Square One

[The Potter]

Last year I ran Square Zero. This square is different.

Having the yellow ball is very helpful but not the only way to win. You may carry only two balls unless you have a backpack.
Dear Readers of invisible text: GET THE YELLOW BALL!!
This game will be updated (hopefully) once a day. Players don't have to make a move during that time but it will probably be beneficial. The game will be updated as long as 3 people have made a move and it has been about 24 hours from the last update. You may communicate outside the thread if you want.

Turn order will happen according to a predetermined secret ordering of players that changes every round.
On every turn you may do three actions. If an action you make isn't legal, I will ignore it and go to the next action.
All actions and information will be announced in the thread.

Turn options:
Move up, down, left, right.
Stab someone you may target either a space or a player. It will be successful if it is in the same space or an adjacent space. Causes one damage to the victim.
Give you may give any item you possess.
Steal you may steal an item from someone if you are near them.
Press buttons Buttons do stuff.
Other actions items that you find in the square may allow special actions.

Each player has 3 health units. If you reach zero you die and may start over from the beginning. Players are expected to die once!

The person who reaches the flag first wins!

I expect the game to take 10-20 days

(and now I will edit in the empty board)

Let's give it a try. I will take the blue thing on the left with the 2 purple circles.

[The Potter]

Good, I was afraid I was going to start with just MNOWAX! Others may still join at any time--there shouldn't be a big loss in starting late. Just post your opening moves as you sign up. Six players would be about perfect. (maybe a weekend isn't the best time to start...oh well)

Anyways, three moves.

I won't mention in text where the balls are. That is what the graphic is for!
MNOWAX has no special items
Zandor has no special items

Ironically, we now start without a move from MNOWAX.

I won't mention in text where the balls are. That is what the graphic is for!

D8 has a ball gun and beer

MNOWAX (3) has no special items
Zandor (3) has a blue ball
lexprod (3) has no special items
Amb (3) has no special items

Day 1
Zandor picks up a blue ball
D8 has a ball gun and beer

---
beer gives extra health but has intoxicating influences (note: you can pick it up and carry it around or drink it as one action)
ball gun allows players to shoot balls in a direction and potentially hurting targets

Yes, stab Zag for not joining yet!
