Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Actually I reread the rules. The deflection option looked strange to me late last night.

So we can start nuking any time?

Are we coordinating Jamski?

Coordinating with two Mafias Doc?
Better watch out carefully. One of them might strike you in the back.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

quote:
Deflectin' nukes : Instead of lauching two nukes, you can deflect 50% of the nukes that were aimed at you, regardless of thier target, to the player of your choice. i.e. nukes 1,3,5,7 are deflected while nukes 2,4,6,8 will hit the cities. If your are targeted by 3 nukes, one will hit, and 2 will be "bounced" for example. You must say who the nukes will be deflected to when you post. If the target is also deflecting then the nukes are "bounced" onwards, but any one nuke is only blocked once by each player.


Now I re-read it, there's something I'm not 100% sure about

When deflecting, you have to chose which players nukes you want to deflect, right?
And to which player they're deflected to, right?

If the first one fits, then it's not nuke 1 - 3 - 5 that is deflected, but only the first one, since each player only shoots a max of two nukes anyway

Well I read it now as 50% of the total aimed at you in that turn. But it shouldn't be given as 50%, since it could be anything from 100% (1 from 1) to 50% in the limit with the number of nukes sent being very high. Right?

You mean as 50% of all nukes aimed at him/her get deflected to some other player?

Tired of ads?

Ah hold on...........if it must always be an even number of nukes sent at you then 50% is correct. So the player just says "deflect to Jamski", then 50% of the even number of nukes get sent to Jamski and 50% hit the player.

Yeah that sounds better.

"50% of the even numbers"

Don't you mean all the even numbers (Which is 50% of all nukes)?

Poorly worded on my part. The 50% of the total that are even numbered nukes get deflected, whereas the remaining 50% hits the player. I think.

That bothers me. I was about to say I'll join you, (though not a communist - an evil regime, nonetheless, so I qualify), but then I realized only very few people will be against you. That's no fun fo course.

I PM'ed my orders to ADG. Note, however, that I did not target anyone on the alliance, so please don't nuke me to hell yet.

Yep, except its the ODD numbers (1,3,5...) that get deflected

The deflections are from ALL the people that try to nuke you, and are deflected to ONE person you choose. All the odd numbered nukes are deflected.

Example :

Player A deflects in direction player B
Player B nukes player A twice
Player C nukes player A once and player B once.

3 nukes hit player A, of which 2 are deflected to player B and one hits the target. Player A loses 1 city.
1 (from player C) + 2 (deflected from player A) = 3 nukes hit player B, who loses 3 cities and is dead

Results after one round :

Player A (2 cities remaining)
Player B (DEAD)
Player C (3 cities remaining)

Is that clear?

The fun starts when player X deflects 5 nukes to player Y, who then deflects 3 nukes to player Z, who then deflects 2 nukes back to player X, who has already deflected and dies

Don't worry, ADG will sort out the results (I hope)

Just to make clear again. Deflection works against ALL the people who try to nuke you, and deflects to ONE person specified in advance.

Maybe I should change my orders and nuke this ljcvetko character instead... I said: I didn't target any of you mad alli... err, red alliance members.

But go ahead. Nuke me. Then nuke Azazel and Spaced and the game will be over before this thread reaches 100 posts...

Ok, that makes it clear...

Just one thing is still unclear (But doesn't make any gameplay changes anyway):
Why is it player C's nuke hits Player A...
Did you count them as in Player B nuke 1 = First nuke, Player C nuke 1 = second nuke, Player B nuke 2 = third nuke?

Not that it matters anyway, since a hit is a hit... but it matters on the story telling

What do you mean, bluffing? I am honestly saying that I am just bitter that I won't last more than one round. And from what you say, that's true. Too bad, I can't respawn as a spirit in this one.

I think there is still time. Just supply your cities (to be nuked away ) and send PM with your move to ADG

There should always be one space left for Nuclear Master in Nuclear War game.
