Ah. Thank you for clearing that up.
Also, by "Number of pages", I mean exactly that. The Charges are being used to create the Book of Summons and Attacks, which is an artifact. The stronger the attack/summon, the more pages consumed, entirely at your descretion. They're basically stored charges, but they can't be used to boost anything.
In this case, it's currently 2/X, where X will be whatever number of charges I put into it after I decide that the book is complete. So if I manage 100 charges, there will be 100 pages, etc.

The Pen, Mightier than the Sword? Why not a Pensword?Have the post... Tvt ate it like a bolla.....
Running it again tomorrow morning. In 7ish hours.
I am the once and future king.Might wanna get into the habit of putting those posts up in word documents, Briney.
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.Question: If I've finished a charge but haven't deployed it yet, can I start another one? Say, for example:
1/15 | This and That
40/100 | Something or Other
READY | Sample Text
Would that be acceptable?
"Doki Doki Lit. Club" is a happy game where nothing bad happens. seriously tho? not for the faint of heart.Hmm...Pizza... I need Pizza.
Adding another charge to the Book, he begins to summon a Sausage Pizza from Little Caesar's, boxed and freshly made.
Book of Attacks/Summons: 2/X
Pizza: 1/5

Hail to the King of Feraligatrs! Shameless advertising@Herobrine: The charge boosting thing. Remember how in the previous DTG TV Tropes version while charges were still active... remember how, in addition to charging two of your own summons, you could hand out +1s to 3 other people's summons to help them out? One would think you would remember that, considering it was a key mechanic. towards the late game we had to assign them to specific tropers.
remember how we often ended our posts with something like:
goes to Solar Flare, and two
s go to 4maskwolf
- +2 on Engie, +1 on Ichigo Montoya
or stuff like that? That's what I meant by boosting charges.
The names of the electrical charges really ought to be swapped. It is just DUMB that the place with MORE electrons is NEGATIVELY charged.@herobrine storywise: does this session of dtg take place in the pantheon or an absurdly large minecraft server? I'm confused.

Upon reaching the other side of the mesa, I draw my wand once I spot the godmodder and Carmen, then cast Accio on the former, calling her to me and and catching her in my arms.
"Shadow, could you and your allies deal with the godmodder here? I've gotta get Carmen some medical attention."
I then drive my speeder bike away from the mesa with the wounded Carmen in tow, eventfully reaching my old bunker from the previous war. There, I use a medpack on Carmen before calling Doctor House on my phone.
"Hello, Doctor House? Yeah, Carmen's been wounded again. Think you could send someone over here to pick her up so you and the others can get to work on treating her injuries?"

Be careful what you wish for, 'cause you might just get it all...@Herobrine: What time zone are you located in? Because I have no clue what "after lunch" actually means temporally.
It will take a lot to physically bring those giants down, but disorienting them should be easy. after all, all the weak spots are also 10 times larger.
Seda responds to the giant threat by grabbing an AK-47 from the standard-issue Bag of Holding, loads it with expanding bullets, takes aim, and... Begins shooting out the giants' eyes in order to blind them, hopefully leaving them VERY disoriented.
charges:
- Miss Jiya: 2/50
- mobile oran farm: 2/10 Using a her own equipment and some spare lumber lying around, Seda is building something that resembles a very wide wagon...
"Got the skeletons."
The man proceeds to duck and weave among the bony beasts, aiming kicks at their legs, causing them to shoot each other, and in general really being a nuisance.

Well, you're an idiot.
Thanks for the comforting words.
Hey, at least you aren't a dead idiot.
I throw a magnet at the charged creepers. I then charge through them.
I conjure the healing tome using my one free artifact recycle.

SoundCloudWell, I guess every artifact I summoned in the previous war here would be too overpowered. How about something from Godcraft...
I summon Moon's Dagger: A pale blue dagger made of the same metal as Ultramarine. The handle hides a laser gun, and the dagger's edges are serrated and poisoned.
I flashstep to behind a giant, and stab at a weakpoint with Moon's Dagger. I then rinse and repeat the process.
A Charge: 3/?
Another Charge: 3/?
I fall to the ground in pain before looking down at the bullet wound in shock. It's nonlethal, but I'll have to leave it in my leg.
After examining the wound, I ask myself in disbelief:
Since when could they use guns?!
The ground shook beneath my feet as I looked around in confusion before my vision was focused on ten lumbering giants.
Oh. Good.
I attack the nearest skeleton, in an effort to disarm it of its fire arm. If it works, I take the gun and fire relentlessly on the giants.

