Midday 1
Shao Kahn watch and nodded to his guards as they took both Raiden and Scorpion into isolation. It would be a huge battle in the evening and Shao Kahn was secretly hoping that the Thunder god would lose. He was very annoyed with everybody since they would not help him to find a Mark. ‘God help the next person that annoys me’ he thought. “My lord” a voiced called from behind him. Shao Kahn spun around and slammed a fist into the source of the voice which happened to be the messenger that he had sent out earlier. The messenger tumbled over with the blow. “What is it?” Shouted Shao Kahn. “My lord, I have words from the gods” the messenger replied while rubbing his face. Shao Kahn suddenly forgot he was grumpy. “So what news do you bring about the Mark?
The messenger stood up and dusted himself off. “Well my lord it seems the gods here were trying to change things in the tournament to move things in your favour but they cannot change the rules of a tournament that involves both the Earth realm and Outworld realm without approval from the earth gods.” Shao Kahn thought about this for a second, and realised he wasn’t following “So wait a minute, that means these new rules involving the mark was agreed to by both Earth and Outworld gods?” The messenger hesitated for a second “It does seem that way, Sire. Apparently they called a meeting of the gods, and that were this new set of rules comes from.”
Shao Kahn pondered for a bit. Millions of questions floated through his head which infuriated him for he disliked thinking. “So which Outworld gods are responsible for this and where does Raiden fit in all this?” The messenger stammered “Apparently Raiden was excluded from the meeting, had a hissy fit and vowed to win the tournament himself” Shao Kahn chuckled at this “And what of the the Outworld gods?” the messenger bowed low “I am afraid, I do not know who is behind this, my lord.” ‘Wrong answer’ thought Shao Kahn as he used his foot to crush the messengers skull flat as a pancake. ‘I will find out!’ vowed Shao Kahn.

GM Comment:
Contestants may continue to place bets on the upcoming fight.
Both Scorpion and Raiden are in isolation. They may not purchase items or receive any gifts of mana.
Now is the time for the evening combatants to send in orders if they have not done so.

Well I received only 1 mana donation - alas Sprig did not indicate who it was from. Speak up to get it back as promised.
I will change my vote to Cage v Reptile
The opposite actually. Something about his cocky attitude made me suspect him, so I removed some of his mana for the fight, to complicate his use of special abilities.
I will bet 50 mana on Reptile. The odds are just to good to pass up...
Clearly a suspicious bet there by CCRunner. So probably first post is a lie. I find it hard to believe that he'd waste a special ability on round 1 randomly, or even to make 50 mana. This leads me to believe Cage and Reptile are in cahoots.
If the above is true then the people who bet on Sub-Zero and are probably innocent (again nothing is proven but gives us a clue):
Yaro, ATPG, JohnHugh, Seon, Split
I do have experience with snakes and foxes, while you do not. In my experience, the mark distribution is random-- there are teams with no mark and there are teams with more than one mark.
If the premise above (that CCRunner is scum) holds true, then likely the statement above is a deception, and in fact each team holds a mark. This would be very easy to verify next day by having Mileena fight as she is the last of Scorp/SZ team.
Also, I'll Bet 50 on Raiden.
P.S. Sorry if I ruffled any feathers in my earlier effort to organize the town, I apologize, but we will need to cooperate to find the marks.

The fallacy issssss that Johnny did not sssssssteal 200 of my mana a round back. :inquisitive:
Johnny Cage congratulated Reptile by embracing him “Well done, I will be hoping for your victory!” A pained and watery look appeared in Reptiles eyes as Johnny Cage let go his embrace
Pleassssssse read that.
I am not mark with Cage. Jax is going to tear cage apart thisssss round, and if he doesssss not then I plan on. Cage WILL die. Brutally. :beam:
The Drow Brigade isssss going to win thissss tournament. Don't doubt that.

If you bothered to reply to what I said much earlier in the thread, you would see many fallacys crystal clear in front of you.
Such as: Why should there be a mark in every team? That would be 5 marks, I think not (5 mafia in a 14 player game?). Plus I doubt Sprig would be predictable enough to distribute them equally. CCRunner has played these before and said as much.
Plus I didn't rake any money in last round because I didn't gamble (you said I did :shrug: ) I find it laughable that you want to exterminate team 1 yet still want our money. :laugh4:
Furthermore, as I'll obviously need to repeat for you, the chances of finding a mark aren't that high even if you gathered 1500 mana, its too much money to waste, and given the amount of marks you reckon there are, 1500 mana = 1 marks identity doesn't even sound that appealing, and that's hoping that it will work.

Might have been one of the CFC games (he's on CFC too, he just goes by a different name), but both of the ones he was in had a mark. I think he's just making that up to point out what he wishes the game was like.

