... I'll just assume the mine has been dropped where he intended it to be dropped, then.

And wait for him to add that "flavor" before I do anything.

... I am preeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure that Olsted intended that Iris and Destero was to land one square to the left of where it would seem that they have now landed, and that he was under the impression that when dropping a mine one does so on a square adjacent to the one the unit is currently standing on, and not on the same square. I'll say so because I myself was under the impression that was the case, only seeing the truth now looking at that latest batch of moves. If he wants to change that last one... which I'd assume, considering the damage I could cause from there... I'm entirely fine with that. The strategy kinda doesn't work as it looks now. I'm just saying.

... How does the mine work?

Edit: So, the unit moving over it will take 10 damage and be forced to wait in place without doing anything. According to what it ways in the overall document, that is what I read, anyway. Haha.

Dat exchange. I am sure there is a deeply tactical reason behind it all that I just have not taken the time to understand, but from here it just looks like the most exciting exchange of commands ever! XD

Scripted Roleplay?

I find A to be absolutely unforgivable. The player should always be allowed to play exactly as they desire, and any effort of the GM to manipulate their actions should be discouraged. The only thing the GM should be allowed to give is "suggestions". However, no requests. No scripts. The GM should not know what his or her players shall do next, nor attempt to control it. So I feel.

As for B, I prefer EVERYTHING to be kept as a surprise. The GM should make all the decisions for what will happen in the world him/herself. The players should only know as much as the player characters know, or the experience will be diminished. Someone who states out in the open what will happen in the OOC before it has happened... I want to strangle such people. Really.

Though, as for C, I am entirely alright with a prophecy about a certain individual being the giant-slayer. A specific character can say he or she will be the one to kill the giant, no problem. However, after that, the GM shouldn't control the actions at all. If he ends up being the one killing the giant, wow, nice prophesying, seer! If it was someone else that killed the giant, whoopsie. Saw a bit wrong, eh?

That is my thoughts.

Game of Tails

... The battle has gone on for an hour, huh...? Solia and the heroes have been taking their sweet time on useless stuff, eh... How long would it take to fly from the island to the castle?

Since I can already see where Olsted will be when he finishes, I will go ahead and write my movements.

Introduction (SIMPLY BECAUSE I WANT TO~!)

The party of five moved into the abandoned crypt, moving cautiously among the ancient constructions towards their destination, the atmosphere damp and depressing compared to what could have been. In the middle of the woods like this, it was impossible to keep ones spirits up and refrain from being cautious walking past each marked pillar… unless you’re Ryouko, that is.

“Woooaaaaw…!” Ryouko happily resounded, looking up at the ghastly constructions. “They’re ancient…! I wonder what kind of people built this…?” The excited and curious little cleric successfully made the other’s smile at her complete inability to read the mood, and brightened it therefore simply by being herself.

“They should be the product of-” Naiyo the fighter started, feeling it her duty to answer the curious soul, but she is silenced before the answer can be uttered. (slightly because I have a slight lack of an idea of what it would be)

“They’re over there…” Yasuno stated, a happy grin of blood-thirst touching the myrmidon’s lips as she brandished her sword, clearly intending to cut something to pieces. The smiles disappeared from those who still had theirs, and eyes directed forward towards the enemies they were fated to be facing today.

“Alright, what manner of enemies are we facing?” Takaho asked, the mage’s annoyed expression (which had been annoyed for a long time now due to a noble like her being forced to move into dank places like this) turning towards the leader of the party, the lord with the unsure and slightly fearful expression looking forward with her hands clutching her bow.

“A-a Pegasus Rider… A lance and a sword-user… A wizard… and a cleric…” Ayuna muttered between her hesitation, her mind at work trying to work up a good plan which would allow the enemy to take initiative and start moving. Though, even while Ayuna was muttering to herself about what should be done from a tactical stand-point, Takaho the mage behind her simply smiled confidently with a snort.

“Oh, that’s it? Then we’ll be fine.” Like she already had control of the situation, the confident noble stated so. “Ayuna can take care of the Pegasus, Naiyo should be able to handle any lance-user they have, I am supremely confident I can out-magic any wizard they may have. I will assume Yasuno can resist any sword-user for a while, and Ayuna will be able to support in any case, since the Pegasus will hardly be a threat for long. This match is ours.” The proud noble stated as if she believed herself to be a tactical genius.

“I-it isn’t that simple…” Ayuna whispered in a stammer, knowing all the things about maneuvering, initiative and pairing and else what-not that could so easily turn what Takaho had said upside down.

“You will leave our tactics to Lord Ayuna, Lady Takaho.” Naiyo, who was also Ayuna’s guard, stated. While this discussion was taking place, Ryouko merely looked back and forth between her allies wondering what they were talking about since she only knew she was there for healing and while Yasuno just waited for this talk to end so she could get over there and cut some people into small-small pieces. Eventually the noble mage just shrugged and replied to Naiyo.

“Fine. But the moment my orders don’t make sense, I’ll do my own thing to save us.” So Takaho declared as she spun around with a prepared Fire-tome ready for battle. Naiyo gave her a disapproving glare before nodding to Ayuna that they were done talking. A slightly relieved Lord Ayuna nodded before focusing with a deep breath to tell…

“Alright… This is how we’ll move.”

Takaho Move (+1, 0), Pair with Yasuno (0, +1).
Naiyo Move (-1, 0), Pair with Ryouko (0, +1).
Yasuno, Ayuna and Ryouko Move (0, +5). Ayuna Wait.
Yasuno and Ryouko Drop (0, +1).

Yukiha, who is staying behind, should provide her vulnerary to Takaho. The vulnerary will not do any good to her out of battle. I also wish to switch the locations of Naiyo (fighter) and Ryouko (cleric). That's about that.

Ready.

82 is a pretty good roll! XD

Fire Emblem Battle Royale

A unit with Mountaineer will never be able to obtain Acrobat. And if they do, by some strange way of skills passing along with class-changes which I do not believe is the case, then they're idiots. They could have aimed for a lot more worth-while skills. And that's about that.

Very well. Awaiting my opponent's confirmation, then.
