The Post-3.1 Game

[Xion]

<i>lol look at cooba's post. L_G, Risp, and cooba are all on one team, and I'm on the other.

Why? Because I'm a planeswalker I assume.</i>

Xion claims page 26 and equips it, like a shuriken.

[Risp_old]

<i>Well, everyone was using equipment they did not have and L_G was fighting even though he was not listed as there, so I though the information in the post was simply a formality.</i>

[Xion]

<i>*shrug*</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Hey Risp, if you haven't noticed, you just got Post #1000. Congrats! *envies and admires Risp* Now put that post to good use.

L_G takes all of the pages he claimed in the past to make some paper claws for himself.

[Xion]

Xion farts.

[Lem_Gambino]

L_G says, "Excuse you!"

[Xion]

Xion walks up to L_G, extending his finger. "Pull this."

[Lem_Gambino]

L_G looks at Xion with a questionable look. 'What the heck...I mean, it's not like Xion's going to blow up the universe or something,' he thinks.

L_G pulls Xion's finger! *dramatic pause*

[Xion]

Xion had a lighter by his butt! Xion Farts! Xion rocket propels himself at L_G and then into Random Wall #5! L_G Takes 40 Damage!

[Lem_Gambino]

L_G glares at Xion. "Smoking is bad for you, ya know!" he says in an irratated tone.

L_G sends out Kyogre!
Kyogre uses Ice Beam! Xion takes 274 HP damage. Xion is frozen solid!

"That'll learn ya..." L_G smirks.

[Xion]

Xion wiggles Free!

"Cretin." Xion says, undoubtly with a fake british accent. Xion blinks back to the other side of the field and heals himself.

[Lem_Gambino]

L_G goes on a joy ride, riding on Kyogre's back and splashing random people as they go.

[Risp_old]

Rspss Fr takes out a bazooka and shoots it at a cliff Kyogre was passing over, causing L_G to be trapped under a landslide, and then teleports away to an undefined location.

[Lem_Gambino]

Kyogre uses Rock Smash to remove the boulders and pull L_G out. "Thanks," he says. "Now why in the world would someone try and shoot at us?" Kyogre shrugs, and so does L_G. they get back to their joy ride, but this time look out for people with explosive weapons.

[cooba]

1000th reply. Indeed 1000. XION CONGRATZ.

Cooba Jr uses Indian Nuclear Test.
Worms are polluted.

BTW, now I'm not saying about mission.

[Xion]

Xion just put a bullet through Cooba's Head!
Xion just handed L_G a glass of his dripping green load!
Risp was vaporized by Xion's Redeemer!

Xion wins.

[Risp_old]

Rspss Fr comes back from the dead somehow and kills Xion using an uzi!

[Xion]

Xion respawns

Xion riddles Risp with bullets from his Enforcer!

<i>(You three can respawn...:p)</i>

[Risp_old]

Rspss Fr cannot be killed since he is already dead.

<i>Hey, if L_G is allowed to become an invincible undead I am too. Plus, how could you have killed me with your redeemer when I teleported to an undefined location?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Heat-seeking. Besides, if I can get the impact point within 100 yds of you, you're dead!</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Said undefined location could be a million lightyears away, for all you know. It is undefined, after all.</i>

[Xion]

<i>True.

But not even Xion can blink that far. Xion can portal into other planes where he feels, but within the same plane he can't go where he feels. Strange. Yes, he could go back and forth, but that's too much time/MP.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I said it might be. However, I am most definatly out of the range of any missle.</i>

[cooba]

Xion puts <s>a bullet</s> many bullets through Trafton's head.

[cooba]

I like sexi females fighting you.

[Lem_Gambino]

Wow, stuff happened!

L_G casts Esuna on himself and Kyogre. They are no longer poisoned.
L_G chucks another Holy Hand Grenade in front of Spaztic. BOOM! Spaztic is now Spaztjuice! Obtained Spaztjuice!
L_G drinks the Spaztjuice! L_G is now Spazt_G!
Spazt_G runs around like an idiot. Kyogre sweatdrops.

[Risp_old]

<i>Me and Strato are updating our characters for the next chapter. I recomend you do the same; we have some killer attacks ready.

New rules are going to come next.</i>

[cooba]

Chapter themed in Worms, or Post-3.1?

[Risp_old]

<i>Next Post-3.1 chapter.

[Risp_old]

<i>You totally revamped yourself?</i>

[Xion]

<i>I already have an idea for Xion...and I may have to work on all the rest of my team. Soala, Rain, yeah they're making a return. :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I don't just have ideas for my characters; I already have all the new stats ready in a .txt document.</i>

[cooba]

I Ctrl+C-ed and Ctrl+V-ed them to new reply applet, modified (hardly), and submitted. Simple.

.txt docum???// geocity.omg

[Risp_old]

<i>No, I was suprised at how you changed your skills so entirely.

Yes. A .txt document. Fear it.</i>

[cooba]

Previous were too plain and boring. I changed them 'coz I would get 5.2 >p

I was always scared by Notepad.

[Lem_Gambino]

*screams like a school girl* XD I may revamp my chars in the future. Maybe.

[Risp_old]

<i>You have plenty of time, since this second chapter is suppost to start mid-june, or something.</i>

[Xion]

<i>I'm free starting June 15^th. Sound good to anybody?

oo, a page.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I would be ready at any time, as long as I have enough time to make the new rules and such. However, I do recommend we not wait too long for it, since if we do the game might be forgotten by then.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Ditto.

[Risp_old]

<i>Now I am going to take a break, so I can get some schoolwork done, then I will start on the rules.

Any suggestions?</i>

[Xion]

<i>I got an idea.

Each plane has their own planal modifier, and each attack has a specific amount of range damage. Example:

==Freezeblink: Costs 32, damages 80-112, hit 85.

The cost and damage can be modified seperately, along with HP maxes and MP maxes. However, Hit and JP (overdrive) will not be affected by <b>any</b> worldwide modifier. Local modifiers, like fog, water, or forests, can affect hit. Example of a world modifier:

==Gran Da Val: HPx2, MPx2, Costsx2.25, damagex3. Local elements: Wood, Water, Wind, Earth.

