Amalgamated Video Game Battle was a game designed and hosted by Coolkid based on own idea.
It began on December 4, 2014 and ended in a Mob win in N6 (Dec 17).
Game Mechanics[]
Rules[]
This game starts out with 4 factions, each with 4 players. In the true spirit of video games, one death does not end the game, as each player starts out with 3 lives. If all your lives are depleted, Game Over.
Each BTSC starts out with 3 out of the 4 faction members. The fourth members are placed in a player pool of "Secret Unlockable Characters", and any night, a majority vote of living members of a BTSC can recruit one player of the SUC pool into the BTSC. They can also be dismissed by majority vote. It is not announced when a player is recruited, and one player can be recruited into multiple BTSC's at the same time, but a BTSC may only have one SUC in it at any time. SUC's cannot be faction spied.
Every night, each player may use one offensive ability and one defensive ability. Those players in BTSC's may also each use one BTSC ability. Any player may use any BTSC ability on any night, but a BTSC ability may only be used by one player in the BTSC on any night.
There are also four ODTG BTSC abilities, which require a unanimous vote of all living non-SUC players in the btsc to use. Votes may be posted in the btsc or sent via PM, and may nominate a non-SUC player to control the use of the ability.
Every day, a lynch vote will be made, but it will different than a normal lynch. If a player receives >1/3 of the available votes, he/she will lose 1 life. If a player receives >2/3 of the available votes, he/she will lose 2 lives. If a player receives all of the available votes (which includes his/her own, so it is not very likely), he/she will lose 3 lives.
Other rules:
If multiple players in a BTSC want to use the same ability, the main BTSC members will have priority over the SUC. The SUC may give permission for the a btsc he/she is in to power-play his/her actions whilst in the btsc via PM to the host, but may not power-play the other member's actions.
For all players, actions sent via PM to the host will have precedence over actions posted in the btsc.
All actions carried out by a SUC will appear to have been done by a Secret Unlockable Character in the night post as well as in the case of a lookout spy.
SUC's can use one BTSC ability in each of the BTSC's they are in.
If an SUC uses an offensive ability or if an SUC uses a BTSC ability from one btsc on a player in another btsc the SUC is in, one faction that the SUC is [i[not[/i] a member of will be revealed to the btsc that was acted upon.
When a non-SUC player loses a life in the lynch, he or she will have faction revealed. An SUC will only have his or her faction revealed in the lynch if his or her lives are depleted.

Host's Summary[]
Game Idea and Expectations[]
Game[]
There was quite a bit of confusion thoughout 
but all in all I am pleased with how this game turned out 
The Mob win was certainly a team effort. Slide-to-smile took on a leadership role in the btsc at the beginning and was consistent and played very well. Boq and yuiop both really stepped up later in the game, and were both critical parts of the team's success, particularly getting Slick to side with them. 
Aura and in particular Plasmid got their teams to strong starts, however, both died before I believe the game really got going 
CommonMan pulled a beautiful move with that double damage reflect that could have really turned the game if some unfortunate circumstances had not occurred.
Inawordyes came in extremely yet put in a great effort.
Deciding MVP was extremely difficult. Several members of the Mobs really shone, and they complimented each other well in their strengths.
However in the end I decided to give the award to the player who appeared to understand the game the best (of those whom lived long enough to make a really significant contribution ), and who was both a leader in the btsc and attempted to step up in the game thread as well when alliances were needed.
And so, without further ado, I am pleased to announce the MVP of this first Amalgamated Video Game Battle to be Redphantom, affectionately known to the Heroes as Redpanda.

