The Post-3.1 Game

[Risp_old]

<i>Sorta magic. Special magic. You will know it when you see the unit, or at least if you pay attention.</i>

[Xion]

<i>I doubt I'll see it before you explain it.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Well, I hope to use that unit pretty early on.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Now comes the difficult part for me. I need to figure out a way to restart the game in june. See, I need several things for this. First, I need a goal that makes sense from my perspective yet forces me to continue this war with Xion and L_G, and also forces them to continue the war with me. Second, I need to have an excuse to still fight L_G even after he beat Newb. This I have an idea for-

Someone or something keeps the frozen Newb from ever reaching me, and then something forces the real L_G to go away from Anima to this plane. In here, I still do not know about the L_G I know being fake thing, and thus attack him. Since I have such a low opinion of him, I would think any explanation of said L_G I know being fake thing at this point would be a lie to try to divert my attention. However, for this to work something would need to happen to keep L_G from retreating back to Anima and hiding there like he has a tendancy to (since he would lack any reason to keep fighting me at that point and would probably just go back.)

While that idea has some holes in it, it still has potential and if those holes were filled it would work perfectally. Any suggestions from anyone?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

*thinks of Sin from Final Fantasy X*

[Risp_old]

<i>Err... what?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

I was thinking that Sin, the big ugly fish creature from FFX would be the one to keep L_G (or anyone else, for that matter) from traveling between dimensions. It could warp time, and trap everyone in a never-ending time loop (like in the first Final Fantasy game), and it would get stronger and stronger until...BAM! no more universe.

Sounds like fun, yes? BTW, Sin won't be on anyone's side. It'll go around and blow stuff up, then leave and blow some more stuff up. I (as in the real-life me) would control all of it's actions, randomly attacking areas and player characters (including mine) until someone defeats it.

[Risp_old]

<i>Considering what your idea of 'random' is, if that happens I will most likely find myself baseless at the start of the second chapter. However, that also would give you an excuse to go in.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

It could be anytime; when I say random, I MEAN random. He could attack a bunch of other places and not even know you exist, unless you attack him. Then he'll beat you to a pulp (as you, your character, not necessarily your whole base, although it might get lost in the process). Basically, Sin just floats around and blows up whatever. It MIGHT come after you, it may not. Depends on where your base is.

[Risp_old]

<i>Considering how large the universe is, if it picks targets totally randomly, I would be suprised if it picks any one of us throughout the game. Besides, you have a history of being bad at randomly doing things.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Bleah, I wasn't thinking back then. XP

[Risp_old]

<i>As long as you promise Sin will not attack more than one of my characters at a time or damage my base, and will not attack me more than once every 50 story posts, I am fine with that plan.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Okey-dokey. But it WILL attack if you provoke it enough, but only if it sees you as a major threat. So, it'll leave alone for a good long while.

[Risp_old]

<i>Ok. Here is what I see so far-
You sent frozen Newb to me. However, Sin, having escaped to here from another plane, absorbs him. Now with Newb's knowledge of Animenia (or whatever that place is called), it knows to go to Animenia so it can use all the energy there to restore and strengthen itself. You, realizing this, rush in to stop Sin. Going with the best fighers and mages from your realm, you enter this plane. However, at this time, Sin warps time to keep anyone else from entering or leaving. All your gaurdians, who were elsewhere when you entered, now cannot enter and easily dispose of Sin like they could have otherwise. When here, I attack you and pretty much force you to fight a two-way war between Sin (suped up with Newb's power), and the Peep Army, and without your millenium pen (which only works in Animenia, right?) to allow you to use infinity magic, ancient magic, or (most) high magic.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

A few things:
-L_G is learning High Magic. >: ) He MIGHT get Ancient Magic, but he has to do stuff to get it, and with all the other stuff going on, he may or may not get around to it. =O
-Sin will attack anyone and everything that it considers a threat.
-Newb is pretty weak, so Sin won't get much from him.
-I was thinking that -you- would come after -me.- That would make it easier to explain stuff. But I'm willing to adjust; I have a plan in the works.
-You -DID- play FFX...right????????

Guess who's back! Go on, I dare ya. Better yet, try guessing her last name. XD

[Risp_old]

<i>1. As for ancient magic, it is still impossible for you to learn this. The only people who know it are the immortals and semi-immortals, and they can only teach people who have lived more than two milenniums and are immortal or semi-immortal.
2. No problem here.
3. Not too much of a problem here
4. I am not stupid. If I came after you I would be attacking you on your own terf, and you could use infinity magic against me.
5. No.
6. I? But, anyway, AIs will not be the killer weapons they were in the last chapter.</i>

[Xion]

<i>No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!


X-I is back? GRRR...

Unless she was completely hardcoded again, she doesn't exist. :p</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

@Risp: Darn, I forgot about that. XP
@Xion: As for Polly (her last name is Nomial...get it? XD), she doesn't even know Xion exists since her memory was wiped when Xion reset the universe. L_G salveged her main program, but he had to upgrade it and rewrite the code for her program.

[Xion]

<i>*phew* thank goodness. Because X-I was just evil.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

No, she was just trying to get you to find Newb so she could get back home.

[Xion]

<i>Well she could have just <u>SAID</u> that and I would have helped! She didn't have to take over Malta and Tia!!!</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

That's why I'm upgrading her, so she doesn't act like some noob.

Polly asked you, but you were asleep and she got impatient. That will also be corrected.

[Xion]

<i>When I say "Let me sleep" I mean it! I SLEEP THROUGH ANYTHING.

Flow could fling a tidal wave into Gran Da Val and I'll sleep through it. :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>That is some sound sleeping.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

And most likely die, unfortunately. We wouldn't want that, now would we?

Perhaps you should alarms in all of the people who are chipped. That way, you can wake up and react to stuff when it happens.

[Risp_old]

<i>And Polly could drive everyone crazy if she pleases.</i>

[Xion]

<i>And Polly could drive everyone crazy if she pleases.</i>
<i>If she even annoys me the SLIGHTEST bit, I will take her offline.

I have the technology.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

...Darn, I can't think of any witty retorts. Prolly 'cuz I'm playing Jazz 2 right now. XD Later.

[Risp_old]

<i>I would easily have the power two if L_G didn't keep on insisting that she is the best hacker in existance.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

You misspelled "too". Pwned! :p

[Risp_old]

<i>I meant it that way. The 'power two'. It is like all those terms Xion says, seemingly made up on the spur of the moment.