I stare at the mobs closing in.
This is bad...Without my magic...I'm not exactly the best fighter...
"Right then..."
I take a fighting stance. I punch at a few zombies that get close, and kick at the skeletons.
"Ah, come on! Why is it always spiders? I HATE SPIDERS! SOMEONE! HELP!"

Arguments and jokes for math
y=45(.02x-1)^(5/9)+45
New derivative: y=(0.5)/((0.02x-1)^(4/9))
The goal of this is to encourage people to use entities of about 60 post charge while still giving the option of going over or below. On the MCforums, after charge rules were enforced (They were practically our official currency before. We almost had a bank in fact. We were so close to interest rates, bonds, and a stock market.), people stopped making any charge that wasn't a 50 post one, which was the charge cap. That was... alright, but it made things a little same-y because there was no wiggle room. If you had a really good idea you weren't allowed to go over. Bringing entry level calculus (well, its really just Algebra 2 because the derivative is just to help visualize) into the mix lets people go over or under if they want, but it's at the cost of efficiency. And honestly, there's never a good reason to not bring entry level calculus into any situation. Helps (Tan(78 - Sec^-1(0.12)) * sqrt(ln(e^89) - 702) / 0.3i) percent of the time. ... Is it sad that I actually spent the time to make sure that comes out to a reasonable number?
If the power scale for entities is linear, I see no reason why I shouldn't change my second charge to...
My first companion: 2/80
My last companion: 2/500
And once that finally finishes, its going to squish everything unless someone else has a similar charge. Or worse, it will heal everything so much one side never dies. Or for an even more extreme example, Laitome's Operation Corporate Takeover. So that's why I think a more complex mathematical formula for entities is needed. However, I feel that attacks should have a linear power scale. Anyway, there's a game to play. What a shocker.
I fiddle with the remote some more before pocketing it. I reach behind me to grab the Staff of Ysera from my back. Its a long, living wood staff topped with a clorophyte (This was made back when that was the top Terraria material rather than lumite) crescent blade and can be used for both melee and magical combat, as well as several utility purposes. It has an inherent link to a place called the Dream, but that isn't too important right now. I had gotten better at controlling aspects of the Dream myself, so I didn't technically need the staff in the same way nobody technically needs a lockpick when they can just bash the lock instead.
I point out that giants don't actually have any AI and they will just stand there and not attack. The AI was removed in like... 1.6 or something. I know because I was really annoyed when I discovered that after trying to make a giant into a boss for my map. Of course, the Godmodder has a 96% chance of vetoing this, but it does provide a distraction for me to level the Staff of Ysera at the giants and ensnare one with a whip of crackling emerald flames. With a yank and pulse of force, I pull it over to crush some spiders for Undying Phoenix.

All ye who cross shall be subjected to walls of text that aren't technically relevant. Ye hath been warned.
Now, time to introduce my character. Lets go. And yes, I have prewritten this and spent a lot of time on it. I enjoy this kind of writing. Although, I don't have anything specifically planned after this, at least for a while. So my absurd post length should go down.

"Must I remind you why you are here again?"
To which the dragon replied in its thoughts, "You think I'm that distractable? You already 'reminded' me just a moment ago."
"Hardly a moment ago. That was yesterday. You have no sense of time, do you? Regardless, do you actually know the plan or was that just an attempt to dodge the question?"
The dragon rolled its deep purple eyes, knowing that Mikoto, the entity it was talking to, couldn't see. "Sigh... its not like its all that complicated. There are people from the last war here and I'm supposed to ask around and try to figure out where Laiko is and then somehow reach him."
"Hrm. Close enough, I guess. You better not ruin this, Willow. Or else I'll sta-"
The dragon, Willow, interrupted suddenly. "Could you stop calli-"
"OR else I'll starting pressing a little harder about those... inconsistencies we had before. And you better have a good explanation this time. But find out where Laiko is like we planned and you won't have to worry about any of that. Deal?"
Willow sighed again. Those vague threats had lost any kind of meaning on her within what seemed like minutes. She started feeling like there was nothing new in this conversation.
"Okay, fine. Deal. I'll get it done. Just leave me to do this myself."
"Knowing you, you'll 'get it done' in seferal weeks when it should only take a few days. But maybe if you do a good job, we can see about those burns. Maybe that will motivate you to actually do anything in a reasonable amount of ti-"

Heh... only like... 1/15th of my post is an actual attack. I love my walls of text.
Alright, now to post this and see how broken it all looks. ...

