>>19062601

just because it seems more interesting than straight one-on-one.

>>19062601
Switching vote to tag team

>>19062601
Well, as awesome as KotH would be, I'm going to have to say no. They have superior team work and a heavy guy with beam rifles. They chose the territory so they presumably know it better, there is no sane reason to take it.

Tag Team sounds fun, though I'm hoping we haven't just screwed ourself over.

>>19062523
[x] 1v1 duels

We talked about this guys, these people rival Nine Ball in terms of skill and power when they work together. Let's not try out luck gentlemen.

>>19062635
>>19062619
We need to keep this to 1v1, Let's not forget both of those events involve team tactics. And from what I read, the opposition has the upper hand in team based fighting.

>>19062601
Ehh... Let's not Tag-Team. While yes, more interesting, it is too dangerous. See it this way...

Let's say that we send someone against them, let us say Dave. Dave is against the Lancer, but the lancer tags out for the twin energy lasers guy. Dave gets fucked. Then they tag out again to someone who can defeat our next guy, and so on and so forth. This isn't even taking into account that if one of them is much better than the rest of the team, in one versus one they can only win once. However, in a tag team, they could defeat the whole team, or perhaps two people, leaving it instead one versus two, or something akin.

One versus one is the safer, although some would argue more boring, choice.

>>19062672
>although some would argue more boring
Yes, yes I would.

>>19062672
I didn't switch because it's more interesting I switched because we can use that tactic too.

>>19062672

>You could also say that that's also completely true for you as well. You can do all of those things. Plus while they could go for best of three on the 1v1, they have to take out ALL of you for tag-team.

>>19062684
While it is more interesting, we're only setting ourselves up for a fucking abysmal failure. We need the prize money for hope.

>>19062693
I'm assuming you would be doing the rolls for our team mates battles again this time, if so please use fate points as needed.

I put my vote in for One vs One its a safer bet, hopefully we Dave and Laurie pull through for us.

>>19062702
Speaking of prize money, is there a prize for third/fourth place?

>>19062719
I'm guessing there is but I'm under the assumption this is one of those lose and we go home with nothing type of gigs.

If nothing else, as a last resort we can start destroying the zeppelins.

Also, this terrain just completely fucks over the lancer, why did they chose this terrain? If he fucks up his charge, he'll probably kill himself with the fall depending on how high up it is. Knowing the arena, probably as high as they can get them.

Zepllins......


Just watch one of our heros is gonna have an anticlimactic fear of hieghts.

>>19063046
>We can start destroying the zeppelins

Honestly? There are plenty of ways to take advantage of this terrain with a lance, but this is a group of team based fighters.

Indeed it was. The Minicons made the Transformers more powerful. And the human kids each had one, like a bike and a scooter or some shit.

>>19063442
>One last one just for gits and shittles.

WEISS NACHT I CHOOSE YOU!!!!

>>19063622

You get into the transports, wondering exactly what the hell a Zepplin battlefield is supposed to look like.

After posing the question to the rest of the team....

"Come on, how crazy could it possibly be?" Dave asks.

"In Vegas? It's probably going to blow our minds. It's going to be insane." Laurie chides while you notice some techs attaching something to your cores, and when asked they responded that the mag-lock attachments and the parachutes were safety precautions. The chute would auto-deploy in case of a ring-out, and the mag boots were to 'broaden your horizons'.

"50 bucks says it's nothing we haven't already had to deal with."

"Easy money."

You are then asked to deploy onto the prepared platform for your team. Launching out you get what the Zeppelin battle field was supposed to be.

Pure spectacle.

Looking around you can see hundreds of aircraft of varying size in a constantly shifting formation with cables and platforms strung between them. A good many of the ships have some form of armor plating on them to support a core's weight and protect it from errant shots. In the middle of the formation, and possibly the only stable landmark is the air-fort Daedalus. An impossible flying maze of gun emplacements, shields, launch and supply ports for fighters and cores almost a mile wide and half again as long, with the stacks and thrusters keeping the behemoth afloat.

>>19063643

You stare in awe as the platform you stand on drifts up to one side of it, and you see the massive construction up close. It has to be almost 500 feet tall at it's most extreme points.

First you hear Dave's voice meekly admit that owes Laurie a 50.

