Snakes & Foxes: Mortal Kombat [Concluded]

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.

[Gekkamir]

A word on this-- there are actually two teams of marks in opposistion to each other. One team chooses one contestant and the other one gets to choose the second. So no, people picked by the mark are not neccessarily innocent.

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?

[Choxorn]

Assuming it works the same as the last game, they're in opposition and one team will control both combatants if the other dies.

[Yaropolk]

During the night, the Mark, a hidden faction among the contestants, decide who should do battle the upcoming evening. The goal for the Mark is to outnumber the non-Mark.

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.

Shao Kahn wants to see Johny Cage (CCRunner) take on Sub-Zero CCRunner has too much inside info on number of teams for round one townie.

[Gekkamir]

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.

[Beskar]

Vote: Kintaro

[Sprig]

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

[Beskar]

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.

[Gekkamir]

You know what, I think I'll vote for Kintaro vs. Sub Zero instead.

Mortal Kombat

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)

=================================================

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.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I will remember this Cage, Better hope I don't live through this. You and CB are both Mark in my eyes!

[Yaropolk]

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.

[CCRunner]

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.

[Gekkamir]

Ah, so that's what your special abillity is.

[Sprig]

GM Comment: No brave souls willing to venture a bet of mana on who will win?

[Thermal]

Sub Zero can handle himself, and if he fails, it will be my revenge, team mate or not.

[Yaropolk]

I'll bet 100 on SubZero

[Yaropolk]

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?

[Winston Hughes]

You won't.

From the OP:

Mana will be separated into visible mana and actual mana.

The visible mana is the total amount of mana the character has received either through the morning updates, battle spoils or betting. The visable mana for all contestants will be listed in the first post.

The actual mana will be hoe much is left after expenditure on items, gifting to other playes etc. This will be hidden and reported via PM when it changes (apart from when it changes from the income every morning).

[Sprig]

GM Comment: Excellent, have our first bet. I should have added can all bets of mana be in RoyalBlue and bold e.g. I bet 100 Mana on Sub-Zero

[Askthepizzaguy]

Is there a betting minimum?

I'd like to bet 50 on Sub-zero. I don't have much mana, so... don't want to risk too much.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

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. 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.

[johnhughthom]

I'll bet 100 Mana on my teammate SubZero.

[Beskar]

I bet 10 mana on Reptile. Make me proud some profit, CDF!

[johnhughthom]

I bet 10 mana on Reptile. Make me proud some profit, CDF!

Wussy bet.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I bet 10 mana on Reptile. Make me proud some profit, CDF!

minimum bet is 50 Beskar

[Beskar]

is it? ok, make it the minimum then.

Minimum Bet on Reptile

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.

[Centurion1]

bet 100 on 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.

[Seon]

[Khazaar]
