Welcome to the first game of Mage War!

* Wintermoot inserts some backstory about mage battles for control of the land that he didn't have time to write up

* Wintermoot won't point out that this could really be converted to just about any theme

The game is pretty simple...each player who signed up has been assigned a square on a 30x30 grid. On every turn, which lasts a day, players will guess a square on the grid...if that's where another player's tower is, that player will be removed from the game. Actions will be taken based on the order players posted that turned, so if the first player to post their guess hit's the third player to post their guess, that third player's action will be cancelled and they will be removed from the game.

Obviously, the winner is the last person standing.

To help you, you should see an actual grid at the top of all pages of this topic! The blue spot is the location of your mage tower, and only you should be able to see it. Red squares are squares that have been hit in prior rounds. If you hover your mouse over a square, you'll see its coordinates, which should help you when guessing a square.

The only rules are that you can only make one guess a turn, and you should post your guess as [x-coord, y-coord] (for example, [1,3]). Again, hovering over a square in the grid will give you its coordinates.

gl;hf!

Oh, this is nice... I love it whenever you extend the forum's capabilities like this.

Wait, so space or no space?

Ooooo, that's a nice grid. Ok, I have my dice, including ones to tell me to count up from 1 or down from 30. *scatters dice everywhere* And somehow I have two nat 8's and a nat 20, this is going well.

[13,20]

[26,3] thanks to RNGesus.

[28, 7]

Lol, this reminds me of that time you were using dice to decide your choices for Hannah's CYOA DOS game and justifying it awesomely.

[1,3] Since its the example

Never forget the great keychain scare. Praise the almighty RNG. Praise it.
But! This time, they're colour coded!! Blue for x, yellow for y! (I am far too happy with that).

Well since this is mage wars I'm gonna cast magic missile at [8,16]!

[1,1] ?

[15,15]

Just to be sure... rules as written, you remain in the game if you target your own position, since only targeting another player does anything. Is this correct? Not sure if that's due to the possibility of two people having the same coordinates, or if I'm just the only one crazy enough to consider targeting my own position before anyone else can to make everyone think it's clear.

if that's where another player's tower is, that player will be removed from the game
