*** Last Unit Standing - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Pg 25 ***

[netherspirit]

The Last Unit Standing aka The Hurt/Heal Game

THE OBJECT: To be the last unit standing.

THE RULES:
Each player in the game will be represented by a figure from Heroscape. The figure you are assigned should be kept secret from everyone else. Don't share your identity to anyone, there is no way to enforce this so we will operate on the Honor System. Players are not allowed to PM each other to get voting blocks established or for any other reason regarding the game. Again there is no way to enforce this so everyone will be on the Honor System.

Each figure will start out at 20 life.

A figure's life can go above 20 through heals and correct identity guesses.

When a figure's life reaches 0 or less they are dead. Dead figures can not be hurt or healed anymore.

The last unit alive wins.

Posting:
Each day, each player can make one post that includes a unit to hurt and a unit to heal. You must do both, hurt and heal. Each Hurt will subtract 2 points from the figure's life. Each heal will add 1 point to the figure's life. The format of the post should be like this:

Hurt Taelord
Heal Charos

*You can not hurt and heal the same unit in the same post.

Each day will start at 12:00am EST.

SPECIAL RULES:
Guessing the identity of Figures:
At anytime a player may send me a PM to try and guess the identity of any other player(s). If you guess wrong, your figure will lose 5 life. If you guess correctly that figure will lose 5 life and you will gain 3 life. You can do this as many times as you want each and everyday. Each figure can only be guessed correctly once. Once a figure has been guessed correctly by someone, it can not be guessed again by anyone else. On the list of figures, it will then get an * next to its name to let everyone its already been guessed.

Special Effects:
Each day there may be a special effect in play. Each day I will roll a D6 to determine the effect in play for the next day.
1-2: Normal day
3: No hurt day
4: Double hurt day (4 points of damage)
5: No heal day
6: Double heal day (2 points healed)
These effects will not affect any PM guesses that are made on that day, for example on a double hurt day a correct guess will still only do 5 damage.

RULES ADDENDUMS
The list of all the characters in the game will be posted on Monday at 12:00am (hopefully I can stay up that late).

When a character is destroyed, it WILL NOT be revealed which member had control of them.

People who have had their characters killed CAN STILL POST (if they choose) Hurts and Heals. However, they will not count towards a figure's life total.

Dead figures can not come back into the game, by any means, after being killed.

Dead figures can still have their identities guessed. If you are right you will get the 3 life, however if you are wrong your figure will still lose 5 life.

JOINING THE GAME AND START DATE:
The game will start on Feburary 1st, you have until 11:59 PM on the 31st to PM me or post here that you want to play. I will respond before the game starts with the figure that will represent you for the course of the game. In the event that more people join than there are figures, I will figure something out.

PRIZES:
First, Second and Third place will all receive a title.

ADVERTISING:
Feel free to help me get lots of people involved by adding this to your signature.

I want to play, but please don't give me Taelord as my figure. :wink:

[Su-Bak-Na]

I want to play.

[K/H_Addict]

I'm in.



Now to go read your post

[Fze-Deh the Dzu-Teh]

I'll play.

[Ketch]

Question,

If you guess right, do you KNOW that you've been healed 3 or hurt 5?
Do we know our current health?

Reason I ask, is if you guess someone correctly, why WOULDN'T you keep guessing.. or is that the point.. once you get it correct, you just keep guessing until they are dead?

[minimoose38]

I'm in.
When does it start?

Once a figure is guessed they can not be guessed again. I will add that to the rules.

You will know your life because there will be a list at the beginning of each day like this:

Charos 20
Taelord 20
etc

Once someone is guessed there will be an asterisk next to the name like this:

Charos 15*

There will be periodic updates (at least once a day) of all the figures' lives.

Does that answer it?

[netherspirit]

I'm in.
When does it start?

Read the first post. Its in bold red text.

[netherspirit]

Updated the rules for Guessing. Each figure can only be guessed correctly once.

[LordRaidor]

So nether, ...can you hurt and heal the same fugure? For example:Hurt Kiova
Heal Kiova
If so, which is applied first? If Kiova was at 2 life, would the 'hurt' land first, killing her before she could be 'healed', or would the 'heal' land first, leaving her at 1 life after the subsequent 'hurt'?

