Welcome to Gaia! ::

And thusly they arrived at the beach. It was pretty.

There was something about sand that didn't sit well with him.

So mad .

Marbles, marbles, marbles...

neutral

So many breasts around, though.

Disa was playing fetch... with a three headed dog... that no one seemed to notice.

And so a plan was hatched.

When the morning came, a campaign would begin to bring Isle de Gambino under control of the BDS.

Scarface, bitches.

(Having returned from my excursion I'd like to state that neither I nor Dunlad agreed to this. I feel that the opposing team performed an all or nothing attack that didn't turn out in their favor and now, whether purposefully or unintentionally, are attempting to skirt out from under the consequences of their actions.

I believe out defense is wholly within reason. Not only did my team come up with several scenario's whereby we could all escape unharmed, but I believe we came up with several good reasons as to why the team attack shouldn't have gone off in the first place or at least without a heavy hindrance.

Discounting the fact that the team attack wasn't so much simultaneous attacks as predominantly displayed in the examples portion of the Triad and the fact that none displayed a team attack against multiple opponents we still had several advantages as follows. First Mooo mentioned his grenade blasting up a visual barrier of sand should it not actually strike the Ferrari their team was in. The driver slowed down his car and mentioned that he was affected by the sand but that was never added into the calculation for the roll. Nor was the support gunners sudden loss of a support on which to fire his heavy machine gun when the window frame he was resting on was almost entirely destroyed by my attack, disregarding the fact that this attack should have very likely at least wounded one of them. Finally the raging bull shot that struck Stryphes shoulder should have, for all intensive purposes, amputated his arm. I believe he suitably illustrated the rounds power in his post and gave his opponent the opportunity to dodge it despite the almost absolute lethality of the round, but it barely even hampered his movement.

Not to mention the fact that the team was already skirting the rules by being allowed to perform their team attack despite the sudden loss of marble power. (Yes, I am aware Opaj approved this)

We complained about none of this when they attacked and accepted the roll. Fate shined upon us in that particular instance and that is all there is to it. Your team performed the attack knowing full well the consequences and (despite some impromptu rule creation to fit the situation) we succeeded so we should be able to reap the benefits. I don't think it is realistic for their team to be able to escape regardless of the outcome and frankly I believe it is unfair to us. Especially after their team displayed they were only too willing to completely avoid any sort of entertainment we might have received from the fight by trying to destroy us instantaneously. Not that that is against the rules, I just feel it is robbing us of any roleplay value, especially given that you basically attacked us with a grenade plus distractions. An explosive we had employed the equivalent of three of only the turn before without repercussions for your team.

Finally Dunlad has informed me that he would feel robbed if he didn't get the chance to use his Riposte marble. This was one of the only situations in which his character would be able to make use of the marble and (against all odds given his defense) he survived it and wished to make use of it. Seeing as how the altercation basically crippled his defensive score I feel that is equally within our rights.

I would greatly appreciate a judges call on this situation as well as a postponement of any further action by the opposing team until this is resolved.

We survived a hailstorm of s**t that delayed our team several hours and it wouldn't be fair unless we paid the opposing team back with interest.)

((alright, here's my roll. If I fail it, deal with the riposte, but we did come to the conclusion that no one died, remember that. Besides, I feel like playing this character in future Mainstream events.))

((W00t! Just barely survived!))

(I don't think you're getting this, guy. I said I didn't want you to get of scott free and magically escaping the battle in between event times is just the kind of s**t I was talking about.)
