The Cataclysm Tournament of 2017 [OOC]

Okay since we've had Lazzamore and Cilin both drop out, and since it's a double elimination tournament, that's going to leave some holes in things and land us with some people without opponents for the later rounds. There's not much that can be done for it and I apologize for the people who will have to wait out rounds. If you come up as an opponent against either Lazzamore or Cilin's character you will simply be defaulted to the winner, and will need to wait until the next round of matches.

In the meanwhile Captain Cannonfists and Aman will be declared winners of their current matches.
 
Um...I guess the wind had no effect? I'm not quite sure what to take out of that one aside from an attack. I guess so, I mean, he ran into the blade, so I guess.
 
I forgot to also post it here, so as you've seen I dropped out of the tournament, sorry for that, the problem is that there's a lot going on IRL and I don't think I would be able to focus on the tournament thing, so I believed it would be better to get out already instead of making people wait a lot for my posts and also receiving low quality replies from my part, so I wish good luck for everyone still in the tournament and have fun
 
Hey @Otomos the Crazy, your 48 hours had passed.
I'm sorry, I probably would've given you some more time to respond if we weren't so close to the deadline. I responded (in Gamber's favor, of course), so it's up to you again.
 
I thought we were waiting till the deadline to let the judges finish this, but okay. A little heads up or "hey are you still there?" would also have been nice.
 
Oh, didn't know we were doing that. :confused:
We could keep it the way it is right now, if you're okay with the current situation.
 
I'm actually waiting for Tiko. I feel that my latest post was influenced by a morning grumpiness mixed in with a little bit of salt from lack of communication, and I wanted to see if I should change it.

Until then, do you wanna explain how your spores work post-superdrink? I'm legitimately curious.
 
You mean how they're supposed to paralyze the one who's being infected?

The spores need to get into blood contact, so that they can flow around in the victim's body. Another method also works fine, but the spores basically need to be able to reach the brain. There they use the water to grow quickly on certain places, namely the lobe that forms the link between the body and the brains, and the spot where impressions are being "made" into concrete actions and thoughts.
That way, on the one hand, there is no way to control your body because it just gets cut off, and on the other hand, it makes sure that the brain can't think on its own. It's still alive and has some basic feelings and emotions, but it can't make reasonable thoughts nor philosophize anymore.
 
That's pretty much a philosophical question, but basically because you can't make any concrete thoughts, it lowers your consciousness towards the consciousness of an insect, or a plant. You still have impressions like aaahhh..... cat....... yess.... bear............ no!!!! scaaared...... monster........, but you won't have any conrete thoughts like I am in a fight. I have to do something. I am going to die! I need to run! Who the hell thought it was a good idea to drink beer?.
 
Ah, so it does something to take away complex thoughts, and force the individual into relying on instincts?
 
Alright, that's interesting.

Also @Tiko is my post too much or not? I kinda made it with a lot of negativity, so I wanna know if you think I should change it.
 
My shift is about to start. Won't be able to take a look until tonight. Also reminder everyone, the matches close at 12est today (except for otomos and randium). Your guys closes tomorrow at noon.
 
Okay, this is just a reminder to @Tiko so I can see of my latest post is acceptable or not. Seriously, I don't want it to cause any problems.

Sorry for the bother, but I really don't know what else to do...
 
Looks like an auto-hit to me. You can't write that you crushed your opponents head and killed them. You can only write what your character is attempting to do and how. Whether the crush happens will depend on who has more preps into the attack/defense. Otherwise the attempt to crush your opponents head will be canceled out by their protecting their head. I would need to read the whole match to determine that answer, but either way you can't write it automatically happening.
 
Thanks.

@Randium I edited my post. You can respond if you want. Please keep in mind, though that we only have a few hours, since I'm pretty sure that Tiko's 12:00 Noon is different from mine and maybe yours.
 
Match winners have been edited into the first post of the matches, except for otomos and randium's match which fell just shy of a KO for either contestant. That match will be scored and a winner determined. This is a lengthy process that requires a lot of care, so the winner won't be posted for a few days.
