Re: And That is.....
Quote: what was Umaro's vote record in RT1?
I think it was only slightly higher. 56, wasn't it?
But I think it's safe to say we now hold the team record for most A-Votes received.

Re: And That is.....
Sorry I missed nearly that entire round, guys. I had a real nice post going last night, and then my Internet connection decided to die. Oh well, hopefully Round 4'll treat me better. Congrats to everyone who's moving on.

Weeee! 14 hours shifts are fun!
Wow, missed the entire round :P I might as well finish up the story.

"How am I supposed to drink in this thing!" Conker yelled as he pulled off his mechanic face mask. The armored squirrel fiercely grabbed another beer, watching outside the 200th story window of the Artemus Mall. He watched as buildings exploded, armored suits flew, and random gunfire that lit the sky.
"I better get in on this. The round will be over soon." Conker found he couldn't stand up.
"What the? Computer, please explain what the f#$# happened to my legs?"
You are unable to operate heavy machinery while intoxicated. You blew a .6. Would you like a Cab-Bot to take you home?
"ONLY .6? The hell with that! Hey bartender! I'll have a 'Mega Man', please." Conker was given a short blue drink from a robotic waiter.
"Shall I add that to your tab sir?" asked the robot.
"Yeah, you know I'm good for it mate! Cheers!"
I'm good for it alright. When this round is over I'll be GONE. Thanks for the free drinks! Suckers...
Conker continued to watch the fight, feeling relaxed for the first time this tournament. He lit a cigar, and propped his red furred arms behind his head.
"Oh yeah, I'm gonna get tanked tonight!"

If I remember correctly...
52 A-votes, 8 R-votes, 44 points total.
Our team got a few R-votes this round(emphasis on few ), So I guess my record's topped... by me, and my team.
So now, I hold the highest indivual damage record, and share the highest all-time damage record with Switchblade and Simplistic Hero. Add in my record for most damage sent by one person(20 A-votes onto Exeter. RT1, Round 3.), and I'm a regular "Damage King".
I like the sound of that title....
Hey Krizak, what was our team's exact score for Round 3(Pwease). I'd like to know what the new record is exactly.

Re: If I remember correctly...
Damn, I forgot about the private votes.
*sigh*
Oh well, I'm happy I made it this far. I just hope that Bugen, Dry, or my team gets brought back.
Bugen has been active the entire tournament
Kuja took a break for one round.
And my team took a break for one round (the first.)
Dry took a break on the (1st also.)
I wonder what the the resurection criteria will be.

Why, thank you. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who would like to see my character get resurrected. Best of luck to you too.

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Three - Time To Buckle Do
Actually Terra, I don't think anyone voted against us privately. Those were all public. I recounted and got exactly what Krizak did. It was the private healing for the Thrill Seekers and the 2 +12 A-Votes dealt to our team that got us. (1 A-Vote to each of us, then 1 Head Shot to each of us; the 1 A-Vote to each of us, then 1 Deathblow to each of us {damn you SH})

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Three - Time To Buckle Do
First time I counted this was what I got
Holy Redemption
Golbez: 12
Strago: 8
Agrias: -1
Thrill Seekers
Ryo: 28
Shadow: 6
Lise: -6
second time I got this
Holy Redemption
Golbez: 12
Strago: 16
Agrias: -1
Thrill Seekers
Ryo: 20
Shadow: 6
Lise: -6
So I don't know how I misses 8 votes for Strago the first time, unless someone went back and edited their votes.
The same goes for Ryo. If you notice, I was off by 8 votes for both of them. Someone(s) may have switched their votes so the Thrill Seekers wouldn't get eliminated.

Something's not right here.....
 Redemption comes at what cost?

FEAR ME!!!

