Pizza: 5/5

Suddenly, a sausage pizza appears, unhindered by the laws of time and space. It's still in it's box from Dominos Pizza, and smells delicious.

I immediately eat a slice. (Pizza Slices 7/8) It might boost my morale or something, but it's mostly because I like food.

Meh. might as well collect my charges now.

absurdly powerful sidearm: 26/95 -Jondanger,

Mega mushroom: 1/20

The names of the electrical charges really ought to be swapped. It is just DUMB that the place with MORE electrons is NEGATIVELY charged.

@Everyone: Was gone without internet, but don't worry. I AM STILL HERE and F Na F references blah blah blah.

@Damage: Herobrine, we really need to buff player damage, by a considerable degree, or else Duon will take forever and he's not even the C-Mech that you've implied exists. I say the LOWEST value possible, for an attack reaching the effort of 'I punch X' that is successful, should give 1000 damage, while an attack that has 2-3 relatively creative paragraphs on how one wails upon X should reward 4000 damage, or more. If there are like 10 paragraphs of supreme creativity, reward it accordingly with even bigger damage. Creativity should be the number one force in DTG, and when it isn't, something's wrong.

@Charge: The lack of charge cap honestly bothered me a lot. Sea of the Soul is only 1% an attempt to actually get to 12.5K, it's mostly a joke and a jab to implement a charge cap. Talist's equations effectively add up to a 'soft' charge cap anyways, so really just saying 'no-one can charge beyond here' or just doing what he does is...Mostly irrelevant. I'll leave it up to Herobrine, though.

@Net: I'm not sure you can just feed me additional charge with 1-post charges, that's borderline cheating. I'd say make it 2-post charges to feed me +1 if you're going to do that. Thanks for those big boosts, though. I appreciate it.

   BETA TRIGGER: 7/35    (+1 from Laitome, +1 from Infinity Ryujin, +5 from Net) Sea of the Soul: 38/12,500 (+1 from Jondanger23, +1 from Laitome, +1 from Cobalt Shade, +1 from Infinity Ryujin, +1 from Lord Herobrine the GM, +5 from Netpatham, +1 from Sacred Spirit)

• 1 to Laitome, +1 to Cobalt Shade, +1 to Infinity Ryujin

ALPHA PARTY HAT MANA: 50/100

   THE ALPHA PARTY HAT SHALL EXPEND THE REST OF ITS MANA TO USE A DUAL ATTACK ON PINKY THE MOST IMPERTINENT, SHRIEKING A NOISE SO FOUL THAT EVERYONE QUICKLY DONS EARPLUGS, EXCEPT AN UNLUCKY PEBBLE. THE PEBBLE EXPLODES, COINCIDENTALLY PUSHING A NEARBY BOULDER JUST A FEW INCHES TO THE LEFT, CAUSING IT TO TO FALL UPON DUON. AND THEN IT SHRIEKS AGAIN, CAUSING PINKY TO SUFFER FROM SHOVING A PAIR OF EARPLUGS FURTHER DOWN THE EAR THEN THE INTENDED RANGE WHEN THEY REFLEXIVELY SHOVE EARPLUGS INTO THEIR EARS AT THE SIGHT.   

"OK, this is going to need more work. Hey, Shiny Cotton Candy, or whatever your name is! Uh, sorry for not knowing, but I need your help here! Do you think we could do something here? Have anything on those weird wounds that won't heal in there?"

Just in case I simply have not tried hard enough, I try again, shoving a massive tuba filled with life energy into the central wound, and then getting a magnifying glass to seeing how the healing energy reacts. I'm not a doctor just because I have healing majjyks...There's probably some better way to go about this.

ERROR! EXPLOSION IMMINENT!

@tazz: Its not the damage level thats the issue. Its the ratio of damage to health. Also I very much disagree with the very concept that length of post==creativity and therefore length==power. Flourish (spending extra time simply describing something) shouldn't significantly affect the damage of an attack.

@Tazz and jindra: I staunchly disagree with a direct relation between length of post and attack power, largely because that means that a simple punch could hit for large damage if described with paragraphs of mind-killing Purple Prose, and that an elaborate, clever attack would do less damage if the procedure was bullet-pointed that if it was described in Purple Prose, despite both attacks being the same.

