The Gamers: Hands of Fate Page #4

I knew you had it in you.

you're being a bit of a dick

come on, we gotta get you signed up

keep working on that!

yes my master!

ok

today's all about placing high enough in the Swiss

that you advance to the elimination rounds

that's where the real fight begins

but first we gotta get your deck logged in the...

are you even listening?

oh Fortuna...

hey Natalie!

hey wenchhead!

remember me? I'm the guy who's gonna put your king on the throne

right!

only it's queen

and.. oh dear god you thought I was serious

I expect that date when I win

awesome why's a bowling team here?

so full disclosure

my tazer's not actually legal in the states had to send away for it to Singapore

I'm detecting a hint of negativity

it's a.. it's you!

from... right! yeah!

displaced military switch tacs yeah!

you're telling me he plays?

are you joking?

oh my gosh, he's awesome well...

you lasted what like nine cards against the Meach?

9 cards, yeah

they got a lot to say don't they?

have you recruited him yet?

ah... why no she has not tell me more

oh man, check it

so a bunch of us story players formed

an alliance

to take down the legacy, and...

keep questing in the game.

we're gonna get the best anti-starvation deck into the finals

whether it's ours or somebody else's

isn't that great?

oh check it, even we got buttons!

buttons, wheeee!

wait, wait, so...

it's an alliance to lose?

clearly nothing that you would be interested in

it's an alliance to win

as a team

oh sh*t, like NASCAR?

and we'd love to have you man

ah...

here's the thing...

I'm trying to wrangle a date with ginger smack over there

Natalie? yes and I can't do that

unless I get her monarch ass down on the god head seat so...

I have to win

just gimme the damn button

I wanted to thank everyone for making nine empires the game it is today

you know 15 years ago when we started this people told us

we were crazy for making a card game where the players could influence the story

and, well, they were right

but here we still are

and here's your head writer for nine empires: Penelope Chalk

The fate of the world lies in your hands brothers and sisters

in 3 days time we will crown our new monarch

until then

we cry havoc! HAVOC!

cry havoc! HAVOC!

let slip the dogs of war!

it's a dollar per roll

or 7 for five, but you have to roll

and you only get a kiss on the cheek if you roll a 20

otherwise, it's a chocolate kiss

so 1.4 rolls per dollar at the wholesale rate

with a 5% chance of return will yield a total

bulk value of approximately $14.25 per kiss

so, here...

is five hundred dollars

you owe me 35 kisses

it's for charity

come here come here

badges please

there's so much cool stuff here

oh that's really nifty

there's so much going on

CHIBI CHAN!

CHIBI CHIBI CHIBICHAN CHIBI CHAAAAAN

CHIBI CHAAAAN:

CHIBI CHAN!

Hey look! CHIBI

I don't have a problem with you man

we can both enjoy the con, ok?

you go your way, and I'll go mine

CHIBI CHAN what the hell did you just say to me?

ah CHIBI.. huh?

CHAN!

you think I'm just gonna stand here and take that, huh?

CHIBI CHAN?

we may have a situation

take it back, take it back

is this man bothering you?

this is no man!

hey, hey hey hey hey

sorry sorry

sorry, our friend's dehydrated

that humidity and air

you guys, totally worth taking those ewoks

I hate ewoks!

CHIBI CHAN:

good game well played

how are you doing this?

were you just pretending not to play?

because I need a pity victory because I'm a girl?

I'm five and one today dude

hey, not what he's thinking

at all

I mean your, eh... you... you...

being elite is not even on his mind right?

you ok? so...

what does it matter if he just learned how to play the game?

he's... what are you today? four and two

he's four and two

do you know what that means? I do. It means that if he

wins the next match we all advance

alright?

that's some go team stuff right there right?

that's why we're here

female

shoo!

you got a pretty mouth

Buxtehude, you are summoned to the queen

It is as I feared war has come to Holden

the dread army of Ixhasa marches against us

at the very least we can stop wondering when they come

the undead are already burning our crops

blading our fields

they aim to starve us out!

if anything we can thank them for using consistent tactics

one mo

what quest awaits us?

to pale mountain?

we need to stop an army not have questions answered

the apple of life then? no one's died

besides we'd never complete it

why wouldn't I complete it?

because they'd never find your body

this card needs to be torn in half to activate the quest reward

it's a rare rare

a Gencon participation card from 98

there were only 500 of these ever printed

just slide that back in your deck

then where are we bound with the dead at our door?

plague of locusts on your farm

consistent tactics plague of locusts on your other farm

I take the field

turn

here

let's find a most peculiar lamp with all haste

thwarting

with skinny

according to my father's notes the lamp was entombed in the wall

winded old man?

ehhhh you again

I'm... sorry?

you're about to wish for a bountiful harvest to feed your people

and torrential rain to turn your home battlefield to mud

this will stymie the dread army

and buy you enough time to quest for victory, yay...

yeah that sounds good

well?

yes, we'll do that

you actually have to say that you...

we wish for a... bountiful harvest

which is ho in this season and pairs quite nicely with...

torrential rain

and maya for my third

that is a bounty

you're the first guy to knock a legacy player out of the tournament

ok, so, these you can totally redeem for other cards

and this book is a history of the game

ok... so he can play

ok so he can play hell yes he can play!

you lost!

to whom?

who the hell is that?

some punk throwing vintage quests out of Holden

quests? you lost to a quest deck?

fascinating...

your wishes are granted

I thank you

to Holden? oh no need

your enemy has withdrawn

how can you know that?

because...

this is hardly the first time we've done this dance

it's not always the same enemy

and it's not always you or the pair'em

and you are not always victorious

you do usually have the turnip though

ignore him he'd trick you out of your last wish

does this have something to do with this...

sense that I've been living the same moments

over, and over again?

my... you are a perceptive one

excuse us

what are you talking about?

it's hard to say, it's it's...

it's a feeling like a dream you can't quite remember

a sense that we've done it all before

like we're trying to remember the steps to a dance that we can't

quite recall until we're dancing it again

the phrase you're looking for which from a language of

artiste and romance is deja vu

I would know more of this

how to explain...

this realm is locked in a quantum state

your world exists only as possibilities

this encounter is but one of many iterations
