama. I like him. I really like him. Sorry Hilary, he has my vote (barely edging you out). He owes a little thanks for getting elected to the Borg. He is one of too few African-Americans to be elected to the US Senate. (If demographics were accurately represented in the US Senate, he would be one of a dozen). He is also one of the few African-Americans that could actually become the first African-American US President. His stance on pressing issues is evidently middle-left, but that is a good thing since most of his big causes are pro- working- and lower-class citizens. Call me crazy, but I think he sounds like The Rock
4: Oi! Finally got to using our Neopet reps! Busting out their good move too.
5: Daily winners: Rolls: (3, 2, 1). All of the points are going to Christopher since he guessed closest on each and dead on for the placement. To avoid another argument (boo), Okamoto will also get +1 point for guessing Aqua would win. PS: For those that are concerned that my dice have some sort of bias, I have dozens of white die, only one red, and two blue. I test each white one to make sure it doesn’t have an apparent bias, but I am literally stuck using one of the other colors.
6: Finally got to Purin! Not her best move, but still a good one.
7: The Guard Armor holds a prize for the one who defeats it. Since the Guard Armor is instantly defeated once its HP reaches 0 or less HP, you will know if you are the one to make the kill. Just post your pick for the number when you finish it off.
8: Oh! And
to the item today. It is our last new item for this game and a fun one to boot. Good luck with it!
9: Speaking of new things for the game, I am working on a Red vs Blue based Halo stage. (Like how Black Mage is more like his 8-bit counterpart than FF version). If I get a working model any time soon, I might test it with you like I did many games ago with GS.
10: If you have any suggestions on subjects for this month, (I only have 34 left, including a very, very special one for the end) feel free to post them
11: Wow! Look at all of those long paragraphs! Hope you read them all!
12:
