Pokemon Umbral Theatre 18: I am Dracorion Almighty!

Dracorion · 01-05-2011, 07:16 PM

But before I crush you all under my heel, onto important matters:

Figures all the New Year pictures would show up after I post the new year thread.

FUCK YES THAT IS AN AWESOME EVOLUTION OF OMASTAR AND WE NEED TO HAVE IT.

You know Adamantitar? It's like this but badder.

And now to deal with you jerkbags.

Actually, since Impact doesn't have a stat boost or a Helping Hand I think the bastard might just survive.

Again, or else.

I think fucking not.

I'm perfectly willing to listen to whatever interpretions you may have about the rules, but I take any such interpretions as if they came from me, Gem, Bard or Dante. As interpretions from a fellow player. Especially when the rules are not specific to your quest alone, but to the entire premise of the game in general, including after your character specific mission.

Well, see.

I did keep saying that AB could overrule me. In the meantime, I thought it'd be better to enforce a couple of rules that we could always go back on depending on what AB said, rather than let you assholes run rampant with like thirty fucking attacks in one turn.

Having these love-partners who are also compatible with their respective strengths just enables them to do these techniques with more grace, skill and flair than normal.
Or as Renny would say it, these techniques may have been learned BECAUSE of their interaction with these specific characters. Lola TAUGHT Renny how to use items like these because of her skill as a medic. Rayleen TAUGHT Impact how to be even more of a leader than he was. The absence of these characters doesn't mean that the PCs suddenly is unable to do it, or that they haven't personally developed by their interactions with said specific character.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Veiled? I thought it was about as subtle as getting coldcocked upside the head. By an actual cock.

Quote:

Impact: CCC
Whitney: Sunny Day
Volbeat: Helping Hand Renny
Kurika: Devils dance on Sergeant B
Lola: Attack booster on Renny, Special attack booster on Impact
Impact: Flamethrower on Footsoldier C. Stats bonus, plus STAB, Super effective, weather, give him an effective multiplier of 9, on top of a 130 power attack
Renny: Pokebrid action, reduce Foot Soldier B defense by 1 stage.
Renny: Paradigm Shift, Psycho cut on Foot Soldier B: Stats are effectively triple, Plus Stab, plus super effective attack, plus helping hand on top of a 70 power attack
Togekiss: Heat Wave on Foot Soldier A and Engineer A
Mirror: Build 2 Fire evoliths. Both use eruption on Foot Soldier A and Engineer B.
Mirror: Ground Cluster on Health Fountain. If that's not vulnerable, hit Foot Soldier C. If C's dead, hit B.
Impact: Use Stamina boost, hit Medic with Flamethrower.

WOW WILL YOU LOOK AT ALL THOSE STATS BOOSTS.
WILL YOU JUST LOOK AT THEM.
SO BEAUTIFUL.

That enough?

No. Menarker was the actual cock. I was more of the cock-tease.

This isn't about thirty fucking attacks. This is about the fact that letting plot shit influence gameplay shit ruins balance shit unfairly shit.
Shit.

If you're not gonna let us explain it away, we'll just rebalance, gameplay-wise and explain that away. More work for everyone.

OH NO
Though seriously. The only reason you make more of these than me is that you have more pokeporn on your PC than me.
I am proud of not making these threads.

Dracorion · 01-05-2011, 07:27 PM

Actually I get the pictures from the same site AB gets them.

It can get a bit difficult, actually, when we start burning through RP threads. Because then it gets hard to find SFW pictures that haven't already been used.

Geminex · 01-05-2011, 07:32 PM

Which site is this?
Purely for scientific reasons, of course.

Menarker · 01-05-2011, 07:43 PM

You should probably delete that post and send it via PM. It's very NSFW to the point that it might not be safe enough for this forum.

Dracorion · 01-05-2011, 07:48 PM

Well at least I knew well enough not to actually link it.

And Gem, you know what a Menarker post reminds me? You telling me that your attack totally should knock out the Footsoldier.

Because it's like what Menarker always does with his plans, saying that the character has this and this and this bonus and that it should hopefully kill the target. In a sickeningly nice manner.

Except you're, of course, the opposite.

But I'm pretty sure if it was AB GMing, you'd be asking nicely like Menarker.

Do you see where I'm going here, or would you like me to spell it out for you, assmunch?

Geminex · 01-06-2011, 04:05 AM

Look, if you want me to suck your dick, you can just say so.

But as it is,
a) if AB was GMing I wouldn't be outlining this at all. Or I'd let Menarker do all of it. I'm just clarifying those two attacks especially for you. Isn't that nice of me?
Of course, you can do with that information what you like. But this is also me, saying that it'd be more than just kinda bullshit for an attack of that strength not to kill.

b) And in that vein, I'm preeetty sure you're already on pretty damn thin ice, GM-wise. Making that ice even thinner by making our team unsuccessful out of spite would not be a wise thing to do.

Y'know what, I'll say please.
Please, Drac. Be... reasonable.
Please, Drac. Realize that being temporary DM won't make me respect you or grovel in any way whatsoever.
Please, Drac. Be aware that, while you have more control over the RP than me right now, that is extremely temporary. And when that's passed, whelp. Look at that balance of power shifting. And look at me out for revenge. And let's not even talk about the sequel.
Please, Drac. Do your job. Don't try to abuse a position you don't actually have.

And then make me a sandwich.

Dracorion · 01-06-2011, 04:13 AM

Naw.

Geminex · 01-06-2011, 04:13 AM

What, no sandwich?