Here, a base HP of 176 would be 352, a base MP of 221 would be 442, Freezeblink would cost 72 and damage 240-336, and any Wood, Water, Wind, and Earth abilities would get a 1.5x bonus.


Take these into consideration, and maybe it could be kind of a D&D game. I dunno if this could really work, but it will prevent the uber-1337 overpowerment of spells over time. Granted, there are combos out there that can deal massive damage, so you need to find them on your own.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Why would being in certain places highten your HP?</i>

[Xion]

<i>well, this is merely a base. See, Ivalace could have a 1x modifier on all of them while Gran Da Val, which is something completely different, gives higher modifiers since the creatures have higher attacks and health and such.

Granted, it doesn't have to be higher, it could be lower too!</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>So, basically, if I walk into there I would suddenly become tougher, and I would need more healing items to heal me back to full health?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

I think what he's saying is that the land you're in can affect your stats, like If you were under water it would power up water attacks and weaken fire attacks, or something like that.

[Risp_old]

<i>How would that effect your HP?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Ummm...like this: Say you're on a planet that has a toxic atmosphere. Your HP would decrease if you don't like toxic environments; increase if you thrive in them.

I don't really know; Xion's the one that brought this up. XP

[Risp_old]

<i>How about this system, which makes some more sense to me, since it does not suddenly change your body chemistry whenever you enter new terrain-
Forests | fire damage x2 water damage x.5
So, thus, in a forest fire spells would deal double damage owing to all the nearby wood, but water spells would deal half damage owing to the fact that all the plants nearby would absorb some of the water.
Beach | water costs x.5
So, thus, in a beach, water spells would cost less mana owing to the availability of water.
Nuclear wasteland | all organic, non NBC protected creatures take 10 d per turn
So, thus, in a nuclear wasteland, people would be hurt by the radioactive fallout.

But, you get the point. These are just examples, which should be changed for more complexity and stuff. But it makes more sense to me than you bringing a robot onto a planet and having it suddenly get an armor upgrade out of thin air.

And another thing. While I am not finished with the rules yet, I am going to say you have to have skill charts for everyone (and, while I would prefer you to have some skills you have yet to learn, I am not forcing you to), and on said skill charts all spells must have clearly marked damages, elements, and mana costs. This is for the sake of having more organized battles, where you can actually run out of mana and such.</i>

[Xion]

<i>About my system...Anything that heals is affected by it's respective modifier...HP replenishers get multiplied by the same modifier that gets multiplied by Maximum HP.

And about the toxic, that's an example of a local modifier. It's only on a single planet, and there is space travel...somewhat...(hopefully)</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>On a single planet.. you mean the entire planet should be toxic if there is just one stretch of nuclear wasteland on the planet?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

No, I think he means just an area that is toxic.

Risp, can you list the names of all of the Cyber Lords?

[Risp_old]

<i>While each Cyber Lord is excellent in hacking, programming, and AI making, some are better than others-

Fia'onn (m)- their leader, and the best in every category
Trah (m)- the new second best in programming, since the original died
Via'oh (f)- the third best in programming; handles public relations
Niz (f)- the second best at hacking
Cyad (m)- the new third best at hacking, since the original died
Nog'ha (m)- the second best at AI making
Foi (m)- the third best at AI making
Aora (f)- the fourth best at AI making and the best strategist

Note that all of them have a robot army (except for Fia'onn, who really does not need one), of whom Aora's is the largest. They also all have numerous hacker/programmer/AI maker subordinates, including Fia'onn.</i>

[cooba]

I think I'll post something about my primary helpers also.

[Risp_old]

<i>If you are suggesting the Cyber Lords are my helpers, they are not (except for Niz). They are just allies.</i>

[cooba]

So, about my allies.

...

I just realized that Cooba has not any ally except for you and yours.

[Lem_Gambino]

@Cooba: Well, you'd better get some quick. Make your own chars if you have to.
@Risp: I asked that question because I saw "Cyber Lord" mentioned in the flavor text of the new Duel Masters cards, and I saw a cyber lord-type monster named Tropico. I thought that you got your chars from Duel Masters cards, and I thought that the monster you had in the previous chapters was somehow related to Duel Masters. Guess I was wrong.^^;; Oh well. At least I can see what I'm up against.
[B][U]ONE MORE TIME:
L_G = REAL L_G = GOOD!
NEWB = FAKE L_G = BAD!

[Risp_old]

<i>If I got my people from duel monster cards I would not be so annoyed you used anime for your basis of everything. The similarity is just a coincidence, since I don't play duel monsters.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

I thought so, too.

[Risp_old]

<i>I am close to finishing the rules. Any suggestions for rules anyone?

[Xion]

<i>A few comments.

First, About the "no semi-immortals" rule, would I, Xion the Planesmage, be considered a semi-immortal?
Second, what about Quicken? Does Quicken go in with the "Unit can do x moves in a single shot" work with it?
Third, All these status ailments do wear off after three turns unless cast on a weaker unit from a stronger unit. i.e. if the casting unit has a 3:2 ratio, where it is Caster's M-Pow:Defender's M-Res., then it is added one turn for each ratio increase. i.e. 3:2 increases 1 turn, 6:2 increases 2 turns, etc. This is not true about some, like Haste, Slow, Quicken, Poison, and Auto-Regen.
Fourth, what about elementals? Here's my take on the rule for elementals.

An elemental does three things when it comes to damage: Increases your damage when used with a tech of the same element, Heals you when you are hit with a tech of that same element, and take double when attacked with that element.

Though, this rule does not apply to all. Xion gets a boost when he attacks with a Fire, Ice, or Wind type attacks, and takes a weakness against Water (3x weakness) and Electric type attacks. Yes, You can kill Xion with a super soaker. :p


Finally: Haste should stack, but only equal to the number of usable units in your party. This does not include infinity armies (i.e. peep armies) but actual SC's.

Also, some abbr.'s we can use.

SC = Story Charas
AA = Attack Actions
AS = Attack Spells
HS = Helping Spells
RA = Reaction Actions
OM = Overdrive Moves</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>No, you would not be considered one. This is becaue you do not fully fit the criteria for a semi-immortal- while you will come back when killed, you require some outside help. And I never said I was finished with the rules. And I have enough random status effects as it is.

