A new day is dawning, and the members are yearning for a fight. A fight for their staff member, and against the wrath of the other, corrupt staff. In the great plains of "Popular Forum Games" a battle such as this was waged, but confusion and disarray corrupted the field, and a sort of truce was formed, for they turned to dance battles to settle their differences. This cannot do. I call you, my fellow members, to rise up and defend the staff once and for all! Blood shall be shed, but that is a price that we must pay for the good of forum-kind and the glory of the staff. Onward, to victory!

Rules, Modified from my Mafia Game
#1. The platforms and obstacles scattered throughout the field are wooden structures/squares of varying sizes with ladders and sometimes ramps. You can introduce these when you interact with them during the game, but you must specify what the structure looks like in your post so the other player can follow. (Note: please do not just add a structure whenever you need it. This match needs a victor, and cannot be morphed to be set up in any player's favor.) Once a structure has been placed, it is permanent. Please space out structures as much as possible, and if I think you all are adding one too many, I have the power to ask you to reverse the post with the structure and nullify any following posts interacting with it. I will also periodically update the map in this post with the structures created, so please refer back here if you are confused.
#2. As I said in my last point, this match needs a victor, which will be chosen when all mods except one are defeated, along with their minions. When playing, please follow all known laws of logic, reaction time, and average agility. If you are attacked and cannot find a feasible way out of the situation, admit defeat and take the blow. You may attempt to save yourself by, for example, getting hit but blocking the blow with your arm instead of your face, but I might intervene and discount your save if it is too illogical. If you are unsure about a post, mention me at the end and I will make sure it isn't too far-fetched. :)
#3. Hand-to-hand combat is the encouraged way to fight, but you will be allowed one miscellaneous item (granted by me) to help you along. This can be anything from bouncy balls to a violin, and the more creative the usage of such items, the more likely I am to allow the move to be done. Attempting to distract a member by playing a shrill note on your violin to give you time to escape is both plausible and quite creative, and I may be more inclined to encourage certain members to take the blow if you make such actions.
#4. Please follow the forum rules and don't be gruesome in your posts. This is meant to be lighthearted. :)
#5. Have fun, and be creative! If all goes well there might be some surprises too. ;D

Joining Teams
Alright, the time is now to choose! In this version of the game, there is a limit of two supporters per staff member, meaning that there are only 12 spots to fill. The beginning period of this game will be comprised of choosing teams. Once every staff member has a full team, the battle can begin.
When choosing a team, make a post saying something along the lines of "I am going to support Rosie" in the color of the staff member you are choosing. Once you have chosen, please do not make any posts until the fighting starts unless you have a question. Once the game starts, you may post as much as you like and will be given your special item. You cannot switch staff members at any point during the game, so choose wisely!

Staff Actions
Until the supporters of a staff member are defeated, they will be in a small room surrounded by a force field. This room also contains a control panel at the front, where the staff can communicate with their team through a speakerphone and give small gifts to help them along. These gifts include an inflatable beach ball, an average first aid kit, and one day's worth of rations. Each gift can be given once by each team, but the team can hold onto it for as long as necessary. Again, don't forget to be creative! Once a staff member's team is defeated, the force-field will be let down and they must fight on their own to survive.
(Holy smokes, this sounds serious and intense. :P I'll wait to see which team needs a player before I choose, if that's alright.)
I shall defend my quite pristine and honorable sister. :giggle:
This looks pretty fun! You've convinced me. I'll support you, Queen Rosie, 'til my dying breath!
I love that Rosie's siblings are her team. XD
*Waits for minions*
You gotta make sure you have committed subjects. ;D
Might as well support the one I've been supporting on the other thread...
I'm sorry, my Queen, but I don't think I can join this fight :(
That's alright! You should join Tammo, he is retiring soon and those old bones won't protect themselves ;D
Now that's just rude!
I'm with Tammo...Hopefully we can win something for him before he goes...
(Is it just me, or are there two Danns? 😛)
There are two Danns.
Yeah, I'm with the Tomato all the way!
Long live Jukka!
*Holds hand out to Seb* May the best Corndaugan win!

Whoops! My bad, the yellow Dann is Daniel. I'll go edit that. Thanks, Sebias!
Can this be counted as a weapon?

I'll be the one choosing and distributing weapons, but I'll keep that one in mind. :)
I plan to choose less weapon-y items though, so be prepared!
Oh, and I will be assigning them at random so that I don't give bias to my own team.
Alright, it seems like we will only get 6 people for this. What do you all think about having one defender per staff member? That could make things quite interesting. ;D
Seven, actually. I'll join.
Great! Which staff member will you defend?
Huh, I didn't even know this thread existed. I'd be interested in joining as well, if I'm allowed :laugh:
Team Corn FTW
Daniel and Tammo.
Sorry, but you can only defend one person. Since Tammo already has a full team, I'll add you to Daniel's!
Will there be a prequel and a spinoff series?
Is it too late to join this?

