Striking Arm by ddevans96

Interesting...

But doesn't this make the game much easier for the Guards and Target?

Implosion just pointed that out on chat. I'm going to remove the role so we can get this started quickly.

[ddevans96]

There are five positions: North, South, East, West, and Central
There are six professions: Target, Guard A, Guard B, Striker A, Striker B, and Referee.

Target: The Target is always in the Central position. His objective is to not get attacked by the Strikers. The Target can choose to face one position
Guards: The objective of the Guards is to stop the Strikers from hitting the Target. They can choose to defend the Target from the North, South, East, or West.
Strikers: The objective of the Strikers is to hit the Target. They can choose to attack the target from the North, South, East, West.
Referee: The Guards and the Strikers send their positions to the Referee via PM. The referee then posts the results on the thread.

If a Guard and a Striker choose the same position, the attack is blocked.
However, if a Striker chooses a position that is not chosen by a Guard, the attack hits the Target.

If both of the attacks are blocked, the Target and Guards win.
If one of the attacks is blocked, but the other hits, the remaining Guard and Striker repeat.
     If, in this case, the Striker and the Guard choose the same position, the Target and Guards win.
     If the Striker chooses a different position than the guard, the Strikers win.
If both of the Strikers connect with the target, the Strikers win.
If the Striker attacks the Target from the position the Target is facing, the attack is cancelled.

For the next game, the positions would rotate in the order Target>Guard>Striker>Referee>Guard>Striker. I would be the Referee for the first round, to clarify the rules.

Purity Riot, If you could remove the lines in red and change the line in blue to the line in green below, that would be great.

Guard A>Striker A>Referee>Guard B>Striker B

Mhm. Next game we could add in interesting stuff like different amounts of health and abilities.

Example Rules:
Each player starts off with 5 HP. Each Striker deals 1 damage when they hit the Target. They win when the Target reaches 0 HP. If a Guard or a Target manages to obstruct a Striker, he is dealt 1 damage. All other additional rules that don't contradict these still apply. And maybe some abilities, 1 for each position?

Trap Master (Guard 1 ability). Trap Master may target a direction. Any Striker that strikes this direction has his strike negated and is dealt 2 damage. After that, the trap is destroyed.
Sniper (Guard 2 ability). Instead of choosing to guard this round, this guard may instead deal 1 damage to target Striker.
Ninja (Striker 1 ability). This striker may strike through one Obstruction. Obstructions are when Guards target a direction, Target targets a direction, or a Trap.
Armored (Striker 2 ability). If a guard or a Target obstructs this Striker, he is dealt 1 damage. Obstruction still happens.

These are just examples to make the game more interesting. Ignore them if you so choose

Vengeful (Striker 2 ability). If a guard or a Target obstructs this Striker, he is dealt 1 damage. Obstruction still happens.

Hm...good ideas, but i made this game to be incredibly simple. That would complicate it quite a bit. Although, the ideas could form the basis for a new game, an different and possibly better one....hm...*goes to extremely large booklet* xD

[icybraker]

Right.

Can we be a-startin' now?

[ddevans96]

Right.

Can we be a-startin' now?

The guards need to submit their stuff first, then we can begin.

[ddevans96]

Okay, This is what happened:

Icy chose to attack from the North, but he was blocked by Decktrya.

Implosion attacked from the West and Linkcat blocked from the South.

If both of the attacks are blocked, the Target and Guards win.
If one of the attacks is blocked, but the other hits, the remaining Guard and Striker repeat.
     If, in this case, the Striker and the Guard choose the same position, the Target and Guards win.
     If the Striker chooses a different position than the guard, the Strikers win.
If both of the Strikers connect with the target, the Strikers win.
If the Striker attacks the Target from the position the Target is facing, the attack is cancelled.

According to the rules, namely the part in red, Implosion and linkcat now have to choose a new position.

[ddevans96]

Implosion attacked from the West once more, and linkcat stayed guarding the the South, so Implosion and Icybraker have won this round. We now switch positions

It cycles Guard A>Striker A>Referee>Guard B>Striker B>Guard A. Look at the professions for round 2.

Profession	Round 1	Round 2
Guard A	linkcat	Implosion
Guard B	Decktrya	ddevans96
Striker A	Icybraker	linkcat
Striker B	Implosion	Decktrya
Referee	ddevans96	kilfer8

I suggest a points system. The winners recieve 2 points, and the referee recieves 1 for judging fairly. It would give this game some competition.

[icybraker]

Can I resign? This game seems entirely luck-based. Sorry, but I have other things to do. Good luck.

[killfer8]

Striker A for next round or if Icy forfeits I'll go instead of him

[ddevans96]

Striker A for next round or if Icy forfeits I'll go instead of him

for the next round, Icy would have been referee, so you get to be that. xDIt goes through a cycle.

[ddevans96]

Round 2 will now begin!

Profession	Round 1	Round 2
Guard A	linkcat	Implosion
Guard B	Decktrya	ddevans96
Striker A	Icybraker	linkcat
Striker B	Implosion	Decktrya
Referee	ddevans96	kilfer8