Then you hear Mr Smooth's voice crackle on over the radio. "Alright, here's how it works. You get taken out, the next man on your team steps in. You fall off the platform the Chutes will save you, but it also counts as a kill for the other team's score. The mag boots WILL support the ENTIRE weight of your core, as will all of the visible platforms. Do not land anywhere obviously not meant to catch you. The various blue patches you see scattered around are the Tag zones. you hit it, you're out, your team mate is in. They are required to stop shooting at you as soon as it's a confirmed contact that we will announce. As soon as you're out, you must go DIRECTLY to your support platform, where you currently are, and whose location will always be displayed on your HUD. You may not use the last point where you tagged out to tag out again, the location of 'expired' tag points will be displayed to avoid confusion. While you are on the bench you may do basic repairs: get ammo refilled, get some new plates. No new parts, you lose an arm it stays gone. Do you understand the rules as I have explained them?"

>Do you? Last chance for questions.

>>19063648
The points have one use per team, right? Using one won't shut it off for both sides?

>>19063648
AC-Guy you magnificent bastard.

>>19063662

>Actually, the other team has red patches. Also, you can tag out whenever, but there has to be a guy on the platform and you can't use the last place that your team used. All others are open.

>The other team is currently getting the same explanation.

>>19063681

>I remember I once built an arms-fort like thing for my players to fight in a fantasy-craft game with miniatures and everything.

>When they took out certain sections I had embedded fire-crackers blow them the fuck up.

>Sadly I only had like a week to build it and is was like six feet long so I didn't get to use the level of detail I wanted to.....

Oh, hey, did we decide who goes first on the team?

>Meanwhile....

"This is fucking insane..." Ari breaths as she gets her first real look at the battlefield.

"Head on a swivel kid." Mooch calls back from the cockpit. "You've got Elsie's eyes with you, and they're going to need all the help they can get. Tell me where to put the bird, and I'll get 'er there, but you're the go to for over-watch today. This far out of his element, Alex is going to need all the help he can get."

She looks next to her and sees Elsie looking through her electronic scope with the feed straight to her computer.

She takes a deep breath. "Alright, let's do this. How long until the match starts?"

"Ref's doing the count now. We're live in ten...."

>Which order are the three of you launching in?

>>19063930

>>19063938
Well, I'd say Laurie, then us, then Dave. Doubt it will matter much though since we'll change out to counter when necessary.

Doubt they would put their Lancer first in line, so that's why I don't suggest putting Dave up first, but when the Lancer touches down, swap to Dave.

>>19063938
Laurie, Dave, then us

>>19063970

>Well, deployment order is locked, so when person A tags out, B goes in, then B->C, C->A.

Laurie

This way we can fix shit if our teammates fuck it up

rolled 19, 35, 89, 88, 37 = 268

>More or less unanimous.

>>19063648

You take a deep breath as the countdown continues.

"Seven.... Six......" Smooth's voice drones into your speakers.

You listen to the incessant banter between Laurie and Dave, trying to cool their nerves.

"Five.... Four...." A quick ping shows you that Josh has sent you a last minute good luck note. A moment later another one comes in from Ken, who apparently is helping your mother pass on the best wishes.

"Three.... Two..... One-" Mooch gives your team the heads up that they're in position. Laurie heats up his jump-thrusters.

"START!" Smooth's voice roars along with some distant cheers from the crowd as the platform rocks with Laurie's sudden departure. On the platform opposite, you see the Lancer deploy and start coming to Laurie in a staggered charge. Laurie immediately boosts back while deploying auto-turrets.

>>19063702
>>I remember I once built an arms-fort like thing for my players to fight in a fantasy-craft game with miniatures and everything.
>>When they took out certain sections I had embedded fire-crackers blow them the fuck up.


Youre going to hate me for saying this but..
Now you should do the same thing, but with a little RC motor in it so it walks around while the players are fighting on it.

>>19064096
>Those Rolls

Either very good, or very bad.

rolled 22, 32, 53, 16 = 123

>>19064096

The lancer puts up his shield and jumps over the worst of it.... Right into Laurie's swing. The smash cracks the shield on his arm, and slams him sideways against the deck, losing his spear over the side in the process. He lines up the shot with a cannon built into the underside of his shield, as Laurie tags a blue tag above him.

The Lancer is standing less than three hundred yards from your platform as he does so.

Dave hears the buzz and spots the plan immediately, coming off the platform low and fast....

rolled 29, 43, 98, 60, 1 = 231

>>19064127

His Heat rod rips right through the shield and the arms holding it. The lancer dodges back while letting loose with a missile blitz. a few lucky hits takes Dave's still extended arm off at the Elbow, and while he's distracted by the pain he manages to tag out for the Heavy with the two beam cannons....

rolled 97, 57, 60, 61, 50, 32 = 357

>>19064146

>Holy shit....