I use my power two to claim the page!</i>

[Risp_old]

8:36 AM
Tangent takes a step towards the portal, and then another, walking up like on an invisible staircase. He stops next to the portal, turns, and motions to Risp. Risp, after hesitating for a moment, follows suit using a pair of jetboots. After going in, the first thing that Rspss Fr sees is... blue. The landscape is extremely blue. The sky, or is it a sky?, is pure, monotone blue. The ground, while being a brown, is glowing blue with energy. Once he gets over the blueness, Risp begins to see this landscape fully. The ground he is standing on is a large chunk of ordinary brown dirt, faintly luminescent with the immense energy Risp senses in this land, is bobbing gently in an imaginary breeze while otherwise seemingly suspended, gravityless, in space. There are dozens of other platforms around here, in all directions from where Risp is standing. The sky, for lack of a better word, is simply a blue glow- no clouds, no texture. The portal, behind him, is the most visible object here. Now spewing red at the edges, Risp is fully sure where it leads and is glad it is a very long-livid spell. Turning his attention back to Tangent, Rspss Fr sees that his head mage is doing an experiment. The cloaked mage is levitating his orb above his hand, and watching the energies of the place collide with the energies of his orb. Tangent turns to Risp, and starts to speak.
"There. I should keep the orb like that for a while. Now, I suppose you want to know about the chaos lands."
Risp nods. "You suppose correctly."
"Well good, because even if you said no I would have told you. Now, the chaos lands are rather special for an alternate universe. In some accident, I know not what, all the stars in it simultaneously went supernova. All the mana inside them was forced out, and held together some of the chunks from the disintegrating planets. These platforms we are standing on are some such chunks. The infinite energy released from the stars also killed those few creatures who survived the supernovas, mainly immortals and semi-immortals. The loose energies here are extremely useful for mages, if they can withstand it... Ah, the orb is done."
Tangent snaps his fingers, and his orb, now humming with blue energies, lowers into his hands. He puts the orb in his pocket and then turns to the portal.
"That energy should be useful... well, my work here is done."
Tangent leaves through the portal, closely followed by Risp, thinking over what Tangent said.


<i>Quite wordy, but it needed to be said. Sadly, the next part will need to be wordy too.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Wordy nothing. Keep writing, this is getting interesting. Perhaps there is some evil force that wishes to use the chaos lands' excess energy to rule the universe? (not me of course XP)

[Xion]

<i>Tangent, I bet, is thinking that, Lem. :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Nah. To get that much energy Tangent would have to stay in the chaos lands for quite a while, and anyone who stays there for too long dies.</i>

[Xion]

<i>That's what the orb is for! Duh!!</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>If the orb is spending most of it's energy reanimating Tangent it can no longer store the needed energy to take over the universe, and neither can Tangent.</i>

[Xion]

<i>hm.

Well, there is a way that these energies can be channeled into taking over the world here...and I may be the only one that may have this idea.

Tangent...can I ask a question about tangent?


Is Tangent a planeswalker?</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>He knows spells for interdimensional travel. However, he lacks knowledge of how to rapidly do so (which is actually very low-level high magic), like planeswalkers do. Interpret this as you will, since I do not know the formal definition of a planeswalker.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Any person that can cross planes without any outside help (i.e. potions, machines, etc.) is a planeswalker. Lay that definition over Tangent and see if it's a match. If it is a match, then he is a planeswalker. If not, he is not.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Well, he can do it without any outside devices, but he perfers not to. I suppose he is.

Oh, and some more information about peeps-

A fully grown peep is about 1 foot high. A baby peep is a lot shorter, being the size you see the peeps sold in stores and such. Peeps live on a healthy diet of food coloring, sugar, and glucose. When fed the same color of food coloring for about a week, a peep will change to that color. The Peep Army takes advantage of this by feeding all the peeps of a certain class the same color of food coloring. As they mature, peeps learn to modify their marshmallowy form, mainly growing hands to handle things and such. Since peeps are not very comfortable in water, Peep Army infantry armor is resistant to water.</i>

[Xion]

Peeps live on a healthy diet of food coloring, <b>sugar</b>, and <b>glucose</b>.
<i>...Last time I checked, those two were one in the same.</i>

[Risp_old]

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=glucose&r=67
1. A monosaccharide sugar, C6H12O6, occurring widely in most plant and animal tissue. It is the principal circulating sugar in the blood and the major energy source of the body.
2. A colorless to yellowish syrupy mixture of dextrose, maltose, and dextrins containing about 20 percent water, used in confectionery, alcoholic fermentation, tanning, and treating tobacco. Also called starch syrup.
<i>See?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Tasty. :9

So, would a water-based attack have any effect on the Peep Soldiers?

[Risp_old]

<i>No, you would be better off with fire, which produces more spectacular results.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Thanks.


Peep Army + Prominence + Gram Crackers + Hershey's Chocolate = SMORES

[cooba]

SMORES + Me = FOO PRODUCTS

[Risp_old]

<i>Well, you forgot two things. First, not all of my troops are Peeps. Second, I have anti-mage troops.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Anti-mage? Like Tangent?


haha...Did you fix Tangent's loophole?<i>

[cooba]

Something worse, Xion.

[Risp_old]

<i>More like Martin.

I don't need to fix his loophole, since
1. it is against the rules to exploit it, since it is entirely in it's wording =D
2. he won't be transforming into that form again D=</i>

[Xion]

<i>I'm talking about his Chaos Iron. So that's not coming out?

I wanna incorperate Glitching into this game...that'd be cool.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I know what you are talking about. However, by doing this expirement he lost his ability to become a chaos reaper.

If glitching was incorperated, you would loose one of your most damaging strategies.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Oh yes. the Antimatter cell.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>No, I am talking about the running-around-faster-than-light stuff.</i>

[Xion]

<i>That's planeswalking.

Blink works like this.

1) portal is ripped right where Xion is standing, making him rift into a "temp" plane.
2) portal is ripped where Xion wishes to go, from memory. Xion can only blink to places he can see. So if he's in a fog, blink does not work.
3) Xion rifts back to the plane from the "temp" plane.

Since this is all magic on the stack of time, it can be done in a second. Though there is a "cooldown" of this, since Xion needs to regain his balance and his bearings on where he is in the current plane.

So, thanks to this cooldown, Xion can not blink twice within two turns. Twice in three turns, yes. Blink-cooldown-Blink.<i>

[Risp_old]

<i>So you are saying that the trick to having faster-than-light reaction times is to use teleportation...?</i>

[Xion]

<i>*nod*</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>That makes no sense whatsoever.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Well, that and a reaction-ability called "Reflex"</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>So, this skill that allows you to teleport somewhere with a cooldown and a skill that gives you enormously fast reaction times allows you to constantly run around faster than light?</i>

[Xion]

<i>yes. But Reflex prevents normal attack, not magic/abilities.

So if one of your units has like a freeze spell that stops me cold...literally...I'm open to attack.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I think I am going to stop arguing. Trying to figure out how knowing how to teleport and having good reflexes allows you run faster than light without creating sonic booms makes my head hurt. I think I will do some nice, easy to understand quantum physics.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Good idea.

Teleportation allows lightning speed. That's all you need to know.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Since teleportation seems to work on a per-teleport basis instead of a per-time basis, I would think that would just allow you one super-speed step before you would have to deal with the cooldown.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Exactly.

For example, here's an example of a battle sequence.

Risp Attacks Xion with Heavy Blade!
Xion uses Blink!
Risp Attacks Xion with his Overdrive Attack!
Xion is dead and crispy.

<s>See, I can't blink out of an overdrive.</s> So I need to use caution with the Blink ability, since I need a cooldown...my next action phase.

Don't worry, I have a failsafe for this too.

Edit: My error. I meant to say "I can't blink out of the second move, the overdrive." I can blink out of overdrives, but that's only if Blink is a readied spell.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Oooh. No wonder I was so confused. We were talking about something entirely different all along.

Well, I am happy most of my people's overdrives are spells.