As for the status effect stronger-character status effects on weaker-character thing, that would not work well for two reasons-
1. it does not take into account any players who have status effects that are applied via techniques instead of spells
2. it would mean generic soldiers would be worthless. For example, with an effect-all stun spell you could disable 100 soldiers for a long period of time.

And what is quicken? Is that the status effect that makes you instantly get a turn?

For elemental weaknesses I always imagined it as double damage, not triple damage.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

*Takes a look at how many rules there are, and faints*

[Risp_old]

<i>Eh, most of the rules just define what various status effects are, and how the battle system works.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Speaking of which, how is damage and all that good stuff going to be calculated? Making numbers up isn't very original.

[Risp_old]

<i>Everyone has set attack damage values. They deal that damage per hit. Spells are done similarly (and also have set mana costs, so you have to put defined damages and mana costs for all your spells =D), except they also take elemental immunities, weaknesses, and strengths into account. Everything takes locational advantages into account, if they apply, and the effects of any special abilities/items. This system is made to be simple in some regards.</i>

[cooba]

We can have our own spells, right?

[Risp_old]

<i>Yes.</i>

[cooba]

w00t w00t.

...

Risp, do you have these four tilesets that niek uploaded in J2O in name of J2VF?

I have semi-rated then on 7 remember? :D

[Risp_old]

<i>Those ones I made?</i>

[cooba]

AlienMine, FortressRuins, Zenith and SpaceFortress.

[Xion]

<i>And what is quicken? Is that the status effect that makes you instantly get a turn?

For elemental weaknesses I always imagined it as double damage, not triple damage.</i>
<i>1) Yes. Quicken forces target unit to act immediately when the spell resolves. Therefore Xion can drop two Phantasm Skills in one turn.

2) Since Xion has a conflicting elemental type (Fire/Ice) He needs a median as his weakness. Since Water douses Fire and Water can erode Ice, Water is the median that drops him threefold.

[Risp_old]

<i>1. I don't think that is really a status effect. It just gives you another turn, and only lasts for one turn.

2. I guess that makes sense

[Xion]

<i>Also, I looked up some of these status effects. The following are infinite status ailments:

-Petrification
-Poison
-Frogshape
-Auto-Life
-Speed Down
-Magic Down
-Magic Up
-Defence Down
-Defence Up
-Attack Down
-Attack Up
-Conceal

All of them are infinite unless broken when certain criteria are met. i.e. Damage on a Concealed unit, Esuna, Cureall, etc.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I don't really consider stuff like speed/magic/defense up/down status effects, just stat modifications.

And we are not making this system exactly like FFTA, of whatever you are taking this from. Invisibility will not be a perminant thing, since it is a lot more useful here.</i>

[Xion]

<i>But invisibity wears off when the unit attacks or gets attacked. And yes, Phantasm Skills hit invisible units too. :p

[Risp_old]

<i>Well, in this system invisibility lasts till it wears off or is cured (what is the point of being invisible if it goes away when you hit? There is no moving around that would make that sort of invisibility useful)</i>

[Xion]

ah, I see.

[Risp_old]

<i>Good.

And this is my page =D</i>

[Xion]

<i>hurhur, I got Xion's beginning spell list laid out...I gotta finish it up though.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Me and Strato are almost done. I just need to do a bit more...</i>

[Strato]

yaya

[Risp_old]

<i>I am making a list of the elements (in the new 'standards' section.) Any I missed?

Also, to pass the time, I am writing some shorts illustrating a typical day for Risp.</i>

8:14 AM
Rspss Fr walks up to the window from his room. Looking over it, he sees the usual mess below. A squad of peep soldiers marches back and forth, forcing all other traffic to make detours. Two peeps walk by, carrying a large metal girder to a mess of scaffolding in the distance, the beginnings of a second barracks. A peep is carrying crates from a parked aircar into the stockpile, and another peep is carrying crates from the stockpile into a parked aircar. Strato, standing on a podium down below, is giving an inspirational speech to the night-shift janitors. As his gaze starts to turn to the temporary lodgings for the excess peep soldiers till the second barracks is done, Risp turns his head at the sound of a bang from behind. Looking at the base layout chart posted on the wall next to his bed, he sees it comes from the magic quarters. Rspss Fr starts to run, to see what Tangent blew up this time in his ongoing quest for power supreme.

Looks like it will be a long day in setting up the new base... as usual.

[cooba]

I upgraded myself even more.

Overdrive : 0% / 0%

Spells:

(they can come out of Cooba's Ring of Evilness (indestructible) while mage is on overdrive. They run randomly and attack baddies randomly, as well they throw random Firaga / Waterga spells. Fire / Water no effects on them, but Water / Fire will lower their HP on a half. For example:

/ throws Firaga Arrow at Burning Chimp!
B. Chimp dodges!
/ throws Waterga Arrow at Burning Chimp!
B. Chimp's HP turns from 800 to 400. FACES D=

Pretty much, eh? ^_^;;;;

That's all, I think.

[Risp_old]

<i>I think the bubble armor skill is underpowered, excluding the chimps. Strato already has a reflect spell. Oh, and overdrives usually do not take mana.</i>

-Heckish Wand (equipped)

Note for 'Killer' spell : It's from dark side of Foo Magic, but it all belongs to non-elem. Or at least they should.

<i>Where does Planal Magic fit in?</i>

[cooba]

Xion : Cosmic, I think.
Risp : At which moment new chapter will begin? After my comeback or before?

[Xion]

<i>Cosmic? I'd think that it may fit in kinetics since it includes such spells as blink.

Blink - Instantly move around the field. Skip two moves next turn. 1MP</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>No, kinetic involves the redirection of kinetic energy, sort of like telekinesis. I would think planeswalking would be non-elemental, since it seems to be more of a direct application of magic energy instead of an application of any element.

