Quantafied - by Kuroaitou

Spoiler for 'Lore':

He rolled again, the fate of dice,
Twice the power for twice the price,
But his roulette spin, went a bit too far,
His body exploded like a giant star.

ROUND 13

Quanta has been recalculated.

Timdood3 has died (via explosion)!

ALL ROUNDS ARE NOW ON A ~24-30 HOUR DEADLINE!

Protip: Spreading out your quanta over multiple pools makes you more susceptible to destructive effects, but also makes it harder for players to guess what element you could focus into.

ROUND 14

Quanta has been recalculated.

No one has died.

ALL ROUNDS ARE NOW ON A ~21-30 HOUR DEADLINE!

Protip: You don't always need to use Ultimate actions; sometimes, using back-to-back major elemental actions can cause more long term damage.

Well everyone can use death quanta and there are counter strategies. How in the world is there any imbalance? >.<

[Kuroaitou]

Spoiler for 'Lore':

'And none for Gretchen Weiners skyironsword, bye.'

Zawadx's tempest alongside ddevans96's electric attacks zapped skyironsword into oblivion, and caused dawn to stuff his face with quanta in replacement of the sadness and quelled his heart.

ROUND 15

Quanta has been recalculated.

skyironsword has died (via depletion)!

ALL ROUNDS ARE NOW ON A ~21-30 HOUR DEADLINE!

Protip: Don't overestimate your spending; spending less now can help you avoid sticky situations later on.

Spoiler for 'Lore':

The last two stood tall against each other.

And rose to the skies to fight once more...

ROUND 16 17

Quanta has been recalculated.

dawn to dusk has died (via depletion)!

ROUNDS MAY BE DONE IN SUCCESSION IF BOTH OF THE REMAINING PLAYERS AGREE

Protip: You may have to 'mimic' tactics of your enemy in order to place them in a worse position than you (i.e. - if they're trying to get you to explode, you might have to do the same thing).

Suuure, let's ignore how dd was a betraying scumbag ;-;

[Kuroaitou]

Spoiler for 'Lore':

The magi from afar looked in the distance of the last two battlers...

"These twats are still going at it? Goodness."

His friend looked at him awkwardly.

"...it's been barely a quarter-hour. Hush."

ROUND 18

Quanta has been recalculated.

The final battle is still ongoing.

ROUNDS MAY BE DONE IN SUCCESSION IF BOTH OF THE REMAINING PLAYERS AGREE

Protip: Sometimes, having a double-digit negative value can be beneficial, as it can allow you to store up massive amounts of quanta in a positive-value element to unleash major havoc.

ROUND 19

Quanta has been recalculated.

The final battle is still ongoing.

ROUNDS MAY BE DONE IN SUCCESSION IF BOTH OF THE REMAINING PLAYERS AGREE

Protip: 'Halt' can be an effective tool in converting someone's future Major/Minor elemental actions into a 'Wait' action for the current round, acting as a miniature stun.

Spoiler for 'Lore':

Summoning a flurry of curses towards his opponent, Zawadx thought that he had reached the zenith of his magical aptitude, capable of weaving storms and sudden floods with hexes and transmutations of all twelve of the elements. He was nearly unstoppable; despite being in the arena for such a short time frame, he knew how to survive and improvise strategy and cooperation between the other opponents. Soaring through the skies or letting the skies soar through him into the form of whirlwinds and powerful elemental blasts, it was supposedly his game.

But his final curse may have been that of just of an unlucky fate.

After using a taboo against ddevans96, he noticed his body suddenly becoming hot... fiery, nearly unbelievable in the heat. As if a fever that wormed itself into his core and began eating away at his quanta reserves, he suddenly couldn't move. His vision got blurry, his mind began to disconnect... and his last breath, despite being a powerful huff, was just that - a huff.

The fight was finally over.

-----------------------------------

ddevans96 looked up and noticed the dome to completely unravel itself. The battling grounds was opening up, and the magi from earlier had landed gracefully in front of ddevans96, looking at him with a nod of approval.

"The measure of life cannot be objectively defined by a quantified, numeric value. It is up to each of us to understand that to truly live in this world."

...and as that being vanished, ddevans96 sighed, realizing he was once again free... and hopefully, never to return to this prison of elemental quanta.

Zawadx has died (by depletion)!

CONGRATULATIONS TO DDEVANS96 FOR WINNING QUANTAFIED!~

Feel free to talk about Quantafied regarding any compliments, suggestions, critiques, and/or questions regarding the game mechanics. Quantafied 2 -might- be re-hosted in the near future, although that is up to you guys. Thank you to everyone who participated in this game, and as always, I hope that you all had some semblance of fun in this crazy game~

[ddevans96]

gg all s/o to dawn for not dying, Zaw for being an epic final battle, and half the players for making me constantly paranoid.

Kuro, thank you for hosting and putting up with my bombardment of questions, there's definitely room for improvement but this was a solid first run in my opinion.

Critique: I think you should look at how often abilities were used. Those with more usage than others for their type and cost should be considered for nerfing and those with less usage should be considered for buffing.