The important thing should not be the amount of text, but the, well, creativity. Specifically, the creativity of the attack, NOT the creativity of the description. Important distinction. FOR EXAMPLE: is a player comes up wit a clever way by which some magical artifact can be jury-rigged into a powerful Agony Beam they should be rewarded for it regardless of how long the description is (so long as it clearly describes a working method, of course), and they most certainly should not deal less damage than the wise guy who spent 4 paragraphs describing an ordinary punch in excruciating detail.

That said, I think that "500 damage for an ordinary attack, 1000 for a "clever" one" is inadequate as a hard rule. It does not give any incentive to be creative beyond what is sufficient for 1000 damage, and if anything falls a wee bit short, all that creativity is wasted. The previous game, under Piono, had a system where excessively generic attacks (e.g. I hit mook#24 with a regular attack) couldn't do more than about 1000 damage, with more creative attacks dealing up to (not exactly) about 3000 damage. And, of course, an attack would fail or deal less damage regardless of creativity if the described action would be ineffective. At the same time, something as simple as "I spray enemy x with a fire hose" would deal alot of damage if "enemy x" is a fire monster weak to water.

In conclusion: I firmly believe that the power of any non-generic action should be based on how one would answer the question "how well would this actually work?".

this leaves one unanswered question that we need Herobrine to answer:

Herobrine: Question about game mechanics: By what mechanism(s) do you decide weather an attack is successful (deal damage) or unsuccessful (does no damage)?

I now go by Graf von Tirol.

@Damage: OK, that was a miswording, sorry about that. Prone to that at times. Creativity does not equal length. Creativity isn't quantitative, however, while length is, and while certainly not a hard and fast rule, creative attacks generally wind up being more descriptive and long because it takes a while to bring out the real creative flow and make it standout. Again, general rule, not exactly true for all cases. Plus, even if it's not exactly creative, effort is fairly important too, personally. "I punch X" versus four paragraphs of description that boil down to "I punch X" means that the latter should get more damage, but not as much as the bullet-pointed list of how to do a unique Agony Beam properly.

ERROR! EXPLOSION IMMINENT!

...A kinda small but still noticeable rift appears in the battlefield. A red figure steps out.

cc: goddammit, again!?

cc: didn'(t) you die like, (t)wo weeks ago!?

cc: ugh.

I then throw a frag grenade towards Glitched Duon Bluey. The frag grenade explodes, but doesn't leave a normal crater; it leaves a small tear in reality, that seems to be a portal of sorts. Tendrils of code lash out, and tear Duon Bluey apart!

@Tazz's post 458: Ah. Apology for miswording accepted. I actually like your idea now. However, the bonus for describing the punch in Purple Prose, while present, should not be very large. Especially if the target is a Mecha/space battleship/giant/something else that a punch would probably be ineffective against.

To synchronize with your idea: The primary decider of an attacks power should be how well the attack would actually work (here cleverness is a big factor), but with detail of description adding a small modifier to power (or perhaps a slightly increased crit chance.)

That said, again, this discussion is hampered by lack of knowledge about game mechanics (e.g. what causes an attack to fail, and how critical hits work).

The names of the electrical charges really ought to be swapped. It is just DUMB that the place with MORE electrons is NEGATIVELY charged.

Which is why before I update again, I think we need to solidify the mechanics.

I'm considering a minimum of 1200. There will be no maximum, because if someone pulls a 34 paragraph monster, then I might rack up a 10000 DMG works.

There will be a health and a damage counter for charged attacks. Charged entities will need to fall within a spectrum.

I am the once and future king.

My 2 cents: creativity > length. Length shouldn't have to be a part of the equation. I would argue that something that has 2 paragraphs describing it is generally more creative than something with one. Maybe look for 'creativity' and 'effort'. Effort could encompass length, maybe take into account how long they've been planning it, how well it gels with their character/the scenario, etc. I dunno. It's just 2 cents.

No cents, I guess, since they got rid of the penny. Let's round it up to 5.

Also HOLY FaCKING SHeT!!!!!!!

((My two cents (MURICA YEAH):BUFF DAMAGE IN GENERAL, OR NERF HEALTH. srsly these things are not dying at a reasonable pace.))

When I say buff damage, I mean you can buff each other. That's whawt I was aiming for.

I am the once and future king.

I think I agree with the arguments of creativity vs. length, although it seems we've already reached a consensus on that. Minimum of 1200 seems decent though. Also, herobrine's right, we should be working together a bit more.