Here is another species description-

Aghe (pronounced a-hee, or something)-
An Aghe is similar in size to a human being. They also have a similar outward appearance. The similarity ends there. Aghes have grey skin and can have eyes of almost any color. Their diet is mainly of meats of various kinds, though they also eat some fruits. They have achieved a nearly unsurpassed understanding of computers, and most of their society is computerized in some way. The orginization of the Cyber Lords is based upon them; all the Cyber Lords except Fia'onn is an Aghe, and most, but not all, of their subordinates (hackers, programmers, and roboticists) are Aghe. Aghes live an average of 150 years, though with the level of medicine today many live over 250.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

FYI: The following Pokemon attacks can't be dodged, but they can be blocked if certain attacks. They are: Swift, Faint Attack, Magical leaf, Shadow Punch, Shockwave, and Vital Throw. Using Lock-On or Mind Reader before an attack also makes it never miss, and Foresight and Odor Sleuth(sp?) negate the targets previous evasion effects.

Just thought I'd let you know.

@Xion: Two things:
-Glitch would wreck everything in the universe as we know it,
AND
-Planeswalkers aren't the only one with ubersonic speed: In Dragonball Z, Goku can use Instant Transmission to warp from point A to point B in a heartbeat.

[Risp_old]

<i>That isn't ubersonic speed. That is teleportation. The two things are totally different.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Yeah, but the speed of Xion's teleportation is, well...fast. Really, REALLY fast. I just hope it's not a Quickspell...

[Risp_old]

<i>Not too much, since it has a cooldown.

However, my pageclaiming skillz don't have a cooldown!</i>

[Risp_old]

9:10
A hovercar, coming from the west, parks to the stop outside a building. Coming out of it are Tangent and Risp. As they walk to the building, Risp looks up to the sign there- "The Official Peep Army Museum of War throughout the Ages." After wondering why Tangent brought him here, Risp walks in. When inside, a curious peep would normally first notice the ancient ironclad ships and strange antique weapons of war. However, in this situation, a curious peep would first notice the giant rune circle Tangent had etched into the floor eariler, and is now moving an old machine gun (from back when machine guns were considered artillery) into. Risp, knowing that if Tangent wants to explain something he will without asking, remains silent. And, sure enough, after finishing dragging the gun around Tangent starts to explain. "I hope you won't mind if I use this for a test of my new power."
Risp opens his mouth to say yes, but Tangent already had started casting a spell on it. Chanting the spell, Tangent's chains flow with energy and start to glow blue. A strange blue, a blue that fills the room and draws the attention of everyone while being very faint. The same blue glow that came from the portal to the chaos lands. A burst of energy... blue energy... spirals to the machine, and it empowers it. From ages now long past, energy drifts into the gun, and grow greater and greater as it meets the energies present in the world today. The glows fade away, and Tangent turns to Risp.
"There. That test was a success. Now, let us try this gun..."

[Lem_Gambino]

Now THAT's what I call an upgrade! I bet it'll fire uberfast, armor-piercing bullets now, huh?

[Risp_old]

<i>It does not work any different now. Sorta. Well... you'll find out when I make the next part. Soon.</i>

[Risp_old]

9:14
Tangent and Risp walk out, and head north. In a camp up north, the last of the troops from a rival army are. They have been preparing a strike against the Peep Army for a few days now, but they had proven hard to root out, since while they were all infantry they are also highly manuverable and equipped with personal force-field generators that deflected small-arms fire. Their missle troops had successfuly kept airstrikes out, so the only real option would be a clash of infantry. Risp lays the machine gun down onto an overlooking ridge and, not knowing what to expect, fires it straight into the mass of soldiers. The bullets spew forth, and the camp soon becomes a killing zone. The bullets from the machine gun slide through all the force-fields like they did not exist, and kill the enemy effortlessly.

After seeing the white flag of surrender raised at the camp, Risp turns to Tangent. "What did you do to that gun?"
"I called it's power from the past. When this machine gun was first made, an attack from a machine gun onto a camp of totally unprepaired and unarmored soldiers would have produced a similar result. But, you say, they were armored? Their force-fields were no use. Such things did not exist in the past when this machine gun was made so they do not exist to this gun's bullets. Ironically, such ancient weapons as these will be among the Peep Army's most modern and powerful weapons."
Tangent smiles.

<i>However, this gun would not be so effective in the war against Xion and L_G. Since they more rely on magic or enchanted armor for protection, they would be safe. In this alternate universe magic was known all the way back to the medival period, perhaps before then, and magic protection was the only thing keeping machine guns in wars from creating the killing zones machine guns created in the real world when they were first used.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

So much for the upgrade...
Another Pokemon move: Brick Break. It damages the target and shatters its shield protection, if it has any. Close range; physical.

Who were these soldiers? Are they another easter candy you enjoy? XD

[Xion]

<i>Attack of the chocolate bunnies!!!</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Nah. They were just nondescript soldier people.

Also, sadly, I cannot eat peeps, since I have braces D=</i>

[Xion]

<i>Oh, in that case...

*bites the head off of a peep*</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>taunting me?

*Bites the head off a Xion*</i>

[Xion]

<i>yes.

I like to torture my peeps...I let them dry out before I eat them. Make them bone dry before I BITE THEIR HEADS OFF!!! *evil laugh*

*ahem* Sorry, I don't know what came over me.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>See, you would make a great villan!</i>

[Xion]

<i>...a two faced villian...maybe.<i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Peeps = Marshmollows + Sugar Coating
Wooden Skewers X Peeps + Open fire + (Graham(sp?) Crackers X Hershey Bars) = SMHMORES =9

*bites the head off of a chocolate Cooba* Want some? I got Traftons, Radiums, Coppertops, 4I Falcons, FQuists, Derbys, and L_Gs. Only 100 zenny each.

[Risp_old]

<i>Sadly you will be unable to do this in the heat of battle.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

That's why I'm making good use of the downtime.

[Risp_old]

<i>I might as well too. *Kills a DBZ character*</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Which one? *claims post #1337* XD

[Risp_old]

<i>I don't really care.

And you have no right to claim posts you do not make. So, basically, that post claim was like saying you own microsoft and are immortal- no matter how much you say it, it will not become true.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Unless you have the Dragonballs...nah. Not interested. *gives Risp his #1337 post back*

[Xion]

<i>I can get L_G the 1337 post...easy.

Just delete a fluff post. :p</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

GASP! Logic, my best friend and worst enemy, as come to my aid! Sort of. But which to dee-leet?

[Risp_old]

<i>1. That's cheating.
2. I can play that game also.</i>

[Xion]

<i>I dunno...all of them? :p</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

If we delete all the posts, how will anyone know what happened until this point?

[Risp_old]

<i>Quick question, Xion- can blink prevent any technique used, or only techniques used on the caster?</i>

[Xion]

<i>the latter, risp.

Xion's blink is very new to him, so it is very basic.

However, the more he uses it, the better he may become. Later, he can save his entire party with a cooldown or save his own hide with no cooldown, and even later than that he can save his entire party with no cooldown.

However, since he just became a planesmage at the end of season 1, he cannot use these advanced techniques. Maybe season 3 we could see these advancements.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

O_O Methinks this skill ish too powerful. All in favor of banning this skill say "I"! *several people in the audience say "I"*

I.

[Risp_old]

<i>I don't know.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Think about it- If Xion is allowed to use Blink enough, he'll eventually get to the point where he has no cooldown, and Blink around all he wants, while saving his party in the process! He'll be nigh-invincible! (as long as he has MP-restoring items, and lots of cash...)
Houston, we have a problem.

