  • Kyra and Katya decide to join forces and get rid of the creepy immortals Caspian & Kant.
    Katya shoots her crossbow at Kant but gets a random deflect off a wooden spoon suddenly raised in it's flight path and the bolt hits Methos full in his chest.

    -2 Methos
    +1 Kyra
    +1 Katya

    5. Methos = 11
    24. Kassim = 01

      You really want Methos out, don't you? lol

      Yes, in my opinion he's not deserving of the high score he's getting due to fan popularity. He works great in plotting and secrecy but not in fighting against multiple opponents out in the open. This format works against him in my opinion. He followed Kronos because he had to/it was the best chance he had to improve his survival.

      He's no leader and certainly not competent enough in a fight against more than 1 opponent.
      1 on 1 he'll win a lot of fights because of trickery and secondary weapons. But if he'd pull those out where others could see, he'd be dead soon.

      See, I don't think he's going to go head to head with multiple people. I think he'd be incredibly smart in coming up with ways to survive here. As we've said, he's got the location so he can move around. It's not like he's locked in a WWE steel cage with nowhere to run.

      He's a strategist. He's not the weakest Horseman as he beat Silas in straight combat. Would he beat Kronos? Yeah, probably not. But I bet he'd beat Caspian in a tight fight.

  • Nicholas has an interesting view on Methos, which I agree with to an extent. In terms of The Horsemen, I consider him the weakest. But, in any format, including this one, he will figure out how to survive. It is what he does best. Moving along.

    Kassim's luck runs out and he is beheaded by Katya. In another location, Kyra directs a few centuries worth of rage at poor David Keogh.

        Methos having good protectors in Jin Ke and Caspian continues to rest and scope out the field. He realizes how weak Keogh is so he lets him go. Kyra cuts him down.

        • We've Methos and Kyra on almost even footing now. Since everyone starts out at 5, though, you're really just artificially (wooden spoon) pulling Methos' score down. Have you considered instead raising other characters?

          David Keogh has no one to pity or help him. Coventry might if he knew the boy's history, but Horvan Kant sees a weak foe and takes his head.

          Cory Raines, as wiggly as a puppy, is ecstatic to see Kyra and Coventry. Unfortunately, I only have two + so I'm giving one to Kyra and one to Cory. Jin Ke takes out Kalas, for the time has come.

          - to David Keogh. He's out.
          + to Kyra
          + to Cory
          - to Kalas, he's out!

          • Kyra and Katya see the opportunity to team up, both seemingly still upset about their rejection for the lead in Highlander: The Raven. J/K, but they do team up. They direct their attention to the obviously out of his depth Kant.

            • Obviously Kant is gone -- and Katya moves up in the world+. Methos gets one because he really is that clever even if he isn't the strongest Horseman, hell, this whole rumble may well have been his idea.

              • Coventry is trying to stay alive. He is failing and falls victim to the odd (and no doubt temporary) duo of Corey Raines and Anthony Gallen. Elsewhere, Caspian's stomach is starting to growl.

                • Caspian removes the crossbow bolt from Methos' chest, which hurts like hell much to Caspians delight and tosses it away.
                  Katya sees the bolt dropping from the tribune and goes to retrieve it.

                    Or you could let Methos drop below superman status and pretend he's actually killable.
                    Below 10 I'll leave him for others and bring down other immortals that are getting too high.

                    No.

                    The point of the Game is to bring them down until there's only one.

                      • Okay, I think I'm caught up.

                        Nicholas and I were talking, and came up with a suggestion. Perhaps as everyone starts at 5, there should be an upper limit. I thought at first 16, but perhaps 20 would be good.

                        McCormick and Cory fight, but with less determination and so no points, but Coventry loses another point to Gallen. Poor Coventry. We hardly knew him. Liam decides to go after Kyra (again?) and loses a point to her. Methos takes a quick gander at the lay o the land. He has a lot of good people now, besides the reliable but volatile Caspian and the somewhat confused but beautiful Jin Ke. A broader alliance may help.

                        Oh, should Marcus Korolus be 03?

                        + to Methos
                        + to Kyra
                        - to Coventry

                            Matthew is supposed to have been Cory's teacher, that's why I didn't have them attacking each other with verve. We already know that Cory's like a puppy.

                        • Just to note here, immortals with any mental issues are always fun.

                          Matthew recognizes Caspian from something he read from Scotland Yard about a man arrested for cannibalism. He had no idea Evan Caspari was an immortal. Being near him now, he had no idea he was an ancient immortal. Matthews's sense of justice, as well as being the "serial killer guy", takes over. He does notice Caspari being called a different name, Caspian. In addition, he is staying close to that other ancient. It reminds him of a story his teacher told him years ago about four ancient immortals who rode together. But that was only a myth, which he quickly dismisses.

                          Elsewhere, Katya and Kyra are staying aligned for the moment. They each land a shot on Liam O'Rourke, bringing him to his knees.

                          Katya may have a bigger problem. Korolus sees Katya, but only sees her as Lenora, the woman who betrayed him many years ago. Methos, having had access to the Watcher files, knows why Korolus is how he is and eggs him on, even telling him that Katya is Lenora. Methos, you are a prick.

                            Question: Why would Methos do that? Actually, I can give it a positive spin. Katya is more than likely to take Korolus out than vice-versa. It's more likely he's trying to get Korolus killed quickly.

                            Oh, Lucas Desiree! I like you so! Graham Ashe, considering how he was written and what story they gave him, the weaknesses inherent in his training I consider might be the reason for Ramirez losing to the Kurgan.

                          + to Caspian

                          Caspian and Jin Ke are fairing well, fighting together with Methos adding support. Korolus is making a lot of noise, he starts looking at Katya but being blonde wants to go after Kyra. The two ladies are cutting him to ribbons.

                                  • Liam O'Rourke goes full kamikaze on Methos. Jin Ke prevents more damage by doing the honourable thing and swiftly beheads O'Rourke.

                                    McCormick takes a moment to focus and think of a way to isolate the ancient immortals.

                                    • Question: Why would Methos do that?
                                      Because he is Methos and he is certainly not above misdirecting someone's rage to better his own chances. Helping to eliminate Katya would certainly do that.

                                      • Let's hope we can get things working here. I do prefer my Methos with less clear evil. Kyra, Katya, Matthew, Graham and Lucas are very likely to form an alliance. They're pretty compatible, I think.

                                        Methos has Jin Ke and Caspian, and knows Anthony Gallen is no follower, but he is a thinker. Hot chicks on one side, tough guys on the other. Methos, who says he always goes with the winner, strategizes how to meld the group, for there are more to come. He decides Gallen must go, and he and Caspian go after him.

                                        -- Gallen
                                        + Methos
