Unlikely. The Karin vs. Kehrolyn matchup can be defined by the following interaction:

Karin plays Coordinated.
Kehrolyn says, "Ooooo! A puppy!"
Kehrolyn attempts to pet puppy.
Jager bites Kehrolyn.
Jager whimpers.

Stupid Exoskeletal

Frig! You read my counter-read!

Advance 2 with Feral.

edit: So apparently Overload can't clash. Did you know that? I apparently didn't. <insert swear words here>

So it's been a week, but Andarel and I have already talked about what our pairs are for this week. Since we already know, I'm not going to let either of us change. Especially since I got the worse of this exchange.

He played Exoskeletal Grasp, and I played Howling Strike.

2 to the left.

Ooo ooo! Pick Mutating! You know you want to!

(And yeah, I'm fine with the advance)

OmegaGoo

Mediocrity: the standard of survival!
So yeah, advance 2, retreat 2, Karin retreats 1, Jager moves 1 to the right.

OmegaGoo

I am irritated by this fact.

The wording, not the choice. The effect definitely does what Andarel says it does.

Andarel posted:

Amusingly, it wouldn't actually - since you couldn't move, you wouldn't, and Jager wouldn't damage you. I guess theoretically it'd work with Grasp?

The wording is just really bad.

It wouldn't work with Grasp as written. The rules for activating effects are (or are going to be, not sure which) "you must choose a legal choice for any effect. If there are none, the effect does not activate." So you couldn't use Grasp to move the opponent onto Jager, because that's not a legal move.

The effect is definitely supposed to be "If an opponent would move into Jager's space, instead they don't and they take 2 damage."

Edit: Let's try "If an opponent would move into Jager's space, instead they stop moving and that opponent takes 2 damage."

Instead they stop moving, I think. Otherwise advance 3 would coordinate 3 times.

You know, I knew that was the result, but I totally forgot to word it that way.

Ah yes, the Mutating Exoskeletal Shot.

Yes, I will swap. Put the sucker to 1.

Also, Jager moves 1 to the left end of beat.

Advance 3. Jager will move 2 to the left at end of beat.

Yup. That's a lost match if I've seen one. Here goes everything!

Advance 1 EoB.

I'd rather take the guaranteed draw than the "you lose if you guess a 50:50 wrong, but if you guess right there's still another 50:50 that is draw/lose unless Karin plays something totally insane" where the best scenario is a draw.

Well, that's entirely reasonable, and that's no fun. ;)

Nah, you got me into a stalemate from a fairly smooth game on my part. Very impressive.

We, uh, kinda got tired of the slow pace and would like to take it to real time. Probably next Tuesday.

In that case it might make sense to do a thread with one person posting the moves as they're done, as a log? It'll make it easier on whoever is moderating, and people will still get to see the record of the game.

I'm ok with that.

We might want to figure out a way to get a third person to "moderate" the game, since this IS the top 4.

Y'know, if you have a problem with my modding, you could at least have the common decency to tell me rather than me having to ask.

Oops. I did not mean it like that!

For me, it's that the match took over a month while Andarel and I constantly talked about it. With the palpable stakes here, the length of time between decisions was frustrating.

It has literally nothing to do with your modding, and everything to do with the format.