I might as well give a better discription to them-
__-Light: involves the creation and application of light radiation
__-Darkness: involves the manipulation of shadows
__-Cosmic: involves the application of energies amplified by the universe
__-Water: involves the forced movement of water
__-Fire: involves the creation and application of thermal energy
__-Lightning (thunder): involves the creation and application of electricity
__-Wind: involves the forced movement of air
__-Earth: involves the forced movement of earth
__-Ice: involves the creation and application of low-temperature fields
__-Holy: involves the application of powers gained from deities
__-Kinetic: involves the redirection and application of kinetic energy
__-Sonic (sound): involves the creation and application of sound
__-Steel: involves the forced movement of steel and iron
__-Radiation: involves the creation and application of radiation
__-Nature: involves the forced growth and application of plants and animals
__-Warp: involves the application of distorting reality
__-Chaos: involves the risky application of randomness
__-Non-elemental: involves the direct application of mana

note that nonmagic techniques can also have elements

@Cooba- Delta already has an invisibility spell. Also, for spells that deal damage you must list how much damage they do. This goes for everyone, in fact.</i>

[Xion]

<i>How about healing spells?</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I would think healing would be life, but if you want I will add a healing element.</i>

[Xion]

<i>nonono...Healing has a type of it's own...Holy.

I want to know if Healing has a set amount like the other spells.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>1. Why would healing be holy? Life makes more sense.
2. Yes, healing spells also have to have set healing values?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Healing spells are holy-based because of light and life go together. Dark beats light, and light beats dark. That's why BLACK mages do damage and WHITE mages do healing.

It just makes sense.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>All makes sense, except for the first part. Why do they go togeather? Because their names are similar?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Ever wondered why doctors wear white?</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Not always. They wear blue or green when doing surgery.

Anyway, any color would fit for light (except black), since all colors are based on light. Therefore, almost all elements would fit with light by your definition.

Anyway, holy would not be half light half life. This is because if you are using powers granted by an evil god (like necromancy or something) it would still be holy.</i>

[Xion]

<i>"Anyway, holy would not be half light half life. This is because if you are using powers granted by an evil god (like necromancy or something) it would still be holy."

Necromancy is a dark skill. Zombification is dark based, and zombies can be damaged using CURE. Yes, Zombies get hurt by CURE. That's why Cure is a Holy-based spell, along with any White Mage ability.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>No, if it is granted by a god it is holy magic. Since in this case I said the necromancy was granted by an evil god, it still would be holy. Isn't it kinda strange for healing spells granted by good gods to be holy by more sinister stuff granted by evil gods not be holy?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Listen. Just because it is granted by a god does not make it HOLY!

If I got granted some pyrotechnic abilities from a fire god, is that ability holy? NO! It's Fire-based.

Holy is light based, and holy also includes most healing spells/abilities. There are some non-elemental healing abilities (Nurse, for example) and other elements (Earth Heal, for example) but the most of them are HOLY based.


The ability bestowed from the god is based on the god's elemental base...Not just given some static ability that makes no sense!

[Risp_old]

<i>Then, by that definition, all current holy spells are not holy spells either. In fact, that means holy is the wrong name for it, since it has nothing to do with being holy.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Unless you feel like renaming Light to Holy, yes.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>That would be wrong also. Light has nothing to do with holyness.

[cooba]

Spells:

WaveSh0ck - summons a big energy wave. MP : 20 (sound)
- about 100 / 200 damage; confuses

5|_|x|o/\|_|_ - target sux. MP : 30 (steel)
- target's spells takes triple mana cost; about 50 / 1000 damage

Raging Inferno(Overdrive) - The flaming (not flametags, darnit) meteors falls to ground and explodes. Allies can be also hurted. MP cost : N/A (fire)
- about 500 / 2000 (seriously huge)

Killer(Overdrive) - Lot of TNTs falls on target, unleashing huge damage. (MP Cost : N/A (non-elemental)
- each TNT gives 5 damage; TNT's quantity mostly is 40, but it depends on mana bonuses (this is why Foo Magic is fooish)

And:

Heckish Headache - Throws a big energy orb which explodes at target's head. Then the little energy chunks that come after explosion, stops nearby target's head and starts to burn it with thunders. Causes big damge, higher to a half when overdrive. Casts also Weaknegga, HyperSlow and removes most of target's helpful spells (when they were casted). MP cost : 75. Able to cast only when Heckish Wand equipped. (chaos)

- casts Weaknegga, HyperSlow, removes some helpful spellz; damage = 470. Always always always.

What about this?

[cooba]

BTW :

ThinAir(Overdrive) - Target turns temporary invincible. MP cost : N/A (warp)

[Risp_old]

<i>As for raging inferno Niz's radiation breaker deals 1750 damage to one target, and radiation breaker is a normal spell. Raging Inferno is definatly underpowered.

As for Killer, one new overdrive for one of my character deals 50k damage to one target. Once again, Killer is underpowered.

Why do these things deal so much damage? There seems to be a rising difficulty curve lately. I do admit that spells like the 50k damage spell are a bit over the top against characters, but if the enemy brings in spaceships like the Interceptor II they will be needed.

EDIT- on further consideration, I have toned the 50k damage spell to just 15k.</i>

[cooba]

Raging Inferno(Overdrive) - The flaming (not flametags, darnit) meteors falls to ground and explodes. Allies can be also hurted. MP cost : N/A (fire)
- about 2000 / 4000 (seriously huge)

Killer(Overdrive) - Lot of TNTs falls on target, unleashing huge damage. (MP Cost : N/A (non-elemental)
- each TNT gives 500 damage; TNT's quantity mostly is 40, but it depends on mana bonuses (this is why Foo Magic is fooish)

What now? *looks hungrily at Rips*

[Risp_old]

<i>Hmm... 2k-4k against all targets, 20k against one target... good.</i>

[cooba]

I claimed 1111th post. YaY me.

I decided to place new spell in case of the dramatical damages :

HyperCureOMGROFL - wastes mana 'in name' of HP. MP cost : 40
HyperManaOMGROFL - doubles mana amount. MP cost : 40

[Risp_old]

<i>Wait, why is killer non-elemental? I would think it would be fire.</i>

[cooba]

It's in Foo Magic which belongs to non-elem. Feel free to make Foo element.

[Risp_old]

<i>Non-elemental magic is magic that is direct application of mana, like shooting a bolt of mana at the opponent. And it is pointless to make a foo element if there is only one spell in it.</i>

[cooba]

So, let's just say that source of Foo Magic is just being a foo. This is why I have it >)

[Risp_old]

<i>That still does not answer what element it is.</i>

[cooba]

Unknown.

