Let's play a tank game!

[JYAP]

Since Toss and I are the only guys playing the Chao RPG,I've decided to go for something that ISN'T a RPG. Let's blow each other up with tanks!

Rules:

First,you need a tank. Duh. After that,you can buy weapons for it,crew it,fight with it,blah blah blah.

All you need to do to attack is state you fire so-and-so at so-and-so if you're in range on the board. Simple.

Once your tank HP hits zero,you lose the round. Round ends when all participating players except one lose. Before and after rounds you can buy extra stuff to equip to your tank.

Turn order is based on your tank's move type. In order from fastest to slowest: Teleport,Wheel,Hover,Walk. Ties are determined by the tank's move range. If there's still a tie,a d6 gets rolled and highest wins. Still a tie,I reroll.

Now,without further to-do,the tanks! Wheeeeeee-(shot)
---------------------
S-class(Starter class):
--------------------------------------------------------------------
S-classes are the starting tanks. They're for free and you only get one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Viper: Looks like an oval with two turrets jutting upwards,kinda like this: \O/ except the \ and / are higher. Has 100 HP,and comes with two cannons. Hovers. Has 6 weapon slots and 3 gadget slots. Moves 2 spaces.

Bolt: A speedy tank that looks like a arrowhead with a pair of fins on the back. 95 HP,comes with machinegun. Hovers. Has 4 weapon slots,2 gadget slots. Moves 3 spaces.

Arachnid: A four-legged tank with a turret head. 110 HP,comes with hi-cannon. Walks. Has 8 weapon slots, 4 gadget slots,moves 2 spaces.

Arc: Something like a cross between a jeep and a tank. 105 HP,comes with assault rifle. Wheels. Has 6 weapon slots, 2 gadget slots,moves 2 spaces.

Twilight: A weird tank that looks like a floating diamond with three rods sticking out from the middle. 80 HP,comes with static shot. Teleports. Has 3 weapon slots, 1 gadget slot,moves 4 spaces.
-----------------------
A-class(Assist classes)($2000):
------------------------
Assist classes are pretty weak and can't carry alot. However,they can be deployed alongside your main tank for extra firepower.

Dart: A fragile one-man tank that looks like a dart. Has 2 weapon slots,no gadgets,moves 2 spaces,hovers,and has 40 HP.

Slug: A somewhat sturdy tank that looks like a square with treads and a turret on top. Has 1 weapon slot,no gadgets,moves 1 space,wheels,and has 55 HP

Blast: A experimental tank that looks like a small orb with three smaller orbs circling it. Gadget slot compensates for low HP. Has 1 weapon and gadget slot,moves 2 spaces,teleports,and has 30 HP.
-------------------------
E-class(Experimental class)($5000):
-------------------------
Experimental classes have no weapon slots. None. They carry special weapons instead that can change the course of battle. Too bad they're almost as bad as A-classes on defense.

Trion: Three orbs that are piloted by one man each,held together by an electric chain of sorts. 3 gadgets,50 HP,moves 3 spaces,teleports. Special weapon is a EMP pulse that shuts down Hover and Teleport tanks. The pulse also deals 10 damage. It has a range of 2,and hits everything in range. Requires 5 turns to cool down.

Duel: A pair of lance-shaped vehicles that use the same chain the Trion does. 2 gadgets,55 HP,moves 2 spaces,hovers. Special weapon is a penetrating laser blast from both vehicles. Deals 25 damage. Range of 3,hits all in range. Requires 5 turns to cool down as well.

Ringet: A small bipedal tank with 2 rings of missiles for arms. 1 gadget,65 HP,moves 2 spaces,walks. Special weapon is a all-out missile blitz dealing 7 damage to all players. Auto-hits,needs 4 turns to cool.
------------------
L-class(Lord-class)($5500)
------------------
Lord classes are basically stronger Starter tanks.

Nova: A large orb shining quite brightly. This throws off the aim of longrange weapons and reduces the damage of all weapons with range 5 or higher by 3. Has 8 weapons,4 gadgets,140 HP,moves 3 spaces,teleports.

Jager: A 4-legged tank crudely resembling a wolf. Offsets lack of special abilities with strong stats. Has 10 weapons,5 gadgets,160 HP,moves 4 spaces,walks.

Blazer: A quick yet odd 3 wheeled contraption with a rather large barrel on-top a triangular body. The barrel increases the attack power of cannons by 4. This is counterbalanced by its low HP. 8 weapons,3 gadgets,125 HP,moves 3 spaces,wheels.

Gadgets:
<Protoss119>
Shade: Allows you to drop a shadowy field around a 3x3 portion of the grid surrounding your tank. All tanks in that field have their weapon ranges reduced by -2. It can't go past 1 though. Single Use, disappears afterwards. $50

Oil: Allows you to drop a churning field of oil around a 2x2 portion of the grid surrounding your tank. All tanks in that field, if they don't hover or teleport, move 1 extra space, whether they like it or not. For example, an Arc crosses the field of oil, moving 1 space. Because it's in the field, it has to move an extra space in the direction its going. Single Use, disappears afterwards. $50
</Protoss119>

-------------------------
Gasp! More tanks!
-------------------------
--------------------
U-class(Unique-class)
---------------------
Unique-class tanks are...well,unique. About all I'm saying.

Overdrive: 4 "fins" placed on a cylinder. Incredibly powerful,generating a shield that can absorb 999 damage. However,the shield burns out in 10 turns and cannot be turned off. Furthermore,the Overdrive has no armor whatsoever,so one hit from ANYTHING kills it without the shield. It boosts the damage of any weapon by 5 due to all the power it has. Moves 5 spaces,teleports,has 1 HP. Cannot be bought. Instead,the loser of 3 consecutive matches pilots this tank with the same gadgets and weapons.

Element: A guy in a power suit. Haven't you ever played Mechwarrior? Has 10 HP,moves 2 spaces,hovers,and carries various weapons,from cannons to lasers to machineguns. Appears on certain maps and drops $50 upon death.

Awesome: And if you didn't recognize the last one,THIS one will be a complete stranger. Has 200 HP,does not move,and carries 4 PPCs. This only appears on a few small maps with 4 or less players. Drops $500 on death.

--------------
F-class(Fighter-Class)($2500)
-----------------------------
Fighter classes are those intermediates I forgot to add between Experimental/Lord and Starter-class. I'm not gonna bother with excessive details as all tanks look the same as before.

Viper MK II: +10 HP,+1 weapon

Bolt MK II: +5 HP, +1 Move

Arachnid MK II: +20 HP

Arc MK II: +10 HP, +1 gadget

Twilight MK II: +5 HP,+1 weapon/gadget

And yes,you CAN donate tanks. In fact,you get +$100 for a new tank. One per post please.

EDIT: When submitting anything,PLEASE include a price. I'm lazy. Which means Halfwing,post the cost of your weapons. Be reasonable too.

Round

So where am I posted at?

[JYAP]

It can be made into Flash? Awesome,I just need to allocate a hell lot of my time to learning Flash!

Anyways,you're posted on the number 2 spot on the map. You also start with $200.

Rain Gun: Sounds good,but I don't recall mentioning Recoil. Oh well. Added. +$25 for you.

[Protoss119]

Rail gun. Rail gun, that's supposed to be. Typo, sorry.

Recoil was supposed to balance out the hellish damage & range.

Well, you don't have to make it into flash, but you could, it's probably possible. At any rate:

Putting into consideration that Trog is building his PC, we may have more luck finding players if we move this to the lacking-of-any-eye-candy General Discussion forum of Trogworld (not to be confused with the EB General Discussion).
