The Vagabonds is an interactive game, here on steemit, based on my original paintings. In the first phase, I presented 8 unique characters, and in that phase you, yes, you determined their own unique Name, their positive as well as their negative trait and their unique weapon/artefact/superpower.
Now, in this second phase, we're pitching these 8 fictional Vagabonds in fictional one-on-one contests/games/battles, ... also chosen by you! (You can still suggest games/contests/battles in a comment in this post and I'm letting the dice choose randomly for every match - we do have some great suggestions, so thanks already for that! The outcome of the fictional contest is also interactive: I present the characters and the contest, and you can comment on how you see this particular contest turn out, and who wins in your scenario. A winner will be chosen and will move on to the Semi-Final, and the Final, until we have our Grand Vagabond Winner!
But before we move on to the last Quarter-Final, the third Quarter-Final must be resolved!
It was Pattimura, the Dandy but Schizofrenic Ladies-Man with A Sword as a Tool of War:
versus Mutia, the Allmighty but Tiresome Heretic with her Sword of Death:
In a game of violent Cuddling!
Four official entries were made:
,
,
and, in the nick of time,
all presented their own weird scenario. There was violence!, there was chaos!, some old characters turned up (Zygmunt!), some surprising new character,
!, ran away with The Torch of Bragging Rights. It was awesome, it was fun, it was mayhem, it was Vagabonds at their best! There was also plenty of interaction between the players: I'm seeing people upvoting other players' posts, and responding to each other. I've had a few busy days myself, and I'm coming back to see this great party - I'm seeing everybody enjoying this already legendary competition, thank you all, this is really what I intended it should be :D
As I'm seeing everybody did an honest effort to come up with a story, I'm dividing 1.1 sbd between all four entries and I do not decide on a clear winning player: Mutia gets two wins, Pattimura gets one and a vague one. So it's time to roll the dice.
has ran away with the torch of bragging rights in the entries, so obviously it's all hers right now!
EDIT to this very niflheim-y situation, rightly pointed out by
. With four space-temporal dimensions overlapping eachother - happening at the same time in similar yet, different co-ordinates along the v-w-x-y-z-axes -not to mention the e-x-c-e-l-vector points, there was bound to be some confusion among the players, interacting characters and interfering kittens. After an interstellar blur and the ubiquitous CTRL-Z-move, the following upgrade was made to the Vagabonds-universe: all players are right, as well as all commenters.
got the torch back, to give to the player she wishes. Let
cast a vote.
The diceand the majority here have chosen the Vagabond. The Metaverse can handle this hiccup :)
The Vagabond advancing to the Semi-Finals is... Mutia, the Allmighty but Tiresome Heretic with her Sword of Death!
So Now then, Then now!, on to the last Quarter Final!
It's Caern, the Formidable but Lazy Octogenerian with his Dagger of Truth:
versus Droopy, the Unstoppable but Apologetic Vampire Hunter with the Gauntlets of Fractured Eons:
And they're competing in a race for the Last Place on the Last Rescue-Boat of the Titanic! It's either to live, or to freeze to death in the North Atlantic Ocean... Thanks for suggesting this game!
How will this one turn out!? It's do or die for these guys, unless you come up with something really imaginative. It's a formidable Octogenerian and an Unstoppable Vampire Hunter fighting it out. One's lazy but with a dagger, the other one's apologetic with Gauntlets. This could be good! Try to take in account all aspects of the characters - positive and negative traits, and their weapons. It may be short, it may be extensive, but it should be original.
And it could be your entry advancing either Vagabond to the Semi-Finals. Have fun, The first Semi-Final is coming up in roundabout 48 hours. Thanks for playing & have fun! :)