Which is the most awesome point. You kinds have to screw yourself to have a chance to win. because if you will always want your teamamate to win and they are almost always going to ask to borrow some mana, yet you could be helping a mark for all you know. :2thumbsup:
This kind of game really needs more players though. Three per team is really tough, five to six would be a good number. If there is further interest, I may just host a larger version (if i get some help).

The thing I liked about the no mark game was that you could focus on the fights, instead of having to split your efforts between being the last team standing and making sure the mark don't win. It was more fun that it sounds.
Mortal Kombat
Evening 0
The sun started to set, another crowd had gathered for it was time for the next fight. Anxiety was high as ’The Suction Mages’ had a member participating in a battle for the second time that day. Not that Raiden’s Raiders were not that comfortable either as two members had rather big losses due to some poor betting but this time it was the Thunder God himself and surly he couldn’t lose. The two fighters made their way to the arena, amidst the jeers of the crowd. The arena that Scorpion had chosen was ‘The Tomb’ and Scorpion would do his best to make it Raidens Tomb. The fighters stuck there poses waiting for the signal to start. Shao Kahn stood up and declared “Fight”
Scorpion instantly released his spear and sent it flying towards Raiden, however Raiden teleported harmlessly behind Scorpion.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20n1/raid5.jpg
And with Scorpions back turned, Raiden let out a blast of electricity that caught Scorpion by surprise.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20n1/raid6.jpg
Raiden was one to take the most of any advantage and flew superman style right into Scorpion while he was still recovering and slammed him into a wall.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20n1/raid3.jpg
Scorpion coughed up some blood as he picked himself up slowly. He was badly hurt by the sudden onslaught but he wasn’t going out like this. He fake releasing his spear and as he expect Raiden teleported away right into the true path of scorpions spear. With the spear lodge firmly into Raidens shoulder, Scorpion yelled out “Come here!” and he tugged on the connecting rope.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20n1/raid7.jpg
Raiden was helpless to stop what was coming next. The blow was huge and launched Raiden into the air.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20n1/raid8.jpg
It was Scorpion’s turn to be ruthless, now that he had the advantage he wasn’t going to relent. Raiden put up his guard expecting another frontal attack but blink his eyes as scorpion disappeared from in front of him.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20n1/raid9.jpg
Raiden was out of options, he could sense this battle slipping away from him. He teleported away from each blow but Scorpion was getting closer each time. Scorpion got a bit to close however and Raiden grabbed him.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20n1/raid10.jpg
With Scorpion thrown to the floor, Raiden get up his teleports to try and disorient Scorpion. He was getting tired, they both were and they both knew that battle would not last much longer. Raiden had one last trick up his sleeve. He teleported in close.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20n1/Raid11.jpg
With Scorpion distracted by kid thunder, all it would take is one Uppercut.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20n1/raid2.jpg
Raiden Wins !!! Raiden threw his arms up in the air to celebrate. However he heard a sound of something metal hitting the ground. He looked to where a pool of blood was forming and saw a medallion. He picked it up and recognised it as belonging to one of the demon earth gods.
Raiden Called out in a loud Voice
“This man was a Mark!
Raiden receives his share of the battle spoils, 425 mana. The last remaining member of ’The Suction Mages’ receives 425 Mana.
With the fight concluded Shao Kahn stood up and announced the the constants for the next battle would be Johnny Cage and Jax, with Jax taking arena advantage.

WTG Raiden, I like your Friendship move!

Such as: Why should there be a mark in every team? That would be 5 marks, I think not (5 mafia in a 14 player game?). Plus I doubt Sprig would be predictable enough to distribute them equally. CCRunner has played these before and said as much.

I think this lends credence to the 1 mark / team theory, and also clears Mileena, the last remaining member of T1.
With Raiden cleared by the writeup, it would point to one of Kung Lao (ATPG) or Kitana (Split) as a mark. ATPG vehemently opposed my collaboration plan just as TM did, but on the other hand he lost a ton of mana betting on Subzero (an Innocent), and then won by betting on Raiden (annother Innocent).
Split on the other hand has been quiet and nonconfrontational, I think he's a mark.
Thoughts? Comments?
Though I was a mark, I very much would have said and done the same things if I was a townie. It didn't make an awful lot of difference to me.
Sorry john, I thought I had a good chance that winning but my spear missed. Though I'm sure that's no use given my role :laugh4:

Sprig, I´m a bit confused about my winnings. How did I make 321 when I bet 175 with a rate of 1.2? Do we pay taxes?
175* 1.2= 210 plus 175= 395?

