Welp, critical scheduling failure on my part, no update... again. Sorry guys. I keep messing up lately. Anyways, here's a consolation Q&A. Also, I've been randomly thinking of doing an in-character Ask Me Anything in the forge thread of DTG 2, found here
, so if you decide you'd like to ask some of my characters silly questions, feel free to pop over. Anyways, enough shameless plugging for now. Time for a Q&A that is the least I owe you.
@herobrine: pillow's attempt to attack the grox battleship spawned it.
Well, that wasn't very much. Anyways, I'm sorry guys for missing the update.

I open up a wormhole that sends out a red matter explosive. I shoot it into the space whale. A red matter explosive is pretty much a black hole in a bomb, I just hpe the glitchiness of the whale won't make this backfire.

The less you think about it, the more it works.
As I snipe the mobs, I "feel" the Godmodder and another player are nearby. Thus, I shoot another attack to keep the mobs busy, and I run to the direction I felt the Godmodder's presence (which means wherever they are).

Is doing a charged attack that involves things appearing (but then vanishing) the turn of attack a summon, an artifact, or just straight-up an attack?

Hi, everyone. I'm perhaps joining a bit late, and while I haven't read all 250 pages of this thread I'll hopefully be able to participate. If I do anything wrong or against the rules, please point it out so I can correct it. Okay, here goes, if I overdo it please comment and I'll wrote something slightly less over the top...
A hooded figure in a green cloak suddenly materializes in Orbit in the vacuum of Space. Around his shoulder is a golden bow, and in his belt a sword. The stranger exclaims: "Finally, I knew, I shouldn't have uploaded myself onto cyberspace on a dial-up connection". As the figure finally casts off any last doubt regarding going into battle, he slowly starts looking around watching the utter chaos that permeates the place. "We have to do something lest T Vtropes is destroyed to the detriment of everyone..."
Now, equipping his bow and drawing its strings he starts chanting an incarnation: "I, the Conqueror of Chaos and Cosmos, crimson ether dancing in the abyss of time to my tune, distorting the liberation of our world and leading to crimson madness. Manifest thyself, power incarnate, thine form baring its fangs against angstly providence. Temporal madness. Come fourth and show thyself and lend me your strength, TEMPUS AD INFINITUM!" As the last words echo through cosmos a mighty glowing and pulsing arrow of raw temporal energy manifests on the string of the bow. Taking in one last breath the stranger begins aiming at a distant spot on the sun that aligns with the direction of the Grox Battleship; "Bingo" he says and fires the arrow. As the arrows flies through space at the speed of light, anything it comes into contact with begins to age.
Staring into space the Stranger thinks: "If this arrow hits the spot it will cause the sun to rapidly age in that area, severely shortening the solar cycle at that spot. And quickly and surely the sun will start continually spewing fourth solar flares and coronal mass ejections in the direction of Grox Battleship. Perhaps this is a bit reckless, but we've already crossed the Godzilla Thresshold a long time ago..."
"Now, Grox Battleship, let's see how you handle the power of the electromagnetic spectrum. The mere changes in the magnetic field in orbit should tamper with your ability to effectively use electric equipment and mount a response!"

okay... so I'm noticing that we have several people who aren't able to post every day. I'd try to drop update rate to once every two days, but that would slow things down to a crawl since I can't do two posts worth of update in one day (so sorry herobrine, no. I had to end that practice because it takes me too long to update as it is.) If anyone has any ideas that might help out the people who are having a hard time getting their post in, I'd like to hear them.
Sorry herobrine, there isn't a single place that you can go to. The wiki is still very patchy, and misses almost everything that was established earlier on, and the majority of more recent things as well, since we have two people who work on it regularly, and stuff keeps happening. @solar: a straight-up attack. Occasionally it might get twisted into a summon, but not very often.
@tartar: welcome to the game! And you'll be fine, I'll let you know if you do anything wrong. If you see this before the update tonight, might want to go back and edit the post. First off, destroying the Sun would be almost as disruptive to the pantheon as the Glitch is right now, and even then, it'd probably set off the OP scale first. I'd recommend toning it down a little. But that was a pretty impressive first post though.

