Tagging. I would love to be a part of the admin team, but I'd also like to actually build a team for one of these instead of the three times I've come in as a sub, and a more argument-focused game sounds both more fun and ultimately more engaging to my style of play, which is "not winning, but making close fight topics that make people believe stupid crap".

But I do love me some merc building, definitely. And I would love to do test matches with the admin team...

... god quite on both sides of the fence for this. If you had a leaning, Kaz, I would tip over either way. Because I do love this stupid waste of time game.

Really the way these things usually work, she'll get in by rally/meme/actually being a very good character, get paired up against like, Mario, and that'll be that. But it will be a fun ride

So for this one I see everyone plopping into the starting room. Kool Aid Man soon plows through the nearest wall. "OH YEAH!" And everyone decides to follow him, he probably gets everyone through the time barrier by plowing through it too. "OH YEAH!"

I'm thinking everyone gets to the Tesseract okay, and that mean thing kills Kool Aid and Maxx (he's dumb enough to think he can fight it). Serone probably shoves Ash at it and ducks back out. Ash is tougher than that, probably follows him. Amon and Hercules are fine, they keep going.

Serone likely winds up back in the starting room, right in time for Kool Aid Man to plow through a wall. "OH YEAH!" He kills Kool Aid Man again. Gonna guess right around here he parks in a corner and waits to see what happens, Serone is clever like that. Elsewhere, Ash probably runs into time clones of himself, kills them and immediately knows what's happening, he has enough experience with time travel. I don't think he's smart enough to figure out how to get out, but I think he keeps going long enough to end up in the starting room again. Serone jumps him. Ash blows his fucking head off. "Groovy."

Amon and Hercules end up in the Time Trap. That's interesting, I don't recall it taking effect immediately, but it will if they stick around. Hercules might not be smart enough to get out in time, Amon is, and he's calm enough not to freak out even if suddenly he's aging incredibly. I feel like he gets clear, Herc doesn't.

End result, we're going to end up with Ash chilling in the starting room, probably shooting multiple Serones every time they come in through the front door. Amon is eventually going to join him, Boomstick won't work that time. Time runs out on the Hypercube, everything collapses. Amon and Ash fall through time. Do either of them get through the portal to safety?

Well, Ash knows a magic mystery portal when he sees one, so probably.

Ash. Housewares

Amusingly I kind of see Serone as the only one with a shot here, he feels like the one guy who would do what guy in the movie did with endlessly killing clones of his teammates until he puzzled it out

...well, that would be a plan if everyone here except maybe Kool Aid Man wouldn't kill him in a fight

Really given the size of this place and how hard it is to tank stuff like "The room that ages you a thousand years", the trick to escaping this one is figuring out you need to stay put in the first room and ride out the ensuing timequake. So it's brains, not brawn

Kool Aid Man, Paul Serone, Ash Williams, The Maxx, Amon, and Hercules have been trapped in the Hypercube! Location of the fight: The Hypercube - The structure as seen in Cube 2: Hypercube. All mercs will begin in the starting chamber with no information provided to them and no knowledge how they arrived.. Which side will win?

Guidelines

- The fight will occur in real-time (like an FMV sequence), focusing on how the characters would function in a real-time environment.

- "Broken" refers to a lot of things, including insta-death, auto-effects, a variety of status effects (e.g., Imp, Silence, Stop, *not* Poison), and revival. Unless stated otherwise, nobody has them, though do use your own discretion.

- There may be SPOILERS from all of the shows/movies the characters are from.

Rules for Voting

- Bold your votes (using bold HTML tags).

- You do not need to require justification for your vote, though the admins reserve the right to disqualify votes in the advent of obvious alt voting and other similar scenarios.

- Leaders cannot vote for their own teams, but they are free to argue their case.

- If you want to switch your votes simply bold the change; there's no need to delete your post, though you may if you wish.

- This match will end in 24 hours.

There are no teams, each merc will work or won't at their own discretion. Vote for individuals you believe would escape the Hypercube alive.

Kool-Aid Man is as he appears in the Kool-Aid commercials and all other associated media. He has an uncanny ability to break through walls without hurting himself. Kool-Aid Man has the ability to go through any walls or other physical or projected barriers as though they weren't there, leaving a hole exactly his size and shape in the walls.

Paul Serone is as seen in Anaconda, armed with his tranquilizer rifle.

Ash Williams is as seen in the Evil Dead series with his bionic hand as seen in Ash vs Evil Dead and his Boomstick. He may freely swap to his chainsaw hand when he wishes.

The Maxx is as seen in his TV series. He is permanently in the real world unless otherwise specified.

Amon is as seen in season one of The Legend of Korra, in full equalist attire. He has all of his waterbending and bloodbending abilities, but may not remove people's powers. Nobody is aware of his true identity.

Hercules is as seen in the movie Disney's Hercules, in his adult demi-god form.

Can Kool-Aid Man run through a time warp? ESCAPE

Yeah as I was saying, the only thing I think keeping her from rampaging this event is being somewhat autistic and in close proximity to crazy people like Harley. River reads thoughts, I'm guessing Harley's thoughts aren't nice to read.

But really that just translates to Harley's probably dead or Danny gets distracted trying to make her not dead

Kind of surprised more people aren't familiar with Firefly. Like, if Danny doesn't save Harley from River, River is going to kill Harley horrifically

So yeah, my opinion on this could change, but way I see this going is everyone plops into the starting room, Gaston launches into song. River punches him in the face, the singing stops. Harley attacks River for being a woman in proximity to Danny, River attacks Harley because Harley is crazy and would give River telepathic headaches. Danny drags Harley out of the room and through a wall to prevent River from gutting her. Jackie and Prisoner collectively go "Huh?" One of them grabs Gaston, the River/Jackie/Prisoner/knocked out Gaston group seek their own route.

Danny probably decides he needs to go back for the others, Harley isn't going to let that happen. They have a Very Special Episode about Danny's lack of self esteem and Harley's lack of self esteem and then Harley dies in a trap because this is Cube, fuck your happiness. Danny cries.

Elsewhere, group B gets into the sound trap room, Gaston wakes up. MY WHAT A GUY THAT GASTON and all the traps go off, Gaston dies, Prisoner dies, Jackie and River ninja out of it. I think Jackie and River then can make it to the end, talk Danny out of being emo and covered in the bits of Harley and walk on out.

River, Jackie and Danny survive

In any event I see this going far less peaceably than the last Cube, since I think River is going to smack Gaston, Harley is probably going to try and smack Harley for being the only other chick here to hit on Danny, and then all hell is going to break loose