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Three - Time To Buckle Do
Because I'm really bored, and because I only have tomorrow time before I leave to a week-long trip - I hadn't expected there to be pauses between rounds, like there are now, and so, I'll continue writing Yamazaki's story in the city. Sure, it's unofficial because the round's already ended, but what the heck - I'll have to squeeze in all the character development I can, so I can look back to this RT and think that I did at least a semi-decent job.
-----
Yamazaki walked down the streets of the city, looking around with mild interest. It was a war-torn, pitiful city. Clearly, people had to be suffering. Yamazaki had seen much suffering and much pain in his life, and been victim to it himself. The pain of wounds, the pain losing his comrades and friends, the pain of love... and most of all, the pain from having to kill others. He had grown to forget that pain, and only in his deepest dreams, he could remember the feeling of having first slain a man with his sword. It no longer mattered.
Men and women ran around the streets to the direction Yamazaki was walking. Were they running away from something? No matter. Yamazaki continued with his low pace, uninterested in such trivial matters. The sufferings of a people of a foreign city meant nothing to him. He could, perhaps, feel some sympathy for them, but it wasn't his concern.
"You! Who are you!?" he heard a voice from behind. Ignoring it, he simply continued walking. Suddenly, he felt a shock of a hail of bullet hitting his armour. But a short amount of rounds could do no harm to his well-crafted suit, and slowly, he turned around, savouring the taste of terror on the faces of his opponents as they realized that he was unharmed.
"You want to fight me?" Yamazaki's voice was calm, perhaps bearing a hint of mockery. He raised the gigantic above his head,
Army uniforms. So, they belong to this country’s armed forces... not that it matters to me.
The first of the troops, the leader, opened fire, while the others stood back. That was a mistake Yamazaki was not afraid to abuse. Raising the tachi to deflect the bullets, he ran forwards. He slashed with his blade, and the captain was cut in half, his blood and guts splattering all around the street from the force of Yamazaki's slash. The others finally began to fire frantically at their attacker, but Yamazaki's speed caught them by surprise. Leaping high into the air with the power of his enhanced armor suit, he came down in the middle of his enemies, striking with the tachi in a mighty up-down slash. Taking advantage of the panic of his opponents, Yamazaki proceeded to strike them down one by one.
The remaining warriors from the attack fled and regrouped a bit further. They turned, and began firing again with high-explosive bullets. Pieces of the street and the surrounding buildings flew into the air, as Yamazaki ducked for cover. As more debris fell, and a cloud of mist rose to the air, the firing stopped for a moment. Clearly they thought he had to be dead.
The first rule of combat - never underestimate your opponent...
Yamazaki leaped again, this time on top of a five-floor building. The soldiers began to fire at him, this time using grenade launchers as well. Yamazaki leaped over the street as a grenade blew the roof of the building in half. The soldiers tried to follow his movement, but Yamazaki, being higher than the soldiers, had an immediate advantage, and soon, he was again flying towards them from the heights, cutting them. In a frenzy of screams of death and blood, Yamazaki killed his opponents, until only one remained.
Yamazaki stood tall, unharmed, and seemingly inhumanly powerful. From behind the helmet, his cold, sharp eyes and the wrinkles of his intense hatred could be seen clearly. His mouth was a straight line, emotionless and completely cold. The face of a perfect killer.
His final foe stumbled backwards, completely forgetting the gun he had held so bravely moments earlier. "Please..." he whimpered, "Please don't kill me..." His face was full of terror and anguish, as he looked in terror at the emotionless, icy visage of his opponent.
"Die." Yamazaki said simply, and slashed his sword, cutting the man's head in half.
The battlefield was devastated, but the winner was clear. Yamazaki stood alone, surrounded by over two dozen corpses. The fronts of the building around them were completely broken, several had been completely wrecked, one completely collapsed. In the rubble, there were probably more dead. Yamazaki looked emotionlessly at the destruction.
As the collapsing of the buildings finally stopped, only a single sound could be heard.
A scream.
Yes, a scream. A scream of a child.
Yamazaki walked towards the source of the sound through the rubble and the corpses.
It was indeed a child, the first child he had seen here. He had no armour, merely normal clothes. Pinned under a construction bar that had fallen from one of the buildings damaged in the fight, he was completely trapped, and most likely dying. He screamed in terror, screamed in pain. Yamazaki was not sure which. He looked at the child for a moment. The scream began to get in his nerves.
What a pitiful, worthless being.
Without a hint of remorse, he pushed the sword deep into the body of the child. There was no sound of scream, only the empty quiet of the battlefield. The sounds of screams had irritated his ears, and he welcomed this beautiful quiet. Suddenly, more people began to stumble out of the broken buildings. Yamazaki watched their trotting around with contempt.