[Risp_old]

<i>There are two counters I can think of that would pretty much take that out of the picture.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

...Portable-Magic Amplifier?

[Risp_old]

<i>Nah. That isn't even something I have for this new chapter. But, anyway, both the counters are new spells. Both are rather devistating. And, before you mention Xion's mirror shield, I have ways to get around that, and get the best of both worlds (the not-getting-prevented-by-the-mirror shield world, and the not-getting-countered-by-blink world.)</i>

[Xion]

<i>Xion is a planesmage, and will always stay a planesmage.

No shieldbearer here, so no mirror shileld.


Anyways, if you think about it, if I relied too much on blink I would not be dealing much damage without haste. I could take <u>some</u> damage, and deal massive damage back.

Besides, I'm telling you right now, taking into account the length of season 1, I would become incredibly invincible by...oh...season 4? Maybe season 5 if there's very little fighting.

[Risp_old]

<i>And I am becoming more powerful, so the same would happen to me.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Yep, it's called "experience"</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Except for L_G, who mainly progresses through getting beat up.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Yeah, it's hard to gain experience when you're constantly dying. :p</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

L_G fwaps Risp and Xion with a frozen bagel. Both are KO'd. L_G gains 238901730 exp! =D

Risp takes 1000 damage from poison!

[Risp_old]

<i>I looked it up a while ago. I remember in FFTA Maitenece keeps your stuff from being stolen. It has nothing to do with exp; that you made up just because you wanted to look cool.</i>

Risp motions around. Seventeen mirrors appear around him, and spin like a giant wheel. They grow smaller and smaller, and flow closer and closer to him. Suddenly, they all break as a wave of energy eminates from Risp. Risp used mirror wheel!

Risp is back to full health and has all negative status effects cured!
Xion is back to full health and has all negative status effects cured!
L_G has the stop status effect!
ItaDS has the stop status effect!

[Lem_Gambino]

Just so you know: you've stolen my exp, but I still have all the stats I accumulated.

'ACK, I say, ACK!' thinks Alexis.

Maiden of Aqua Alexis has joined the battle!
Dark Magician Girl Jeanie has joined the battle!
Injection Fairy Lily Beth has joined the battle!
St. Joan...um, Joan has entered the battle!

Alexis uses the Deep Aqua Mirror!
Risp takes 17394 HP damage and has been stopped!
Xion takes 25730 HP damage and has been stopped!
Alexis attacks! Xion takes 13845 HP damage!
Jeanie casts Multi-Waterga!
Risp takes 8734 HP damage!
Xion takes 14739 HP damage!
Jeanie attacks! risp takes 7394 HP damage!
Beth uses Bazooka Syringe! Risp takes 13847 HP damage and is poisoned!
Beth attacks! Xion takes 6839 HP damage and is poisoned!
Joan casts Barrier of Light! All Light, Dark, and Lighting attacks cannot hurt the party now!
Joan uses a Barrier Elixer! All allies' HP is restored and all negative status effects are removed! The party is temporarily protected from status effects!

Beat that.

[Risp_old]

<i>See me beat it.</i>

Risp draws a circle into the ground, and the ground inside it fades away. From somewhere in space and time, black mist seeps from the hole. The room grows dark; all noise is instantly stopped. A low crackling sound comes from the hole, and fills the room with tiny black holes. Everything goes back to normal. Risp used Paradox Spanner!

Alexis take infinate warp damage!
Alexis is dead (and crispy)!
Jeanie takes infinate warp damage!
Jeanie is dead (and crispy)!
Beth takes infinate damage!
Beth is dead (and crispy)!
Joan takes infinate damage!
Joan is dead (and crispy)!

<i>I am using the strategy I have always used to help me in this battle- the more you bring against me, the more nasty stuff I send against you. And I can think of more nasty spells than Paradox Spanner.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

...HOLD IT. There is NO WAY you can cast an INFINITE AMOUNT of damage. YOU AREN'T EVEN IMMORTAL. ONLY SEMI-IMMORTALS AND IMMORTAL CAN USE INFINITY MAGIC; YOU SAID YOURSELF! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(

Of course, I have a way to remedy this...>=)

TWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!
"By the order of Queen Remedi and Prince Mewt, all forms of Infinite Magic, or any technique that inflicts an infinite amount of damage, shall henceforth be BANNED until further notice," says Judgemaster Cid, reading from a scroll.
"In other words, Mr. FR, you've been pwned. KTHNXBYE!"
Risp has been sent to prison! Risp cannot cast magic, use techniques or items (that includes weapons), or contact anyone outside of prison. All items of importance are confiscated from Risp and stored in an uber-secret storage area.

Time until Risp's sentence is over: 1000 posts. =D
Bail: 1 googleplex of zenny.

And no, you can't have your friends beam you out. Any attempt to do so shall result in the offenders being sent to jail.

And yes, you're in Solitary Confinement. All of the walls are soundproof,a dn there are no windows or cracks; not even a conveniently placed air-vent for you to use. But there is a really nice light bulb here.

I think I might transform this into my new Pre-3.1 RPG if the old RPG leaks through the cracks. I can see it now...

Ye cannot get ye flask.

^U^

[Risp_old]

<i>1. Contained paradox holes can deal infinate damage, without the user knowing infinity magic. Since we all are too overpowered here, I have magically aquired the ability to contain them.
2. It is kinda funny to ban infinity magic. It is impossible to enforce this unless you know inifinity magic yourself. And, in that case, it would be like banning banning things.
3. Why do all your best blows require you to invent a higher power to help you enforce it? Also, I didn't agree to have a judge here, so this is a no-judge zone.</i>

Judgemaster I-Can't-Think-Up-A-Good-Name says "Judgemaster Cid, this is not a zone authorized to have a judge watching over it, so you are not allowed to do that. In fact, you are now fired. Goodbye."

[Lem_Gambino]

"You have no authority to fire me, Sir I-Can't-Think-Up-A-Good-Name. Only the Queen has such power, and cannot be controlled by player characters (hint, hint). Besides, Ivalice is right over there!" Cid points to the Ivalice border, which is what Risp and L_G were standing on when they were fighting. Xion is there as well, but is stopped and poisoned. Badly. =O
"My apoligies, Sir Cid," Judge ICTUAGM replies. "However, if they're going to do battle, they will do it INSIDE country borders, WITH an authorized Judgemaster." He (she?) turns to L_G and says, "Are you coming or going, or what?"
"Um, going!" L_G says before teleporting away.
"What about him?" asks ICTUAGM to Cid, pointing at the frozen Xion. "Errr, just drop him off at the nearest inn and see to it that he's healed. Or something," he replies.

Um, let's not continue these random out-of-character battles for a while. My sister is graduating tomorrow, and I'll be on my last full month of school until I graduate. It's going to be stressful. See why I didn't wnat to continue this thread?

[Risp_old]

<i>I see. Well, I hope you will be able to actually do things without being stressed to death or whatever in june.</i>

[Strato]

Iso comes down equipped with his standard battle gear. He cracks his sword over Xion's skull. BIGHUGEUBERDEATHDAMAGE.