...Just wondrin'...

^_^

I have updated the Entrant List in the first post with all the PM's and posts from people that want to play. If I missed you let me know.

You no longer have to PM me to join, a post here will be sufficient. Just make sure the post in some way clues me into the fact that you want to play. :D

Entrant list updated up to this post.

Im in too. Cool game.

Question, you are supposed to vote for player's chacaters like HURT KIOVA, but if you don't know who ppl's characters are, then how are you supposed to vote for them?

[johnny139]

Question, you are supposed to vote for player's chacaters like HURT KIOVA, but if you don't know who ppl's characters are, then how are you supposed to vote for them?

You just say HURT KIOVA. Kiova will be hurt, but you don't know who Kiova actually is.

[Firemaster]

Question, you are supposed to vote for player's chacaters like HURT KIOVA, but if you don't know who ppl's characters are, then how are you supposed to vote for them?

The way I see it, once the game starts, nether posts a list of every character the players recieved. We vote for the characters, we just don't know who got what character.

[netherspirit]

That is correct, you hurt and heal the figures on the list.

Eventually you might be able to figure out who (which member) is "controlling" which figure, at that time you make a private PM guess to me and you will get extra life and you will hurt them.

That also means you don't want other people to figure out which figure you are controlling, because they can serious damage to you if they do.

Does that make sense? Should explain it more indepth?

[Menchy]

Of course. Cool, cant wait. At least my forum games wont be stacked, because Azure Cave will be done. Unless that sneaky Lord_Raidor has some tricks up his sleve(sp). I'm watching you lord_raidor :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: I'm always watching you.

[ZODGILLA!]

Can you heal yourself?

[K/H_Addict]

yes, but do it with common sense. If you heal yourself every day, it'll be obvious thats who you have.

[netherspirit]

Can you heal yourself?

Of course, but remember one part of the game is figuring who has which figure and guessing them for 5 points of damage. If you heal yourself a lot, you might give yourself away.

[toddrew]

count me among the participants, please.

[netherspirit]

count me among the participants, please.

1, 2, Toddrew, 4, 5...

[Firemaster]

Will PMing between players (in regards to the game) be allowed? One possibilty that I can see is that a group of players may get together and agree to vote for particular figures to guarantee themselves the ability to get to the end of the game.

[netherspirit]

Sure I'm in too
But i have one question do you have too heal and hurt someone each day :?:

Yes, you do have to do both in your post. If you want to hurt a unit, you also need to heal a unit, and vice versa.

However, if you forget to post, that hurt/heal is lost.

[Aldin]

Dearest netherspirit,

Long have I admired the genteel way in which you have conducted yourself herein. It seems to me that when, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to clarify, even to elucidate former statements such that a thorough understanding may be had by all, that it is then incumbent upon the players to take stock of their positions and set their hearts and minds to the truths that undergird those positions. As such you will se that my intention is as it ever was - merely to offer salutations to a new member of these here fine boards and never once to impinge upon your clever contest. Thus, it would seem to me that you would

LOOK AT THIS STUPID POST AND DECIDE YOU DON'T WANT ME IN YOUR GAME MUCKING UP THE PROCEEDINGS!

~Aldin, with a tipped hat and a small bow

[deadeyedan42]

The only way that post could have been funnyer would have been if you sighned it, Pat. :lol:

Darkclown

[DoesntCompute]

I would like to play.

[Tiberius]

Darkclown, I think it was said earlier that if you dont post your hurt/heal, then you lose your vote to hurt/heal someone. That is all.

Ooh I want to play this.

You could keep track of a word document with everyones stats in it and still not reveal their figure but just say so and so is out of the game.

[netherspirit]

We will probably start early.

Are there any objections to starting on Monday (the 29th) as opposed to Thursday (the 1st)? The only reason I was going to start it so late is because I was going to be gone early next week but those plans fell through.

What say ye?

NEW START DATE MONDAY THE 29TH

REGISTRATION OPEN UNTIL SUNDAY THE 28TH AT 11:59PM EST.

[Taelord]

YAY say me! I would love to start early. :D 8)

I have no objections!

I know it is too complicated now, but if we get enough of a following here we would make each unit have some advantage, like if both zettian guards target the same unit, they deal an extra point of damage or something.

