Battleship v2: A New War - War 1, Round 2 - 29/06/2017

[Lone_Garurumon]

@Zexy OH MY GOD! When did you say I2? I2's suppose to be a hit. Oh god how long ago was that? I'll let you re-do that last move with this new info. Oh god we've gone through so many posts I'm sorry.

@Lone_Garurumon I2 was a while ago. Don't worry, I don't mind the delay since I figured out this ship anyway.
H2, of course.

@Zexy well, you sunk that ship too, just one left, and you'll probably find it pretty quick too.
G1 though?

@Lone_Garurumon Oh cool, so I'm only looking for a 4-slot! Yeah this isn't going to take long.
G1 is a hit. D5?

@Zexy yeah, not long at all. But I'll be DAMNED if I'm not takin' as much as I can down with me!
That said, D5 is a miss.
How about H1?

For now you did manage to sink a 3-slot.
E6?

@Zexy Noooooo! You found it! Ah well, it's still 3 more turns minimum until you win.
I shall guess I2!

[Zexy]

@Lone_Garurumon But the maximum is 5, and your shot here was a miss, and the rest of my ships take 6 slots too so I've already locked the game. Good game!
Let's still play it out though. F6?

[Lone_Garurumon]

@Zexy Not so, you could fail on 3 sides of the ship, or overshoot in one direction, the actual, true maximum from your last post is 7. I'm still (concieveably) in this! I mean, not really anymore, since that's a miss, so now the max is 5.
Aaaaaaanyway... How's E6 lookin'?

[Zexy]

@Lone_Garurumon I could only fail on two sides, I'd never hit D6 before F6. Overshoot is the same as failing that direction, so I had 2 possible side fails + 3 hits I have to do = 5.
E6 is a miss too so you may not even have the time to take down the fourth, sorry.
E7?

[Lone_Garurumon]

@Zexy even if it's unlikely, you still need to take all potential variables into account when defining an upper maximum. And hey, I could still find that 2-long somewhere.
That said, I'll now guess J7.

[Zexy]

@Lone_Garurumon This wasn't unlikely, it was in theory impossible since it's strictly a suboptimal move compared to anything else. Shooting D6 before F6 was a confirmed hit is as impossible as shooting a random spot far away from the ship. So either we don't take it into account or the true upper maximum is the entire board.
And yeah you did get a hit so it is possible. E8?

@Lone_Garurumon Oh well, this was the final act of unluckiness. You missed there and couldn't get the 2-slot (J8) in time.
*cutscene; dramatic music plays*
And suddenly Zexy appeared on the battlefield, as big as a megazord, and wielding the hammer of the gods mods. As the hammer was struck by lightning, Zexy yelled "IT'S HAMMER TIME!" and hit E4 with it.

@Zexy
Lone's final ship was not simply sunk, it was absolutely decimated as it was struck by the mighty hammer. Lone's entire fleet had fallen, and he was no longer able to fend off the vicious attack of Zexy's army. And this was how the Kingdom of Garunia fell, conquered by the tyrannical Lord Zexy.

GG man. @Maniacal Engineer our game's officially over, and Zexy is the winner.
You may add me to the subs list for potential later replacements.

[Zexy]

Really good game @Lone_Garurumon thanks for it all. We used similar strategies, you just happened to be much more unlucky... and not hit the around the edges enough, 4 of my ships were there (the 4-slot was in A row). It was also quite entertaining with the post exchanges.

jdthebud and Slife, best of luck with your match. I'm waiting for one of you in the final!
Will WE, Wannabe Engineer, battle against an engineering graduate (although I'm studying marine engineering so I've got the advantage in this battlefield over pure mechanical )
Or will I GO against my fellow mod in GO? (who happens to also be an engineering student, and we have an engineer host too lol this final will be about engineering )

*grabs a bag of popcorn, sits comfortably, and watches the other semi-final unfold*

Congratulations @Zexy!

You better kick their butt for me man.
