Also, please note that in the case of a tie, tied players will be allowed a re-vote. If the re-vote results in a tie again, the power is discarded, and players involved will forfeit energy equal to the previously tied value.

Dear Players, questions have been answered to the best of my ability in your posts. Please understand that I am working to ensure that there are no complications when it comes to the interactions powers have with each other, which ultimately means that I reserve the right to make authoritative interpretations. I appreciate your understanding and your rigor in ensuring that our game flows smoothly.
Also, please note that in the case of a tie, tied players will be allowed a re-vote. If the re-vote results in a tie again, the power is discarded, and players involved will forfeit energy equal to the previously tied value.

If you changed Imagine Breaker to only affect active abilities, it would be nice if you put that in the ability's description. (I intended it to affect all abilities, as it's current description says.)
Amended. Thank you for your understanding.Last edited by Caycedo on Sun Jun 01, 2014 3:01 pm, edited 1 time in total.-

So we're changing this?
Imagine Breaker edited for clarity
Can Power Bomb only be used on "activated" powers?
Power Bomb edited for clarity
Are Wounded Rage and Fickle Shield passive powers?
Both are Activated Powers, as the user chooses whether they take effect or not
If someone with Beyond The Grace also has the Yin or Yang Essence, then upon their death, in accordance with the Essence, do they lose their Essence before turning into a Ghost?
The player would forfeit Yin/Yang Essence upon the activation of Beyond the Grave.Last edited by Caycedo on Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:04 pm, edited 1 time in total.-

Just a quick clarification: "the holder of the yin artifact" is the same as "the person with yin essence," (and same for yang) correct?
Correct, this will be shortly fixed.
For ease can you separate activated and passive powers?
Yes, this will come this evening.
After player A uses All In, since All In discards all other super powers, that player still technically has All In, and therefore that can be caught with Fake Gold. If player B uses Fake Gold on Player A, then he receives a copy of All In while Player A receives a copy of Fake Gold? Does this mean that Player A is still All In and can now use Fake Gold, and is the copy of All In that Player B has spent or can they use it too?
Imagine powers like All In as a potion. When the player has drank (read: activated) the power, Fake Gold cannot switch the power as it has already been consumed.
I will be providing some additional clarification regarding the finder dynamics of power interactions, and I really appreciate everyone pooling their brainpower to avoid potential issuesLast edited by Caycedo on Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:21 am, edited 1 time in total.-

I believe that the powers up for auction should now have a considerably greater degree of clarity, but please continue to voice your concerns as we work together to create a fun, engaging and coherent game for everyone.
Also, a gentle reminder that the deadline for Power Bids is coming up in a little less than 20 hours from this post.
Good luck everyone!-

How does Crystalize combine with Yang Essence? i.e. I spend 20 on defense and 20 on Crystalize for +4 while holding Yang Essence; what is my defense?
Crystallize and Yang Essence do not interact.
If Power Bomb and its target are used in the same turn, does it trigger immediately or only for future activations of the target?
Power Bomb will trigger upon thenextactivation of the targeted power-

I don't understand "do not interact"; I consider the fact that they affect the same stat interacting. In the above example, would my defense be 34 or 36?In post 32, Thurhame wrote:How does Crystalize combine with Yang Essence? i.e. I spend 20 on defense and 20 on Crystalize for +4 while holding Yang Essence; what is my defense?
Crystallize and Yang Essence do not interact.
Thank you for clarifying. Your defense would be 34, as the bonus defense gained by Crystallize is not increased by Yang Essence.Last edited by Caycedo on Tue Jun 03, 2014 10:49 am, edited 1 time in total.-

It would be nice if this was added to their descriptions. For example,In post 29, Save The Dragons wrote:Imagine powers like All In as a potion. When the player has drank (read: activated) the power, Fake Gold cannot switch the power as it has already been consumed.
Fixed.-

Question about Batman Captions: What is a "set of damage"?
For example, say SomeGuy (energy 100) gets hit by three attacks of 20, 30, and 50. He uses his defense of 20 to block the first attack, leaving 80 damage incoming.
Batman wishes to increase the damage to SomeGuy as much as possible. How many times can he use his Batman Captions ability against SomeGuy: 1, 2, or 3 times?
Also, is Batman Captions an activated power, since it says "may"?-

Dear Friends,
This post will be made pretty, and will have flavor text added, as soon as I am able to access a computer for a longer amount of time. I just wanted to get the results posted so that the game can get moving. Also, note that the front page has been updated to reflect the powers and energy totals of each player.
To confirm that you have seen the results of the auction, please send me a message containing a brief (2-3 sentence) history of your character, and why he/she might have come to the Arena, as well as the name you have adopted for yourself.

Alright since I have both powers I'd need to ask, will All In nullify this death condition then?In post 22, Blackberry wrote: Also, how does Boycott/Imagine Breaker work with Antimatter Body? If I have Antimatter Body and someone uses Boycott/Imagine Breaker, then do I go back to losing energy when damaged that round and my death condition goes back to reaching 0?
Boycott/Imagine Breaker do not nullify Antimatter Body, as it is a passive ability.
Yeah, looking at it All In would discard Antimatter body, meaning that your energy would go back down upon attack then.-

Dear Players,
Thank you for your patience and understanding. I have been having some computer difficulties, and, having only recently recovered my game notes from my computer, I am having to do all the of my work from my phone, which, as you may realize, is quite time consuming.
That being said, the game will be officially beginning this evening!
Stay tuned!
One additional note: I would like for this game to be as flavorful as possible, as I feel it enhances the over-all experience. While I will certainly take on my responsibilities in making this a reality when it comes to writing (hopefully) engaging scenes, please feel free to get into your character when it comes to your interactions with other players.
In this same vein, if there is a particular way you would like to perform the actions you articulate in the Allocation Phase, please say so in your PM, so that I can integrate it into the Resolution scene.
For your reading pleasure, here are the character descriptions of your fellow players:
Spoiler:
Cheers!-

Chapter 2: A Hare-o-wing Start!
As you lock in your choices, your heads-up display flickers out, and for a moment you gaze out at the figures standing on the roofs of the dilapidated buildings off in the distance. Could you really bring yourself to kill? The cold realization that, if you want things to go your way, all of these people will have to die one way or the other...
Your musings are interrupted as you notice a drone buzz down from the Arena ceiling high above. It's coming right towards you! Of course you've seen this countless times before, but you can't help but squirm as it alights on your shoulders, and its wicked needle pierces your neck, injecting who knows what into your body.
You feel it. The drone's buzzing seems muted as you feel the changes shuddering through your body. You can see your competitors writhing, but there is no time to waste feeling uncomfortable. You are armed now. You are ready.
A siren wails as the Prince's smirking froggy face illuminates the dome above you.
"I hope you enjoy your presents, friends! You've been just delightful, and I thought, 'Wouldn't this party be so much more fun if I invited one of my very best friends?'"
The ground begins to rumble, and a mottled, mangy pair of ears bursts through the roof of one of the buildings near the center of the Arena.
"That's Peanut! He's my favorite creation, and I truly hope you all have great fun with him. Can I confess something? I've been a very bad master, and I've not fed him for several weeks now. I imagine he's quite irritable.
Anyways, let's begin!"
The lights flash, the countdown begins, and you see Peanut munching his way through the roof. He looks hungry. Things just got a bit more complicated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to fielding attacks from your competitors, all players will face potential assault from Peanut, the Giant Hungry Rabbit. During the Allocation Phase, you may spend energy to distract Peanut;the players that spend the most energy and the least energy respectively will receive a very special visit from Peanut.-