He already mentioned the flaw in his thinking, which is we don't know who is who.. even though you keep track of score, you could just figure it out, but that would reveal who is who... if two people attacked someone and did one extra damage.. we'd know they were zettians!

I know, which is why I said I would have to come up with "a way to implement it." I will start thinking of some way to implement something like that for the next game. Perhaps a whole new way of playing the Hurt/Heal game!

In the case of the Zettians - more than 2 people are going to hurt the same unit in a day, so you wouldn't know which 2 are the zettians. Unless of course they were in fact the only 2 to hurt them, in which case they would be done for :D

[Tiberius]

Right, worst case scenario, it would be a ton of book keeping on the gamemaster's part in some database looking over special powers and what is activated when everyone's target is plugged in. Sounds like a really complicated macro.

[Firemaster]

What about something like the night time roles in CoNGS where certain characters have a power where they must PM you to use them. For example, in the case of the Zettian Guards, they both PM you with who they want to target, and if they happen to target the same character, that character takes an extra damage. Another example is that if someone gets Kelda, they can PM you with the name of someone they want to use an extra healing on (But not themselves).

That might work. :D

[Tiberius]

Idea which changes the format of the game a little, if you are in the same squad, you know who each other is and you work together, advantage? Maybe, but each member of the squad would have 20/number of squad members starting health (5 each in the case of marro warriors, or 6, 6, and 7 in case of samuri or something like that). Like the shackled in a CONS game, who know each other, you still dont know anyone else and you still vote independently (unless you want to work together in your squad). A unique hero of course might have better "edges" and more life 20 by himself.

[Firemaster]

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Have the advantage that squads and those who would have special roles offset by having lower life counts, like in my previous post, Kelda would have the ability to use an extra heal, but she could have around 14 life.

[Tiberius]

Yeah, something like that. I liked your idea about the night time abilities. to PM the gamemaster to use your special unless it is some auto like a samuri's counterstrike (opponent damages himself when you are targeted) or gorilla's tough (take 1 less damage).

I was thinking all squads and heroes have the 20 points just divided up among the people in the group (squad or single hero) but there might be a better way to balance it. All squads would get a minor edge (to be defined) and all heroes would get a major one or a couple minor ones (to be defined) and maybe that edge is just more life or an extra heal or something. We would have to decide what is most balancing so whoever is playing Q9 cant hit 9 people a night. You know?

[TheMightyAargh]

Ooh, if there's still room I'd like to get in on this!

Thanks!

Everyone heal themselves the first day!!!

J/k....

[TyG17]

I think we should leave out special abilities this time with so many people that way everyone is on even table and no alliences are already formed by squads or what-not

[Punisher_fan]

I'll play.

I think we should leave out special abilities this time with so many people that way everyone is on even table and no alliences are already formed by squads or what-not

Right, we were talking about a future time to add some element to the game that is closer to heroscape. That is if it isnt too much of a pain.

[netherspirit]

I have updated the entrant list again. As always, if I missed you let me know.

I will start sending out the PM's with your identities tommorrow afternoon.

Signup will stay open until Sunday at 11:59pm EST.

The Game will start at 12:00am EST Monday.

[Firemaster]

You know something I just realized? With over 60 entrants, as many as 6 players could be knocked out in the first day alone; although, I think 2 or 3 will be a more likely number.

Yep, it will definately be interesting to see what happens the first day.

[Dragon4201976]

I just pm'ed nether I want in this sounds like a good time

[deadeyedan42]

Question! do we HAVE to heal some one if we hurt some one?

[Dragon4201976]

that was answered you must hurt and heal someone they cant be the same

[netherspirit]

Question! do we HAVE to heal some one if we hurt some one?

Dragon#'s is correct, you HAVE to do both in your post and they can't be the same ones.

I am thinking some special titles may be in order.

Titles will go to First, Second and Third place.

I might be able to come up with something else, and will announce that if/when I do come up with it.

[Firemaster]

Another possabilty for a Title prize could be if one of the players turns out to be really good at identifying players' characters.

[netherspirit]

I have started sending out PM's with your identities, everything was random.

[netherspirit]

Shew, all 63 Identity PM's have been sent out. If you didn't get yours let me know.

