Re: War Games Event

[astonishing_xmods]

With recent drops, it has come to our attention that half of the War Games threads are permanently stalled.

With that being said, we want to give folks an opportunity to discuss the results of the War Games Round 1 battles, since it seems unlikely any of them will be threaded to completion. Just go ahead and use this post for that plotting purpose. Alliteration!

Any thoughts on X-Force v. Guardian Dragons?

As far as I'm aware, it was still 2-on-2 headed for the top, but I think the only drop from between those teams was Mitsudata, who was on the ground with Marisa.

If I understood the situation right, I think Alric was ahead of Tiamaris, Flandre, and Reimu, when the gargoyles quieted down. All else being equal, he's going to keep plasma-jetting for the top, and trust Tiamaris to either follow or break off as he needs to do to keep himself under control.

Flandre tore a crater into the side of the tower to create a distraction with the dust and shrapnel; she still has enough power to do it at least once more.

Yeah, only Marisa was on the ground with Mitsudata and unless she was called on to run off and start throwing stars in the air again, she'd be highly occupied.

reimu player here; If it really comes to it, we can flip a coin, but there really isn't equality here since X-Force still had the experience edge. Reimu and Flandre were much more cohesive compared to Alric and Tiamaris.

[knighterrantofthedragon]

That's true! If there was any counter-advantage it was luck and a difference in tactical approach. In particular, if Tiamaris had to withdraw for an extended period and there was a lot more to be done with the key up on top besides just fetching it, Alric's tactical gamble would almost certainly backfire, since he'd then be alone against both of them and whatever else might be up there. Even with 2-on-2, though, Reimu and Flandre may have some extra advantage in that Alric and Tiamaris are both (I think) a bit hesitant to cut loose on people.

I'll check in with Tiamaris' player to see if there's any objection, but I suspect we're both okay with either doing something random (weighted in X-Force's favor or even) or calling it close or whatever you guys like.

Update: Tiamaris' player is OK with a random roll weighted 3-to-1 in X-Force's favor, if you want to do it that way, or even, or however!

rolled a 1d6, where 1 or 2 would equal Dragons victory, and got a 3, meaning X-Force captured the card first.

OK! I think we can definitely call it close but an X-Force win due to their advantages.