Aww shit, I feel like these tournments are really punishing dave. At least it's not us for once lol

>>19064146
Damn it I said use fate points he has at least 2

>>19064151
This is not going to be a positive Holy shit Dave moment, I can feel it

>>19064146
Is... Is that a good crit, or a bad crit? For us, I mean?

>>19064151
>>19064146
Please tell me Dave didn't bite it already.

>>19064151

The Heavy hits the deck hard and dashes into optimal range, while Dave charges him with his Grenade launcher. As the two of them begin to blast in circles around each other, The enemy takes one of Dave's Legs off with a well placed blast, and clips his grenade launcher, cooking off all the stored rounds.

He screams as he loses his other arm in the process, and seriously damages his armor in the deal.

Then he does something absolutely insane, even by Dave's standards.

He charges.

A flying kick to the other Core's chest with his remaining leg knocks him off balance, and then he activated the mag-lock on his leg and pushed all of his boosters to a borderline meltdown to drag his opponent off the edge of the ship with him.

After they hit the point of no return he disengages his boot so the chutes can deploy safely. A a second later, Smooth's voice confirms that they're out of the match.

You jump off the platform and land on the Daedalus' deck, and you see the enemy captain do the same from across the way.

>What do?

[ ] Hit the outlying platforms, hope he doesn't adapt as quickly.
[ ] Stay on the deck where the rules of combat are familiar to you.

[ ] Play aggressive, keep him on the back-foot.

We're a good mobility mid-range build, so it's time we started to act like it.

>>19064246
I'm more ok with what happened then, thank you for explaining that.

rolled 48 = 48

Platforms, let him come to us, also, stay near an area where we can tag out at a very inopportune time for the captain as well as to save our asses.

>>19064524
I don't trust us to make a harder check even with fate point assistance

>>19064524
Or we could completely fail to hit the lower platform, even with spending a fate point. He'll still have to come to us with spending the point right now.

>>19064522 here, I've been swayed. Going with >>19064541.

>>19064541
Fair enough.
I concede to you sir.

A quick backward thrust and the Mag boots secure your landing.

You turn and see that your opponent has chosen to enter the field at a different point. Now it becomes a game of Cat and Mouse.

[ ] Go up.
[ ] Go down.
[ ] Stay here.
[ ] Ask Over-Watch for advice.

>>19064572
Over-Watch

>>19064572
overwatch

>>19064572
Ask Overwatch for advice.
They have a better vantage point, and it gives Ari a chance to flex her tactical thinkings.

>>19064566
Oh good. It felt really weird agreeing with Udz against you Asuka, it's so often the other way around. (no offence Udz, we just disagree...a lot)

[x] Ask Over-Watch for advice.

"Okay, Ari, call it."

>>19064572
>[X] Ask Over-Watch for advice

>>19064585
No worries.

"Zin, Over-Watch."

"Over-Watch, Zin."

"Guide me. Where's my opponent?"

"Unknown at the moment. You're in the western segment of the battlefield, towards the middle. He entered the air-ships to your North East."

"Advice?"

"You've got to many angles of attack open where you are. Get up high, and try to stay towards the center. We'll be able to see you better and if all else fails you can drop straight down to the Daedalus' deck."

[ ] Do so.
[ ] Other (insert plan).

>>19064614
>[X] Do so.
I'm assuming this is Mooch not Ari

>>19064614
Do so.
It's a solid plan.

>>19064614
I got nothin', let's do it.

What's he armed with again?

>>19064622

>No, it's Ari. Mooch is driving, Ari's giving the tactical support.

Do so.

>>19064635
We will need to make sure she is properly rewarded or punished based on the quality of her overwatching.

>>19064614
[x] Do so.

Bluh. Is that the time? It is the time. I'm off, good luck.

Also, crunch thead is at autosage in a couple posts, so it's pretty much done at this point. It could be made to survive the night, but that would be it, really.

You see a mostly open route that should get you where you need to go quickly enough.

NO NO FATE POINTS, WE NEED THOSE TO SURVIVE THE CORE EXPLOSION

So... Them Mag boots.

Do they mean we can stand on the underside of zeppelins?

>>19064775

>It would be difficult to stick the landing, but possible.

>So are you spending the fate point or what?

We totally should. I don't want to fall off like that.

>>19064787

Average 57, aye? Not that huge a failure, let's just go with it and see if we can just find another zeppelin to hit when we inevitably fail to hit the one we were aiming for.

