Actions aimed at "surviving targets"
last edited by
I often write turns where, theoretically, if everything works out, I'll wipe the entire virus group off the map at the end. Then I still have actions left, so I write in that I take one last shot and aim it "at whatever survives." I recognize that this might seem lazy to mods, but I can't think of a better way to express my intentions. Simply, if I want to finish the battle that very round, I don't think it's unrealistic to throw some overkill into the mix just to mop up in case something misses.

This is neither a suggestion nor a question.

Allow me to make it one, then.
"Is it okay to do this? Or do some mods think it comes off as cheap, lazy, or out-and-out stupid, etc? And does anyone have a better alternative for turns like these?"

I would still aim for the ones most likely to survive rather than say "attack survivors". Just because you launch low accuracy attacks at a virus and you think it should be dead doesn't mean it will be.
If you manage to deal out enough damage to kill every virus on the field twice over, you should spend some turns dodging so you're less likely to be hit by desperation attacks.
If your RP was good and you weren't a jerk or being cocky or whatever, excess attacks often just get redirected to surviving viruses anyways.

Totally agree. Sometimes you just can't tell what viruses will survive, but as long as you do a good job RPing an "attack
