Badass Dragoons of the Highlands - Turn 9 - New York city (c.1986)

Through countless millennia, the Immortal game has been played. Across centuries of mortal time, adversaries have faced each other in the most pointed of fashions. At long last, the final conflict will be joined as Mr. Collins faces his own personal nemesis in the figure of Zero Demos. On the rooftops of the city, the fate of the world hangs in the balance as the ancient representatives of Minoa and Egypt contest to the very last.

Turn 9 turn strucure: With two Immortals remaining, the final confrontation will be determined round-by-round. Starting at 1500 EST tomorrow Tue Nov 21, I ask that Mr. Collins (@David_Falkayn) and Zero Demos (@daneel) submit a single stance to me directly. Once I have a single stance from both parties, I will calculate and post the results of that single round of combat. Combat will continue until one Immortal remains standing. I will check in as frequently as I am able and update this topic as results are generated. Both combatants are certainly encouraged to monologue at each other while waiting for the next fighting round to be calculated.

Strike the caitiff down, Mr. Collins! Zero delenda est!

The Kurgan have a very good bass section, mind you…but no top tenors, that’s for sure.

We’ve reached that point of the year where my professional obligations go into overdrive around Black Friday/Cyber Monday here in the US.

I was hoping to wrap things up before reality reached this point. As much as I dislike pushing the big pause button here at the finale, I’ll need to suspend the game until Mon Dec 11. I’ll give everyone a heads up when thing start moving again.

Aaaaaaaaargghh!

Sure you really want us to do this round by round, and not like the earlier turns?

Yeah, round by round sounds agonizing, unless all 3 of you are online and paying attention simultaneously.

But I suspect @messana Has A Cunning Plan.

Hey this is just like the Super Bowl. Biggest game of the year and they make us freeze the action for commercials. But you know sometimes the commercials and halftime show provide more action than on the field. who wants to show me their tits? That’s the least you can do to help a headless old pirate pass the time.
