Aarondalf's 1st Annual Pistol Shootout

[Aarondalf]

Geeze thanks for clearing me!

Wasnt it more along the lines of "If Aarondalf is mafia then he is absolutely stupid for killing Skoobee."? I cant remember the rest.

[groza528]

Note to James:
I feel really special now that everyone has something to remember me by.

[Aarondalf]

OK, 7 hours till the first round shoot out.

Just a reminder to send percentages and targets in.

code:

---

These people need to send me stuff:





Agamemnon   - both percentages and target.


Groza528    - percentages.


Lepton      - both percentages and target.


Madlaughter - both percentages and target.


Murray      - Target.


Schwartz    - Target.


Zenbeam     - both percentages and target.

---

Note: If your name is in there for not sending me percentages, you might have sent them to me, but wrongly. (Eg alot of people have sent in percentages like 35-65 or 25-75, but I would like you to send them in 10% increments. Your only choices are 20-80, 30-70, 40-60, 50-50, 60-40, 70-30, 80-20)

I guess I am not very good at explaining myself. Anywho, for anyone who has done that, I will round down or up, your choices at random if I dont get any reply email.

Round One is closed!

It will take me a while to work out if this round was a blood bath or just a blood bucket.

[Aarondalf]

I will go in alphabetical order of those shot at:

Chuck had a bullet aimed low at him but went straight through his legs, relieved he wiped away the sweat on his forehead. Little did he know he was just cleaning the landing space of another bullet which took the opportunity to drive itself right into his skull. CHUCK IS DEAD!

Dave10000 got three haircuts from three bullets, luckily none of them found the proper mark.

Mithrandir took a bullet in the earlobe but it was not fatal. Then another two wizzed by but missed their mark.

NC got VERY lucky. Stopping to tie his shoe kept him alive as a bullet went straight past the spot where his head should have been.

Salty now sports a scar on the cheek, but he will live to fight another round.

Sofis was shot in the foot, but a quick bandage and a drink was all he needed. Lucky his foot wasnt in his mouth, eh?

The Master laughed as a bullet went by him, WAY off target. Too bad he opened his mouth though, the second bullet quickly making a home in his throat. THE MASTER IS DEAD!

Zenbeam got shot in the pistol, its broken, but I gave him a new one

SEND IN YOUR TARGETS FOR ROUND TWO Be sure to put "round two" in the heading of the email.

[Death]

COME INTO THE LIGHT, CHUCK. YOUR TIME ON THIS EARTH IS OVER

HEY MASTER, DIE YOU MAFIA SCUM

Has anyone seen my horse?
His name is Binky

[NC]

Cue Gloria Gaynor......
"I will survive....."

P.S. I only count 14 shots fired in round 1,did my blank swapping trick work then?

Thats because 5 people didnt submit their target in time. It isnt a HUGE disadvantage not to fire, so I thought I would do a round a day, to speed things up.

If anyone ever feels they wont be able to send me emails on any days, then you can send them in bulk. That way you wont miss out on the killing.

By the way, do you want me to say who shot who, or would you rather keep it a secret???

[NC]

I'd say keep it a secret and let folks try to figure it out.
Of course,as the number of players gets less, it will become easier to figure out who's aiming at who.
At the moment i'm going thru some old threads trying to find out who dave10000 and mithrandir have upset enough to justify 3 shots at each of them!

[The Master]

Damnit. I am dead so soon. Who the hell shot me. BTW, was it me or someone else that killed Chuck?

------------------
Vanna, is it up there?

[Chuck]

It would be nice to know who actually killed each dead player so we can plot our eternal revenge.

[groza528]

I don't care either way if you tell who shot who, but don't tell who missed.

[Sofis]

Ow! My foot.

While I agree that who aimed at who should be a secret for now, I would like to know after the game is over.

------------------
I'm a really rich pink and scarlet steam-like fabric with gold highlights and some very dark maroon-purple (thanks, tiny cow!).

[mithrandir]

yikes, you guys are really after me

[Chuck]

Don't worry, Mith. I won't shoot at you any more.

[Da5id]

I saw you ask about how to determine death but didn't see discussion. How about making the percent you calculated (12% in your example) the damage (12 pts) and each player can sustain 100 pts of damage?
Not very practical if there are only 2 opponents but with as many people as you have it would make for some interesting strategy.
Not that my opinion matters as part of the peanut gallery, but for next time.....

------------------
You die. She dies. Everybody dies.

[Aarondalf]

If it were a points system, then people would just shoot at whoever lost the most points after first round. I like the idea of a quick death with a bit of luck thrown in.

I wont tell who missed who but I will tell you who killed who:

The Master was killed by mole.
Chuck was killed by The Master.

[Da5id]

Well, not neccesarily, but I see your point.

------------------
You die. She dies. Everybody dies.

[Aarondalf]

OK, I have noticed that the people who didnt send in targets last time, also didnt send in targets this time. If they dont send me a target in round three they will be eliminated.

The people are:

Agamemnon (where is he?)
Lepton
Murray (not sure whats up)
Schwartz
Zenbeam

If you wish to change targets because of this new information then by all means, but you have 5 hours I think it would be not right for someone to get a clean hit only to realise their target would have been dead in a day.

Round Two results

While sleeping Agamemnon didnt even notice the bullet as it wizzed past his nose. Remember if you doesnt wake up by next round I will pull the trigger myself

Courk is a pinky short now, but she can still shoot with as much accuracy as she ever did. But she really liked that pinky so it might be a psychological disadvantage.

Drinking a glass of radioactive juice before playing certainly helped dethwing. He mutated to have a skin of steel just before being shot in the chest, but it wore off and he is back to normal now.

