Quantafied 2 - by Kuroaitou

[1011686]

Can we have "conditional" actions? As in, do action A if i have enough quanta, otherwise do action B.
If just one of the players being targeted by swap or funnel uses block, what happens to the other player?

Also, how did Cleanonion die? Since he used ignite first, shouldn't he have  as his highest pool when blizzard came around, not everything else?
And since i lost 10  due to blizzard, shouldn't Puff have gained 10  ?

Can we have "conditional" actions? As in, do action A if i have enough quanta, otherwise do action B.

No - do not do this, or else all of your actions will be invalid. Send in one set of moves, and stick with it; the thing about this game is that you do not know who will target who with what action, so you cannot give out a 'multiple scenario' swiss knife of movesets to counter everything!

If just one of the players being targeted by swap or funnel uses block, what happens to the other player?

For Swap or Funnel, the action fails.

CleanOnion died because:
-After using Ignite, he gained 5 , so 1 + 5 = 6 quanta
-He gained 2 from d2d's Ferocity via Harvesting, so 6 + 2 = 8 quanta
-ALL spending always occurs before implementation. So he spent 7 quanta on Evolve, the implementation of Evolve was not processed yet, so 8 - 7 = 1
-Implementation phase occured, Blizzard takes high priority, he dies due to the highest pool(s) being 2 quanta each.

No, he doesn't gain , because again, precedence of implementation is different from precedence of spending. You spent quanta on Scale, that's fine, but the implementation of it was processed AT THE VERY END (See the OP: Scale is the last 'debuff' to be applied for this very reason). Blizzard occurred before your Scale was applied.

She blinked.

In the distance, as four victims eventually gave in to the destruction of others (usually by falling into some sort of event horizon of another dimension), a hydra with four heads with lava dripping forth from its mouth unloaded the corpse of one of the victims that died within the past few hours. A dull sizzling noise radiated off the body, alongside the smell of what was a mixture of burnt leather and plastic. The body was for her to take apparently, a gift from the beast she summoned using her body heat (or what was left of it).

Okay.

She sighed once more, and turned to the sky, noting the area pressure changing once more as a light mist (polarized? magnetic) covered the field again. More battling. No sleep.

ROUND 4

Quanta has been recalculated.

The following people have died (in parenthesis implies the previous round):
(CleanOnion)
(MeowMeowCat)
randomperson123
ji412jo
Manuel

Protip: If two people use the same exact Elemental action of high precedence on the same or a 'chained' target, the one with higher quanta goes first.

Rounds are put back to 48 hours due to issues regarding scheduling. Noted and revised!

Dear god I'm stupid

Spoiler for 'Lore':

"Just... die... already... "

He was getting frustrated. His target was evading him, but he wouldn't give up yet.

As resources became more and more scarce, Linkcat was able to manipulate and find food from some of the wounded, and a surprisingly fresh batch of fruit from several trees that had grown inside the expanding crater. The walls that surrounded the arena covered a larger circumference it seems; the territory was being destroyed or manipulated outside the boundaries, which in turn, exposed the layers of the wall underneath the soil. Whoever erected such a boundary had anticipated this well in advance, as the perimeter grew and shifted to account for the movements of everyone still inside.

The sound of a hydra hissing its last breathe boomed.

"NO NO NO! FLUFFYKINSSSSssss! D: "

He rolled his eyes. The girl's pet was finally subdued. Another warrior popped out in front of him behind a intricate stack of bones and ivory.

"WHACHA U WAN BRAH? U WAN A PEAS A'DIS BOI?!" yelled the fighter. His (or its?) face was crawling with parasites.

Linkcat squinted his eyes and conjured a miniature black hole near the fighter, only to see a blurred fractal; a distortion of the infected man several meters away in actuality, running away with his hand flailing about. Taunting? Really? In the distance, a man who morphed partially into a lizard also seemed to glow with a yellow light. The lizardman was found to be in a completely different direction scrambling away.

