Phase I of the 2nd Season of The Vagabonds has now officially ended.
Over the last 16 (or so) days have I presented eight original paintings of mine, the game being that anybody could determine the presented character with a unique first name, a random positive trait, a random negative trait and a random Profession along with a superpower/weapon/artefact of his/her choice.
That phase has now ended, but before moving on to the new phase, let me first present to you the eighth Vagabond, and what her final outcome was. And let me tell you that up till now, it was a very, very fun game to host, it was a pleasure every time to see so many people coming back to play this little, weird, zany game, thank you, thank you!
Now then, then now! This was the eighth painting; the last Vagabond finished Phase I very much in style with a record-breaking 16 entries! Thank you, everybody, for joining in, there were again some weird and wicked combinatons made, here they all are:

Mutia, the Allmighty but Tiresome Heretic with her Sword of Death by @lintah! Congrats!
So here is the final line-up of the eight Vagabonds:
)Now for Phase II!
These Vagabonds will now randomly be pitched against each other in contests/games/fights/sports. The winner goes through to the next round, until we have a final winner. You can call him/her the Ultimate! Vagabond.
Which ones will be pitched against each other? The dice will determine which Vagabonds will have to play/fight/compete against each other.
Winner goes through to the next round? We will start with 4 quarter-finals, the winners of every quarter-final will go through to 2 semi-finals, and the winners there will advance to the final, which will determine the overall-winner.
Which contests/games/fights/sports will they compete? That's where you decide, in this very post! Make a comment with up to three (four if you're really inspired!) sports/contests/games/fights that could be played/fought/won. Preferably one-on-one contests, not group-sports!
It could be a game (Chess/Backgammon/Monopoly, ...), a sport (Golf, Boxing, High-Jump, ...), a battle (World War II, Waterloo, Lepanto, ...), a fight (a direct one-on-one Pirate-fight, a 1927 Mobster-Chicago gun-shoot-out, ... ), or anything really (first-to-the-sea-race, tic-tac-toe, rock-paper-scissors, stacking dominoes, ...)
I will put all suggestions in one big list and let the battle be decided for every quarter-final, semi-final, and final randomly.
The first quarter-final will begin tomorrow, and will be open for entries for 24 or 48 hours, depending on my available time and number of entries.
Also, every game (Q-F, S-F, Final) will be determined by your comment. Every battle/competition will have two Vagabonds competing with their strength (the chosen positive trait) and weakness (the negative trait) and their respective super-power.
In the games, you can decide how the battle ensues, who's victorious and how or why you feel, according to how you interpret their respective powers/weaknesses. But that's for the next post.
For now, give me fun games/sports/fights/competitons in which these Vagabonds can compete against each other! Thank you!
I really hope I made myself clear, if you have any questions - I'm happy to answer them :)
Let's make this a fun and interactive play!
They could play 'Paintball'. The vagabond with the most hits on their opponent would win.
They could hang-glide. The one who jumps off the highest mountain could be the winner. Or maybe you could think of a funner way to win.
Paintball and Hang-glide are excellent suggestions, thanks!
And I will let players comment on how the Vagabonds fight it out, first quarter-final coming this evening! :)
oooohhh... hang-gliding through the mists of Niflheim... that sounds adventurous!
Yeah, I was never any good at it because you need long legs to run fast and I'm small. Vagabonds could do it if Marty gives them wings :)
What about a good old fencing fight? Or a round of karaoke?
Or the Vagabonds could be fighting for the last boats on the Titanic.
Thank you for the game so far @marty-art! I have a lot of fun playing it :)
Yes! Thanks, great suggestions!
Fencing, Karaoke and fighting for the last boat on the Titanic, awesome one :D
ah dang... great ideas... karaoke sounds fun and the titanic challenge is intense... can't wait for the latter one to happen in the matches :D
I have been (w)racking my brains trying to come up with one or more games. So here's one:
Some more, suitable for vagabonds with super powers:
These are brilliant, a shame there won't be enough games to test them all! Thanks!
Now then, then now... let me think of a few stand-off contests:
But I am not sure if this works for your game, though. Here you win by giving up first and thenceforth both players lose at all matches.
Yes, thanks for reading more than what's in bold!
Great suggestions! Blinking game and Cuddling competition are in!Not sure if I understand "Who gives up first" :P
Meta-Vagabonds really takes it to the next level! :D
Thanks!
Yeah... "Who gives up first" is a stupid game because everyone is always a looser... dunno... these lost souls in Niflheim have a weird way of passing time.
Meta-Vagabonds on the other hand... You'd be rolling the dice to determine a dice roll... that totally makes sense and always resolves in a single iteration... it's the singularity event of this series... think about it!
when to start the next game
In about 10 hours from this comment. Won't be the same as Phase 1!
hold the second what step there is his step
New game is online, exactly 10 hours after my comment -- just like I hoped I would manage :D
https://steemit.com/painting/@marty-art/vagabonds-interactive-paintings-s2-quarterfinal-1-shelly-vs-eloise
The Vagabonds now enters a shoot-out stage, or a playoffs round as in basketball, or sudden-death as in football, check it out, it's going to be very interactive :)
I know marty writes a lot and not everything immediatly makese sense... but I promise, the answer you are looking for is in his post already!
I will try to give you one exciting game that is Clash of Cleans (COC) where the player is our own and some friends who always prepare the greatest troops when the time comes to war and will make a defense to welcome the enemy or the opponent.
reading more than just the last sentence is always good.
it helps to leave comments that don't just appear engaged but actually do contribute to the post.
Sorry, I'm not seeing how this would work. Actually, I didn't get any of that. Read the post again?
Game Mobile Lagend
Mobile Legends is a MOBA type mobile device game developed and published by Moonton.
Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm not seeing that working. I wrote
Also, this is fiction... We're not actually going to play these. It's about coming up with ideas how these fictional Vagabonds would fight eachother in a fictional environment/battle/situation. Hope that makes it a bit clearer!
really... you want the Vagabonds to play a MoBa game.
Well, why not :P But I have a feeling you simply only read the last bold sentence...