I'm hoping for some "Why are you upside down, soldier?" shenanigans with the Mag Boots.

>>19064787
Fate point. Lock in crit success.

They exist to be used.

Considering how badly we rolled I'd say spend the fate point

>>19064787
yes sadly

>>19064787
Yes, unfortunately.

>>19064787
...yes.

Also, how many do we have after this?

You fail to hit the course you intended to, but you adjust quickly and you make your way to a decent sized cluster above the rest of the fight. You're just over the one end of the Daedalus, and you begin to scan the horizon for your opponent...

>Give me a TACTICS roll. Target 50.

>>19064825

>Two left.

This is the issue with potions. People hoard them, thinking "I might need them later," forgetting that there might not be a later. Too often I see people ended up dying having never touched their stockpile of potions. Sitting on them gains you nothing.

You get some data on the local weather patterns and do some on the fly adjustment to you boosters based on altitude.

You then make some mental adjustments based on you piloting experience thus far in the match.

>You gain a plus ten to all piloting checks until the end of the match.

>>19064849
Oh good, we're not screwed.

>>19064863
we will need it

>>19064863
This....could be very very cool. Im seeing a fake out in the future of this match. Goad the other guy into a charge near the edge of the platform, use our extra 10 to piloting to dogde and cause the enemy to fly off and fall to the ground....Lol who am I kidding, dice gods hate us.

>>19064863

Ari's voice comes over the coms "We've got him! He got speed from somewhere, and he's gonna try and drop on you from above, coming out of the sun. Use your computer to aim instead of visuals."

That's exactly the music I had in mind.

>>19064905
I fully assume we will need to use a fate point

>>19064905
Im goin back to anime, hopefully you wont die while im gone alex.

We still have 2 fate points.
We should totally lock that in.

Lower is better, even for 4d100, right?

Lock this >>19064913

It's the only one where we don't lose horrifically.

Seriously guys...I mean...seriously...

>>19064935
Considering your obscene rolls, I don't know. More than once we've done that only for you to get even lower rolls.

I think a reroll might be in order. What do the rest of you think?

rolled 65, 90, 55, 22 = 232

>>19064948
I...guess. That or lock in my roll. Im not too sure which to do to be honest.

I'm going to have to go with a reroll.

>>19064952
Seriously need to remember to turn off dice.

I say reroll, hopefully get a more favorable outcome.

I think we should lock the 78 roll simply because of
>>19064941

rolled 63, 54, 78, 69 = 264

>Very well then.

>BEAT MY ROLL.

>>19064952
Locking your roll in would be good if we're talking about the over all result. Reroll would be better if we're taking each component individually.

I don't suppose AC-Guy might actually tell us what's the case here. That's probably too much to hope for.

God damn it guys. When you have a safe bet, take it.

>>19064971
>>19064972
>>19064973

Damn. We still lose badly on half of those.

>>19064979
Actually, it looks to be about the same as if we locked your roll. Win on two, lose on two. And it costs a fate point either way.

>>19064989
Fair enough, I thought it was a slight win over all on mine. Slightly new to this.

It looks like all AC-Guy has to do is drag out the fight and keep making us roll. We're as good as dead the moment we run out of fate points.

>>19064971

>I'll be merciful and take this one.

Your shots go wide, not surprising as you're shooting into the sun, targeting computers or no.

Luckily he only pings a couple of rounds off your armor and you jump to one side and land cleanly on a nearby platform as he smashes into where you just were, leaving a visible dent in the deck plate.

"Not bad kid." He says over the coms. "Looks like you're earning that reputation you're getting with the locals." He levels his guns again "Now let's see just how good you REALLY are!"

>What do?

[ ] Rush him.
[ ] Shoot-out.
[ ] Crazy Ivan.

>>19065012
Rush him.
We're gonna run out of fate points if this goes much longer, and it SHOULD catch him off guard.

Shoot out.

gm-folly.bit

>>19065087
You should really learn to stop giving that option

You think fast. This guy has the experience to be twice the pilot you are and honestly? Getting into a straight fight with a guy with double chain-guns seems like a good way to get killed.

So you do the only logical thing you can: After checking to make sure that the Daedalus isn't directly beneath you, you step off the side of the platform and begin to freefall.

You see that he's jumped off after you, and is trying to control his descent. You just plummet madly downwards, and you see that the last blimp on the bottom below you is indeed armored.

As you pass it, you activate the mag boots and cause the entire craft to roll. Coming back over the top you empty all of your missiles at him before boosting up in their wake.

