SRK Arena Hunger Games 2: Pirates Arena Day 14: The Chief is our Champion!

[AlphaCommando]

I’m looting the Platemail. Wouldn’t it be wild if Aidebit’s power was that he could throw daggers essentially making them ranged?

Well, I just found the thread (thanks to DG for tagging me and Hecatom for quoting it) and I must say I’m quite pleased thus far. Sponsor(s), I owe you big.

Now, I could go all Texas Chainsaw Massacre up on some bitches, but who to kill? Chief is definitely a threat if Mafia’s any intention, but Godots Jason & BK have played this before. If I kill Blindknagg that also pisses Bious off, which is never a bad thing. Hecatom looked at me funny in the writeup, but he assisted in @ing me so he’s spared for today, as is DarkGeneral himself. Everyone, make a case as to your survival. I don’t intend on announcing my target to the thread, obviously, so assume it’s the only thing I’m going to read from you.

I’m guessing you might view me as a threat. But I could also be a good ally. Neither you nor I are naive enough to believe trust is worth anything on the first day. I’ll let my first action make my statement for me.

Do me one favor, RF. Don’t attack Jason. I want him to die by my hands (eventually). Jason, until I’m able to kill you, I’d agree to a shaky alliance.

Fair enough. I won’t attack Jason unless he, or someone else, gives me a reason to.

Instead of just asking a favor, how about a trade? I tell you what not to scavenge tomorrow so I have a better chance of getting what I want & I won’t attack Jason under any circumstances. If you scavenge what I’m going for tomorrow then I slash him up. Deal?

Alright pie. For now, you’re at the bottom of my kill list. And for the record, I am looting the Platemail, which I don’t think you are going for, so it should work out, right?

Don’t. I’m aiming for that armor. If you get it and I don’t I will kill you for it.

Hmm… word of mouth is fickle.

In any case, eloquence is important; and so is trust.

@RadicalFuzz‌ and @Aidebit‌ are the only weapon holders right now sans the Arena GM. Anything spoken would need to appeal to them both.

Stealth will only buy time so the most powerful tool is compromise.

My ability is very valuable to everyone including sponsors. If no one cares about abilities, I bid you good game and hope to land a sponsor early next round because broken. lol

Interesting statement. I assume you won’t go more in depth about this amazing ability to protect yourself, correct?

I can’t cross the dude with the chainsaw. You can definitely tell me what not to go for.

Good, that makes things much easier.

By the way, when’s the first day end?

Noon PST (3 EST, 2 Central). So my job is to stay away from the platemail, right? I can do that.

Today the platemail, tomorrow something else. If you want to kill Jason that badly then you’ll need to either convince him not to go for it or convince me not to kill him for it.

Chainsaw > You

But bringing up that possibility does unnerve me. I might go for something else at the last second. Not going to say what, then people would try to defense-block me.

[jasonC]

I don’t get it.

Well, that shouldn’t be too hard. Jason, don’t go for the platemail or RF will kill you later. It’s pretty cut-and-dried. If he ends up too powerful, we can take our shaky alliance further and take RF out before it gets unmanageable. The game is clearly designed so that one person can’t just completely run a train, Anchor Vergil style.

[AlphaCommando]

I don’t get it.

Wouldn’t it be wild if jasonC’s power was that he automatically wins the game if he’s alive on Day 2?

[The_Chief]

@jasonC what did you do to make everyone hate you?

I mean, I don’t hate you but the bandwagon is outside honking the horn.

[jasonC]

Ok @RadicalFuzz‌ listen to this reasoning:

We both loot the platemail - and you get it - you become a monster.
I get it, I become 0/4 - and still non-threatening. And then you’ll target me next phase…or will you? If you do, you’ll die free at the hands of whoever picked up any ranged weapon this phase. You could consider that and try to loot some other armor, but really you’ve wasted a turn. You’d waste 2 turns if you did decide to kill me phase 2, because then at phase 3 you are still armorless and probably anyone who owns a ranged weapon who didn’t target you phase 2 is probably then stealthed and targeting you phase 3.

So, I suggest to you that go for some other armor uncontested. It would really suck (for you) if Aidebit did indeed throw a dagger and you failed to grabe the platemail because I snatched it up.

[DarkGeneral]

Right now i am interested on the reflex buster, the staff or the large shield
I don’t really feel safe now after that write up :shake:

*Those, plus the platemail were the items I narrowed down to before submitting my scavenge. You want some defense, I want some defense. How about we work something out? We can let the bambina take the staff and we sort out who gets the buster and shield. How does this sound to you? *

I’m not gonna let him take that platemail - if he gets it…he becomes beastmode. I’ll stop him now.

I’m aware. I haven’t decided if I want to go for it or not yet. It’s one of those “but if it works” scenarios where the risk and reward are both quite high.

[DarkGeneral]

• @Hecatom‌

What say you? This phase is coming to an end quick and I would like to sort this out.

[jasonC]

lol I don’t feel any hate. Well, I killed pie last game. That’s about it.

Still vulnerable to grenades, blunderbuss, crossbow, flintlock pistol. It doesn’t worry me.

Sounds good to me.
What do you want to scavenge?

[Blindknagg]

I’m a little sad that the grenade got nerfed(?).

[jasonC]

Actually I think it got buffed.

*I’ll take the large shield if that’s fine with you. *

Ok, i will try to take the Reflex Booster :tup:

[Blindknagg]

@jasonC Yeah it’s not an instant kill anymore but the change opens up for some new plays that may have improved it. I guess you could target yourself or someone else that is mad tanky to give them retaliate against whoever attacks them.

[jasonC]

Dude, it wasn’t insta-kill last time. It was the same before but it was only 2 dmg. That’s why I didn’t know when to use it when you gave it to me last game.
