Very bad thing? I don't see anything very irregular...
Am I inviting a horrific night session?
Yes I am.
nice write-up ATPG... good way to end the tie.
There was some impressive wifom going on in my head as I tried to figure out which weapon to pick. On the one hand, I thought, "He's gotta pick the katana, everyone loves a katana, so I should pick the nunchaku....." and then I thought "But wait, if I know that everyone loves a katana, then surely he does too, so I should pick the Shurikens to counter the nunchaku he picked to counter the katana...." :laugh4:Quote:

I had the same sort of thing going on in my mind, too. Except when I got to the point where I should pick shuriken, I figured "No, he'll be expecting me to do that if he thought as far as I did, so he's probably gonna go with the katana just because I would expect someone to want to and therefore not pick it, so I have to go with nunchaku to counteract that."Quote:

My apologies for not getting to the writeup on time.
NIGHT ONE-
The six remaining crew returned to their quarters. The hum of the power systems was all that was heard... until the sounds of screaming woke everyone up. They all rushed to the common area, but no one could figure out who had been screaming. Assuming it was just a nightmare, they all went back to sleep.
In the morning, more of the ship's systems were damaged. But all six crew members were still alive.
Crew remaining: 6/7

Looks like the Wheel of Death spins Ninja Duel again :sweatdrop:
Methinks I should cut down on the number of games I play, 5 isn't a very healthy number with a week to exam :sweatdrop:
White_Eyes has chosen his form of combat. Now it is up to Johnhughthom to decide!
EDIT: Both chose the bo staff. Select again!
EDIT2: Johnhughthom has chosen his form of combat. Now it is up to White_Eyes:D to decide!
Oh my, well it took nearly all phase in order to get this ninja duel finished, but it was done! And now, the results will be posted. After that, it will be Day phase again because I got the orders already.
Be right back with the story.
At the end of the second day, the crew of the Canis Majoris were undecided as to who sabotaged the ship. Suspicion fell equally on White_Eyes:D and Johnhughthom. As mandated by the Pizzaguy code, the tied vote required a ninja battle to the death. The fighters chose their weapons and prepared to defend their honor.
White_Eyes:D: I challenge you, Johnhughthom. You tried to run from a fight yesterday. Now there is no escape.
Johnhughthom: Discretion is the better part of valor, oh Whitest of Eyes. You should not be so eager to embrace death... for it comes to us all.
White_Eyes:D: Especially YOU! And I shall be that one which brings that very same death that comes to us all and make it move in your general direction and I shall force you to embrace it and show it slides from your last vacation!
Johnhughthom: I LIKE SHOUTING, LET'S FIGHT!
White_Eyes:D unsheathed his katana and raised it above his head, posing in traditional kenjutsu style. Johnhughthom wielded his bo and curled his finger, inviting White_Eyes:D to advance. White_Eyes:D smirked because he knew his katana would slice completely through any simple wooden bo staff with ease. He began to circle his prey and made threatening motions with his weapon, relishing the thought of cleaving his opponent in two. Johnhughthom circled in the opposite direction, mindful of his surroundings. Suddenly, White_Eyes:D advanced, bringing the katana down upon his opponent's staff, intending to slice the bo in two, along with john's head. The incredibly sharp sword connected with the staff with a loud metallic clank. The bo staff was made of some kind of reinforced polyduranium alloy. As the weapons clashed, johnhughthom delivered a swift kick to the lower midsection of his opponent, and then twisted the bo staff and smashed it against his head, knocking him to the deck. John twirled the bo with ease and went on the offensive, attempting to batter White_Eyes:D as he lay on his back. All White_Eyes:D could do was block the blows with his katana until john got too close. As John brought the weapon down again, White_Eyes:D moved his head to the side and slashed at his chest, leaving a large bleeding cut across it. John seemed unaffected by the pain, but quickly reacted by twisting the bo and knocking White_Eyes:D in the temple, causing him to see stars. White_Eyes:D swung his blade in retaliation, but John moved back, allowing White_Eyes:D to leap to his feet, raising the katana above his head again.
