Round 29
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:
- Super Bowl XLI pic from Wiki (due to rumors that there are worms and other nasties on the Super Bowl website)
The Octoroks spit rocks at Yuna, Captain Falcon, and Katarn for -1 damage each. The Kremlings chomp Hayabusa Ryu and Tails for -2 damage each. The Grunties race around the arena one last time. They plow through the doors to Sephiroth’s lair one last time. This time Sephiroth is prepared. As a precaution to some nut interrupting the game, Sephiroth installed a hidden spring trap that ejects the Grunties back to the field. The Iron and Aqua Grunties land past the finish line with a heavy crash. The Rocker lands last.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Snake and Meta Knight are sitting down at Otacon’s pad. Many other guests from Col. Campbell to Bartholomew Fatima have gathered to watch the game. Kratos is on his knees bowing to the 4m high and proportionally wide television screen.
Kratos: May Aphrodite bless you with many beautiful maidens.
Otacon: Wow. I didn’t expect that response until after you found the open bar.
Kratos: Open bar!?
Looks. Sweet Dionysus!
Kratos rushes over to give thanks to the god of wine and revelry.
Otacon: Great party so far, right guys.
Snake: Glad he is not Link, or else you would have to hide the rot gut.
[If you get that, I’ll give you a dollar. ]
Meta Knight: I am not holding his hair back once the drinks kick in.
Snake: Shouldn’t be that hard. He’s bald!
The friends share a laugh.
Otacon: Where is Pit?
Snake: He had to shake Madden. He should be here eventually.
Sam: So who is doing the halftime this year?
Gordon: Some royalty. A prince.
Dozens of people look up, from Edgar to Cecil to Bart.
Edward (Gilbert) [FF IV]: He means the singer Prince, not an actual prince.
[If you know why I chose him, you get another dollar. ]
More people groan than had looked up.
Zell: Dudes! Quiet!
Chief: Right. All rise for the national anthem.
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.
Preferred Attack format: ‘

Example heal: ‘

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

Mushroom Kingdom: +50 - Mega Mushroom - All members deal double damage for the rest of the round, but cannot use weapons. Negative side effects are doubled for members

Round 29 Announcements:
1:
Both Brackets are Active!
2: Still no new requests? Okay...
3: Today’s subject: Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy. They will be our head coaches for the game today. They are the first African-American head coaches to go to the Super Bowl. They have also guaranteed that we will have our first African-American head coach to win the Super Bowl
Smith is officially the first since his game was over hours before Dungy eked into the Super Bowl. How the two will play their teams remains to be seen. All that is known is that we will have a fun game.
4: As always after the races, the results will remain up at least though tomorrow.
5: Daily winners: Rolls: (3, 3, 1). MJ and Okamoto both got placement. Typhoon and Okamoto both got the winner. Christopher got the closest number of pips. Okamoto also had the closest total and number of placements. Points given out: MJ +3, Typhoon +3, Christopher +3, and, our big winner, Okamoto +46!
6: Okay. I couldn’t think of a better contest to have. Sorry.
7: Reorganization: By clothing color. Not trying to be racist or anything, I got an interesting idea to group by clothing color. Okay. Most wear black or red or blue. They were then split by groups of color with no real regard. A: Red, blue, pink, and green. B: Black, grey, white, brown, yellow, orange, and silver.
8: Reorg facts: Unique color - Grey (Edge); Most characters in a color - Red (11) ; Least characters in a color (non-unique) - Silver (Siegfried, Silver) and Brown (Ganondorf, Katarn)
9: If you have any suggestions on subjects for this month, (I only have 31 left, including a very, very special one for the end) feel free to post them
10: I tried to pick items and specials that relate to the game today. I hope I did a fine job.
11: Christopher earned +10 points for watching 26 episodes of a series in one sitting. I barely had the stamina to watch all of Star Wars over the course of a week. Recently, I could barely make it through a whole season of Red vs Blue in one night and their seasons aren’t even 3hr long!
12: HRB soon? I’ll consider posting the info soon.
13:
Both Brackets are Active!