Lepton was sleeping like a baby when he was hit in the back of the head, needless to say he never woke up LEPTON IS DEAD!

With a swivel of the hips mithrandir dodged two bullets! Then another came at his face but with lightning reflexes he caught it in his teeth.

Keeping true to his name, mole dug a hole into the ground just before the shot hit him in the back. Then two more bullets came and hit the mound of dirt covering him up forever. He suffocated minutes later... MOLE IS DEAD!

Murray is alive to visit the land of dreams once more. WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD! He is lucky that the bullet bounced off his sleeping bag, which was made out of titanium. It wont stop the cyanide injection I will give him if he is still in the coma tommorow.

Salty's salt shaker stopped the bullet which was aiming at his...er...nether regions. Its probably best for all of us that the bullet didnt hit.

Sofis was hit in the other foot today, he has to be in a wheel chair for a little while, but he can still shoot a pistol.

To top things off, Lepton was killed by Eykir, Mole was killed by Mithrandir and Schwartz

PS: Sorry Courk. I work under the philosophy of "you are male untill proven female Who else here is female? I dont weant to offend anyone.

[Salty]

Good God that was close, and yes, it is a very small salt shaker.

It's a miracle, I will go and celebrate by shooting someone.

[ZenBeam]

I'm lucky to be alive....

My home computer blew a fuse, but I'm back now. I just sent my round three target.

------------------
It is too clear, and so it is hard to see.

[mithrandir]

at this rate i'm going to have the gl record for being shot at the most...

[James]

Hey, Everybody likes me!
(tries to dodge hail of bullets next round )
BTW Aaron:Courk is a girl.

------------------
An optimist and a pessimist were trapped on an island...
They both died.

[groza528]

So what happens if it gets down to two, and they shoot each other? Who wins?

[Internet Stranger]

I wouldn't mind knowing everyone's percentages at the end of the game.

It also seems like a certain person pumped up on the defensive side... (6 bullets indeed)

I also would like to say that if I would have played I would have set the record for most bullets in a body with 18.

------------------
-------------------------------------------

"I didn't know she was your sister I swear!"

[Salty]

It would have been nice IS to have had a chance to avenge all our sisters.

[Aarondalf]

Sorry Courk, its changed now.

[Courk]

My pinky!!! Someone shot off my pinky!! Uh!!! I'm speechless!! Well...Atleast they didn't shoot a manatee.

If you ever run out of my names, e-mail me, I always check that first.

James, thanks for correcting Aaron.

[Aarondalf]

I wont be here for the night (my time) so I have to do this round early, everyone has sent me emails, except Agamemnon who probably wont send me anything.

Round Three Results

Agamemnon has slipped into a coma (never to wake

Courk was lucky this time (unlike yesterday), a bullet went right past the place where her finger used to be.

Dethwing now has one more bullet than everybody else, whoever shot at him aimed the bullet right down the barrel of his gun and it somehow reloaded itself...and got filled with more gunpowder for some reason...

Eykir no longer has a belly button, and I've heard that a bullet to the stomach is the most painful way to die EYKIR IS DEAD!

groza528 makes a wonderfull red fountain, but I dont think he appreciated the shot to the neck. GROZA528 IS DEAD!

Two bullets looked certain to end Madlaughter's life, but they hit each other and safely passed on either side of his head.

It seems it will take a miracle to kill Mithrandir, another two shots fired at him, and both BOUNCING OFF HIS CHEST, is he even human???

Using karate skills NC punched away two bullets like they were flabby blocks of ice, or wood.

Lucky Sofis has broken feet, his wheelchair saved his life three times. All the bullets got caught up in the spokes of the wheels and funnily enough they all hit his feet, hahahahaha! Everybody laugh at Sofis and his swiss-cheese feet!

Waking up from his slumber, Zenbeam quickly pulled his titanium sleeping bag over his head, the bullet bounced off the bag and hit Sofis in the big toe! Looks like Sofis is wheel chair bound for longer than we thought!

To sum the round up Eykir killed groza528, Zenbeam killed Eykir

The ghost of mole shoots Aarondalf.

The ghost of mole shoots Aarondalf.

[Agamemnon]

The comatozed Agamemnon has been sending his e-mails to you, but alas it seems you have not received them. I shall just sit back in blissful slumber dreaming of Laetitia Casta while all hell breaks loose around me!

[Aarondalf]

Hey, I still haven't got an email. I am not sure what could be wrong, my address is Aarondalf@hotmail.com and you have emailed me in the past so hmmm...

If you can discretely send me your choices somehow, then you can be revived from the coma. I am sorry for the mix up.

Maybe try emailing from some other account?

[Aarondalf]

Of course I cant lets you have targets for the first three rounds as they are finished, but when you email be I will tell you your percentages, and you will not incur any penalties.

[Agamemnon]

Have just woken from my dreamy affair with Laetitia and e-mailed you once more. Hope you got them this time old chum.

[James]

Aaron, it's your game, so do what you like, but I'd suggest giving us all "new and improved" laser sighting pistols which double the net chance of a hit, (so if there was 12% before, there would be 24% now for example)

------------------
An optimist and a pessimist were trapped on an island...
They both died.

[dethwing]

mith is getting pretty lucky...7 shots?

------------------
It would be impossible to discuss the subject without a common point of reference

[mithrandir]

8 actually

[mithrandir]

ya know, if this gets down to 2 people, the chances for each are going to be equal (randomly determined by whatever Aarondalf is using)... how bout we settle it with a match of rps?

[The Tree Stump]

I'm the tree stump.
