What are these pre-determined actions? Are they defaults, or do they have to be followed?

Could you elaborate a bit on that? I'm not sure what pre-determined actions you're talking about.

[izakthegoomba]

Oh, wait, I think you're editing actions into the previous update as they're posted? I'm not reading this thread with

every

new post, so it looked like some actions were already written in.

Correct - the turn resolutions are posted with "None so far." next to each player's name, and their actions are edited to replace this text when posted. Sorry about the confusion.

[izakthegoomba]

No problem, it's my fault really.

[theplague42]

Sorry, I was out of town for a couple days and neglected to tell anyone. It's late now so I'll write up the resolutions tomorrow. They'll be done either tomorrow or Friday,

Turn 77 Resolution

jmj3000: 5-1=4

jmj3000 lies quietly and slows his breathing. The aliens see his motionless body and move forward cautiously. They kick his gun away from him and examine him. One of them barks an order and two others pick up jmj3000 by his arms and start to drag him down the street. jmj3000 carefully cracks open an eye and looks ahead. He sees a large metal door at the foot of a tower that reaches up along with several others to a structure over the roofs of even the tallest buildings in the city. The lead aliens motions to the guards and the door opens. jmj3000 is taken inside to a wide, bare room with a single door at one end. Seconds later, the aliens enter the doorway which leads to an elevator of sorts.

CSL: 1-1=0

CSL begins to shuffle away as quickly as she can, but pain shoots through her injured leg and she spasms and cries out.

The mecha pilot pauses and turns off the targeting laser. It instead raises one arm to aim with one of its guns, and a moment later a spray of bullets perforates CSL's body.

CSL has died.

theamatuer: 3

JDGA: 1

Katty Bard: 4

Introductions out of the way, the newly-formed trio begins to scour the apartment for weapons before the aliens arrive. Katty Bard manages to find a large Bowie knife with a matching scabbard. theamatuer continues to search the kitchen and finds another small knife but nothing else. A couple rooms over, JDGA is combing through a closet when several large boxes fall off of a shelf and knock him to the ground. He is not seriously hurt but yelps in pain nonetheless. Katty Bard and theamatuer run to the room to see what's wrong, heedless of what is going on outside the apartment.

In the hallway, the three aliens hear JDGA's cry of pain and stack up on the doorway, readying for an assault on the apartment.

Mist7676: 1

Mist7676 reaches for her pistol, intending to shoot the alien in the back. She accidentally fumbles it; the gun falls to the pavement and goes off, the bullet grazing her leg. The injury is not serious, but the alien (apparently hearing the gun's report) starts to move the machine wildly, trying to find the source of the noise.

Spoiler: Turn 78 Actions

1. jmj3000: CONTINUE PLAYING DEAD.

2. theamatuer: booby trap door with multiple kitchen knives.

3. JDGA: Get up and try harder (to find a weapon)

4. Katty Bard: Look for alternate exit from apartment.

5. Mist7676: Pick up the gun and aim for the alien again.

How many aliens are in the elevator with me?

[Katty Bard]

Look for alternate exit from apartment

[theplague42]

How many aliens are in the elevator with me?

Four. The commander-looking one, the two holding you, plus one more. As usual, subject to Packbat's veto.

Four sounds about right to me. The elevator, I believe (subject to theplague42's veto), is around the size of a freight elevator, so it's not particularly crowded or open.

I had a dream last night when I rolled a 3 here but you guys killed me off anyway. <_<
Please don't do that to me.

The current norm is that deaths generally result from either doing something

very

dumb or from multiple failed rolls in a row. Does that answer your question?

[jmj3000]

CONTINUE PLAYING DEAD

Too many to try and surprise.