I opposed your plan because I didn't have much money. And I was irritated when you pressed me on the matter in a less than courteous way.
Another comment; You assume too much. What if you're wrong about any of the above? Being a Mark does not preclude the possibility of telling the truth just to mess with your mind if a Mark dies, so you might assume it is a lie. That's classic WIFOM.
Also, and no offense to Choxorn, but what proves Raiden isn't a mark? :inquisitive: There are marks on different teams. So, let's recap
1. There's no evidence in the writeup which suggests 1 mark / 1 team.
2. Which means there's nothing clearing Mileena.
3. Raiden is NOT cleared by the writeup in any way.
4. I'm not a Mark (Not that such details matter) :laugh4:
5. Assuming I were a mark, losing a ton of money on a battle doesn't prove it or disprove it either way. Marks can lose money too, you know.
6. A lot of people opposed collaborating with you, Yaropolk.
Now you can pillory me for opposing bad logic, or for opposing a plan I didn't have any spare cash for. Because by the way;
7. I needed all my cash to support Raiden in his fight, and some left over to make a meager bet. Giving you money wouldn't have helped Raiden defeat a Mark.
You're welcome. :2thumbsup:
Come on Scorpio, thank heavens you got to be a star for five minutes.
Stupid spell check... :laugh4:

1. There's no evidence in the writeup which suggests 1 mark / 1 team.
If this is not true, then some teams would have an unfair advantage of not having a mark infiltrating their quicktopic. I belive Sprig would not allow this. Additionally Scorpio, a mark, publicly opposed this theory while alive, giving it more credence. Proof? No. Evidence, most certainly.
This is a mafia game, you don't get proof, only clues here and there. If you want conclusive proof, lets collect for investigation tokens!
2. Which means there's nothing clearing Mileena.
It would likewise be an unfair disadvantage to have multiple marks on one team. Again not proof, but in my eyes she is less likely to be a mark than some of the teams that haven't lost a mark.
3. Raiden is NOT cleared by the writeup in any way.
“So which Outworld gods are responsible for this and where does Raiden fit in all this?” The messenger stammered “Apparently Raiden was excluded from the meeting, had a hissy fit and vowed to win the tournament himself” Shao Kahn chuckled at this “And what of the the Outworld gods?” the messenger bowed low “I am afraid, I do not know who is behind this, my lord.” ‘Wrong answer’ thought Shao Kahn as he used his foot to crush the messengers skull flat as a pancake. ‘I will find out!’ vowed Shao Kahn.
4. I'm not a Mark (Not that such details matter) :laugh4:
If that's the case, then your partner Splitpersonality IS a mark.
5. Assuming I were a mark, losing a ton of money on a battle doesn't prove it or disprove it either way. Marks can lose money too, you know.
Yes, but marks would presumably pool their mana to ensure a win when challenged. You could have bet on the non-mark on purpose to confuse us, but I dont think a loss of 200 mana is worth a WIFOM. You could have simply not bet at all to avoid attracting attention to yourself.
6. A lot of people opposed collaborating with you, Yaropolk.
I'll build a throne out of their skulls!
7. I needed all my cash to support Raiden in his fight, and some left over to make a meager bet. Giving you money wouldn't have helped Raiden defeat a Mark.
If true, would constitute further evidence that you're innocent and Split is a mark.

Poor move on their part imo... :no:

I don't really understand what gives you the right to say such remarks, considering that I am your loyal assassin, I don't think you should be questioning your long-time underlings.
Aside from that, it's obvious that your assumptions are just plain false beacuse I am not a :daisy:ing mark. End of story.