[Risp_old]

<i>It would fit fire perfectally well. It could also be considered a physical attack of a sort.</i>

[cooba]

Non-elem is more accurate. Foo spells are just effect of accumulated essence of fooishness, which gets unleashed per one spell by mana powerz. OK now?

[Risp_old]

<i>Non-elemental would only be accurate if these sticks of TNT are made of pure mana.

The page, which is mine, is made of pure mana, however.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Hm. Where would Gran Da Val fit in? (In the locational bonuses)</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>What is the terrain in Gran Da Val like?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Somewhat mechanical, somewhat like a river....

Gran Da Val is a huge dam. And when the Gal Gryphon comes out to play (I may institute this if you even come <b>NEAR</b> my base.) it's really stormy.


There is a Jungle, A Mountain, and a Seaside area nearby, but the Actual Gran Da Val base is a mechanical dam. :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Hmm... that should be a new terrain type...

_-Dam:
__-x1.5 water damage
__-3/4 fire damage
__-x2 life damage
__-Using an effect all earth spell breaks the dam and turns it into a river

any comments? Should I get rid of the breaking the dam part?</i>

[Xion]

<i>hahahano. With a basic Dam, sure.

Why not this: Since Gran Da Val is <u>my</u> home terrain, I can tweak it how I feel.

_-Gran Da Val
__-x2 Wind Damage
__-1/2 Water Damage
__-MP Maximum x2, MP costs remain same.
__-HP Maximum x2, Damage remain same.

[Risp_old]

<i>I still have no idea how going to a certain place will suddenly make you tougher.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Xion's base has external amplifiers of all units in the area. So all you have to do is lure the creature out of the base and volia'! A weak unit to pwn!</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>... how does that explain anything?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Remember how Xion chipped Diesel, Malta, and Tia? Yeah. Xion's base, Gran Da Val, has in the walls sensors. These sensors amplify the HP and MP of any and every unit on the premesis.

Actually, they kinda work in the oppisite direction. Damage gets cut in half and spells cost less. Though this created a problem: Fractional MP costs and Fractional Damages. How do you satisfy this? He just made the illusion of more MP and HP within the base. When you go out of the base, the HP and MP merely round up, making it nice and neat.


Ever wondered why Xion's AIM address in the game is XIllusion? :p

[cooba]

Risp : I claimed this page already. See title of that post.

Also, the TNTs are made from pure mana, they just look like normal TNTs 'coz of fooish fooness.

We should make stats for bases, like : HP renew, MP renew, and so on.

BTW, we should call Gran Da Val now Dam Nation >)

[Risp_old]

<i>I am tired of complaining about that kinda stuff, so, I will add that to the terrain type listing.

EDIT- I assume it also doubles your current HP and MP?

@Cooba- do the TNT explode?</i>

[cooba]

Sounds okay.

[Risp_old]

<i>Chemical explosions?</i>

[cooba]

Yes it does, but it doesn't leave fire. This is JJ2 TNT, after all >p

[Risp_old]

<i>JJ2 explosions do create fire. If it is a chemical explosion, it creates fire, or at least heat. And, since heat-generating magic (like superheating something, for example) is considered fire magic, Killer would be fire magic also.</i>

[cooba]

OKAY. *looks at Risp more hungrily than ever*

Killer(Overdrive) - Lot of TNTs falls on target, unleashing huge damage. MP Cost : N/A (foo - fire)

>(

[Risp_old]

<i>Why so unhappy? You really like the idea of TNT made of pure mana falling down onto the enemy and then exploding without creating any heat somehow?</i>

[cooba]

It's so fooish then.

[Xion]

<i>I assume it also doubles your current HP and MP?</i>
<i>You are correct, sir. And it halves your current HP and MP when you leave.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I kinda assumed that.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Hey, as long as we're clear.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Whutever.</i>

8:17 AM
Rspss Fr stops to a halt outside a door. This, however, is not the normal lightweight metal door found in the inside of the command building of the base. It is a heavy blast door, the same kind that is found adorning the entrance. He opens the door. From walking through the frame, someone can see that the walls are very thick. When looking at the walls, someone can see there was an explosion here. And, looking at the sunlight coming through the roof, said explosion took a big chunk of the roof with it. The roof, unlike the rest of the room's walls, is very thin and lightweight. One can know enough about the room by knowing that the very same combination of a light roof and heavy walls is used in firework factories. And, when I say 'know enough', I mean know enough to see it wise to go as far away as possible.

Coughing at the smoke in the room, Risp starts to speak. However, cutting him off, is Tangent. "Don't you think the light in here really improves the decor, lieutenant general?"
"But, isn't there an easier-" Risp gives in. "Decided to get a sunroof?"
"Yes, I think it will be a great addition. But, seriously, I think I am nearing a breakthrough. I just need to..."
'He says this every day,' thinks Risp, 'but he seems to not ever get anywhere.'
"...and that is why there are two elements of water, but only one of electricity, even though thunder and lightning are two different things. Are you alright? You've gone glossy-eyed."
Risp snaps out of it. "And this means what?"
"Oh, I forgot to say that. I have nearly uncovered something big. Really big. Come and see."

[Xion]

<i>interesting.</i>

Before anything could be done...before any planesmage could rebuild what damage has been done, something had to be done. The one that initiated the planal ruin had to restore the planes to how he, or she, last knew them.

Xion was the one that destroyed the planes. He holds his hands in prayer form, and starts mumbling. A restoration spell.


Soon, a lush landscape appeared beneath Xion's feet. Gran Da Val has been restored to what he had last remembered...sans X-I. Malta, Diesel, and Tia surround him. Rach nuzzles Xion's leg. "Xion!" Tia says, in her usual bubbly tone, and leaps on Xion. Xion trips over his tail and lands flat on his back, Tia on him. "You...saved us?" She says, almost confused?

"Yes." Xion nods. "I saved everybody that I could." Xion lets out a sigh, and doses off right in the grass.



Now the stage is set for a new chapter. The books were wiped clean, and rewritten. Anything is possible now, and things are all fine.