Nope, I'm happy to have you join!
For anyone else who has not chosen a staff member, Daniel, Jukka, and Dann still need assistance!
Hey everyone should abandon their teams and come help me win the fight this time because it's a great idea and, uh... I'm neat! Thank you, this has been my motivational speech.
I'm with you!

Hey Tammo, just so you know, the epic battle has yet to begin. ;D We're waiting for a few people to join the remaining empty teams.
*poofs the beach ball back into Tammo's force-field room*
Oh Rosie can you change the navy or blue teams color to red?
Hmmm, maybe! Red is currently the color for the members on the map, but I can certainly change that. Why exactly do you ask?
Because having two shades of blue is kinda like: Why Der 2 Blu and no red?
Ahhh, I see. I was going by the colors of the rainbow after red, and navy is the closest color option to indigo. If it ends up becoming a problem later on though I can definitely change it. :)
Oh, ok!
I'm ready! I'm ready!

Tammo crosses his arms and grumbles to himself in his control booth, "'oh, be an admin,' they said. 'You can do whatever you want,' they said... grumble grumble"

Huh, remind me never to choose Seb for my team.
Don't forget, you can't change teams after you have picked your staff member.

*reads the very clear rules*
.... dang XD
Now, now, Tammo, watch your language. Tsk, tsk.
I wanna fight!
Let's do this!
Yeah!
Yas!
Edit: Rosie! I think there is an indigo! This one is Navy!
Ooooh, good to know! I still think I will stick with navy, as indigo is too similar to our current purple, but if Kreg and Ami would rather post in indigo then I might change it. Thanks for the heads up about it, though!
Color Examples
NAVY
INDIGO
PURPLE
COME ON, LET'S START THE BLOODBATH! I'M READY TO FIGHT ANYONE WHO --
*poof*
oh...?
*looks at member status*
.....oh!.... well this is awkward..
*Pats*
He's weakened! Now is the time to attack!
With Tammo's lack of staff status, he has now been (very tragically) eliminated from the roster, and his base has been abandoned (although the gifts are still there and the speakerphone is still intact).
@shisteer of nothing much and
@Scott McLamok, who would you like to defend instead?
Also, shut up, @Captain Tammo ; ) Updated Map

Alright, all the teams are filled, so now...
*steel barriers around the fighting ground rise up and players are teleported to their positions*
Fight!!
*Scott crouched behind a barrier* Seb we need a game plan! We shouldn't
rush team Corn they have power players! Rosie is definitely the underdog!
*Nudges Kade* Who should we go for? We need strategy!
Also, can I have my object?
We need something dangerous, like a pool noodle. Can you help us out
@DanielofRedwall ?

*Is nudged.* I think we're duty bound to go after Seb and Scott first, since they're two of the main Corndauga backers. That makes them natural enemies of our team!
*Runs up a ramp and onto a platform just in front of Team Corn's starting location and calls out across the field to Verdauga and Teer* Hey, do you two wanna help us crush the Corndauga supporters?
A helicopter slices through the air above the grounds, with the captain hurling items at full speed towards the unsuspecting fighters.
Randomized Item Selection
@Verdauga - An ball of infinite blue yarn
@shisteer of nothing much - A laser pointer with 7 fantaaaastic color choices! :D (batteries included)
@Sebias of Redwall - A pet turtle with expert navigation capabilities (can speak English, but only when in the presence of fellow aquatic animals)
@Scott McLamok - A... watermelon?
@Kreg - A miniature version of the game Hungry Hungry Hippo but with real Hippos
@Amarith Waterspring - 20 foam pit squares
@Kade Rivok - A beginner's origami making set
@Jarky Thistlebrush - A bucket filled with bouncy balls
@Captain Wortshire - A 5 foot tall duck plushie
@Captain Tammo - A box of 12 impenetrable Batman bandaids
*Starts screaming because a 20 foam pit squares are falling me from the sky and gets bonked in the head with the hungry hungry hippo game* "H-hey, Ami, where'd you go? Wait, I GOT HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS AS MY WEAPON?? Ugh." *Gets up and walks to a platform next to Rosie's protective cage and st plays HHH with myself.*

Good point. Hmm. I say we... trick them with a sneaky plan. *Whispers sneaky plan into Scott's ear*
*rips a hole into the duck plushie, crawls into it, waddles over to the corner of the arena, and sits in place*
*Sees this occur from his spot on top of a platform just across from the captain team.*

*Climbs up platform and boops Kade's nose then climbs back down*
*Claps* Good job team! I like the teaming up you've offered, let's see how Verdsteer respond to that.

It seems you have been gifted a ball of yarn, a very helpful gift indeed. I'm imagining that could be useful a some trip wire.
@Rosie Willowwater is a personal gift of a pool noodle within the rules as well?