Our team doesn't even have a quicktopic.
According to the setup and rules of this game, everyone, including one's own teammates, is a suspect. This is primarily why I didn't set up a quicktopic for my team. Why would you trust a teammate any more than, say, someone who wasn't on your team? In fact, if the idea is that there's a mark in every team, and you know you're not a mark, wouldn't you trust people on other teams more than your own? There's a 1/3 chance of them being a mark as opposed to a 1/2 chance of your teammate being a mark. Therefore people on other teams would seem to be more likely to be innocent. The evidence you speak of is inconclusive, and can be interpreted to mean anything.
"AHA, he said it so you'd think the opposite if he died", one might conclude. "which has been done by mafia in most games I've been in." Just saying. Either conclusion is equally relevant, which is to say both conclusions are simply guesses.
This is a mafia game, you don't get proof, only clues here and there. If you want conclusive proof, lets collect for investigation tokens!
Perhaps. With one less mark, that has bought us valuable time. I think we can afford your plan now, as well. I would be in this time. But, only if the cost is affordable. I'd also volunteer to be investigated, since you don't trust me for opposing you so far.
It would likewise be an unfair disadvantage to have multiple marks on one team. Again not proof, but in my eyes she is less likely to be a mark than some of the teams that haven't lost a mark.
How is that a disadvantage? If one mark dies on one team, we avoid that team for much of the game. Seems to be a great advantage to the mark, anyway.
Also, if this was done randomly, the odds are very good some teams have multiple marks and some have none. If it was done randomly, the odds are very much against an even distribution. If it was done randomly, of course.
If that's the case, then your partner Splitpersonality IS a mark.
Perhaps.
Yes, but marks would presumably pool their mana to ensure a win when challenged. You could have bet on the non-mark on purpose to confuse us, but I dont think a loss of 200 mana is worth a WIFOM. You could have simply not bet at all to avoid attracting attention to yourself.
Ah, but Splitpersonality sent even more money than I did to help Choxorn win. Although I sent as much as I could afford, and ended up with zero before the battle was done. So yeah... there's something askew. Either I am a Mark and willing to give away all my money to bet on Choxorn winning, which is against your prediction, or Split is a Mark and willing to bet heavily on a non-mark, which is against your prediction, or Choxorn is a Mark, which is against your conclusion, or none of us are a mark, which is against your even-distribution of Marks assumption.
I'm no good to you or the team if I don't examine everything you're saying critically, especially if we are to fork over tons of mana to you, which we couldn't get back. If you want my support you'll have to endure a little bit of examination.
I'll build a throne out of their skulls!
Indeed, with that much mana I'm sure you could win every battle.
If true, would constitute further evidence that you're innocent and Split is a mark.
See above about Split's generosity. He had more mana than I, but still gave as much as he could.
It is ok to assess the odds and try to forge a path forward, but be very cautious to assume that just because the odds suggest, in your opinion, something is true, that it is indeed true. Assume you could also be wrong and don't write off any possibility, is my suggestion.
That said, I appreciate your efforts. It's much better than some who barely post and don't discuss.
Yaropolk
01-15-2010, 23:34
I'd love to hear from Choxorn (Raiden) - is it true that both of your teammates sent you mana?
I don't know if I can get everyone on board with this, but I think it would help the town tremendously if both combatants reveal publically who sent them mana right before their fight starts. If they die, we can see who has been helping them.
Wait so the mark set up one of their own to battle in their first choice?
Were they trying to clear one of them in sacrifice for another's life or were they just expecting to win?
Poor move on their part imo... :no:
I'll say this because it won't damage by team by revealing it. A mark is put into the battle if they don't send there choice in. I forgot too.... :sweatdrop:

Go ahead.
GM Comment: As I have said before the exact nature of the marks are to be slowly revealed during the write-ups. What we know from the writeups is that both the outworld gods and earth gods colluded to change the Mortal Kombat rules. With Raiden finding a medallion on scorpion and identifying it as belonging to a earth demon god, you have to ask yourself what are the chances that this demon god controls all the marks.
I wonder if i reveal if the marks were selected at random or not? Since I am enjoying the discussion :D
Kazaar: the odds of 1.2 were for scorpion winning. The payout for Raiden was 1.83 (including original bet.)

Yaro, though I do disagree with your plan in some ways, mainly that being putting our eggs in one basket, I had another priority this round, getting my team leader through the round.
Yes, I donated 375 of my 400 mana, I planned on betting the rest on him but forgot to bet.
In the future, so long as my teammates are not up to battle, I'd be glad to aid you in finding mark...
I thought it was 325.
If you only have 25 left over, you wouldn't be able to bet anyway
It is completely possible for a Mark to tell the truth about stuff. :shrug:
Go ahead.
Sorry about the delay, I was giving my blackjack orders out.
Basically each mark is controlled by a different God and represents thes God is such a way that a mark is basically thee God, and the MK character is just its body that it can use to interrupt the game. It wins when it outnumbers the other characters or which sprig doesn't mention, if Shan Khan is killed. But I gather that's difficult anyway :whip:.
And, given that he is also a mark, its even more unlikely. Why would I tell you this? Because In effect, losing a mark means a mark victory. And why would I tell you how to win? WIFOM my friend. :mellow:
This sounds like complete garbage, but later on in the game it will all fit into place, just don't leave it to late if you know whats good for you. :juggle2:
OK so you don't believe me? Good. :egypt:
I'd love to hear from Choxorn (Raiden) - is it true that both of your teammates sent you mana?
I don't know if I can get everyone on board with this, but I think it would help the town tremendously if both combatants reveal publically who sent them mana right before their fight starts. If they die, we can see who has been helping them.
Yes, it's true. Split sent me 325, ATPG sent me 175. It was enough to get the things I needed to defeat Scorpion.
Anyway, it was CCRunner who said there were two teams based on the fact that that's how it worked on CFC. If so, I guess 2 teams of 2 seems most likely. However, I'm not sure if there's one on every team. There could be two on one team, or zero on another.
And no, Thermal, I don't believe you, at least not fully.
And no, Thermal, I don't believe you, at least not fully.
Why would you believe me, theres bound to be lies in there somewhere. :egypt:

or which sprig doesn't mention, if Shan Khan is killed.This part in particular I don't believe. Unless Shao Khan has some immunity to being sent into the arena by the Mark, he'd be dead in just a few battles. He may be stronger than any one of us alone, but I doubt even he could take out three people in a row.

