Listen up Mortals!
Shao Khan is not a mark - why? BECAUSE SHAO KHAN SAID SO!
Orders are as follows - first we eliminate the marks, then Shao Khan will kill everyone....I mean then we'll fight for the win! Marks will likely choose Innocent vs Innocent to fight, so we can kind of confirm them that way kind of.
SHAO KHAN DECLARES that team bickering will be our downfall, therefore mark investigations are a priority!
- Marks were assigned after team selection, so they have access to everyone's quicktopics, probably even mine! This means we're looking for 4-5 marks.
- To show that I mean business, I think we should challenge Kintaro vs Subzero (Seon vs Captain Blackadder)
- Keep your teammates accountable - keep track of their actions. Better to kill a mark on your team and lose the battle then hand control of the tournament to the marks and lose the war. Look for people on QT who are trying to direct the kills every round.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't there a lone mark, not several marks?

Interesting, since the rules continually state "Mark" in the singular.
My eyebrows are raised at you who knew this already.
*edit* did anyone else know this?
The rules were the same on CFC's game, and there were 6 marks in that. Of course, there were also 40 players instead of 14, so 2-4 marks seems more reasonable.
Its in the singular but being used to denonate a organization silly.Quote:

:tongue:
The singular "Mark" just throws me. I've never, ever heard the term "Mark" used in the plural, in place of "Marks".
Except the mark is not a thing here, its not like a physical mark or the currency. Here it is a organization (or something to that effect) hence its name is simply, "the Mark" or "Mark" In which case it does not require the plural, as it already inherently means a group of people.Quote:

It doesn't roll off the tongue. I don't care for it. :snobby:
So its like pretty much every other part of the English language then :tongue:Quote:

They can also pick themselves if they really want to. Or if they don't really want to, like what happened to Charles and Azale in the CFC game.
So, Marks instead of Mark, and separate teams of Marks instead of Marks. :laugh4:
I was wayyyy off.
Am I the only one who's getting really confused by this?
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?Quote:

I think I just got Split to freak out. When he was asking about my role, I said that "townies don't get a role PM" and that he was "busted". Then he sent a message to Sprig asking if he was a Mark, because if so, he just screwed it up.
Good times. :2thumbsup:

Look, just because I'm secretly a mark, that doesn't mean you couldn't also be one. J'accuse!
When they kill you, I'll be free to rule the Earthrealm. Nothing can stop me now. :stwmean:
Did you even read your mark role PM? It says that we're partners in the red text near the bottom, come on man, way to lose the game for us...Quote:

DUH! There's two role PM's. Get it right.
Silence, mortals, or I will electrocute both of you.

”Enough” Shouted Shao Kahn “I don’t care what marks are or how many there are, just that we should find them and kill them.” The tournament had got off to an interesting start. It was quite clear from contestants that everybody but Shao Kahn wanted to see two ninja battle it out and so it was that Reptile and Sub-Zero were being singled out. Still, everybody was sizing each other up and Kung Lao was quite disappointed that Raiden didn’t bring back any diet coke for the team. Nevertheless, everybody was looking forward to the evening when the contestants for the morning battle will be finalised.
=================================================Tally:
SubZero – 9 (CCRunner, Cultured Drizzt fan, Seon, Choxorn, Askthepizzaguy, Thermal Mercury, Centurion1, Captain Blackadder, Yaropolk)
Reptile – 8 (CCRunner, Cultured Drizzt fan, Seon, Choxorn, Askthepizzaguy, Thermal Mercury, Centurion1, Captain Blackadder)
Kintaro – 1 (Yaropolk)
=================================================
GM Comment: Please note the Gekkamir has taken over Rhawns role due to a PM mishap. Apologies.
Please place your votes for two combatants if you have not done so..
I will enjoy ripping out your spine reptile boy. Perhapes then i will freeze you and shatter you into many pieces.Quote:

When really its simply quite rude and clearly a fake intention. :laugh4:
Prove me wrong - change your vote to Kintaro!
:inquisitive:
Sub Zero vs Kintaro
Well, I suppose it doesn't matter much now, so SubZero vs. Reptile
Now if you will excuse me, I'll be playing with my arm-blades.
Vote: Kintaro sorry boys, this seems like a more interesting battle to me.
You have two votes! Who do you wish Kintaro to fight?Quote:

So I guess I can't bet on myself huh? :laugh4::laugh4: Too bad.

EDIT
Don't invalidate this, I just needed to fix my spelling.
Vintaro? Is that some kind of Italian food?
Enough people have said it seems pointless to vote any other way so that it would be about a tie between CDF & Seon by now.Quote:

Anyone know where a good place to host WMV files that I can easily link to? Otherwise I will just be posting a link to Youtube and I would rather embed the video into the post.
Okay, this gives me a better picture of whats going on. I have a question about this though, what happens when one of these two teams of Marks dies? Does the other team control who both of the contestants are? I'm assuming that the two teams of marks only know about the people on their team and not the other, considering it would make no sense otherwise. Are the two teams of Marks trying to kill each other or are they working together?Quote:

Shao Kahn is NOT convinced that there are two teams of mark. Shao Kahn DEMANDS that host comments on the situation - are there one or two teams disturbing my tournament.Quote:

Okay, I don't know. If Sprig didn't mention it it's probably information that isn't supposed to be known to the townies, but it would be helpful if this was a little more clear. I don't know, what ever.
Vote: Kintaro
GM Comment: tsk tsk besker... who do you want Kintaro to fight?
RE: Mark.
Such information as to the nature of the Mark and the reason for their existence will be released during the updates. You all should take note of what Shao Kahn says during the updates.
Now help solve my video hosting problem so I can embed your battles into my updates :D
Kinato can fight anyone and everyone. I just read a comment that it would be a fun write-up and a good match. That is the reason.
You know what, I think I'll vote for Kintaro vs. Sub Zero instead.

