Squishyfrog Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Squishy was sitting. An intense heat blasted upon him, causing him to melt away into a local kid's ice cream cone. The kid unknowingly ate him, and Squishy wound up in his large intestine. Somehow. Anyway.But a BIG BURP blasted Squishy out and flung him across the canyon. Things felt different. Somehow. Anyway.

- JL - Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 OOC: Are we allowed to have 3 new special weapons and disregard our old ones? I've been wanting to do this.====Beano walked around blue base, where there lacked a mechanical body and a storage unit. Strange. Beano remembered things to be a little. Who cares. Maybe this time it will be different. He walked around Blue base, ignored the teleporter, and walked towards the middle of BG, or whatever it was called now. Hemorrhage? Meh. He found Junkyard standing there, and used his Kakama to get behind him in less than 1 second. He punched a really hard punch, gutting Junkyard.Beano: NO FROGS!

The Great Spirit DM Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I don't really like the "statistic" idea. It just doesn't work well. Next thing you know our powers and weapons will be re-examined.Though I am glad that I get to choose three instead of none. I don't like most of these changes. We usually knew about how powerful our weapons are supposed to be; we really didn't need to be told. I like ToD's idea. I say we have a limit on special weapons in a modifier. For example, for one round we may have all of them, for another just two or something like that. The stats and the limits just are outside of the spirit of the game.Well, that's how I see it. Fine, I won't call the recently added members of the game noobs. NujaniiNujanii appeared. Not much else to say. He waited for someone else to hit him.

Squishyfrog Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Squishy fell asleep AGAIN and some dude was trying to EAT HIM. Marvelous, just marvelous. At least Beano saved him. Or was it Beano? Wait, who was this "Beano"? Squishy felt like his life had been completely reset not ten hours ago. So, scratch "Beano", Squishy would call this guy "Dude with beans who saved my life who I thought was named Beano for some reason but is not because his name is this from now on okay". Or, "DWBWSMLWITWNBFSRBINBHNITFNOO", for short. Deciding to thank him, Squishy made a biiiiiiiiiiiig fire-breathing, lava-spewing and all around pyromaniac flower to love and cuddle him. Or whatever it did, like crush his spinal column or snap his neck or eat his brain or-- No! These thoughts that Squishy were having... they were violent. Terribly, terribly violent. Squishy fought the urge to think them, yet they were so amazing and attractive. He wanted to stop, he wanted to stop so badly...But apparently he wanted to think them more. So he did, with crushing cackles cascading from his mouth while crusading clowns crippled camera crew men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squishyfrog Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Squishy found a new name for a new person: "Annoying guy who randomly punches me in the shoulder just because he thinks he's cool or something and I seem to think his name was Nujanii but it's not because his name is this", or "AGWRPMITSJBHTHCOSAISTTHNWNBINBHNIS", for short. Then, a bean. A singular, solitary bean. It grazed Squishy's toe and looked like it bounced towards AGWRPMITSJBHTHCOSAISTTHNWNBINBHNIS' shin, but whatever. Growling at the very prospect of being attacked, nonetheless twice, Squishy started to whirl that strange, heavy ball with three equally obscure holes in the top that had appeared in his hand when he appeared in this land. Or a bowling ball, whatever you want to call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiMing Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 JiMing found himself in the middle of nowhere with people battling each other. He knew he was supposed to fight them, and he knew he had weapons to do so."Alright, here's my first move." he said as he used his Gale Spear (he didn't know how he knew it's name) to create a tornado spinning across the area.

- JL - Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) The solitary bean turned into a massive beanstalk, vines whipping out, all curling around Squishy, blocking him from movement. He saw a tornado flying towards him. Using his Kakama, he jumped into it, ran in circles at massive speeds, whipping it up while not sustaining damage, and rammed into the beanstalk where Squishy was, then, as he completely ripped out the air, compressed the plants insides, he also smashed into Nujanii. As he slowed down his running, he turned towards JiMing and thanked him.

- JL - Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Beano got rammed into - he fell into a cave. He got a handful of water from the cave, ran out, and splashed it on Nujanii. Then, he created a beanstalk to grip him and hold him in with limited air. Then, he got more water and poured it in a small opening, which closed later. Nujanii then had nothing to breath and nothing to see. More detail is not better.

For example, the Reignbringer would gain the ability to control stone and grow to massive proportions.And don't make it a modifier, make it something that's always constant (except for maybe bossfights).

Voltex Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I already said you can only use two special weapons per round. You guys seem split on the Special Weapons issue; since MoC1 is co-host, I'll check and see his thoughts on it. I did this because people have wanted to upgrade, and this allows me to have a bit of an easier time watching the game.As for the Boss Battle, I make no promises. And I have two people I'm considering for the boss- I'm not sure how happy you guys will be if I choose one, but I think I'd enjoy it. As for detail being bad, I don't see how; I'm not saying you have to begin describing your actions so much that they become the next book in Lord of the Rings, but one-liner posts often don't add much. The special weapons stats are a way for me to begin limiting the number of special weapons people have; instead of having seven or eight special weapons, you might have three or four very powerful special weapons, which is easier for me to keep track of.I'm also considering handing out special weapons designed by myself again, as I have ideas of "sets" that would have bonuses when used together.-ibrow is this the end?

The Great Spirit DM Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I say we need no stats. THe special weapons are (or were) fine. The issue is that, while ToD, BZPP and I have five special weapons, a new player (see, I can abstain from the term "noob") would have none. What we need is a modifier where we limit the numbers of special weapons that may be used in that round. Furthermore, I want the modifier to be an inconsistent thing. Some times no special weapons, somethimes few, sometimes many, occasionally all. I do thing though that we ought to have most of the time around 2-4 special weapons only. I think it should be our choice to have many weak special weapons or a few powerful ones. We need no stats; we have a general idea of how powerful our sw's are anyway.NujaniiNujanii hit the next person to post IC with a conveniently placed sign.

- JL - Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 @Nujanii, what you don't understand is with stats, we have far more powers. Upgrade them, we get more and more powers that soon we can have control of over 3 elements. Also, Noob does not equal to a new player, although the community thinks so. I also like stats because instead of simply trying to dominate, we have more things to get, such as...better stats.====Unfortunately, no one used IC yet so Beano summoned a M.O.A.B, AKA Massive Ordnance Aerial Bean, to strike everyone on the battlefield.

The Great Spirit DM Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ah, but you see, with the stats, we get control of an element or mask power or something and as we get better stats that power's strength is increased. However, with the previous system, we don't upgrade the strength of the powers (Unless otherwise stated) but instead increase the range of powers, with an unlimited (within reason) number of upgrades, since the new abilities don't increase the strength of those already there.NujaniiNujanii had posted in character.