Midnight 1
Shao Kahn wondered what to do about the Mark situation, he was very glad that one had died but there remained some more. The worse news was that the mark was working under an earth god. How could the Outworld gods let that happen? Kahn watched as Jax and Johnny Cage were greeted by the officials who were ready to take them into isolation. Lead by an official Jax started to make his way to isolation when Johnny Cage called out from behind him “Don’t bother preparing for the fight, I will wipe the floor with you.” Jax turned around to retort but when he did Johnny cage wasn’t were he expected him to be. He looked down just in time to see Cage punch him in the happy sacks. Jax keeled over instantly and the officials rushed into to stop anything from escalating too soon.
Khan chuckled to himself but then his thoughts went back to the outworld gods. One of them must be responsible it would be just a matter of finding out which one.

Morning 2
Another morning another fight. This time the arena selected was called ‘The Pit’. Chanting started to come out of the crowd. “Jax, Jax, Jax”they cried. Most people were not overly enthused by the seris of low blows performed by Johnny Cage. Both Fighters assemble and were ready to begin. Shao Kahn Stood up and declared “Fight” Johnny Cage instantly flew through the air and kicked out with his left leg catching Jax in the chest.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m2/jax1.jpg
Jax leapt to his feet but Cage ducked split style and went for the crown jewels once again. The crowd grimaced and subconsciously put their hands over their manhood. With Jax semi paralysed, Cage hit him with a powerful Uppercut.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m2/jax2.jpg
Cage tried to follow up the Uppercut but Jax slammed the ground with such force that Johnny almost lost his balance.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m2/jax3.jpg
This gave Jax enough time to grab Cage. “Gotcha” he cried and he pummelled Cage in the face five times.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m2/jax4.jpg
Cage was not out though, he hit back with his famous Shadow Kick.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m2/jax5.jpg
He then followed up with a jump kick but Jax saw it coming and grabbed Cage while he was in the air and pulled him down into a back breaker.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m2/jax6.jpg
Cage could hardly move after that, Shao Kahn Called out “Finish Him!” and Jax hit Cage with an Uppercut.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m2/jax7.jpg
The Blow knocked Cage right off the pit ledge. He screamed as he fell and he landed with a sickening thud.

Midday 2
Shao Kahn was ready. Furious but ready. Furious because the mark dared to choose him as a contestant and ready because he couldn’t wait to rip someone apart. The Tournament officials made their way over to the contestants. “Lord Kahn, it is time to prepare for your battle”. Shao Kahn just sneered at them which caused them to back away a few feet. However one man spoke up, “Where is your opponent?” Shao Kahn raised one hand and pointed him out. Shang Tsung was shocked, Kahn was pointing in the other direction. ‘Out of sight, out of mind’ thought Shang Tsung and he quickly hurried away. The figure that Kahn was pointed to how ever was frozen. “Umm what’s going on here?” Cried out Kung Lao. The tournament officials surrounded Kung Lao and dragged him off to isolation. “No, wait, there must be some mistake, I am not meant to fight!” Shao Kahn laughed. “You are now mortal. Prepare to die!”
Kung Lao has replaced Shang Tsung as the contestant for the evening battle.

Evening 1
And so it was time for those selected by the mark to fight or not as the case maybe. Kung Lao was pushed out into the arena where Shao Kahn’s impressive figure was already standing. Shao Kahn saw his opponent and smiled a big grin. He raised one arm and pointed it at Kung Lao. “You will Die Mortal” he taunted. And with that the action started Shao Kahn conjured a spear out of nowhere and chucked it at Kung Lao. Kung Lao leapt into the air in a bid to avoid the Spear.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/Battle%20E2/sha3.jpg
Kung Lao narrowly avoided the attack and quickly changed his trajectory bring his foot heavily into Kahn’s unsuspecting chest.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/Battle%20E2/sha5.jpg
Kung Lao quickly jumped over Kahn and attempted to attack from Kahn’s blind side. Kahn still trying to recover from the last attack managed to put up his arms in the nick of time to block the attack.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/Battle%20E2/sha4.jpg
With his attack blocked Kung Lao was a sitting duck. Kahn slammed his foot into Kung Lao which sent him flying.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/Battle%20E2/shas.jpg
Kahn stood there and taunted Kung Lao once more, “Is that your best?” Kung Lao quickly took of his hat and threw it at Kahn. Kahn just laughed at the futile attempt but stopped when he realised the hat had just taken a big gash out of his waist.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/Battle%20E2/sha6.jpg
Kung Lao tried to take advantage of Kahn’s surprise by following up with a jump kick but it was his turn to be surprised. Kahn’s used all his speed and his massive frame to shoulder charge right into Kung Lao.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/Battle%20E2/sha1.jpg
Kung Lao was dazed and could barely stand. Kahn grabbed Kung Lao bear hug style and squeezed the life out of him. Just before Kung Lao due his last breath, Kahn threw him to the ground, pointed his finger and exclaimed “Let this be a lesson to all who dare to face me.”