You take advantage of the rocket hitting him in the face and obscuring his sensors to hit his legs. You manage to completely sever one of them and damage the other as you soar past him and barely make the landing on the edge of the Daedalus.

Then you look back and realize what you just did.

"Not bad kid," your opponent say with a grunt of pain. "but you're going to have to do better than that." He activates the mag-lock on his remaining leg to try and catch himself.

"You know, I WOULD take your threats seriously, but you really don't have much of a leg to stand on."

And lo and behold, the mags catch, but the velocity and the damage you dealt proves to be too much for it as it tears off with sickening crunch as your opponent lets out a disbelieving "Cheeky BASTARD...." Before plummeting to the inevitable ring-out.

you check the feed Ari's sending you, and the Lancer is already gearing up to come kill you. Your rockets are gone entirely, and you've spent a few rounds. Otherwise you're doing mostly fine.

[ ] Take him on.
[ ] Tag out with Laurie.

>>19065282
>[X] Take him on.
we can still tag out when things go south right?

>>19065282
We may be out of fate points, but I'd like to see what we can pull off. He's missing his lance and his shield is cracked. We have a decent shot at this.

>>19065282
we're still good. we can try to take him

>>19065282
Take him on.
If we get dropped Laurie can still come in.

>>19065282
Take him on

>>19065296

>He lost the arm his shield was on, got new lance, and replaced his shoulder pods with high-yield laser cannons.

>>19065282
[X] Take him on.

We may not have missiles, but we have bullets and a sword.

>>19065302
WAITWAITWAIT
Tag Laurie in, have him buy us time to replenish our missiles, then tag us back in so we can pic related

>>19065302
Oh, he still has one arm and no shield. This makes charging us a fair bit riskier on his side as we ought to be able to chew him up on his advance and if he chooses to engage us in a mid range battle we have a serious advantage as that's what we're built for.

>>19065313
Agree'd changing to this

>>19065313
I'm inclined to tag out now as well

>>19065291
yeah, and the dudes missing his lance, and i think an arm?

>>19065363

>Alright then, taking your word.

rolled 93, 45, 78, 95, 4, 99, 16, 70, 37, 52, 50, 57 = 696

You quickly hit the nearest tag-point, and a heartbeat after you do Smooth's voice confirms that the good Captain is good and down.

You land and get you Ammo topped off just in case while Laurie takes on the Lancer.

>>19065380
I have no clue if those rolls are good or bad for us.

Wait a second... Lance and shield? Isnt that what the other pc use for armaments?

>>19065385
She didn't have a shield last time we saw her, but she did/does have a lance

>>19065385
not the same person. Liz is heading to some other area.

>>19065380

The exchange is fast and brutal. The Lancer opens with a salvo that hit's Laurie head on but thankfully didn't do too much damage. Then the spear was thrown forward in a lunge, which Laurie ducked, still losing his chaff-pod on his shoulder, and shoulder checked him in return.

The Lancer booted back to re-asses and took a flail to the face for his efforts. This time the cannons did quite a bit more damage to your friend's core, but Laurie follows it up be stepping in, hooking his lance around his torso, and then mag-lock on the one foot. Then his boosters fire up and he begins to spin his entire core, whipping his opponent out on the end of the line before flinging him into the nearest wall. While he lay there stunned for a brief moment, Laurie unloaded at him until Smooth called it for pilot safety.

Team Snaps moves on to the final round.

>That's it for today guys. Not sure when the next thread will be, given the wonky schedule my friends are currently running on.

>>19065439
Final Round. We're close to getting the 3 million.

Our highest priority is to get the video footage of them and research the living hell out of them. I don't want to go in blind with 3 million on the line.

Is there a second and third place prize?

>>19065439
Laurie always seems to do well.
What do you want us to do with the crunch thread? Just let it die?

>>19065456
yes see
>>19062735

>>19065457

>Meh. Have fun with it, post questions, etc.

>It's like three posts from the auto-sage. If you post a question there and I don't answer it before it dies I'll get to it in the next one.

>>19065463
Assuming we don't total our machines and the repairs remain at a reasonable level we ought to make some damn good money from this no matter what. Which is nice, but 3 mil would go a long way so we should probably go for it.

>>19065472
3 mil pays off Hope's debts if I remember correctly. If we win we also become rather famous. An unknown team from a blown up town comes out of no where and wins the championship. The sponsership and endorsement money alone should be enough for some core upgrades, much less the fact we'll probably get better missions.