Johnhughthom moved so quickly that White_Eyes:D did not even see it coming. As a master of the chopsticks may catch a fly mid-flight, so could Johnhughthom deliver a rapid blow to the face of his opponent. With the style of a master of fencing, John took the bo in one hand and thrust it directly into White_Eyes:D' nose like a pool cue, shattering it instantly from a distance of six feet away. It was not a move that White_Eyes:D had seen before and it caught him off-guard. He cursed at his opponent and called it a cheap shot, but then just as quickly he moved in to deliver a retaliatory strike, thrusting forward very quickly to deliver a potentially fatal strike to the chest. John's reflexes allowed him to partially deflect it, but the blade still pierced John straight through the shoulder, the blade easily passing through bone and flesh, exiting the other side. In response, John used his free hand to deliver a solid punch to White_Eyes' face, mashing him directly in his already broken nose. At the same time, he moved backward to pull himself off of White_Eyes' blade. John was able to ignore the pain, and fortunately it seemed he hadn't suffered nerve damage, so he still had partial mobility in that side.
Both men continued with grim determination. Blood was pouring down White_Eyes' face, and his lips were curled back, baring his blood-soaked teeth. John had a sober expression on his face, and he was bleeding profusely as well, and favoring one side over the other. They circled each other once more... and White_Eyes:D decided that he had the advantage and advanced again. This time, Johnhughthom kicked a release lever and the maintenance hatch he was standing on dropped open, allowing him to fall to the deck below, the katana missing his head by an inch. White_Eyes:D stood at the edge and peered down into the unlit chamber below. "I'm not falling for that..." he muttered to himself, and grabbed a nearby plasma torch.
White_Eyes:D turned on the torch and held it in his free hand, lighting the chamber below him. He dropped down and landed in a crouching position, keeping the katana at the ready to defend himself. The maintenance level was filled with exposed power conduits, fuel lines, heating and cooling systems, and the corridor led directly to the engine room. White_Eyes:D cautiously advanced, checking behind every storage canister and structural support beam. "Come out, come out, wherever you are..." he said.
There was a loud noise behind him, so White_Eyes:D turned and pointed the plasma torch in that direction. It seemed as though some kind of metal toolbox had been tossed deliberately as a distraction, so he turned back around just in time to see Johnhughthom moving from behind a structural support, ready to strike. White_Eyes:D parried the blow, but would need both of his hands for leverage, so he dropped the still-active plasma torch on the deck plating. Johnhughthom advanced, delivering dangerous strikes near the head and torso, each being deflected by White_Eyes:D masterfully. While John advanced, White_Eyes:D moved carefully backwards, positioning himself into a narrowing part of the corridor, full of cargo containers. The tight quarters limited the range of movement of the bo staff, and White_Eyes:D gained the upper hand and began to deliver more aggressive strikes, some dangerously close to the neck. White_Eyes:D jumped backwards, out of range of the staff, and then raised the katana above his head and brought it down in a killing motion. John barely was able to bring the bo between himself and the blade, and it again produced a loud metallic clash. Sensing weakness, White_Eyes:D quickly struck again and again, each time hitting the bo in fiercer and fiercer strikes, which John could not fully deflect due to his weakened shoulder. Bracing himself for yet another blow, John was knocked backwards when the blade connected. This time, the katana shattered the polyduranium staff into two pieces, and passed close enough to John's face to split his cheek, lips, and chin, causing his face to gush blood.
White_Eyes:D thrust the sword forward, but the blow was deflected with one segment of the bo stick and John used the other half to smash White_Eyes:D in the temple, causing him to stagger forward. John shifted his weight and delivered a knee to the jaw, making White_Eyes:D drop his katana. John moved in, swinging the two halves of his bo with each hand, unleashing a hellish combination of strikes to the temple, collarbone, and face, ending in a side kick squarely between his White_Eyes, knocking him backwards to the deck. He unfortunately landed right next to the still-lit plasma torch, which blew his head apart instantly and began incinerating him from the neck down. Johnhughthom picked up the torch and shut it off, and then grabbed the katana and climed up the long ladder to the main deck.
