Back on topic now: Who is more awesome, Sub-Zero or Reptile

Obviousssssly reptile. No Brainer.


Does anyone here not find near extinct reptilian races awesome?

[Gekkamir]

To be completely honest, in the MK games Sub-Zero was one of my two favorite characters, Scorpion being the other.

[Centurion1]

reptile of course. i think everyone will be surprised.

oh and cage is a total mark.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Reptiles are generally cold-blooded creatures. They would die without heat. Therefore, Sub-Zero wins.

[Gekkamir]

Acid melts faces. You cant live without a face, therefore Reptile wins.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Can't live without a face?

Meet Andres.

[Thermal]

To be completely honest, in the MK games Sub-Zero was one of my two favorite characters, Scorpion being the other.

And were both on the same team, you should have demanded a slot with us!

[Gekkamir]

Well, no one on your team left :P

The thing thats funny about Sub-Zero and Scorpion being on the same team is that they are enemies in the actual MK games.

[Sprig]

Well, no one on your team left :P

The thing thats funny about Sub-Zero and Scorpion being on the same team is that they are enemies in the actual MK games.

Yeah I kinda had to address that fact in the player backgrounds. But in actual fact Sub Zero died in MK. The Sub Zero in MK II is the Sub Zero's younger Brother. Scorpion actually realizes that he is not the same ruthless killer that killed him and makes a vow to protect Sub Zero.

Some of the other teams are weird too. like Jax being with baraka and Reptile :S and Liu Kang and Shang Tsung in the same team :D

If i got to organise all the teams it would have been something like

Raiden, Liu Kang & Kung Lao.
Shang Tsung, Reptile, & Scorpion
Baraka, Mileena & Kitana
Jax, Johnny Cage & Sub Zero

[Gekkamir]

Well Sprig, everyone in MK has died at least once, but that doesn't mean their dead. Like Johnny Cage.

[Choxorn]

Okay, yes, I screwed up on the math, I suck, I make mistakes. Now stop insulting me and get on with the game!

[Sprig]

Well Sprig, everyone in MK has died at least once, but that doesn't mean their dead. Like Johnny Cage.

True. But unfortunately there will be no coming back for those defeated in this tournament.

(Unless there is demand for a sequel)

Mortal Kombat

Morning 1

The sun rose over the hill streaming too where a crowd had assembled. The crowd let out a yell for a battle was soon to begin. They watched as two ninjas strolled out from isolation one was dressed in green and the other in blue. The two fighters made their way to the arena which was chosen by reptile, it was an acid pit called the deadpool. The fighters stuck there poses waiting for the signal to start. Shao Kahn Stood up and declared “Fight”

Sub Zero slowly walked calmly towards his opponent but Reptile quickly pulled out a smoke bomb

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

SubZero was no slouch through and quickly sent out a beam or ice which caught Reptile in a block of ice.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

With Reptile trapped in the ice, Sub Zero made his way over and couched down and let rip a might uppercut.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Reptile landed with a thud but quickly leapt to his feet ninja style. He then saw Zubzero closeing down on him but at the last second he let out force ball.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The force ball exploded sending Sub Zero up into the air and on his way down Reptile followed up his force ball with a mighty uppercut of his own which sent Subzero sky high.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Sub Zero was visably wounded but he was not going to give in so easily. Reptile jumped towards him but he quickly froze the ground. Upon landing Reptile quickly lost his footing which Sub Zero took advantage of by a swift round house kick.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

It was Reptiles turn to take heavy damage; he coughed up some blood as he stood up. However there was enough range to try a smoke bomb again and with a puff of smoke vanished. Sub Zero sent an ice ball to where Reptile was to no avail. He was caught in the face by a swift punch which dazed him. The next second he found himself launched into the air and Shao Kahn called out “Finish Him”

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

However there was no need as Sub Zero’s Body fell into the acid. Reptile appeared visible again just as Sub Zero’s melted corpse appeared bobbing up in down in the acid.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Reptile Wins !!! And receives his share of the battle spoils, 150 mana. Sub Zero’s teammates receives 75 Mana each.

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

With the battle over, the creature that Shao Kahn had summoned during the night. “The gods would like to announce those selected for the evening fight.” Shao Kahn grabbed the creature and yelled “Tell me” The creature croaked something inaudible. Shao Kahn released the creature and it disappeared. Shao Kahn cleared his throat and addressed those that watched the battle. “It seems the Mark have selected Scorpion and Raiden for the evening fight. Scorpion will have the Arena choice.” Shao Kahn continued, “And so we will have to choose the next contestants for tomorrow’s battle.”

[Beskar]

Woot, thanks for the Mana, Reptile, in your victory.

I would like to bet 100 mana on Scorpion.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well, I bet 75 on Raiden...