SIGN UPS WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL SUNDAY 11:59pm EST.

[netherspirit]

Just to answer a couple of questions I have received via PM

The list of all the characters in the game will be posted on Monday at 12:00am (hopefully I can stay up that late).

When a character is destroyed, it WILL NOT be revealed which member had control of them.

People who have had their characters killed CAN STILL POST (if they choose) Hurts and Heals. However, they will not count towards a figure's life total.

Dead figures can not come back into the game, by any means, after being killed.

Dead figures can still have their identities guessed. If you are right you will get the 3 life, however if you are wrong your figure will still lose 5 life.

Can dead figures try to identify other characters AFTER being killed? (I don't know if this has been asked before...)

[netherspirit]

Can dead figures try to identify other characters AFTER being killed? (I don't know if this has been asked before...)

Since they can't come back into the game from guessing someone correctly, there would be no reason for them to. So no.

Their Hurt/Heal posts don't count, so neither will their guesses.

I can't imagine many people will keep posting after they have been killed, the only reason they would would be to throw off everyone's record keeping, which some people might find interesting, but I really don't think many people will keep posting after they die.

You can not ever reveal your identity, whether you are dead or alive. The secret identities are the biggest part of the game.

[Stealth Dodge]

People are resenful of Q9 and are taking it out on him in the game

[Firemaster]

As of this post:

[HS ~ KNT]

How does Q9 have 4? I have him at 2?

[Firemaster]

He's taken 10 hurts (-20 health) and 4 heals (+4 health)

[HS ~ KNT]

Wouldn't it go like this?

Q9:
Start 20
7 hurts -14
6
1 heal
7
1 hurt
5
1 heal
6
2 hurts -4
2
1 heal
3
2 hurts -4
-1
1 heal
-1


He should be dead, I think?!

[Firemaster]

Ok, we both miscounted. I had counted 10 hurts, you counted 12. He actually took 11, so he is at 2 health.

[Firemaster]

Bah, I'm getting myself mixed up. I forgot to add in my own vote, which I'm not tracking on my spreadsheet.

[HS ~ KNT]

The total doesn't much matter, it's the order. If he's at 2 health, and then he takes a hurt and then a heal, he's still dead, right?

[netherspirit]

The total doesn't much matter, it's the order. If he's at 2 health, and then he takes a hurt and then a heal, he's still dead, right?

Correct the order of the posts is whats important.

If he is at 2 health and someone hurts him he is dead, if the next guy to post heals him, he is still dead and that person wasted their heal by not keeping track.

I will calculate everything and post an update tommorrow morning at some point.

[netherspirit]

One thing I forgot to mention:

DON'T EDIT YOUR HURT/HEAL POSTS IN THE GAME THREAD

[darkclown789]

Sorry, the only edit I did: I took away my signature, I usually sign my posts but I thought the thread was for Hurt/Heal's only.

Sorry....

[netherspirit]

No worries dark clown.

Remember that today and the few hours that the game was up yesterday count as ONE DAY. If you posted a hurt/heal yesterday you can't post another until 12:00am EST tommorrow.

Yeah, I put it up about 6 hours early because there was no way I was going to be awake at 12:00am this morning.

This gives everyone a chance to post their first Hurt/Heal.

25 people have posted so far today, 40 more to go!

[daevablacc]

Wow, sux 2 B Q 9. 1 down...

[Firemaster]

I think Darkdino has wasted his vote, because as far as I can tell, Charos is not in this game.

[netherspirit]

Also, be sure to hurt or heal figures that are actually on the list. :twisted:

Hey Nether...
Are the dead people allowed to hurt/heal?

[netherspirit]

Yes but they won't count. They can only vote if they want to and its really just try and throw people off.

[netherspirit]

I think Darkdino has wasted his vote, because as far as I can tell, Charos is not in this game.

I'll let him vote again, but after this if anyone votes for someone that isn't on the list, that will be their vote and it will be wasted.

[Ketch]

haha, nice, I like the fact you can mess with people's mind!

[Tiberius]

Right, think of the consistency with the hurt/heal rule that once you are dead, you cannot be healed. The alternative way to do it would be count up all the hurt and heals at the end of the day and apply everything at once but order is being counted, so once you are dead, you are dead.

