Thank you. It was fun running as the squad leader. I still would've made several mistakes if it weren't for your and Blackadder's input, so it was a good team run. Like Wiz I tormented ATPG with quite a bit of questions during the game.

Btw, just for fun ATPG what would've been my and Wiz stats if we would've been turned into plague tyrants?

Not entirely impossible scenarios, since Wiz best shot at killing us would've probably put him in our position for the subway battle. That or one hell of an ambush at turn 14 or 15. Possible if you knew the coordinates for the chopper and that we had 3 speed, since then there was only one route that was shortest. Had our movement planned and kept the same from turn 10 due to this.

Yes, and I was unfortunately so swamped with hundreds of PMs in my inbox that I often couldn't respond quickly to each of them. Sometimes I felt like one man in a sea of telephones, all ringing.... ringing.... ringing......

Oh jeez, uh....

the general rule is whatever your maximum stat was, gets bumped up to 13, and then your other stats increase by one until you get to 49 total points. For you it wouldn't have been so impressive. If you had two stats that were the highest, or three, then whichever one would get bumped up would depend on if any other person got transformed and had 13 points in that category. You would become a different kind of Tyrant, unless there was no way to avoid it.

I forget if I intended Wishazu to be able to turn or not, but I believe he was able to. If so, his stats would already have been at 49, and I probably would have made him have 9 in all categories, for 63 total points, but no super stat.

If Diana's team survived that big battle and kept on hunting, eventually she would have had half a dozen tyrants, and her team would have been able to wipe out the entire zombie horde and most of the town as well. They were well on their way to a total victory, only to be cut short right at the start of their meteoric rise to power.

What would have happened if that REALLY ugly tyrant got away?

managed to get a little time to check out the ending, seriously awesome game pizza, i give you utmost respect for hosting this. If not for uni work and exams, i would have wished to have continued till the end.

I'll be sure to join the next one you host! (as long as its after next week

)

**Diana Abnoba** · 06-01-2010, 17:42

Don't worry taka, I think it will be at least 6 months from now, that would be my guess.

Know it wasn't me. Compared to everyone else, I only had an exposed heart, third arm, and stood 9 feet tall.

**Diana Abnoba** · 06-01-2010, 19:01

It couldn't have been me, I was too beautiful. Just because I had my egg sack on my back with my groom's eyes in it doesn't mean I was ugly. I was a tall (about 9-10 feet), model looking "women", with no hair on my head, and long claws...this in my world, is beautiful.

The one that died last, kinda looked like a zombie formed from a jelly bean.

I see what you mean, I would be almost unkillable but very weak in melee. It would be something like this.

Strength: 3
Combat: 13
Vitality: 9 (+1 due to yellow herb)
Speed: 5
Stealth: 2
Awareness: 9
Luck: 9

Wizhasu's average non-reduced damage of 13.85/round would be reduced to 1.02/round (high luck and only 20% chance of hitting does that).
But he would still kill me on average since I'm doing such low damage (it should be 1 damage/attack correct?). +1 in strength and I would easily win.

**Askthepizzaguy** · 06-02-2010, 18:59

Dang, Ironside. Do you want to host the next game? You seem to be good with numbers....

**Wishazu** · 06-08-2010, 07:52

I don't think I have the pm anymore ATPG but I do remember you telling me that as I was the hero I would never turn, If I died then I was simply dead. Just like the original games I suppose.

Ah that makes sense.

It's been so long, and I had so many files for this game... I had to make tweaks to the game at the last minute and didn't prepare for every eventuality. It's amazing I was able to accomplish much of anything correctly. Boy did I make tons of mistakes that needed to be corrected over the course of the game though. People moved to the wrong places, people moved too far, some people didn't get their cards updated correctly... what a mess.

I highly recommend this sort of game hosting duty for the criminally insane, or the obsessively fanatical. Those are the only people with the proper brain chemistry to handle this.
