Welcome ladies and gentlemen to another bout in the annals of violence! On the left, played by me, it's the fire hazard that walks like a woman, it's Kallistar Flarechild! And on the right, played by Gutter Owl, it's the queen of blood drives, it's Xenitia Zook!  This game will use the   Only one will walk away! But who?

I'd actually prefer to use Force Gauge, if that's okay? EDIT: I went ahead and submitted two starts: One for SAC and one for Force Gauge. gutterdaughter fucked around with this message at 03:51 on May 4, 2016 |

I'm cool with Force Gauge. I've never used it before and I keep misspelling 'gauge' but w/e. This process is also revealing many problems with Battlecon Bot too, which I'm fixing on the fly as we go. It looks like it's chopped off part of my submitted discards/finisher, so you may see the same thing happening. I can fetch any details from the emails, so we haven't lost anything, I just need to work out why it's doing what it's doing.

Er, I think the bot is having a problem? It asked for ante, I submitted one (prefixed with Ante:), and it replied back. "Error 3: You need to specify a move, but didn't. Use 'Move:' followed by your move of choice. Much love, Battlecon Bot."

I will investigate. Watch this space. EDIT: That one was a problem with the cleanup script being a little overzealous. Thanks for helping me work the bugs out of the system! EDIT2: Also I ended up reprocessing the current turn while I was testing something else, so if you see those emails in your inbox a second time, that was my mistake. It's still your turn to ante or pass, though. potatocubed fucked around with this message at 12:43 on May 5, 2016 |

I think that's the way the rules work, right? You have to make the legal move available to you? If I'm wrong let me know and I'll re-jig events as necessary.

Playing this game PBP is a lot like playing Subterfuge. You submit your orders, make your move... and then have plenty of time to realise your dreadful mistake. Although there's less betrayal, so there is that.

Ignition shot's going to break your stun guard though. I've written the post assuming retreat 1 but if you want to retreat 2 instead it's fine.

Frick, I screwed up the ante input. I sent "Draw 4" instead of "Ante: Draw 4," and it registered the reply as "no ante" instead of returning an error message. EDIT: I mean, this actually works out MORE favorably for me, but I wanted to be honest. Should we execute it with or without the ante? I'll leave the choice to you, since I screwed up. gutterdaughter fucked around with this message at 08:42 on May 11, 2016 |