Not quite, but gifts are possible! These are the rules for staff assistance as seen in the original post:
QuoteUntil the supporters of a staff member are defeated, they will be in a small room surrounded by a force field. This room also contains a control panel at the front, where the staff can communicate with their team through a speakerphone and give small gifts to help them along.

Once a staff member's team is defeated, the force-field will be let down and they must fight on their own to survive.
*Prepares to hit Seb with the bucket*
Don't spill all our bouncey balls! Put those somewhere others won't steal them first!
If we had that inflatable beach ball, we could put all the bouncy balls in that and create on giant bouncy ball!
Also, Teer, Verdauga, y'all in or nah?
Quote from: Captain Wortshire on September 21, 2020, 07:43:20 PM
*rips a hole into the duck plushie, crawls into it, waddles over to the corner of the arena, and sits in place*
Ah, playing the long game I see. I expect that to pay dividends in several turns...
Right then, first off - SCORE with the bandaids! Y'all are as good as gone now!
@Dannflower Reguba what are the orders, sah! Defend or attack?
I dunno, just chill I guess, no reason to cause trouble as I see it.

You're no fun.
Anywho, I guess since Verdsteer is ignoring me, we should attack? What say ye, Jarky?
*Digs up
@Ami from the pile of foam pit blocks*
Hey, wanna play some HHH?
*SQUEAK SQUEAK!!!*
@Cornflower MM Sounds fine to me dear. Lads? Listen to what the pretty lady says.
*SQUEAK SQUEAK!!!*
*Starts barrel rolling all over the arena*
*Collects bouncy balls and retreats* Hmm... how much paper do you have in there, Kade?
Mmm, I probably have enough for whatever the origami book wants me to make, since the paper came with the book. Now, what's in this book anyways...
*Looks in the origami book.*
Giant paper airplane? Huh.
*Rolls up to Kade*
HEY! Got any grapes?
*Borrows a purple bouncy ball from Jarky and tosses it down to Wort from atop his platform.* Sure, here ya go!
*Starts to glue squares of paper together, as per instructions* Kade! Keep watch!
*Enters into defensive mode, ready to attack and counter attack any who invades the realm of his divinity.* Y'all better stay back now.
*Walks up to Kade*
Wanna play some MMM?
*waddles over to top of the tallest structure*
Where is this structure? Also, Kade, I need help folding this giant, giant thing. *The huge square of paper is almost too big for the platform*

We kinda need that to WIN. Got any ideas? I have these 20 foam blocks I'm currently drowning in....Maybe drown some peeps? Smother them? Force feed them? We gotta off them somehow. Or at least incapacitate them........ Maybe play some good cop bad cop?
*Lassos one of the hippos with my string.*
I have the hippo now.

*The giant paper plane is finished* Let's launch it off the tower!
Ok, uh.. does, does the book also include instructions on how to control this thing?
I think you sort of lean to the side to steer, or pull the nose up to go up... *boards the plane, placing the bucket of bouncy balls at the back* Hop on!
Ok, well... here goes! *Gets on board with Jarky.*
*The plane falls off the platform, but swoops up again*

*wakes up and rubs eyes* Huh? Oh, helping to kill the other teams. Sure thing. I'm keen. What's the plan? Verdauga and I distract them while you swoop in and steal their... shadows?
Sounds like a sound plan.
Sweet! Do you know how to steal shadows? I personally have no idea, but I read a book about it and it's surprisingly effective.
Hmm... I'll just nosedive them.
Sounds good. You ready,
@Verdauga ?
...I somehow don't think he's ready.
Rather unfortunate. Should we wait for him, or just continue?
Sure, but shouldn't we be fighting them?
We're teaming up against the Corndauga supporters.
Yeah, what Jarky said.
You reopened the wound! Dann I'm sorry but I was provoked! *Throws his watermelon in the air* CORNDAUGA FOREVER!
Oh dear. Looks like more motivation.
*Realises that in the time we've been chatting, the paper plane has drifted higher and higher*
@Kade Rivok? Help!
Ok, um... *Makes self heavier via an unholy amount of baconators dark magic.*
*The paper plane plummets*
Alright, this is great, but I've forgotten what the plan is.
*The paper plane is still plummeting* Oh dear...
*Throws a bouncy ball at the ground very hard, forcing the paper plane upwards*
*The watermelon crashes into the paper airplane tearing it in half*
*The paper plane is not very high up at this point, so me and Kade harmlessly crash to the ground* Ooh, a watermelon. *Begins to eat the watermelon*
*Sits beside Jarky and takes a piece of watermelon*
Good, isn't it? *Takes the chance to make a run for it now Scott is distracted*
Well see ya! *Munches on his watermelon and offers one to Kade*
