Pokemon Umbral Theatre 13: Armored Goes West

[Bard The 5th LW]

Overall it seemed like a good enough post. Any complaints would be stupid.

I'll be sure to actually post this time around.

[Dracorion]

For God's sakes Gem, hurry up and post.

I want to make fun of you!

[Geminex]

Sup.

Y'know, I'm stuck with a dilemma. On the one hand, none of this seems very bad.

I mean, yeah, my points on weather got rebuffed, but eh. If you guys insist, fair enough. I still think you're wrong (I mean come on, this is the kind of shit that made AB raise the enemy HP by, like, 300%, if the GM's doing that then there's something going wrong!) but it's really not worth it. I'll observe a bit more, and probably bring it up again. But for now, fair enough. Let's have the enemies use weather some more, really bring out the double-edged nature. If it's screwed up, I'll resurface, if it works then I will never have disagreed with you to begin with. I WILL NEVER HAVE BEEN WRONG. NEVER.

And yeah, Drac's apparently stepping in as DM for the next few weeks. But eh, we'll only get, like, 2 rounds of combat done in that time. And as long as he doesn't abuse the power (and I certainly trust him not to ), sure. It's his sidequest, after all. And that post was interesting. Or at least the enemy's actions. This'll be fun.

Other than that, there weren't very many issues, other than you guys having fun while I was trapped at teambuilding and communication camp, and I can hardly fault you for that. And yes, seriously. I just spent 5 days with my colleagues/classmates, learning about communication, teamwork and the power of friendship. And I wish I was joking about the friendship bit, but some parts were just nauseatingly idealistic. Though I did learn quite a bit.

Anyway, so there's not much to get excited about. Cool, mellow post.

But it's expected, nay, demanded of me that I display incontrollable, if impotent rage every time I return to this thread! That there be a chorus of 'what the hell is this crap!' and insults to your collective intelligence! Wrathful post! Admittedly, you'd be making this easier if your activity was actually worthy of wratch, but anyway.

To compromise: I've made the mellow post, but for those of you who really, really get off on being want to get insulted by me, here's somethin' for you to compile. Code is C (I've been learning it for, like, 3 days), make it a console application. Enjoy! It'll be just like real me, only I won't be putting any work in!

#import stdio.h

int main(void)

{
int l_gemirage_int32;
for(l_gemirage_int32 = 100000000; l_gemirage_int32 < 9000; l_gemirage_int32--)
{
printf("fuckyoufuckyoufuckyoufuckyoufuckyoufuckyou fuckyoufuckyou/n");
}
}

I don't think he said he that was why he did it. Even if it was, weather wouldn't have been the only reason and even if we nerfed it before, he probably still would've buffed the enemies' HP.

And even if we nerf it now, the enemies' HP will stay buffed.

Except you will have been.

HAHAHA OH WOW.

Also, your code sucks.

[Geminex]

HAHAHA OH WOW.

I concede the former. But like I said, we'll see about the latter. That means no making absolute statements. Unless you wanna continue the discussion. You wanna continue the discussion?

Well, we've had one hell of a lot of offensive power last mission. Mostly because of amplifiers and weather. We nerf those two, problem will be gone. Then AB could go back to lower-HP enemies (I mean, it's not like he doesn't just come up with the stats on the spot, there's no reason against going back). But let's save those points for later.

And sue me about the code. I wrote that without any notes, and the last time I did any coding was over a week ago. If it works, I'm happy. If not, eh. Just debug it, will ya?

[Bard The 5th LW]

Gem change your avvy now.

[Menarker]

Drac, I seem to think there is a problem with the battle synopsis.

Firstly, how was Whitney able to hit 4 foes? Armaldo only hit one foe with X-Scissor. There was no other attacker alongside Whitney and I thought Blizzard only hit 2 foes. Unless my memory sucks ass and Blizzard was meant to mean 3 targets? But then we'd run into the problem that AOE moves have to hit 3 alligned foes and the foes in question are not alligned 3 in a row.

Secondly, it seems like the characters didn't attack the foes that was assigned in the battle plan. For example, Whitney was set to hit A, B and C. She instead hit A, B, O and P. Kurika who was originally supposed to attack P hit C instead.

I mean, it would be pretty silly to have to organize a battle plan if it didn't get followed by the GM.

Thirdly, Kurika seemed to have done pretty piddling damage considering that she has slayer stats and hit for super effective damage. Mechs types are weak to electric type moves after all. Especially when compared to Mirror who almost hit as hard as she did and didn't have super effectiveness.


All of that said, I'm fairly pleased that you didn't go overboard. Kinda doubt Kurika would have actually spoken like that, but it's nothing to worry about.

Kinda interesting that practically all the foe's elemental attacks were aimed to the worst possible target. As if they were programmed by someone who didn't want the Watchmen to get hurt. :3

Do you wanna get wiped on the first turn?

That said, I made a mistake and used the plan in this post instead of that other one.

My bad.

Armaldo damaged two targets because in the plan I mistakenly went by it was attacking two targets. I assumed you meant for him to use Divide at the time.

And re-read AB's post when the enemies first showed up. Killdolls are specifically stated to be Almighty-type. Therefore, no mechanical weaknesses.

I'll fix the post now.

[Dracorion]

I guess I was confused by this:

Killdoll (Almighty)
- Attack: 100 Pwr, Almighty
- Skills: Double Attack, Evade 50%

In retrospect, all the rest of the Evoliths have types next to their names despite not technically being those types.

That said, I'm still not sure Kurika should've done super-effective damage. Killdolls are practically Almighty-type Evoliths, and Evoliths don't have any weaknesses despite being mechanical foes.

[Menarker]

Probably should make a note of that to ask AB. It's a good observation.

AB: Do Killbots have the water/electric weaknesses of standard mechs?