[Lem_Gambino]

L_G senses a great disturbance in the force, and teleports to Ivalice to find out what happened. Judgemaster ICTUAGN is on the ground, and so is Xion. Only the latter is dead and bleeding. "What just happened?!" demands ICTUAGN. "That Nu Mou was in need of medical help!"
L_G steps forward. "Hey, if you're going to cause trouble here, I'd consider reconsidering," he says sternly. "Start the battle, please."

BATTLE START!
WARNING: JUDGE IS PRESENT. WORLD LAWS IN EFFECT.
OUTLAWED: SWORDS
RECOMMENDED: BLACK MAGIC
NOTICES SHALL BE GIVEN WHEN LAWS CHANGE.

L_G:
HP: 150000/150000
MP: 20500/20500
OVERDRIVE: 10%

Iso has first move.

@Risp: Once again, logic never ceases to amaze me. I *MIGHT* get back to this, maybe.

[Risp_old]

<i>Have you been bribing the judges? It seems that way.</i>

[Xion]

<i>*ahem* You are aware that I'm on Ragol, and you're in the Shadow realm? So how can you attack me? haha...Planal Rift is a straight spell, and can not actually be "reversed" unless you have something like planal rift. :p


Basically, Planal Rift is making somebody else planeswalk...by force. :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I have made rules for judges. They are on the rules sheet (</i>http://www.geocities.com/rspss_27/Rulesalone.txt<i>)

Here are some example judges-

Judge Greenpeace:
Favors life magic
Penalizes radiation magic
Bans fire magic
Prize for life magic

Judge Brotherhood:
Favors stat-boosting attacks
Penalizes negative status effects
Prize for healing an enemy
Prize for charming an enemy

Judge Chaos:
Favors confusion-causing attacks
Bans curing confusion
Prize for hurting an ally

Judge Death:
Favors causing HP damage
Penalizes healing attacks
Bans life-restoring attacks (including re-raise)
Prize for killing an enemy

note when I say attacks that encompasses physical attacks, techniques, spells, and items</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

...O_o

A giant plothole appears, and warps everyone to Ivalice if they aren't there already.

Um, yeah. Or we just start another random storyline.

[Risp_old]

<i>Any judge here?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Judges appear whenever a battle is engaged in Ivalice. In Jagd, however, there are no Judgemasters or World Laws. There are no rules, but if you are dead when the battle ends, you have to revive them yourself. (In FFTA, characters that are dead at the end of the battle are gone for good unless you revive them before the battle ends. Fortunately, this isn't FFTA, so we don't have to worry about it.):D

[Risp_old]

<i>I'm glad this isn't FFTA also. That would be so hard to keep track of.</i>

[Xion]

<i>*nod* I just say "straight out battle, let god sort them out."</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I have no idea what you meant there, but OK.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Xion Attacks L_G!
L_G takes 200 damage!
L_G Attacks Xion!
Xion takes 150 damage!
Xion casts Stop!
L_G has been stopped!
Xion casts Meteor!
L_G takes 1000 Damage!
Xion Morphs into a Malboro!
Malboro Xion uses Bad Breath on L_G!
L_G is now Poisoned!
L_G is now Confused!
L_G is now a Frog!

L_G attacks himself!
L_G takes 1 Damage!
Xion Attacks L_G!
L_G takes 400 Damage!
L_G is now dead, crispy, and today's lunch entreé.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

...YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CONTROL MY ACTIONS, XION. But since it was in Italics, I'll overlook it...THIS TIME.>8)

[Xion]

<i>that's <u>EXACTLY</u> why I put it in italics. :p</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

By putting in Italics, that insinuates that you walked over to my place, tied me to some puppet control device, and have me beat myself up. Or something. XP

I WILL get my revenge, though...>=)

[Risp_old]

<i>Or charmed you with some spell, or something.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Not likely, since L_G is immune to mind control and all forms of having the enemy control you. Of course, that was out of game, so that rule (and just about everything else) was thrown out the window.

[Risp_old]

<i>You don't need mind control to charm someone. It is just the most direct way. For example, you could use careful illusions to trick the enemy into reaction certain ways.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Llllllllllllike...THIS?!

L_G creates an L_G dummy, animates it with voodoo magic, and teleports it into Xion's base.

I highly doubt this'll work...^^;;

[Risp_old]

<i>No, not like that. Imagine-
Me, you, and Xion are in an arena. You are on the same side as Xion. I make an illusion of me running in front of Xion. You take out a rifle and shoot in that direction. You hit Xion and kill him. Get the picture?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Got it, and it's hanging on my wall. :D

Thankfully, L_G is too smart to be deceived by such illusions. Intentionally.

[Risp_old]

<i>The only way to not fall for a really good illusion is to attack in random directions and hope you hit something you want to hit, since with a really good illusion you can't trust any of your senses.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Or just cast a spell that hits all enemies.

[Risp_old]

<i>That only works if you know someone is using an illusion on you.</i>

[Xion]

<i>*cough* They don't call them "Illusionists" for no reason...hahaha.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Wait, Illusionists actually create illusions?</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I am beginning to plan out my first moves. Now, I obviously won't tell them to anyone but Strato and possibly Cooba if he asks, but I will assure you Xion will get attacked- and not by space, but more or less by ground.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Then he'll nuke your troops with his Illusionist spells. Prominence(sp?), anyone?

[Risp_old]

<i>It would be interesting if he tried that. Some of the best troops I am sending to him constantly have the reflect status effect, or this one killer anti-magic ability. This would be the job for single-target spells.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Nah. Try a Freezeblink-Wild Tornado combo. :p

And yes, Illusionists make illusions...that become reality momentarily. When they become real they deal their damage, and they don't stay very long. Ever wondered why the field isn't snow covered after a Freezeblink? Yep: the snow is nothing but an illusion.


Don't worry, Xion is trying to make his illusions become full reality, so he can bend the fields to his advantage...

Pageclaim.

[Risp_old]

<i>A freezeblink-wild tornado combo for what?

I have never wondered anything about freezeblink, since you have never used it. And, when you do do things, you don't describe what happens.</i>

[Xion]

<i>I described one of my illusionist spells early in the game...with the five delbiters? That was a form of Soil Evidence, but it created the illusion of them all falling and getting crushed, and Rach was the only one that lived through the attack. See, Delbiters, and all other monsters in the seabed, turn to dust when killed. That's why the rest disappeared, and Rach lived, since the spell missed her.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>That wasn't either freezeblink or wild tornado, so it doesn't help me much.

And, what are you going to use that combo for?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Prominence- Burns all enemies with massive plumes of fire.
Tempest- Attacks all enemies with a lighting storm.
Freezeblink- Um...covers enemies in ice, them shatters the ice, damaging all targets.
Star Cross- Rains stars from space to strike all enemy targets.
Stardust- Summons meteors to smash enemies to pieces.
Deluge- Attacks all enemies with a maasive torrent of water.
Soil Evidence- Creates an earthquake to damage all enemies.
Wild Tornado- Hits all targets with a massive gust of wind.

I've never gotten far enough to see these spells in action, so I just made this up as I go. Speaking of which... *goes off to play FFTA* ^U^

[Xion]

<i>hahahha, I have a Nu Mou with all of these MASTER. :p I WIN.

He's almost perfect in Illusionist, I just need the Mythril Rod. :lol:</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

I assume that Nu Mou is you...or not. I'm not very far into my game, so you wouldn't want to waste time with my newbie Seeker clan.

