@GrinningWolf24 @littletoes101 yeah about that... i tried a roll, but it would've led to another guild self-destructing, so i'm making the executive decision to give everybody a couple new recruits before i try again. and i'll probably be editing the rules again here soon. when i edited the list of tasks to account for three gangs, i only added new tasks that generally led to exalting dragons, since i didn't quite trust the illusion of balance between gaining and losing dragons. clearly, that edit has tipped the equilibrium. i could balance it out by reverting to the original setup of recruiting every day prior to the other rolls, but who needs to admit that i originally misinterpreted the op? not me! so i'll figure something out. edit: i figured something out. added a handful of new tasks that should help rebalance the gain/loss of dragons, and also increase the utter chaos. in the meantime, have some more fodder: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58849314][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588494/58849314.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58857736][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588578/58857736.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58859650][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588597/58859650.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58859651][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588597/58859651.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58859652][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588597/58859652.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58840205][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588403/58840205.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58840208][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588403/58840208.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58626266][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/586263/58626266.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58849312][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588494/58849312.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58849313][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588494/58849313.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58851898][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588519/58851898.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58851899][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588519/58851899.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58725026][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/587251/58725026.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58725027][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/587251/58725027.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58735811][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/587359/58735811.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58626264][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/586263/58626264.png[/img][/url] once each gang has two recruits, i'll roll for the daily tasks and see where things go from there. okay, here's the recruits.

i could balance it out by reverting to the original setup of recruiting every day prior to the other rolls, but who needs to admit that i originally misinterpreted the op? not me! so i'll figure something out.

edit: i figured something out. added a handful of new tasks that should help rebalance the gain/loss of dragons, and also increase the utter chaos.

in the meantime, have some more fodder:

58849314.png 58857736.png 58859650.png 58859651.png 58859652.png 58840205.png 58840208.png 58626266.png 58849312.png 58849313.png 58851898.png 58851899.png 58725026.png 58725027.png 58735811.png 58626264.png

once each gang has two recruits, i'll roll for the daily tasks and see where things go from there.

okay, here's the recruits. Anya's new neophytes are:

58849314.png Toby
58840208.png Grub

Virion has recruited:

58857736.png Brimstone
58840205.png Shadoweaver

and Cherub (who'll get an extra level to establish her leadership momentarily) has these two siblings:

58851898.png Melisande
58851899.png Tepila


about to roll for tasks for this lot. brb again!

assassins: 1, he's not coming back
sorcerers: 11, bad weather
guildless: 29, juvie!

well, that's an appropriate roll for the assassins. i'm going to flip a coin to see which other guild they target; heads for sorcerers and tails for the guildless. we get heads/tails/tails! and the roll selects Melisande as the unlucky. so while Midnight gets the new recruits sorted, Anya seeks out the hole the guildless traitors went to ground in and kills the first one of them she happens upon.

Virion has decided to give his new recruits a day to settle in; that's what he told them, at least, before shutting himself in his study. Shadow and Brimstone don't seem to mind. it's a good excuse to see what the guild's pantry has in stock.

@GrinningWolf24 @littletoes101 okay, time to see what's up today for these nerds. today marks the third day/task roll in a row where the assassins have higher numbers, so they get a new recruit automagically. i'll go get them once i roll for the tasks: assassins: 31, one new recruit, ah ah ah! sorcerers: 7, backstabbing v1 guildless: 19, new recruits! welp. rip the sorcs today, i guess. the assassins will get a total of 3 new recruits to roll for, the guildless 1, and the sorcs... let me flip for who gets shivved, actually. heads for Brim and tails for Shadow; we get heads/tails/heads. bye then, Brimstone! the ridgeback is found dead in their workroom, partly charred and reeking of sulfur. which is, in Virion's opinion, suspicious. the workroom is protected with shields and every trick Virion knows to keep spells from going critical. no matter what or how Virion asks, though, Shadoweaver doesn't tell him anything. aight here's the wall of fodder for the recruits: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58852088][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588521/58852088.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58257054][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/582571/58257054.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58291279][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/582913/58291279.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58301787][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/583018/58301787.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58848622][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588487/58848622.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58848624][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588487/58848624.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58867668][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588677/58867668.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58867669][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588677/58867669.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=56456206][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/564563/56456206.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58203175][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/582032/58203175.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58203176][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/582032/58203176.png[/img][/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58866814][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588669/58866814.png[/img][/url] and the keepers for the assassins are: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58301787][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/583018/58301787.png[/img][/url] Skyward [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58867668][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588677/58867668.png[/img][/url] Ruitan [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58203175][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/582032/58203175.png[/img][/url] Darkfire and the guildless get: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=58866814][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/588669/58866814.png[/img][/url] Eden [right][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2806872#post_41896533]back to table of contents[/url][/right]

okay new rolls time!