...or are they?


<i>Since I was the one that killed the planes, Xion is a <u>Planesmage</u> after all. Xion was a planeswalker, but now is a planesmage. More abilities, more things he can do...but still same-old-Xion. Same-old-Tia. Same-old-Malta. Same-old-Diesel. Just a fresh outlook on the planes.

This happened just after the end of the first part of the game. I'm merely setting the scene.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>So, wait. Are you actually starting the second chapter, or are you simply getting ready for when it will start? Oh, and thinking about it, the random story thingies I am posting happen a bit after the universe restores, but before anything interesting truely happens.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Looks like you guys are having fun.

"OMGWTSBBQ!?!?111//" cries out X-I as she is erased from existance...

***

"Well, I hope you're happy. You just nuked an entire plane!"
"Can I help it if I have a pension for destruction?"
"...No."
"You can't keep me in here forever, L_G. I'll just break out and-"
L_G points a Blitz Cannon at Newb's face. (Blitz Cannon from Ratchet and Clank; copyright Insomniac(sp?) Games)
"...I'll be a good Kirby Repaint!!"
"I wish I could believe you, Newb. It's time I did something a long, long time ago..."
"What do you mean?"
"Remember my first avatar character? You're joining him."
"WHAT?! NO!!!"
"I have no choice, Newb. You did something unforgiveable and must be punished."
"I won't let you!! You created me; you can't just dump me! I WON'T LET YOU!!!!"
Newb attacks!!! Battle engaged!

TO BE CONTINUED. THIS BATTLE IS BETWEEN L_G AND NEWB. NO ONE ELSE MAY INTERFERE. K THNX. XD

[Risp_old]

<i>...and I can see there are only two ways this can end.</i>

[cooba]

Wait a moment, I don't know lot of stuff by now. Where the new base of Risp is?
Are we before, or after Pylon? Why I am not in your base you cheesecake?

Plz answer thx.

[Xion]

<i>So, wait. Are you actually starting the second chapter, or are you simply getting ready for when it will start?</i>
<i>The latter.

@cooba: This is after I wiped the entire plane out, and rebuilt it. So, this is the time when there was no pylon, but the world is restored as best as I could fit it. Many other planes are in the process of rebuild.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>The new base is on an unspecified planet in the same plane as Ragol is. It has no pylon, but it does have a magic amplifier in construction.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Waitwaitwaitwait...Your base is in the Agol System?</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Unless plane=solar system, no.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Oh. So, you're just in the same plane, not the Agol system. gotja.


So no immediate sieges on Gran Da Val. *phew*</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Attacking you isn't my first priority. My first priority is to get everything in order. Then I can attack you or L_G.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Remember: Attack my base and you got an ANGRY Gryphon on your back. So think out your course of action.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>How much is an angry gryphon to a fleet of spaceships and a small army?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Powerful, since he makes a huge cloud cover and you can't see him to attack.

And yes, sensors can not pick him up. Too much rain/lightning. And it's very close quarters, so you can't attack it with the ship.


You're better off attacking it on the ground. :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>A good fleet or just a high-power ship can melt the surface of a world and kill everyone on it who is not in a shelter several miles into the ground. While my fleet will never be that cool, I could bombard Ragol with nuclear bombs till your angry gryphon says 'uncle'. No stormclouds can stop that, since if you detonate a dirty nuclear bomb before it reaches the ground it will still spread radioactive fallout everywhere.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Hm. Ever wondered why Ragol is how it is? Yeah. Nuclear Fallout, almost. Photon Fallout, to be exact.

So your "nukes" may not do much.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Everyone there is immune to harmful radioactive fallout, because they constantly take in something with a similar name? Are they also immune to the damage from burns caused by the heat given off (the most immediate cause of causilties from an atomic bomb)? Are they immune to the mechanical injuries (falling buildings, flying glass, objects shooting around due to the explosion)? Are they immune to the psychological effects (not too much of an issue, since they probably already are very much aquainted with the idea of atomic weaponry, but still)? Are they immune to the combonation of these happening again and again?

Why do you keep saying "you ever wonder why (something) is (something)?"
I do not wonder much about your world, Xion, because you give me such puny information about it that I don't have anything to wonder about.

Are they immune to my pageclaim?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Buh...*drools* Too much info. NOTHING is immune to pageclaiming, except the pages themselves. X)

Brushing all off the dust the epic battle between L_G and Newb caused from himself, he looked up at his handiwork. There Newb was, frozen in a block of Red Ice, an ice so cold that conventional methods of heatin are useless against it. L_G walked up to the frozen Newb and said, "Told ya," with a sly smirk. "I think I'll just leave you in there until you're ready to answer all of Strato's questions, you little not nice name!"
L_G turned back to the house where Kamikura was waiting. "Are you sure they'll believe you?" he asks.
"If they refuse to believe me, then that's their problem," L_G replies. They both enter the hallowed halls of the home they called Pandemonium Manor.

[cooba]

So, Risp is building base far away of me and I have to search for him, while lot of rare creatures came out due to plane refresh. I'm already making one. And I bet that not even Xion could destroy as easily with his magic.

BUT THAT DON'T MEAN IT'LL BE MY ALLY!

[Risp_old]

<i>You are building your own base? Who is helping you?</i>

[cooba]

I am just searching for you, without of base, allies, and stuff. Mayan Pyramid on steamy planet is closed DDDDDDDDDDDD=

[Risp_old]

<i>I thought you said you were making a base also.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

I think he's searching for you while in the process of making his base.

....?

[Risp_old]

<i>Oh, wait. After analyzing that post of his with the red text, I think he might be making a rare monster for some reason, not a base.</i>

[cooba]

I still didn't finished him. However, I never said that this monster will be friendly to me. Also not for Xion or L_G. He'll be neutral.

Not evil,
not good,

neutral.

[Risp_old]

<i>Why are you making a monster if it will not help you?</i>

[cooba]

I am just bored.

[Xion]

<i>Idle hands is the devil's workshop, Cooba.</i>

[cooba]

Devil idles is the hands' c00bshop, Worxion.