@pionoplayer17th Okay, I went back and changed the post so that it doesn't destroy the solar system... Hopefully its better this time.
On a sidenote, could you explain to me the concept of "charging up attack"?
I reject the shackles that bind this flesh to the earth that many others so willingly cling onto
ERROR! DOES NOT EXIST!
@piono From experience, there is no feasible way to fix the solution without slowing the game down to a crawl. I'd say just carry on as usual. This is really just a problem with the format that can't be solved, sadly.
ERROR! EXPLOSION IMMINENT!
pantheocidal maniac
Welcome, comrade Tartar! Now, before anything else, I wish to ask you: did you name yourself after the condiment or the steppe nomads?
Ok, enough joking. here's the rough idea on the "charging up attacks" thing: You notice how many of your gameplay posts include, at some point, a pair (or similar number) of fractions, usually accompanied by a name: for example:
Flying fortress: 56/90 or 23/30 goomba horde .
These are charges.I assume you understand the basic mechanics behind them, but if not I will give a more detailed explanation later.
Most of use use them as Summon Magic to call down entities and equipment to aid us, however they can be used as attacks too. Until you deploy it, a charge is just a number; while charging an attack and an entity are mechanically identical. The difference is that when you finish charging an entity, something pops up to the fight, while when you finish charging an attack, you, well... do an attack/ action.
Remember, Charged atttacks require descriptions as usual, preferably detailed ones, especially for high charges. Now, no matter how much flavour text you use, normal attacks have limited power, <10 000 HP of damage. Charged attacks can do much more. If I recall correctly, a rough formula is (1000*total charge) HP, with higher charged also having a better chance of critical hits and other extra effects. general RP rule: if you want to pull some sort of really extravagant attack (e.g. orbital BFG, massive Herd-Hitting Attack ice storm, etc.), it ain't gonna work unless you charge it.
The names of the electrical charges really ought to be swapped. It is just DUMB that the place with MORE electrons is NEGATIVELY charged.

@ paradisedj3217th
Thanks for the through answer. My username can be interpreted in two ways, firstly as the culture of people called the Tartars (who were once steppe nomads as you guessed) and the second way is to read it as a warrior from Tartaros.
But back to the question at hand. Do I specifically have to use the whole post charging up an attack, and thus not be able to attack or take any action? An example being "I use my whole round muttering random incantations" for 10-20 consecutive rounds? Or can something like my previous post be a charge in and of itself, if I claim that using an attack is part of a ritual to do X? And thus are charges are just resources generated by posting?

The bound soul
"You can charge up two charges, assist three charges that are not yours, order your entities to perform actions, and do a 'free action' all in the space of a single round"
Well that's not an exact quote but that's the general gist of how each post works.
see those 3+ ones things? that means those are free assists you can claim. Each round you can increase all charges by one(you have a maximum of two charges being charged at any particular time.) claim an essentially unlimited number of assists as long as they have not been claimed, and you cannot claim more than two assists from any single person. each assist increases the charge count by an additional 'one'

I admit, I was pretty much expecting Rocket Warrior to get nope'd (even if my in-game character wasn't), but I honestly had to read through the last update two or three times just to figure out what happened with it.
Let's see if I can't do something to that Enderdragon. "Draw! And now, I activate Pot of Greed. Let's see what I've got here..." That'll do. "I activate the Field Spell, Mausoleum of the Emperor. And by paying 2000 Life Points, I can Normal Summon this monster without Tributing monsters. Say hello to Fiendish Engine Omega! I'll have it use its effect to give itself an extra 1000 attack points, and... Fiendish Engine! Attack the Enderdragon!" (Standard action.)
The countdown counts down. (Final Countdown: 14/20.)