assassins: 14, major heist!
sorcerers: 2, mass defection
guildless: 21, gettin' down with the theivery

w e l p RNG really hates the sorcerers. looks like Shadoweaver will be reinventing the mercenary guild, leaving Virion once again alone. a resounding "WHAT THE F#$%" echoes from the sorcerer's guild headquarters from a very miffed imperial.

the roll is a d14 for the assassins to live their major heist.
Anya - 3, live. Midnight - 6, dead. Toby - 9, dead. Grub - 4, live. Skyward - 10, dead. Ruitan - 2, live. Darkfire - 10, dead.

so Anya only has two left to her at the end, one of whom - rng says Ruitan - defects to the mercenaries 2.0.

as for the guildless, Eden defects, leaving the other three with their one-use get out of death free card.

Haha, poor Virion just can't seem to catch a break. X) Hopefully he gets some new buddies soon! All the guilds are getting small again too!

@GrinningWolf24 @littletoes101

!! hello yes i forgot about this site for a day or two but i'm back now

assassin: 28, you got the flu
mercenaries: 13, crimes time
sorcerers: 24, scandal afoot
guildless: 10, busted!

Anya is having a bad time, huh? she's the only assassin left to get sick, so she catches the flu. she won't let that stop her from taking jobs or looking for recruits, though.

as for the mercs, the coin flips land heads/tails/tails and tails/heads/heads. Shadow and Ruitan head out to attack the guildless' headquarters. Two of them are gone, but Cherub and the half grown imperial kid Chamomile are in. they double-target Cherub as the bigger threat and quickly overwhelm her, though she gets a good strike in on Shadoweaver. Chamomile, still only half trained, tries to run and is cut down, but not without finishing the job Cherub started. Ruitan leaves the bodies in favor of raiding the guildless' hideout for food before fleeing back to the mercenary guild base.

as for the sorcs... for once in this fodderlocke, we have two dergs who are both RTB and are able to do so! Anya and Virion, making the scandal that much more scandalous. they "just happen" to encounter each other in the storm-shadowed streets. the two Guildmasters, isolated in an area claimed by no guild, what will they do? Anya knows she's not at her best. Virion sees it. he knows her better than any of these other clowns realize. so he casts a bubble of illusion around them, obscuring the tableau within from prying eyes. "You haven't been taking care of yourself, Anya."

"You've stolen my last apprentice," She snaps back.

he tilts his head. "I did nothing of the sort. He came to me." there's too much smugness in the imperial's tone for Anya's liking.

"Yes, that's what your overbearing ego tries to tell you. Someone should really put a few marks on that pretty face of yours. I'm happy to do it~" she sidles closer with a nasty smile.

Virion chuckles. "Good to know you still think I'm pretty." he reaches out to caress her cheek. she whips her head to the side lightning quick, mouth open; her teeth gently catch his paw, only nicking his hide when Virion yanks it back reflexively.

she chuckles. "Twitchy, aren't you? Don't you trust me anymore, handsome?"

they continue flirting for a bit within the safety of the illusion. it's a while after that when the spell dissolves and they go back to their respective guilds. Anya is very annoyed later when she realizes she's carrying a couple of souvenirs from their little encounter.

clearly, the guildless landed a 2 for the number of dergs to fall. and Cherub and Chamomile were the unlucky.

as for the mercs, the coin flips land heads/tails/tails and tails/heads/heads. Shadow and Ruitan head out to attack the guildless' headquarters. Two of them are gone, but Cherub and the half grown imperial kid Chamomile are in. they double-target Cherub as the bigger threat and quickly overwhelm her, though she gets a good strike in on Shadoweaver. Chamomile, still only half trained, tries to run and is cut down, but not without finishing the job Cherub started. Ruitan leaves the bodies in favor of raiding the guildless' hideout for food before fleeing back to the mercenary guild base.

as for the sorcs... for once in this fodderlocke, we have two dergs who are both RTB and are able to do so! Anya and Virion, making the scandal that much more scandalous. they "just happen" to encounter each other in the storm-shadowed streets. the two Guildmasters, isolated in an area claimed by no guild, what will they do? Anya knows she's not at her best. Virion sees it. he knows her better than any of these other clowns realize. so he casts a bubble of illusion around them, obscuring the tableau within from prying eyes. "You haven't been taking care of yourself, Anya."