Intro N1 D1 N2 D2 N3 D3 N4 D4 N5 D5 N6
| Intro |
|---|
|
Beside the cathedral, Jack of Blades used his manipulation of gravity to float and shoot out circling energy beams.
Jim Raynor barely leapt out of the path of an incoming beam in time to avoid it.
On the other side, Sheik performed a deft back-flip over the beam.
“Not bad,” Jim commented, cocking his pistol. Sheik gave a wordless nod before tossing several daggers at Jack. Jack deflected them with his energy shield and laughed. “Your weapons are useless against me. You sir are no Chickenchaser.” The laughter choked in his throat, however, as a putrid scent greeted his nose and he realised that an enormous shadow was looming over him. The Marlboro grinned at them.
Jack, Jim and Sheik exchanged glances, and promptly bolted in separate directions.
The Poe floated along peaceably between the trees whilst phasing in and out of transparency.
Illidan Stormrage, the Demon Hunter, chased after it. Frustrated at not being able to catch it, he activated his shadow form, which increased his movement speed.
Kos-mos, who was chasing after Illidan, observed this new development with her robotic senses and calculated the adjustment she would need to make to her own motion. She activated her overdrive, and proceeded.
Bringing up the rear of the chase was no other than the fabled Chickenchaser himself. Noting the precedents speed up, he used his ability to slow time to appear to rush forward.
The procession passed a clearing where another battle ensued. Diablo, the Lord of Terror sent out streams of flames outward along the ground.
Kerrigan ran out of their range, discarding the empty magazine of her revolver and equipping a new one.
Snake somersaulted between fiery streams. He crouched and reached for the knife in his belt.
“I am fear! You cannot defeat fear!” Diablo roared. The two humans who had seen great horrors in their lifetimes, one who had been a great horror, glared defiantly at the Lord of Terror. “Fear me!” Diablo roared louder. Abruptly looks of fear did indeed cross the faces of Snake and Kerrigan. Diablo leered. “That’s more like it.” However his mirth was interrupted by the awareness of a sound coming up behind him. “Derp...derp...derp…”
The Lord of Terror turned to face the Creeper and-
Several metres away on the ridge Sorceress Edea stood with her eyes closed, listening to the melody.
A metal ball rolled up besides Link and transformed into Samus. She too was taken by the peaceful melody.
Sounds of stomping and crunching through the forest that increased as the creature neared. threatened the serenity of the moment. The Pitlord broke out into the clearing, huffing and puffing with the fires of hell.
Edea held out a hand and crystals of ice erupted around the Pitlord, encasing it. All was once again serene, for now at least... |

Pi was in the forest, grinding for x-p on some mid-level mobs. The Poe and the Creeper, however, were disturbed by this persecution of their comrades and the Poe used its ability to lower Pi’s defences whilst the Creeper physically blew him up in that way of his. After he respawned, Pi decided he would have to be more vigilant in the future against such attacks. However, that did not help him when Link hit him with a magical lightning attack he had recently learned whilst riding by on his steed, Epona. Afterwards, Link found Slide-to-smile roaming around and decided to prevent him from using the ability gained from his party, or btsc as it was otherwise known. However, Slide was prepared and countered accordingly. A Secret Unlockable Character was hunting for an unique spawn that dropped a rare item, but instead found yuiop. Having spent the last hour setting up his/her hotkeys for the battle, rather than waste it, the SUC decided to vent his/her frustrations by physically attacking yuiop. Meanwhile Snake and Jack of Blades were hunting for Alexeyy, whom they found engaging in boss runs. Jack, being a boss himself, decided to stop Alexeyy’s offence and Snake tested his own recently acquired magical skills by attacking Alexeyy with balefire. Boq found himself astray from his party and was pleased to meet the acquaintance of the lovely Kerrigan, that is, until he realised, after she had gone that she had used her psy-ops powers to prevent him from fulfilling his role in the party’s planned actions. Plasmid believed himself to be most fortunate indeed as he found himself in the company of three ravishing beauties: the doleful Sorceress Edea, the mysterious Sheik, and the fiery Kerrigan. However, his perspective of his luck swiftly turned when Sorceress Edea attempted to stop his party action, Sheik attempted to cease his offence, and Kerrigan attempted to shoot him. Fortunately for him, he had come prepared to counter. Concurrently, another Secret Unlockable Character decided it may be in his or her best interesting to prevent Hachi from going on the offensive. Irked at having been thwarted once, Sorceress Edea came upon dd farming for materials. The powerful Sorceress cast a blizzard on him. Before dd had an opportunity to defend, Illidan Stormrage immolated him, destroying his defensive capability. Another Secret Unlockable Character chose to join in the fun and bound dd, negating his offensive capability. Redphantom was relieved to find himself left out of the frays that appeared to be springing up like turnips all around. However, he was celebrating too soon, as Kos-mos appeared before him in the moonlight and shot at him with her laser cannon. Redphantom managed to raise his protective shield just in time, albeit it left him exhausted as the rest. It was only the beginning, however. Every faction was on the move, and the coming days and nights promised only more excitement.

