I'm going to go ahead and make a judgment call. Don't want the time to expire.

Sorry, just checking back now. And no worries... asked you to play for your judgment calls!

Thanasis has retrieved: JIANGSHI, MUMMY, ZOMBIE
Jiangshi - 3 Mummy - 1 Zombie - 2
1 Space: JIANGSHI (x3), VAMPIRE (x2), GUMIHO (x3), MUMMY (x2) 2 spaces: MUMMY (x3), ZOMBIE (x3) 3 spaces: VAMPIRE (x3), GUMIHO (x1) , JIANGSHI (x1)
Putting Jiangshi on space 3 guarantees that mummy cannot piggyback vampire. Since mummy cannot win the 1 space, and for vampire to win the 1 space would mean sacrificing mummy winning the 2 space. So it hasn't worked out too bad. Are we all agreed on this?

This could be interesting... when javi didn't show up to pick or draw, Mas automatically picked and placed the characters after 24 hours. I wonder if he will do the same if Malachai doesnt show up, or will he pick the characters and give Malachai another 24 hours to actually place them?

That was interesting! Just thought I would update character choices:
Pete - Jiangshi / Gumiho Adam - Mummy / Zombie Nat - Vampire / Zombie Tomcat - Vampire / Zombie Than - Vampire / Jiangshi Javi - Jiangshi / Gumiho (Adam told us that that he had instricted Javi to pick 2 different characters from him, and since we know he definitely doesn't have a Vampire)
So for Nyx and Malachai, that leaves: Zombie / Mummy / Jiangshi / Gumiho
Based on Nyx' comments and gameplay, I doubt very much that she has Zombie .
As for this next round, we have to try get Gumiho to move 3, and make sure Mummy doesn't move. This would be ideal. IF we do manage to get gumiho the 3 moves, we also have to make sure that vampire does NOT move pas the finish live with 2 moves...this would end the race before gumiho moves and I would have a one-way ticket to the death match lol

SOrry, been a little absent. Should I skip or draw? Should we try to go all-out and get everything into position, or go for an advantage next round?
Sorry, Mas - going to bed, so I'll be leaving this one till near the deadline. I'll be up and sign on in time, though.

I'm drawing. If it starts to look like skipping can be opportune, Than can still do it.

Nat retrieved:
JIANGSHI, JIANGSHI, VAMPIRE
1 space: JIANGSHI (x1), MUMMY (x2), ZOMBIE (x3)
2 spaces: GUMIHO (x1), VAMPIRE (x2), MUMMY (x3)
3 spaces: GUMIHO (x3)
That leaves the following 6 characters in the pot: Jiangshi / Gumiho / Vampire / Vampire / Mummy / Zombie
Here are the character's placings:
SPACE 11: VAMPIRE
SPACE 10: ZOMBIE
SPACE 9: MUMMY
SPACE 6: GUMIHO
START: JIANGSHI
We don't want Gumiho to move 2 & 3, so placing 1 Jiangshi in space 2 takes care of that. We don't want Mummy to win 2 either, so placing 1 vampire in space 2 also puts a temporary halt on that. In fact, putting all of your characters in space 2 works Nat, I think...we would have something like this:
1 space: JIANGSHI (x1), MUMMY (x2), ZOMBIE (x3)
2 spaces: GUMIHO (x1), JIANGSHI (x2) , VAMPIRE (x3), MUMMY (x3)
3 spaces: GUMIHO (x3)
Then we hope that Than gets the last Jiangshi. Thoughts?

EDIT: Long babble before re-reading the rules about what happens if 2 characters are on the same space. Relevant part: Mummy moving at all = baaaaad

So, the character on top is ranked higher. So Pete, you're right - if Gumiho moves 3 to space 9 with Mummy, it will be ranked higher than Mummy!!!
So, Vampire moves 2 to finish the race, Gumiho moves 3 to piggyback Mummy, and keep Zombie where it is - ie: keep it from moving (though if it moves 1, not a big deal).
So, for Than...
Space 1: Mummy Space 2: Vampire Space 3: Jiangshi
1 space: JIANGSHI (x1), MUMMY (x3), ZOMBIE (x3) 2 spaces: GUMIHO (x1), VAMPIRE (x4), MUMMY (x3), JIANGSHI (x2) 3 spaces: GUMIHO (x3), JIANGSHI (x1)
Then with Malachai...
With Zombie, the most he can do is get Zombie to win space 1 (not a big deal). With Gumiho, he can only increase the lead in space 3 or keep Jiangshi from moving in Space 1. with Vampire, absolutely moot.
MAS, QUESTION: Do all of the moves play out before the race officially ends? ie: if Vampire hits the finish line by moving 2 spaces, does Gumiho still move 3 spaces this round? ie: does the round end when Vampire crosses the finish line, or does it end when all characters have moved for this round?

Because if Gumiho does move 3 spaces after Vampire crosses, determining the final placings... then we can complete the race this round with Nat and I winning and Pete and Nyx tying!

Final thoughts, if Gumiho *does not* move 3 after Vampire crosses the finish...
Get Zombie to move 1 space, so it's on top of Vampire (ranking: 1. Zombie, 2. Vampire). Than pans Mummy to space 3, to take it out of play. Keep Mummy and Vampire tied for 2 spaces (Than pans Vampire elsewhere), so Jiangshi moves. Gumiho moves 3 spaces and is on top of Mummy.
Ranking at end of this round: 1. Zombie, 2. Vampire, 3. Gumiho. Then, next round (hopefully the final), it's all about getting Vampire to move to maintain that ranking.

Race ends immediately when a character crosses the finish line.