If I'm going to lose mana, and then lose an ally, I might as well bet most of what I have left.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Thatssss Right all of you. I can take whatever you are going to dissssssh out.


I want to thank my teammate Jax for allowing me to have 100 mana for the fight. I would not have been victorioussss without one of my ssssspecials . Because of you know, CAGE!


Johhnny Cage VS. Reptile

[CCRunner]

I still do not trust the reptile and I know some of you don't trust me.

Cage vs. Reptile

[Captain Blackadder]

Well this is a first my first round one lynch sort of.

[Beskar]

Kung Lao versus Reptile

That fight needs to be resolved.

[Yaropolk]

Everyone please read this:

I just went through Beskar's small .org mafia game. The setup was very similar - 4 teams of 4, each team has a hidden scum in it. The goal of each team is eliminate the scum + have more members than the other teams. There were no night phases, only day lynches just like here. The result was a total devastating victory for the mafia because they were able to have access to all information and also coordinate the lynches in their teams.

The town screwed up by keeping quiet in both the quicktopics (to avoid giving info to scum) and in the main thread (to avoid helping other teams). Every single townie had a power role, but nobody coordinated their efforts. You can see how this is very similar to this mafia game setup.

The only chance town has to find the mark in this game is to pool their mana to purchase tokens of Divination. The odds of finding mark are quite high. If there is a mark on each team then it would take at most 2 investigations to clear a team and find the scum. I'm currently the only confirmed innocent (Shao Khan). I'm more than willing to organize the effort, but we'll need support from everyone. Sprig upped the mana bonus everyone got every morning, so here is a good use for it.

The token costs 1500 mana, and there are 13 of us remaining. I would ask everyone to please send me 116 mana. This will alow the purchase of one token. I pledge to use it for an investigation with completely transparent results. The target of the investigation will be chosen by voting just like the battles, however it makes most sense to target subsequent investigations at the same team. This way the mark can't delay finding the targets, and we're pretty much guaranteed a mark every second investigation.

The second benefit is that mark will undoubtedly pool their mana for battles. They have a small 4 person pool, so draining 100 mana from each of them will make a big difference on that front. Mana that could have gone to kill townies will instead be used to find mark. For those of you concerned that it will prevent you from buying a power, please consider that it will delay everyone's progress equally. You may be very close to buying that 400 mana first upgrade, but if you're not fighting this round, then it doesn't matter, and the 800 one isn't coming anytime soon anyway.

If this effort fails to collect the requisite 1500 mana, I will refund all mana back to its senders. I believe mark will not be able to take me down anytime soon. I have high stats and a few other tricks up my sleeve.

I will keep a public tally of who sent me mana once I receive PM from sprig so you can see who is supporting the effort and who is not:

The Suction Mages
Mileena (johnhughthom) [TL]- (0)
Scorpion (Thermal Mercury) - (0)

The DROW BRIGADE!
Jax (Centurion) [TL] - (0)
Reptile (Cultured Drizzt fan) - (0)
Baraka (Gekkamir) - (0)

Fatality!
Liu Kang (Beskar) [TL] - (0)
Johnny Cage (CCRunner) - (0)
Shang Tsung (Khazaar) - (0)

Raiden's Raiders
Raiden (Choxorn) [TL] - (0)
Kung Lao (Askthepizzaguy) - (0)
Kitana - (spL1tp3r50naL1ty) - (0)

Skull N' Arms
Kintaro (Seon) - (0)
Shao Kahn (Yaropolk) [TL] - (116)

As the token item is of one time use, we'll have to pool again in future rounds.

EDIT: Please post a vote for who to investigate at the same time as you send mana

[Beskar]

I will support the effort, just say how I send you the Mana or Sprig, take this as an order to do so.

Pledge to Support Effort

[Yaropolk]

Send a PM to sprig.

[Thermal]

I'm not sending you any mana yet, I need it for the upcoming battle.

[johnhughthom]

I'm not sending you any mana yet, I need it for the upcoming battle.

And I have gifted him some of mine as we are down to two, so I can't afford to send you 116 mana as that's more than half my total.

Bet 50 mana on Scorpion

Cage vs Reptile. Can't beat a good grudge match

[Gekkamir]

Bet 50 on Scorpion

It's really too bad about choxorn being picked, because I had been hoping to fight him.

"You've just come out of a battle Reptile. Don't push your luck. That Cage is a fool, yes, but he is by no means a weakling."

Oh now I remember. Didn't the old Sub-Zero become Noob Saibot?

hhhmmmmm.... I will ssssend you the mana if I do not end up in a match thisssss round, but if I am going to have to fight again, I need all the mana I can get

[Gekkamir]

To be honest, there are other things I want to do with my mana.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Kung Lao versus Reptile

That fight needs to be resolved.

whaaa? Why would I want to fight Kung Lao?
