@Chowwow: If I don't have anything more productive to do next turn I'll drag it over your way.

Actually, Ayrntake is closer... makes more sense.

Don’t forget to order item pickup! I’ll let that little mistake slip. See spoiler; you’ll notice a new special ability assigned to your unit.

PC5 – Again, normally- this message would be private, but I’ll make the contents of the mystery item public for now:

The mystery item picked up was:-

SADE supplement (10)

By “using” this item, your EvaUnit will be granted an extra 10 attribute points, to bolster the unit’s Strength/AT field/Defence/ Expertise attribute.
You may choose to add the 10 points to any one attribute, the supplemental points cannot be evenly distributed.

e.g. You can add 10 points to your unit’s AT Field attribute.
You cannot add 5 points to both your unit’s AT Field and Strength, or any other combination.

So, with this information in mind, you are granted permission to change your commands for this round, if you wish.

You could use the item:

Unit 02 Green
Pickup L6
Use: SADE supplement, Add 10 points to S/A/D/E

…or drop it, or keep it and move.

We await your commands.

[Legendary]

Use: SADE supplement, Add 10 points to A.

[chazthesilencer]

PC5 – Legendary’s full command reads:

Unit 02 Green
Pick up: L6
Use: SADE supplement, Add 10 points to A

Mystery Items

As we have just seen, mystery items may sometimes be dropped by enemy units when destroyed, other mystery items might appear on the board in far-off places.
The rewards of mystery items will vary, some may contain special abilities, others may contain SADE supplements, which bolster your EvaUnit’s SADE.

If you intend to pick up a mystery item, order your command as follows:

EvaUnit00 Blue
(Move: Next to item)
Pick up: (Item)
TBC*

*It would be a good idea to highlight the fact that the command is incomplete.

^At this point, the game master will PM the player, revealing the contents of the item.
Knowing what the item does, the player can then complete their command by editing their post. Ideally, this should be the only situation where editing a command is allowed.

See our commands list; after (moving and) picking up an item, the player can end their turn by either:
1. Moving.
2. Using the item. (Or indeed, any other item)
3. Dropping the item. (Or indeed, any other item)
4. Battling/Shooting/Initiating Unison. Baring in mind that a unit cannot move and battle/etc. after picking up an item.

Special Abilities

When assigned- special abilities will grant various, useful and strategic benefits to the capabilities of an EvaUnit.
Every special ability will have unique properties; some will have a continuous effect on the unit; some can only be used in battles/shootings; some might only be useable once every few turns; many will have side-effects, costs, parameters to be met, or a risk factor.

An EvaUnit can have multiple special abilities assigned to it, we may put a cap on the amount later.

Two SAs we’ve encountered thus far include:
“Scouter” – assigned to EvaUnit 00 Blue.
and “Inazuma Kick” – assigned to EvaUnit 03 Blood.

“Scouter” reveals strategic information to the pilot of Unit00. This is a continuous ability and can be activated at any time.

“Inazuma Kick” is a battle ability, granting Unit03 a boost of power- at a price.

If you wish to activate your unit’s special ability, simply mention it within your list of turn commands, like so:

EvaUnit00 Blue
Activate: Scouter
Move: etc.

…or with battle abilities:

EvaUnit03 Blood
Move: (next to target)
Activate: Inazuma Kick
Battle: (target)
S/E/A/D

Notes:
1. It doesn’t matter where the “activate” command is typed (it can be the first line of the post or the last); as long as it is mentioned, the special ability will be activated.
2. Special abilities are completely optional, they don’t have to be activated if you don’t want them to be.
3. Activating a special ability alone (with no movement ordered etc.) doesn’t count as a valid turn command.

Trading Places

If you wanted your EvaUnit to occupy a space already taken by another allied unit- or to become more like Eddie Murphy- you would use the trade places command:



^Let’s say EvaUnit 00 wants to pick up the ReCat at B9. The BubbleGum unit occupies B8, so Unit00 will need to trade places with it. The command for this turn will begin:

EvaUnit 00 Blue
Move: B7

^With Unit00 positioned next to BubbleGum, the trade places command can be made:

EvaUnit00 Blue
Move: B7
Trade places: EvaUnit 04 BubbleGum

This makes the EvaUnit’s trade places(!), leaving EvaUnit 00 free to pick up the item and complete its turn:

EvaUnit00 Blue
Move: B7
Trade places: EvaUnit 04 BubbleGum
Pick up: B9, ReCat etc.

Notes:
1. An EvaUnit cannot trade places with enemy units or items. Only allied units.
2. Trading places also counts as movement, so bare in mind terrain and the 6 pace rule.

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

Turn 05 begins.

Turn Order:
PC1 NemZ
PC2 AyrYntake
PC3 Great Genius Shinji-Sama
PC4 Chowwow
PC5 Legendary
PC6 Smothmoth
PC7 Sammaeloo
PC0 Chazthesilencer- makes the last command, having initiated a unison assault turn 04.
Enemy Units

So, NemZ takes the lead for turn 05.

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

Four new enemy units have appeared: SimBlu CC, SimBlu VV, SimBlu TT and SimBlu MM.
Be warned- these ones are tougher than the grunts we’ve faced thus far.

[NemZ]

EvaUnit08 Grey
Move: L21
Pick Up: K21 ~shiny~ gun
Unison w/ EvaUnit04 Bubblegum: M21 SimAngel VIII [A S]

@Smothmoth: You have a higher E rating, so I'm offering to let you have the double attack instead.

[Smothmoth]

I accept!

[AyrYntake]

Unit05 Lemon
Move: J15
Shoot: L13, SimAngel V



Also, what just appeared at A1?

Note that EvaUnit 08 Grey is now holding the maximum of 3 items.
Despite not needing to actually attack the SimAngel, EvaUnit 04 BubbleGum is still not allowed to battle/shoot/unison again until next turn.

^Sorry about all of these inconsistent battle reports, I’ll settle on a presentation style eventually :$

Naturally, no more shots can be fired until more ammunition is acquired.

Due to the side effect of “Inazuma Kick”, EvaUnit 03 Blood is now immobile, this means it cannot move until its legs are healed. GGSS can either spend the next 3 turns regenerating, or ask (nicely for) someone to bring him a mendzyme item.

@ GGSS: Jeez, I knew you were gonna try that...

I can't take on that SimAngel near me, my shot won't be effective enough.

Alright then, I'm gonna try to pick up, move and give GGSS that item near me in one turn. Does that work?

Unit 07 Cyan
Pick up: P9
Move: M11
Use: Mendzyme, M12, Unit 03 Blood

In the next turn, I'm gonna try to pick up the gold Positron rifle nearest to me. Could we store more than 3 Positron rounds per rifle?

[chazthesilencer]

PC4 – The commands list allows an EvaUnit to pick up an item and move. Picking up an item, moving and using an item however, is not allowed.
You’ll have to wait until next turn to heal Unit03 Blood.

An EvaUnit can hold an unlimited* amount of positron rounds.
Picking up a(n extra) loaded cannon/rifle is allowed; the number of positron rounds in the EvaUnit’s inventory will simply increase accordingly.

Unfortunately for Unit07 right now, it is holding the maximum 3 separate items right now.