It appeared the excitement of the previous night sufficed to sate the characters. Some murmurs were heard, but none strong enough to take arms against the others. Spoiler for Lynch Results

Death had not appeared to be prevalent the night previous, however there had been many wounded, who hoped this night would afford them a chance to heal. For three, however, that would prove not the case. Redphantom hunted along the riverbank for a particular mob that the forums had indicated spawned there. Rather than finding the monster, however, he found Kos-mos. They engaged in a physical fight, each taking damage from the other. Jack of Blades felt bored as he wandered through the forest region. He found a Secret Unlockable character physically attacking Boquise, and thought it might be fun to join in. He thought it might be less fun if Boquise’s party joined in, hence Jack took measures to stop Boq’s party action. Meanwhile, another Secret Unlockable Character decided it would be in his or her best interest to keep yuiop from taking offensive action, and made it thus. Link and Kerrigan sought dee_tot, and found her mining for minerals. In the darkness, Link sent the fireball at her and Kerrigan sent a magical wave of energy, both of which hit the mark. However, dee_tot had woven a magical trap, and her attackers found themselves hurled into the air by the recoil. Finding himself near Plasmid, Link decided to offer a helpful hand and heal Plasmid’s wounds, an offer graciously accepted. Once again Plasmid felt himself lucky, and once again his gaiety was spoiled by Sheik attacking him with magic, this time joined by Illidan Stormrage. Having experience as a wizard lolcat, Plasmid returned as good as he got, but alas, it was not enough. His character did not respawn. A third Secret Unlockable Character was searching for the illusive Slide-to-smile, who was laying low whilst testing a new build. However, the SUC’s magical attack was able to find its target. Jim Raynor and Snake chose to double-team Segul, who had just finished trading in town. Just as soon as he stepped out of the town boundary, Jim tackled him. Segul mustered up the ability to defend himself from physical attack and came away unscrathed. Snake’s sneak magic attack Segul did not see coming, however, and before he realised it, he was finished. Slick traipsed along the path, basking in his good fortune so far as to not have drawn any fire. A beautiful woman appeared in front of him and he thought it providence. He was wrong. It was, rather, Sorceress Edea, who attempted to cool his jets with a blizzara. But Slick had made preparations previously to his passives, shelling him from the danger. As dawn approached, Aura was finishing her farming, having cleared near the entire region of mobs. She had received some excellent drops and the x-p had not been terrible either. Who knew, if this kept up, she may be able to reach level 99 in only two more months! She was about to log out when she noticed three blips on her mini-map. She considered letting it pass in favour of sleep, however the sliver remaining on her x-p bar proved too strong a temptress. Setting her hotkeys, she went over the hill and- The ambush sprung. Poe sealed her defences, and before she could react, Marlboro and Creeper hit her with magic and might and next thing she knew, a Game Over screen flashed before her. Spoiler for Action Summary
Goodbye plasmid, Aura, and Segul. Thank you for playing |

On his way through the forest, Snake came upon Boquise, who was looking rather ghastly. “Hey buddy, some help?” Boq asked and Snake obliged by tossing him a health potion before being on his way. He met with Jim Raynor, who had just come from infecting Slick’s party channel with a virus. The two heroes made their way together until they found Redphantom. They attacked him together with their magic and combat abilities, but Red was not going down without a fight, shooting rays of baelfire at his assailants. The fight was truly not fair, however Sorceress Edea appeared as Red’s saviour healing him with her magicks. Before he could thank her, however, she was off. She reconnoitered with Jack of Blades and together they went hunting Slick. However, they were not the only ones out for Slick’s blood it appeared. Marlboro, Creeper, and Poe were already agro-ed around the unfortunate player. Both Creeper and Jack used their powers to stop Slick’s offence while both Edea and Poe physically attacked. Slick however, had his defences set and took no damage. Marlboro’s magic attack was another story. It crushed through his defences and sent him back to the spawn point. Marlboro then made his way to block Pi from his party action and Creeper went along the same path Snake had, finding Boq as well, and helping his as well. Sheik attempted to spring a surprise magic attack on dd, who was fishing, but he had constructed a force shield around his fishing spot, negating it. One Secret Unlockable Character successfully attacked Yuiop with magic, another prevented Barc from taking offensive action, while yet another broke Alexeyy’s defences. Spoiler for Action Summary

Finally the players had had enough! Time to take action against those who were too fortunate. Boq had too many friends, it appeared, and Barc had not enough enemies. Time to remedy that. Spoiler for Lynch Results