Evening 0
Shao Kahn was no mere Mortal, He was a powerful sorcerer much more than even Shang Tsung. He had long since bent the gods of Outworld to his will and now that it was night, it was the appropriate time to summon them. A shadowy creature wearing a cloak appeared inside Kahn’s Throne room. “You called My Lord” the creature croaked. Kahn strolled down from his throne and grabbed the creature. “What is going on with my tournament?” yelled Kahn. The creature gasped for breath and gasped “Yeah... Ab.. About that, a... a... a couple of the other gods got together and they... they decided to try and tip things a bit more in your favour by altering the rules..” The creature stopped talking as he started to turn blue from Kahn’s grip. Kahn grew more angry, and threw the creature to the ground and yelled in fury “What about these Marks that decide who is in the evening battle?” The creature looked at Kahn in fear, “I am not sure my lord, they are working for some of the other gods, and you will have to ask them” Kahn finally lost his patience and grabbed the creature by the throat and twisted its head right round so that you could hear the vertebrae break. The creature slumped and dropped to floor. Kahn stared at the lifeless body.
Kahn spoke to the body, “you tell the other gods that I want to meet!” The body of the creature suddenly stood up. Its limp head was still hanging at its side. “As you wish my lord” the creature whispered as it disappeared into smoke and Kahn went out to address the combatants.
“It seems you have picked out the combatants for the morning fight.” Kahn addressed everybody. “The combatants will be Reptile and Subzero!“ The crowd roared in approval. Kahn continued, “the combatants will be led into isolation at midnight to prepare for the morning fight and Reptile will have the arena advantage"
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 and walked away. Reptile leapt forward but an icy feeling swept over him and he turned around to see his opponent for the upcoming battle standing stoically in front of him with cold eyes. There was no doubt from anybody that if looks could kill both reptile and Zub zero would have killed each other several times over.
=================================================Tally:
SubZero – 12 (CCRunner, Cultured Drizzt fan, Seon, Choxorn, Askthepizzaguy, Thermal Mercury, Centurion1, Captain Blackadder, Yaropolk, Gekkamir, spL1tp3r50naL1ty, johnhughthom)
Reptile – 8 (CCRunner, Cultured Drizzt fan, Seon, Choxorn, Askthepizzaguy, Centurion1, Captain Blackadder, johnhughthom)
Kintaro – 5 (Yaropolk, Thermal Mercury, spL1tp3r50naL1ty, Beskar, Gekkamir)
Johnny Cage – 1 (Yaropolk,)
=================================================
It is now Night. Marks, you may now send in your selection for the next evening’s battle.
Contestants may now place bets on the upcoming fight in Royal Blue.
:brood: I will remember this Cage, Better hope I don't live through this. You and CB are both Mark in my eyes!
I believe Cage just sent Reptile some of his mana. This is quite unusual for non-team members. Let's keep an eye on the pair! We'll be able to tell if that was mana by the count that's publically announced.
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.
Ah, so that's what your special abillity is.
GM Comment: No brave souls willing to venture a bet of mana on who will win?
Sub Zero can handle himself, and if he fails, it will be my revenge, team mate or not. :mellow:
I'll bet 100 on SubZero
Question for GM - when do results of mana sending become public? IE if Cage actually sent mana to Reptile as I originally suspected, when would we see his new public mana total reflected?
You won't.Quote:

I'd like to bet 50 on Sub-zero. I don't have much mana, so... don't want to risk too much.
:brood:
Cage, The Sssssecond Sssssubzero goesssss down, I am going to pay you back for this little decissssion.
Then I would like ssssome peace and quiet. :brood: without 50 people using there abilitiessss on me ssssssimply because I ssssaid I wassss going to eat Ssssubzeroessss face.
If I die firsssssst round because I got hit with a bunch of different abilitiessssss, I am going to be pisssssed.
I'll bet 100 Mana on my teammate SubZero.
I bet 10 mana on Reptile. Make me proud some profit, CDF!

There might be subzero confidence in you, and you will most likely lose horribly, but I will at least make you feel special with a bet.
bet 100 on reptile.

I'll bet 100 mana on SubZero
I´ll bet a 100 on Reptile...
Looks like my gamble failed.
I will change to minimum to SubZero, I like him better as a character anyway.
I'm confident that my teammate will win. 100 on Reptile
Unlike you guys, I'm not going to make a sissy bet. 150 mana on Sub-Zero.
Bet minimum amount on Sub-zero
I really like that text color :o
Me too. I am going to steal it.
Reptile surrender now and I will make you death quick and painless otherwise prepare to be shattered.