[Risp_old]

<i>I don't even have FFTA, so I have nothing to say.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Nah. Not when I got Babus, Ezel, Ritz, <b>AND</b> Shara on my side. Now all that's left is to get Cid. :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>In FFT, I have the game's Cid. He is really overpowered.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Cid is crazy in FFTA...He can pull all these different law manipulations...

Abate - Skip the Judge's turn once to get away with law violation
Judge Sword - Slash and steal JP
Bind - Disables and immobilizes for arrest
JP Gift - Gives own JP to a friendly unit
Yellow Clip - Removes a Yellow Card from Record.

[Risp_old]

<i>FFT cid (called Orlandu, and only known as a cid since his nickname is 'thundergod cid') has all the special swordskills of most other characters. He can learn swordskills that destroy the enemies' equipment, steal their mana or HP, or deal lots of damage and sometimes add status effects. Also, he is really powerful. Really, really, powerful. For example, when he uses stasis sword, a skill that hurts and sometimes stops all enemies in it's radius, he deals around 250 damage. The other character than knows stasis sword only deals around 50 damage a hit.</i>

[Xion]

<i>That's FFT. This is FFTA...new game. :p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I know. Since you were rambling on about an unrelated game, I though I should too.</i>

[Xion]

<i>*nod* back to the game at hand.</i>

Xion wakes up, to see Tia sleeping on him. Xion lets out a sleepy sigh, and gives Tia a small kiss on her lips. "adorable." Xion whispers, then carefully places her back onto the bed they were sleeping on.

Xion looks around him. Nothing's changed. Computer still where it was, running his scanning program. Scrolls next to the computer, so he can figure out new techniques...Xion counts them, and notices there's one more than before. Xion finds the new scroll, with a small note on it.

<font face="Times New Roman">Dear Xion,

Seeing as we all owe you a thanks of gratitude for your new found powers, we all here think that you should have something. Inside this scroll is a powerful new spell, when used correctly can be very devestating. I hope you get more bang for your gil. :)

Signed,

A Fellow Planeswalker</font>

"awwr." Xion says, after reading it. Upon opening the scoll, Xion cocks his head sideways. "What the...Ancient magic?" Xion analyzes some of the text, but to no avail. "This is complete foreign to me. I should get this to a computer, but seeing how it's so old I might wreck it with Photon technology. Best not risk it." Xion re-rolls the scroll, and replaces the ribbon around it. Xion sits down in his chair and checks out his planal search map.

<i>hehehe. When I feel Xion is ready for this powerful spell, he will get it. Let's just say that in some cases it's the most powerful spell ever concieved, yet in others it's the worst ever created.


And yes, with a combo that includes this spell, Xion can change the field around...for a chunk of mana. A huge chunk of mana, too. :D</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>There is a darkside to learning really powerful spells...</i>

[Xion]

<i>There is. That's why it's ancient magic.

And anybody that is familiar with FFTA, the ribbon is a hint to what the spell is...:p

[Risp_old]

<i>You are most likely not thinking about what I am thinking about. But I don't blame you about that.</i>

[Xion]

<i>L_G might know what spell I'm speaking of...

...And no, it is not ultima magic.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Lessee...Ribbon blocks all status effects...Astra, perhaps? There's 1,000,005% chance I'm wrong, though. *looks at FFTA Player's Guide*

[Xion]

<i>Think <u>harder</u>, L_G. What is the most powerful magic in the game... *hint hint*</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

...!!!! ACK! OMGIthinkIknowwhatitisit'sQueenRemedi'sspellthatsh eusestochangetheworldlawsduringthefinalbattle!!!! How do I know this? I looked up a guide on GameFAQS and stuff.

Of course, I could be wrong...but then again, I never beat FFTA yet...^^;;

[Xion]

<i>Nice try.

But think...What ability can be used in the game that can be linked to a RIBBON?</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I am thinking of making it a rule for characters that for every elemental strength past their first they must have an elemental strength. Anyone agree?</i>

[Xion]

<i>I'm confused. Explain, please.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Basically, for every elemental strength a character has past their first they have to have an elemental weakness. This is to keep players from having too many elemental strengths compared to their weaknesses.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Elementals! What have I been telling you!

Xion has elementals of Fire, Ice, and Wind. Weaknesses are Water, Water, and Earth. But, since the Water is twice, Water gives a 3x weakness. :)</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I already know that. You do not need to tell me again.</i>

[Xion]

<i>I'm merely giving it as an example.

Thus, the only bonuses that can be without penalty is from weapon boosts...like my Lotus Mace...*strokes lotus mace*


Oh. Another piece of the story could be nice.</i>

Tia wakes up, and slips in behind Xion in his chair. "Hi." she whispers in his ear.

"Hey." Xion says back, continuing his work. "I know I saved them...where are they?"

"Look at this..." Tia says, pointing at an area in a plane. "Go back to our current plane." Xion switches back to the plane requested. A large green blot encompases an area of almost two star systems.

"That's weird...that wasn't there before the planal ruin." Xion says. "Thanks for noticing that." Xion gives Tia a small kiss on her cheek. "So this may be why I couldn't find him."

"Well, we could talk to Pioneer 2 about probes..." Tia suggests, blushing.

"Good idea...but I'm hungry." Xion says, getting up. Tia is clinging to his back, and they head off to the lounge area for some food.

[Risp_old]

<i>I might make another section of my ministory thing soon, but for now I have said all I want to say.</i>

[Risp_old]

10:00
Tangent walks away from the now decamped enemy camp, and to an outpost near the main base. Getting on a hovercar, he goes away, closely followed by Risp. Soon after, he reaches the main base and gets out. Walking back to the main building, he enters the magic quarters. Risp himself takes a different route. He walks off to the training grounds, to check on the troops. There he sees Strato, now giving a speech to the hackers on the importance of magic in a proper army. Satisfied to see everything normal, Risp continues down to the campgrounds. He meets up with a red peep. "Status report, Captain Neith."
"Everything is normal here. The troops are still in fine morale, and the second barracks is nearly half done. Our scout parties have found some more mineral deposits, and we are already building mines there. Some of the outposts on the edges of our territory have reported increased activity in the local militias, but they will not be a problem. We are most likely going to quell all the resistance on this planet within the month."
"Good..." Risp says, "carry on. I think I shall check up on Veltha next..."

[Risp_old]

<i>I am adding a new element to terrain modifiers- resident monsters.
Now different locations can have a few types of enemies that are encountered there if you enter. They have allignments of their own, so they can be good evil or neutral, though they are most commonly neutral. I am not done with the list, but here are a few examples of my work so far-

Ent: /good/
500 d 2000 hp
weak against fire

King Lion (miniboss): /neutral/
1000 d 5000 hp
*majestic (anyone who uses an attack or a technique on King Lion gets -1 attack this turn or on their next turn if they would have 0 for this turn without the help of majestic; counterattack)
strong against all elements

Pathbinder: /evil/
400 d 2000 hp
*landbind (target is not effected by terrain modifiers)
strong against all elements

What should the monsters for Gran Da Val be?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Delbiters, and some other monsters that from PSO that I have no Idea about.
So, how does one stop a King Lion? Get a bigger lion. XD

[Risp_old]

<i>It would be helpful if I had stats and abilities for them.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Easy fix there, risp.

