USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 SECOND ASSIGNMENT- 'The Monastery'

Started by SpikeSpiegel105 pages

Cloud will give a big thumbs up to Marduk and make a mental note to buy him a drink when they get back to Zion, then he'll swap out JE for SP and attack with that.

Assuming it was a refresh that turn, I'll take ST, LA and SS back please.

Yes indeed it is; I'll just take everyone's instructions on it.

I'll will refresh IB taking that one tap off.
Next I will switch out LA for ST

I will tap ST for the turn

Also if Berserker finally makes it to Agent D he will tap IB on him

That sngle tap refreshes automatically, Berserker- only needs to use your untap if you had used all three. So you may take another.

Well then since I only have one thing left to tap I'll untap SS

Oh great!

San, how much longer do I have to stay here? If I 10B tap right now I can get the hell out of there and not get punched into oblivion.

Oh, and refresh CC.

Hephaestus refreshes VG and PW.

As Hephaestus closes in on Agent G, he starts things off by smashing his fist into the Agent's solar plexus, then smashing the other up across his jaw.

(tap HL, tap DiM, tap HT, swap DiM for PW)

Mors charges in and swings his katana at the Agent after Heph pummels him, slashing him across the shoulder.

We'll attempt to lure Agent G away from his position with our fighting, as Melis did earlier.

Melis will refresh Lone Bamboo, hefting out her spear as she closes distance with Agent G.

Refresh KW and BT. I'd refresh Coppertop Killer, but it looks like that problem is almost done...

Klez fires on one of the remaining SWAT as he continues his mad dash down to Step 5.

Swap HL for KW.

Sirin refreshes ST, LA, VG, and...oh, CC.

Sirin is almost stunned by the display that Dallas puts out, chucking that Agent over the side, but remembers her feet and runs after him.

"Captain, that was amazing!"

I think I wil refresh COC, as I have used only this so far.

Untap VG, swap HL for VG, and then tap VG on the Agent and ruuuuun!

(that answer your question, Rex?)

As I completely forget that swaps come before refreshes...

Keep VG swapped out so that refreshes...and I guess tap IB on whichever Agent it is that I'm fighting. F, I think.

(needs VG swapped in ASAP)

There has been some confusion about swap timing.

To recap this area:

1. Swaps are the last thing that happen in a turn. The first thing in a turn is the check for Refresh. Hence, swaps come before refrehses (the first swap in a fight is the end of turn one, the first refresh check is the start of turn two. And so on.)

2. In my updates it looks like refreshes are happening at the END of turns. Not so- in fact what I am doing is showing you NEXT turn's card draw. Then normally when you ask for swaps, I use up your swap from the end of the previous turn. This is because you often want to see what has happened before you make your swap, and as swaps happen last thing in a turn, after everyione has moved, I think this is fair.

3. Previous experimentation demonstrated to me that if I show the card at the start of the turn after everyone's swaps it wouldn't work- I'd have to interrupt the game for everyone's swaps, and especially for the refresh. Imagine what the game would be like if you all made your actioms, I started the turn, and drew the refresh card, and had to say "actually, everyone, you;'ll have to give me your turns again, because there was a refresh and your power set-up is entirely different to what you thought!" Half of you would refuse to post actions until I showed the card.

4. It seemed easier (and certainly much faster) to show you the upcoming card for the turn and then allow you to make your swap for that turn with knowledge of the upcoming card. That's technically illegal but doesn't matter unless it is a Refresh. I don't allow these retroactive swaps in refresh turns because you already saw the card, and technically you should not have known you were swapping just before a refresh (except for those rare situations where only the Joker remains in the deck, as is the case right now; we may never see that again)

5. Therefore, the safest way to swap is to ask me to make swaps for the END of the turn, as several of you do. Of course, circumstances during the turn might make you change your mind about what you wanted swapped, but if that happens I normally allow you to change what you did.

Conclusion: if you don't want to get caught out like Lana just was, post end of turn swaps with your action, gambling about whether it is going to be followed by a refresh or not. That is, in fact, how the system is meant to work.

If its not too late, I wanted to swap the tapped CC with 10b in time for the refresh.
But if that has now become illegal I understand.

Not this turn, no- because you all knew the Refresh HAD to come because it was the oinly card left, it doesn't matter.

Lana's main confusion was in which comes first out of Swaps and Refreshes.

Yeah, pretty much...I'm not sure I ever really realized that the card shown at the end is actually for the next turn.

I only have ST to be untapped.

And Barb will head for the 'Copters, I guess.

Well, Ares will just keep firing at the Agent attacking him, then...