"You've stolen my last apprentice," She snaps back.

he tilts his head. "I did nothing of the sort. He came to me." there's too much smugness in the imperial's tone for Anya's liking.

"Yes, that's what your overbearing ego tries to tell you. Someone should really put a few marks on that pretty face of yours. I'm happy to do it~" she sidles closer with a nasty smile.

Virion chuckles. "Good to know you still think I'm pretty." he reaches out to caress her cheek. she whips her head to the side lightning quick, mouth open; her teeth gently catch his paw, only nicking his hide when Virion yanks it back reflexively.

she chuckles. "Twitchy, aren't you? Don't you trust me anymore, handsome?"

they continue flirting for a bit within the safety of the illusion. it's a while after that when the spell dissolves and they go back to their respective guilds. Anya is very annoyed later when she realizes she's carrying a couple of souvenirs from their little encounter.

clearly, the guildless landed a 2 for the number of dergs to fall. and Cherub and Chamomile were the unlucky.

Oof. It seems that Virion is cursed to be forever alone. Poor guy. X/ At least the rest of the guilds are doing better and gaining recruits?

almost exactly one calendar year later, i'm bored enough to start this up again! kind of. obviously, the previous participants of this have long since been exalted, so i'm going to start anew. and i think i'll do the new iteration, differently. rather than make up their story shenanigans as each dice roll happens, and find myself at wit's end with a cast that rotates too fast for me to care enough about characterization and so forth, i'm going to proceed with the mechanics of the challenge for a while, either until the generation runs itself into the ground as prior generations have, or until i feel like stopping. and [i]then[/i] i will write a story around their nonsense, once i know the conclusion. in terms of the mechanics, this will be using the same rules as the previous fodderlocke, though i will probably continue tweaking the ruleset until i find a balance between recruiting and exalting that pleases me. i'll be picking up with the multi-gang setup i used for the guilds, and this time, i'll set up a bit of a competition. i've got two gaolers, two banescales, and two veilspun, bc i just really like the ancients; i'm going to level them all to 8, and once they're all RTB, i'm going to sit them on nests. while they're incubating, i'm going to flip a coin for all the adults so that one parent from each nest gets the boot once the nest hatches, so the three initial gangs are going to be led by the surviving parent and their children, plus enough extra adult fodder to bring the gangs up to five, if necessary. with that said, here are our contestants: [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/664331/66433093.png[/img] Wynne [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/632616/63261530.png[/img] Betelgeuse, who i'm rooting for purely bc of the coincidence that he's named the same as a previous fodderlocke derg [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/648315/64831422.png[/img] Kayka [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/647984/64798363.png[/img] Farefax [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/661979/66197870.png[/img] Theoden [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/coliseum/portraits/668823/66882226.png[/img] Gamekeeper all but the veils are RTB right now, but my nests are full and the veils won't be ready for two weeks, so i'm gonna just sit on these guys for a while and hope i don't forget or lose interest by the time they're properly ready lmao (kind of wish the rtb veils on the ah had been, you know, fodder price, but i can't blame people for keeping veils a little more expensive for a while yet.)

obviously, the previous participants of this have long since been exalted, so i'm going to start anew. and i think i'll do the new iteration, differently. rather than make up their story shenanigans as each dice roll happens, and find myself at wit's end with a cast that rotates too fast for me to care enough about characterization and so forth, i'm going to proceed with the mechanics of the challenge for a while, either until the generation runs itself into the ground as prior generations have, or until i feel like stopping. and then i will write a story around their nonsense, once i know the conclusion.

in terms of the mechanics, this will be using the same rules as the previous fodderlocke, though i will probably continue tweaking the ruleset until i find a balance between recruiting and exalting that pleases me. i'll be picking up with the multi-gang setup i used for the guilds, and this time, i'll set up a bit of a competition. i've got two gaolers, two banescales, and two veilspun, bc i just really like the ancients; i'm going to level them all to 8, and once they're all RTB, i'm going to sit them on nests. while they're incubating, i'm going to flip a coin for all the adults so that one parent from each nest gets the boot once the nest hatches, so the three initial gangs are going to be led by the surviving parent and their children, plus enough extra adult fodder to bring the gangs up to five, if necessary.
