Alright Raptor, bring it!

For those unfamiliar with GI Joe online TCG games, we start with a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to determine who goes first.

Sp? Gigantic Sp! Alouette, like our CFL team.

Alouette is about a man starving in the mountains. He's apologizing to an alouette as he plucks its feathers off and prepares to eat it.

No spoiler tags, but white fonts works just as well.

We'll have to play tomorrow, I'm logging off for the day.

Sorry man, I'm only going to be able to do evening posts, I'm really busy at work, and have a crappy internet connection there anyway.

You didn't post your RPS... But thank you for the song. I'll feel terrrible singing it to the kid now though.

I'll check on this tomorrow, but I have my Joe deck ready.

Rock, baby. Rock.

This is going to be a long game. I'll be posting during the day, you in the evening...

It'll be a long game, but it's not a race. The first game in months should be savored.

Did I mention that I'm playing a Flint/APC deck? ;-) (I'm not, just kidding)

Looks like your stone smashes my choppers.  :(

Going first or second? (And given that going second is the way of things, I'll flip my 15 points when I get home and post tonight.)

Yo JOE!

Smashy-smashy!

You got first. I'll wait to see your set-up before flipping mine. Gotta strategize and all.

Ok, not a bad setup, but not great either. My only heavy hitter is Duke with 9 (with lowlight's backup) I have 2 air assaults with barrel roll and wild bill manning them, and faces in the front row, being supported by hacker for a whopping 6 power...

This deck is all about aircraft. with 4 skystrikers in the deck, you'd think I might get one of em. :roll:

My boosts are: (for everyone else)

 Short Fuze 5R/7W/5B and Greenshirt communications at 7R/9W/7B

Ok scramble, what kind of power are you packing...

Dude, you still playing?

Were you mortally offended by my atrocious spelling of Alouette or just buried under 30 cm of snow?

Sorry about the wait. I tend to surf between shifts at work. Friday was a snow day, then there was the weekend, and yesterday the heater wasn't working in half the school so I was kicked out of my warm spot in the library.

/ Here are the boosts /
Raptor's gonna think I'm using Tank Girl's deck. I drew two HISS tanks, each 8/5/5 (Grey/Purple/Yellow). I swear this is my own Cobra grey deck.

Who do you like in Round 1, Raps?

Post by: Raptor on December 21, 2005, 09:03:47 AM
Can you remind me what holo destro does again? I don't have him...

Ok, round one Duke is going after your Mega Armored Bat. No sense taking on the rest of those losers, that's what rifles are for. Duke starts his fistfight with a robot with a boost of:

Boost: Short Fuze 5R/7W/5B for a total attack of 16

YO JOE!

Holo Destro is p8. In a Firefight, any single * I flip count as **.

Mega-Armoured BAT is g5
He's boosted by a nice, big HISS. +8, making him a 13

Will Duke die?
Title: Raptor, gentil Raptor. Raptor, je te plumer
Post by: Scramble on December 21, 2005, 11:16:54 AM
Not even close! The BAT is smashed, and Cobra Commander moves up. Remember, when this CC dies, I get to remove a soldier from your front rank.

Cobra Commander is going to try to take down Barrel Roll's Air Assault.

CC is g5
How can a non-combat officer take out a glider? With another HISS! He gets a +g8 for a totla of 13

Whatcha got?
Title: Raptor, gentil Raptor. Raptor, je te plumer
Post by: Raptor on December 21, 2005, 03:46:15 PM
I defend with Greenshirt communications at 7R/9W/7B for a total of 13. Not much better I can do. The sad thing is that even if I win, I lose. Also I am about to get destroyed by destro.

Ok, let's see how this goes...

DRAW!!!!

The best possible thing I could hope for, in my humble opinion. I'll draw firefight when I get home. ;-)

-  :chicken:
Title: Raptor, gentil Raptor. Raptor, je te plumer
Post by: Raptor on December 21, 2005, 07:49:38 PM
My firefight:

2 X 3
1 X 2
2 X Missile
2 X Direct Hit
1 X 1

Crappy, but at least I can take out Destro before his ability goes off, and I'll hit the Bat in front of him too. I use the two 3 hits and the one 2 hit on Destro (thanks to Barrel Roll and Lowlight) and the rest I use to waste yout Bat.

I wish I could have gotten the CGI too, but not gonna happen.

This is gonna hurt.

My next boost (might as well, so I can play from work tomorrow): Skystriker - where was it when I needed it - 5R/7W/5B and Greenshirt Communications 7R/9W/7B

Post by: Scramble on December 22, 2005, 10:56:39 AM
I wouldn't have exploded the Bat before the firefight. Even with three long range, I didn't expect you to take out Destro.

Well then, I get seven firefight cards.

3 x ***
3 x **
1x*

Losing Destro wasn't such a blow afterall. Wait, scratch that. If I had that extra hit I could have killed both Air Assaults. Instead it's 3x *** on Duke, the rest on Barrel Roll's Air Assault.

And finally, / my boosts /
CGI, +4 grey, and Rock Viper, +4 grey. Jeepers.

Post by: Scramble on December 22, 2005, 10:57:56 AM
Just a reminder, my front line is CGI, CG Driver, and CC (taped). Tomax is behind the CGI, and a regular CG is behing the Driver.

Post by: Raptor on December 22, 2005, 03:30:26 PM
Lowlight is going after your 8 power CG Immortal - It's not like I have anything better to take him out later.  

My boost is:  Greenshirt Communications 7R/9W/7B

This is as good as it gets for me, if I lose this one, it's gonna take a headshot to get rid of him.

Post by: Raptor on December 22, 2005, 03:33:52 PM
I'm realizing now that I should have smoked that CGI with Duke in the first round.  I had a high boost, and I wasted it because duke, for all his bravado, is a girly man afraid of death.

Just a note for the public at home watching.

Ok, this game is called on account of the scrambleless nature of the last few weeks, and the fact that I need my desk back.

Also I was very likely to lose. :shifty:

We can pick up with a fresh game in the new year.

Charles,

Sorry about the drop off. I haven't managed to log onto the internet in over a week. And surprisingly, it didn't kill me.

Ha, tonight I retooled my skystriker deck, and built a Joe Canuck deck and the newest incarnation of Greenshirt Rush.

So, want to play again?
