Alt Hunt: The Battle of the Dragon and the Drunk. DISCUSSION THREAD

Alt Hunt: The Battle of the Dragon and the Drunk.
The story:


HMWU HQ.
All is quiet.
A little too... well, OK, not all is quiet.
From within can be heard the stumblings of a being that is obviously not the stablest of creatures.
Oh by the way, it is also the middle of the night (thought it might help you guys to know this).

*Bump*
*Crash*
*Capoooomb!*

Windracer woke with a start and shouted, "Lights!"
The lights lit (as they do in these kinda things).

'Grr, whats that noise?' she thought to herself.
She got up, and considered what to do next. If it was an attack of the mods, this could be serious. Most of the troops were out on maneuvers, she and her team, the Disposable Heros, would not be able to withstand a concerted attack on their own.
If course it was equally likely it was something altogether less dangerous, but a lot more irritating.

She heard something smash.
She heard someone murder the song 'Surprise, you're dead'.

"Oh FRAG, he's been on the weapons grade energon again!"

--------------------

"surprise! yer dead! slag... uh... guess what! it never ends! badadadababadababadabdbabada bah! it's not over yet!"

Jesus Prime likes drinking. It is possibly the thing he is best at. Jesus Prime, unsurprisingly therefore, was once again rather drunk. Another interesting fact is, despite all the anti-drunk features Windracer insisted on having installed when they designed HMWU HQ, he had once again, managed to get in. Many of earth's scientists believe if we could discover how Jesus Prime does this, humanity may be able to use this amazing feat of technology/magic/sheer stupidity to end all wars forever.

Windracer stormed in*.
She surveyed the damage. In all honesty, it wasn't too bad, it'd only take a week to fix this time.

"Why must you ALWAYS get drunk! Do you Brits LIVE in the pubs or what?!?"

A deathly silence engulfed the room. This time it really was a little too quiet.

Jesus Prime remained silent for a little longer (partly to consider the heinous crime that had just befallen him**, but mostly to consider which way was supposed to be up).

Then, after frankly no where near enough time had passed for someone as utterly gone as Jesus Prime to come up with the correct response, Jesus Prime said:

"Gargh, ye fecker! Did Bobby Sands die fer nothin'! I'm Irish, ye oversized flyin' friggin' lizard! and prod... erm proood, PROUD!, thats the frigging word!
Prolly that time a month anyway, at least I isn't related, *hic* related to a friggin' newt!"

Another deathly silence engulfed the room (is anybody else getting bored of all this deathly silence nonsense?).

"THAT"
"IS"
"IT!"
Fumed Windracer.
"You better whip your Archaicons into shape, because Unicron's Chosen or not, my guys are gonna show you what newt's relations are made of!"
She stormed out and slammed the door.
Those three ducks you get on walls (you know, those things that are supposed to be decorations) fell off.
Jesus Prime sat down rather drunkenly (which isn't utterly surprising) and thought 'what ye hell was that all about?'.

Redimus walked in.
"I just saw Windy storm by....
Looks like I'll have to keep score *again*."

--------------------

*Safety announcement: Do not wake up dragons. They tend to be cranky.
**Safety announcement: Do not call an Irish man a 'Brit'. They tend to be cranky.


The game:
Well it looks like Jesus Prime and his Archaicons, Unicron's Chosen (RDD) needs help from his fellow cons if he is to survive Windracer's team Disposable Heroes. Of course it wont be that easy, im sure the pesky bots will be more than willing to lend her a hand.

The targets:

Seems like my saber tooth will be seeing more action,
if only to deny Autobots points.

And, as an added bonus, should an Autobot win, I'll kill off one of my characters of their choice. :P
Except King in Yellow or JP. Cause I've kitbashed those two.

DISCHARGE, you have infact got 3, not two, points, as your second kill (the one on Trogdor Convoy) was using a target alt.

Thanx, I didn't notice that.

Something I seem to have to ask every hunt, can everybodly PLEASE number their kills.
Id prefere if you number it by overall kills, as it allows me to work out quicker if I have recorded the kill or not.

People who need to number their kills:
Phasewing
Dragonslayer
Damonicus
Ninjaburn

DISCHARGE dosnt need to as much, as he is just posting them in order, rather than by alt, but it will probably help later on if he does as well.

Thank you.

Added Numbers to help keep count for ya Red, hope it helps.

Ahhh the nostalgia of the Alt Hunts. I remember winning one of the first hunts, and Phasewing always kicking my alts asses over and over. Good times.

I'll get the numbers added this morning.

Also, we allowed to kill the same bot/con more than once? IE I kill Nemisis Breaker twice, I can count it twice.

Yes your allowed to kill the same bot/con as many times as you can find them. It would up the difficulty significantly otherwise especially for high level players.
