My apologies if there is or has recently been a thread like this, I’ve run it through the search engine, but can’t find it.
OK, pardners, git ready fur the biggest durned gunfight y’ever did see.{/cowboy accent}
This is a game. First, post in the thread to sign up, then, later (probably Monday or Tuesday night) I will close down the entries and have everyone send me their info. Basically, it works like this (yes, I got it from Greylabyrinth.com): You will all sign up, then when I post and close down the entries, you will each send me:
Your shooting skill: In percentage (20%-80%).
Your defense value: In percentage (20%-80%).
The above percentages MUST add to 100% and NEITHER may be above 80%. These will not be revealed to anyone. These percentages do not change for the entire game! So choose wisely.
The way it works is, your defense value represents the percentage of times you would live against someone who shoots 50%. [<defense value> - <shooting skill> + 50 = chance of survival] note: chance of survival will never drop below 1% or above 99%.
For each round, you will then send me your target out of the people who have signed up. I will then work out who dies and who goes on to the next round. The targets will not be revealed, except for who killed whom. We will continue until we have one hombre standing. Good luck.
Oh, by the way, you can all send me your shooting skill and defense value anytime. Put: “SHOOTOUT: <username>” in the subject line. The address is garfield226@seductive.com
Wait until I close the entries to send your round one target, you never know who could jump in at the last second!
Can I just stand off to the side and use my Super Soaker 279GTNKJB? I’m not very good at shooting things, since I’m not a violent person to begin with.
Or maybe I’ll just be the luscious wench/barmaid and watch in the doorway with a vibrant green revealing dress, a plume in my hair, holding a frilly hanky in my hand and, with trembling lips, yelling, “OH! Don’t you boys hert yerselves!” and frantically growing faint and fanning myself.
Where the hell’s Gunslinger, anyways?
Yeah, count me in. I’ll be the portly shopkeeper that the villians push around, but who has a shotgun under the counter if he can just reach it in time…
OK, I’m closing off the entries. I currently have these people’s info: [ul]
[li]Fairy Princess Kitty[/li][li]Mega the Roo[/li][li]Kat[/li][li]lurkernomore[/li][li]kellibelli[/li][li]Sn-Man[/li][li]Sledman[/li][/ul]These people may go ahead and send me their first round targets.
In addition to those, I have, signed up:[ul]
[li]Cash Tag (?)[/li][li]Bubba Ray[/li][li]TopazAntares[/li][li]Crunchy Frog[/li][li]Black Knight[/li][li]John Corrado[/li][/ul]Those of you who haven’t sent me your percentages will have a temporary defense percentage randomly selected for you until I get some info. You will not shoot until you send me your info. If I don’t have your info by the end of round two, you will be eliminated. You should send me your info along with your round one target ASAP.
OK, now, to clear up some things that may not have been clearly explained. You only shoot at the person you select and name in your email to me. They DO NOT shoot back at you UNLESS they also select your name. It is one big free-for-all (I should charge admission. . .is that illegal? Charging admission to a free-for-all?). The last poster standing wins. Good luck. You MUST send me your targets by tomorrow evening as I will post the results tomorrow night, and begin round two then as well.