Snake and Jim Raynor were together once more. Tonight they were hunting the elusive Redphantom. They found him breeding a rare species of wild panda. He was so besought with feeding a baby panda that he did not notice them. However, when Snake attempted to cut his party line and break his defences and Jim attacked him with physical force, his trap sprung, catching both his attackers. Another pair was on the prowl: Sorceress Edea and Jack of Blades. Jack had previously cut CommonMan’s party line and they were now in search of Boq, who they stumbled upon re-organizing his inventory. Edea quickly took down his defences whilst Jack slashed Boq with his blades, sending him to re-spawn. Pairs appeared to be popular tonight, as two Secret Unlockable Characters joined forces, attacking Barc with strength and magic. He did his best to fight back, but alas, in the end, it was Game Over for the mighty Barcallica. Yuiop was greeted with mixed luck, being healed by Poe only to be attacked by another Secret Unlockable Character soon after. Once again the mobs, Creeper, Marlboro, and Poe, banded together against their oppressors, this time choosing Pi. Poe rendered his defences inert whilst Creeper and Marlboro unleashed their magicks. In the end, there was no more Pi. Spoiler for Action Summary
Farewell, Barc, Pi, and dd. Valiantly played. |

Today the players chose to pick on dee. Holding her head high, she took it all in stride, a true lady to the end. Spoiler for Lynch Results

| Night 5 |

Snake found Alexeyy at the auction house, where he was occupied bidding for a divine blade. It was child’s play, really, for Snake to cut off his party line. Afterwards, Snake went in search of Slick. Unbeknownst to him, he was not the only one. A Secret Unlockable Character closed in on Slick from the other side and cast a restraining spell on him, preventing him from taking offensive action. Snake took the opportunity to cast his own magic spell, attacking Slick with forked lightning. Fortunately for Slick, however, the lovely Kos-mos appeared with her medical database and was able to treat his wounds. In the meantime, Boq, whose wounds had just been treated by Poe, found himself face to face with Jack of Blades, who had just treated the wounds of Redphantom. Jack summoned up all his power, lifting into the air, surrounded by a menacing red glow. He launched a super-powered gravity attack at Boq that exploded all the ground around him. When the dust cleared, however, Boq was found untouched, the mystic threads of mighty guard glimmering around him. CommonMan appeared to be the man of the midnight hour, as he found himself surrounded by Poe, Creeper, Marlboro and two Secret Unlockable Characters. Marlboro breathed magical poison onto him and as he coughed, attempted to cut his party line. CommonMan was too fast, however, and countered splendidly. Creeper attempted to down CommonMan’s defences, but he managed to gain the upper hand to take down Creeper’s defences instead. Poe and the two SUC’s teamed up to beat on CommonMan. Finding himself in a tight spot, CommonMan summoned up all his inner strength and fought back, giving twice as hard as he got. When he finally fell, he felt warm in the knowledge that he had at least taken his attackers with him. Spoiler for Action Summary
Slide, Yuiop, Common all died |

A Secret Unlockable Character met Slick on the battle field. The gourmand had won too much, and it was time to take him down. Slick only smiled, however, and returned to his cooking. The SUC bowed at the delectable smells from Slick’s pot before ending Slick’s last life. The smell of stew hung in the air. Tonight Kos-mos was on a mission. She was determined to take down Hachi, who she sensed evil in. Her circuity was fired up and she had removed the limiter, doubling her attack power. Hachi walked the earth, bold and brazen as could be, sojourning the path ahead. Upon sight of him, Kos-mos scanned the area to ensure his party was broken. Then Kos-mos aimed her laser cannon as his form and fired. The massive blast blew Hachi through a patch of trees, into a clearing where Marlboro and Creeper were squaring off against Inawordyes. As Hachi’s form dissipated to return to the spawn point, Creeper hopped towards IAWY and exploded, attempted to take down his defensive measure. IAWY deftly countered, and his wall remained in place. However, the wall was not resistant to magic attacks and the Marlboro, pumped up on its own poisons, became enraged and flailed his tentacles madly. IAWY was able to avoid them, but he realised too late that it was only a distraction. The magical poison infused the air by Marlboro’s spores were the true weapon, and he could but submit to it. As IAWY lay dying, Marboro and the healed Creeper came up around you. “You fought nobly, and strongly for coming so late into the game. It has been a mighty battle. You were a worthy opponent,” the player’s voices spoke in unison. IAWY smiled softly and closed his eyes. When he opened them he only saw GAME OVER flashing on the screen.
Thank you all for playing, it has been a fun albeit confusing ride |