Punish them by having one fight me!
If they don't select, doesn't that mean you get to pick one of them to enter the arena?
Come on, sprig, we want an update. Just pick one of the Mark to fight if they don't send in any orders!
Do I have to send in orders or something for the fight?

Morning 3
The Sun Rose above the distant mountains and Liu Kang put together his hands and bowed his head. With a silent prayer, he asked the gods for strength for his fight. Kintaro unlike his opponent was very vocal and raise all four arms into the air with a Roar. Shao Kahn surveyed the fighters and yelled out “Fight”
Liu Kang Lauched a kick that looked like he was flying threw the air, the speed of such a kick caught Kintaro by surprise and he went down with a thud.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m3/kin4.jpg
Kintaro picked himself up and Liu Kang launched another flying kick right at him, But Kintaro this time was ready for it and easily blocked it that attack then he jumped into the air landing right on top of Liu Kang. Kintaro jumped up and down on Liu Kang for good measure.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m3/kin2.jpg
Liu Kang was dazed and clearly winded. There was nothing he could do to stop the next attack, which hit him hard and launched him high into the air.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m3/kin3.jpg
The crowd grasped, As Liu Kang got to his feet again, for the crowd were sure that he had been defeated. But Liu Kang was never going to give up. Kintaro came marching towards Liu kang but he flipped over the top and launched a fireball from his hands.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m3/kin5.jpg
Kintaro blocked it but the fireball was just a ruse, Liu Kang Jumped into the air and let loose a series of kicks that caused Kintaro to stager back from the numerous blows. The Crowd cheered for it was Liu Kang’s famous Bicycle Kick.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m3/kin6.jpg
Liu Kang flew through the air once more but Kintaro caught Liu Kang By the leg and swung him into the ground with brutally force.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m3/kin1.jpg
Kintaro breathed out fire from his mouth and sent a fireball directly into Liu Kang’s body extinguished his last breath of life.

With the battle over, Shao Kahn cleared his throat and addressed those that watched the battle. “The Gods have spoken and the Mark have selected the two women, Kitana and Mileena.

i think the logical next fight is shang tsung vs baraka. neither has fought yet.
i would also like to bring up the subject of starting investigations. there are 9 of us left. If there were 4 marks to begin with, then the game ends when there are 5 people left (assuming we dont get any marks).
Mileena and Kitana cannot send out mana since they're scheduled to fight. If the remaining 7 people sacrifice 215 mana each, we can purchase one investigation. I'll try to be nicer about it this time. I was a bit aggressive last time. Same offer still stands - selection of investigation target by popular vote and pledge to return all unused mana. Beskar can confirm I stood by my promise last time.
If you dont feel comfortable with me then Raiden is another confirmed innocent who could do this, although I am probably a tougher nut to crack for marks. What do you guys think?
I agree, Shang Tsung and Baraka should fight, they are the only ones who have not fought and are not about to fight.
215 mana seems fair to give you- it's a much smaller bit of the total mana we have now than it was a few updates ago.
And sprig, it's Morning 3, not Evening 0. For that matter, the last two evening updates have had the wrong number listed for the update, too. :inquisitive:

Midday 3
It was time for the evening combatants to prepare for the fight. Kitana and Mileena were lead away by the officials without any drama or so everyone thought, Mileena suddenly grabbed Kitana from being in whispered something into her ear. Afterwards Kitana looked a little paler than usual, whether Mileena did something or Kitana just was afraid of the upcoming battle none could tell.
Shao Kahn on the other hand did not see the events unfold. He was busy trying to pin down the outworld gods that had for the last few day manage to avoid being summoned. Kahn was quite sure that come evening he should be able to pin one of them down.

Okay then, Shang Tsung vs. Raiden. I don't actually want this fight, I just want to get the vote count in my favor.
GM Comment: There seems to be some confusion about actual mana and visible mana
Your Visible Mana (on post #2) is the total of all mana gained each morning plus Battle spoils and betting. Aka this is all the actions that happen publicly.
Your Actual Mana takes into account all the covert action that you may do. Such as gifting mana, buying items and using abilities. If you are unable to work out what your actual mana is I can pm you the total. Typically I should be pm’ing you the new total any time you perform one of the covert actions.
Also with regards to battle, being the second person voted in means you will gain “Arena Advantage”, this works as a tie breaker should the damage you perform to each other be equal and you have not acquired a stamina potion.
.
BTW, Kitana being challenged against last member of a team makes me think she might be a mark trying to collect her juicy 700 mana from the last team member.
I have some suspicion of Kitana as well, but, she is my teammate, and someone has to bet on both sides for anyone to win anything.

