Resident Evil: Discussion Thread [Concluded]

[Wishazu]

Who are we still waiting for?

[FactionHeir]

Would be nice if there were more penalties to encourage people

Like...only stand and fight if you miss the extended deadline...

[Askthepizzaguy]

I think you should put up a warning sign after 48 hours, as it seems to be standard for about third to be too late at the deadline.

What is interesting is who is late this time. Many of these have been getting their orders in on time on a regular basis.

btw do we ever find out the identities for the WOEG:ed ones? Might not matter if they're regular townies, but there's all those crazy people+ non-townie factions running around.

Because they are removed from the game entirely, and no faction gets credit for their deaths, it's as if they weren't really part of the game. It's unimportant.

I will let you know after the game who/what they were. No sense depressing you until then.

Oh, I'm considering it, but...

if it is people who aren't really actually late that often, especially first time offenders, then that's way too harsh. I want people to enjoy the game regardless of RL concerns with the game (oops was busy this week...) kinda stuff. Those who are habitually late I'm just going to stop reminding to get their orders in. When I have 90% player activity, I start moving on calculating the results that round. Then it's a race against time. If they fail to meet activity three times in a row they are gone.

Ephrum is gone this phase. Reenk is next phase. There are others I am eyeing. Gigante is about to get his bloodthirst on.

[atheotes]

oops... did not realize 80+ hours have passed. Sorry about that. Orders sent.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I am still missing lot of Orders, So I decided that everyone now has exactly 13 hours. After that time I will begin randomly causing peoples characters to explode in showers of gore.

Something's fishy here....

Isn't ATPG's large URL avatar supposed to be a burn victim, not a gold knight?


and isn't his name "ATPG" not "Cultured Drizzt Fan?"

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hey! Askthepizzaguy took my signature line!



Edit: See post below this one. I agree with whoever that is.

Have no idea what you are talking about split. Just get your orders in

[Splitpersonality]

If you'd just check your PM box ATPG you'd see my orders were in when I said "Orders in"

Get to work on a million and a half character cards now, and a writeup, slave.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Still missing orders from:

Csargo
Paulus Tertius
Scottishranger
Slashandburn
Sprig
Thermal Mercury

Reenk is WOG'ed next phase and Ephrum is WOG'ed.

Time is almost up. I am already about to do battle rolls.

Present status of the game: (PHASE SEVEN- Writeup Phase)

• I have accepted all your (lengthy) orders and they are now filed.
• I have moved all players who sent me orders.
• I have ordered El Gigante to stand firm and fight to the death.
• I have moved the NPC zombies as per the zombie horde's wishes.
• I have randomized item drops for all those who searched or landed on items.
• I have randomized all events.

What I have left to do:

• Battles. There should be two major ones and a couple minor ones.
• Character cards. So far, I am on schedule.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Update: Sorry, I have overloaded myself and I needed to take a 24-hour breather. I will get back to work on this tomorrow.

[Major Robert Dump]

You overloaded yourself from day one, bro, but I admire the persistence. I suppose this game will break many records and go down in guild history...glad I could be a part of it.

[Wishazu]

Are you still accepting orders ATPG? Or is it now too late for the handful of players you mentioned above?

[Askthepizzaguy]

They could move, but at this point they can't participate in battles because I'm already rolling those. And no stealth mode either.

I really shouldn't be accepting them but I'd rather have something

[FactionHeir]

What happens if a late arrival moves and crosses the path of a berserker?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Okay! All battles have been rolled. I'll also be working on character cards for most of today. So expect tons of progress, as the battles are easy to describe and there weren't many of them, and those of you not involved with battles will have relatively easy character cards.

This round was a nice change of pace. But there will be much death.... much death.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Some of you have been given a heads up as to what is about to happen.

DO NOT COMMENT about the events of this round until the public writeup is done. That falls under the category of revealing information and is against the rules.

[taka]

oh noes... sounds like bad news...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Update:

I am now up to Khazaar's character card. (22 cards completed) I have skipped a couple that pertain to the El Gigante battle just so I can continue pumping them out at a faster rate; I'll deal with those cards afterward.

I do as many easy ones as I can before I take a break.

That does not fill me with confidence

[Askthepizzaguy]

Okay I am up to White_Eyes:D character card now. I still have folks from the Gigante battle's card to do, but I can bang those out pretty quick once I get started on them. It's mostly cut and paste at that point.

I estimate I will be done by midnight tomorrow night.

[Double A]

Pizza you need some kind of medal for this

[Askthepizzaguy]

The encouragement is nice, but hold your applause until the game is actually finished.

If I collapse and poop out before it is done, or if people lose interest in the game and stop sending in orders, then it won't be worth all this praise.

[Double A]

Pizza, this game has ninjas, zombies, and a walking skyscraper.

If anyone loses interest in this game, there is seriously something wrong with their life.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well that's what I think but not everyone likes what I like.

[Rob_the_Celt]

I said nothing...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Self-deleted.

[Rob_the_Celt]

Yes sire, forgive me sire!