[Lem_Gambino]

Devil idles is the hands' c00bshop, Worxion.
O_o Again you baffle us with weird writings, Cooba.

[Risp_old]

<i>So, L_G, got the jump on your new character skill sheets?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

No, not yet.

[Risp_old]

<i>Well, Strato is done, Cooba is done, I am done but sometimes just go in and tweak it, I have no idea about Xion but I doubt he is done, and you have not started. Half way there.</i>

[Xion]

<i>I have the list done, I just need to put down the damages and costs.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Good for Xion! Now don't you feel like a slacker, L_G?

Anyway, for bombardment, I don't feel antimatter bombs would be smart to use against a planeswalker, so they are out. How about hydrogen bombs? They are really good at killing living things. Or just high-yield normal bombs?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Hydrogen Bombs are out too...since they are based on photon radiation also. High-yield normal bombs...hmm. maybe.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Really, your people's immunity to photon radiation would only be useful if I was shooting lasers at you. Oh, and it would also make them get sunburned less.</i>

[cooba]

Does the new base have lab?

[Xion]

<i>Most technology you have is photon based, spare your "big bombs"</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

@Risp: I've been slacking because I have schoolwork to do. So nyah.:p Why not go with good old-fashioned nuclear warheads?

[Risp_old]

<i>Little of my technology is photon based. My peeps use ordinary bullet-firing rifles. I use a mini-railgun. My ships only use lasers for point-defense. Any atomic and hydrogen bombs I have are not photon based, because they are just ordinary nuclear and atomic bombs. Only one of my characters uses light much (Delta).

Oh, and what about neutron bombs? They kill living things very efficiently, but leave buildings standing- perfect for an invasion.

@L_G- I am considering using nuclear bombs, but Xion is claiming ordinary sunlight and radioactive fallout are one and the same, and thus nuclear bombs are useless on him.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Photon technology does not have to be all light, you know. Nuclear Fallout has the same effects as, oh, a Photon fallout.

Oh yeah, Olga Flow's still running rampant through the seas...don't want to anger him, now do we? :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Photon fallout is a meaningless word if you think about it any. Radioactive fallout is matter that was made radioactive by a bomb. This cannot happen with light. Light cannot be made radioactive because it already is radiation. The way radioactive fallout enters someone is by them breathing it in, mainly. You cannot breathe in light, unless you turn your head up and open your mouth.

And I don't know that non-light things can be photon based, because it isn't true. Unless we are using different definitions of photons

I have no idea who Olga's flow is, but I bet if I raised the seas to boiling point he won't be too much of a problem anymore.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

I think Xion's talking about some sea creature named Olga.

[Risp_old]

<i>Considering he said 'Olga Flow's', Olga Flow is most likely the entire name, unless Olga or Flow is a title.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Olga Flow...creature released early in the game...

Look through for when I first meet Rach.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>You do realize you just ignored all the real important things I said?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

...!! Beta 69! That creature that Xion was chasing after...is Olga Flow! =OOO

BTW, I forget what Beta's exact number is; please correct me if I'm wrong. ^_U

[Risp_old]

<i>... I suppose neutron bombs would be fine? Since the only thing that is light based is light, no matter what you say, they (along with nuclear and hydrogen bombs) should do fine.

Thinking about it, I find it intersting you keep on saying nonsensical things but you never even try to prove them and expect me to believe you, going as far as to ignore my arguments.</i>

<i>It's Beta068, you dolt.

Anyways..about the bombs thing...You are aware that less than 5% of the light spectrum is visible light, right? Yeah...X-rays are a form of light. Radio waves are a form of light...so if it fits in the wavelength spectrum it's considered photon based...since it is in light, just not visible.

If you would stay awake during your science classes, you <u>might</u> learn something. :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>That contradicts rule #7 (no finding loopholes). Also, it is contradicting the standards I have already put in place and defined, and thus is not true.

If you stay awake at your science class you might learn that bullets and missles are not photon based.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Very true. Did I ever say that bullets are photon based? Did I ever say that missles are photon based? No. I'm merely saying that your nukes are.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>You said all of my technology, except for my conventional bombs, is photon based.

I find that immunity strange. How does it work? Do photons that hit them vanish? Do photons bounce off? Do they pass through?

I find it funny that the person who was earlier running around faster than light without any ill effects is now trying to use science to his advantage.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

...I think it's time we enforced FFTA's World Law system. That'll make things interesting. >X)

[Risp_old]

<i>?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

You know, those World Laws that penalize or reward you for doing certain things? Xion knows about this, of course, since he plays Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

[Risp_old]

<i>I never played FFTA, so I don't know.

However, I do know this is a pageclaim.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

*facefalls* Yeah, I just remembered that... >_< Well, in FFTA there are Judges that watch every battle, and depending on what day it is and what World Law cards are in effect, you have different World Laws. If you break a law that say, outlaws swords, you'll be penalized and lose stats, money, and/or experience. However, if you do something that is recommended by the Laws that day, like casting a spell, you get Judge Points for special attacks. The World Laws change every day.

[Risp_old]

<i>I suppose some battles could be done that way, depending on the circumstances.</i>

[cooba]

*offtopic*

Risp, does the new base have lab?

[Risp_old]

<i>Yes, but not a large one.</i>

[cooba]

Then you could mix bombs' exploding stuff with genes of some rare creatures, like one I'm making.

[Risp_old]

<i>...</i>

[cooba]

Ahh... you're thinking. I know what a pain it is. It's hideous feeling.

[Risp_old]

<i>Actually, I am wondering why anyone would do that.

Oh, and I will show you the progress I have on my (and Strato's) combined character sheet, peep army unit list, and rules sheet as long as you promise to not show it to anyone else and only talk about it in PMs.</i>

[cooba]

For my mother, father, sister, aunt, uncle, little Maxi, my holy holiness PC, for Dopefish, for this thread, for Violet's hilarious review edits, for Derby, Frankwist, Trafton, for Foo Movies, Foo Hangman Game, for JJ2 and JCS, and whole lot of stuff...

Cooba promises!
Cooba takes somethingsomething!

[Risp_old]

<i>Alright. Let me finish up on this unit. Then I will upload it to my geocities account and send you the link via PM.</i>

[cooba]

Wait, peep army unit list in Geocities isn't actual by now?