Evening 3
The sun started to set and the crowd wondered to the next arena which was set in the forest. It was a rather fitting setting as both Kitana and Mileena played here together as children. Now, this once childhood playground would see blood as the two girls battle it out.
Mileena was clearly the crowd favourite despite only two contestants placing bets on the fight. Both Fighters eyed up each other waiting for the word to start the match. Shao Kahn cleared his throat and announced “Fight!”
Kitana took out her Fan and threw it at Mileena. Mileena did likewise with her Sais. Both projectiles hit their target.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/kit1.jpg
Both reeled back from the hit but Mileena recouvered faster and ran straight at Kitana. At the last second she tucked into a ball and took out Kitana’s legs from underneath her.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/kit2.jpg
Kitana Jumped straight to her feet and looked around for her opponent and only just caught a glimpse of her disappearing into the ground. Kitana looked around bewildered she heard a voice for above her. “Up here slut” Cried out Mileena as she drove her foot into Kitana’s head.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/kit3.jpg
Mileena disappeared into the Ground once more. But the blow she gave to Kitana was not as bad as she had hoped. Kitana watched Mileena disappear and knew exactly where to look this time. Kitana channelled her energy and might into her fans and spun them round which emitted sonic waves. Mileena re-appeared above Kitana and fell into a trap.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/BATTLE%20E3/kit8.jpg
Kitana then unleashed one of the most beautiful combos ever witnessed in the tournaments history. It even brought a tear to the eye of some of the most battle hardened warriors. With Mileena trapped in the sonic waves Kitana flew into the air with speed and grace, landing a beautiful jump kick right into Mileena’s torso, then she spun around in mid air bringing out her fan and swiped it across Mileena creating and impressive wound.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/kit4.jpg
But Kitana was still not finished, she dropped to the ground and spun once more bring her foot round and into the air perfectly timed to connect with Mileena’s falling body. “Don’t ever call me a slut” Responded Kitana with fury in her eyes. Mileena lay motionless on the ground and Kitana held up her fans in celebration.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/kit5.jpg
The Crowd roared in approval and Kitana took a bow and the crowd roared a second time. Shao Kahn Called out “Finish Her” But this was not for Kitana but for Mileena who had secretly got up and crept up behind Kitana. Mileena drew her Sai and stabbed Kitana in the neck. She then lend over to give Kitana when seemed to be a kiss.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/kit6.jpg
But it was no Kiss. Milenna bit into Kitana and seemed to inhale Kitana into herself in grotesque fashion. Once Kitana was devoured Mileena she turned to the other side and exhaled all of Kitana’s bones.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/kit7.jpg
Mileena Wins! There are no spoils for this battle
Shao Kahn was mighty pleased with the result and was very interested to see who had been selected to fight the next battle. His sorcerer and his army lieutenant were about to face off in the morning.

It actually isn't that overpowered as it meant I didn't get any mana back after the victory and it can only be used once. Still it pretty much guaranteed victory so it would have been daft not to use it, can you honestly say you wouldn't have done the same?

Morning 4
The tournament was halfway finished. The last two persons who had yet to fight entered the ring. They were Shang Tsung who had earlier been voted into battle but managed to get out of it and Baraka the loyal chief of Shao Kahns Army. The DROW BRIGADE! watched and cheered on their teammate, they hoped that he would carry on the team’s tradition of winning. They were confident too putting down big bets in Baraka’s favour.
Shang Tsung chose the City ruins on the outskirts of town for his battle. Both Fighters lined up and stuck their starting poses and waited for the word. “Fight” Declared Kahn. Baraka moved in a flash unleashing a blade that flew across and hit Shang Tsung directly in the chest.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m4/bar1.jpg
Baraka kept up the pace and jumped at Shang Tsung, He swung out both legs making good contact with the distracted Shang Tsung.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m4/bar2.jpg
Barak tried to follow up again with another drop kick but Shang Tsung stepped back and put his arms out with both palms facing Baraka whose kick fell short. Unfortunately for Baraka the Fireballs now emanating from Shang Tsung’s hands caught him on the way down and caused him to bounce on each one sending him flying back.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m4/bar3.jpg
Shang Tsung ran at Baraka and tried to follow up with a jump kick of his own but Baraka had reach advantage because of his claws. Baraka dropped onto one knee and swung his claws into the on-coming Shang Tsung.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m4/bar5.jpg
Shang Tsung was pretty torn up and realised he needed to do stop thing to stop Baraka’s speed. But this was Shang Tsung and he had many tricks up his sleeve. He morphed his form into SubZero and sent an icy blast towards Baraka which froze him to the spot.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m4/bar4.jpg
Shang Tsung Gloated “Your Soul will be mine!” and uppercut the frozen Baraka into the sky. He then landed with a heavy thud.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m4/bar6.jpg
Shang Tsung picked up the beautiful but barely breathing Baraka. A green glow seemed to surround Baraka and then started to drift away towards Shang Tsung’s outstretched hand. Shang Tsung added another soul to his collection.
https://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac72/Sprig_photos/battle%20m4/bar7.jpg
Shang Tsung threw the corpse away but when it landed and medallion that hang round the neck of Baraka fell off. The medallion was the shape of a Hawk and Shao Kahn recognised it immediately. “Wait” he ordered “Shang Tsung bring me that medallion!” Shang Tsung picked up the medallion and handed it to his dark lord. Shoa Kahn looked at the medallion in disbelief. ‘That can’t be’ thought Kahn. The medallion was a symbol of an Outworld god, long thought dead. After thinking for a while Kahn spoke up.
“It seems that Baraka was a mark!”
The winner recieves 376 Mana. The two remaining members of the DROW BRIGADE!
recieve 188 mana each as battle spoils.