[Risp_old]

<i>Those stats don't really translate into this stat system well, and you can't have that many monsters for you area- I would say 6 per terrain type at max.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Well, the terrains are HUGE in this game. The Caves and the Ruins are the two largest areas in the game. :D

Besides, I only feel like using a few for Gran Da Val...

Sinow Berril, Delbiter, Sinow Zoa, Sinow Zele, Gran Sorcerer, and Gal Gryphon.

[Risp_old]

<i>Well, you know more about them than me.</i>

[Xion]

<i>That I do.

And I want to make one small change...Instead of Sinow Zele, I want a Mil Lilly.


Sinow Zoa - Can Freeze, and turn itself invisible and warp. Casts reflection, so it can be found even when invisible.

Sinow Berril - Turns Invisible, doesn't cast a reflection, no status effects.

Delbiter - Powerful tiger-like animal, a good meleé fighter, with a powerful beam strike. Can Charge and confuse.

Gran Sorcerer - Casts Grants (Powerful and slow Light-based Spell) and Megid (Instant death, slow moving, VERY low hit rate [16% or less]) from it's Right crystal, and Resta (A high-powered healing spell) from it's Left Crystal. However, the crystals are in plain sight and unprotected, so a few good strikes shatters them. The Sorcerer itself can warp around the field, and usually flees when it's active crystal is broken. Uneffective without it's crystals.

Mil Lilly: Very rare about, and they are reserved as the last level of defence of Xion's. Very powerful, and very deadly. Their Megid blasts are very fast, so they are hard to dodge but still have the low rate of hit. Compared to their akin Ob Lillies, their rate of hitting is almost doubled, from 16% to 33%. Their range is their falter, with a range of about 10 feet. All megid spells have this same range, so if you are out of range (Yes, 10 feet 1 inch is out of range.) and have a weapon with the lilly in range, you can easily kill it. Though when it's out of range, it can still use a room-wide ability that paralyzes at a 25% hit ratio.

Gal Gryphon: A large Gryphon, prefers swooping to sitting down and attacking with it's magnificent claws. Can create typhons with it's large wings, may it be in air or on the ground. Prefers to snatch up intruders and drop them off at the bluffs on the Southwestern area of the island.


FULL stats I'll get to later.

[Risp_old]

<i>So, with the short range of the Mil Lilly it's attacks would be considered Melee ranged?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Nay. Meleé range is about 1-2 feet, maybe even 3. This is more short-range than anything.

Meleé - 0-3 feet.
Short Range - 3-10 feet
Long Range - 10-300 feet
Hyper Range - 300+ feet

[Risp_old]

<i>There are only 2 ranges in this system (and in fact in most RPGish systems)- melee and ranged. Melee things are, generally, things that are at such a short range you need to walk to your target and cannot hit anything flying. Ranged is anything longer than that.</i>

[Xion]

<i>But the Mil can hit flying things. Therfore, ranged.

[Risp_old]

<i>Can it hit things flying higher than 10 feet up?

mypage</i>

[Xion]

<i>Can a gun, with a range of 10 feet, hit anything more than 10 feet up? No. But a gun is still a ranged weapon. Think about that.

[Risp_old]

<i>That is a pointless question. Melee is a classification that has an actual meaning in the game. In that case, the gun (while being in reality some kinda impossible and useless ranged weapon) would be melee. Think about this- with that hypothetical gun, would you be able to hit a hot-air balloon? If it was classified as ranged, then it would be able to hit such a balloon even if the balloon was 50 feet in the air.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Then you, my ignorant friend, have never seen somebody shoot down a hot air baloon with a gun.

It is very possible to do so.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>No, I mean it is impossible to shoot down a hot air balloon with a gun that has bullets which magically dissapear after 10 feet. Unless it is a very low-flying balloon.</i>

[Xion]

<i>True...true...

But Mil's are not meant for Anti-air. That's what the Gal Gryphon is for.

[Risp_old]

<i>Alright, I made quite a few new monsters. I still have some to go, but I am nearing the mark. Here are some more samples.

Magick Wisp: /good/
500 d 10 hp
*etherial (immune to physical damage; passive)
immune to all elements but darkness

Madman: /neutral/
10 d melee 600 hp 40 mp
*break (deals 500 kinetic d; 10 mp)
*crack (deals 1500 kinetic d and confuses; takes 30 mp and 40 hp)

Autohammer: /neutral/
600 d melee 400 hp
strong against fire, steel. weak against lightning

Dark Matter: /evil/
1000 d melee 600 hp
strong against all elements

Yeti: /neutral/
300 d melee 600 hp
immune to ice. weak against fire

Oh, and I forgot- if an attack is melee range, you need to mark so. I have fixed all the previous monsters that should have been marked as melee but were not.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Here is another thing on my agenda- law-changing items/techniques/whatever. Should they be allowed?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

YES.

[Risp_old]

<i>My vote is yes, but in EXTREME moderation.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

That's why we have <s>the judges</s> Xion's massive knowledge of FFTA.

[Risp_old]

<i>Xion is for moderation?

But, anyway, since I got FFTA myself (like a week or two ago) I have quite a knowledge of it also. So does Strato.</i>

[Xion]

<i>I guess I could moderate the battles for such things...

And my vote is YES...but they'd have to be extremely rare and careful.

Antilaw cards and Law cards would be needed...but who would be the judge?

I...guess I could judge...Xion on a Chocobo...</i>

Xion is asleep in his chair, screen glowing in his face.

[Lem_Gambino]

Naw, let's stick with Cid. Strato could be Cid, since he's not on very often.

[Xion]

<i>Strato's biased against me...Strato and Me are like Cid and Ezel early in the game...:p</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>So a player would actually have to be the judge? You only need to have some laws for each battle. It doesn't need anybody to actually do stuff, unless you like teleporting corpses around.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

@Risp: Ah. Well, uh... *brain fart* I can't think now.
@Xion: That should be interesting. >=D

[Xion]

<i>I guess I could judge...Being a planeswalker enables me to be at battles and such with ease, and my Planal Rift ability can move the courpses...

Cards are easy...

And laws are easy. Anybody willing to switch over to the JP overdrive system? Combos and Totemas and Overdrive abilities...

And of course, I can fight myself so I may need abilities. :)</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>However, you lack the judge's ability of being invincible and impartial. Hopefully imparital, at least.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

All he has to do is ask Queen Remedi nicely. And leaving behind all of those Law/Antilaw Cards helps too. ;)

HOWEVER...

Xion cannot be invincible/impartial if he is a participant is battle. 'Nuff said. He can still use Law/Antilaw cards, though.

[Risp_old]

<i>I don't think Xion will ever be impartial.</i>

[Xion]

<i>I'm a touch self-centered, but I keep a keen eye out for any law breaks. I may go a little harsh sometimes but I am impartial.

And yes, in battle I am not immortal. :D

[Risp_old]

<i>I don't trust you to choose the laws. Or else I will find myself, in critical battles, with my largest advantage forbidden. Oh, and you might want, if you insist on being some kinda judge, to see how the law system works in this game. It is somewhat different, because JP does not translate into this game well, nor would jail work well.</i>

[Xion]

<i>The Law system will work like this...

I will throw all the laws into a hat, and draw three at complete random. These three are now BANNED at the beginning of the battle.