[Risp_old]

<i>...?</i>

[cooba]

Oh. I messed up.

[Risp_old]

<i>For those of you who are not on the side of the Peep Army, I have a little teaser.

In the battles yet to be you must face deadly Elite troopers and suprisingly effective steam-age weaponry, while being held back by new and dangerous techniques for all my characters like double techs and temporary skill duplicating. In short, you will be in for a wild ride.</i>

[cooba]

-/-

Yes you did :(

[Risp_old]

<i>Didn't I tell you to only talk to me about it in PMs?</i>

[Xion]

<i>You said all of my technology, except for my conventional bombs, is photon based.

<i>1) Sorry...my mistake. That was before I knew about your rifles/minigun.

2) Mere absorbtion. Kinda like a sponge. And they use that as a powersource, sometimes. So, it <u>is</u> possible to overload a creature into submission. Though Photon-based weapons that are set to a specific frequency, i.e. photon weapons, do deal damage. Your bombs have a large spread of photon frequency, so they are able to absorb them all at their will...Think of it like slapping a jell-o mold...:p

3) Planesmagic is not science, it's magic!</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>1. That is understandable.
2. Then they would be invisible.
3. All I would have to do then is use magic nukes, then?</i>

[Xion]

<i>2: The energies released from your nukes are invisible except for your normal bombs, right? I rest my case.
3: Phantasm Skills, yes.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>2. If it is all invisible how come people who look into nuclear explosions have a nasty tendancy to be blinded?</i>

[Xion]

<i>2: Because the energies, may they be invisible, burn the rods and cones inside the eyes.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>2. So you are making stuff up about atomic bombs and hoping I don't notice, then?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Making stuff up? Pish-posh!</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>So you are basically saying that I should believe anything you say about atomic bombs as true (no matter how incredulous), even though I most likely know more about them than you do, having spent a month on a report on them for school?</i>

[Xion]

<i>...fine.

So Nuclear Fallout is not the same as Photon Falout. Fine.

[Risp_old]

<i>Now, I have got quite a bit of headway on the standards. I am now taking a modified version of my gamesheet, without all the unit stats and skill charts, and showing you it.
Here it is-

I am open to suggestions.</i>

[cooba]

You deleted The Secret Files from there, nice.
And check your PMs, Risp =)

Suggestions :

[Risp_old]

<i>Pm'ed you back.</i>

[cooba]

*few PMs later*

w00t.

[Risp_old]

<i>Indeed.</i>

[cooba]

YaY!

Now, seriously, I'm taking sorta intro...

Cooba, the battle mage, woke up in some uncertain location, probably on Ragol. The DragonBall and map for rest of 'em he was having, weren't near to him.
"Grr.. just knock it. Now I have to search for Rspss... alone." - he said, summoning the travel blob on him and floating out somewhere.
Meanwhile, in the bushes nearby the place where he was, wierd creature did strange noise, and somehow, flew after him...

[Risp_old]

8:31 AM
Rspss Fr, following Tangent, walks up to the door of a building built into the wall of a mountain. Glancing in the distance at the two bunkers protecting here and the giant skywatcher AA tank rumbling back and forth, Risp is satisfied that Tangent's experimental magic labratory, kept far away from the main base in case of accident, is well guarded. After Tangent signals inside, the door opens and a orange peep comes out. Seeing who they are, the orange peep leads them inside. After walking through several long passageways all leading slightly downwards, they eventually reach a large, dome-roofed chamber. The orange peep goes down a side passageway, but Risp and Tangent continue to the center of the chamber. In the center is a large pit leading far down to the core of the planet they are on. Tangent quickly casts a spell, and a jet of flame erupts from the pit. A moment later, a faint glow of blue light can be seen coming from behind the rapidly thinning jet of flames, strangely illuminating the chamber more than the flames did despite it's low intensity. As the flames totally clear away, it can be seen that there is a rip in space over the pit, spewing blue light from it's edges and hinting at a strange landscape beyond.

Tangent motions to it, and Risp crains to see...
"Behold," Tangent says in a dramatic tone, "the chaos lands."

[Xion]

<I>HEY! WOAH! *Whistle* TIME OUT.

Tangent...is back?</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Why are you suprised? The last little story segment I posted had Tangent in it, and the one before that mentioned him being in my base. Or is this just another case of you not paying attention to what I am saying?

Tangent is not dead for the same reason you have the shell you started the game with.</i>

[Xion]

<i>The latter...I didn't see Tangent in there before.

Hopefully he won't be hell-bent on my destruction...even though the timewarp did wipe his memory too.

[Risp_old]

<i>He was never hell-bent on your destruction. He was hell-bent on L_G's destuction.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Yes he was...after I pwned the crap out of him.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>No, he still didn't care about you. You could cheat and come back from the dead; L_G could destroy the universe and call upon immensly powerful beings at will. Tangent had his sense of priorities straight.</i>

[Xion]

<i><u>Had?</u> Remember who vipped the entire fabric of time!</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>L_G.

I will also remember in time that it was I who claimed this page.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Umm...Planal Ruin? What about That spell? I vipped everything!</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I thought you meant when L_G destroyed the universe permanintly. Besides, at the time Tangent didn't know you were able to use pseudo-infinity magic, a skill only usable by the greatest of mages (he underestimated you because you seemed to rely on dirty tricks more than skill).</i>

[Xion]

<i>But the dirty tricks come from pure skill, though.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I agree with you there. They do come from skill. If you had more skill you wouldn't need them.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Every technique uses poishing to perfect...Just my techniques focus more on Guerilla warfare than on head-to-head conflicts.

That's why I have BLINK. :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I was more talking about how I can beat you in one or two turns if you do not exploit loose wording or attack in ways hard to counter (like moving at nigh impossible speeds).</i>

[Xion]

<i>And planeswalking?

Well, Blink has it's ups and downs...I can skip two actions in my next battle phase and deflect a single attack...ANY Attack...to boot.

So think twice when using an overdrive.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Considering I have had a new unit for several days that has a skill that keeps enemies from running away, planeswalking will not be too useful. And Glock could easily make blink useless.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Oh? And how is that?</i>