Shao Kahn was deep in thought when suddenly Kung Lao appeared out of thin air before him. Kahn stood up with rage in his eyes “You” he bellowed “I killed you!” Kung Lao looked like he was about to laugh “Indeed you did but I am here now for a short while to inform you of the contestants for the evening fight.” Kung Lao paused for dramatic effect...
“Kintaro vs Jax”
“Kintaro will have arena advantage.” And with that Kung Lao jumped into the air and disappeared from sight.

I figured he was a mark with the way he was acting. So, one Outworld Mark Dead, One Earth Mark dead? That means there is two teams of mark, and probably one more mark from each of them. Having 6 would be ridiculous with the number of players, and the fact that there's still evening fights means they probably aren't all dead yet.

They got it from dead team mates, bets and +100 mana each round.
It doesn't take a number of things into account, sprig confirmed this to me when I qeuried something. Mine is waaay out for example.

+150 mana
Anyway, here are the activity levels for all alive parties:
Name Total Posts/Last 3 days
johnhughthom 25 / 2
centurion1 24 / 5
cdf 45/ 1
khazaar 10 / 1
choxorn 35 / 4
Seon 13/2
Yaro 36 / 3
Choxorn and Yaro are pretty much clear.
Seon and Khazaar have been most inactive and likely to miss orders. However I can confirm Khazaar was in PM contact with me and Choxorn last night campaigning for mana donations so he wouldn't have missed an order last night.
This leaves JH, Cent, CDF, Seon
Right now my suspicions are on Seon / CDF.

Well I agree about Seon. Maybe Centurion is a bad pick, but maybe he can get enough mana or whatever to take Seon down.

Bring it on then. Frankly I think you are mark. It would be delicously ironic.

Yes - I'm in pretty much every writeup trying to figure out who is trying to sabotage MY tournament. Raiden was written up here as innocent in the writeup:

Question for host
1) Can we have extra time to vote since forums went belly up yesterday
2) Can we vote for Jax or Kintaro to participate in the next fight even though they are already fighting tonight? What happens if the person we nominate gets killed in teh first fight?
I agree with Yaro, we need more time and also the features still haven't all been fixed yet.
Since nobody has bet, 50 mana on Kintaro.

Just manaaged to log in now. Yes there will be and extension of 24hrs.
This means the midday write up will occur in around 8hrs.
The Winner of the Seon and Jax fight will have a 24hr stand down peiod in which they can not be voted back into the Arena. This means you can not vote for them now either.

As I said, CDF is my most suspicious candidate at the moment after Seon. Khazaar/Choxorn are more or less cleared. I'd like to take out CDF, so we're down to 2 unconfirmed people next battle. Yaropolk vs CDF
I've thought him to be a mark for a while as well. Shao Khan vs. Reptile. Show him the meaning of the word FATALITY!

when I die I want everyones assurance they will kill Yaro. It is increasingly blantant that he is mark......
Frankly I do not see why you guys are focusing so much on mark.... If one team wins then they would then be able to weed out the mark in there ranks, thus townie victory. Fixating and trying to force your will on everyone else just sucks some of the team fun that this game should give.
(Also, I plan on doing my best to kill you BTW. Hopefully over your rotted corpse I will win my innocence. )

Midday 4
Kung Lao made another appearance; he decended from the skys where he had been giving the other gods a lesson on how to pronounce and spell his name. However as important as that was he didn’t didn’t want to miss Kintaro and Jax being lead into isolation. Both Jax and Kintaro gave Kung Lao long cold stares as they were lead away by the tournament officials. Kung Lao was ecstatic with the looks as they were just what he was hoping for. With the combats in isolation Kung Lao took his leave once again.

GM Comment:
Contestants may continue to place bets on the upcoming fight.
Both Kintaro and Jax are in isolation. They may not purchase items or receive any gifts of mana.
Now is the time for the evening combatants to send in orders if they have not done so.
GM Comment : Sorry for the delay in the write up, I had Husband duties that had to be performed.
You should use this extra time to place your bets and vote!!!
