[Misc] Forum Battle Royale - Round 25 (1/10) - Jane is the victor!

No I mean I can teleport to le ocean if I need to.

I suppose thatā€™s true
Hey Waz you also hate liars? This still qualifies

I see. Nice.

Actually scratch the question of me asking Waz if they hate liars
Almost every definition of backstabbing I can find basically says ā€œbetraying someoneā€™s trustā€ and my trust was very much betrayed

If she hates lying, sheā€™s on the wrong site and definitely playing the wrong game.

You still need to be on the same side to technically backstab someone. This is like if you thought a mafia member was townā€¦ Hmmm, I think I see your pointā€¦

You trusted Leafia and thatā€™s clear from the first post afterwards and with their own post.

That classifies as backstabbing or more accurately a breach of trust.

A breach of trust Iā€™d agree with. No different than a wolf betraying a villagerā€™s trust if you put it like that.

This is manipulation. That clarifies enough as a breach of someoneā€™s trust.

Sure, manipulation is a key element of this game.

Doesnā€™t mean I canā€™t dislike it now, does it? You can win games with backstabbing others.

Yes, I planned to allow skipping / locking of actions eventually after we get more of a flow going. Last round everyone submitted actions, so that was great. Some actions came in towards the end, so skipping wouldnā€™t have mattered much.

Next round Iā€™ll announce the ability to skip / lock when posting the map. This round you can still put in your PM if you want to skip / lock just so people get use to it. This will also help me anyway with knowing that those actions are final so I can prepare for processing.

I always put in my actions just before I sleep so most of them are drunken

like last turn all I did was run lol

Iā€™m guessing you mean you can win games without backstabbing others there.

SPEEDRUNNNN!!!

Iā€™ve added this clarification on weapon range to the OP and the website. Thank you @Zone_Q11 for your help on adjusting this to make Sniper Rifles more reasonable. :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve already locked my actions for today.

ā€¦NGL, Sniper Rifle is still the scariest weapon in this game. Especially late game, when itā€™s likely to have 8 HP or less, it can basically kill you before you can reach Range 0.

ā€“actually, since this is Turn-Based, it can simply take 3 shots to kill any poor fella within a Range 2 radius.

Still thinking about mine, have a game plan but not certain if itā€™s the best thing rn

Yes, true. Which is actually very accurate with how things play out in the real games. A player with a Sniper Rifle often dominates with headshots that insta-kill. Here thereā€™s at least a chance to survive.

The Sniper Rifle only has 16 uses. There will be misses. Players can be protected with Body Armor. And they can heal up with Med Kits if they werenā€™t killed off right away. So a player with a Sniper Rifle might kill 3 or 4 players at most before running out of uses. I mean, thatā€™s certainly great, but not a definite win. :slight_smile: Depends on how they choose to use the Sniper Rifle.

One feature from the games that I could do mid to late stage is a crate drop if only one player finds a Sniper Rifle and is dominating too much. The crate would contain a Sniper Rifle and it would be randomly dropped somewhere. The location would show up on the map so all players know where to find it. So Iā€™ll reserve the right to do this for balance if necessary. :slight_smile:

Actually it would probably be 2 or 3 crates in different locations so that the player with the Sniper Rifle canā€™t camp the single crate. :slight_smile:
