Um, I think in Phase 3 that my move should happen before Twonky's. I have a faster timer, no? So he shouldn't have pushed me?

And, sadly, I don't get to shoot Grund.

He had an Move 3(810) to your Move 2(720) so he goes first on both counts. High numbers go first move and ().

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 10:05 pm

Higher numbers move first. Move 3 is always before Move 2, before Move 1, before Back Ups before any rotation.

Phase 4:
Grundbegriff (Trundle Bot) - Move 1 (660)

stessier (Twitch) - Move 1 (570)

Trundle Bot drives off before Twitch can push him.

Trundle Bot is shifted S and rotated right, then shifted W.

If Shinjin makes it to that double wrench to shut down and pick up another option I will be mighty impressed. Nice turn.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 10:16 pm

Phase 3 looked like a train wreck. One of the few times I had to move the all the bots involved before I started accounting for belts. Usually I do it as a whole piece, moveshift.

He was last on about 4-5 hours ago. I'll keep an eye out this evening. No evidence of him on the boards at the moment.

I've spent far too much time not shooting anybody. However it's unlikely that stessier will take 2 more hits in Phase 5, so I'll have to go with Tractor Beam and hope that he ends up in front of a laser while he's shut down...

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 10:51 pm

On it... updated.

You did not want Twonky getting this one...

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 11:09 pm

And I have to wait a whole turn before I get a chance to use it...

No, but that option is in the deck.

Still, imagine getting 8 cards every round, but having to deal with that Move 3 in Phase 2 every turn...

Yep. Definitely the most evil thing we've seen so far.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 11:27 pm

Hands are out, we'll go Wednesday since there's only four to run.

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 11:30 pm

Nice turn, Shinjin.
Note to self, regardless of other needs/desires keep a wall between yourself and Twonky at all times. Yikes.

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 11:39 pm

Supposing someone, say Squash Bot, gets nailed with a register lock. Can a wrench be used to clear the lock, or will only shutting down clear these locks?

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 11:41 pm

Healing damage through wrenches will allow you to clear locked registers.

At least I have a turn to run and hide before you can bring that my way.

Alrighty then. My bad.

Dang, I can't even kill myself. Twitch's self esteem is dropping rapidly.

Serves you right for skipping out on Hulk X-90's pit jumping course.

Hey, don't get on his back about it, you are the one that helped him cheat to get credit for that class anyway.

Yikes! Just when I get flag 2, I don't have the guts to go to Flag 3, as twonky is there.. Imagine if your 1st register is locked to move 3...

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 3:22 pm

Is it Wednesday yet?

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 4:54 pm

Not quite. Besides, I want to give plenty of time for you to change your mind a few more times.

Hey, in fairness, I only changed it once then recinded the change. Twonky scares me. It makes me jumpy.

Don't forget the last Option I got -

Dual Boot: A system upgrade that allows the Bot to shutdown the damaged operating system for repair through the normal announcement and boot to a secondary system. The full 9 cards are dealt to this player without skipping a turn.

Even with that, you don't scare me.

Twonky still does though.