"No defiant last words, Dr. Jones?" "I like Ike"

Ok, it seems we're in agreement. one thing though:

• "There will be a health and a damage counter for charged attacks." I don't understand this statement. could you elaborate?

The names of the electrical charges really ought to be swapped. It is just DUMB that the place with MORE electrons is NEGATIVELY charged.

Not sure if anything happened yet...

Be careful what you wish for, 'cause you might just get it all...

Damage counter from charges will be higher than 1200.

Health counter....Oh, I don't know what the health is right now. At this point, none of the summons have health, unless they get no sold.

Also, no more posts. I've had to go kill the prevvious anti ninjas for their lies.

Between switching work departments, college packing, and life, its been hectic. I apologize for the waiting.

>Give item:HUG to user:LORDHEROBRINE

The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.

What is "damage counter" and "health counter"? does that simple refer to attack power and total health? If so, than please talk to us in more conventional language. It avoids confusion.

(decided to raise your attacks. You’re welcome)

Cobal fires the “Sucky Virus” at Bluey. 1200 Dmg! Launched upwards, he lands on Dimentio, squashing him into the dirt. Dimentio’s Anon members go off anyways to find a city in this minecraft server. Good luck. Trip fires a BEEG ROCK at bluey. 1200 DMG!

Shiny’s File Restore de-glitches the Wither skeletons, who turn into….normal skeletons…. Utterly confused, the rest of the skeletons bite the dust. Following up, he cures Hyena of his Paralysis. Pillow continues to immobilize Pinky, when pinky launches Bullet Hell at him. Ripsaw pulls a force lance, but does nothing with it. Piono unloads a full 20 shots on Bluey. 2400 Dmg! Lord of the Sword drives his tank into the Mesa Cavern. It’s a bit too big, but one could force it with some excavation. Parkour’ing off Zombie’s heads, Telmoai leaves napalm surprises behind him as he descends deeper.

Coming upon a catwalk high above a steep drop, he would see what appears to be a large industrial warehouse. It’s mostly empty, but large skid marks can be seen everywhere. The Smell of gunpowder, ozone, and… Lettuce… can be found.

Dj nails Bluey with an explosion, but his trap card is trampled by silverfish, de-spawning it and sending it to the grave yard. Eatos explodes, but there’s nothing in the blast radius. Bluey manages to block some of it. 8500 Dmg!

Undying wipes the rest of the Wither skeletons out as fseftr switches his shot to Pinky. 1200 Dmg! Tabbune fires an ice spear. 1200 DMG! Jindra walks down the cavern, surrounded by fireballs, and looks up.

And up…

And up……

That’s a Metal Gear REX with Feathered at the controls. Engie counter-sprays the Godmodder with Axe. Inside the cavern. Jindra sees a random village get Axed in the face. De-jarateing, he smushes 4 silverfish. Sacred’s Company finds Tazz, but can’t find any medicinal herbs. Netpatham fires his blah blah lazer, but gets half-nelsoned by a skeleton jockey who throws him into Jondanger’s face.

Jon accidentally fills Net full of holes with his Panic attack. Un-paralyzed, Hyena’s Arm is coated in Ether.

Seda fires Dragon Breath at Pinky. 1400 Dmg! MOBILE ORAN FARM SUMMONED.

The minute the thing hits the field, all of the silverfish go after it. Apparently they like Oran Berries. Infinity fires at Bluey. 1200 Dmg! Pinky gets Lazere’d by the Yellow Devil. 1700 Dmg! Tailist tries to melt the cars, but they’re cars. Bigger than him. He gets Flattened by Bluey. Pastry fires an explosive Kunai at Pinky. The Moment the kunai touches it, Pinky suddenly poofs out of existence, a wooden log taking its place. The log explodes. Spino fires at Bluey, but silverfish impede the rocket. Man, there are silverfish everywhere. Pinky blinks into existence behind him. Battle Tosses Data at the Glitched Duons.

400 HEALTH?!

Hopping into the Cockpit, Feathered finds two Rocket homing launchers, a really, really big railgun, and three miniguns. Dimention pulls a basic diamond sword, when silverfish begin nibbling his toes. The Anon members run off. No one knows where they went.

Wolf throws a rubber ducky at the godmodder, who’s several hundred meters underground… No dice. Generic summons the Gatekeeper’s Scythe and mows down the rest of the skeleton jockeys. Cobalt activates COUNTERPROGRAMMING. (Posts cut off at post 438. )