Q&A: @tartar: yeah, that's definitely better. @paradise: thanks for explaining it to him, I would've done a poor job. @djkates: Sorry if it was confusing. @tazz: do not feel bad, I'd planned the holy mackerel explosion, but I'd planned it for the glitch hub. You just rescued wyld and tabbune from having to take one that in addition to Sonic and Metal Sonic. Backstory: one of pillow's earlier actions was summoning the holy mackerel, which (for a reason I can't remember) began mercilessly self-duplicating. Eventually it was gotten rid off, but one of them Glitched out of existence rather than being properly disposed of, so here it is now. @moo: oh! I feel stupid! I didn't even notice your post before! Welcome to DTG! @laitome: okay, the glyph armor: will not make you immune to Glitch, nor will it cure it, but it can be another Glitch-resistant artifact. That really is a bit over-the-top... But the stat-based fights are pretty much over now, so I guess its okay.
.
Herobrine projects the illusion of being attacked onto Rayquaza. Rayquaza, of course, freaks out, and begins circling around the Grox Battleship, preparing to attack it. What I'll need you to do is keep them off of the glitch anchor. If they bust the Glitch while I'm in the middle of trying to commandeer it, its gonna hurt. Speaking of which... We're here. The godmodder and ohboy step off of the disk on the edge of the glitch hub. Before leaving, Bill uses Providence on Gcat, not dealing damage, but leaving it vulnerable.
Tazz bends over, trying to entice Gcat with the Holy Mackerel Beta... Gcat looks at it, and although still woozy from Bill's attack, recognizes something. It looks up at Tazz, opens it mouth and... suddenly the entire valley is being flooded by a rapidly expanding pile of glitched-out holy mackerel. Tazz lands on one of the adjacent cliffs, having been exploded outwards by the force of its sudden appearance, and looks sideways at the holy mackerel beta in dismay. Gcat took a bite out of the head anyways... I guess it didn't... And then there is an explosion from underneath the pile. Seems Gcat didn't get off completely free. Anyways, massive, growing pile of holy mackerel spawned.
cow joins in, and just sits on the edge of the valley, watching the chaos. Tabbune begins protecting wyld with his shards of ice. Amp charges straight through the Grox fighters, spraying out missiles every which way, which prevents him from being taken down. But when he slams into it, his arm begins Glitching, which is a very painful thing. He recoils, watching as the Glitch slowly crawls up his arm. Might wanna do something about that. The attack does succeed in dealing 5000 damage to the battleship.
Wyld whips out a flamethrower, revs it up, and fires it... a high-powered stream of water comes out. It successfully strikes the incoming blur though, knocking the Glitched Metal Sonic for a loop. Metal Sonic Glitches back into a standing position, and disappears with another flash of blue light. Solar uses an AoE attack. This succesfully destroys several hundred mackerels. Which is effectively nothing. He manages to rescue a fish-oil slathered page though. Jindra calls up a cyclone of spinning blade, helping to protect people as everyone backs out of the way of the expanding pile of Glitchy fish.
Shiny, while picking up a page of zbse's book, looks around for Sora. Sora is nowhere to be found. There is no sign of him in his temple, nor is there any sign of where he's gone. Paradise ignites the air. Yum, Glitch mackerel flambe. Zbse, in his attempt to poke the Gcat, is almost covered in fish. He is luckily able to get out from under the pile before he gets Glitched at all. Ichigo heals Saren for 7000 health, who unloads lots of biotic blasts. No planning at all gets done, as everyone is forced to relocate to the edges of the valley by the pile of fish.
Chaos is unable to whack Gcat, as there are fish in the way. Laitome groans in frustration as the holy mackerel foil his attempt to figure out Gcat's attack pattern. Fseftr fires a SAM at the terror enderdragon, dealing 8000 damage. Jondanger throws dynamite at Gcat. This completely fails to get through the fish. Engie fires the onager into the terror enderdragon, dealing 50000 damage, and punching a hole through one of its still intact wings. Math begins the dark macarena. Sadly, Gcat is so far buried in fish that it fails to reach the cat.
Pillow fires red matter explosives into the space whale, successfully removing it from the fight before it can do anything detrimental. Coolstar looks for glitch-proof Christmas tree spray. It seems there is not Glitch-proof anything spray. Darkness generically shoots the terror enderdragon for 5000 damage, and then begins running off in the direction of the godmodder... Actually, he's way far ahead. That journey would take forever under normal circumstances. He does see something however... Remilia's almost here.
Tartar equips his bow... And then the Glitching of physics kicks in, and the arrow goes completely in the wrong direction, blowing up a random asteroid somewhere out beyond Jupiter. The fiendish engine attacks the terror enderdragon, dealing 5000 damage before being smashed to pieces. Saren and the terror enderdragon exchange fire, dealing 100K damage to each other. Everyone else just looks at each other, uncertain as to what to do about the giant pile of fish. Remilia arrives, the massive pile of Glitchy fish being the first thing she sees on the battlefield. Delphinus reaches the Glitch hub, tabbune and wyld slowly move towards the fighter, and Rayquaza fires several energy blasts, destroying more of seemingly endless grox fighters.

Manipulating the illusion, I then begin steering our lord and celestial savior Rayquaza through the Grox Fighters at the Grox Battleship.
Finally, with the coup de grace, I pull out a TM containing Dragon Ascent and teach it to Rayquaza.
This triggers Rayquaza's Mega Evoluton and sends the Weather God into Uber-status for one turn.
I then make a prayer to the RNG god that Rayquaza uses Dragon Ascent at the Grox Battleship.