There we go, fixed. Mostly. It will be a while before I understand this... I'm pretty sure learning derivatives was easier.

I evaluate the situation and decide to spray burning fish oil at a group of giants.
Why is a yam attacking me?Shadow nods, and the Party dodges through groups of Elite Mobs, striking at any who get too close, and trying to fend off the ones who go after Ichigo as he makes his rescue attempt. Arkus narrows his eyes as he launches a fireball into a Mob. He would have to bring in his own secret weapon,, just to be sure...

"...Something's off."
Being kicked in the face, remarkably, did not stop me from tearing apart a few zombies anyway. I then pull out an Airstrike, rocket-jump into the air, and begin raining down a literal downpour of rockets onto the horde, abusing the BASE Jumper + fire exploit for profit.

Q&A
Wolfarc732, I don't quite understand what you mean by number of pages. It looks like you put two charges into your one charge. You can't do that. One charge per action post, per turn. If you have one charging thingy, it's only one.
paradisedj32, I wasn't even aware you could boost summons... Elaborate, please.
fsetfr, You get to bring one artifact from previous Rp's as a freebie, provided it isn't something that took a lot of time to get. Translation: Don't smash the OP scale on your freebie. Be reasonable.
Talist, Welcome to this game! 1) Yes you can bring the staff, and no you do not have to charge it. The Staff might break or the Godmodder might no sell it depending, but you can bring it. 2) If by assist you mean assisting another player's action can boost effectiveness, then yes.
Also, that math is .....wow... I cannot process that. Never heard of any math being used in the first format. I'll have to talk to Piono about that. I'll get back to you soon.
The_Hyena_King, There is no timeline canonically, but this does happen after the Godmodder ascended to the pantheon.
LordOfTheSword, It's more like items that can help you on your way. You can retcon items from any fandom you want, as long as it doesnt' break the OP scale.
It'll become apparent what will work and what won't.
Firing a salvo from his back canons, Amp’s rude gesture goes unanswered as the Godmodder is out of sight. Speeding towards the spawners, the shells easily wipe out the first rank of creepers, which take out more of them- Until the skeletons shoot them out of the sky……
‘’Hold on…’’
Munching popcorn, Solar punched a skele’s head clean off while Inceptiond mows down several more. Running over zombies with his bike, Ichigo headed towards the mesa, which wasn’t that far away, in retrospect. Pastry forces a friendly fire on a zombie and tosses him to the closest creeper-
Who dodges the throw…
‘’Wait..’’
About to smash apart the first zombie he sees, Engie instead gets kicked in the face by another zombie. Suddenly, the eyes of the mobs change, pupils fizzing out and jerking as if they’re going into a seizure. Hurling itself into the air, a skeleton noscopes Spino while several creepers suicide themselves against Trips caltrops.
Tabbune’s fireblast roasts several zombies alive, until they pick up the burning bones and return fire. Protecting Ichigo’s hoverbike, the Sacred aspects are swamped with several lines of skeletons concentrating fire at an alarming rate. Protoh sees one of them carrying an SMG for some reason.
Shiny’s heal buffs the creepers into charged creepers, who then grin and zerg rush him. Apparently these mobs ain’t your ordinary folk. Piono’s Undead army marches into the battlefield, taking out more mobs, until a giant earthquake shakes up the rear.
Oh look. Giants…… Why do they have RPG’s?
Seda’s slashing starts killing more zombies, Infinity’s skeletons go down as Ripsaw triggers a charged creeper detonation. Jon triggers another one. Somehow teleporting right infront of the spawners, Fseftr blocks more spawning but gets a facefull of new spiders, swarming him. Aug discharges another charged creeper. Hyena makes a snow golem.
Sword fishing his way through the ground, Pillow’s charge effectively slaughteres the rest of the creepers, leaving the charged ones.
With the creepers gone, zombies disoriented and the skeles running cover fire, the spider armada runs in. Behind you, the House avatars rush in, only to be blocked by a physical wall of blazes.
‘’’ Sucks for you guys, doesn’t it,’’’ you hear the godmodder shout from over the mesa.
Oh, and did I mention the Giants?
THE MESA
THE GODMODDER: 99/100
‘’’THE VALLEY’’’
Creepers – Dead
Charged Creepers x25
Zombies x76
Skeletons x45
Spiders x93
Giants x10