[netherspirit]

I will be doing everything in the order I receive it.

Guess PM's as well as Posts in the Game thread. Everything is timestamped.

For example if someone is at 2 life they PM me at 12:00pm with a correct guess on a unit and get +3 life
The next post in the thread is at 12:01pm and hurts his unit. Everyone might think he is dead (depending on when I do the next update) but really he is at 3 life. :D

It might get tricky if I get a PM at the exact same time as a post in the thread but I don't see that happening and if it does, I will figure something out.

[Neurosion]

Nether, what's your platform of choice? If you're keeping track of all this semi-manually, I could probably whip up an ugly-but-functional .NET app that can keep track of life, who has voted when, etc.

Consider it an attempt at balancing my karma in advance of all the bad thoughts I'll be projecting at Peyton this Sunday. ;)

If you wanted to take a crack at it that would be much appreciated, if not thats cool too. Excel is a lot of work but its functional. :D

There are still 25 people left to cast their hurt/heal votes. I did not count drakeinator9's vote because he voted to hurt Sgt. Drake, who is not in this game.

Nether, if drakeinator9 and Darkdino don't make another proper hurt choice before this day ends, will their heal votes count or not at all?

The entire post is ignored. No heals or hurts.

Same goes for all those people who posted Sunday and didn't read any of my posts so they posted again today. :twisted:

[netherspirit]

Updated Life list posted on Page 5 of the game thread. Depending on how the rest of my night plays out, there might not be another update until tommorrow morning.

You may notice that DW9K has an * next his life, this is how I will indicate the figures that have been correctly guessed so you know. Remember that a figure's identity can only be guessed once. Now that DW9K has been guessed he is safe from losing 5 from any other guesses and no one else can gain the 3 life from guessing him.

I was not expected a guess on Day 1. Wow, what a risk!!

Here's a question, do you all want the list in alphabetical order or in order by life points (highest to lowest or vice versa).

[hivelord]

sorry bout that.

By my tracking, Dund was the one who correctly guessed DW9K's ID. I was not expecting there to be any correct guesses untill around day 5. Anyway, here is the update on the highest/lowest HPs:

Lowest Health: Finn 5 HP
Highest Health: Major X17 22 HP

[netherspirit]

I had a very long very crappy day, so I am going to hit the sack. The next update will be in the morning when I get to work.

After 11:59 pm EST everyone can post again and we will be done with this Sunday/Monday confusing nonsense.

I rolled the D6 and tommorrow is a DOUBLE HURT DAY!

TOMMORROW ALL HURTS WILL DO 4 DAMAGE!!!!!!!!!11

Tommorrow the real carnage begins!

[Firemaster]

Ooooh, a double hurt day. People are going to be dropping like flies.

[Ketch]

No, don't put the list in life order.. that will just encourage the game to pretty much be kill the lowest life total guy everyone!!

It already seems kinda like that as it is :P
Thats just my opinion

Now that DW9K has been guessed he is safe from losing 5 from any other guesses and no one else can gain the 3 life from guessing him.

Wow, I didn't see anything that would constitute an identity guess. Whatever.
Question!! So no one can guess DW9K for the rest of the game or the rest of the day?

[netherspirit]

When you hurt or heal either of the Tagawa units please specify either Samurai or Samurai Archers. If you don't specify which one, I will assume its the Samurai and NOT the archers.

In hindsight I should have only used one of them... :duh:

Lowest Health: Zombies 7 HP

Well, now they are are nearly dead. Unless they can get a heal, the next hurt should take them down.

heal marro warriors


If my math is correct, the Zombies are now dead. All because today is a double ouchies day.

I was factoring that in already. My calculations put them at 4 HP left.

Hmmm, I guess you are right. I must have mis-counted somewhere.

[K/H_Addict]

perhaps you went by nethers next update. which has the zombies listed at 9 health, which is what they would have been at if it wasn't a double hurt day. I think he may have posted that before he rolled the die for today's effect.

I am going back to yesterday's last update and refiguring everything from that point on.

[Firemaster]

I double-checked, and everything checked out, except for the Zombies. Did they make an incorrect guess? Because if not, they should be at 5 HP.