R1-R4 laws warrant a Yellow card, and the removal of all JP/Overdrive from the offending unit.

R5 laws warant a Yellow card, Removal of all JP/Overdrive from the offending unit, AND they will be dispelled of all positive boost magic.

R6 laws warrant a Red Card, Removal from battle, Removal of all JP/Overdrive, and the confiscation of Unit's equipment untill they are released from the Gran Da Val prison.


I'll get a list of the laws up soon...hopefully.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Didn't I already make the system, like... a few weeks ago? And no prision. That would only go to two extremes- pointless or overly evil.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Jail? Who said anything about jail?

I merely said "Removal from battle" not "thrown in Jail"


oh. Gran Da Valian Prison. Well, that's only a temp thing, since some battles can run upwards to a week. Besides, they will have a soft bed, a warm room, and hot food and cold water/hot water.

When the battle is finished, you'll get your unit back. The items are just taken away so that they don't "fight back" to get back into the fight, but I do agree that they will be returned.


You're welcome.






That law system had five judges, with their pros and cons. But that's a touch biased, also, don't you think? All I need is every type of magic, weapon, and a few more (Dmg: Human, Fight, Magic, Law Cards, and so on) and throw them into a hat.

[Risp_old]

<i>Those were just examples. There can be more than 5 judges.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

An army of judges? Sounds like fun.

And then Sin comes and wipes everyone out, leaving Cid alive. He absorbs him and becomes Cin, Judgemaster of the universe!!!

...Until Marche cleans his sorry clock. X)

[Xion]

<i>True...how do you figure that there can be a judge at every engagement there is?

Besides, I'll be at the "story" battles that don't involve me.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>But, for the record, any peep army turf is like a Jagd. However, in this game death isn't perminent without the help of the judges. So it is like a Jagd without the downside.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

1- Instant Transmission?
2- That should be fun.

NTS(note to self): Play FFTA and make teh CL4N stronger, foo!

[Xion]

<i>Ahh...because of that "shadow spell" thing?

I'm considering bring in the Anarchist for the second chapter...

[Lem_Gambino]

<i>But, for the record, any peep army turf is like a Jagd. However, in this game death isn't perminent without the help of the judges. So it is like a Jagd without the downside.</i>
So true. Just take your fallen to the nearest clinic and all wil be well(or you can just save your game).

[Risp_old]

<i>No, more passive stuff. All peep army turf has equipment in place that would nullify your judge powers. I guess you could come if you want, but you could only watch.

@L_G- so then what happens if two battles are going on at once? And what about how Ezel mentions 'the magic judge' and stuff going on vacation sometimes if you ask him for market gossip?

Oh, and several characters have 'bring back from the dead' spells.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

<i>Ahh...because of that "shadow spell" thing?

1- Yessir.
2- Um, what? I've never seen that class before.

[Lem_Gambino]

1- That can't be good.
2- I haven't gotten that far in the game yet.
3- I know. XD

[Risp_old]

<i>Wow, you really must be early in the game.</i>

[Xion]

<i>When they say that the "Magic Judge" is on vacation, that means that the Magic rules are less strict and magic cards I believe are cheaper...I'm not sure. I don't use cards very much, I just pwn my enemies with brute force and/or phantasm skills.

Look at the few chapters of Project C.H.A.O.S. to see what I mean by the "Anarchist"</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I myself only feel the need for antilaw cards when I see a ban on color magic.

mypage, mytopic</i>

[Xion]

<i>Same here...except for a ban on "Target All" or "Skills"</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>If I was fighting a lot of monsters and there was a ban on dealing damage against monsters I would also be reaching for my antilaws. But that is about it.

Oh, and sometimes I break bans on copycat. I get nervous when copycat is banned.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

So, don't use Copycat. I haven't learned that skill yet (I only got as far as the second story mission), so I wouldn't know.

Banning damage against monsters? That's like telling someone not to push the buttons on the Game Boy! >(

I've got some new story ideas brewing. Prepare yourselves! >=)

[Risp_old]

<i>No, not that kind of copycat. Copycat is doing the same thing the last person did. I got a yellow card for that once.</i>

[Xion]

<i>I've gotten two units thrown in jail because I didn't know it was banned and it was reeeeealy dark in the room.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Anyway, what kind of laws will there be? Should there be some on the more radical things in FFTA, like 'Damage2Monster' and stuff?</i>

[Xion]

<i>I was thinking something like this...

- Bans on all types of magic
- Outlawed Meleé and Ranged Combat (two seperate laws)
- Outlaw on Attacks
- Outlaw on all Magic
- Outlaw on Law cards (Forces following of other laws)
- Outlaw on All Status Effects, both positive and negative.
- Outlaw on Fleeing (yes, It will be a penalty if you flee from battle with this in play.)

Any other ideas?

[Risp_old]

<i>What is the difference between a banned and an outlawed thing?</i>

[Xion]

<i>banned and Outlawed mean the same thing, simpleton.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>So then why did you use the word when ban is easier and quicker to spell? Oh well, I guess you don't have to make sense.

-Ban on healing.
-Ban on entering a battle after it has started (to keep people from calling in reinforcements as much as they want)
-An individual ban for each element
-Ban on using items
-Ban on summon spells
-Ban on killing someone on your first round in combat
-Ban on doing the same thing more than once in a turn</i>

<hr>
1) good idea. it's in.
2) Another good idea. It's in.
3) It's already there.
4) I forgot about that. It's in.
5) Already there.
6) Dumb idea. It's out.
7) I forgot about that too. It's in.



And yes, I have won an engagement on the first turn...and it RULED!</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>3. When you said 'Bans on all types of magic' I assumed you meant a ban that bans all magic. I guess I didn't notice that crucial 's'.
5. See above
6. No. That is to keep you (or, for that matter, anyone) to do those annoying 'jump into battle, use best attack, win' thing. That would reduce battle to the point all that matters is that you get the first turn.</i>

[Strato]

This is rapidly losing it's originality, and becoming a FF blender.

[Lem_Gambino]

Really? I didn't notice. *tosses various FF-related things into a blender and sets to to puree*

3 MINUTES LATER...
Who wants some Squarejuice?

[Risp_old]

<i>Sadly. We need more original content. I AM THIS THREAD'S ONLY HOPE!</i>

[Strato]

<i>Judges are pointless, annoying, and make no sense. Honestly, why would we need something like that in a thread as pathetic as this is already?

[Risp_old]

<i>Any suggestions for what kinds of abilities Sin should have? I don't know enough to make any up, but it should have an ability that allows it to run away even if there are anti-running-away abilities in place (to keep Sin from coming in, nuking someone, and then being unable to run away and thus forced to stay there and kill everyone). However, Sin should be the ONLY one allowed to have an ability like this.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

My post 1500.

Flee is a FFX ability that allows the party to run away at once. I don't know any such abilties that allow Sin to run away, but I can make one up:

What's that behind you?!- Allows user and party to run away, regardless of laws.

Sin also knows some Gravity magic (like Demi) that slices a target's HP by a certain amount. It also has Giga-Gravation, but it wouldn't be useable since we're banning instant death skills. GG KOs ALL opponents, regardless of HP, but in FFX, Sin doesn't use it unless you wait 12-13 turns. I won't give Sin GG.