Why do they do what they do? Why don't they realize that their lives are meaningless?
Another scream, this time one of sorrow. Yamazaki cringed at the sound, and suddenly, raised his sword and cleaved off the head of the closest man. The scream ended as his sword came down, the head rolled down the street, bouncing rhythmically.
More screams.
All these people were meaningless. They meant absolutely nothing to him. He ran forwards, feeling absolutely nothing as he stroke again and again, human blood soaking the ground and dirtying his armor. He slashed again, until finally, a complete peace and quiet surrounded him. Stepping through the pool of human blood, Yamazaki looked at the place where he had come.
It was a cathedral, tall and beautiful. It had two tall towers, and the entire building was richly decorated with statues. It shone golden in the sunlight, making it even more marvellous than otherwise. It was, perhaps, the only building he had seen so far that did not show signs of damage from the war. Perhaps these people held something to be holy, after all.
The angels and devils pictured in the wall reminded him of many stories he had heard before. The story of Lucifer, the greatest and most beautiful of them all, fallen out of grace... becoming Satan, the source of all evil. Arch-Angel Michael, his brother, less powerful, but more true in spirit, incapable of being tainted like his brother. The story had a clear message...
Power brings chaos to the heart. And the stronger a man becomes, the more his heart will be clouded by it.
Yamazaki thought this for a moment. Was it truly so that the truly strong could never achieve the greatness of the spirit of the weak?
Laughable. Just watch these dirty, pathetic people. They are weak, and does it make their spirit any greater? Ridiculous. The strong are the strong and the weak are the weak... and the weak will be opressed by the strong. There is no strength of the heart or other such nonsense. It's all just about being strong, in mind or in body.
The bell of the church began to rang. Another sound to disturb his peace! Yamazaki turned and walked straight in, breaking the doors of the cathedral as he entered.
The inside of the church was dark and quiet, only the sound of the bell could be heard. Yamazaki could feel the fine smell of candles in the air. Beautiful pictures hung from the walls, and several large and small statues were scattered around the church in beautiful formations. Yamazaki walked through it coldly and surely.
"What - who are you-" the priest started. He did not have time to finish, as Yamazaki slashed him into pieces. The other visitors of the church began to scream. Why did humans have to scream before they died? It was so irritating, so weak, so pathetic. It started to get on his nerves. Slashing again and again until they were all dead, until piles of dead and puddles of blood filled the sanctity of the inside of the church.
The bell had stopped, too, as the bellringer had come down, only to be slain in Yamazaki’s hands.
Yamazaki had not said a word during this meaningless slaughter he had started, but now, looking at the piles of corpses inside the cathedral, his silence broke. Yamazaki finally laughed. His laughter was loud, manical and terrible.
He had broken against all of the sacred laws that had held his swords at bay before. He had broken against the honour of the samurai class, the code of bushido. He had broken against friendship and against love. And it didn't matter a thing.
Yamazaki laughed, spinning around, cutting a statue, tearing down a painting, leaping up to strike down a chandelier. As he came down, he ran around the church, destroying it as he could, unstoppable in his frenzy. Finally he had found his meaning in the lack of meaning of the entire universe. Nothing really mattered. He could do whatever he wanted as long as he had the power to do so. When he ran out of power, it was the end. That was all there was. Power. And death.
He looked mockingly at the once beautiful, bronze statue of a devil and its slayer, now covered by the blood of a man that had been hiding underneath it as Yamazaki came for him. Yamazaki watched in the seductively beautiful eyes of the devil. It seemed to him like the devil was urging him on. Yamazaki looked at the warrior above it, and in one instant, he saw the mysterious swordsman he had met earlier in its visage. The one warrior he had been unable to defeat. The man with the silver sword...
Ramirez...
A perverse smile came to Yamazaki’s lips, as he looked at the devil again.
Yes, I am a devil. But I am a different kind of devil than this one that had been trampled to the ground. I am strong. I am undefeatable. And I will rule Hell itself with an iron fist one day.
Smiling coldly, he raised his sword, and in one, powerful strike, he slashed both, the slayer of the devil and the devil itself, in two, from top to bottom, the perfect face perversely halved from the middle.
Yamazaki laughed again, his laugh filling the bloody emptiness of the cathedral. And then he ran, slashing the pillars that held the mighty roof, felling each with his powerful strikes. As he felt the cathedral crumble, he only laughed, laughing so hard that the sound went even over the thunderous noise of the crumbling building. The laugh only died as the cathedral was destroyed, the proud towers fallen, and the sound of the bell silenced forever.

Curley, man, the reason you got hit with so many votes in RT1 is because you pumped poor Edge full of drano. These people love me and wanted to avenge my death. Haven't you realized that yet?