"Ugh... Time magic. Fun stuff. Just like running out of toilet paper while on the toilet."

Unable to use his abilities towards one target, Linkcat simply targeted a so-called 'Dimension hopper', and turned his body into a desiccated corpse, revitalizing his energy towards the battle once more.

ROUND 5

Quanta has been recalculated.

The following people have died:
ProBacon

Protip: Always read your statuses! Many of them (such as Scale, Rot, Exsanguinated, Relapse, Cement, and various others) are debuffs that can be removed easily by doing a very specific action or set of actions, while others require the assistance of 'Dispel'. Removing detrimental effects from yourself (alongside beneficial ones from enemy players) is an important tactic to ensure that you don't lose ground suddenly from a multitude of over-time damaging effects (both subtle and blunt).

"Y-you can't do this! ...ESPECIALLY YO-"

The girl went silent, her body suddenly seizing movement as her cells suddenly shifted to an unusual green color. The mist in the air had changed her body's metabolism so much that she was now a endlessly growing mass of moss.

"Ha! No-bad-day mess wit da wun troo fi-tah~" majofa had claimed his first kill out of the numerous that occurred within the past few days. As the elements changed the battlefield, so his mind was already warped by the numerous 'gifts' he bestowed upon himself throughout this game. It felt like a week almost passed, but he knew better; time magic was used once before to elude himself of one of the more formidable opponents, and someone else had used it instead to simply revert everyone back to their natural starting state... relatively speaking.

In the distance, a stunned scholar had looked up after being hit by what was the sound of a banshee screaming with the ferocity of a lion. He couldn't move. Panicking, he tried his best to shift his energy into the day before, but was unable to counter what had hit him.


"Get up. Come on. It's not- aw fudge it. Need a moment."

He took a few deep breathes as his body readjusted. Turning his head left, he saw the corpse of someone he thought was familiar... ...the image of his dawn to dusk's body suddenly reminded him of a battle long ago that he didn't participate in, but wait- why is it so vivid? How does he know this one? D-did... did he do this before?

ROUND 6

Quanta has been recalculated.

The following people have died:
dawn to dusk
kinkykitten624

Protip: Even if you're stunned for a certain number of actions, there's still the possibility that you can stay in the game based on what actions you choose on your non-stunned turns. Creating alliances, strategies, and last-minute 'deals' with other opponents could give you the necessary edge to survive being stunned.

Does Cement override Memorize?

Does Cement override Memorize?

Yes.


On another note folks, player majofa will be removed from the game, and given the 1st place prize (for more or less figuring out how to heuristically 'beat' the game). The round will be reset back another 2 days soon. All players will have their 'stun' removed, and several of the following abilities will be changed to avoid a 'recursive victory loop' scenario.  Deepest apologies.

• Supersonic (will be possibly either nerfed to 1 turn stun, or unable to be used more than once in a round by any player).
• Evolve (will no longer refund quanta, nor will it generate quanta upon being targeted)
• Funnel (only removes 1 quanta from every pool of a target, does not redirect it to another target)

EDIT: majofa techncially has won 1st place, players will compete for 2nd and 3rd.

ROUND 6.5 [technically]

Quanta has been recalculated.

The following people have been removed and granted 1st place:
majofa

MAJOR NOTICE: majofa has won 1st place for Quantafied 2. Players are still allowed to compete for 2nd and 3rd place respectively (I will award points to people who tie). In addition, the abilities that caused the 'recursive victory loop' have been changed/nerfed severely to prevent future exploits. The round has officially restarted as if Supersonic never occurred, and all players are encouraged to resend their actions given full freedom of their abilities and quanta.

Changes include:
-Supersonic lasts one turn and has more specific requirements.
-Trance clarified to avoid exploits of players using Trance on a target already affected by it.
-Evolve no longer generates any form of quanta (via 'refund' or quanta generation from being targeted)
-Funnel only drains 1 quanta from each pool.

Battle for the 1st loser.
Neat.
