NMR--


Well, a great year for Mario as he advances right onto Wario's warp pipe as he grows over twice his usual size, taking Wario by surprise. All other moves seem confused, aside from Guppy's, who has been expanding all by himself, and quite brilliantly using his ability.

The only one who hasn't used his ability is Bowser... but for now, it seems he's incapable of doing anything.

So many blindsides this turn... the apparent powers are manifesting themselves early in the game. Guppy, Donkey Kong, and Mario. Boo remains a wild card, and none of his home centers have been touched.

So the story continues...
Yoshi has ran away to Jungle Puddle. From his position he can see that Burt The Bashful's Fort has been taken from him. Something must be done! But what can one Yoshi alone do?
North of this drama, Guppy's army has taken a final hold on Bowser's Castle.

The next phase is the build.

Guppy: +1
Boo: 0
Yoshi: -1
Mario: +1
Donkey Kong: +2
Wario: 0

As the clouds gather, Yoshi and his friends continue journeys, as well as talking with friends and plotting against enemies. While the Floppy Fish at Rocky Road Coast will HOLD (resolved), the Floppy Fish in Lots O' Jellyfish will MOVE to Yoshi Falls (resolved). The Spear Guy at Yoshi's House will HOLD to help reclaim Yoshi's home (resolved). Yoshi will MOVE to Burning Tide Coast (retreat).

Things really get interesting this turn! Both Boo and Mario intentionally bounce themselves in their own territories. Donkey Kong finally uses his ability and throw a banana to slip up his enemy, and foil Wario's plan of taking Cloudy Coast back. Yoshi gets blitzed again and loses a supply center. Guppy and Boo seem to have some coordination going on, but Guppy seems to be gaining quite a bit more as he advances on the nearly defenseless Bowser. Bowser has got to break eventually and use his ability before it's too late! Mario sits in his corner of th map pretty comfortably, avoiding conflict. But maybe it's hero time for him. Will he come soon to aid the weak?

Alright, it's time for the fall turn. It's a pivotal moment for anyone now, especially Bowser, with two territories to defend from Guppy's hermit crab army! Madness will soon begin!

No stories from anyone. :(

So here's mine:

Guppy is showing himself to be more and more of a threat as he, with the help of Boo, takes Bowser's warp pipe without resistance. Donkey Kong forces a retreat for the six-strong Wario, but at the same time, Wario sends half of his forces to combat the king of Kongo Jungle. Mario makes a move towards the warp pipe while Donkey Kong sends a unit there himself. Yoshi reclaims his house, and hopes for it to last as Guppy speeds away. All the way to the west, there is a stand-off between Yoshi, Mario and Guppy. Who will break it first? Mario has made the first move to do so. As it is, Mario, Bowser, and Donkey Kong withheld the use of their abilities. Mario has to wait until next spring to be able to activate his abilities. But it seems with Donkey Kong's help, Mario may not ever need to use a super mushroom, as he is making gains just as well as anyone else.

Mario stood at the edge of the field. He could see the feral swordfish off at the coast, resting. He knew it was just a matter of time before that fish came to get him, along with all the other fish in the sea.
He opened a portal to Peaches Castle, where his generals were, and ordered the rousing of one group of militia from the peasants around the castle, and for a whale to be captured off the coast of Donut Plains, to begin the necessity that is war.

Donkey Kong Country (Thungbard)

Fleet in Cotton Top Cove (build)
Army in Chimp Caverns (build)

So Boo reveals himself on the warp pipe (so he didn't get very far). Wario builds three armies, waging a land war perhaps on both his northern and southern fronts. Yoshi sends a spear shy guy to attempt to defend his country. Will he prevail, or will Yoshi, like last time, fall first?
Guppy, Wario, Yoshi, and Boo have all used their abilities already, but Bowser, Mario, and Donkey Kong have been saving theirs. Is next turn the time to unleash their powers, or will they continue to use restraint? Will Mario go super-mushroom and take all he can from Donkey Kong? Will Donkey Kong start throwing bananas, sending all opponents slipping away from him? Will Bowser heat things up and rain down fire upon his enemies? These are uncertain times, and I am quite uncertain as to what will happen next. Let's find out!

Mario walked up to the sand bank, and picked up a rock. He looked out to sea - already he could see Yoshi's hideous Puffafish o' War was floating, just waiting for some innocent young lady for them to kidnap. It was his duty, nay, his honour, to protect Peach and her two sisters. So, he decided to send off Peach's sister Pear off to go with his navy. He sent Cheri off to stay with the army of Toads. They were a bit rough, but Cheri could handle herself. But Peach would stay with him.
He threw the rock out to sea and began trekking the coastline.

Yoshi's Island (wmlawman)

As the seasons turn, fall approaches and the waters grow cold. Tired from fun in the sun, splashing and playing, Yoshi and his pals prepare to swim ashore for some rest during the long winter's nights. Yoshi swims from the Jungle Puddle to the Fiery Stronghold. (Mmm, nice and toasty!)(resolved) The Floppsy Fish in Lots O' Jellyfish, grateful not to be stung, swims to Penguin Land (bounced). Finally, the Floppy Fish in Yoshi Falls swims to the Rocky Road Coast. (resolved)

SUCCESS!! No NMR's! No retreats, so we'll go straight to the build 1981.

As the battle for Mario World unfolds, Guppy shows his true speed as he blitzes Yoshi's house, turning it light blue. Mario's expansion continues unimpeded as well, and Bowser is the only one going for the islands in the northeast. Bowser continues to turn Boo's territory red as he goes along. Wario grabs three supply centers, making him a good deal more powerful. What I still can't tell is who is allied with who?! Nothing clear has been coming up in that area, so we'll just have to sit and wait until next year for most of you to show your true colors.



The builds are as follows:

Wario (Tooth1066)--3 builds
Donkey Kong (Thungbard)--2 builds
Mario (jstott)--2 builds
Guppy (The Doctor)--2 builds
Bowser (coolcam262)--2 builds
Boo (Firestorm94)--1 build
Yoshi (wmlawman)--1 build

Mario World II 1981 results!

No bounces, as expected. Although after this turn it looks like chaos could erupt quickly near the Bowser/Wario/Boo borders.

Boo disappears as Wario and Guppy speed off to their destinations. Yoshi uses his ability to move on land and water quickly, while Mario, Bowser and Donkey Kong reserve the use of their abilities.

The alliances are tricky to guess at, if there even are any alliances. There is still much to be discovered here, as this is only the first turn of the game!

Yoshi's Island (wmlawman)

Ah, spring. A time for exploration. And since it's generally hot out, at least in the later part of the season, Yoshi and his friends have decided to take a swim. Yoshi has jumped into the JUNGLE PUDDLE (resolved). The Floppy Fish in Watermelon Grove swims into YOSHI FALLS (resolved). The Floppy Fish in Burt the Bashful's Fort swims into LOTS O' JELLYFISH (and hopes he doesn't get stung) (resolved, and sting-free!).

Mushroom Kingdom (jstott)

Mario gazed across the fields that brought forth donuts unto Mario Kingdom, and uttered a sigh. He could hear the bongo drums of war sounding over in Donkey Kong Country, and screams of terror as Yoshi perfected his final experiments that will lead him to world domination. Mario questioned his psychic brother on what path he should take, and Luigi merely said "The widest path is not always the wisest path". With that advice, Mario made his decision, and called his generals into his chambers. "Men", he said, "We have a war to begin"
