Snakes & Foxes: Mortal Kombat [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yaro, though I do disagree with your plan in some ways, mainly that being putting our eggs in one basket, I had another priority this round, getting my team leader through the round.

Yes, I donated 375 of my 400 mana, I planned on betting the rest on him but forgot to bet.

In the future, so long as my teammates are not up to battle, I'd be glad to aid you in finding mark...

I thought it was 325.

If you only have 25 left over, you wouldn't be able to bet anyway

[Thermal]

It is completely possible for a Mark to tell the truth about stuff.

Go ahead.

Sorry about the delay, I was giving my blackjack orders out.

Basically each mark is controlled by a different God and represents thes God is such a way that a mark is basically thee God, and the MK character is just its body that it can use to interrupt the game. It wins when it outnumbers the other characters or which sprig doesn't mention, if Shan Khan is killed. But I gather that's difficult anyway .

And, given that he is also a mark, its even more unlikely. Why would I tell you this? Because In effect, losing a mark means a mark victory. And why would I tell you how to win? WIFOM my friend.

This sounds like complete garbage, but later on in the game it will all fit into place, just don't leave it to late if you know whats good for you.

OK so you don't believe me? Good.

[Choxorn]

I'd love to hear from Choxorn (Raiden) - is it true that both of your teammates sent you mana?

I don't know if I can get everyone on board with this, but I think it would help the town tremendously if both combatants reveal publically who sent them mana right before their fight starts. If they die, we can see who has been helping them.

Yes, it's true. Split sent me 325, ATPG sent me 175. It was enough to get the things I needed to defeat Scorpion.

Anyway, it was CCRunner who said there were two teams based on the fact that that's how it worked on CFC. If so, I guess 2 teams of 2 seems most likely. However, I'm not sure if there's one on every team. There could be two on one team, or zero on another.

And no, Thermal, I don't believe you, at least not fully.

[Thermal]

And no, Thermal, I don't believe you, at least not fully.

Why would you believe me, theres bound to be lies in there somewhere.

[CCRunner]

or which sprig doesn't mention, if Shan Khan is killed.

This part in particular I don't believe. Unless Shao Khan has some immunity to being sent into the arena by the Mark, he'd be dead in just a few battles. He may be stronger than any one of us alone, but I doubt even he could take out three people in a row.

GM Comment: No bets on the upcoming fight?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I bet 100 on Jax.

USA! USA! USA!

Yes but marks can't vote themselves to fight, unless, like in my case, they were to forget to send in their orders.

Midnight 1

Shao Kahn wondered what to do about the Mark situation, he was very glad that one had died but there remained some more. The worse news was that the mark was working under an earth god. How could the Outworld gods let that happen? Kahn watched as Jax and Johnny Cage were greeted by the officials who were ready to take them into isolation. Lead by an official Jax started to make his way to isolation when Johnny Cage called out from behind him “Don’t bother preparing for the fight, I will wipe the floor with you.” Jax turned around to retort but when he did Johnny cage wasn’t were he expected him to be. He looked down just in time to see Cage punch him in the happy sacks. Jax keeled over instantly and the officials rushed into to stop anything from escalating too soon.

Khan chuckled to himself but then his thoughts went back to the outworld gods. One of them must be responsible it would be just a matter of finding out which one.

Morning 2

Another morning another fight. This time the arena selected was called ‘The Pit’. Chanting started to come out of the crowd. “Jax, Jax, Jax”they cried. Most people were not overly enthused by the seris of low blows performed by Johnny Cage. Both Fighters assemble and were ready to begin. Shao Kahn Stood up and declared “Fight” Johnny Cage instantly flew through the air and kicked out with his left leg catching Jax in the chest.

Jax leapt to his feet but Cage ducked split style and went for the crown jewels once again. The crowd grimaced and subconsciously put their hands over their manhood. With Jax semi paralysed, Cage hit him with a powerful Uppercut.

Cage tried to follow up the Uppercut but Jax slammed the ground with such force that Johnny almost lost his balance.

With the battle over, Shao Kahn cleared his throat and addressed those that watched the battle. “It seems the Mark have selected Myself and Shang Tsung for the evening fight. And I will have the Arena choice.” Shao Kahn continued, “And we will have to choose the next contestants for tomorrow’s battle.”

Contestants may place bets on the upcoming fight between Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung.

[Choxorn]

The mark picked Shao Khan? Thermal, you are a lying bastard.

[Gekkamir]

I challenge Raiden to MORTAL KOMBAT! DUNA DANA DUNA DUNA DA DA DUNA DANA DUNA DUNA DA DA DUNA DANA DA DA DA DA DA!

[Choxorn]

Give me a break, I already fought just recently. You, Baraka, can fight if you want, but fight someone who hasn't fought yet. How about Kintaro? You're both big, strong and the only two aren't human-looking, it would be a fun fight to watch.

[Khazaar]

Who stands to gain the most from a fight Shao Kahn vs.Shang Tsung I ask you. Time to find out if every team has a mark.
Have Kintaro fight Liu Kang

[Askthepizzaguy]

Team Leader Raiden; I think you should be ok to send some mana back to me as repayment, ya?

Kintaro versus Liu Kang

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Told you Cent. Nothing to it


Stinks I was not here to bet on you..... Been gone for 2 days.


anyway, Baraka Vs. Raiden

[Centurion1]

I'm pretty sure my team kicks some serious butt

also I'm snowboarding with friends until Monday night so I'm not gonna be super active


Hooah cage how's it feel you cheap !!!!!!!

[Yaropolk]

Since Liu Kang was the only one to support mana pooling, i tend to think he's not a mark. How about Kintaro vs Reptile for surviving R1?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

for surviving R1?

R what now???

[Yaropolk]

(Despite having been sabotaged by Kage)

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

(Despite having been sabotaged by Kage)

I could tell you how I won, but that would put me at a disssssadvantage in any other fight I eventually have. In the end it all hinged on my teammate Jax letting me take 100 mana. after that it wassssss all sssssskill.

[Seon]

Liukang, seems like people want both our blood

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHA

[Gekkamir]

Hmm... perhaps I will fight you another day Raiden. But for now it seems that Kintaro is desntined to fight Liu Kang.

[johnhughthom]

Kintaro vs Liu Kang sounds good to me.

[Beskar]

Who stands to gain the most from a fight Shao Kahn vs.Shang Tsung I ask you. Time to find out if every team has a mark.
Have Kintaro fight Liu Kang

I am your team-leader, why do you want to kill me? Unless you are the mark.

Anyway, as Yaropolk mentions, I am the only non-confirmed mark other than him.
