Quick Fix 47: Multi-Man Melee

[Mat he/him]

Joshua notes the formation of a Jes - Vicki alliance.

[Experience he/him]

I bet my best piece of chalk that the game is over in four rounds. What do you guys say? 

[Vapor she/her]

Nah

[Illwei]

I mean when I said Friendship advertisement, I was honestly thinking something more along the lines of :

Hey guys, I'm going to pick Osborne defense, so if you want to be able to communicate with people without having to resort to codes in Thread then HMU

But I mean that works too :P.

Also, I disagree, but also I'm not taking that bet lol

Analysis of defenses:

Ballintain: No defending, guaranteed kill on anyone with one layer of protection (Taylor, Forbiddance). This is highly likely to get you killed, but it allows you to kill more effectively. If you are lucky enough to stay alive for long enough, this will ensure the victory.

Matson: 2-cycle roleblock. Good for small-scale scenarios. Use on a person, kill them next round. 

Taylor: Extra life. If you spam Forbiddance, you are practically immortal. 

Sumison: Knowledge with no penalty. Helpful, though in a 1v1 scenario with a Taylor, you will never win. This does help you eliminate the Ballintains.

Osborn: PMs. Probably useless. There is no benefit to plotting in a free-for-all. 

Analysis of lines:

Forbiddance: Defense from one kill. Useful in conjunction with Taylor.

Vigor: Kill. Useful in conjunction with Ballintain or Matson (after a roleblock)

Making: Useful in conjunction with Taylor (because you won't die when you don't defend yourself) Roleblock in the future. Easy way to kill someone in 2 cycles. 

Discussion is a moot point. Strategies fall apart if known. Alliances are inherently unstable. Trust no one, for no one will never betray you.

Why not? If you think it won't happen, why not bet something? How about your favorite hat? Or maybe if you're actually not so sure about it, what about your left sock?

[Vapor she/her]

I'll bet you 6 purple pennies shaped like penguins.

I want to bet, but I-  I didn't bring anything of value with me to this competition. 
But I think it'll be over in 6 turns

Done! 

Now, I'll bet the feather on my hat that at least 6 people will die in the first round.

Ah, yes. Sounds like a... actually, I'll give you a new bet. I bet my hat that you'll be dead by then.

Actually, I don't have those. I'll bet my lucky chalk it ends in 5-6 rounds.

I wasn't saying I would do it. I believe I will also be dead by then, unless I win of course. I bet that the game would be over in four!

[Vapor she/her]

I bet my other lucky chalk that I'll lose the first round.

Now someone get ready to hit me.

Vicki looks up at Jes, nervously fidgeting with her strawberry blonde hair. "I could use an ally."

Jes jumps, not having expected anyone to reply. “Great!” Maybe I should try this talking to people thing more often?

I'll take that bet, and I'll also bet that I won't be the one to do it. I bet my shoelaces.

[Vapor she/her]

Vicki smiles. "Thank you."

Shoukd I pm you?

"you weren't saying you would do it, but I think we all know how things work around here." Alex narrows her eyes and looks Shard over. "your shoes are untied."

[Vapor she/her]

Vicki fingers her chalk, dusting her fingers with a light green powder. "So, what exactly are we supposed to do until the tournament starts?"

[Experience he/him]

"Make bets. And allies, I guess..."

[Vapor she/her]

"Well, who wants an ally?"

[Experience he/him]

Shard discretely hands Vicky a note.

"Oh Vicki, your innocence will be your downfall." Alex sits down on the ground and takes out her notebook.
